[ And now we open up to Steve walking through the city. Naturally music is going to start laying because this is just how the community is working this week. This might be a little familiar to people--. With some tweaks. Everyone in italics is not Steve. ]

Oh this town. Not a quiet village...
Never a day, like the one before. Busy town! Full of busy people...
Waking up to say-

[ The busy people of New York are shuffling around him. Bumping into people. Texting. Ads all over. Yeah. ] Buy more! / Buy more! / This door- UGH! / Fuck this store! / Move outta the way, asshole!

There was this baker I would buy at always.... [ He holds his nose ] Now there's this artificial smell. Every morning not the same. Since the morning that I came, to this confusing future town.

[ He stops and tilts his head at a window, reading the sign. A regular guy is leaning on the edge of it ] Good morning, bro. [ Steve blinks and smiles a bit ] Good morning.... bro. [ The guy gives him a little nod ] How you doing today?

You know, you're the first person to actually strike up a conversation with me. I was starting to think nobody would look up from a pho..ne.. [ Guess what? The guy took out his phone and is texting. 'Uh-huh' he says. ] ....Nevermind.

[ He settles himself outside a cafe and starts drawing a certain building. And oh what? Everyone else sitting at the tables around him just broke into the song. What is this, Enchanted? ] Look there he goes that guy is strange, no question. That 40s mindset's so naive! Sticks out in any crowd. And he thinks my music's way too loud. No denying he's a funny guy that Steeeeve!

[ He picks his head up and they all seem to go back to random conversation: ] You whore! / Hey babe. / 5 dollar footlong! / Fer sure- / Whatever. / Try the nightlife. / I got six phones. / That's too expensive.

There must be something to this future life!

[ And just then the waitress comes over for the following conversation: ] Waiting on the big guy?
Ma'am?
Iron Man. A lot of people wait here just to see him fly by.
[ he glances up ] Right... Maybe another time.
The table's here as long as you'd like. Nobody's waiting on it. We also have free wireless. [ She heads off. ]
...Radio?
Ask for her number ya moron. [ -Was that last guy Stan Lee? :| ]

[ He moves on from the diner and-- Oh the street vendors are singing as he passes them. ] Look there he goes that guy is so peculiar! My he's got a lot to grieve. With a classic vintage look. Not an ipad but a book! We're a puzzle, all the rest of us to Steve

[ And now he's got his head tilted back, reading a billboard ] Oh, isn't this ...confusing. A movie remake because-- I don't see
Nothing's a familiar setting.
When you pay 6.50 for a cup of coff~~ee...

[ He heads into a store- confusingly trying to figure out what something is while two girls sing behind him ] Now it's a wonder noone dates that booty. It's such a hard thing to believe! He doesn't like it when I flirt. [ says one. ] 'Cause you're a slut in that skirt. [ says the other and slaps her in the head. Then everyone else in that store ]

Very diff'rent from the rest of us! He's nothing like the rest of us! Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Steve!

[ And leaving there. Oh wait. What's this? A stalker? It's that waitress again. What the hell- ] Right from the moment when I met him, saw him! I wanted to latch on to his sleeve... But there's someone that's not me. That he'd really like to see. It's a shame nobody here can nab that Steve

[ And here's some girls in Iron Man t-shirts having their own Tony Stark spaz-out while pointing at the sky ] Now there he goes. -Isn't he dreamy? My boo - So hot. Oh damn he's fine! Be still my heart~ I'm hardly breathing! That Iron Man I want to make him mine!

[ Into the subway we go. Here's the singing people: ] Nu-uh / Oh-em-gee. / Good day./ What's good? / Want that with bacon? / Yo hide yo kids. / And cheese. / Two bars!? / More bacon! / I'll get the knife. / I'd bang Pepper Potts.

How does one live when everything is new!
--Hey Stevie would you like to go fonduuuue?
...What?

[ After boarding the train and sitting there quietly and looking out the window. The cellphone carrying people all look up and- ]

Look there he goes.
That guy is strange but special!
The future's a hard thing to perceive!
It's a pity and a sin
That he doesn't quite fit in
'Cause he really is strange old guy
A hottie but a funny guy
Yeah he really is a funny guy
That Steeeeeeeeeveeee!

[ He pauses and quietly looks around the train. They're all staring back at their phones. ] ...Okay.

Uh huh, I know what it means when you say it now though.

You're probably making it sound worse than it is.

Edited 2012-09-02 02:41 (UTC)

Am not, Battler told me exactly what it meant. Pervert.

I'm not a pervert. I'm pretty sure it's being exaggerated here...

I don't think it is, I think all guys secretly are thinking about the same thing.

I consider it more of a catch-all type of meaning and not specifically that but anything you might do prior to that?

Funny, my source says it meant that and not the stuff before that.

It's not that...

Edited 2012-09-02 03:22 (UTC)

You denied it was that when I asked if you meant one of the things that would come before that before!

You know I think I feel a song coming on- Maybe we should figure that out later.

Uh huh, you'd better sing if you want to get out of this.

Hi-ho hi-ho it's off to work we go...

Isn't most of that song whistling?

...that's why I picked it.

That's cheating! You should pull up something modern on your phone and-- [ Definitively. ] And rap.

I don't have one of those phones- ...And what? Rap? I'm not doing that.

Relax, it was a joke. I'd offer you some music from my world to sing, but I don't think you speak Japanese.

I speak some...

Enough to understand songs?

I don't know. I've never tried to understand a song.

Probably not.

I'm sure Yui would be ecstatic if I asked GirlDeMo to make a tape for you. [ That's right, a cassette. She's not sure when they came out, but it's a lot older than the recent years so maybe he knows what one is!! Yuri should've paid better attention in history, but she's trying. ]

A recording of them, you mean? [ he got the general idea even if he has no idea what cassette tapes are... ]

Edited 2012-09-02 05:06 (UTC)

Yeah! Guess tapes weren't around then.. What did you guys usually have recorded music on?

Records?

Someone here might know how to make those, don't worry. [ She jokes about Steve or Battler being old sometimes, but the people in her afterlife aren't even from the same times. ] Check some vintage shops, they might have some record players.
