vital star five.

[have a Dante sitting on the couch with a newly acquired old acoustic guitar, and he's idly strumming a few chords as he tunes it. after a while he seems satisfied with the sound of it, and begins to play a few tunes. why yes, he's rather aware that he's on the second level, and no he does not care too much.]

So, this is what you do with your free time?

[devilinred]

[shrugs, grinning.] Why not? I like playing. Got something against music?

[devilbrought]

Not really. No. Guess I'm just disappointed.

[devilinred]

I disappointed you? What did you expect me to do?

[devilbrought]

Be bored like I am.

[devilinred]

[laughs, amused at that.]

Sorry that I'm more creative than you when it comes to staying occupied, then. Maybe you should take up something.

[devilbrought]

I'd just be happy if there were some demons here. [but wouldn't mind a guitar but doesn't want to be a copier, grump-grump]

[devilinred]

Neither would I, but it looks like we're out of luck in that department. [shrugs, sighing.] Though I do miss having heads for decorations...

[ohay Nero - watch out, guitar coming your way! and not in the violent way.] Try it.

[devilbrought]

[?]

Heads for decorati--

[Ah~! And catch guitar ... and most we've seen is Nero airguitaring as a taunt >>; mean!mun says he doesn't actually know how to play, then]

[devilinred]

Yeah. I had demon heads pinned to the wall for decoration back in my office.

[sees him being all confused and stands, walking over.]

You have any idea how to play?

[devilbrought]

That's a choice.

[>\! .... :\]

Tch. 'Fraid not. This arm of mine might break the guitar somehow.

[Teenage!grr of don't make fun]

[devilinred]

[surprisingly, not going to make fun!]

Nah. There's people who've played the guitar with fingers missing and still been good. Sure you could work with it. Not too hard.

[aaaand taking one of his hands to start placing it correctly on the strings of the guitar. personal space? doesn't know the meaning of it.] Tip: those bars beneath the strings - the frets - not smart to put your fingers on or close to those. Makes the tune sound horrible.

[devilbrought]

[gasps all around, but touchy!Nero is touchy >\ ... though still appreciative of not being made fun of]

Great. I'm related to crippled people.

[personal space invaded; individual Dante; do not beat with guitar] Right. Wait, you're gonna teach me how to play this? Do I have to pay you?

[devilinred]

[snorts, grinning a little.] At least you're not related to comatose people.

Nah. Better ways to make money in this city. [after placing his fingers and hands right on the neck, he fishes in his pocket and pulls out a pick, holding it out.] Pick. Named for being used to, obviously, pick at the strings to play.

[devilbrought]

[Heh] Hooray for me.

[Aw, Dante can be nice and at least not calling him 'kid' -- points? And take pick before returning hands to where they should be on the guitar] Either way, in some weird way, I guess I owe you one.

[devilinred]

[shrugs as he sits on the table situated in front of the couch, arms and legs folded.] Just another way of passing time. Now c'mon - try playing something.
