[It's a theater - anyone could see that because of the amount of ropes, pulleys and backdrops all hanging around the place. Of course there were also the actors themselves, half out of costumes and makeup, lounging around the piano and various bits of furniture. The netbook was set up in such a way that it caught most of the people around, including a rather amused Takegami sitting at the piano it self. He was also not as fancy dressed as normal - longish hair curling around his face, arms bared and jewelry glinting on wrists and fingers.

One of the actors - a woman with wild hair and wilder face paint - leans in close to him and in a serious sing-song tone, starts talking.]

Seems a down right shame.

[Takkegami laughs and plays a couple chords.]

Shame?

What a nice, plump frame.

Frame?

Business needs a lift. Debts need to be erased. Seems a down right shame, with meat being as it is, what it is, if you get it?

Ah!

Good. You've got it.

[Takegami laughs yet again, and starts playing a version of this song, accompanied by the actor and he himself singing Todd's parts. Once done, he leans in to the netbook and blows a kiss at the watching public before turning it off.]

You do not think that the curls make me look rakish and younger?

[pouts but he is pleased. he would miss her if she did disappear.]

Oh, absolutely. You look like a total rebel like that.

[laughs softly and shakes his head.]

I do need a trim, I admit that the thought has crossed my mind in the last few days.

And then you saw the piano and forgot about it. [She's used to him forgetting about everything else when he starts playing.]

Mm. And of course, the good people of this theater wished to see just how many songs I do know.

If they insist on hearing them all, you're stuck there for days.

Months, I think one of the ladies said. Ah well, it is better to stay away from the apartment some days.

And away from your own building as well?

My building is a different matter entirely.

Hopefully. It took you enough time and effort to make it as it is, after all.

And it still needs some more work. Maybe if I can pry myself away from this group, I shall return today.

What about a tea and a chess game when you get back?

That sounds like a nice way to end this day.

[It's a nice way to end or begin any day if you ask Raven.]

Good. I'll see you then.

[A slight smirk.] Don't let your fans hold you back.

As fans, they should let me have my own time without their answering my needs.

You're sure you know what fans are?

I'm sure but I am not sure if the translation works with these people.

Probably not. People here are a bit weird.

I could sing the next part like Gollum.

Indeed. That might scare them off.

...Or they'll get worried and refuse to let you go until your voice is back to normal.

Well, I suppose I have to beg off with a prior engagement.

Good plan.

And if that doesn't work, tell them you might anger a very scary half-demon if you're late.
