1st Song // Computer [webcam]

[wordsgate]

[Hello all you crazy reincarnated people. Have a really confused looking young man with bleach-blond hair staring at you. He hesitates for a moment, looking a little speechless, before he takes a deep breath and gets up the nerve to say something.]

This is not at all what I expected to find when I Googled that number.

Sorry, I know I must be interrupting a lot, but can anyone tell me what's going on? I tried looking at a few posts around here but I just got more confused. Something about a death, and security concerns and...a general?

[He sighs and rests his chin in his hand, mumbling the last bit of this to himself.] I didn't just accidentally hack into something I wasn't supposed to see, did I?

Pretty pathetic, huh? That is if it means anything on my part.

Huh. Seems that would make some things difficult.

[wordsgate]

"Pathetic" seems rather harsh. Even if it's a weakness, it means you're showing improvement.

Yeah, just thinking about how much I'd have to rearrange my room if that happened makes me wince. Not to mention that the world is built to suit right-handed people. The side that a mouse is placed in a computer lab, scissors, video game controls...

[espigeonage]

Assuming I'm not just overcaffeinated, I suppose so. We'll have to see.

That's for sure. They make southpaw versions, but that's still a lot of stuff to replace.

[wordsgate]

Well, even if it's nothing, you can use it as motivation to improve. :)

Yeah. And that means a lot of money spent, ugh. Really glad all I've gotten is a melody and some weird phrases.

[espigeonage]

Maybe!

A melody, huh? Played it yet?

[wordsgate]

Oh yeah, several times. Piano, guitar--saxophone most often. It's some sort of jazz song so I can get the closest on the saxophone.

[espigeonage]

That so? I'd ask you to note it down, but I'm afraid I forgot how to read music. Anyway, I want to hear it sometime!

[wordsgate]

Really? If it wouldn't get you into too much trouble at work I could record it and send it to you. Or you could just listen to it later in the day. After all, I'm sure you're just dying to hear some of my beautiful music.

[Oh, hey, he must be more relaxed now. The flirtatious side of him is back.]

[espigeonage]

Lol, well, you know I am. We all have our own beautiful songs, and they must be shared to be best appreciated.

[wordsgate]

Yes, that's exactly how I feel! It's why I enjoy meeting new people so much.

[espigeonage]

Some of these songs are solitary. They are of course no less lovely for that, but it's also so nice when there's one in accord with mine!

[mixing metaphors.]

[wordsgate]

Hmm, I much prefer two melodies in harmony, myself. A solitary song is a little sad to me.

[espigeonage]

Aah, true, true. Not that that isn't beautiful, especially when that sorrow is relieved.
