to dante.
[There's actually just a note taped on Dante's door that reads NEED HELP PLANNING PARTY PLZ.]


to everyone.
Nobody here plays water glasses, right? [The look on Maya's face should tell you that this in, in fact, a Very Serious Question.] If you do, I kind of need your help. I can pay you? A little bit?

[Maya taps her lip, like she's thinking.] I would also appreciate your help if you happen to play keys or drums. [Snapping her fingers, Maya grins.] Oh! Or xylophone piano. Or bass.

Actually, if you play any kind of instrument, even if it's the kazoo, and you wouldn't mind helping me with something super important then I would super appreciate it if you responded.

[eatmybow]

I think that's almost as impressive as my friend, Imogen. [Maya laughs.] She's like a water glass savant, though. Can you learn a song to play at a party?

[revvinguptheharley]

Well sure! What's the occasion?

[eatmybow]

Cam's birthday is on the 5th!

[eatmybow]

Ppl to learn 1 song to play at a party? :D? Whatever ur most comfortable playing would b good.

[perrytheperson]

Tell you what. Get back with me when you have more people and I can pick up whatever instrument you don't have.

Otherwise I'll do keyboard or bass.

*He sees the note on the way out of his room and walks over to Maya just as she's finishing the public announcement.*

Drums or guitar, kiddo? Afraid I'm a bit rusty on the piano.

*He's been in a pretty sulky mood ever since the virus ended, but he's not going to be a downer when someone's planning a party.*

[eatmybow]

Drums, I think? [There's a bunch of staff paper scattered over her desk, some of them crumpled, and Maya shifts through them.] Because I can cover guitar if I have to.

[She holds up a page of sheet music.] Can you read sheet music?

[hellspawnedhero]

I'd be a shitty musician if I couldn't.

*He reaches for the page.*

Gonna have to keep the drums out here if I get 'em, though.

[eatmybow]

Hey, I've met people who only play by ear and can't read a single note. [Maya hands the page over.] I don't mind so long as they're not, like. In front of the fridge or anything.

[leaderkun]

I am pretty good at trumpet. And I was learning guitar... though I only know one song.

[eatmybow]

I can work with trumpet. [Maya thinks for a second.] And I can offer you guitar lessons in return, if that's something you'd be interested in.

[scratchitti]

What the heck, are you starting a band?

[eatmybow]

Yup! I need a band for Cam's present.

[scratchitti]

Present?

[omg neku ur worst best guyfriend for not knowing about this]

[eatmybow]

[Headtilt.] Cam's birthday is on the 5th.

He didn't tell you. [That's not a question, that's a statement.] Don't worry, I only know because his birthday is so close to mine.

[beingthecreature]

I don't know if you'd have any use for it, but I play the harmonica.

[eatmybow]

When you're friends with Imogen Moreno, you learn to have a use for any instrument. If you're willing to play, then I'd love to have your help.

[beingthecreature]

Yeah, sure! Whaddyou need help with?
