i feel like there's a minor key joke to be made somewhere but i can't think of what it is right now

what do you mean your faces merged??

[ufufufufu]

We'll hold on that until it comes.

Tenkai and Mitsuhide. I decided that I was lonely and thinking as someone who loves killing is only driving me mad in this cell, and thinking as someone who hates killing only ends up having me confused why I am in a cell. It's best to just slide them together like someone suggested once to me, but I wonder if this is a good idea.

[starmark]

...and what's been the outcome of that

has it made being in the cell easier, or what

[ufufufufu]

This has been a mistake.

But we'll ignore that topic. Better ones. We're close to Christmas. I wonder, do you know any Christmas songs? I'll sing you one to show my appreciation to you.

[starmark]

i know a couple

i don't know which ones you know but

...

look if it'll help you cope or forget or whatever for a little while i'll play for you if that's what you want

[ufufufufu]

I'm being a little obvious, aren't I?

It would have been more honest to ask, right?
But I was scared that you would say "no."
It is your right, and I would not mind.
But as someone who held all my bloodlust so I would not murder Katsuie and Kira, I felt I should show some more respect to you than what I just did.
Sorry.

[starmark]

i don't step on people when they're already down

i think it's ugly, when you're in a better position than someone else, to use that against them

and if you're at a point where you're merging your faces then i think it goes without saying that i'm definitely better off than you right now

...no offense

...

what song do you like

[ufufufufu]

Probably.

Jotaro is a kind lord. Such kindness is what would be rewarded later.
Because you would definitely take offense if someone were to use it against you, right?
The only song I liked most was the one that Oichi would sing because it was about our lord.

But I won't ask you to sing such a thing.
Please sing a song that you like most.
Because I'm asking something unreasonable, I should make it enjoyable!
I'm not someone who would ask someone who is doing me a favor to do more than what they're asked, after all! But I am someone who would do more for someone if I was doing THEM a favor. Hahaha.

[starmark]

okay well uh

give me a little bit to think of one i know the words to, but in the meantime there's one i know that i can do pretty well

[Is anyone surprised that what he plays is a song by Wham? Of course not, because this is Jojos.]

[ufufufufu]

[ His ears lift up a little at the sound of the playing. Even if Jotaro can't see it, he voluntarily wags his tail and claps-- out of time since he does not know the song -- along. ]

That was wonderful. Do I really deserve another song? Isn't that too much? The debt I am acquiring with you is quite a lot now, isn't it?

[starmark]

maybe? i guess

but you said you wanted singing

is that important or is it just the music you want to hear, really?

[ufufufufu]

Music.

I didn't appreciate it enough.
Ah!
Don't I sound depressed?
I can't say that I am, however!
I have a lovely friend in you.
A friend that I wish well in all things!

[starmark]

if it's just music, i could play for hours

it's good practice for me anyway and it doesn't hurt me anything to leave the microphone on to record it while i do

...

and you did get me the guitar so

i don't mind playing more, is what i'm saying

[ufufufufu]

Really?

Really, really?

That would make me exceptionally happy.
I'll find a way to repay you back for this.
I don't know how.
But I will.
Kindness should be repaid, right?
It should be rewarded because there is sometimes so little of it in the world.

[starmark]

sure

do you care if i switch between the electric and the acoustic

it's the same playing and everything but some songs are just better on one than the other

[ufufufufu]

No, no. Not at all.

I don't know the difference in sound so switching doesn't mean much to me!

Go with your heart!

[starmark]

...

do you want to know the difference

it's not hard to explain

[ufufufufu]

I do!

If you please, teacher!

[starmark]

okay well

the different sound is because they're different instruments, so they generate sound differently

the electric needs an amp but the body of the acoustic does the same job because of the way it's made

so the acoustic sounds more twangy and kind of...i guess more like a traditional string instrument, but the electric has more of a screech and a wail to it

[ufufufufu]

I see, I see! I think?

If you could have the one that screams and wails more than the one that doesn't, I would enjoy it very much!

[starmark]

i mean it doesn't sound like people screaming or anything but "wail" is the best way i can describe the sound

look just listen

[He says, before he proceeds to shred a little with some power chords thrown in for good measure.]

[ufufufufu]

[ Hm? His ears lift a little -- ah, it is like a wail, isn't it? Not human. Unfortunate. His eyes roll up as he tilts his head to put it into words. It isn't a sound that he's heard before. Ever. But it's wonderful! Really wonderful! ]

Amazing!!!!

An instrument can make that sound!! :O AMAZING! I'M REALLY AMAZED! I can't think of better words. I'm sorry!! :O

[starmark]

yeah it's

here look, i'll play the same song on the two different guitars and it'll be all the same notes but it'll sound completely different

[The proof: you can't play Danger Zone on an acoustic. Hence the acoustic version sounds...interesting, but the electric version sounds like the driving rock that it's supposed to.]

[ufufufufu]

[ DANGER ZONE. No, shush.

He holds his hands together as he listens to the song. Ah?! It does sound a lot different, doesn't it? It really does. He presses his lips together as he nods after the words. Agreeing to them after listening to the music but realizing that he actually has to write something. ]

How did they realize that the sound would be different???????

[starmark]

because the point of an electric guitar is that it makes sounds by having the strings produce an electrical current

there's no electricity in an acoustic, it makes sounds on vibration alone

it's the electric part that changes the sound quality into something different than just the vibration notes
