Crisis 007 - [Video]

[bigass_sword]

[The Dreamberry turns on to the sound of barking and the sight of a big, black paw falling away from the screen, showing Zack sitting on his bed.

With an acoustic guitar.  Talus looks back at him as if he just hasn't turned on the device.]

Talus!  Careful, kiddo.  That's the only one I have.

[Talus barks again, tail wagging.]

Fine, fine, you seem to be

That was so cool, Zack! [Someone's impressed...not that it's hard to impress him about stuff.]

[bigass_sword]

[He chuckles.]

Really? I haven't played in ten years or so.

[skyofhope]

It's a whole lot better than anything I can do with an instrument. [Beating on drums randomly is not talent, after all.]

Well for someone who hasn't played in ten years or so I think it's wonderful!

[bigass_sword]

Thanks, Sora. I saw it in a store window and thought why not? You only live once.

[Or twice, in his case. Get an extension.]

[skyofhope]

You gotta live your life to the fullest too!

[Oh! Oh!! OH!!! He just had a brilliant thought!]

How do you learn to play songs on that thing?

I know nothing about guitar playing, so forgive any mistakes ^^

[bigass_sword]

Heck yeah!

[Brilliant or terrifying, Sora?]

Well, you have one hand here, on the doojiggey-

[He wiggles his fingers over the neck of the guitar.]

-and that's how you get the different notes. Then you strum with your other hand-

[He demonstrates it.]

-which gives you the actual sound. And that's the really basic basics. It takes a while to get used to, but eventually you form a muscle memory, which is how I think I can play as well as I can after so long. But at home, I would just experiment, see what note combinations I could make and memorize 'em.

lol, it would all go over Sora's head anyway.

[skyofhope]

[Brilliant for him...might be terrifying for Zack though.]

Doojiggey? Is that even a real word?

[It sounds made up even to Sora. Either way he waves a hand.]

That's not what I meant. If you heard a song then could you learn to play it or would you need sheet music?

Re: lol, it would all go over Sora's head anyway.

[bigass_sword]

[...Crap.]

Sure it is.

I never really had any tabs written down for me when I was growin' up, but I could probably pick up the music if I listened to a song enough times.

[skyofhope]

[You can't run and you can't hide from his planning, Zack.]

In who's language?

So... you could learn Christmas songs?

[bigass_sword]

[He'll just cast Wall on himself then. XD]

Fairese.

...Christmas?

[skyofhope]

[What's that gonna do for you? Not much.]

Thaaaat's what I thought.

Yeah, Christmas. [Oh right, Zack didn't know about Halloween so he must not know about Christmas.] It's another holiday. This one you get together with friends and family and celebrate being together. [Or something. :\ That's one of the only parts that matter to Sora.] You diiiiid get my invitation for a party, didn't you?

[bigass_sword]

[It's an effort. :|]

It's a noble language, I'll have you know.

That sounds nice. And I did, I just had no idea what it's celebrating.

[skyofhope]

[Sora will overcome it!]

Is it now? So noble that only one person knows and speaks it? [Oh so teasing.]

It is nice! My favorite holiday of the year. [Wait, back to the devious plot.] So if you learned some Christmas songs would you play them at the party?

[bigass_sword]

[Cryyyyy.]

It's pretty exclusive, too. Not everyone has the skills.

I could try. The party's on the nineteenth, right?

[skyofhope]

[Trapped in Sora's plan now~]

What kind of skills does someone need to be able to speak it?

Yeah, the nineteenth. If you could it'd be great but don't worry about it too much - we're all supposed to be having fun, not feeling stressed.

[bigass_sword]

[Doooooooooom.]

Fabulousness.

Get me some music and I'll see what I can do.
