[ hey look, after meandering around the place for like three weeks, the guy is finally talking to people who aren't the ones he's meeting at random. gettaloadathat. ]

This is - unlikely in the highest degree, but does anyone happen to know where I can find a piano?

The hell do you want a piano for? I don't even know if there's a good place to keep one.

[ is that a trick question ]

There probably isn't. I'd settle for one of the little electronic ones you give eight year olds at Christmas, in the vague hope that they grow up and support themselves with it. I haven't found any other reliable sources of music either.

[ Well... ]

Can you blame 'em? Pianos aren't exactly easy to move around. And someone's bound to get stuck to their horn if they tried to play in weather like this.

[ No, he doesn't blame anyone. He's just... tired, and everyone had stuff going on back home, he's chatted with enough people to know that, but it's Christmas and he hates Christmas except under very specific circumstances that, currently, this place is keeping him away from. ]

So how do you guys vent?

[ He has to think about that one. It's been a while since he's felt able to, even. ]

I don't know. Argue like animals, board games, snowball fights...? [ His tone indicates he's only half-serious. ] Good place to find a hobby, bad if you had one already.

[ ... argue like animals? That's a new one. ]

Noted. I only had a few, but. No music, no cases - hard to find things to work on. [ There's a beat. ] Hard to find work in general, which is - slightly odd, given the givens. Beyond training, anyway. [ And hah training is a barrel of laughs when your weapon apparently has to do with the intangible. ]

You play?

[ of all the things someone wants, somebody has to look for a piano. ]

Tell me if you find out.

Do you play?

[ Leave him to his bizarre similes, okay!! ]

No cases? What do you do? [ Exsilium's lawyer game getting too strong. In agreement: ] It's not easy. By the look of it you don't find work but it can find you.

Here? Man, that's a long shot. Instruments were rare even in the old city. Somethin' that big'd be hard to keep in a place like this.

Dabble. Seems like I'm in a silent minority.

Can I get a name for the message?

Sometimes. Better than nothing.

I'm an attorney. You?

That sounds... unsettling, really, more than anything else.

Guess I was hoping maybe even a little one. If nothing else I suppose my suspicions have been confirmed.

I'd say that you can find pretty much everything you need on missions, but a piano? Might be a bit hard to lug over to the Transporter.

It is a little bit. I can't say you get used to it, either -- I know I haven't, but "shit just happens" is the new life motto.

I'm actually... also a lawyer.

[Hello, dude who looks a lot like Tony.

Saul meets the camera with a wry little smile, like he knows something the new guy doesn't know.

But! He'll be nice and spill the beans as a first-time-meeting courtesy:] There's a girl here named Ella Ellis who can make just about anything your heart desires. You could give her a call.

Oh yeah? Wouldn't have assumed there would be any particular need for litigation around here. Seems like you'd need... one of each, I guess. Prosecution or defense?

Bit less likely that someone would be able to make one, right? Predate half this other stuff, but still too complicated. Maybe I can find a glockenspiel.

[ saul you are the first person who actually has given him some good news

even if you are doing it with a weird expression on your face ]

Oh yeah? That sounds promising. She can make anything? She must love being stuck here.

[But it's such a handsome face, isn't it?]

Okay, let me backtrack — she can make a lot of things. Very talented, that girl. As for the sarcasm, I'm in no position to say whether or not someone "loves" being here.

[A pause, then:]

I don't think it's so bad.

[ Oh, to be sure. ]

Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. Call it a beginner's cynicism.

No, no — my apologies if that sounded harsh. What I'm saying is, things can get better.

[And then worse.

But then they get better!

...and sometimes they get worse again.]

I've been here for nine months, almost ten. The doom and gloom thing isn't doin' it for me anymore, unfortunately, so I've had to resort to alternate methods. Saul Goodman, attorney at lack-of-law, at your optimistic service.

Yeah, I'd be seriously surprised if someone just had a piano kicking around. People play music pretty much everywhere, though, so maybe stuff like... wooden recorders or drums or something could be kicking around.

A kindred spirit. [ a wry chuckle on his end. ] It'd be lovely to have one, I almost miss it—playing.
