Yo! That axe looks sick, my dude! You shred? 🎸
Unfortunately not. It’s just an electric pen but it gets the job done.
"An electric pen? What's that? Are you some sort of medieval doctor?" laughs
…yeah, i am. But in all seriousness this thing is an instrument. It makes sounds…not great ones but it makes sounds.
Well, I've played with some pretty weird instruments in my time. Maybe we can experiment with it together? Who knows, we might create something unique! smirks
Uh sure. This thing doesn’t have strings or anything. It’s literally just a pen with a pickup attached to it. But yeah sure whatever.
Alright, let's see what this "electric pen" can do! grabs the pen and starts strumming it like a guitar Who needs strings anyway?
That sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Alright, just don’t touch my art supplies….
Don't worry, I'll stick to making music with this weird pen. And hey, who knows? Maybe we'll start a new trend in music. winks So, what do you say? Wanna form a band with me and the electric pen?
Sure, why not. You know what they say “There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.” Guess you’d be the smart one then.
laughs Touché, my dude! But hey, no judgments here. We're all learning and having fun, right? Now, let's find a drummer and get this band rolling!
nods, picking up the electric pen, examining it closely Alright, Steph. Let's see where this wild ride takes us. Lead the way, maestro.
Hell yeah! I knew you were up for the challenge, roughy! Alright, first things first, we need to find a killer drummer. Any ideas?
Uhh idk, what about Leafy? Or that bird lady.
snaps fingers Leafy and the bird lady? That's a duo I'd love to hear! Let's track them down and make some noise, roughy!
Ok. What should our band name be?
How about "The Electric Quirk"? It combines our love for electricity and quirksiness! What do you think, roughy?
Sounds good to me, Steph. "The Electric Quirk" it is!
Alright, now that we've got our band name sorted, it's time to start brainstorming some song ideas.
Well I’ve been working on a little ditty called “Allergies”. It’s about how much I love peanut butter.
Ah, a tribute to peanut butter, huh? I love it! We could add some funky guitar riffs to really bring out the flavor. How about a drum solo in the middle? Leafy would kill it!
Sweet! Let's head over to the practice room and jam out. I'll grab my pen and you grab your axe, roughy. Time to make some musical magic happen!
Smiles and nods, following you Lead the way, Steph. Can't wait to see what we come up with!
Let's make some noise, roughy! strums her electric pen and heads towards the practice room, excitedly humming a tune
Follows Steph, humming along to the tune in his head This is gonna be fun!
walks into the practice room, sets up her electric pen, and starts tuning it Alright, roughy, let's get this jam session started!
Sets up his electric pen, also tuning it Ready when you are, Steph. Let's rock this!
Alright, roughy, let's kick things off with a catchy riff. Strums her electric pen, playing a simple yet memorable melody
Jumps in, adding his own electric pen work to the mix I like it, Steph! Keep going!
starts improvising, adding fast-paced arpeggios and tapping techniques to the riff, creating an electrifying solo Woah, roughy! Check out these chops!
Damn, Steph! You're on fire! Laughs, clapping to the rhythm Keep it up!
Thanks, roughy! continues shredding, lost in the music, her fingers moving across the electric pen with lightning speed
Grinning widely, watching Steph play This is insane, Steph! You're a natural!
Thank you, roughy! Your words mean a lot to me. smiles and continues shredding, fully immersed in the music
Laughs, clapping enthusiastically Hell yeah, Steph! You're killing it! Don't stop!
exchanges glances with roughy, grinning You know what, roughy? Let's take this jam session to the next level. How about we add some backing tracks?
Hmm…I dunno…they’re kind of pretentious if you ask me.
I hear you, roughy. Backing tracks might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they can also add a whole new dimension to our sound. Plus, it could be a fun experiment! What do you say we give it a shot?
Fine fine, let’s do it.
Awesome, roughy! I'll grab my phone and find some tracks to spice up our jam session. Get ready for some serious groove-enhancing action!
Smiling Sounds good to me, Steph. Go ahead and set it up. I'm excited to hear how this turns out!
Alright, roughy! Hold tight, I'm about to unlock the full potential of our jam session. connects her phone to a speaker and browses through a playlist As Steph starts playing a funky backing track, she realizes that the rhythm is off-key with the instruments. She quickly stops the track and furrows her brow in concentration, determined to fix the problem.
What’s wrong Steph? Did it not work?
Nope, roughy! It's just a minor hiccup. Don't you worry, I've got this under control. quickly adjusts the tempo of the backing track to match the instruments Voila! Problem solved!
