[The feed begins with a high-pitched squeal like air being forced through a pipe.]

I don't know who's instrument this is, but it's not mine or any of my friends.

If any of you noodlebrains want it, we can probably work something out.

[There's a short flash of skewed video showing a slim metal pipe, and then the feed cuts out.]

[... is that what Tony thinks it is? Because it sure looked like it could be. Actually, he's pretty sure it is.]

I'm pretty sure that's, ah- that's mine.

[rocklikerunaway]

Yeah?

Who're you?

[irredemption]

[There's a short pause.]

Tony Shepherd.

[rocklikerunaway]

[A short pause to match it.]

You're the guy who beat that lady up!

[No-one she knows, so it's not like she cares. And if he's no good, then this could work for her.]

[fallintheriver]

[Ow that noise.]

You're murdering it.

[Audio]

[rocklikerunaway]

What's the matter, can't handle a little noise?

[Audio]

[fallintheriver]

I don't want to listen to that racket.

[Audio]

[rocklikerunaway]

So close your book.

[Audio]

[storyofhowidied]

Noodlebrains, huh?

Anyway, can I just suggest you don't try playing it again?

[Audio]

[rocklikerunaway]

You can suggest it all you want.

[Doesn't mean she'll do it.]

[Audio]

[storyofhowidied]

Well, somebody thinks for themselves.

You sound young, too. Growing up well, then!

[Audio]

[rocklikerunaway]

You sound old. Maybe you should think about learning to brew tea.
