[As it's raining today, the old man has decided to do what he usually does, get drunk out of boredom. But it has been a while since he's used the journal for anything other than people watching, so he figured he should probably contribute to that mess that we call social interaction. He's been trying to figure out what he was doing the last time he

Do it. Then you can serenade me, post-crepe-feast.

[ she isn't strictly as cheery as she sounds, but she chooses to be upbeat when responding to the 'old man'. ]

[ voice ]

[crisis_rain]

[Then that makes two of us, darling.]

Serenadin' women after winning their hearts with my delicious cookin', ya know, this instrument idea doesn't sound half bad now.

[ voice ]

[slaying]

[ they co-conspire to be cheery. it's a thing. ]

See? My brain and your skills? You'll have all the women-folk lining up.

[ voice ]

[crisis_rain]

[It's opposite day then, everyone happy in Luceti is secretly miserable?]

Well then, do ya have any particular recommendations fer what kinda instrument I should try?

[ voice ]

[slaying]

Guitar. Oh! Or piano.

[ voice ]

[crisis_rain]

Isn't playin' a guitar completely different ta playin' a piano? [He looks at his hands, they're such manly handswondering how well he'd be able to play.]

[ voice ]

[slaying]

Sure? Probably?

[ as a player of neither, she's none too sure. ]

[ voice ]

[crisis_rain]

You have no idea, do ya? [A pause.]

Alright, how about which would look sexiest?

[ voice ]

[slaying]

A guitar's more conventionally sexy. But -- hmm, the piano can do the trick too, you know.

[ voice ]

[crisis_rain]

A piano has that... [Thinking for a moment.] That rich man vibe to it. Back home most nobles learned ta play the piano, or the violin, or some other instrument along those lines. The kinda instrument that people wearin' fancy suits and cravats would look good playin'.

I don't look good in a cravat.

[ voice ]

[slaying]

Or patched-elbow blazers, dark jeans, and tasteful scarfs. Bohemian trendy. With a Starbucks cup perched on the side of the piano bench.

[ voice ]

[crisis_rain]

I have no idea what bohemian or Starbucks is, but it doesn't sound like me, does it?

[ voice ]

[slaying]

...No, not really.

[ TIME TO TEASE. ] Maybe you need a banjo.

[ voice ]

[crisis_rain]

[You know what, I was hoping someone would say that because it's hilarious.]

Sittin' with a banjo on my porch, smokin' a pipe and shoutin' at kids who walk on my lawn?

[ voice ]

[slaying]

[ ~brainwave~ ]

I can see it now.

[ voice ]

[crisis_rain]

I'd rather not, I don't wanna feel any older than I already am... And a banjo is no good fer seranadin'!
