Exciting times, aren't they? I have to say all this idol hype is a little nostalgic. Even if I usually worked with independent groups, I do know a few pro idols back home! It's a tough life, but some people might say the reward is worth it.

With that said, though, I'm always interested to hear about the music industry in other worlds. What's popular where you come from? Or maybe more importantly, what's it like there? I know some of you come from some pretty different places, like that world where rap battles are a little more literal than most. That still throws me a little, but it sounds exciting, too, doesn't it?

Even if you're not in the music industry yourself, I'm sure you have a couple stories.

no worries not offended at all.
just dont want to make it out to seem like some big secret

anyway you might be right
tho not inclined to try it out just in case

[isntitsad]

That's sensible enough. With the past few months, anyone would want to be on alert. Thankfully, things seem to be fine these days.

[circumitus]

wouldnt count on that lull for very long
goess thats more reason for people to appreciate the downtime

dont know fuck all about that idol stuff tho
half expecting them to end up summoning another pissed off god thru the power of song or some shit

[isntitsad]

I almost want to agree with you when you put it that way. I mean, there are myths like that.

[circumitus]

you mean myths like sirens and alkonost and such?

[isntitsad]

Right, and a story from my home where a goddess had shut herself away and the others had to try and lure her back out. That sort of thing.

[circumitus]

havent heard of that one

[isntitsad]

I shouldn't be surprised -- different worlds would have different cultures, after all. What kind of place are you from?

[circumitus]

came from earth like a lot of people here
tho the year was about 2153 or so

or maybe it was 54?

lost track of the time

[isntitsad]

Oh, really? It was only 2020 for me. Of course a lot would be different, but... Well, I'm sure it's a complicated situation, right?

[circumitus]

seems like theres more people here from the 20th and 21st century than far enough after.

can remember some things from the 2020s tho

was a very different time then

[isntitsad]

Do you mean you've lived that long? I guess that would explain losing track of the years...

[circumitus]

been active for about 97 years now

or well
going to be 98 soon if the dates match up

but have memories of someone that go back to the 2020s

[isntitsad]

That sounds sort of complicated, actually...

[circumitus]

yeah "its complicated" has always been an easier answer than trying to explain that shit to most people
