Is there anyone here who's musically inclined or at least knows a lot of songs? I'm currently looking for a few more to add to my repertoire.

I play the lute, if anyone's asking, and I'm alright at it, but I'm getting some comments like "why are there so many songs about murder" and "why does the only one that isn't about murder involve someone eating their own shit" and I'm starting to think I need to diversify a little bit.

1) I'm shocked, but it's an instrument with a bunch of strings and you pick at the strings and also it's got a neat handle so you can carry it around?

[How does someone not know what a lute is]

2) no

[relieable]

so its a guitar???

[bloodyroses]

Uh, no?

That's different

wait

I could just show you if you've got the time?

[relieable]

ive got time!
id like to see!

[bloodyroses]

Alright. I'm over in the dorms, so you can just come on in.

Or maybe I should just go over to the common area?

[relieable]

oh the yoshiwara dorms?
thats where i am too
ill meet you in the common area in a few mins!

[bloodyroses]

Alright, I'll start heading over.

[ She's gonna pick up her lute and head down, then. ]

[a nod to himself, once he gets her message. then he gets his drink and heads over to the common area. he's looking for someone who is holding a guitar.

no one. but there IS someone with another instrument! he comes over, one hand holding the juice, the other hand in his pocket]

Hey! Is that the lute?

[bloodyroses]

Yup! Thought I'd lost it when I got pulled over here, but turns out all my stuff just kinda got shuffled around.

[ She holds it a little closer to him so he can inspect it. It's a pretty well-made instrument, carved out of spruce, as lutes often are, and sure, it's got a few signs of wear, but fuck it. Cordy loves this thing. ]

[relieable]

[he definitely wants a closer look! it’s sort of like a guitar, but not at all what he was expecting!]

Man, that’s so cool! I’ve never seen one of these before.

[bloodyroses]

Really?

[ She's just a bit intrigued. ]

They're pretty common where I'm from. My uncle taught me to play, and I'm nowhere near as good as he is, but whatever, it's fun.

[ She's going to play a few notes for Oso! ]

[relieable]

[he's definitely never heard one, nor has he heard this particular song. it sounds very foreign to him... or, perhaps just really old? he's not sure, and it's rude to ask]

Y'sound pretty good to me! Was that song about murder?

[he's joking. probably. though she did say...]

[bloodyroses]

Dude, I honestly forgot the words, so like, it could be.

Of course, I could just play one about murder too if you want.

[relieable]

[oh, he likes this one. she's funny]

That's okay! ...I don't know a whole lot about music, but I hope you find more songs for your repertoire! Maybe some people will be able to help you out. It'd be easy to show you my favorite songs if we had the internet here, but...

[bloodyroses]

...I mean, you could try singing.

[ She's pretty sure technology still allows for that, and she's curious even if he sucks. ]

[relieable]

[ah. he pauses]

I'm not... I mean... I don't sing all that much but... I guess I could try.

[what can he say? Osomatsu loves entertaining, and being the center of attention. just because he doesn't sing often doesn't mean he can't sing at all.

he thinks about what he wants to sing, and only a few songs come to mind. he closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and gives it a shot. he's a little shaky, but it's alright. the song would be familiar to some people, but maybe not her]
