Day 32: Music Room (4th Shift)
It had been so sudden, though welcome, when the announcement had said they could go to the Music Room! Brook was at least ten steps ahead of his nurse, too excited for words. What would there be?! He should be able to find that strange piano thing Luffy had mentioned, right?! "Here, it's here, isn't it?" like an excited child, he pointed into the room while waving at the nurse behind him.
"Yes, yes, you're welcome to go in, Mr. Rousseau," she breathed allowing him to go ahead in. There were already others in there, and she was running out of the energy to deal with him.
"Yohohoho!" Brook sailed in with a high laugh, then stopped dead and looked round. No, no violins, just like Luffy'd said. Not even another member of the string family. As for the piano... there was indeed something that looked similar, only far smaller. And on a stand! Whatever it was, it certainly hadn't been around when he'd been alive, but he could still pick it out as piano-like. Perhaps it had the same notes as well?! He went over and had a seat, carefully trying out the Middle C and finding it to be perfect! Not the exact same sound of a piano, but enough of a mimic. He could work with this!
But what to play?! Ah, what else?! Setting his fingers to the keys (what a feeling it was with skin again?!), he started playing out a softer version of "Bink's Sake", wondering if anyone else may recognize the tune. There had to be other pirates around here, right?
