1st Song [video]

[tapdancinskelly]

[Brook has found himself stuck on a flimsy raft out at sea. He can be seen drinking a cup of tea while seemingly having a tea party for himself.]

Well... the accommodations aren't exactly five star, and it's a little leaky, but at least it seems steerable. Not quite as bad as the last vessel I found myself alone on in the middle of nowhere. Yohohoho!

[Brook keeps fiddling with the journal, not really sure how it works.]

I wonder if anyone shall find me? ... Well! No point in sulking about it, when you're feeling down and alone, you should sing!

When you are refined,
And would like to dine,
There's only one beverage that you need,
When you need a drink,
To bring you back from the brink,
It's the greatest thing indeeeeeed!

This is an ode to tea,
The greatest drink in the land!
Tea is great for snack times,
It is so very grand!
Without tea I'd be lost,
Although I think already am!
So here's an ode to tea,
To help me give a damn!

Yohohoho!

[He seems to be taking notes in his journal on the lyrics... that make no sense]

Hmm... I think that last verse still needs a little work.

Comments

[Katie giggles outright. Definitely him.]

Late for everything. You had an appointment with the queen of the zombies, you know. I was going to go as your bodyguard.

1/2

[tapdancinskelly]

EHHH?!?! I had an appointment with who?! But Zombies are terrifying!

2/2

[tapdancinskelly]

Hmm... was it for the peace treaty between the zombies and the skeletons? I guess I wouldn't want to miss that you know.

[He's just making stuff up now, since he figures that's probably what she's doing anyways.]

[flickerflash]

Oh, yes. There were some problems because the vampires had sort of tried to frame the skeletons for hording all the brains, and you know zombies can never abide that. But I sorted it out.

[tapdancinskelly]

Excellent work then! It would be terrible if the skeletons were blamed for brain robbing. Yohohoho!

[flickerflash]

Of course. After all, skeletons have no need for brains. They're all bone.

Skull joke. [Very quietly muttered.]

1/2

[tapdancinskelly]

You... you just made a skull joke!? Yohohoho! You truly are one of the greatest friends I've met here yet!

2/2

[tapdancinskelly]

Please, I know I don't have any recollection of this place, but it seems I have made quite a few friends here in the past. Might I know your name young lady?

[flickerflash]

[Her smile fades.]

...you don't remember who I am?

[tapdancinskelly]

I'm sorry to say that I do not. However, that does not change the fact that we were friends does it? If I had befriended you before, I obviously had good reason to do so. I'm still me, aren't I? So I'd think if I had met the me from back then, they would have wanted me to still be your friend.

Does that make any sense to you?

[It felt especially important to him, that he should hold onto the memories of the previous Brooks here... or at least the friendships. He remembered all to well what it was like when his shadow (Ryuma), carelessly used his precious memories against him in their battle, as it did not have them.]

[flickerflash]

[It makes all the sense in the world, and part of her is happy to hear it. But-- no memory of her. Nothing to hold her back. Nothing to get him involved.

He forgot her. That isn't fair.]

It makes none at all.

[Without another word, Katie closes her journal. Sorry, Brook. She'll talk to you again some time.]

1/2

[tapdancinskelly]

[She may have closed the Journal, but Brook still feels the need to say a few last words as he get's over his first few moments of shock.]

That-

2/2

[tapdancinskelly]

That's so harsh!!!
