Good day, all.

As ever, we face all manner of changes day to day. Meetings and partings, new lessons learned...

[He trails off briefly.]

I would like to play music with others here sometime. One final hurrah for my old instrument. Even if our tastes and styles differ, it's something I'd like anyway. Whether you sing, play drums, or something else, I would like the chance to share that with others.

In person is ideal, but I am flexible. I know we all have things to be doing; this in itself, I suppose, is a selfish request of mine.

Thank you.

I can't underestimate what is noticed and what is not.

In any case, to open a portal will demand a sacrifice. My shamisen is... important to me, but I am willing to give it up. I thought that it would be enjoyable to share it, in a way, before I let it go.

[thearchangel]

Ah. The sacrifice.

You ever thought about... getting it replaced? Mm, maybe that's the wrong word - getting a different instrument, once that one is gone?

Won't actually replace it, but at least you're not out a hobby.

[stealthpun]

It's less about the hobby and more what it means to me. That it's... my last link to some very important people to me. None of our preferred styles of expression really went together, but we would play together anyway.

Terrible noise. I miss it.

[thearchangel]

That's the important part of all of it, isn't it. What it means to us. The link it's got. If we go through all this, and it doesn't work I'm going to have a bone to click with the Rifts.

[That's not the saying, you big scaly dummy.]

What, did they play some kind of... industrial noise rock or something?

[stealthpun]

I think you mean "bone to pick", but you were close.

More like "nothing matches". Charmy would just hit his marching drums as loud as he could with no real tempo. Vector can belt out just fine with or without a microphone, can come up with lyrics, and has a sense of rhythm, but his preferred volume is also loud. It's a bit hard to describe without a real example.
