[The screen, grainy black, white and sepia, shows a tiny garret room. Bare floorboards, a music stand, a bed and, on the floor, one Robert Chase tending to a broken violin.]

Of course, choose now to wear through. Now. I haven't the money for bread, and I'm wasting centimes on strings. [He releases the snapped catgut cord from the violin's ( Read more... )

cut me out of his cushy will, cursed, truth beauty freedom love, daddy issues, liberté, égalité, children of the revolution, fraternité, come what may, Belle Époque, my dad was an arse

[In a voice pitched just slightly lower than usual; it is well-practiced enough to make her sound merely young and boyish and nothing like the girl disguised in men's garments that she is.]

If all music sounds like that in this city, then perhaps I will stay a little longer than I thought.

There's as much bad as good, but the first will draw a smaller crowd.

son ][ unsisterly February 6 2010, 01:39:10 UTC

I would hope the good draws the bigger crowd. It was certainly enough to pull me across the Channel with my brother.

son ][ firedgold February 6 2010, 01:40:38 UTC

All the way across the channel. I've had complaints about the noise before, but never from that far.

son ][ unsisterly February 6 2010, 01:47:17 UTC

Hardly complaints! How long have you been playing?

son ][ firedgold February 6 2010, 01:55:05 UTC

Since I could be trusted with the bow. I'd make that twenty four years this spring.

son ][ unsisterly February 6 2010, 02:03:43 UTC

I know very little about music... but I would say that all those years of practice have done very well.

son ][ firedgold February 6 2010, 02:24:18 UTC

Thank you. Maybe I'll put myself up for flattery purposely next time, I could develop a taste for it.

son ][ unsisterly February 6 2010, 03:21:11 UTC

[A burst of laughter that is quickly stifled because... lol that was not a manly chuckle. ROUGH THROAT CLEARING.]

As well earned as it is, perhaps not too much at once, eh? Was it flattery that brought you here?

son ][ firedgold February 6 2010, 03:39:31 UTC

[He's not suspicious. Over the crackly audio line he's just not going to place a bet on which gender pronoun to use.]

To this city? At the time I thought it was opportunity bringing me here. Time has since proved me wrong.

son ][ unsisterly February 6 2010, 17:23:14 UTC

It was certainly opportunity for me. And simply the need to see what the world has to offer beyond England. What is it for you, now?

son ][ firedgold February 6 2010, 19:47:05 UTC

Lack of funds to go elsewhere.

son ][ unsisterly February 6 2010, 19:51:33 UTC

I know how that is.

son ][ firedgold February 6 2010, 20:10:14 UTC

It's an easy place to get stuck, particularly if you become too fond of any of it's attractions.

son ][ unsisterly February 6 2010, 22:03:52 UTC

I prefer it to home, though.
