He took a few steps in one direction, and then another. Finally he turned around dramatically, and pointed to a little array of cassette tape players a few feet in one direction."Well, I have no idea what those do, so they're probably it!"

He smiled down at the girl beside him. This seemed not only to be a good opportunity to build planetary relations, but also a good chance to flirt with a really cute girl! A girl with a fresh melody about her~ "I'm not from around these parts, you know. I mean, planet-wise, and all."

He grinned, pushing one of the buttons on the cassette player experimentally. Nothing happened. "What about yourself, little melody?"
