[Ring-a-ding if you need something!

The Spine is never without his phone. If he doesn't pick up on the third or fourth ring, something is definitely wrong. Or one of his brothers has stolen it. Or they're just making it impossible for him to answer.]

Perhaps. Also I do not do what he claims I am doing! It's not as if I dream about the automaton or anything!

[ Expect questions over what "Tsundere" means later, The Spine. ]

Suppose some would be grateful to have a powerful musician standing over them as they dream of long eared furry creatures. Did your group have fans in your world, Sire?

[awfulsentimetal]

[Too bad he doesn't know anime from a hole in the ground, Malkus. Recent songs notwithstanding. PRIOR CANON POINT HAW HAW.]

I never said you dreamed about him, Mister Iverwelling.

We had some fans, yeah. Not as big as other bands, but we had our little dedicated followin'. Nice folks, all of'em. Couldn't have gotten where we were back home without them!

[doctoral_bird]

[ Anime is within all of us, The Spine. Even Malkus. ]

Right right, that is true. Apologies for the assumptive-ness. Surely you're being modest! A band of singing machines must have droves of fans! The pub bard manages to amass a crowd, and all he does is sing shanties of drunk sailors.

[awfulsentimetal]

[Uh...]

Don't worry about it, Mister Iverwelling. I'm sure where you come from things are different. Where I'm from, we just have bands that play bars sometimes. Not... uh. "Pub bards".

[doctoral_bird]

Bars.

[ There was faint mumbling on his end of the phone. Something akin to "Barrss... Bars. Bars." He assumed it was something like a tavern, given the conversation. ]

Well I'm still quite surprised! Can't begin to fathom what sort of entertainment your world has, if singing automatons aren't the talk of the town!

[ It could always just be that The Spine was the more humble of the group. ]

[awfulsentimetal]

[The Spine is the humble one, but it isn't false humility. They really aren't that well known outside of their home town.]

Well, uh... [How to explain movies and television to someone that screamed at the sight of him?] It's not that we aren't impressive, it's just that we're... kinda... niche.
