( OOC: example of samatoki rapping/singing a bit in a solo song and rapping with his division. )

I need some music therapy.

( Samatoki has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth; he lights it and pulls it out after an inhale. He had a conversation that sparked some thinking.

Even though he was kidding about the rap battle thing, he thinks having some kind of show or gathering of musicians might be nice. )

I used to rap with my division back in Yokohama. Part of it was survival and necessity, but part of it was just dope to do with my homies. Miss it.

( He takes another drag. )

I can sing too, if there's anyone who doesn't vibe with rap as much. I just wanna jam. Don't know if there's anyone out there much inclined like that, but I wanted to put the call out there either way.

Anyway, hit me back if you wanna jam.

We'll figure it out.
I hear you can play acoustic bass, too?
Or, like. I could learn to play guitar, I fuckin' guess.

[deathrespect]

It's all strings, you'll figure it out.

[hauntedsavior]

Damn right I will.
Gonna get some real Flobots shit going on with you.
Or, uh. Daveed Diggs? Gambino?
Shit, dude, I know so little about rap. Unless it's, like, nu-metal.

That might be even more embarrassing to admit.

[deathrespect]

Pfft. I listened to a little western rap but it's older or weird shit. I don't think I even know any nu-metal unless it's Maximum the Hormone, hah.

[hauntedsavior]

MTH did what, the, uh. Hold on one sec.

[she fantasy googles the name of the band and barks out a laugh on her end.]

Holy shit, dude. Excellent taste.
God, I never got half as into J-metal as I should've. Mostly just knew Galneryus for a little bit.
Lots of squeedily meedily stuff.
I could try to learn some of those for you if you want. You bust a few tight bars and I celebrate by losing my mind on keys for 45 seconds.

[deathrespect]

Dude. I'd lose my mind if you learned Bu-ikikaesu haha. Lots of. What do they call that shit, slap and pop? Way beyond me.

[hauntedsavior]

God, yeah, slap bass shit. Would love to pull that kind of thing off.
I don't have to worry about messing my hands up, at least. It's wild as shit what people can do with it, though.
Iunno. I'll figure something out. You just raise the flag when you're ready and I'll show up with bells on.

Not actually with bells on.

Maybe with bells on?

[deathrespect]

I mean ... If you don't have to worry about messing up your hands, why not speedrun learning slap bass?

Bells welcome, hah.
