Elwood Blues - The Blues Brothers

[ricochet_blues]

A man in his mid-twenties enters the hall, briefcase in hand, confused expression somewhat masked by a pair of sunglasses. Where the hell did the rest of the band go? He'll have to think about this. He's glad, at least, that he's got his briefcase and harmonica, and that there doesn't appear to be a force of cops waiting for him

How about a motorbike? Could you get one of those?

[ricochet_blues]

Sure could. Haven't had a lot of experience with 'em, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

[toujours_sirius]

Really? *is very, very excited* Could you get one that's not already charmed to fly? I'd like to do it myself.

By the way, there's a brilliant bar in Ravenclaw. Dunno what kind of 'gig' you're looking for, but you might be able to do it there.

[ricochet_blues]

Hey, man, I wouldn't know what to do with a flying motorcycle. *smiles* Might be fun to pick up one of those.

Really? Well, hey, that'd be nice.

Marius bows a polite greeting. "Bonjour Monsieur. I take it you are musician? I am quite fond of harp music. Perhaps I could hear you play some time."

((ooc; Marius is from 1830 France. A harp, to him, is an actual harp- one of the big wooden things with lots of strings))

[ricochet_blues]

Elwood tilts his head. "Good eveing to you, Sir....What kind of music d'you prefer?"

((OOC: Makes sense, heh.))

[marius_p]

"I'm rather fond of Baroque," Marius replied, with a small smile. "I get very little chance to hear it, though. I've heard the new romantic movement is lovely."

[ricochet_blues]

Elwood blinks, caught off guard before he comprehends the man's meaning. "Oh, all right, ah... Guess I wasn't clear enough. I play the blues harp. The, ah, harmonica." He points to his briefcase. "Sorry to have caused you any confusion." He'd run into the mistake before, just hadn't ever been entirely clear about it. "I've heard some Baroque, but I can't say that it's my favorite." It had been heard at the Penguin's insistence, and though it hadn't been as bad as Jake had said, Elwood had never much gotten into it.

"A musician, hm?" Robin's eyes lit up and he bowed a little, extending his hand. "Robin Goodfellow, at your service. What sort of music do you play, my good sir?"

[ricochet_blues]

Somewhat awkwardly, Elwood shook the man's hand. He was glad to have been met with a friendly face, but wasn't sure what might turn up. "Mostly blues, rhythm and blues, soul. Do you play, Mister Goodfellow?"

Franz is back to himself after his brief Woosterfication. Don't ask him about it, though; from his perspective, nothing ever changed. And he's thrilled at Elwood's application.

"You are musician?" he asks. "I am srilled!"

(Told you.)

"Vhat inshtruments do you play, Herr Elvood? Vhat kinds of moosic? I am Broadvay composer, und I am alvays on ze lookout for new talent."

[ricochet_blues]

Despite the man's apparent enthusiasm, Elwood watches him warily. He's had unpleasant encounters with Germans. He nods, tipping his hat to the man. "Good day to you, Sir. I, uh, I play the blues harmonica with our band, the uh..." He catches himself, wondering whether this man might be somehow connected with the others. Better to be safe about it. "With our band. Never met many Broadway men."

If you're offerin' to swipe cars I think you should know that one of the professors here has a pretty sweet Bentley. It's one hell of an automobile, might be worth lookin' into.

[ricochet_blues]

Sounds like it'd be worthwhile. You interested in the car for any reason, or just suggesting?

[anthony_crowley]

((Er, just so you know, it's a 1926 Vintage Bentley and anyone who touches it without permission loses a hand. Fair warning. They might be able to reattach it in the hospital, but then you'd have a really pissed off demon to deal with. XD))

[ricochet_blues]

((XD Yeahhhh, that might be a bad thing. >.> Thanks for the warning, and I s'pose this is where Elwood's glad that he usually checks these things himself before acting. Crowley concerns him a little too much to be theft-worthy. ;) But aye, pissed off demons not so much fun. Danke.))
