Nagakura-san! Nagakura-saaaaan~ Do you know how to play a musical instrument? We're going to be stuck indoors a lot what with all this snow. Let's learn to play one~

Which leads me to this question for everyone: I'm fascinated by your different types of music. Would anyone be willing to teach me something? Or even just tell me about music in your country.

I like festival music. It's so cheery.

As an aside, Heavy-san? Thank you for your help at the Center lately. It's very kind of you.

[He pauses for a moment and then claps his hands together as if remembering something]

Ah! And Sonic-san? I owe you my thanks for earlier. Is there anything I can do to repay your kindness?

Oh! The Chinese lute? ...or whatever it was called. I never did learn its name...

Welcome to Luceti, Toph-san. Have you settled in already? It's a bit cold out so do be careful.

Our worlds must be very different. I've never heard of these places. What is firebending?

[voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm much better now, thanks to you. How are you doing, Sonic-san?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Can you play some for me? I've never heard it. The only music I know comes from festivals or whatever it is the women play when we go to Shimabara.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Are you doing well? The weather has turned a bit sour I'm afraid.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...wow, you must be really, really rich.

[2ndunitcaptain]

Hmm... but what do we learn?

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

Certainly! Just allow me to fetch my violin!

[Have some sounds of him opening the violin case] Ah, here we are.

[And now he'll play this song]

[[OOC: Brook hasn't been around very long, so in canon he's only actually shown playing two songs. However it is stated that he is a fantastic musician and has been one for decades, so he would obviously know more songs that that, so I'm having to make do]]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I don't know. There's the boy who is saying he can teach me the 'violin' and there's the skeleton man who seems to be playing all sorts of things. Martel-san says she can teach us the panpipes, too.

[emp3thy]

Not really. They're normal in my time.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...the future must be extremely affluent then if everyone has a music player machine.

[emp3thy]

Technology's improved.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Are they smaller then? Because I can't think of anything but having a band of musicians on a big stage. You'd need a very big house for that.

[emp3thy]

Very small.

[He holds up the player to be visible through the book's camera.] Music is stored in here. [and now the headphones -] These go on your ears.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

........

How in the world do you fit people in there? Where do the instruments go?

[emp3thy]

You don't.

[pause to think how to explain] Like how this book can record voices. It's similar.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...so a music player is magic, too? How interesting.

[emp3thy]

Not magic. [...] But it's complicated.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

It seems everything I talk about ends up being complicated. I hope I'm not causing any inconveniences for you.

[emp3thy]

Don't worry.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Well that's a different sort of skill, I think.

[earthrumblegod.livejournal.com]

Haven't settled in yet, no. And firebending is a martial art that people who can bend fire are taught. They can shoot fire from their hands and stuff like that.

[2ndunitcaptain]

Any of those loud?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I think music is loud by default, Nagakura-san.

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it! I'm doin' all right too, thanks. You're back at home now and not at the clinic anymore, right? And did you ever find your red-haired friend too?

[amber-arcangel.livejournal.com]

I'm a little tired since the sun hasn't been out for a few days...
