¤ 38 - Musician

[honorinflames]

[his voice is a little somber as he addresses the journal, but it's still far from the dour tone he usually has. He sounds simply thoughtful.]

You know what really surprises me? There are all these people here from all kinds of different worlds, so many talents, a whole big music room right at our disposal... and there aren't more bands here.

Especially in a place like this, where it can get kind of depressing sometimes, music can really brighten people's moods, you know? I learned a long time ago that even on something like a warship in the middle of the cold ocean, people getting together to play music can make it seem a little more like you're back home. Just for a little bit.

[and so, he settles down where he's at in the music room with his tsungi horn, and begins to play. It isn't exactly a cheery tune, but it is music, and it is Zuko playing it. ...There is definitely something still wrong with him.]


[[ooc: last post for Zuko's happyface loss!]]

Comments

Dictated. Angrily.

[i_got_this]

Did it ever occur to you some people might enjoy a little peace and quiet?! [She's a little testier then normal, but Zuko; 'Welcome to South Dakota'.]

[honorinflames]

[he sounds completely unfazed by her tone!]

If it's really bothering you, you could always shut the journal.

[i_got_this]

What if I'm trying to read something else, dipshit? [Really, she just wants to complain, and his happy little tone is just fueling the fire.]

[sexyhitchhiker]

[she can't decide if she should be worried or if she should be making fun of him. On one hand, this loss has been going on for a really long time. If this was permanent, it would be more than a little weird. And none of the other lobster bite victims had gained sudden and rather dramatic shifts in personality.

............On the other, this would be hilarious material if he ever goes back to normal.

Well, the obvious answer would be to hedge her bets. So she goes down to the music room with her hand-dandy camera phone. She's totally going to video tape this. While checking up on him. Yup.]

Hey.

[honorinflames]

[he sets down the horn and gives her a wave and a smile!]

Oh, hi!

[sexyhitchhiker]

[she attempts a smile back, but it's more a grimace.]

So are you going to form a band?

[kungfuwitch]

[Waaaaaaaaait. That sounds like Zuko. That sounds a LOT like Zuko... but something seems very very off.]

I didn't know you could play.

[honorinflames]

[taking a break so he can answer the journal]

Yeah... I refused to play for other people for a long time.

[kungfuwitch]

You did? Why?

1/3; dictated obvs

[bolder]

You're a great tsungi hornist!

2/3

[bolder]

[.... wait.]

Zuko?

3/3

[bolder]

Do you take requests?

[honorinflames]

[first, he answers without thinking] Sure!

[...and then he thinks about it. the voice sounds familiar, and she knows what a tsungi horn is?]

...Wait, who is this?

[ruined_jaw]

I tried once upon a time, but never got any responses.

Though I'll agree with ya about how music can brighten up dark times. It's part of the reason I still play.

[And a few seconds later, Jono will strike up a tune of his own.]

[honorinflames]

Maybe this place has something against musicians.

[and then settles to listen for a little bit]

[ruined_jaw]

Could be. Seems to go through 'em quick enough.

Never knew you were a musician though. Kind of a pleasant surprise, to be honest.

[eraserfied]

[Ari doesn't pay that much attention to Zuko, because he never learned how to play music and he doesn't see much point to learning when he could go home and go back to being dead any day now. But he will listen to him play anyways because he likes listening to music. He'll wait until the song is over though before quietly adding his 2 cents.]

It sounds sad...

[not that he really minds sad sounding songs, because he get's sad sometimes too. Okay so a lot of times.]

/replies to this a million years later

[honorinflames]

[at a break in the song, he breathes a small sigh]

It is, a little.

/also replies a million year later

[eraserfied]

[... l o n g a w k w a r d s i l e n c e ...]

It's still nice though...

[thebutz]

[Well. Considering Larry's current handicap/talent, he finds it pertinent to join in with a really jamming beat. Better than being silent all day, right?]

[honorinflames]

[i-it takes him a second to get... what is even going on there... but okay! he'll try to roll with it!]

[waterbends]

... still not back to normal, huh?

[honorinflames]

Hey, you said wait a week, right?

[formercheerio]

Music can do a lot but not everything.

[honorinflames]

It's a start at least, right?
