[As it's raining today, the old man has decided to do what he usually does, get drunk out of boredom. But it has been a while since he's used the journal for anything other than people watching, so he figured he should probably contribute to that mess that we call social interaction. He's been trying to figure out what he was doing the last time he was in Luceti, he must've entertained himself somehow. ~~He did gardening.~~]

How do you guys stop yerselves from gettin' so bored in this place? Not that I mind the peace and quiet we get when we're not bein' experimented on! It's just that some of you must've picked up new hobbies, ones that don't involve spendin' every day at the battle dome, right? Us old folk just aren't cut out fer that sorta thing. Drinkin' alcohol every day isn't a very healthy hobby ta have.

[A pause while he pours himself another class of wine.]

A turtle did suggest that I take up a musical instrument now that I think about it.

Do it. Then you can serenade me, post-crepe-feast.

[ she isn't strictly as cheery as she sounds, but she chooses to be upbeat when responding to the 'old man'. ]

[Then that makes two of us, darling.]

Serenadin' women after winning their hearts with my delicious cookin', ya know, this instrument idea doesn't sound half bad now.

[ they co-conspire to be cheery. it's a thing. ]

See? My brain and your skills? You'll have all the women-folk lining up.

[It's opposite day then, everyone happy in Luceti is secretly miserable?]

Well then, do ya have any particular recommendations fer what kinda instrument I should try?

Guitar. Oh! Or piano.

Isn't playin' a guitar completely different ta playin' a piano? [He looks at his hands, ~~they're such manly hands~~wondering how well he'd be able to play.]

Sure? Probably?

[ as a player of neither, she's none too sure. ]

I try to keep myself occupied by talking to people. An easy thing to do with the journals.

Instruments might take a while to learn, if you're patient enough.

You have no idea, do ya? [A pause.]

Alright, how about which would look sexiest?

Talkin' ta people is great, do it all the time. But sometimes they talk such crap ya need a distration.

And I have the patience of a saint!

So, you have the patience of a saint, but you need a distraction from people talking crap?

[She giggles a little. Just teasing really.]

I know someone who teaches piano around the village. I think he does it in the school more than not.

I never said I wasn't a hypocrite.

[He thinks for a moment, he's only ever see one person playing the piano in Luceti.]

Oh! Would this piano guy by any chance be called 'Frederic'?

Learning an instrument isn't such a bad idea. I picked up learning the harmonica since I came here.

A guitar's more conventionally sexy. But -- hmm, the piano can do the trick too, you know.

Ya play the harmonica? Didn't know that... A few of the guys I kept runnin' into in jail back home used ta play one as well.

A piano has that... [Thinking for a moment.] That rich man vibe to it. Back home most nobles learned ta play the piano, or the violin, or some other instrument along those lines. The kinda instrument that people wearin' fancy suits and cravats would look good playin'.

I don't look good in a cravat.

Or patched-elbow blazers, dark jeans, and tasteful scarfs. Bohemian trendy. With a Starbucks cup perched on the side of the piano bench.

Ahahaha, well, I do hope you know you don't have to be in jail to play one.

I have no idea what bohemian or Starbucks is, but it doesn't sound like me, does it?

I heard a story once that the harmonica was invented by a guy in jail. He made it out of his dinner plate and a fork!

...No, not really.

[ TIME TO TEASE. ] Maybe you need a banjo.

[You know what, I was hoping someone would say that because it's hilarious.]

Sittin' with a banjo on my porch, smokin' a pipe and shoutin' at kids who walk on my lawn?

[ ~brainwave~ ]

I can see it now.

I'd rather not, I don't wanna feel any older than I already am... And a banjo is no good fer seranadin'!

How about an accordion, then?

[ now she's just being horrid. ]
