I tried, but --

[But it turned out survival was nearly a full time job by itself, and once he'd taken up keeping the census at the same time....]

Oh, uh. Not a priority, but...if you happen to come across any music....

[termineur]

Send it your way?

[ He remembers Stephen singing with House in the cells. Music isn't as important to him as books, but it was sure nice to have during that hard time. ]

You got it. And yeah, it's pretty hard to stay on top of what's happened when this town seems so intent to shake us like a snowglobe every time we get settled.

[thewarningafter]

I'd appreciate it, yeah. I've kind of got a collection going -- if you want I'll send you the link to what I've already got.

[No comment re: snowglobe.]

[termineur]

[ Honestly? He regretted the snowglobe comment the moment he said it, so it's good Stephen's not pursuing it. ]

Oh yeah? I'd like that- sometimes a shed with a bunch of butcher hooks just really needs some music to liven it up. Or make us forget a bit that we're in a shed with hooks in the ceiling, anyway.

[thewarningafter]

I'd ask why this town needed one of those, but I'm afraid I already know the answer. Just maybe watch your head if you decide to start dancing.

[He sends over a link titled [playlist]]

[termineur]

Yeah, I'd rather not think about it too hard, either. Especially since it's in the new residential area?

[ If it'd been in the industrial area, he would've rolled with it, but close to the high school? Yeah, let's do that not-thinking-about-it thing. He looks over the playlist and whistles. ]

Okay, you weren't kidding about collecting music. Thanks. Wonder if I could pester House for some classical sometime- not that I'm complaining about any music. What is 'eggy sounding thing'?

[ He starts it up and instantly regrets it, turning it off after about ten seconds. ]

My question stands.

[thewarningafter]

[Stephen holds off on explaining; there's a brief chuckle from his end.]

Davesprite's an artist ahead of his time.

[termineur]

[ Gabriel chuckles, too- he's clearly doing better than he had been. In a few hours, he'll realize that talking over his concerns with Stephen really helped. ]

Clearly ahead of my time. Why am I not surprised it was Davesprite who put that together?

Okay, okay, I'm all set, I think. Thanks for pointing me another direction. I'll let you know if the mania changes at all.

[thewarningafter]

Please do, yeah. Or if anything else changes that gives you concern.

[It makes him feel useful He wants to help.]

[termineur]

[ He knows both of those things are true. And since Gabriel frequently needs help, he'll totally take it. ]

Sure. Stay warm, Stephen.

[thewarningafter]

You, too.
