Miss Martel, I've been thinking... do you need more volunteers at the Welcome Center?  If so, I would like to.

[End Filter]

Miss Finette,  Miss Grune.  Are you both well?  Have you adjusted to living here yet?

...I've been meaning to ask.  Are there any musicians here?  Anyone interested in talking in person can meet me at Good Spirits this evening.

[Action]

[Sure enough, Thirteen makes good on his word about being at the bar.  He's brought his guitar along, and is sitting off in a corner playing quietly.]

I play a pretty good banjo.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

Banjo? Hmmm.

How long have you played, Mister...?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Actually, I just kinda copied what Edward did... but it really did sound good.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

...Why would you copy someone else's banjo playing?

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

I know a skeleton who can play the violin.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[...While he's adjusting to Luceti, the concept of a skeleton playing a violin still sounds too farfetched for him to believe. In other words, he still hasn't met the One Piece crew yet.]

...A skeleton? Is it some sort of machine or a toy?

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

No, a real skeleton. I heard him playing the violin once.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

Interesting... Did he have a name?

[Active imagination on this kid? ...It is Luceti.]

[Voice]

[my-hands-stuck.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, I have. This place is very nice.

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that. Did you meet anyone else from your home here?

[Voice]

[my-hands-stuck.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I don't think so.

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

That's a shame. I haven't either.

[Voice]

[hageshii]

You planning to put a band together, Thirteen? Certainly would spruce the bar up. What's a bar without someone playing a piano in it, right?

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

I had been thinking about it. Maybe it would help alleviate some of the boredom people have here...

[Voice]

[hageshii]

Better than twiddling your thumbs, right?

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

And if other people enjoy it, it might be worth it.

[alliance-marine.livejournal.com]

You met Grune?

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

I did. Do you know her?

[alliance-marine.livejournal.com]

Yeah. She's a friend.

[Some time after your chat with Kouichi, as it's much funnier that way...]

I'm a musician! Are you in need of one?

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[...A goddamn skeleton. No. Way. The boy must've been telling the truth.]

...Uh.

[Thirteen's really at a loss for words. Best help him out, Brook.]

[Voice]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[And he'll just continue talking. Stunned silences and/or screaming are the typical reaction, after all.]

Ah, one moment - you said you were at Good Spirits, yes? I'm out and about already, so I can meet you there!

[i-like-fluffy.livejournal.com]

Stitch play guitar.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[...What is this... thing talking to him?]

And... you are Stitch?

[Voice] my bad, this is voice

[i-like-fluffy.livejournal.com]

Eh. [The thing nods.]

Mister White Hair want Stitch come to bar? Stitch bring guitar?
