[Kaworu is sitting at a terminal, again in the common room of his building, and he seems as content as ever. He's also... somewhat poorly dressed, bearing a lovely array of colors which just don't go together. Dark greens, mild oranges, a random smatter of beige... He has what looks like a purple handkerchief tied around his upper arm, too. Kaworu, please.

He says, easily,] Good afternoon. For anyone listening, I wanted to pose a question. I've been enjoying the media center here; it is a good source of wonder. In particular, I've been very pleased with the music that I've found. Though, something's stood out to me: there is no music that I am familiar with from where I came from. Given the great prominence of Bach and Beethoven and Handel, even after hundreds of years, it's very certain that this place is wholly separate. More importantly, [in his opinion,] the only way I can reconnect with that music now is to reminisce on it myself. Or to play some of it myself. Further into town, there's a music shop which houses instruments, and they've indulged me a few times. Still, I've found immeasurable joy in experiencing the new music this place has to offer.

What I'm wondering, then, is if any of you - from different places, since there seem to be so many - have any songs you'd like to share. I'd be pleased to learn them. If you'd care to sing, I think it would be good. It would bring great happiness to all of us, isn't that so?

[And he seems so serene, yet - at the same time, earnest - that he must really believe that such an activity will bestow enlightenment upon these poor kidnapped masses.

Ah, a thought.] That's right. Kaworu may see this as well. If so, Kaworu, why don't we go down and play something together sometime soon? We should talk.

Congratulations. What is your occupation? [Customer service, I presume? Badou Nails working at a call center???]

[LMAO that phone would be thrown out the window half an hour into his first shift. PERFECT JOB OBVIOUSLY.]

Nothing major. Got me working in a deli and cashier areas in a little market. Hopefully gonna rack up enough to get a place of my own. You find any place yet?

That sounds very good. [He means it.] I hope you prosper well. I haven't found one myself, though. None of the occupational skills I have learned would really have any application here. I am not sure what I would do.

You and your twin. [Seriously guys get it together.]

Okay, here's a good question. How good are you guys at math?

We aren't siblings. [Lalala, pleasant and oblivious.

Ummm.] It isn't difficult, but I don't really favor it. How good are you at math?

I know, I was- [SIGH] Nevermind.

I'm good enough to get by a cash register. How about you?

I've never used one before, but I believe I could. Why, do you think that I should have a job at a cash register, Mr Nails?

I think you could work it. I've got a few places in mind I could point out to you if you drop by the market later.

All right. You're nice.

[m aybe it's not such a good idea to have him work at the register

But all of the people here are touchy-feely assholes so maybe this will work out.]

S-uuuure. Ping me next time you're there.

[GRIPS YOUR HANDS
STARES INTO YOUR EYES
THAT WILL BE EIGHT DOLLARS AND NINETY-SEVEN CENTS SIR
I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY]

Yes, I surely will. I appreciate it, and I look forward to it.

[I think I may have been born to meet you, customer-san]

Take care, kid.

You as well.

(That's completely fine! I have AIM too, but I'm bad at one-on-one conversation, haha ;_; It's motionwaltz. What's yours? I won't appear as online until I have you on my buddy list.)

(Ohhh no worries, I understand! I kind of am also ;_; so I ain't judgin'. Mine is hummybees !!)
