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.]

Am a bard.

[As if on cue, he pulls out a violin and begins playing away.]

I didn't ask about your profession. I meant your...well, you're obviously not human, are you?

Well you did ask what I am.

Why, can't I be human? I'm human. I'm a dead human, but that doesn't mean I'm not human!

I asked what species you happen to be. Like one of those things we encountered in the last draft, for example.

But never mind, that's all I needed to know.

I seem to recall you specifically saying 'What are you, anyway?' Not, 'What is your species you ungodly abomination?'

... I may have added to that last bit to spice it up a little. Yohohoho!

Ah, so that's what you are. I see. Thank you.

And what are you then?

I'm a human being.

[It's much easier to say that now that he's not under Solon's thumb anymore.]

No, no, I mean your profession. You seem pretty young, are you a student?

Well, why didn't you say so?

I'm an information dealer and a strategist.

Oh. So you're a spy? Or perhaps you run a spy syndicate?

A syndicate? Not really...

Tactical scouting perhaps?

Something like that. I can make strategies both on and off the battlefield.

So as a strategist did you work with armies and generals? Or were you simply a freelancer? Or was it more of a underground operation.

A little of everything. I took a job wherever I could.

Hmm... were you having troubles making ends meet?

Oh no, I did quite well, actually. But why turn down an available job?

Touche!

But then again, now that you're here, you probably don't get to use your expertise for much, do you?

Hardly. Since there's no money here, there's been no need for it.

At least my strategies are still helpful during the drafts.

[For him, anyway. Screw everyone else.]

Yes but, wouldn't that leave you rather painfully bored much of the time? I'd think as a strategist, strategizing is like your lifeblood, so not being able to would get you rather rusty at it.

Unless of course you're an avid chess player or something of that nature.

Boredom isn't a problem. I have ways of keeping myself occupied.

Personally, I mostly entertain myself by entertaining the masses.

Well, that's good for you, I suppose...

...

Psst! That was your cue to share back you know. Yohohoho!
