second verse ♫ voice/action

[blindknight]

[ VOICE ]

[ Lindsey sighs, sounding far more subdued than he did when he first arrived. ] I can't believe I'm asking this but...

I need a tour guide. I can't... find my way around this fucking place. The hotel lobby's as far as I've gotten.

Incidentally, that's where you'll find me. I'm the tall guy with the blond hair and sunglasses.

Crazy people need not apply, thanks.


[ ACTION ]

[ And lo, there is Lindsey, seated somewhere inconspicuous, white cane leaning against his chair as he fiddles with a cell phone. It's not the phone he was given upon his arrival, but rather his own, for all the good it does him. At least he knows how this one works.

He'll glance up every once and a while when someone passes too close, wondering if they're someone here to answer his call ]

[blindknight]

Do we have any clues?

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

I would ask someone who had been here longer...

[Action]

[blindknight]

[ He shrugs ] I guess that's fair.

[ Pause ] So I hear there are music stores around?

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

Most cities have them, don't they? I've stepped in briefly.

[Action]

[blindknight]

I might wanna stop in, I guess.

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

Are you particularly fond of any style of music?

[Action]

[blindknight]

Actually... I'm looking to price a keyboard.

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

A creator? That's even better.

[Action]

[blindknight]

[ He gives a short laugh ] Is it? I'm no Mozart or anything. I just play whatever the fuck I hear on the radio.

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

I will judge that for myself.

[Action]

[blindknight]

All right. Just consider yourself warned.

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

We could head there after we pick up food.

[Action]

[blindknight]

Works for me.

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

The cafe isn't far away.

[Action]

[blindknight]

[ He nods, taking mental notes of where they've been and how long it takes to get from place to place ]

... Yanno, I think I'm a little late in thinking of this, but I'm not sure if my credit card'll work.

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

If it isn't fine, I can cover the meal and have you repay me.

[Action]

[blindknight]

You sure?

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

Of course!

[Action]

[blindknight]

I... uh. Thanks, I guess.

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

You are most welcome.

[Action]

[blindknight]

... You said you're a knight, right? What are you a knight, uh, of exactly?

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

France. A loyal paladin, of a king long deceased.

[Action]

[blindknight]

Huh. You're still loyal to the guy even though he's dead?

[Action]

[ridertothemoon]

Of course. To my king I pledged everlasting loyalty - to my companions eternal friendship. I will not give up either.

[Action]

[blindknight]

That sounds like something out of a storybook. No offense.
