Rock Band Party, Tuesday Evening, First Floor Rec Room

[glacial_queen]

Karla and Warren had celebrated their return to their proper forms in the way that many teenagers would find appropriate: they'd headed back to the modern mainland, found a toy store, and bought a gaming system (or three). Along with the games they bought to go along with said system, they also picked up a few guitars, a keyboard, a drum set, and two microphones.

Once back in the rec room, the rest of the afternoon had been spent setting up the systems and buying every single song available for the game. Waiting for them to finish downloading actually took longer than the initial setting up, even taking in Karla's attempts to 'help'.

But now the system was set up, the songs were ready, and the instruments prepared.

Fandom High? Get ready to rock.

"... I guess," Marshall admitted. "That sounds reasonable, anyway."

[wwiii]

Warren shrugged.

"It's like anything else out there. There's a budget to work with, and they've got to cut corners wherever they can, or they won't make it."

This, at least, was spoken from a businessman's point of view. That was far more Warren's speed.

"I guess," Marshall admitted. "I dunno, it seems weirder to me that it would be more expensive to use something already recorded than it would to pay people to record a new version, but I guess I don't know very much about that side of the industry."

[wwiii]

"Well, when you stop and think about who it is that you're paying... Bowie can't possibly be as cheap as some no-names who want a quick buck, in a recording studio that the place probably already has. I mean, music is kind of a common thing that all games have, right?"

Warren and calm, cool logic, once again.

"... True." Hmm. That made a lot of sense, actually.

"I wonder if there are any studios on the mainland looking for musicians?" Marshall paused. "... The normal mainland. Not, like, Regency London."

[wwiii]

"Game studios? You never know," Warren mused. "I bet they post job openings online, though. Pretty much everybody does, these days."

"I'll have to check it out. Could be a good way to make some money." Marshall grinned. "After all, I've got university to think about next year."

And, hey, maybe if he gets a job away from the island, he won't a) give the school a cold or b) end up speaking absolute gibberish.

"Oh, don't remind me about graduation in a year," Warren nearly groaned. "I've been filling out applications to Harvard and Yale and pretty much every other Ivy League school out there, and I don't know if I have it in me to put a stamp on each envelope and actually mail them out."

He doubted that Harvard would be half as open-minded about his wings as Fandom was.
