[A dusty, murky looking room, a piano, and Will.

The piano’s being played, if the sound is anything to go by, although it’s quite evidently not being played by Will, as he’s still a few steps away from the piano. Moving forward, he places his device down on the top of the piano.

There’s a flicker of fascination — amusement, genuine — and for a moment, Will looks every bit the teenager he is. His lips quirk upwards, and he seems to have forgotten that his communicator is on, let alone recording. Fingers, slender and scarred, hover inches above the keys, and his expression shifts to something more contemplative, although the entertainment is still there. After a moment, he drops his hand, the sound from the sudden action ringing out and clashing with the melodic tune that had been playing previously. The former stops abruptly, and is followed by the sound of a slamming door.

Will laughs, and his attention returns to his device. Sitting down on the stool in front of the piano, he gaze briefly darts between the keys and the device. Letting out a breath, the smile (smirk) returns, and he lifts his chin.]

Unfortunately, I only know to how play the simplest of tunes. [Pointedly, he starts playing what sounds to be a nursery rhyme. Whether or not he does know how to play anything more, it’s not clear.] Perhaps I should ask our mystery guest for an encore.

[He falls quiet for a moment, studying his now dusty and dirty fingers for a moment before wiping them against his trousers.]

I don’t suppose anyone else has come across strange and unusual buildings and rooms that almost certainly weren’t there before? I’d dread to think that I’m imagining things and that rather than having just delighted you all with a stunning piano solo, I’m walking alone around the city, talking absolute nonsense to thin air.

There are worse mysteries.

[His voice is a low hiss.]

None I was planning to make topics of conversation, however.

[ voice ]

[i-archmagus.livejournal.com]

Nor I.

[ voice ]

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

Then that begs the question of: what was your point?

[ voice ]

[i-archmagus.livejournal.com]

Illumination.

If you fail to grasp it, then that is not my problem.

[shall-yield-us.livejournal.com]

If you want a ghost to not be ghastly and greet you and teach you the woes of the pianoforte -- well, you should smile more. Make it a touch of conversation. Possibly, flirt. Although not very obscenely, if you please.

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

I prefer to flirt with the living.

[shall-yield-us.livejournal.com]

Too true. The corpses you might fancy probably perished for love. Always so difficult competing with a deadly predecessor, hmmm?

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

It's not love I'm after.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

I haven't, but I'm insanely jealous now. Looks like fun.

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

All you have to do, I feel, is wander out into the fog and get a little lost.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I'm gonna give it a go. So your ghost done anything besides play the piano?

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

Not yet, but there's always time.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

You mean like whole friggin' Amityville Horror houses?

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Creepy ass house that could bleed from the faucets?

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

I've never met one.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Nice to know I'm not the only one who wants to go exploring, then.

voice;

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

Which almost takes the edge off it.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Find anything interesting? Pianos playing themselves isn't nearly creepy enough for me.

voice;

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

How lucky that I wasn't pinning my hopes on it being worth anyone's while.

[That is, no.]

[synanthrope]

Watch out for the spiders.

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

And what do the spiders do, Saya?

[synanthrope]

They'll eat you.

[bitesvampires.livejournal.com]

I like to think that I'm bigger than most.
