Day 53: Music Room

Well, if it wasn't his favorite time of the week. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. Of course in this case, distance makes Klavier feel like an abused, neglected animal who was only now being allowed a taste of actual food. These people were such savages. It was still absolutely absurd that they were allowed access to this room so rarely. But the tactic was also brilliant on their part, sad to say. Klavier was always at his quietest and most obedient on Music Room days. The perfect model patient. He would give them no excuse to deprive him of this precious time.

Today was going to be a little different, however. Not only was he given access to music today, but a bout of entertainment as well. Apparently that band that had been setting up tryouts for the last week was ready to get the show on the road and start their auditions. Normally, this was the sort of project he wouldn't hesitate to take part in. But aside from the injury to his left hand and shoulder, there were three critical factors keeping him from doing so:

1. The band was named "Sex Bob-Omb." Klavier may have missed the band scene, but he had no intention of attaching his name to some Tom Jones cover band.
2. There weren't many actual instruments in the Music Room; certainly not enough variety to form the type of band they want. The one who made the poster said something about improvising instruments through whatever means necessary. A noble goal, but again, Klavier was not so desperate yet as to reduce himself to playing with a box of tissues strung up with rubber bands. That was too pathetic an image to ever place himself into.
3. The person who had posted placed up a sample music sheet of one of their songs. Klavier had no idea how many people here could actually read music enough to know what it was they were looking at there, but he had been able to decipher it perfectly. Their music... it was kind of god-awful.

In short, this was basically a disaster waiting to happen. The hints were enough to tell him this was likely going to be something akin to nails on a chalkboard... amplified by five. So honestly, he should be as far away from this room as humanly possible.

But he was not going to let these people ruin his rare access time to the Music Room. No, instead he took one of their old CD players and a carefully selected CD of choice (for the sake of his sanity) and took a seat at one of the tables, turning the chair so as to get an optimal view of the show. Why not? No harm in indulging in a little "entertainment," yes?

While the look on the girl's face made it clear that she was less than thrilled with her situation, Guy decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that that was directed at the place itself rather than him. While it hadn't been her choice to come talk to him, he'd like to think he wasn't that bad.

If anything, he'd just have to try to be more interesting.

The first name that she offered was totally foreign to Guy. That wasn't so surprising, seeing how he hadn't even realized there were other worlds until arriving here. He probably didn't know most of the places that the patients here were from; the only place he knew anything at all about was Earth. He'd learned some about others here and there, but thanks to Claude, he was the most versed on Earth.

He did know the name Japan, though, just because he'd heard it or read it so often while here. "Ahh, gotcha'," he replied with a nod. "So you're from Earth, then." Depending on what she knew, that statement might be enough to make her stare at him with something other than boredom.

He didn't want to leave her hanging or anything, though. "I"m from a world called Auldrant," he went on to explain. "If you didn't already know, a lot of people are from places other than Earth here." Which drew up a lot of important questions, but Guy had been through them countless times already.
