Music always gets hammered down to the Three A's.
Axe, Attitude, and Audience. Me, I had an Axe and an Attitude.
All I had to do was get the third one.

It's kinda hard to understand because they talk about it so casually but there's no way giving up your body or taking someone else's isn't heavy. Musical chairs wasn't meant to be played with bodies or consciousness.

Unless you mean about Arasaka? No, didn't really ask.
Not sure I care about what became of them..

I just heard that my mother's alive. Misty is hanging in there, and my bike is being taken care of. If you have more deets than that, I'm happy to listen, papito.

I meant about Johnny. Sounds like they told you, if that's what you mean about 'musical chairs.'

From:

culero

No, they didn't go into any detail about that--Johnny, I mean. Didn't ask, really.

[All he recalls is that Johnny's subconscious in V's head (either V) was also slowly killing him.]

From:

secondconflict

That's why I met him. He broke into my house to give Johnny a chance for a real goodbye.

The first time I saw him, he's wasn't himself. Johnny was in control.

Fucking wild experience, that.

From:

culero

Did you and Johnny ever have the kind of relationship you have with V? I can see how that would be incredibly confusing for you.

From:

secondconflict

You believe the screamsheets about that shit?

Nah. Never did. I know the Medias like to make it look like we did, or at least that I wanted it and that's what fueled my music.

[That used to make him so fucking angry too. 50 years after Johnny blew up thousands of people, and every once and a while there was still a stray Media who would ask him about how Silverhand influenced each of his albums.]

Hell, there's some truth to that. Except that he didn't have shit to do with my music. I wrote a bunch of Samurai's hits all by myself. And everything after is all me.

Instead of thinking of it in terms of a lover riding back into your life after death--It's more like a brother. A best friend. The person who pissed you off the most but also made you believe you could rule the whole fucking world.

Then, you lose them to their own hubris and they make sure to take thousands of innocent people with them. They're gone for 50 fucking years only to show up as the hottest edgerunner you've ever laid eyes on...

And I've seen a lot of handsome mercs in my time, kid.

From:

culero

Never really followed them, honestly. Just figured I'd ask since I don't know you like V does. All I have to go off of is decade old rumors and things you or V mention.

I can understand that. Feel the same way about V. Both of em. They're my brothers. Family. I mean, neither of them are terrorists, I don't think, but I'm not sure anything would change even if they did something terrible.

[Also he doesn't think V has it in him to give any one entity a big enough fuck you to cause the death of thousands of innocent bystanders as well in the process. That's definitely just a Johnny thing.]

Kid? Are you going to play the age card on me now, old man?
You're right though. The two of you make a handsome pair. Or, well, the three of you.

From:

secondconflict

No offense meant. There aren't many folks who aren't a kid to me and most of them are way above my paygrade.

V's many things, not all of them sunshine and rainbows, but I don't think we gotta worry about him ever going that far.

From:

culero

You're not wrong, but you look like you stopped aging at 29, and I look like life has put me through so much shit I could pass for 40. You can call me whatever you like though, you do have the years to back it up.

I'm thankful for that.
