[Someone has heard Rasha's voice, but for Don - well. Loving himself is pretty much par for the course.]

So back in my time we have this thing called the Mickey Mouse club. A whole bunch of kids who sing and dance about Mickey Mouse. He's got a song.

Who's the leader of the club
that's made for you and me
M I C - K E Y M O U S E

And so on, and so forth. he's a talking mouse and he's Disney is amazing. He's pretty damn fantastic. He's not as great as I am but he's still pretty damn good. Where was I.

Anyway this boy band thing for those who are curious seems like the Mickey Mouse club and all of you look stupid in your hats and T-shirts. No class. No style. Nobody has any idea what class or style looks like and the only thing you have to turn to is my era. We defined it.

We peaked in the 60s. I'm at the peak. All there is to it, but I thought I'd provide some insight. Namely that. Children are dumb. And that's what this is.

[OOC: for anyone who wants to find Don, he'll be strutting around in his nicest 1960s cut suit at 100% Thot level 2 clubs flirting with anyone who gets close. Leave some action tags for him.]

your planet peaked when they started singing about a talking mouse?

Re: text;

[anotheroldfashioned]

Well I was born before then so I'd argue we peaked with me but I like Mickey. Don't tell anyone. Even if I have great taste.

Hey though. Speaking of.

Where are you?

[hatejakku]

at home

are you okay?

where are you?

My dad would probably agree with you about the sixties being the best, but are you really comparing yourself to Mickey Mouse? Not even Walt Disney or someone?

Re: text;

[anotheroldfashioned]

I'm comparing myself to Walt Disney what did I say? I mean Mickey Mouse works too it is a symbol kid. And Walt always says he's like Mickey and ever since hearing that music I mean.

I'm just as god. Hell I'm better than both.

[herbmixing]

Oh, sorry. Maybe I read that wrong.

What have you done that's better than DISNEY?

Your era has some kind of monopoly on class and style? Excuse you, but I have a thing or ten to say about that!

Re: text;

[anotheroldfashioned]

Really.

Aha. Free love's good. The hippies started it though. You guys finished it. And you're gorgeous. But not as pretty as I am.

[winscenario]

Aw, Don. I'd be a lot more flattered if you just left it at how gorgeous I am.

As far as music, we did peak in the 60s, though the 70s and 80s did have some great rock bands.

[ He... kind of agrees about the style too, but one thing at a time. ]

As far as life and society though? Absolutely not. This thing you're using to type this out? We have this for real in 2020.

The boy band thing is a little bit more than 'children are dumb', especially because this one in particular seems to be attracting adults too. It seems to have created a form of mass psychogenic illness, or mass hysteria.

Re: text; un: noshitsherlock

[anotheroldfashioned]

Thank you! I mean even I know the Beatles. bandstand. Elvis. All excellent.

Okay yeah but ours had class. Ours had gorgeous designs this is small and I can't use it during my moon so.

Rasha has style. I'd represent him. That says something since I'm so good at this what the hell is a psychogenic illness?

A lot of adults seem really into these guys too, though.

Was this Mickey Mouse Disney guy a kid himself? Sounds kind of weird if he was an adult with an all-kid club...

I spit out water. I love it.

[anotheroldfashioned]

Well people watch American bandstand. The merchandise presents an intriguing idea to market them. But.

[And he snorts]

Not mickey mouse disney. Just Mickey mouse or mickey. He's a cartoon character. And he's got a...girlfriend? Wife? I'm honestly not sure she's a mouse. Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse. They've got a dog named pluto, there's goofy. Not sure what the hell Goofy is besides an idiot. They've got princesses too my daughter loves sleeping beauty. Keeps begging me to take her to Disneyland to meet her and Mickey Mouse.

The kids are just kids. With a fan club. They sing a song, wear mouse ears. Kids want to dress like Annette.

Doesn't work well without a picture.

I stopped reading at "he's not as great as I am."

You worried about that fictional mouse upstaging you? Cute.

Re: text | j.valentine

[anotheroldfashioned]

Disney. I meant Disney.

I mean Mickey is great. I actually enjoy him but I feel great. That band is really inspiring. And if this is some kind of illusion it's a hell of a lot better then me growing wings and murdering people.

Don, are you drunk

Re: text : luckedout

[anotheroldfashioned]

No. Shockingly. I feel great without a fucking drink. But I'd expect it. And how dare you. He's a mouse.

Are you quite sure that's not a cult?

Re: un: undyingsoul

[anotheroldfashioned]

...I mean some churches might disagree. What makes you say cult?

Not bad. Just trying to figure out how it works. All this stuff is a bit new.

you know the king/

[ He's probably missed a good portion of the rest of this post since that first part really stood out. He's never been as close to the King as Sora and the others, but it's still weird to hear someone he doesn't know talk about him. ]

YASSSSSS.

[anotheroldfashioned]

...Who? What King?

[Oh poor Sora. This is about to break your brain.]

You mean Disney? Some people call him Hollywood's King. And no I don't. Disney's not letting outside agencies take contracts for their work.


[booooooo. Someone is bitter.]
