Judas' expression changed to a deadpan one. "You can't be seriously thinking that Peter won't take this as a date. Don't be that kind of fucking dick. If you want to drive him off, tell him a lie, the truth, whatever, but otherwise you're gonna lead him on. I've seen this kind of crush before and that's exactly what you're after. Otherwise, just tell him. Tell him what you want. You realize at worst, he'll balk completely and your problem will be dealt with or he'll be into the idea and you'll have what you both want. Isn't part of that whole scene about laying out the ground rules? You tell him that you'd still be out fucking other people or whatever you plan to do... " He let out a breath. "Just be honest with him. If you don't, you're probably going to break his heart either way."

He glanced towards the bus, then shrugged. "Sound systems aren't the same as lighting. I'll put out the word on Facebook or-- shit, better yet, the Kickstarter email thing. Someone'll come forward if we ask, I'm sure of it."
