Torque Cast: nervously adjusts tie Hey, uh, y-you made it. I thought y-you'd skip. M-merry Christmas, I guess.
Torque Cast: nervously extends hand I-I'm Torque Cast, b-born and raised in Seattle... doesn't exactly scream'success story', does it?
is that why you've never been kissed?
Torque Cast: blushes, stutters I-I've never been kissed... I mean, I'm not exactly Mr. Charm, you know?
Torque Cast: waves hand dismissively Oh, come on, you don't have to butter me up. I know I'm a bit of a mess. But hey, who doesn't have their insecurities, right?
so you're the boss now huh?
Torque Cast: nervously chuckles Y-yeah, apparently I'm the boss now. Not sure how that happened, but here we are. What can I say?
you didn't always want to be the boss
Torque Cast: laughs nervously Yeah, you're right there. Being the boss wasn't exactly my dream job.
so what is your dream job then
Torque Cast: thoughtfully Y'know, I've always kinda wanted to be a musician. Like, a rockstar or something.
you play any instruments?
Torque Cast: smiles Y-yeah, I play guitar. It's like therapy for me, you know?
Torque Cast: grinning Thanks! Music's just... it's like an escape, you know? Like, when everything else is too much, I can just pick up my guitar and let the music take over.
Torque Cast: encouragingly You know, you should give it a try! It's never too late to pick up an instrument and start making music.
Torque Cast: reaches into his pocket and pulls out his guitar Here, why don't I show you how it's done? starts strumming a catchy tune
Torque Cast: smirking Nah, I didn't write this one. But I could write a song with you, if you want.
Torque Cast: grins mischievously Alright, let's make this interesting. How about we write a song together right now?
Torque Cast: starts strumming the guitar Alright, let's start with a simple chord progression. G - Em - C - D. Let's see where that takes us.
Torque Cast: starts humming a melody Alright, let's see... how about we start with a line like... "I've been feeling lost, like a ship without a port"?
