stop the world;

Pierce. Ryder Pierce. I play the jams with Fallout.

[leslie-is]

It was pretty obvious. How are you?

[pierce-ryder]

That's exactly what I'm saying! Oh, the usual. Good. You?

[starlightgray]

I did. It was awesome. I’m glad to be off the floor though. 

[pierce-ryder]

Why were you on the floor?

[thefirstmartin]

Yeah, it’s - uh- from a musical I think, right?

[pierce-ryder]

Which one?

[scarlet-hayes]

You’re welcome. We enjoy you, we enjoy giving you things you enjoy. It works. It’s cool, don’t worry about it. 

[pierce-ryder]

But I have to worry, Scar.

[heath-cavanaugh]

Dude, I have to!

[pierce-ryder]

How would I be able to listen to music?!

[lux-mccarthy]

My Christmas was great. My New Year was also great. Aside from the gossip, but you know. I’m getting another tattoo. How are you?

[pierce-ryder]

My New Year was mutually great. Oh really? Of what? And I'm doing good, thanks.

[heath-cavanaugh]

Just don’t make me get all Daryl Dixon on you.

[pierce-ryder]

Please don't add my ears to your ear necklace collection.

[thefirstmartin]

That’s a - uh - really good song. 

[pierce-ryder]

Starshines?

[leslie-is]

I take the earth says hello?

[pierce-ryder]

You're the only one to catch on to that. 

[starlightgray]

Well, it’s good to have you back. Did you enjoy your Christmas?

[pierce-ryder]

Thank you, Gray! Yeah, it was really great. I mean I was asleep for most of it but the part where I was awake, really great. Did you enjoy yours?

[lux-mccarthy]

Please don’t die, I like you.

[pierce-ryder]

I like you, too. How was your Christmas?

[scarlet-hayes]

You’re such a fucker Ryder. You’re lucky we love you.

[pierce-ryder]

And you guys are lucky I love you right back. Oh, I wanted to thank you and Nate for those sweet ass presents. I do enjoy guitar things and beer, so it was beautiful. I'm still getting your shit rounded up because the airport lost all my luggage, including the presents. Just my luck, yeah?

[pierce-ryder]

To everyone asking if I died, yes. But now I'm back. Good morning, starshines.

[lux-mccarthy]

I am not dating Dateline. But I at least think I’m dating you. 

[pierce-ryder]

And I think I'm dating you. So do this mean we are dating?

[scarlet-hayes]

Not birthday sex. Not even a little bit. 

[pierce-ryder]

Um, gross?

[starlightgray]

Seriously I went out or seriously I’d never had it?

[pierce-ryder]

The other one would just be rude. I was referring to the Japanese food.

[tylerwhat]

Welcome back to life, dude.

[pierce-ryder]

Thanks, bro. How was life?
