I saw one the other day...it had a man in sunglasses dancing like a horse and singing about style...

[douman?]

I hope they're not as strange as that one.

[housewolf]

[Omi, from 2020, takes a moment to place that-] Gangnam Style?

They're not all like that. Don't worry.

[holeful]

[Fukuda from 2019 also needs a minute.]

Haha, that's just a music video! It was actually super popular, too.

[commedia]

Music...video?

[excuse]

[housewolf]

Sometimes when a musician releases a song, they'll make a music video to go with it. It can help pull in an audience and tell a story.

[holeful]

Mm. It's a similar idea with movie trailers, though those don't give you the whole movie.

[commedia]

Why can't you just let the music speak for itself? Unless...its like a movie for music?

[housewolf]

You know? I'm not sure, but I'm also not much of a musician.

[He'll get settled on the couch now that they've made it to the office.]

[holeful]

[And Fukuda will drag the table the laptop's bolted to over to the couch.]

It really depends on the music! Sometimes the video will tell more of a story... but a lot of the time I think people just do it because it's expected.

[commedia]

Expected...the modern age has a lot of "usuals", huh...

[Everything is so bizarre.]

Will the history videos also have music?

[housewolf]

Hm... I don't think so? I'd be surprised if there was music in those.

[It will.]

[holeful]

[Fukuda is pulling up Youtube]

Is that unique to the modern age? People doing things just because it's what everyone does...

[commedia]

No, I guess I mean...the type of trends. Like music in these videos. But trends are always in existence.

[Just reaching for a beer - gimme, Omi.]

[housewolf]

[He will give one to each of them.]

I feel like music videos have been going for a while.

[Omi will point at "Puppet History"]

Let's try that.

[holeful]

[Stares a moment...]

... Puppets?
[WEIRD? So he's obviously going to click on that.]

[commedia]

...Puppets?

[Hah? Who is this...blue fellow?]

This puppet looks...fuzzy?

[housewolf]

"The Professor", huh?

Reminds me of a kid's toy.

[holeful]

It looks like a muppet or something... I guess he's going to teach them?

[Puppet history... Anyway he's opening his beer and also leaning his weight into Omi.]

[commedia]

Well, I suppose a puppet that teaches others could be called a "professor"...

[Douman sees Fukuda leaning against Omi out of the corner of their eye and just...sadly frowns, turning their attention back to the screen.]

Only two people? That's not a very large class.

[housewolf]

It's online university, so technically, we're also part of the class. So is everybody else who's watching.

[Douman, you can lean against him too! He's here for support.]

[holeful]

[Is Omi in the middle??? Anyway Fukuda sems to visibly untense the longer he rests against Omi.]

So it is... Do you think there will be a test at the end?

[commedia]

University...online?

[Douman seems reluctant and just...doesn't know if they're allowed to lean. Sorry. They're self-conscious like this.]

Maybe? We have to watch very carefully, then, though...I do not know why he is speaking of "jellybeans".

[housewolf]

Maybe it's his point system? I'm sure it'll make sense once we start watching.

[holeful]

[Douman does seem vaguely distressed to Fukuda and he got away with it before so he will to to reach out to pat Douman’s knee (because he can’t reach the head from her.) There there.]

Candy being a point system does make some sense. Maybe you get to eat them at the end?

[commedia]

...

[Douman looks down at the hand on their knee, and offers Fukuda a light smile.]

[Taking a sip, they shift closer to Omi just slightly.]

An edible reward? I suppose that will help people learn.
