[And J waits. He can hear them thinking; the problem is, he's not sure if it's genuine or if it's what Silver wants him to hear, and that's not easily solved.]

[He's already gotten that answer from Gold - to a point, at least - but yeah, it makes sense. Probably also why Gold and Silver hide their faces and voices all the time.]

[He nods. As long as the personal questions vein is getting him some answers, he might as well push.]

Gold told me that you can change what you sound like at will. You're loud an' - infectious is the right word, I guess - an' they've got a bad mashup, like there's two tunes in there workin' against each other. Usually someone's tune tells me what I need to know, but if you're choosin' to sound the way you do...why go with that?
