WEIRD PEOPLE

Both. 

Because I was tired of hearing about it all summer. 

Wow, after you guys choked in the first weekend I was really thinking we had it in the bag. But you crushed us fair and square, so I guess I can’t be too mad. The best band won, but don’t think this is the end of The Zappers. 

Yeah, well, not everything can be so harmonious between a band all the time. Hence the choking. You guys were good competitors, there’s no doubt about it. I’m not one of those this town isn’t big enough for the both of us people, so I hope it wouldn’t be the end. After all, we could always use an opener. 

Kristina: Wow, a whole EP. You guys sure haven't wasted any time.

Kristina: Ex-friends, which might just be more reason to vote for you. All right, fine. It's not like my cousin and her kiddie instruments are actually more interesting than you, you can count me in.

Mack: Why would we? The world needs to hear our music. We wouldn't just waste it on Walt.

Gerti: Pandering is beneath us. We are ARTISTS, artists don't cheapen themselves by doing whatever "the masses" find the most appealing. We do the OPPOSITE!

Kristina: Oops? Was not aware that I was supposed to.

Kristina: Have you actually recorded anything, or is it all just live performances?

Mack: We're on SoundCloud! You can check out our newest EP there.

Sunny’s brows shot up at the sound of skepticism in Mack’s voice when he asked if it was going to be just the two of them. “Well, she said she just wasn’t vibing with the night which is like so weird but so Gerti, you know?” She chuckled, an attempt to shake off her nerves. She led Mack into the cottage and sat on the couch, patting the seat next to her to invite him to join her as she geared up the DVR. “Yeah, I love scary movies! Not just because I’m such final girl material, but because I love the adrenaline I guess. How about you? I bet you’re really into scary movies, Mr. Darkness” she teased, giving Mack a nudge with her shoulder. 

“Ah, yes,” Mack laughed a little, “Vibing.” He shrugged off his jacket and draped it on the couch behind him. Gerti was a weird one, alright. Actually, so was Sunny. He’d never heard anyone describe themselves as ‘final girl material’ and probably never would again in his lifetime. She wasn’t wrong, though. She seemed like the type to make it halfway through the movie sane before losing her mind and setting out to kill all the bad guys. “Yeah, I like scary movies, but I like ones from the 80′s the best. Nightmare on Elm Street? The Shining? Gremlins? You can’t get better than that.” When Sunny nudged him with her shoulder, he froze. She didn’t think they were close enough to do that yet, did she? Yikes. Better make a barrier. He gave a polite smile and acted like he was adjusting himself on the couch, pulling the pillow out from behind his back like it was bothering him and set it between them as nonchalantly as he could. “Did you see Hereditary?” He asked, clearing his throat a little. 

Mack: I love you to the moon and back

Mack: I hate you

Wow, look at my brother finally getting at my level! Maybe I should start a band and get all the ladies in my DMs, then I could feel way less lame and married to my stupid ball and chain. Do not drop off the face of the planet, though. This is a blessing! Get laid for once in your sad, hipster life. 

That’s on you, I feel like. No one said you and Ned like have to be attached at the hip.In fact. I’m pretty sure everyone would prefer it if you weren’t! If I get laid, it’s not gonna be through someone that DMed me on Insta, that just feels sleazy. 

Look at you! Taking that sudden fame of yours with stride like you’re the next Hozier. Just send pictures of ducks to all the thirsty people flooding your DMs and then tweet about how cereal bars are gross and all is well! And do it before you actually do become the next Hozier and start living in a hollow of a tree somewhere in the woods, please. 

There will be no next Hozier, that dude is one of a kind. Would tweeting about cereal bars...offend people? Do people still eat cereal bars?
