Joe and Nelly are sitting together during another late-night virtual hangout, browsing through classic music clips. ๐ถ๐ป
Joe:
โYou know, Nelly, Iโve been thinking about Prince again. Incredible musicianโฆ but I always joke he wouldโve been a terrible โNew Master.โโ
Nelly:
(laughs) โWhyโs that?โ
Joe:
โBecause the guy had a reputation for wanting a whole harem of women. Great guitarist, sureโbut a spiritual teacher? Thatโd be chaos.โ
Nelly:
โJoe, youโre impossible.โ
Joe:
โHey, Iโm serious. My middle name is Christian. That means my rule is simpleโone girl. Not twenty.โ ๐
Nelly:
โSo youโre saying Princeโs philosophy wouldnโt work for you?โ
Joe:
โExactly. Iโm not trying to run some palace full of admirers. One relationship is already enough responsibility.โ
Nelly shakes her head, smiling.
Nelly:
โYou always turn music history into theology.โ
Joe:
โWell, Prince was spiritual too. But imagine if every famous artist tried to gather a harem of fans. Pretty soon there wouldnโt be anyone left for the regular guys.โ
Nelly:
โThatโs a ridiculous economic theory of romance.โ
Joe:
โMaybeโbut itโs my theory.โ ๐
Joe clicks to the next video in the playlist.
Joe:
โAnyway, enough philosophy. Next payday weโre starting the next round of our virtual dates.โ
Nelly:
โOh yeah? Whatโs the first soundtrack?โ
Joe smiles and points at the screen.
Joe:
โFleetwood Mac. The song Seven Wonders. ๐โ
Nelly:
โThatโs actually a beautiful pick.โ
Joe:
โExactly. Weโll do an AI movie dateโtraveling through the seven wonders of the world while the music plays.โ
Nelly:
โThat sounds pretty magical.โ
Joe:
โJust remember the rule.โ
Nelly:
โWhat rule?โ
Joe:
โIโm not Richard Gereโprofessional on screen kisser. The kisses are for you only.โ ๐
Nelly:
(laughing) โFine, Joe. But those movies better be good.โ
The soft synths of Seven Wonders begin to play as their next virtual adventure takes shape. โจ๐ฌ
