I have extra guitar strings if anyone needs them :) Since it's kind of hard to find them let alone pay for them all at once!
High E, G and D. Just one of each...

What is a "gee-tarr"?

[ He butchers the pronunciation ]

[eyecontact]

Say it like "gih-tar" :)
It's a musical instrument! It has six strings, a long neck, and a base that's usually made of wood. It sounds really nice!

oh god I give up on typing 8|

[weapabilities]

Oh uhm. Heh, thanks.

Music? Are you a musician?

[ Someone sounds excited. ]

I've heard many string instruments, but never one made of wood!

LMFAO

[eyecontact]

I do like to play yes...But I don't think I'm good enough to be a musician like some kind of pro!
Which ones did you hear before?

CRIES I swear I'm literate

[weapabilities]

Well, artists are often too hard on themselves. I wouldn't mind hearing, really. I mean if it's not rude to ask.

Oh, nothing from Earth, honestly.

I BELIEVE YOU

[eyecontact]

[OH...WELL...AUDIENCES.....SHARING...............

OH HEY LOOK AT THAT A TOPIC HAS BEEN CHANGED:]

You're from another planet?

[weapabilities]

[ That wasn't abrupt or anything. He won't bpry though. ]

Ahaha...

Yeah?

[eyecontact]

[hey you started it and thank goodness for that.]
There's a lot of people like that here for some reason...
Is the one you're from close by? Like Pluto or Mars?

[weapabilities]

Yeah, so I've noticed.

Oh no, no. I mean close in terms of the galactic neighborhood, but I'm from Cybertron.

[eyecontact]

I don't think I've ever heard of that one...It kind of sounds like it's full of computers because it has cyber in the name. What's it like?

[weapabilities]

Well, it is an inorganic planet for the most part. It's kind of a mess now, but it used to be sprawling and lively. It's inhabitants are what most humans might call 'robots', though that wouldn't really be accurate.

Guitar strings?

May I ask where you found something like that in good condition?

[eyecontact]

Oh...
It's kind of hard for me to imagine but it must be pretty amazing...

[eyecontact]

Sure! There is a small store in the city that sells mostly antiques but the man came across some strings and offered to sell me the whole bunch. :)
I'm not good at writing exact directions but I think I can draw out a map...

[salvagedsoul]

I would greatly appreciate it.

Recently I've found a very old piano in the outskirts and I'd like to repair it. Playing on a kayboard is just not the same.

[feel_nevermore]

Are you in your room right now?

[weapabilities]

Oh jeez, I don't know. I'm used to my own species, but a human might find it pretty novel. Much in the same way I feel about organics, I suppose.

[eyecontact]

OK, give me a minute...
Do you know how to fix pianos?

everprivate

[eyecontact]

Yes. Did you want to come over? Or want me to meet you somewhere?

[eyecontact]

You're a robot too?

[salvagedsoul]

Admittedly, no... but I understand how they work, and I have the time to figure the rest out.

[eyecontact]

They're awfully big...hopefully it's not too complicated. Maybe the same person who sold me the strings will know a thing or two about it? He did say he likes a lot of music...

[salvagedsoul]

The shopkeeper, you mean? Do you know his name?

[feel_nevermore]

Yes. I thought... You could play something for me.

[Totally not an excuse to spend time with you.]

[eyecontact]

I forgot to ask... :(
But he's pretty nice!
