JASPER

Your room is a bit cramped, but brightly and colorfully lit, with a TV screen showing some music videos and speakers in every corner. There's a karaoke machine with a couple microphones hooked up to it. The karaoke machine has a small keyboard and a search function available.

Underneath the table is a chest of clothes and accessories.

This is horrifying...

It's... we have to sing these?

So it is a performance . . .

[perusing these lyrics]

It should be... doable...

[dubious]

I'm more concerned about figurin' out how to connect 'em...

Maybe there's a man who had a girl he liked and wanted a sado-masochistic relationship with, so he trained very hard to be able to walk 500 miles to see her, and at the end of all this work he woke up -- it was just a dream.

...

That's not bad.

I know.

But... how do we turn that into a performance?

[I'm a homunculus not an actor]

...I don't know. Why should I know? I came up with that story, why should I do all the work?

Well I don't know either!

[hrmmm]

I guess we could put together the bits of the songs that follow the story...? Might sound weird that way, though.

Prince, what's sado-masochistic?

It's when you like bein' hurt or hurtin' someone 'cause it feels good.

[no shame]

Why would hurting feel good? Isn't it supposed to hurt?

Sometimes it's a good hurt, y'know?

[wait this is pitch he's talking to]

It's generally a sex thing.

What's sado-masochistic?

Ask Prince.

Okay.

It's an adult thing.

Why is it sado-masochistic . . .

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

[says it sadly]

That's—I suppose it's suitable.

You see the problem.

I think we need to make a story... or a play... out of what the songs mean.

I don't recognize most of these references...
