First Song ♫ Video (@wild.flower; filtered away from minors)

[hasitsthorns]

[ When the camera feed starts to roll, Rose already has everything staged. She had managed to scrape up together enough money for a DJ booth and is sitting behind it. Music flows out of the speakers, bass thrumming through the floor. And probably disturbing the neighbors! How can someone really upset about the noise though when she’s grinning so big?

With the turn of her wrist, she dials back the sound and pulls her headphones down but leaves her fashionable shutter shades on. ] Hey, Quarantine. In light of this month’s festivities, I have a burning question for everyone.

[ Well. Mostly, everyone. There’s a reason that this thing is filtered away from minors. The music suddenly shifts to the ever classic Bump N’ Grind by R. Kelly. Her head sways to the opening beat, smile still going strong. It’s low enough to be heard in the background but that she can still speak over it clearly. ]

Music says a lot about a person, I think. So, knowing that... What’s your favorite love makin’ song? What’s the one you use to set the mood or enjoy getting freaky to?

[ A small pause as she considers. ]

Hard Mode: No Marvin Gaye. Don't get me wrong! I love Marvin much as the next woman. He’s timeless, but- Also a little overdone. So, lay it on me gentlemen and lllllladies [ winkwonk ] since I wanna’ hear what song gets you going.

[Orion's grinning at this, can't really help it. The whole thing strikes him as outright absurd.]

Marvin Gaye's kind of cheating, isn't it? Kind of like, uh... Al Green, right? Gotta be more creative than that.

[alchemyfreak]

People pick a song for that?

Depends on the mood, I guess. I've recently developed a taste for Sting.

[ Not that he didn't like Sting before, but. You know. ]

i'm now stuck in earth, wind, and fire boogie hell thx

[hasitsthorns]

[ That's because it is! She loves it. ]

Yeah, totally cheating. Everyone goes for Marvin. Just like if you ask about Disco, Earth, Wind, and Fire are like the first band people think of. That's because they're amazing but still!

I wanna' see what unique songs people come up with.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Oh. Oh, no. Sweet summer child. ]

Uh. Do you not realize how many songs have been written for the sole purpose of people boning?

[hasitsthorns]

super hot
i'm sure there's some people pretty into that
i'm not about to kinkshame

[hasitsthorns]

Ooo, Sting. That's a good choice. Slow and sweet kind of guy, huh? Desert Rose is one of my favorites, but-

I might be biased. I tend to like songs or bands with my name in them.

[winscenario]

Like I said, depends on the mood. But you did say lovemaking, so that implies a specific kind of mood.

[ He chuckles a bit. ] It's a nice song, though in this particular context, I think I'm more of a Fields of Gold kinda guy. Or Fragile, Shape of my heart... that kind of tune.

[alchemyfreak]

No.

[We've been over this. His musical exposure stops somewhere between Panic! and Beethoven, Rosie, what did you expect?]

I realize there are more songs than I'll ever comprehend the need for, but this is ridiculous.

[voice; hot.damn]

[circumitus]

No.

[That's it. That's her answer.]

welcome!

[warnotlove]

I don't know about you, but I can't work with a cliche.

[Don't listen to him, he's never worked with anything.]

You're the music expert here, any suggestions? You know, if you're trying to impress someone.

[He's not, considering he's a virgin surrounded by virgins but there's nothing wrong with flirting right? Right!]

[The combination of a familiar face and such an odd question, at least to the Viking, meant it was next to impossible not to pop in and comment.]

You are talking about ritual sex? [Even after being in Riverview for a few months now, he was still unaware that there were things, such as the phone in his hand, that could play music in his home. Therefore, he had to assume she meant some kind of public sex, and the first kind that came to mind was ritual sex.]

Marvin Gaye sounds like a loser

[And to answer the question, he sends a link. Whether he's being serious or not will forever remain a mystery.]

[hasitsthorns]

hey now, don't diss Marvin
countless people were conceived to that man's dulcet tones
Queen B is an excellent choice though
that's absolutely a love makin' song

[hasitsthorns]

[ That's alright, neither has Rose. ]

Hhmm. Me? I'm more of a modern Pop person, so... [ R. Kelly's voice gives way for The Weekend's and Rose's head bobs to the synthetic beat. ]

Something like this is more my speed. Got a nice groove, pretty explicit lyrics. I'd be totally dtf to this song.

[hasitsthorns]

I guess that's fair. Love making is a bit different from a just going to the bone zone. Or, I mean, I hope it would be different.

[ At the mention of Shape of My Heart, a push of a button and slide of something has R. Kelly fade away and transition into that very song. ]

It is pretty nice, yeah.

[hasitsthorns]

You do realize there are a lot of songs with the title No, right?

[ To showcase her point, Megan Trainor's No starts to play in the background now. ]

That doesn't narrow it down for me.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Something. It still boggles her mind that people here don't know of modern music, alright!! ]

What's so ridiculous about it? Music is a way of expressing one's self. Some people like to sing about the timeless act of bangin', there's also tons of songs about heartbreak and break-ups, and some that are ridiculous because the point is to try and make people laugh.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Hey! Good to see him again. She doesn't seem ashamed about the topic at hand though her smile does grow a bit at the way he puts it. ]

I mean, I guess one could argue playing music to have sex has become kind of a ritual in today's age. Not everyone does it, but- It helps set the mood. Makes things more fun and less awkward, usually.

[spellslots]

[Taako completes the arduous task of actually looking up who Marvin Gaye is. It's fine, he guesses.]

Doesn't that make it kinda cliche then? Like, if I'm going back to some dude's place to bang and the only sex music he's got is the sex music everyone uses I'm not all that impressed, you feel?

[hasitsthorns]

[ Marvin Gaye is a man who is worth the effort, she guarantees it. ]

there's a difference between cliche and classic!
besides, cliches exist for a reason, yeah?
why mess with something that works?

[spellslots]

It shows a lack of creativity, not the kinda thing I look for in someone I'm gonna sleep with. 'Something that works' is like the lowest bar in the bedroom

[hasitsthorns]

i guess i'm pretty easy, honestly
i'm a sucker for the classics
old style movie romance and marvin gaye, can't go wrong there

but hey, that's cool!
you wanna' be a super freak, live your dreams

[spellslots]

There's gotta be a line between boring and super freak cause it's not like I'm listening to Lana Del Rey while fucking the sugar daddy that just snorted coke off my ass

[There's a mental image.

Who let him on the internet.]
