Dayshift 42: Mountain Antiques - Morning
[from here]
Klavier flashed a bright smile at said owner as soon as he walked in. A woman. How fortunate. Women tended to be easier to speak with. He wouldn't be so rude as to just barrel over and start interrogating Frau Antiquität, so he figured he'd at least pretend to look around at her wares first. Besides, he could get a better idea regarding this 'reality,' as people put it, if he looked at what they considered antiques.
He wasn't terribly impressed at first. Statues, useless knick knacks, pots, wall fixtures... Nothing very intriguing or telling, quite frankly. Then, his heart almost stopped. There to the side... Oh, she could have been the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. An exquisite Mahogany acoustic guitar sitting by itself in a place like this. What a crime. Klavier found himself over there and with the instrument in his arms before he'd even realized he'd left his spot.
Horrible. Horrible. The strings were loose. He didn't even need to run a finger across them to tell they hadn't been tuned in a while. That was a travesty in and of itself. Thankfully, he could easily tune by ear, and it was quiet enough in here to do so. Without thinking to ask permission first, he set to work meticulously tightening and tuning each individual string. Amazing how something like that could be so utterly relaxing. All the stress from that week completely vanished.
He'd engrossed himself completely in the task until the strings resounded with a sound that could be described as nothing less than perfect. Gorgeous sound, this one. Absolutely lovely. He softly strummed the strings a few times before switching quickly to a song. It was a softer song than he was accustomed to playing, but this was an acoustic after all. One had to play music most befitting of the instrument.
[Free. Limit: Any. Klavier is going to be here playing guitar all day. People are free to enter and exit his thread as they wish. He will take requests if anyone has them and if he knows the song/music style requested. However, things like Linkin Park will be not-so-politely ignored. To the NPC mod, I got mod permission for this and was told this would be okay as long as he doesn't leave with the thing, and he's not planning to.]
