29th Note

[Voice]

So...I think at this point I'm like 75% sure there wasn't actually a flying saucer earlier, which means this is probably real, which means I have to be back in the City, right?

Crap, I hope I remember where my apartment is...

Wait, I don't have keys. Campbell?

[Campbell raises his eyebrows and nods. He gets it. Or he thinks he does, and he is pretty sure he does.] People are tricky.

[And now Curt smoking has made Campbell crave a cigarette so he is just going to...dig in his various pockets, searching for where he's got a pack. Somewhere.

Now, as for the killing his career bit, THAT he doesn't get at ALL.]

How'd he ever want t' get out?! Being a rock star's brilliant!

[He finally finds the packet and starts trying to light his own cigarette, looking perturbed.]

A lot of the time, sure, but sometimes it gets out of control. Like...when you're famous it's like everybody knows you, only it's not really you it's this persona...but they think that that's you and sometimes it starts to feel more real that your real self. And everyone's watching you and everyone loves you, but at the same time they'd be just as entertained by watching you self-destruct.

Hmm. [Campbell thinks about this as he finally manages to light up.] Nah, I still reckon I'd rather be loved by everyone at all. Everyone does the second bit already. Different for different folk, though, eh? So the Brian guy....is he hiding for good?

Well, I've kind of intentionally built a lot of my act around being wild and unpredictable and literally bleeding on stage occasionally, but the ideal is to not actually self-destruct, just stay by that edge, and I know I always get too close.

[He shrugs. It's not something he's used to trying to discuss honestly, but it is something he things about a lot.]

I dunno, I mean, I thought maybe he'd come to the concert since it was kind of in his honor, but I guess not. And Mandy hasn't seen him since she brought him the divorce papers, so who knows what hole he's crawled into.

[Campbell makes a sort of shrugging, dismissive open-palmed motion with his hands.] Ah, well, mad's better than not mad.

He coulda been there incognito?

Brian was never very good at being incognito, but yeah it's possible. I guess I was hoping I'd actually see him and...I don't know what I thought would happen, but I guess I was just hoping.

[This is a little bit outside of Campbell's knowledge base so he takes a drag on his cigarette. Oh well. If you can't think of anything helpful to say, just say SOMETHING.]

Aye, well, there's still time. Besides, man like him, abandoning everybody, you don't need him. It doesnae mean he still couldnae show up, though. Who knows?

Doesn't really matter, anyway. I'm here now and that was my other life. And I remember it was a life I was starting to really like.

That's good! I like it here too!

[Aaaaand here they are, Building 7.]

I'm glad you're back, my man, I've been dead bored in the wee hours with everyone else asleep.
