[When the feed turns on, there’s a stage. For those who are familiar with it, it’s the stage available in Freyr. After a moment, a girl—Santana—walks into view, and then a guitar starts strumming. The song may sound familiar to some, as it’s a certain Carly Simon ditty.

She smiles after a moment, grabs the mic, and when it’s time, begins singing (sample of voice):]

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...

[After a moment, the person playing the guitar steps into view. It’s Sam Evans. The two of them come together in the chorus, though they stand in opposition with one another, with Santana coming to stalk around him like he’s prey.]

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?

[After a moment, Santana falls back into position across from him, and Sam begins singing (sample of voice):]

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and…

[They’re about to bust into a chorus—in fact, their voices angrily pouring into You’re so vain! begins—when someone approaches off screen. Santana and Sam stop singing at the same time, and Santana’s scene rushing toward the feed to shut it off, a] What the hell?! [heard just before it cuts short.

The camera may have flashed to a certain Erica before that happened. Yeah, she probably looked a little different.]

Hold that thought.

Are you sure one of us wasn't more brilliant? [ Gotta use your assets when you're desperate, right? ]
