It was a calculated takeover to both our betterment.

I should get to hear you tonight, I'll be at the club for most of it.

[acaseofyou]

Good. I miss seeing you in your spot when you're out.

[noreasonneeded]

I'm looking forward to it, too. Have a drink, watch the set, rouse the crowd for an encore.

[acaseofyou]

Any requests? Want to make sure the most important member of the audience is pleased with the show.

[noreasonneeded]

Something about looking on towards the future, if you can think of any songs that fit your set like that. Although all of your songs are worth hearing.

[acaseofyou]

I think I've got a few that can fit that theme for sure. I'll make sure you're settled in your spot before I start them. Make sure you get the full effect.

[noreasonneeded]

Glad to hear it won't throw off your setlist. I know you work hard to plan how the night will flow.

[acaseofyou]

Thank you for noticing that. But I like to leave some room around the edges for improvisation and special requests.

[noreasonneeded]

Have you ever had an improvisation section onstage? I've heard some bands who set aside portions of their performances where they just did improve.

[acaseofyou]

A few times, usually when I've got a good band with me that likes to play around. More often improvisation on stage means switching up the tone when the crowd gets out of hand.

[noreasonneeded]

Makes sense. Crowds running on too much emotion rarely ends well.

[acaseofyou]

Very true. I try to keep them evened out much as I can, unless the goal is to have things lean too far in one direction. Could probably put a good chunk of them to sleep if we needed to.

[noreasonneeded]

A shame you don't then control what people dream about. Or do you?

[Not at all asking for personal reasons.]

[acaseofyou]

Not that I'm aware of, but I think there's a few that can depending on their skillset.

[ There's honestly a lot of options. ]

[noreasonneeded]

I didn't think so, but it's fine. I was just curious.

[acaseofyou]

You know, I've never tried it deliberately, but I've probably got a few songs that might do some dream-influence. Don't know that I can go in direct or anything. There's some that can go in direct, I just don't know that magic.

[noreasonneeded]

It's fine, like I said. Just curious. I wouldn't want anyone to go directly inside my mind and mess things around, anyway.

[acaseofyou]

Yeah, I don't think I'd want anyone messing things around in your mind, either.

[noreasonneeded]

Suppose that would be the price to be paid for non-shitty dreams.

[acaseofyou]

I'm sure there's other options for that. If they're shitty enough to need the service.

[noreasonneeded]

If you suggest tea, I will be offended.

[acaseofyou]

Kaz, I would never.

[noreasonneeded]

Good. In all seriousness though, I've just learned to live with it. I wouldn't be a sunny person even if I did sleep more. Too much rainy Ketterdam in my veins.

[acaseofyou]

A Sunny Kaz would certainly be an unnerving sight. But I know from nightmares, and wanting to not deal with them even if they show up anyway.

[noreasonneeded]

Yeah. I'm guessing a lot of people have them. Can't even feel special about it.

If I ever find a way around them I'll let you know. Other than sleeping as little as possible.
