She did. I didn't even ask her to. Also what if I wear my eyepatch all the fucking time instead and never show people what's under there. I like that option.

[fiddlestick]

Eyepatches are pretty cool too, so I think whichever way more comfortable with is fine.

[HE IS STAYING NEUTRAL HERE]

[usurpers]

You said it kicks war paint ass though and it does.

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, but.

Come on. Don't make me spell shit like this out for you.

[fiddlestick]

[Boy oh boy]

I'll do it Anna.

I think she means she's still uncomfortable showing the injury. It has only been a month.

[hauntedsavior]

You should honestly count yourselves lucky I still want to be on stage.

[usurpers]

[ oh ]

The eyepatch is still great too, Anna.
But we could use whatever we want, okay? We don’t do anything we don’t want to do here.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah. Our band hasn't decided on a specific aesthetic yet, so I think whatever we want to go as would be fine.

And really Anna, I'll probably stand out more than you will. My friends are helping me dress, but I'm not exactly what someone imagines when they think "metal".

[hauntedsavior]

You're gonna look fine, dude. Gonna be busting out some tasty-ass riffs front and center. I mean, you'll probably be the one people think of when we start talking aesthetic.

Who's singing, anyway? Or are we doing a Bang Camaro thing?

[usurpers]

We’re all going to stand out, guys. That’s what makes us GIANT⚡️ROBOT.

I can do anything when we need screaming or something aggressive. I’ve been seeing a vocal coach since the beginning of February, but Elliot has an amazing voice.

[fiddlestick]

Thanks, but it's a voice I can't really use on stage without magic getting set off, remember? I'd rather avoid that.

Eren would be good for our aggressive songs. Anna, how's your voice?

[hauntedsavior]

Used to be ruined by a decade of smoking, but it turns out A2 didn't smoke so now I sound a little less like shit.

Wait, fuck. It's robotics. I could literally do some Hatsune Miku shit.

[usurpers]

(I didn’t forget about the magic)

Who’s that?

[fiddlestick]

(I'm not doing magic onstage)

She's a japanese singing synthesizer. Completely computer generated, but she's pretty popular because the mascot for the tech is based on japanese idols.

[hauntedsavior]

Wish some of the girls I know had this tech. It'd probably make them a lot happier.

But like whatever. I don't know if me being all bleep bloop synthesized voice shit fits with metal. I could do backing vocals, MAYBE, but I'd have to be mixed way low.

[usurpers]

It’s. Virtual. There’re virtual concerts.

[ the things he god damn learns from the internet! ]

We don’t have to conform to standards. Is it hard to change your tone?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, it's pretty crazy when you really think about it.

Eren's right. If Babymetal can make it big with their own style, we can do our own thing too. We're already a pretty weird group, it's better to lean into it than try to hide it.

[usurpers]

What’s Babymetal

[fiddlestick]

[No explanation attached. Babymetal must be experienced]

[hauntedsavior]

See I have shit I could say to actually answer that question, but I absolutely need to know what Eren thinks of Babymetal, right now, immediately.

[usurpers]

[ eren jaeger is online but he’s stuck in the baby metal dimension and forgets to speak.

proof: ellen jaguar is now listening to Spotify and if y’all don’t say anything he might go at it for hours ]

[fiddlestick]

[WELP, he knows what that means]

Hehe, I think he likes it.

[hauntedsavior]

Hell yeah he does. Because Babymetal fucking rules. They're Rob Halford-approved, how could anyone hate them.

Anyway, it's only a theory. I haven't tried messing with my voice yet. I'm not a mechanic or a programmer and the only mechanic I knew fell off the app. If you've got ideas, I'll give 'em a shot.

[usurpers]

[ baby metal is wizardry and eren can’t believe he’s hooked LIKE A HUGE PAUSE LATER ]

I have their albums.
I’ll look around for any on the app we might’ve missed for you, Anna. Can you imagine a cover of this? With more screaming?

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, all of them already?

I know how to tinker with audio equipment, but that should probably be a last resort since I'm not an engineer. [Just a music nut]

I wouldn't mind a cover, if we can pull off singing in japanese.
