[Filtered away from Treize and Dorothy because the boy is not that dense]

Trying to stay off the Guide seemed like a good idea--best not to get attached to people when you can't be sure they'll stay.

[That, and having hair that refused to be anything but pink for three months after that one job? Didn't help the wanting-to-be-social business.

Comments

[pacifisted]

Yeah. Doesn't matter what they play.

[A beat.]

Several people have. That's how it goes.

[pacifisted]

Piano's fine. I like it.

[Condolences from someone he doesn't know? How does he work these? Cue another stretch of quiet while he figures out something appropriate to respond with.]

...It's appreciated.

[pacifisted]

Sometimes. When we're lucky--or they aren't.

And I play the flute.

[pacifisted]

Both can happen at the same time.

...Classical. Or [combing his memory for what Tank Girl called it that one time] 'acid jazz'. I think that's right.

[pacifisted]

Is it?

Do you have access to one?

[pacifisted]

[He frowns off-Guide. It's never occurred to him to look for one.]

Perhaps. It has everything else.

[pacifisted]

[ooc/been sick, picking up]

Sometimes too convenient.

It's easy to forget the price we've all paid to be here.

[pacifisted]

Just don't get too complacent.
