[What started out not to be Emma's day was only going to get worse. Once again, she retreated to the confines of her safe home to avoid getting shanked or touched or given death threats during the event, but she still has to come out for food and supplies. Curse her human functions. When she passes the fountain, though, she spills her bag of

[Jack can't help hearing this powerful, heartfelt song over the journals. Oh, it surely makes him wish he had his fiddle. But he doesn't, so after Emma is done singing, he echoes the melody on his pennywhistle.]

Interesting song, miss.

((Genderbent undertheanchor. He recognizes you, but you might not recognize him.))

[couldhavedanced]

Yes, it's...very interesting. Wait, did...you just hear it over the journal?

[itsnotasock]

[... Oops?] I hope it wasn't meant to be private, for I heard it clear as anything.

[couldhavedanced]

Actually, it wasn't supposed to happen at all.

[boomchucka]

Thaz a pretty song.

[couldhavedanced]

Thank you? I mean, thank you. I think.

[boomchucka]

You're welcome! Matron always said to say that.

[couldhavedanced]

Matron? Oh, I...see, it's always very nice to use your manners, she's right.

[She's just staring down at them now.]

Believe me, I'm just as horrified as you are.

[harveyinmyhead]

[Getting back to reality here.]

That one's new. For a second I thought I was in the bizarro singing universe. [But he kneels down, scooping up some of the stuff.] So I take it you don't take Broadway to the streets that often.

[couldhavedanced]

Oh. Um, thank you. [She doesn't have the heart to tell him she'll end up disposing of it since it's so dirty now.] Nope, just...one of those experiments, I think, I don't even like speaking in public.

[Ignoring them in favour of commenting. Nicely.]

That's a nice song.

[Voice]

[couldhavedanced]

Thank you, but...I really didn't mean to sing it.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

The experiment got to you?

[Voice]

[couldhavedanced]

Unfortunately.

[sittingtype]

... Err. Emma?

[ voice ]

[couldhavedanced]

That's the second time this has happened to me!

[ voice ]

[sittingtype]

Are they always power ballads?

[ voice ]

[couldhavedanced]

Actually, the last one was a Christmas carol.
