Video; un: disconinjafrog - backdate to during the storms

[dj_jiraiya]

[The feed turns on and the camera is being adjusted. Considering the storm raging outside, they couldn't do this on the porch like he had originally wanted, but that was fine. Yosuke had an acoustic guitar in his lap, a pick held between his lips as he finished tying his hair up into a bun, long bangs tucked behind his ears. He was in serious need of a hair cut but he has, admittedly, been lazy. Souji didn't seem to mind it. He pulled the pick from his mouth and held it between his knuckles.]

There, that should do it.

I dunno 'bout this, partner...

[Despite his nervousness, leg bouncing as there's shuffles behind the camera, he looked a bit excited. Souji was getting himself comfortable, only popping into frame from the corner to make sure he was actually out of frame when seated normally and not leaning over. Yosuke laughed and shooed him back.]

You promised me a concert and I think this would be fun for everyone else, too!

If they even wanna...

Partner...

Okay, okay! [Deep breath.] Hey guys, Yosuke here. I uh, figured it might be fun to provide some entertainment during this crazy weather. I'll take requests, assuming I know the song. Or you can just sit and listen, whatever you wanna do. I'll go first, since I got a promise to fulfill to my partner.

[because he still hasn't quite worked out how the video bit works but he does have the audio down. Either way, he can watch the video and listen to the music]

I've never heard anything like that. Do you know Bach, or maybe Vivaldi?

[dj_jiraiya]

I know of them. I never really learned the classical stuff though, I'm sorry.

[he was self taught, so going for the familiar songs of his time was easier for him.]

[brawlcreed]

Ah. You'd be one of those lads from the future, then.

[dj_jiraiya]

I am, yeah! 2012. What about you?

[Way back in the past if his first thought was to ask for Bach. Also. “Lad”?]

[brawlcreed]

[Poe and Jim are farther in the future than that, but still, it makes his head spin]

Eighteen sixty-eight. My sister and I were recently knighted by Queen Victoria.

[dj_jiraiya]

Yo, seriously?! That’s so cool!

[He doesn’t know all that much of western culture past maybe the 1950s and even then, it had been relative to music than any actual history. But there’s some things he’s learned either through osmosis, his partner’s study habit, and movies.]

This place must have been a real trip when you got here, huh? It was even for me.

[brawlcreed]

[He can pick up from context that "cool" is a good thing, so he smiles]

I did have a bit of a crisis when I first arrived, but I've got it more or less handled now.

[dj_jiraiya]

Glad to hear it! It’s pretty wild out here, and I don’t just mean the storm.

[He plucked at a few at a few strings, watching Souji off screen for a moment as his boyfriend went to reheat the tea and get some more snacks.]

Doing this kind of gives me some normal in my life, y’know?

[brawlcreed]

I know what you mean. This place is massive compared to London, but I try going about my usual business as much as I can. Keeps me grounded.

Never was too interested in music. My sister plays the piano a bit, though.

[dj_jiraiya]

Never been to London, although I'm sure it'd look different for me no matter what. Ever been to Japan?

Piano is something I hadn't learned, although I probably should. I just learned the guitar on my own.

[brawlcreed]

Ha. I never even left England before coming here.

I suppose you've got the time to learn now, if you like.
