It's New Year's eve, time to make some resolutions
As if this could present me with the solutions
To the problems plaguing me, here in the city
Or back in L.A--

As if!

Here I go, anyway:

Number one I swear to keep on trying
To get back home and see him dying--
I mean lying--
Lying in defeat!
Lying at

I did not know you were musical, Dr. Horrible! Really, you have a most charming voice.

And flowers, hmm? Has some fair maid captured your attention?

[horrible_phd]

I do that sometimes. Break out into song. I don't mean to, and to me it just seems like I'm talking. But, um, thanks for the compliment.

What? No! I...that is...I just need to get flowers for...someone for...a reason that has nothing to do with romance. Nothing at all!

[mis_match]

One should always give credit where it is due.

Come now, Dr. Horrible, there's no need to be shy. I'm sure the lady would be most flattered.

[horrible_phd]

Do you think so? I mean, purely hypothetically, would you be happy to receive flowers from someone who liked you?

[warped_inside]

Just wait a bit, I'm sure one of the curses will come along that makes everyone sing, and then you'll be in good company. And can gloat that at least you've a nice voice.

[horrible_phd]

So...those happen a lot, then? To be completely honest I worked with a vocal coach for a while. On my laugh, not my singing, but still.

[warped_inside]

Curses in general, yeah. The singing ones...I've only been hit twice, and I've been here all told about eight months. You have an evil laugh?

[horrible_phd]

Maniacal laughter is an important element of mad science.

Still, that's an average of one every four months. Apparently the deities like singing...

[bakachihuahua]

Oh! What a nice song! It's nice to see someone in the City with a gift for music!

[horrible_phd]

But I don't

I'm glad someone is enjoying this. But I'm sure there are a lot of talented people in the City who are musically talented on purpose. I met a violinist.

[bakachihuahua]

"On purpose"? How could you be musically talented on accident?

Oh! A violinist, really?

[horrible_phd]

I don't know, but apparently I am. I mean, I guess I sing a lot, but I swear I really can't tell I'm doing it. I just open my mouth and it...pops out. I don't even know if I am talented, I just have to assume other people aren't lying about it to make me feel better.

Yeah, she was playing in the square during the, uh, mistletoe curse.

[shakesbuildings]

...That is really fascinating.

You know you could be on Whose Line.

[horrible_phd]

That makes me feel so much better.

...Wait, you watch that too?

[shakesbuildings]

It should! Singing is not something to be ashamed of. Especially Never Gonna Give You Up.

It is my religion almost.

Oh! Sorry. I'm James. That should've been said about five minutes ago. And you?

[horrible_phd]

...Right.

I'm Dr. Horrible. Nice to meet you.

OOC
