Mardi Gras was two days ago. Yet Bob is still in his Hendrix costume.

Why? Because he likes it. Duh.

He's over in the corner, playing something that sounds like a bunch of random notes, but upon lengthy inspection will prove to be a psychedelic version of "O Canada."

He shook his head, "I don'ts cares, just makes it stop, augh."

Meanwhile, Bob keeps on singing, oblivious to anything but his own voice.

"You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
Staaaaar...

Oh no, don't be shy
There's a crowd to cry
Hold me, thrill me
Kiss me, kill meeee-eeeeeeee..."

Toki continued playing after the short fight with the blonde, smiling over at Bob, "Maybes Skwisgaar feels like less of a whiner if we plays metal next."

Bob's face falls. "Actually, I don't know a lot of metal. 'Trogdor' is about it."

"And Skwisgaar doesn't knows it at all." He thought for a while, smiling a bit after coming to an idea, "Okays, easy to works on it. You knows your usual chords, I shows you how to plays my part of Go Into the Water!" He looked over at Skwisgaar, in the tone of 'happy now?'

He shrugged, "Whatevers. I guess dats is fine. Maybes we should teaches him Murderfaces part."

Because y'know, they pretty much edited Murderface out of everything.

"Who's Murderface?"

"Our bassist." But it was said in the tone of 'that's brutal', as he flashed another glare in Skwisgaar's direction.

"Okays, is not so hard to learns my part, you just has to be fast, you can plays pretty fast, I bets you can, you just has to work at it." He was already strumming out the chords, one at a time.

"Okay, you first goes here, plays it like this..."

Bob follows Toki's lead, picking out each chord with precision.

"I think I got it."

"Alrights, now you plays it this fast."

Good luck with playing at that tempo, Bob! :D

"...you're joking, right?"

Skwisgaar grinned, easily falling in with Toki when it was sped up to normal tempo.

Just y'know, with his own part, not Toki's.

It wasn't that hard, it was a fairly slow song, in fact.

"You can doos it Bob, is an easy songs to learn." He kept playing despite talking, he was king of musical multitasking.

"Okay... I'll give it a try."

Bob starts playing at what he thinks is a fairly normal speed, then starts working up to playing faster and faster and...

"OW!"

Ooh, paper cut on the E-string. That's gotta smart.

Handy dandy scooby-doo band aid ahoy! Toki kept them around for that reason alone, had a pocket full of them from practices, and he handed one to Bob "It happens alls the time."

"Oh! Thanks." He takes the band-aid and wraps it around his finger.

It might be worth noting that the 'blood' coming out of his wound is glowing blue rather than the usual red.

Which seemed to make sense. Blue skin, blue blood? It worked, somewhat.

"Whoa, your bloods glows! Metal!"

Even Skwisgaar was impressed by this.

Not that he'd admit it or anything.

What he did say was: "Ja, he's rights, it happens alls of the time."

"It's not blood. It's energy. We only get blood in Games." He rubs his finger a little. "How in the Web do you guys play that fast?"

"We practices.. is energy? Whoa metal, but you bleeds it, so is likes blood anyways." He couldn't help but make that distinction.

"But yeah we practices all the times, Skwisgaar even practices when he sleeps!"

He nodded, "Ja, justs keeps practice." He shrugged, fingers not-quite a blur as he played a riff, "I's can'ts play slows anymore. Is doesn'ts work at all."

"Ja, he can'ts, is hards for me to plays slow, I actually has to ties cinderblocks to my wrists to plays slow like thats."

He nodded as he tried to keep up with Skwisgaar.

Bob winces. "I don't think that's in my parameters. You're on your own for this one."

"Just keeps practicing, Bob, you can changes your poor-am-beaters, right?"

Toki didn't know what he was talking about, but he just knew Bob had the potential.

"Not like that I can't." Bob shakes his head.
