KEYBOARDIST: Erosion? Is that the cave club? I'd love to rock a cave! (laughs)
BASSIST: I hate to endorse any pun, but yeah. The acoustics are perfect.
SINGER: Voting rights for whales is a step toward global equality.
BASSIST: Whales will make better choices than humans do. They should be able to vote.
GUITARIST: They will. No one is trying to stop it. So... we'd have a sure hit!
DRUMMER: While you all (doing something in short time), I created two complete percussion tracks.
DRUMMER: We can have a Shore Party...

= DISCUSS_STANCE
/* Discussion about the STANCE the band is taking based on vocal choice, and whether the instrumental choices are right for the stance.
Any characters who are not on board with the chosen stance can express reservations and/or try to convince the band to change the stance.
This is the crux of the argument...
A) Acculturation (whales maintain their culture, eg. language, and humans learn to speak Whaleish), or
B) Assimilation (whales must communicate using land-dweller language b/c humans can’t learn it).

GUITARIST: I... didn't know you could make those sounds, Darcy.
BASSIST: I think you just said "blow it out your hole"?!
BASSIST: Just kidding. You sound great.
KEYBOARDIST: OooooOOOOOooo! That wasn't me doing whale. That was me impressed!
KEYBOARDIST: But I hope the Whales don't find out I failed Conversational Whaleish. #THOUGHT
SINGER: I mean, the whales might roast my pronunciation... but, thanks.
KEYBOARDIST: Sing it in Whale! That would make such a SPLASH! Haha!
GUITARIST: Woah. That feels like a big risk for our first song.
GUITARIST: And if we alienate people, it won't matter how important the message is. #THOUGHT
GUITARIST: It is important, though. And it could make a splash, like Fern said. #THOUGHT
GUITARIST: But, if the whaley sounds get all the attention... no one will even notice me. #THOUGHT
SINGER: You don't think I can do it?
GUITARIST: Hey, if anyone can do it, it's you. But people might call it a gimmick.
GUITARIST: And we don't want to say the wrong thing. Right?
BASSIST: I don't think Darcy would write gibberish in any language.
BASSIST: But Whales don't need to hear this message. Humans do.
BASSIST: Humans don't even listen to human voices. They'll tune out Whaleish completely. But... #THOUGHT

+ [I doubt Darcy will do it. Even though...]

BASSIST: It could make a... splash. #THOUGHT
BASSIST: I hope that's the last pun we get from Fern. I almost laughed. #THOUGHT
GUITARIST: Yeah. That, too. Whaleish might confuse them.
SINGER: It sounds like we all want to say the same thing.
SINGER: So, the issue is the lyrics. Whaleish or no whaleish.
