[Voice/Action] Forward-dated to Tuesday afternoon

[skulljokelol]

While this may not be the best time for it, for those of you who have agreed to piano lessons, I have one of my own now if you would rather practice on it instead of the one at the Seventh Heaven. [Some people aren't fond of practicing in such a public place, after all.] Thank you again, China-san, for crafting it. It plays beautifully!

Oh, and

[Finally, someone with some class. Dist tunes in to all the beautiful songs played for various individuals, and it calms his nerves immensely, especially after working so hard lately. Anise's doll was taking him much longer than he anticipated to repair, even for him.

Uttering a quiet sigh, Dist pulls his journal close and even smiles a little. Instrumental and classical music, especially piano, had always been a favorite of his.]

You are quite talented, sir. I see you're giving away lessons as well. [Yes, that is a shred of interest in his voice. Learning piano would be kind of awesome.]

[Voice]

[skulljokelol]

Thank you kindly! It is a musician's job to please the ears, after all!

And I am, as a matter of fact! Would you be interested in taking some lessons?

[Wait a minute. Was that a skeleton he saw? Dist removes his glasses, rubs his eyes, and blinks. Why, yes! Yes it was a skeleton! A...talking skeleton. Who played beautiful instrumental music.

Yeah, you know what? He's not even going to say anything at this point. Dist's seen odder, and has concluded this place had all manner of oddities. Plus, the, uh...skeleton was being polite.]

...Indeed. I've not heard such music in a very long time, you see. It was quite, ah..refreshing to hear.

[Oh, Yulia, what has he gotten himself into, now. Be brave, Saphir!] Y-Yes. I am! Wh-When could we meet, sir? I must apologize, but I am also working on a project, so my time may be limited...

[Voice]

[skulljokelol]

Oh, whenever it is most convenient for you would be fine! We all have other business to attend to after all.

[Doesn't he sound so oblivious to your plight? |D]

[Later in the afternoon, Katara is lying in bed. Sokka's in the room, and her eyes are still hurting and just... lying there. Feeling the mushi move is really... really lousy. Yay for voice posts in journals. Her voice is a little weak, but the tone is regular - her eyes are closed, after all. The pain is not so bad that way, even if she refuses to cover them with anything else. She won't help the blasted things trying to feed in her.]

Some music would be really nice, Brook.

[ Voice ]

[skulljokelol]

[Brook's tone of voice takes a very gentle turn for Katara - he's glad to hear from her.]

Anything that you would like, Katara-san. How are you feeling?

[ Voice ]

[markofthebrave]

[A pause in which there is a brief war between her innate communication patterns of honesty and optimism.]

I'm going to be fine.

[...]

How are you?

[ Voice ]

[skulljokelol]

[That's not quite what he asked, is it? He's not going to press though. Having mushi swimming in your eyes can be nothing but painful, he's sure. So he'll just encourage that optimism briefly before changing the subject.]

Of course. Ginko-san seems to know what he's doing, after all.

And I'm quite all right - thank you for asking. Do you have a preference for the piano or the violin?

[Voice]

[lukanight_fever]

Bink's Sake.

[Luki's request is done in a neutral and distant tone, almost as if he's waiting for something. Actually he's just checking if Brook's music would be the key to get Luka back out. So he doesn't even bother to introduce himself or anything.]

[Voice]

[skulljokelol]

One request for Bi- Oh! You know the tune Bink's Sake?

[Voice]

[lukanight_fever]

I do, it's not such a rare song.

[Though he only says it because the song is in his database, it's true Luka already had it in her database even before she met Brook.l]

Could it be the slow version?

[Voice]

[skulljokelol]

It wasn't in my day. Not as many know it now.

[Playing the ballad!]

[earthrumblegod]

Play something happy for me?

[skulljokelol]

Of course! There will be no songs of melancholy today.

Do you have a preference for which instrument I should use? [He thinks he's shown you a song on the piano at least once, a long time ago.]

[earthrumblegod]

Not really. Anything's good, as long as you play it good.

[skulljokelol]

'As long as I play it good?' Yohohoho! Toph-san! I accept that challenge. [He can play anything well, and he knows it. And so he gets his violin and plays this.]

[markofthewise]

[Another depressed Gaang member.]

Can you play the flute?

[skulljokelol]

I can, as a matter of fact. It's just a tad more difficult for me to play than some instruments.

[Buuut he'll play. You kids are so down today. And he does have one lying around somewhere.] Do you have a song in mind?

[markofthewise]

Just something easy to follow, really. [Trying to learn a tune might be a welcome distraction especially when Sanji comes calling.]

[skulljokelol]

Something simple then. [And thus probably short. There's some sounds as he looks for his flute, and then he takes a seat once he's found it.] Hopefully this will do.

[Have a short song. Like he said - it's difficult for him to play the flute, otherwise he might have gone for something longer. Still might if the mun can find more, but this is a good warm up.]
