[The feed cuts in on... water, then there's a dull, hollow sound.] Ow. [Apparently Fred just managed to run into something. There's relative silence for a short time, filled with the sound of the shower running... and then Fred starts humming a low, hauntingly melodic tune. Either it doesn't have words, or she chooses not to sing them. After a

[Guess what, Fred. You have two Haros humming in chorus to your singing.]

[As for the third--]

Off key! Off key!

[followed by an urgent whisper.]

Haro-san, please don't interrupt.

[burntorangesky]

Oh, not this again. I thought you lot had given--

[burntorangesky]

[Waaaaait a second... that sounds like...]

3/3

[burntorangesky]

Ah. Hello, 00, Haros. [The water is still running, btw. Disembodied voices are no excuse to skimp on cleanliness.]

[books_and_toads]

That song you were humming sounds really pretty. Any idea what it is?

[burntorangesky]

[as;ldfjsad;lj HIM TOO? And yes, the water is still running.]

Ah... a song of my people, I am fairly certain. One meant for children, perhaps. I find it [a slight pause] somewhat comforting.

[books_and_toads]

[you're never safe, not even in the shower~]

It sounds like it's very soothing, so perhaps it is a children's lullaby or something similar.

[burntorangesky]

[Well. At least if she's in the shower, there's the sound of the water to drown a lot of other things out...]

Hard to say, without more concrete evidence one way or the other; but that is my guess, yes.

"Strumming on my old banjo!"

We need to hook you up with some better tunes.

[voice]

[burntorangesky]

[The shower sounds have stopped by now, and she sounds a bit put out.] I like this song. It's [pause] cheerful.

[voice]

[man_genius]

Have you even seen a banjo before?

[voice]

[burntorangesky]

[Sounding slightly defensive,] I know what it is. A stringed Earth instrument, generally used in [pause] the Americas.

[crimsonmischief]

Well, it's not exactly a private audience, but it'll do~

[burntorangesky]

[If you listen very closely, you may hear a small snort. She's ignoring you other than that.]

[crimsonmischief]

[It's okay, Crimson's never one to let something like that stop him.]

I think we should all go karaoking sometime~!

[burntorangesky]

[You---!

...you really don't give up, do you. A faint sigh.]

And who, precisely, does 'we' consist of?

[grab_my_bells]

[He's entirely too amused]

Strumming on the old banjo, hm? Is that what they're calling it these days.

[burntorangesky]

It is a song, Bell. I did not choose the lyrics, only sang them.
