 [You know what would be awesome right now?

Some nice sounds of the 70's. But what does Gabriel get from the Animus?

This. And now he's sharing it.

Congratulations, gang. You've just been Rick-Rolled. As it stands, there's just disembodied music playing over an empty room. Gabriel's just lurking somewhere in a corner waiting on reactions, because...

Your song is annoying.

[No, he doesn't think this is fitting at all. Never.]

Were you expecting something with a little more class? I mean, it's not what I'd pick, but I do love those agonized screaming noises coming from the peanut gallery.

[wingsandwill]

It's grating, but I'm not certain why there's such a strong reaction from the others.

It's the most infamous song in music history.

[There's a sound like a record skipping and suddenly "We Built This City" comes on. Gabriel just... Linfaces.]

Okay, besides that one.

[Another record skip. Now it's "Achy Breaky Heart"]

And now the Animus are just being dicks.

[madcuriosity]

Why would they knock down the gates?

[Voice]

[checkoutpandora]

Because the Animus' sense of humor is enabling my sense of humor and that spells a lot more fun for me than anyone should be comfortable with.

[Voice]

[madcuriosity]

Why would your song be fun?

[Voice]

[checkoutpandora]

Are you listening to it? I mean, just embrace the message of this song.

[NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP.
NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN.
NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND-

Yeah, basically you get the gist. WHAT IS HAPPIER THAN THAT?]

[fairymicrowaver]

Man, that is grating like nails on a blackboard.

What was that, Dean? You want me to turn it up? If you insist.

[NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP. NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN~]

[Video]

[fairymicrowaver]

What was that? You want to hear real music? Fine.

[FORGET THE HEARSE 'CAUSE I NEVER DIE. I GOT NINE LIVES. CAT'S EYES!]

[OH JESUS. HIS SENSITIVE EARS.]

Ohhh, how I've missed the droning of mullet rock.

[And speaking of... Gabriel's song switches to...

HEEEEEAT OF THE MOOOMENT.]

...Yeah, I could definitely have gone without having to put up with that song again.

[Offline] because he's too cool for PCD's.

[...Did you just Rick-Roll the devil?

Yeah. You did.

And Lucifer gets all of thirty seconds in before even his patience is frayed.]

You'll let it go all the way to ten?

[checkoutpandora]

[Yeah, Lucifer, you just walked in on Gabriel actually dancing to this crap. He wasn't the first few times, but now? Now he's getting into it.

..Unfortunately, Lucifer suddenly appearing causes him to stop mid-boogie, cough, and regain his... Uh. Whatever passes for composure.]

Look, I tried switching it to the seventies soul station, but the Animus weren't having any of that crap. Might as well make the most of it.

[He actually lifted a hand, one finger raised--to point? to snap him into the next dimension?]

And you were worried about me losing it around them.

[Which brings him down to business. Sort of.]

Have you seen Michael yet?

[Offline]

[checkoutpandora]

I'm not losing it. I'm going with it. If you aren't storming the castle, might as well eat the cake. And yes, I know you weren't actually there when Marie Antoinette became a foot shorter, but try to keep up, wouldja?

[He exhales.]

I talked to him. He's still got the entire Tree of Knowledge rammed up his keister.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm just thinking of all the poor, unfortunate children out there who've never been Rick-Rolled.

[p0ker_alice]

[She's so grateful. Really.]

Is that what they call it?

[Video]

[checkoutpandora]

Yep. A song so bad, they had to give it a nickname.
