a u d i o / a c t i o n

[ -- the device clicks on to the dim bustle of some shop through the muffled pocket, and Peter in the middle of his sentence: ]

--well I'll think about it, I suppose.

The .... Clocks, was it?

[ Some further exchange but too muffled to be articulate and then Peter's voice, again considerably clearer: ]

All right then.

I'm sure Susan heard ( Read more... )

What about the clocks?

oshutup September 15 2011, 01:26:14 UTC

They're playing - tonight.

I hadn't heard until now.

treadingdawn September 15 2011, 01:27:24 UTC

The clocks play every hour if you would pay attention.

1/2 oshutup September 15 2011, 01:29:39 UTC

[ EXCUSE YOU. ]

oshutup September 15 2011, 01:30:27 UTC

I pay perfect attention.

[ LOOSE definition of perfect.... ]

The Clocks are a musical group of some kind.

treadingdawn September 15 2011, 01:33:53 UTC

Perfection loosely defined, perhaps.

[Hah. Oh wait, he means a band. Caspian knew that.] What a curious name.

oshutup September 15 2011, 01:36:27 UTC

Should I gift you with a dictionary for better judgment?

[ If Peter rolls his eyes, it's not personal.

Well, okay maybe it is, but the smile sort of undermines it. ] They're supposed to be quite good. Have you heard anyone live since arriving?

treadingdawn September 15 2011, 01:44:26 UTC

Only if you're to pen it by hand.

I paid a vagrant string quartet on the street to play something festive.

oshutup September 15 2011, 01:45:43 UTC

I'll pen it on your hand, if it comes to that.

...you didn't.

[ He's staring at you, Caspian, because he really can't quite tell if you're pulling his leg or not. ]

treadingdawn September 15 2011, 01:52:37 UTC

Yes, I did. I'm sure they've enough for a meal between the four.

oshutup September 15 2011, 01:56:33 UTC

How generous of you.

[ Mild Sauce. ]

What piece did you have them play, specifically?

treadingdawn September 15 2011, 02:10:46 UTC

Well I respect the local culture and being foreign myself I wouldn't ask them to play something I know. I requested whatever it was they felt appropriate for a spirited session, they played a Black Betty.

oshutup September 15 2011, 02:15:06 UTC

[ It takes him a second to draw it to mind but he nods when he does. ] And did you like it?

treadingdawn September 15 2011, 02:35:18 UTC

It was festive and very lively. Of course I liked it.

oshutup September 15 2011, 02:42:40 UTC

I was trying not to assume.

[ For once... ]

So. Are you going, tonight?

treadingdawn September 15 2011, 02:43:44 UTC

I have never heard the clocks play in the way this vagrant string quartet did. I think I shall.
