tapdancinskelly | 2nd Song [Video/Action]

[Brook is bouncing around the various locations of Luceti, seeming to be filled with some sort of hyperactive energy as he sings. It seems he's brought an accordion with him this time, and is playing with a broad grin this weird song. His journal seems to be open on a little musical stand he attached to his accordion so that he could broadcast his playing.]

I'll be mellow when I'm dead! I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead! When are you cosmic cowboys gonna get it through your heads? I'll be mellow when I'm dead, I'll be mellow when I'm dead I'll be mellow when I'm dead!

[Then he pauses mid song realizing something.]

Oh wait! I am dead...

[Upon this realization, Brook sits down with his accordion, puts it to the side, pulls out a cup of tea, and begins to read a newspaper as if nothing had ever happened. Where did he get the newspaper? It's an old article from the library that doesn't exactly make much sense, but it's mostly just a prop anyways. Feel free to talk to him as he's bouncing around hyper, or while he's reading his newspaper.]

That's right! He's my captain!

Wait a sec! So you're one of the Straw Hats, too? I thought I met all the ones who are here!

You must have missed one my friend, because I am their musician! I am an entertainer extraordinaire, a swordsmen of melody, a whirlwind of good cheer, I am Brook, the bard of the straw hat pirates! Yohohoho!

I also go by dead bones Brook, Brook the babbling brook, Soulking, the humming swordsman, that damned pervert skeleton, and the artist formerly known as Soulking. A pleasure to meet you my good sir! Yohohoho!

Nami told me all the Straw Hats who are here, but that was a few months ago. Maybe you weren't here ye-

Wait! You're a musician?! The Straw Hats have a musician?! A pirate musician?!

...

That's amazing! My name's Aang! It's great to meet you, Brook!

Likewise Aang! Wait your name is Aang?! That's a wonderful name! Think of all the great things that rhyme with it! Sang, Bang, Boomerang, your name can practically be a song unto itself! Yohohoho!

But yes, you could say I'm a relatively recent arrival, so Nami might not have mentioned me... either that or she's mad at me, one of those. Some girls never forgive you for asking about their panties. Yohohoho!

Thanks! Wow, does that mean I'm gonna get my own song? My friend Sokka has a boomerang!

It must have been before you showed up, then. What was wrong with her pants?

Well if you really want, I could certainly write you a song! It would help if I knew a little more about you, but I did get a few tidbits from Roku. I think he mentioned that he was the avatar before you or something?

Actually... I don't know what's wrong with her pants. That's part of why I've been so curious!

[He snaps his fingers as if getting a brilliant idea.]

Do you think you might be able to ask her for me?

Oh yeah! So you met Roku already? He's my past life! But I'll be glad to tell you lots about me to make into a song. Only if you want to!

Uh, sure! If it's real important, I can ask her.

Of course! Now then, let's start with the basics! What... Is the square root of an isosceles triangle? Also... what is your favorite color?

Yohohoho! I was joking Aang! For the love of your soul, don't ask her that. Do you have a girlfriend by any chance? If so, don't ask her that either, it's a bad idea if you want to stay breathing.

Fortunately, I'm no longer breathing! Yohohoho!

What? Why would a triangle have a square at its root? And my favorite color's orange.

I do - but no, I don't really. I didn't know it was bad to ask girls about their pants! It sounded like you were seriously asking me. But I'll definitely be careful about it in the future!

Mathematics my dear avatar! One must never forget one's mathematics! (Especially right before fighting the fire lord.) Although strangely I pegged you for more of blue, which is interesting since on the spectrum orange is the exact opposite. But I guess it matches your clothes, if not your... arrow. Hmm... that might make an interesting song topic too... what is the arrow for if I might ask?

[Brooke's tone completely changes to that of a serious one when he speaks of this part.]

Oh aye, beware Aang! Woemen hate it when you talk about their panties, or anything to do with their nether regions. You, and me? We can take it in stride, what do we care? But women? ... Bewaaaaaare~!

[He says the last spart with a spooky voice, flailing his skeletal arms around for extra emphasis.]

You should watch me sometime when I ask a cute girl. You'll see exactly what happens from a nice safe distance... provided she doesn't actually have magical powers to rain fire from the sky or something... then there might not be a safe distance to watch from. Yohohoho!

[Yes... it's clear he cannot follow his own advise.]

Oh! The arrows? [He holds up his hands to show them running down his arms as well.] They're tattoos I got when I mastered airbending! It's something my people, the air nomads, have done.

N-neither regions? [WHAT IS GOING ON.] I'll just... be careful about that! I don't want to get fire rained on me.

Arrow, sparrow, narrow, harrow... hmm... perhaps I won't use that for a song point. So is that why Roku didn't have the arrows, because he hasn't mastered air bending yet? Or is it something done by just the air nomads?

Hmm... perhaps you're yet still too young.

He did master airbending, the last time he went home! But your second question's the right one. The arrows are only for my people, and it's part of our culture. It has to be earned through mastering air bending and living the air nomad lifestyle.

I am? But I'm 14, give or take a hundred years!

Ahh, I see. So since he likes wearing red... and your from the air nomads... and the avatar bends the four elements. That must mean he's... a water bender...
Yohohoho!

[He even manages to say that with a straight face right before cracking up.]

Well that's a new one, even for my standards. How do you give or take a hundred years? You didn't die did you? That tends to leave a few marks. Yohohoho!

[Aang's just... not sure he's joking.] He's still trying to learn Waterbending. Naturally he's a Firebender.

[He freezes briefly at the mention of death and leaving some marks, because that kind of happened. But it's not something he likes to recall openly. So he skips to the punchline.] Thing is, I actually got frozen in an iceberg for a hundred years.
