(30) Requiescat in Pace

[feline_sonata]

[Oliver has set the PCD on top of a piano, facing the ceiling. Those very familiar with Ginia's bar might recognize it. It is the only thing that can be seen, though after a moment, music can be heard. As the song ends, another begins, then a third, and a fourth. After a pause, the view bounces a little and there is a view of a hand, then it cuts

No, I just wanted to see if you're okay.

Can I do something for you, Kotoko?

[Text]

[laptopbells]

Ah, no. I was just checking. You seem to have something on your mind.

[feline_sonata]

I was just playing something for everyone...someone special in particular.

I do that sometimes.

[knight_within]

I see...

It's very lovely music, Oliver. But are you alright?

[Text]

[feline_sonata]

See what?

...some of it is from one of the greatest composers who ever lived, in my world, at least. The rest is just stuff I liked and learned, back home.

I'm fine. Why?

[unlucky_blood]

Feeling down?

[Text]

[feline_sonata]

A little, maybe.

But not as much as I thought I would be. Maybe playing helped.

What about you?

[Text]

[unlucky_blood]

It probably did help you in some way. Whether it took your mind off things or allowed you to vent something...well that's none of my business.

Me? I'm not feeling anything.

You're really acting like

Kaumi.

You're still alive. And you still have friends.

Life doesn't end when a relationship changes or goes away, even when you wish it did.

Ah, I apologize. We don't know wach other...but I couldn't help overhearing you...You have a lot of talent.

Don't worry about it. I shared it because music is something many people here seem to appreciate.

I just practiced a lot, is all.

My name is Oliver. What's yours?

[8symmetry8]

That's very generous of you. Back in my world, I have a friend who knows how to play as well. I've never heard him though since he dislikes playing for people.

All that work has really paid off then.

A pleasure to meet you, Oliver. My name is Death the Kid, although most just call me Kid.
