[the local blue woman is confused by boy bands and well, she has to let the world know.]

I... Don't get the appeal of this, [Vague hand gesturing!] Boy band thing.

And I like music. So can anyone explain why this is so crazy?

[trenchdoting]

Whaddya mean, pal? What's not to get? It's about heart. It's about charm. It's about personality!

[riptidequeen]

Is it?

It seems kind of... Forced to me.

[trenchdoting]

Forced? Now that's just silly, pal! See, these boys are singing from their hearts. I can just feel it! Sometimes, you just gotta listen to the songs about a dozen times before they really sink in!

[riptidequeen]

... I've listened to some of them, but not that much. That's just a bit too much, Dick.

[trenchdoting]

Hey now, it's perfectly normal. How else are you gonna memorize the lyrics? And I sure haven't felt like listening to anything else, pal!

[riptidequeen]

No, I don't think that is normal.

Maybe you should listen to something else?

[trenchdoting]

Like what? Lapis, these songs are practically the only thing playing these days. And they're do darn catchy!

[He starts idly humming one of the tunes.]

[riptidequeen]

Maybe just don't listen? Silence is good sometimes too.

[She frowns a little at him humming.]

[trenchdoting]

They do say that silence is golden! But I dunno, pal. Even when I have the music turned off, it can get stuck in my head all day. They call that an earowrm!

[riptidequeen]

... I still don't get it, Dick.

[trenchdoting]

It's okay, Lapis. Maybe you still gotta just give it some more time!

[riptidequeen]

Maybe, but I just don't get it.

[Or like it.]

[trenchdoting]

That's strange. Maybe... maybe it's not for everyone?

[riptidequeen]

Maybe? I still want to know why people are going crazy about it though.

[trenchdoting]

I don't think it's that hard to figure out. Just look at them! They're a bunch of talented and charming young people, and they're all so full of personality. They put all of that heart and charm into those songs. And they're so catchy! Of course they resonate with a lot of us, pal!

[riptidequeen]

[She's not going to mention that it kind of makes her think of Blue Diamond, and not in a good way.]

Mm, if you say so.

[trenchdoting]

Uh-huh. That's how I see it!

[riptidequeen]

Yep, and if you're having fun then I guess it's okay...

[trenchdoting]

I sure am! Thanks, Lapis. I'm glad to have your approval!
