David Bowie?

The same.

Are you a fan? What am I saying, of course you are. Everybody loves fucking David Bowie.

I have a hits cd. I like some of his music. *nod*

Yes, well, I ran into him before he was so fabulously popular. Partied with him, advised him to get serious about his plunking away on his guitar. And did I think to sign him to a contract? No, I did not.

The world will end on a sigh of regret.

Is that original? It sounds like a pretentious literary quote. I don't do well with writers. Always getting the facts wrong.

*confused*

I just said it I guess it's original.

*shrug*

T.S Elliot said the world wouldn't go out with a bang or something. That it would end with a whimper... I'm not the best with direct quotes, but I've been around awhile so I've heard a lot of different things.

Perhaps the world will. I fully intend to go out with fireworks. If I ever have to go, anyways.

Which would you prefer? Fading away, pining with regrets? Or one last glorious Boom?

There is a song lyric; It's better to burn out than to fade away?

~~Apparently Neil Young was never a vampire.~~

I don't like the thought of burning out. I'd rather eternally sleep and know nothing than burn with fire but if I could go out in a violent fight? I'd chose a warrior's death whether it be sudden and painful or slow and painful. It's all painful to varying degrees, but keeping pride intact is important. Like you said Glorious.

Oh, dear. Well, that was a poor choice. Don't feel bad. I got offered some stock on this funny IPO called Microsoft by a geeky little guy. Who would have thought he would end up the richest man in the world.

Truer words.

Ah well. Not my nature to linger over past mistakes. Nor yours either, I imagine.

S'my favorite knife.

Ah, I was referring to the singer, actually. But yes, it is a very nice knife too. I'm fond of sharp objects.

Oh. Th' singer's okay, too. I liked 'im as Ziggy.

Didn't we all? ~~I liked him in bed.~~

Ouch.

I know. Not quite my worst mistake, but certainly in the running.

*bows* Have we met? I'm sure I'd remember such a lovely face.

What's the worst mistake?

Hmmm, don't think so. I'm sure I'd remember such a line. Still, I'm sure it's a pleasure. I'm Poppy. And the bow was a nice touch.

*laughs merrily* Oh, my dear, we'd be here til the stars popped if I were to list and judge them all.

Do you think so? Good, I've been doubting my touch lately. I'm British though, really can't help it. Old habits die hard. Oh yes, I'm Robin.

What do you do, Poppy?

How very intriguing.

Oh, I'm sure it works on scores of girl. I find the Brit-schtick always goes down well, doesn't it?

I'm in a band. I also dabble in a few other artistic pursuits. You know, general avoidance of actual work.

I'm not as ~~young and~~ innocent as I look. *grins cheekily*

Last one I tried it on pulled my hair. And kicked me. Tch.

....a band, you say? *perks up substantially* I like bands. Always on the lookie for the Next Big Thing. Think you're it?

Darling, I understand the work ethic completely.

Who is? *smiles*

That's just mean. I hope someone made her go and sit in the corner.

The Stiff Richeys. Rock with a few punk undertones. As for being the Next Big Thing, New York's little scene of the undiscovered, and some of England's, would probably agree. I suppose whether or not we have the goods would be for you to decide.

Though I should make the obligatory statement of being in a band is hard work, woe is me for doing something I care about.

I might have suggested it, had she also not been threatening to carve my heart out.

Mmm. Rock-slash-punk. Well, that never really goes out of style, does it...? Stiff Richeys. *jots it down in his Blackberry* Got a demo disc you can pop on over to me? Or a schedule of performances?

This is why I only ever produce, anymore.

Did she seem the type to go through with it?

Of course. I'll send our stuff your way. Here's to hoping you enjoy on its artistic merit... And how open to bribery are you?

She's a doctor. It's never a good idea to get on their bad sides. They have rubber gloves and cold instruments and all manner of unpleasant things to do with them.

*bright smile* Not a bit, of course. I am a businessman of integrity and responsibility and standards ~~and what exactly did you have in mind to offer?~~.
