Day 7

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Instead of his normal morning announcements, this morning you awaken to… Ronald McDonald playing a lovely tune for all of you with his band. Audible even over the metal is a louder sound of scraping, and a low rumble that persists throughout the song. ]

[ Afterward, you'll find that a new hallway has appeared in the studio. Where there was once an empty wall, there is now a theater! And your tablets will display the rules for a brand new competition… ]

...Well, how about a five?

[andascholar]

Hmm. What are your musical talents?

[locktouching]

[Plucks the string of his bow.]

I could do a fair bard act. Lute, violin, something along those lines...

And you?

[andascholar]

I can sing a little, and play the harp. Do you know anything about 'punk'?

[locktouching]

...No. But whatever it is, I'm all for trying.

[andascholar]

Mari says it's about anarchy and fighting the system. I'm sure you can work with that.

[locktouching]

Perfect. I know a thing or two about conquest and breaking the law. Do you have it covered too, or do you need any pointers?

[andascholar]

Oh, please. Enlighten me.

[locktouching]

For me, it's all about hating the privileged! I want to drag down those who have never known suffering.

[andascholar]

...Don't you work for a prince?

[It's hard to get more privileged than the royal family]

[locktouching]

I have never thought that way about Lord Leo... I believe he holds his suffering silently inside.

As for Lord Corrin, I... admit that I thought that way at first when I believed he was merely a sheltered prince. Until I learned more about him. He's like me, he has a complex past...

[andascholar]

[Ah. She's more satisfied with that answer, seems like Niles at least puts some thought into his hatred.] It's impossible to know what anyone has been through on first impressions alone.

[locktouching]

[Head-tilt.]

Are you speaking of yourself? I haven't quite made up my mind about you. You certainly give the impression of a spoiled noble. You help others, but is it out of real empathy, or some ridiculous sense of duty? Surely you know that almost all of us will soon be dead anyway.

[andascholar]

[She wasn't, she was trying to sympathise with his 'complex past' and give him some consideration, but examining her is stressful and she immediately becomes defensive, clenching her fists and turning away.] I don't know why I bother trying to understand you. I'm going to go sort out costumes, feel free to meet up with us later to discuss the band.

[locktouching]

Ha ha... if you want juicy gossip on me, you have to offer something about yourself in return. It's only fair.

[andascholar]

[I'M TRYING TO MAKE A DRAMATIC EXIT HERE DON'T CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION?? RUDE. Looking back over her shoulder.] I have no interest in your gossip. Goodbye, Niles.

[locktouching]

I will see you very soon.

[You are so much fun.]
