[ Just audio this time you don't need to see her face, but it sort of sounds like Marina's shuffling around on a bed - in fact she's laying on her side - and her voice sounds kinda bored. ]

...sooo I know it's probably bad of me to like... ask about this when it's a personal, spiritual responsibility and all...

[ Followed by a dissatisfied hum. ]

I've always been bad at picking what to give up for Lent though. It's been a TV show three years in a row now, and I can't just do soda or ice cream like some people. I could, but my parents know that I'm not a big soda drinker, and I eat well and sure, getting my parents off my back isn't what this is for, but getting shit from them about it sucks. Doing the same thing this many times would feel like a cop out to them... hell, to me and God and whoever else too.

Anyone else have this problem? Just me?

No one that I've seen. I guess those names are all Japanese or something.

[espigeonage]

Sounds like. "Hikaru" means "light". Or was it Hikari? It's been a long time since Japanese class.

[dragon_blossom]

I don't know anything about any of our names, just that they sound Japanese.

...hopefully I don't literally turn Japanese.

[espigeonage]

You know what I have to do now, right?

[He launches into "Turning Japanese" and sings a few lyrics, managing the guitar too. Julien's voice is weird.]

[dragon_blossom]

No! No, that is why I don't...

Stoooop!

[espigeonage]

Everyone around me is a to-tal stranger, everyone avoids me like a cy-clone ranger, whoooooaooooh...

[He fakes a burst of laughter.] Aaah, Marina, c'mon, I had to.

[dragon_blossom]

Uuugh.

[ You are the worst. ]

You really didn't, just imagine if it actually happens! I won't be able to escape!

[espigeonage]

So I'm helping! Boy Scout motto, you know - be prepared.

[dragon_blossom]

But I will never be prepared enough to not hate it.

[espigeonage]

That's all right. You don't have to like it.

[dragon_blossom]

If I don't, I'm honor bound to tell people off over it.

[espigeonage]

And they will pity you, or not.

[dragon_blossom]

And if they don't I tell 'em to screw off.

[espigeonage]

There ya go. Don't let the world cow you.

[dragon_blossom]

I have yet to let it get me down that much.
