Subject: INVITATION FOR MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT 

 

Dear miss Rem, 
On behalf of Travia Abdelhaquedottir, lead singer of Travestalk, you have been invited to collaborate in an upcoming filming of a Travestalk music video, since it has been stated that you had provided vocals for some of their songs, namely "Trying Is Worth Much More Than Just Being" and "Drowning My Ambitions". 
Filming starts this coming tuesday and we are expecting you to come on time to the set in casual clothing, with the address of our studio attached. We also look forward for doing future businesses with you. 

 

Sincerely, 
Quartzircone HR Manager

DUUUUDE. I JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM YOUR LABEL 

 
Traveeee.ya [9:48] 
I KNOW THEY cc'd me. tash, tak, boje & kj too. 
believe it or not I check my email everyday cuz yknow hectic music industry 

 

Remrat8448 [9:49] 
IKR 
but compared to the animation industry I thnk music is less hectic 

 
Traveeee.ya [9:50] 
not if there's concerts everywhere. we havent got to that part yet lol but soon we will be. and you my friend, ur gon get a taste of fame right after the first music video muahahahaha 

 

Remrat8448 [9:52] 
sigh. finally. 
 
 

Traveeee.ya [9:53] 
cant believe youre my temporary replacement now. its been a month 
 
 

Remrat8448 [9:53] 

of course I mean who else is good at making music in our sector besides us? Its still weird though, after the incident I stayed working in dwy's cubicle for 10ish days. 

one day I got bored and made up some tunes while waiting for dwy cuz shes staying back until 9pm cuz shes gonna take me out to dinner. my brain was all up replaying the animated scenes we both did and somehow i concocted the perf soundtracks for every scene. 

 

Traveeee.ya [9:55] 
WOOP WOOP 

 

Remrat8448 [9:55] 
then dwy was like BAM that’s it this music goes with this scene and that goes there n she went mixy-matchy and we were screaming. literally screaming. literally holding hands jumping n screaming cuz we finished everything yet again that night. 
 

Traveeee.ya [9:57] 
its like two months ago all over again hours after I gave u both tacos. man i wish i was there giving u 2 tacos 
 

Remrat8448 [9:57] 
butbutbut u aint here n it wasnt tuesday bruhbruh 
 

Traveeee.ya [9:57] 
lol bruhbruh 
btw hows s.s.berlona? did it sail? 
 

Remrat8448 [9:58] 
IT DIIIID AAAAAAAA ilona n berwald had been going on double dates with azka n ingvald too, oh n they unofficially adopted slapface the duck from the duck park. all 4 of them 

Traveeee.ya [9:59] 
YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS

Remrat8448 [10:00] 
man remembering how annoying berwald can be when he gets psychological with ppl I hope he doesn’t do that to ilona often. 
 

Traveeee.ya [10:00] 
he only does that to close friends I bet 
 

Remrat8448 [10:00] 
yea but imagine the amount he'll do that to his GIRLFRIEND. 
 

Traveeee.ya [10:01] 
whoa 
 

Remrat8448 [10:01] 
I mean he went nuts on me during the intervention last 3 weeks like, he should drop off this company n take a job as a psychiatrist already 
 

Traveeee.ya [10:01] 
but the company needs their own psychiatrist. wait hes supposed to be a psychology analyst. much like animation studios need their own musicians n bands to provide songs for em, and RN, you should be proud to be the company's musician for now, cuz eventhough youre tied to it you can still make small gigs in cafes and small places, n ur audience will be the loyal fans of the cartoon shows you guys make. thats still recognition. you watch Steven Universe right? I mean juz cuz Rebecca Sugar creates the show and makes the songs for it, doesn’t mean she cant occasionally grab her guitar and sing her original songs outside the show on stage. she's just as much of a musician as she's a cartoonist. 

 

Remrat8448 [10:03] 
gee trav, thats... deep. 
 

Traveeee.ya [10:03] 
o pls, im juz stating the facts its not even deep. now dwys advices, THATS deep. 

 

Remrat8448 [10:04] 
hey, remember the days when its just you n me seemingly going against zephyra cuz she started out as someone like us n suddenly got famous? 

 

Traveeee.ya [10:04] 
it was a pizza tripod wish. so random. but why did you wish that I got my recognition first if you knew youre just gonna envy me anyway? 

 

Remrat8448 [10:04] 
cuz uhm well 
cuz 

dwy said ive got this "talent" of finding similarities in different & seemingly unrelated things. compared to me, i see a lot of mutual similarities between u n zeph, besides the hair parting, fashion taste n your musical backgrounds. You both got a fixation to certain colors that inspire you to write songs, while my songs are either about stupid mishaps or ambiguous emotions I couldnt explain. 

 

Traveeee.ya [10:05]
haha
youre more of a mish-mash yourself cuz i remember if its not zephyra its always dwy with you, those two r always ur main targets. if ur gonna, in berwald's words, 'pawn' yourself i also think youre more of a dwy than a zephyra.

Remrat8448 [10:05]
pretty much
i have been slacking less now

Traveeee.ya [10:06]
speaking of zephyra shes actually pretty nice in person, i met her n took some selfies. she wants to collab with me but im not sure if thats happening since both our music labels are rivals

Remrat8448 [10:06]
im sure that wont get in the way of both y'all professionalism

 

Traveeee.ya [10:07]
well, cant wait till you get here, comrade

Remrat8448 [10:07]
da.
OHH speaking of which i havent replied the email yet nngggg
what should i say what should i say?

Traveeee.ya [10:07]
classic you and your email anxiety
uhh just say you love to, and look busy for the sake of professionalism but inviting cuz you really HAVE TO take the job
i cant not feature your face in a song with your voice in it.

Remrat8448 [10:07]
okay okay... i think i got it. lemme write it down in a notepad first

Traveeee.ya [10:08]
alright cheers

Remrat8448 [10:08]
toast

Subject: RE: INVITATION FOR MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT 

 

To whomever replies this email eventually, 
I never thought this request would come true. I would love to collaborate in this video shooting. Travia was, still is, one of my close friends and after all I sang in those songs and I did design her album cover. Pardon my casual tone, I have email anxiety. 

I would like to make a few requests for this shoot. One, since I'm still working in the animation studio, I would have to make adjustments with my work schedule for this shooting, so if you all don't mind I would arrive within a range of flexible hours, depending on the shooting schedule. Two, for the given publicity I would like to go under the pseudonym "Remains Nameless". 

I am really, really looking forward for this collaboration.

[14:10]Strovdelnuvdel: Hey... Heard someone just got a call to shoot a music video with a famous friend 

[14:10]RemainsNameless: Oh please. 

[14:10]RemainsNameless: Wait I only got the email this morning, where didja heard the news from? 

[14:10]HaJarOfHearts: yo' girl TravTrav. I stalk her now since she has a Twitter. She tweeted that youre gonna be with her in a music video soooo 

[14:11]HaJarOfHearts: WE SHOULD THROW A PAAAAARTAY 

[14:11]hazmatsuitup: Preferably with glowsticks and cheat codes and free food 

[14:11]Strovdelnuvdel: Free junk food! Hey yknow what'd be funny? Literal junkfood. Pick em up from your junk pile 

[14:12]hazmatsuitup: Strov ya dingus you have a bigger junk pile than me 

[14:12]Strovdelnuvdel: Dont blame me blame Steffanie yeez that game was the longest ive spent on this month. 

[14:12]Strovdelnuvdel: No. 

[14:13]Strovdelnuvdel: These two months. Really does a good job on distracting me from reality 

[14:13]Strovdelnuvdel: probably wouldve been depressed by now without it 

[14:13]HaJarOfHearts: only for you to end up bustin out the waterworks in front of remi & shivonne and we had to come rescue ya. Gods sake, youre a level 120 rogue, dude! 

[14:13]Strovdelnuvdel: hey I didn’t know Heloise had a new girlfriend who looked like a boyfriend. lol thats like the opposite of that Killers song 

[14:13]Strovdelnuvdel: I was just surprised n jealous but I wasnt angry 

[14:14]HaJarOfHearts: yea but still. idk bout u guys but its the first time I saw Mr PokerFace McMehWhatever shed tears like a real man

[14:14]RemainsNameless: Lesley Gore right? 

[14:14]HaJarOfHearts: I thought it was Melanie Martinez 

[14:14]RemainsNameless: originally sampled from lesley gore, that line only. idk if melanie meant it as a tribute or homage 

[14:15]hazmatsuitup: isnt that the same thing? 

[14:15]RemainsNameless: kinda

[14:16]RemainsNameless: anyway travia said once when she gets famous she doesn’t wanna do samples of already popular songs. covers, yes, but not samples. she might compile her cover songs in some unpopular album but if she starts selling albums at least the first one should contain completely original songs. 

[14:17]HaJarOfHearts: TRUDAT. Musicians nowadays be doing covers a lot just to get quicker popularity. 

[14:17]hazmatsuitup: n doing commercials. Sellout alert. Sound the alarm.

unlike you 

 

Remrat8448 [3:26] 
how does she do that 
 
 

Traveeee.ya [3:27] 
u shd learn a thing or two from her on being a good sport lel 

Remrat8448 [3:27] 
pleeeeeez to envy is human. n singing n making songs just isnt in her field.
prty sure if theres another girl in d office who is a gamer, designs games, has good taste in music or also praised for her brash attitude, or both, shes gonna bring this girl down in an instant.

Traveeee.ya [3:28]

K so... since RN n Travia are pursuing their music careers n Berwald is starting a new blog on documented human behavior in the office, I think it's my cue to take a step forward too. Im gonna pitch my idea for a new book. It's completely fiction work since you all know how much I love fairies and the fantasy theme (think LOTR n Hobbit). Anyway this is just a draft, but lemme know what you all think, tell me if it's a good enough start or tell me if some parts need corrections, fact checks and out-of-topic or out-of-character checks. 

P.s. don’t laugh at me RN but yes its also cuz i was partially envious of that guy from Glee who also wrote fantasy-themed novels. I turned that to motivation like you always do.

why'dya link me the videos? 

 

Remrat8448 [6:10] 
i want u 2 keep em.
choostorage isnt just online storage, its also private online sharing
you use heemail right, idk if giggleupload has the same service

strov508lund [6:11]
uhuh

Remrat8448 [6:11] 
the one i showed u before actually helped me sleep once 
 

strov508lund [6:11] 
wait what 
dont tell me 
YOU MEAN YOU 
AT GIO & ZEPH 
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUGH 

 

Remrat8448 [6:12] 
dont tell shivonne pls 
my vibe was just beside my pillow. its within reach.  

 

strov508lund [6:12] 
hahaha chill dont sweat i know its only human 
no im not gonna tell her 
but pretty sure the other 3 r gonna find out about it faster than u can say 'im a creep with no boundaries' 

 

Remrat8448 [6:13] 
sigh alright alright 
its just intriguing that they can do the do in those weird positions using cloth pieces and other things 

i mean imagine heloise n her gf doin it like that 
really makes u wonder huh 

strov508lund [6:14]
isw2g
u rly want me to waste 4 pairs of pants in a day 

Remrat8448 [6:14] 
who said anything about 4 pairs of pants lol
hey
what you did during the intervention three weeks ago, defending me n stuff
that was kinda brave.
also kinda mindless, but also rogue-ish.

strov508lund [6:14] 
thx 
but pls i was imbalanced n i pretty much wasnt being myself since i found out about heloise n elaine that time 
kinda like you stopped being urself since you found out travia got signed to quartzircone 

 

Remrat8448 [6:15] 
guess we're both on the same side of the coin 
a psychologically messed up coin 

 

strov508lund [6:15] 
just two different coins 
with the same value 

Remrat8448 [6:15]
meh, yeah.
oh also
thanks for keeping on reminding me to be honest and all
i probably need that more than i thought i would
but not enough. thats probably why the intervention happened.

strov508lund [6:16]
see
if you keep lying and hiding things from people theyll dig & dig & uncover ur secrets & try to expose u eventually

Remrat8448 [6:16]
i know that now

strov508lund [6:16]
n weirdly i wasnt being upfront with heloise myself
another bad thing about keeping ur emotions all in
you turn into a sobbing mess n she finds you and brought it up herself.

Remrat8448 [6:17]
its ironic though
youre Strov FREAKING Lund
Captain Honesty
who wouldve thought captain honesty would be dishonest with his thoughts n feelings one day

strov508lund [6:18]
strange tho
ive heard admiral blankface, general expresionless, and just recently mr pokerface mcmehwhatever
but never captain honesty
am i really that expressionless?

Remrat8448 [6:18]
obvsly
asmad's the joker, heloise's the sweet one, hajar's the sassy one & ur the... meh one

strov508lund [6:19]
huh.
n if ur with us ur the fish out of water hahaha
hey have people called you a walking diary cuz you keep those timestamps thing
and that ur also a good listener

 

Remrat8448 [6:20]
youve told me that a lot
but yeah, no one has called me a walking diary before
the timestamps thing started two months ago since i downloaded penzu on my phone
its a new concept

strov508lund [6:20]
i dunno, i just...
maybe i kinda need a walking diary in my life too

 

Remrat8448 [6:21]
you wanna do timestamps too?
sure im just gonna list down some apps you can use

strov508lund [6:21]
no i mean
im still getting over heloise, the process is still incomplete
i know now im not an option for her but...
somehow just distracting myself by playing games isnt enough
anyway
it feels kinda nice with you watching me play last time, i dunno theres just something extra that adds to it

Remrat8448 [6:22]
cant you just ask either hajar or asmad to watch you play? 

strov508lund [6:22]
please. theyre gamers, of course id ask them to play with me.
also they still remind me of heloise. we're a gang, were inseparable.
but with you it's... like... i felt at peace with what im dealing with.

Remrat8448 [6:22]
am i like a figurative tranquilizer? a drug?
was i just dubbed your bestest bro outside your gang, ever?
aw. im flattered.

strov508lund [6:22]
get the hint, soldier.

 

Remrat8448 [6:23]
oh
OH
OHHHHHHHH
it just clicked

strov508lund [6:23]
theres a new cafe opening up, they serve punkrock-themed milkshakes and lattes
i know thats your thing
im just in it for the drinks

Remrat8448 [6:24]
it's a date

strov508lund [6:24]
k see ya :)

Another crew from Shiv's Ship! 
Hi, nice to finally get in touch with you. I've heard your voice from Travia's songs and saw her mentioning you on her last last interview but cant really remember what you look like. Guess I'll have to wait for the music video :) you sound like a natural harmonizer btw.

I also heard from Shivonne that you staged Travia's band (before they become Travestalk) & took a photo of them to resemble me and my band's photo. That's cute.

We should do a collab sometime, all three of us. I've talked to Travia about it when we met briefly. Maybe on a personal scale cuz, you know, our labels. But technically you're still under the animation company's name so that should be fine.

Subject: RE: Meetup maybe?

 

That was fast. Hiiiii it's an honor to talk to you aaaaaaa
Sorry, email anxiety. But I would LOVE to collaborate with you, though. We both can talk to Shivonne about clearing our schedules if that were to happen. The first episode of Don't Let Me Down's 3rd season just aired. That's the show we were doing for the past month. We're still waiting for critics while doing TV station idents, so right now we're not as busy as we used to be.

Collabing with Travia however, just to play it safe we can record short improv videos of ourselves with apps like Vine or Kwai. Instagram videos work too. That's enough to make fans go nuts cuz to be honest, they won't expect a collaboration between you two. Now that's gonna be a real shocker a.k.a. an awesome treat.

To be honest, I've been envying you since the day you gained national recognition a few years ago. Both Travia and I, thats kind of the reason we parodied one of your songs. I see a triangle, its blue point on top and its purple and red points down at the same level. And then Quartzircone happened to Travia, she got lucky first and suddenly the upright triangle I thought I knew became an inverted triangle as she ascended up, steadying to your level but not with you. I still see three points, but now the purple point is on the same level as the blue one. At that moment the red point keeps descending lower and lower but I realized no matter how low it sinks, the blue and purple points are still connected to it. In the end it's the red point's choice to keep sinking even lower, or to bring itself up to the other points' levels. And at this moment... it's gradually rising and getting closer, forming a line.

Ah, sorry, I'm rambling. But hey this sounds like a decent song idea.

 

Keep rockin' out!

First of all, WHOA WHOA WHOA RN thats confidential, pretty sure Zephyra does not need to hear that story. Although you should turn that triangle concept into a song, then maybe one of us, or both of us, might cover it in your honor.

Also I agree with the idea of low-key collabs on Instagram, Vine and Kwai. RN and I don't have personal Instagram accounts but we can use yours, Zephyra. Celebs shoot vine videos with each other all the time. Even sometimes group selfies make fans go nuts.

Your girl,
Travia
