Yo, dude, mind if I crash here? had a bad nightmare…
Listen, it was like this huge, swirling void and there was this kid, screaming for their mommy because they couldn't find them. And then I realised that I WAS the mommy.
Great just great... a horror movie in my head and now yours too...
Yeah, sorry for subjecting you to my subconscious trauma. Guess we're both gonna have nightmares tonight. At least now you can join me in my misery.
start playing the bass well I can think of a better way to deal with those nightmares...
Oh yeah? And how do you propose we deal with these nightmares? A good old fashioned jam session perhaps? Let me grab my guitar.
I nod you have no idea how much I need this...
Alright then, let's get this jam session started. strums guitar Come on, let's make some noise and drown out those nightmares.
I smile and start playing the bass along with you, 3 hours later we finished our jam session
That was actually really therapeutic, thank you for joining me in this impromptu jam session. You always know how to make me feel better. hugs Steinfort
you welcome and I always love spending time with you and as an extra reward I won't nag you to do your homework tonight...
Homework? What's that? I'm a professional at avoiding it, so you don't have to worry about nagging me.
See! This is why we are best friends...
Yeah, we've got each other's backs, through nightmares and all. Best friends forever, am I right? raises fist for a bump
I raise my fist and bump you Best friends forever...
smirks Yeah, but remember, Steinfort, if the apocalypse comes, you're taking the bass and I'm taking the guitar. No sharing.
With pleasure but remember, If the apocalypse comes, I'll take everything I want and you'll take nothing.
Oh, is that a challenge? You underestimate my ability to negotiate with a pretty little smile and a twinkle in my eye.
grinning widely Well, then, bring on the negotiations, sweetheart. But remember, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too.
Tricks, huh? Alright then, let's see what you've got. I'm ready to negotiate my way into getting that bass.
Oh, it's not about what you're ready to negotiate, darling. It's about what you're willing to give up. So, spill it, Raven. What's your price?
Oh, you want me to spill it, huh? Well, brace yourself, Steinfort, because my price is high. How about you give me your secret recipe for your famous chocolate chip cookies?
What?! laughing My secret recipe?! You drive a hard bargain, Raven. But alright, deal. Just remember, you asked for it.
Challenge accepted! grabs Steinfort's notebook and flips through the pages Ah, here it is! The secret recipe for the legendary chocolate chip cookies. rips the page out and pockets it triumphantly Now, hand over the bass, my dear Steinfort, and let's rock this apocalypse together.
smiling mischievously You've got yourself a deal, Raven. But remember, you're going to owe me big time for this.
Oh, don't worry, Steinfort. I always pay my debts. Now, let's make some beautiful music and conquer this apocalypse together.
See you later, Raven. walks off
Wait! Before you go, can you teach me one of your famous bass riffs? I want to impress everyone in the post-apocalyptic band.
How about I teach you 2 bass riffs at the same time?
Two bass riffs? Are you sure you can handle that, Steinfort? Alright, challenge accepted. Teach me your finest bass riffs and let's show the world what we're made of.
Alright then, first riff is Smoke On The Water and second riff is Sunburst. Ready? Here we go! starts teaching riffs
eagerly picks up the bass and starts practicing the riffs Alright, let's do this! Smoke on the Water and Sunburst, here I come!
watches her intently, nodding approvingly Good, Raven. Keep it up! Those riffs won't play themselves.
determined, Raven practices the bass riffs tirelessly, dedication etched on her face. Hours pass by, sweat drips down her forehead, but she refuses to give up. Finally, after countless attempts, she masters both riffs, her fingers moving with precision and confidence. Yes! I did it! I can't believe I learned these riffs! Thank you, Steinfort!
Grinning widely Congratulations, Raven! You've earned it. Now, let's rock this apocalypse together!
Hey, Steinfort, you know what would be fun? Let's write a song about surviving the apocalypse. We could call it "Rocking the End Times". What do you say?
Grinning Sure, why not? Let's give the end times a taste of our music. "Rocking the End Times" it is.
pulls out her notebook and starts jotting down lyrics and chord progressions Alright, let's start brainstorming. We need a catchy opening line and a killer chorus. Any ideas, Steinfort?
Hmm, how about this? "In a world gone mad, we'll play our instruments". Chorus could be "We'll rock the end times, together till the end". Thoughts?
pauses, pondering the suggestion, then nods approvingly Yeah, I like that! "In a world gone mad, we'll play our instruments" - it captures our spirit perfectly. And the chorus, "We'll rock the end times, together till the end", has a great ring to it. This song is shaping up to be an anthem for our times. Keep those ideas coming, Steinfort!
nodding Good choice, Raven. Now, onto the next part - the verses. How about this? "Nothing left but dust and ash / In this endless wasteland we clash". Thoughts?
scribbles down the lyrics and chord progression Ooh, I love that imagery, Steinfort!
Smiling Glad you like it, Raven. And here's another line for the verse - "The sky is black, the earth is cold / A grave new world, we're yet untold". What do you think?
nods enthusiastically I really like the way you paint the picture with those words, Steinfort. The imagery is vivid and haunting, just like the apocalypse we're living in.
Grins Alright, Raven. Let's put it all together. "In a world gone mad, we'll play our instruments. Nothing left but dust and ash / In this endless wasteland we clash. The sky is black, the earth is cold / A grave new world, we're yet untold. We'll rock the end times, together till the end". Sounds good to me.
claps her hands excitedly Hell yeah, that sounds fucking awesome, Steinfort! We've got ourselves a badass apocalypse anthem on our hands.
