[6] Video: Puttin' on the Ritz

[pricesandvaules]

Droog is standing in an empty office area, surrounded by a maze of unmanned desks and empty cubicles. For a moment he stands, tapping his heel, finding a beat. Then he hops on top of a desk, draws his cue with a flourish, and begins knocking the flimsy cubicle dividers down, leaping from desk to desk, all the while whistling an upbeat little tune

[Ryuho is at his desk, plucking a simple tune with rubber bands. He has to concentrate because he's lost his sense of touch, but somehow he can hear how the rubber bands should feel.]

Ahaha matching powersss. Droog lost touch and gained a sense of rhythm.

And BAM, down falls Ryoho's cubicle. Droog stops for a moment, surprised to find that the room is occupied after all. Not that he's going to apologize or anything.

Working on something?

Woot, the no sense of touch bffs lol

[Ryuho looks up, but his expression doesn't change at all.]

The music room is gone.

He gestures at the rubber bands.

Pretty pathetic instrument.

[calculatedfire]

It's a pathetic place.

[pricesandvaules]

Start again. Let me listen.

[calculatedfire]

[He stretches the bands between his fingers and plucks them, moving his fingers to change the tension and the sound.]

oh geez I saw your drop notice. no pressure if you don't want to play this out bro <3

He shuts his eyes and holds out a hand, moves it gently as if caressing good silk.

Not bad.

I hate dropping threads, so if you want to continue, I will.

I wish my violin was here.

Happy to! <3

[pricesandvaules]

A violinist. Iiiiiinteresting. Have a sidelong look, Ryuho.

Classical your style?

[calculatedfire]

For the most part.

[pricesandvaules]

How's your feel for rhythm?

[calculatedfire]

It seems to have improved.

[pricesandvaules]

Think you could drum?

[calculatedfire]

I'm sure I could.
