[ Takegmai has found a small dusty instrument shop in the city. After all the rioting and the recovery with the rioting, he seems to be in a reflective mood as he wandered the instruments. Upon finding a piano, he takes a few minutes running through the chords before the video feed is turned on and the netbook is set to where people can hear him play. The feed shows mainly part of the piano lid and Takegami's face.

His face is as serene as it could get, and the music is like falling rain, full of promise and regrets. After the last notes fade, he sits for a moment, eyes still closed before sighing softly. ]

A pity there is no room in the apartment. [ His mouth twists; roommates. Taking up valuable space with their noise and mess. ]

It seems they are still bringing people in to fight this war. I had hoped they would start explaining matters better but I see they are not. So. I propose those that been here the longest put together a... Guide of sorts for others to read. It will make things a little easier and less repetitive.

Or so one hopes.

[ A nod, and he turns the netbook off. ]

Another one of your numerous hidden talents?

I didn't know it was that hidden. Most hosts do have one or two talents other then the ability to drink a large quality of alcohol.

[A shrug.] Well you do play well. That's what I meant.

I was taught to play as a child and picked it up again as part of a competition. [ He is just a little competitive, that's all. ] It just stuck.

What's the name of that piece?

I call it 'Misty'.

Appropriate.

[ Martin appears on camera with his hair tied into a half-ponytail and reading glasses, half-focused on the book he's thumbing through and the camera in front of him. ] I believe John Watson is writing a guide.

Is he now? This is the first I have heard of it.

He mentioned it in passing while we were at the clinic. I wanted to write a guide, but then I realized it would read like a sermon. [ Also, he has no time. The pursuit of knowledge is much more satisfying. ]

Because of what you are used to when speaking in public?

That, and because I don't have the time to write a guide.

Oh? Work at the clinic being rather strenuous?

Cue cards go a long way.

[ his eyebrows raise ]

Providing a theme song?

Edited 2012-07-01 23:01 (UTC)

It makes it easier, I can grant you that.

No. I just felt in the mood to play.

So there's riots and concert pieces before I've even had lunch. You Initiative transports really know how to party.

Well, we cannot let the new people miss out on all the fun times.

Glad to be included. I'll see if I can dig up some kazoos for next time.

Any particular reason there's rioting? Other than the oppression and whatnot.

Kazoos? Why stop there?

Oh they were blaming us and the Initiative for causing problems with them. The usual sort of angry mob mentality.

Totally won't protest to a guide. Something written by someone who isn't a scary lady who hands me weapons. Where are you from, exactly?

I come from Tokyo in Japan on Earth. The year was 2007 and a rather wicked heat wave had been broken as well as several gruesome murders had been solved.

I did not find her scary at all.

Oh. Well. No, you wouldn't, would you, what with all the corpses looking disgusting and the murders and all.

Yes... It had been most gruesome even with the press making it more shocking.

Right. Well. Yes. So! A newcomer's guide. Started working on it yet? Need help?

I've been told that one John Watson is making one. Of course, since he is a doctor, the going has been slow.
