oo6 | [accidental voice] | can't tell you anything

[ Not surprisingly at all, by now, some singing makes its way out over the tablets... it's not the best singing ever, but hey, he's decent. Shane sounds harried and a little nervous as he sings this, because dammit, he doesn't want to, but it's... therapeutic? Good thing he's alone... cough.]

What if I told you you were appetizing
... I mean, amazing.
What if I told you that I hunger for your...
... err, conversation.
What if I told you if I didn't know you,
I would attack you... with hugs,
but because it would be a mistake, I can't tell you anything.

What if I told you you seem so delicious
... ly fantastical?
What if I told you that I was longing to chew...
... se you as my friend?
What if I told you I wanted to taste your...
... famous lasagna for lunch,
but because it would be a mistake
I really can't tell you anything.

This song has nothing to do with me or how I feel,
or how much I want to chase you down an alley

Because friends do that sometimes, I mean... I...

Oh, god.

What if I told you I'm really sorry?
Because I... really am
What if I told you I'm just stupid and young?
Because I really am
What if I told you I'm working harder
and I think it's starting to help

I don't wanna make a mistake
I'm sorry I look at you like you're steak
But I'm more afraid to get staked so I won't tell you
I can't tell you --

Is this thing -- oh, my g --

I just... told... you... everything.

... Ugh.

(( AND HERE IS THE SONG, I wrote and recorded it myself after getting smacked in the face with it without warning. ENJOY.))

...don't eat people.

[erk, Shane freezes for a second.]

I wasn't gonna. I just -- I thought -- ... oh, man.

[bigbad]

Who's this at, anyway? You been ogling someone's neck?

[voice]

[rereremembered.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you've got some problems to work out there, mate.

[shaneonyou.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm... in the process.

[voice]

[rereremembered.livejournal.com]

Well I wish you the best of luck. Just remember that everyone's got their quirks and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Oh my god, is there a single EVIL vampire left in this place? It's like a rehab retreat for the terminally lame.

[Somebody might be suffering from a little 'slay withdrawal'.]

[shaneonyou.livejournal.com]

[EXCUSE SHANE while he is a little offended by this.]

Hey! If by 'evil' you mean doing the whole human-mocking and people-eating thing, they'd have to be pretty stupid vampires.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

Look, I'm just saying that in my day... which was recently... vampires used to be bad, you know? Cape-wearing, finger-steepling, cackle-round-a-cauldron bad.

It's like you all caught a case of the Edward Cullen!

[levilup.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind if you looked at me like steak, babe.

[shaneonyou.livejournal.com]

[Ahhhhh he's going to die of embarrassment.]

Shut up.

[levilup.livejournal.com]

Make me.

[ voice ]

[sneersgenetic.livejournal.com]

That's...wow, just...wow.

[ yeah, he's not really all that bothered by the 'odd' theme of the song that much. ]

[shaneonyou.livejournal.com]

[Grooan.]

Wanna do me a huge favour and forget that just happened?

[sneersgenetic.livejournal.com]

[ connor laughs. ] Sure, no problem. Vampire, though?

[Voice]

[notabuymoron.livejournal.com]

Okay, vampires are worse than wannabe actors. Get a shrink already or a good publicist.

[shaneonyou.livejournal.com]

What do vampires and wannabe actors even have to do with each other?

[Voice]

[notabuymoron.livejournal.com]

Always got that emo crap going on. Are you sure you don't actually live on drama instead of blood?

[faderbroderson]

Godric is torn between laughing and being very worried, here.

[voice]

[shaneonyou.livejournal.com]

... I'm okay. Really.

[visual]

[faderbroderson]

"You don't sound okay."

[Voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

You are fucked.

[THANKS HARVESTMAN nobody needed that]

[Voice]

[shaneonyou.livejournal.com]

... Thanks for pointing that out, dude.

[Voice]

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

Who do you want to eat most of all?

[Drusilla, thoroughly amused by the song, is clearly eager to ... help.]

[Voice]

[shaneonyou.livejournal.com]

Well -- I'm actually kinda trying to avoid that.
