[Sure Dave. Okay. John keeps the camera trained on him and somehow manages to skate forward a little.]

I am definitely sure you would kick my ass a lot if I broke it, so I am sure I will not break it. that has to count for something, right?

[parodeity]

[ look as long as john doesn't call him out on it, this is fine. dave's matching john's pace with skating still, although given earlier he can clearly go a lot faster. ]

Okay, so it's your turn to ask me an interview question, I guess?

[windeity]

It is! [And he seems absolutely delighted by the prospect as they lazily skate. The other people on the rink might think they're insane by now, but alas.]

What is something you want to accomplish before 2017 is over?

[parodeity]

[ pretty sure the other people just think they're on a fucking date. ]

Uh...wow, okay. [ laughs he never thinks about accomplishments for himself very well... ] Putting aside certain shit, and going for the interview-safe answer, I guess I would kind of like to learn a new dance?

[windeity]

[Not a date if the word "date" is not used out loud. So it's just bros being bros apparently.]

Makes sense. Do you learn dances as fast as I learn songs?

[parodeity]

That sounded dangerously smug of you. But I pick up most things quickly, when they're physical or a few other categories.

[ usually by being thrown into shit but. ]

[windeity]

It’s not smug if it is a fact. [Like. Just saying.] What kind would you want to learn?

[parodeity]

Soundin' like a smug jock stereotype again, Eggs. [ he'd flip john off but he'd have to move his hands. :/ ] And I don't know. Something fast and hard and complicated.

[windeity]

Whatever. You would be good at that, I think. That’s something I think I’d like to see.

[parodeity]

I'd need a partner. [ that's not even true if it's not a pair dance? ok ]

[windeity]

You could probably ask Anya? [Thats probably not where Dave was going.]

[parodeity]

Nah. [ he shrugs, and apparently dismisses the entire topic, moving on. ] Next question?

[windeity]

Okay. Why red? [He can move on, sure. ]

[parodeity]

Why blue?

[windeity]

Not how this works, Dave. This is your interview, remember? [But he can't maintain the seriousness for long.] I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. [Why it's his favorite, basically.]

[parodeity]

I genuinely don't know. [ not a dodge. ] I'm not even sure it was originally?

[ when he was a kid, he means. ]

I think it's just one of those universe-dictated things. Color coded for your convenience. I mean... [ a shrug. ] ...it's just my color.

[windeity]

You're not wrong. Every time I think of red I think of you first so you did a pretty okay job copyrighting it. If you can copyright a color, I mean. And anyway it looks good on you.

[parodeity]

Everythin' looks good on me, but it is true red works in particular. And, I don't know. Maybe it's not so bad a color? I get that sort of feeling from it.

[windeity]

What was that about sounding smug? [He would push Dave's head but his arm is occupied and he's still holding the camera, so Dave's safe for now.]

I don't think it's a bad color. It's a good one to pick as a favorite.

[parodeity]

Your turn, starshine.

[ he'll run out of dumb names at some point, surely. THIS HAS YET TO HAPPEN FOR CHIYO OR ANY OTHER FRIEND WHO HITS THE POINT OF HIM USING THEM, but it could happen... ]

[windeity]

My turn to explain why blue? [Starshine works just as well as buttercup, so okay.] Because blue is one of the most open colors out there, it's calming, it's the color of the sky...usually...and I think it's probably the one most associated with freedom.

[parodeity]

...Yeah, maybe. I mean, that's true depending on when you're talkin' about. [ okay? ] But I guess that means you get question two?

[windeity]

Question two? [What now?]

[parodeity]

You already forgot you were interviewin' me, didn't you.

[windeity]

This is technically question three, but also maybe if you were not so distracting I wouldn't forget! [Rude.] Okay, so next question. What's your opinion on people who do not have a favorite song?
