[ it opens with the sound of walking, the creak of a door opening followed by hard soled shoes on an old wooden floor. there's a creak of a lid opening, and then the scrape of a chair across the floor. There's a pause without sound and then there is a song. After it's done, Takegami plays a couple simple scales and then sighs. ]

That was an interesting interlude. Do try better next time, mm? I think I lasted a good two minutes laying in that alley. Mind, I am still pissed about my jacket.

[onemoredeath]

Sanity is in the eye of those who says it is. I am sure that other races would call them differently.

[has_a_cult]

[onemoredeath]

Hardly. There is a human condition that is pure brain function with no emotional baggage.
