Doctor from Flowers Over Bones: Ask me anything!

[trustme]

[As planned and announced online a few days before, Doctor makes himself comfortable in one of the practice rooms in front of the laptop Angel set up for the webcast. When the clock hits noon it goes live. On the website the chat room opens to the public.]

Hello every one! Ask me some questions and I shall do my best to answer.

[Join the chat room now!]

[ooc: NPCs friendly and mean both welcome. Earn yourself some MP that way.]

extra funny because FoB is the most hipster band in the game

[trustme]

Sure some of us do! If you're proud of one of your nice qualities there's no reason to be ashamed of acknowledging it. If you had looked up some background information on me before starting this conversation, you'd know I have one of the highest recorded IQs in history.

I don't know how that feels. You'll have to ask someone else because I'm doing something I'm very good at, and it feels brilliant!

it's hipster in the ~wrong~ way!!

"People who boast about their IQ are losers" - prof. H*wking, 2051

that's what you think. several critics agree that your originality had been steadily declining ever since you sold yourself out to Virgo Entertainment.

[trustme]

I agree with the IQ thing. Despite how big a deal people make out of scores there are many types of intelligence that IQ tests do nothing to measure. It makes a good example of why I've been considered smart since a lot of people understand instantly "Oh high IQ. I get it!" as opposed to rattling off abstract equations or the sort to explain myself and how my mind works, but IQ certainly doesn't define anyone indefinitely.

[ "Sold yourself out to Virgo." That's annoying to hear when he knows now that Virgo forced him. ]

Critics love to say things like that- it's how they make a living. Those articles always have to be taken with a grain of salt.

I don't feel any less creative than I have been where I stand now. I'd say our band actually has more creative freedom now because we've proven to Virgo that people like our artistic choices. We have entire flocks of fans who admire our more avant-garde music and performances the most. If our music was bland we wouldn't be known for that.

[sharktrash]

Of course you'd say that. Fact is you've become "radio-friendly". If anything, you're known for trying too hard.

[trustme]

Pray tell. What makes you an expert on music so much that your opinion somehow trumps that of multiple respected musical professionals?

[sharktrash]

Pray tell, who are these "multiple respected musical professionals" you're talking about. I just said most critics agree with me.

[ Attached is a list of surnames with links to relevant articles because that's not tryhard at all. ]

[trustme]

[ Doctor starts listing multiple fellow famous musicians, producers, composers, and even some professors from famous schools and retired professionals. ]

Do you want me to go on? Because I could do this all day. Your list of critics doesn't mean much when they don't like ANY music that comes their way. They've got nothing on the talented people on my list. Basically... they're only about as credible as you seem to be which isn't very much at all.

[sharktrash]

"Talented." Sure. We're going for personal insults now? Because I'm not going to sink to the level of a tantrum-throwing "star", sorry.

[trustme]

[ Doctor laughs again. ]

You're the only mad one here. You're the one who is taking this whole thing far too seriously and approached me with insults to begin with.

You're just not going to convince me that I'm mediocre. You're wasting your time on a mission against a musician you don't like. Why is that?
