[megamind]

[Map, directions to music room.]

Instruments, a variety of recordings, and more.

[A minute later, and it takes effort for the first word to be typed:]

Please do not damage the instruments. We've already lost the Baby Grand to... mischief.

[circumitus]

affirmative.

just the recordings will do. will not touch the instruments.

[megamind]

Thanks.

Anything you are looking for in specific?

[circumitus]

maybe.

i'm hoping to find more opera.

[megamind]

Not a lot of call for that. Guessing you're not thinking of The Who's Tommy, either.

[Rock Opera. Can't go wrong.]

[circumitus]

never heard it.

[megamind]

I know there's a copy somewhere in the music room. You could give it a try. It's a rock opera.

[circumitus]

rock opera?









i'll look into it.

[showbizpanache]

You beat me to it. :)

[He'll go ahead and copy the directions Megamind left.]

I do hope there's something good. I'm sure space music is quite interesting, but it would be nice to hear something from Earth.

[circumitus]

if there isn't, i have something. it's from earth. found it in my locker.

[showbizpanache]

What is it?

[circumitus]

andrea chenier.

ever heard of it?

[showbizpanache]

That's an opera or something right?

[circumitus]

yes. it's an old one.

[showbizpanache]

You like opera, then? How about other forms of musical theater?

[circumitus]

like what?

[showbizpanache]

Broadway, of course.

[circumitus]

doesn't ring a bell.

but i'm interested.

[showbizpanache]

Chicago, Rent, Cats, Les Mis... You've never heard of any of those?

[circumitus]

no.

i didn't even know what andrea chenier was until it showed up in my locker.

[showbizpanache]

What's your name?

[circumitus]

rey.

who are you?

[showbizpanache]

Kurt.

I'd love to be able to introduce you to the music of my people, but I haven't come across any of it on the ship yet. Let me know what sort of music you find, okay? Anything would be good, I think; we are in dire need of it after all.

[circumitus]

there are apparently instruments. perhaps you can make some?

but i will let you know if i do find anything.

[kingofbabylon]

I've got cds I wouldn't mind sharing?

[circumitus]

what kind of cds?

[kingofbabylon]

We've got Filter, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Moby, Black Eyed Peas, White Stripes, some random club mix cds... [ insert a few random other semi popular artists from 2003 into here. ]

[circumitus]

i don't think i've heard of any of those before.

[Which isn't saying much.]

[kingofbabylon]

because of past, future or different dimension entirely? year?

[circumitus]

depends.

what year are you from?

[kingofbabylon]

2003. you?

[circumitus]

[Rey has to seriously stop and think about it for a moment, and really hard. If this was a month ago or so, there'd have been no way for her to answer that. What she knows now, no matter how little it is, she now recalls walking the Nevadan streets long enough to catch wind of it:]

2147.

[...She thinks.]

[unparental]

Then tell me where and when and I'll hand it over, as long as you promise to give it back, blah blah blah. You know the drill.

[unparental]
