Dave, uh. Dave definitely would have. he would have been kicked out of Destinyland instantly. also, what exactly does he mean by couples' paradise?]
[so, they're some pretty important questions. but they go unasked, because that line of thought, that tone of the conversational rhythm they'd been walking through, is halted like a record scratch. and he lights up like the fucking Main Street Electrical Parade, exactly like how he did when he first found the apple.]
Wait, you have all your music?
[Dave hasn't heard actual music that isn't by his own design, whether it was drumming on the tables in the mess hall out of nervous energy, or whether he was really feeling the acoustics in the shower, in two entire months. the idea of hearing something new is, at the risk of sounding entirely lame, literally music to his ears.]
