2. ➟ VIDEO ( aged up marty! )

[ He's going to keep this pretty brief. Marty's too busy wallowing in his own failures to really take the time and present himself to the entire network, but hey. Today is a special occasion, because he really wants to get rid of this guitar. After endless attempts to try and play (with each and every one being a failure), he's ready to get rid of it. Say goodbye to his past life. ]

Hey, yeah. Does anyone want a guitar for sale? I don't want it.

[ Marty pauses. ] I don't remember how much I got it for, but it's gotta be worth something, right? I haven't played it recently. [ At least, not at this age. ]

Just let me know, alright? Hit me up or something.

[ Who has two thumbs and doesn't recognize Aged Up Marty even though he totally saw the second film? THIS GUY ]

How much do you want for it?

[ HOW COULD YOU ]

Shit, I don't know. I can send you a pic.

How do you do that on these things? This future's kinda weird.

[ Ahh. A Newbie. Max nods. ]

I hear ya, we don't have these smartphones where I come from, either. It's kind of hard to explain over the phone, how bout I just meet you there?

Yeah, sure. It's not like I have plans or anything.

Where are we meeting up?

What city are you in?

Was it owned by someone famous?

Depends.

If I say no will you not buy it?

I wouldn't buy it either way.

Then why even ask?

It might be important to someone.

It's my guitar. It used to be important but now it's not. I can't play anymore so why keep it around?

Plus I need extra cash. I just got fired.

Find a new job.

Why bother?

It will make you more money than your guitar.

Do you want to know my career record? It's not pretty.

No boss in their right mind's gonna pick me.

Sell your body.

[Ladies and gentleman: spider logic.]

[ oh my g o d ]

Do you even-?

Okay. No.

It's probably worth more than your guitar.

What are we even talking about?

Prostitution.

What the hell, seriously? No!

Why not?

Because! I'm not going to go around selling myself for money.

I'm not that low. Jesus.

you know how
to play the guitar?

i used to
messed up my hand real bad in an accident years back
so i can't play anymore

[Manolo stares down at the message, stunned at the admission. He tries to imagine losing that part of himself, but the thought makes his stomach grow cold. A life without music would kill him.]

have the doctors here
looked at it at all?
the medicine and treatments
are like miracles
so there must be something
here for you too!

no
but i live in a place where cars fly and kids run around on hoverboards
if they can't fix my hand they can't fix my hand
don't think it'll do me any good at this point in time though

whats wrong with it?
is it because it hurts
when you move it?
or do the fingers just not
work like they should?

im not sure what happened
yeahit hurts but like i literally can't play it
can't stretch my fingers enough to touch the frets
yeah they don't work like they should basically

i am told my music helps
relieve symptoms of chronic conditions

its not a permanent fix but
it might let you play for a little bit
if you wanted to give it a try

[ Oooh, he's interested in this. ]

so you're telling me that if i listen to you play you can help me

yeah
yeah i don't think i'd mind
where can i find you/

it has worked for the children
at the hospital
i also have a friend
with an incurable illness
and my music seems to help with the pain

i live in heropa 015
but i can meet you somewhere else
if that would be easier for you

heropa
that's in florida right?
i think i can give you a visit if i just teleport or whatever

what time is ok for you?
if you're ok with right now can we just meet?

thats right!
we have a porter in this city so
you should have no problems arriving here
if you are registered
now is fine for me

that sounds really good actually
alright i'm gonna head out
i'll see you in a bit?

(( did you want to continue this? i'm okay with that!))

great!
see you soon

((I'm okay with that too! :D))

[If there had been any time to catch up with the Back to the Future series between Toby's miraculous resurrection and arrival in MoMverse, you can bet that Toby would've. But he hadn't, and in his reverted-to-eighties-Tobias Matthews-state, he doesn't recognise older Marty.]

Question: Why are you selling it?

[ Maybe that's a good thing! Marty in 2015 is not a sight for sore eyes. He kind of reeks of defeat in a way. ]

'Cause I can't play it anymore.

And why is that, might I ask?

I got into a wreck years ago and screwed up my wrist real bad. Any time I play it sounds like shit.

Trust me, you don't wanna hear it.

Hear which? The story of your wreck, or the sound of your playing?

Well, I mean...[ There's a pause! ]

...Both.

[He hums in thought.] All right. I guess I'll be nice and take your word for it. In exchange, we should go out for drinks; what say you?

I never say no to drinks anymore.

Want me to head over to you?

Well, I'm not in a pub right here and now, but how about we meet up at [insert pub name here] in Maurtia Falls? I can be there in ten...

Sure thing! I gotta port there but I can meet you up.

I'll be there in a few.

[ ooc- did you want to continue this? or we can handwave if you'd like! ]

[I'd love to continue this, albeit rather slowly. Totally okay with continuing the thread here or actually doing a log—I have an April catch-all log with Toby here if you're interested in popping a new thread in there or would like me to do a starter for you. I'm flexible. XD]
