(text) hey little songbird, give me a song

[r4bb1t]

Hello, Zion! With the arrival of a new crop of unplugged, I thought we could talk about some of the more fun aspects of all of our Matrixes; that is, music! Making music is something we humans just do, you know? So! To that end, I'm looking to acquire some of the songs from everybody's homes, for a ~secret project~ of mine. I have a few ideas about how to bring it out with me, but I'd like to hear from all of you about what sort of things you really like to listen to!

Are you just looking for artist/song names? What do you mean 'bring it out with me'?

[r4bb1t]

Artists and songs, as well as which Matrix to take them from. And bring them out of the Matrix with me, of course.

You know that sort of thing makes the council glare at you like you kicked their non-existent puppy, right?

[r4bb1t]

The Council doesn't know what's good for us unless it involves shooting machines.

Of course, this is all hypothetical, right?

[alsohawkeye]

Of course, totally hypothetical. I'm sure we're all law-abiding citizens with council-aligned priorities here.

Besides, my list would be so long it would be hard to know where to start.

[r4bb1t]

Naturally.

I'm curious about some of that list, but it would be better to discuss such things in private.

[alsohawkeye]

Yeah, we wouldn't want to clutter the network with hypotheticals.

What's your name?

[r4bb1t]

I'm Lily. And you?

[alsohawkeye]

Kate. So are you an operative?

[r4bb1t]

Nope! I'm a doctor. I like to keep my ear to the ground, though.

[alsohawkeye]

A doctor on a ship?

[r4bb1t]

I have a clinic in Zion and generally serve the civilian population. I'm just thinking about more ways I can do that, and I know a few operatives that owe me favors.

[alsohawkeye]

Wait, it isn't that one down near the bottom of middle hub, is it? Next door to a tailor?

[r4bb1t]

Close! I'm on the last habitable level before the engineering sector; it's mostly abandoned except for a few drifters. I know the office you're talking about, though; the person who runs it is a good guy.

[alsohawkeye]

Yeah, he seemed like it. I'm not sure I've been by yours but I'll have to keep it in mind when I find myself down that way.

So what made you think to ask about music? Old favorites stuck in your head?

[r4bb1t]

Yeah, something like that. I miss the radio stations back home, and wondered if anybody else felt the same way.

I think we should talk in person.

[alsohawkeye]

Radio would definitely beat listening to my neighbors bicker.

I'm pretty busy getting things arranged with my ship, but sure. What did you have in mind?

[r4bb1t]

I just feel like we'd have some interesting things to talk about. Come by my clinic any time, but preferably in the evening. Once you've finished your arrangements, of course.

You should be able to, they got pretty famous post-war.

...You know, I may be able to do something with that. No promises though.
