*this is not a song that anyone in the mansion might know--it's a song of John's composing, the overture to his musical about Houdini. he's trying to make a key change work, and having only partial success*

"No. There are just more important tihings in the world and I'm not good at any of them other than hunting or loving."

You're a pleasant conversationalist, although I can't vouch for your other skills. *with an inflection that suggests he wouldn't mind learning if he could*

And Tom, naturally, takes that in the completely wrong direction. "Do you like hunting, then?"

Typist: L!V!C! should be here tomorrow. Thank you netflix.

Not interested. I would say that it's one thing that I do not in the least regret leaving in England, were it not so popular in the States as well.

Typist: *hidesface* And whee, you're going to see how badly I play John. ^_^;;

"Oh." The light dawns and he figures out what John must have meant. "Oh..."

Typist: And when you read With Fire and Sword you can see how horribly I play my three.

*smirks* Cue the retreat.

Typist: Deal!

"No. I'm... I'm afraid I'm not very good at that at present." He blushes slightly again.

Nor would you be interested if you were.

*a small smile--but an honest one* You may be the first person ever to have told me that. Thank you.

"Truly? Then you're welcome. I don't see why I'm the first."

Give it time. *shuffles his papers to put the overture on top again--he thinks he knows how to get the key-change to work, now--and plays through it again*

And Tom will just remain standing fairly close to John and listen to the music.

*the key change works this time--the chords are closer to what he had intended--and he finishes the overture, with a faint smile* Here we are.

Tom can't tell the difference, but he applauds anyway.

*leans comfortably back from the keys* The audiences here are all receptive. I've yet to hear a single negative word--thank you.

Tom moves away a little now so that John can lean back. He really does stand very close to people. "I like music. I don't see why anbody else wouldn't like it either."

Date: 2007-06-05 06:49 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com
I certainly wouldn't like it if it were done badly.

"And you played that music well, not badly at all."

Typist: You fixed it!

*regards Tom very seriously* Is there something you want from me?

Typist: Yep! ^________^ LiveJournal has ceased to hate me!

"... No. Should there be?" Looks rather simple and innocent like he usually does. (Kind of like Carrot in Discworld. Simple but not stupid.)

Typist: *throws out sympathy bouquet*

From: [identity profile] john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com
*the typist made an icon about that for a friend--and John is more Moist von Lipwig. ^_~* If there isn't, I may be forced to conclude that you are a genuinely good man. Until now, I hadn't believed they existed.

Typist: I don't even need it for my connection any longer. ^__^ Maybe there's someone else on your friends list who needs sympathy?

"Everyone has faults and vices. Mine are those of wildness and youth. (Almost book quote!)"

Typist: I'll give them to Forti Fish.

Of course we do. Most philosophers refer to that as the human condition.

Typist: ^__^ Still cutest fish name ever.

"Then I can't be genuinely good."
