[ there's music coming from one corner of the Quad; it's not so loud that it's overly intrusive, but it is noticeable, to anyone passing by. At the source of the sound sits Luka, legs crossed as she scribbles down a mixture of musical symbols and binary code. While she doesn't have any sort of music player on her person, the sound is definitely coming from her. It's not one set tune or song, and it changes entirely every few seconds, interjected with short bursts of static. All the while, Luka half-hums, half-sings under her breath ]

… I wanna rip and release your throat right now, I want to make you all mine... ♪ [ she pauses, and taps her pen against her lower lip, muttering to herself ] I probably ought to stop writing songs like that. [ with a sigh, she changes her tone, continuing to make notes on the sheet of paper set out in front of her ] ♫ Japanese ninja number one, we go creeping into the girls' locker room...

[Given the sunshine, there is Quite A Lot Of It to hand.]

Uwah, I never figured Luka for a troublemaker at heart. Are you reaching your wild college years?!

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

It's best to get it out of my system before I turn two, don't you think?

[vocaloidiot]

... just please ignore any and all Lessons Meiko might attempt to teach.

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

Admittedly, I am a little curious. Do you expect that alcohol would have the same effect on me?

[vocaloidiot]

Well, I don't see why not! I've had the odd drink myself, it's just not as much my favorite as it is hers. Unless they took out that kind of metabolism process in your model, but that'd be really boring.

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they realised it was a fault in the design...

[vocaloidiot]

That can't be! How else am I ever going to find out what happens when you get Miku tipsy? Science must know!

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

I doubt even alcohol could make her upbeat exterior crumble. In fact, I think it would only be amplified tenfold, and I don't think the world – any world – is ready for that.

[vocaloidiot]

Hahaha, that'd be the whole point! It's no fun unless you can get the victim talking cheerily to doors and being best friends forever with the footstool they just met.

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

Well, if that's how you treat Meiko while she's under the influence of alcohol, then it's no wonder that she enjoys strangling you so very much.

[vocaloidiot]

Hahah, Meiko's immune to it by now! Besides, it's all in good fun, of course.

... this is a slight tangent from where we started, huh...

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

Indeed. But between people who speak as often as we do, tangents are only to be expected.

[vocaloidiot]

Hmm... I understand getting out of your room, but isn't it a little odd to get a crowd while you do it?

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

[ ] I'm starting to think that I might miss the attention...

[vocaloidiot]

Aha, I know what you mean. Not being known well has good points, but...

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to forget what an actual crowd sounds like. [ ] Ah, yes. Nothing more than a memory, now.

[vocaloidiot]

--well, if you have to resort to recordings, I'm going to start getting a little worried...

[vocaloidiot]

And besides, there's a Quad right here! Even if you haven't joined the Garden Whatsit yet, you could always just sit up in the middle and sing your heart out, or take a trip to one of the towns. Then you could gather loyal followers and be a folk hero!

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

You're right, of course! [ ] I can regale the locals with tales of robots, from far off lands. Naturally, I'm sure I'll find plenty to write about in this world, so that I don't face obsolescence, upon returning.

[vocaloidiot]

... and if you think about it, while you're here, your entire back catalogue is suddenly fresh and original again.

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

Mm! Somehow, not realising that for myself is a little unsettling, but... well, I can't say I mind the thought of having a brand new audience to perform to.

[vocaloidiot]

Hahaha, it's just too simple an idea for Luka to come up with! Not that we can't embellish it a little... but rebranding seems like it'd ruin the fun of it.

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

Exactly, exactly. I'm always striving to improve, so it somehow seems a little backwards. Not that I'd want to deprive anyone of certain songs, of course.

[vocaloidiot]

Hahah, the perfectionist can't pass up a chance at a fresh look at her old classics!

[soundcirculates.livejournal.com]

[ ] And what about you? It's a chance to be right back in the spotlight, all over again.
