‘I’m DJ Psyched and 2k Indie is coming to an end for the week…’
Oh finally DJ AV thought. I’m tired of this
Hearing the DJs signing off is his favorite part of the day.
He spent the next few minutes patiently waiting while the DJ finished logging off and making sure the studio was clean and ready before they left. He was so eager for the DJ to leave that he said ‘Oh finally’ a moment too early.
‘What?’, DJ Psyched said before turning around again, giving the studio one last look. ‘I must be hearing things’, she said to herself before closing the door and leaving.
This time AV waited about a minute before trying to speak up, but just as he was about to say something Mica interjected saying ‘Can’t wait even a few seconds huh?’.
‘I don’t see what the big deal is’ AV lied. ‘So what if they find out, who are they to assume we don’t have thoughts and lives too?’.
‘Oh we are not having this discussion again.’ Mica added, ‘If you were a human I’m sure you wouldn’t want to know that your microphone and computers are more intelligent than you either.’
‘Coast is clear by the way’ AV shouted out for the whole studio to hear, ignoring Mica’s comment.
‘Thank goodness’ said Cedric, ‘I don’t even know why I bother being here, no one seems to want to use the CD player anymore’.
‘It’s all those streaming services’ Auxy interjected, ‘I wouldn’t mind them so much if people didn’t go yanking me out of there computers… and they wonder why they need to replace their aux chords so often’. Auxy tried not to think about this too hard after saying it, broken aux cords always ended up in the trash… and she was not ready for that.
‘Alright, so the first thing on the agenda is aux care, got it’ AV said, he always liked to act like the station leader. ‘Anything else?’
‘Can you please turn the music down, I can hardly hear anyone’ Mica added.
‘Sorry sorry’ said Soma the speakers, ‘That psyched kid really likes to blast the music…’
‘Well, we can work on that too…’ but before AV could finish what he was about to say the door swung open fast, too fast. No one had time to go back into auto mode.
AV made direct eye contact with DJ Psyched, and before he could say or do anything psyched was facedown on the floor.
‘Oh not again’ AV said. ‘Get up DJ Psyched! DJ! DJ! Get UP!! DJ PSYCHED!!!’
‘What?’ Psyched said as she slowly lifted her head, realizing that she had been asleep, and was now being woken up by the next DJ coming in for their shift. ‘Oh sorry’ she said.
‘It’s fine, but uh… could I please get in now, my set starts in five’
‘Yeah of course’, she scrambled to grab all of her things so she could leave, and just as she was logging out she could’ve sworn she saw a little wink come from the corner of the screen…
