*he's sixteen, curly-haired, and biracial, seated in a corner, an electric violin held under his chin. He salutes with his bow, waving it in a lazy circle before going into an exaggerated bend from the waist, almost touching his nose to the floor*

Hi. I'm Fiddler. You guys don't notice anything, I've been here for two days already and the first

*music + cute boy:female Samariaangels :: honey:flies* *thus, Fiddler gets a Joanna, looking fascinated by the violin because it isn't like anything she's ever seen before*

[adestefidelis]

*notices her watching* Bet you didn't know these were electric, did you?

[keepthesparks]

*a little hesitantly, with a somewhat sheepish smile that's still doing its best to be charming* Electric?

[adestefidelis]

Yeah, there's no body for the sound to reverberate in. So it's electric, see? I have to plug it into the amp for anyone to hear it.

[keepthesparks]

*attempts to grasp this past the first part and sort of fails* What -- does that mean?

[adestefidelis]

It means the sound comes out through there. *points to the amp*

[keepthesparks]

I see. *stares at it, then, somewhat awed* How does it do that?

[adestefidelis]

*shrugs, because he doesn't know exactly, not being an engineer* That's just where the sound's amplified.

[keepthesparks]

That's amazing.

[adestefidelis]

Yeah, no one knows about electric violins. *and plays a few bars, to illustrate how amazing they are*
