[018] I was searching, you were on a mission

[lyre_maestro]

Well, I started working a night job at this fancy restaurant place - entertaining people on the piano and stuff...  I guess I just wanted to be able to buy nicer things for people, now that...well...they're here.  If I know you well and you want a gift...you can come to my room and get it.  Really I don't know if you'll like it so that's why I don'

That ranks on the shady scale, sweetie. Get a jar with a lid, and let me or your mom know if he keeps sneaking your cash.

[lyre_maestro]

He has some like rule about tips or something like that...he gets some of everyone's cuts.

Maybe if I just don't put anything people will stop giving me money, I don't want to earn it that way anyways.

[inspiredvoice]

Management cannot accept tips, love, no matter what "rule" he's got.

I'm going to talk to your mom. She probably knows all the rules and regulations about this stuff

[lyre_maestro]

Oh, I see. Well, it's not like I'm being payed too little or anything.

I'd rather, avoid confrontation...

[sonofaeson]

Not usually. If he tries again, break your guitar over his head-I'll get you a new one.

[lyre_maestro]

I don't exactly bring that one with me...

[sonofaeson]

What do you bring with you?

[lyre_maestro]

Nothing...? There's a piano there already.

[brandedprince]

I want a gift.

[lyre_maestro]

Okay, well I did get you something. :)

[brandedprince]

You're a swell guy Orpheus. And who is this guy taking your money?

[lyre_maestro]

My manager I guess. Well, technically he's not taking my money because I didn't even want tips.

[pseudologos]

Yeah, babe, that's shady. Especially if he's already got a service charge on the bill.

[lyre_maestro]

Hm...

Well I don't know about the service charge - I think people just leave tips.

[pseudologos]

Some 'kind souls' or whatever do both.

[lyre_maestro]

That's sweet of them. :)

[_ametricmelody]

Well it seems that everyone so far thinks that it's "shady" at the very least.

I was just wondering... what instruments do you play?

[lyre_maestro]

At the restaurant? Piano.

[_ametricmelody]

I mean what instruments can you play? Aside from the piano.

[lyre_maestro]

Well, I made a lyre for myself, but I also dabble with guitars, basses, violins, cellos and I think I touched a trumpet once. That one didn't make much sense to me.
