056 - Pretending Truth or Dare never happened...

[major_west]

I thought that hangover would never go away...

I feel as though I've exhausted the possibilities for recreation here. I almost wish there were another port, flood, anything to break the tedium. I can't believe I'm asking this... Does anybody have a board game?

Nevermind that. I'm not that desperate yet.

I just need... to get away something to do here before I go completely mad. Something more to strive for than 'don't try to kill anybody for X amount of days'.



What's the point of this?

[She throws back her head and laughs, not missing a key, not one note, looking from him to the piano.] Major West, if you do not enjoy my music and as such my efforts to entertain you, I shall lock you up for poor behaviour, yeah?

[Lis winks and starts to play Only the Strong (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZKb_nWXhAA)] I could sing too, but I'm afraid it's slightly rubbish. Have you been getting on well enough here?

Hm. My singing is much the same, I'm afraid. [He watches her hands on the keys for a moment, then nods] Well enough. Some of the people here are absolute pri--

[Stops himself]

Are not worth my time. Overall, it's an improvement on where I-- came from.

Then we'll settle for a lack of vocals, hai?

[She has a habit of slipping Japanese into her speech.]

Ah, well, suppose that's something then. Want to tell me about home or is that too personal? Or perhaps too painful to remember, as I noticed some are more homesick than others.

[It takes him a moment to realise what she meant by 'hai', then he nods]

It's probably for the best... for all ears in the area.

[Then his expression darkens a little and he becomes aloof again]

Too personal. And hardly worth discussing.

[She winces and changes the song to something more familar, hoping to bring him back out of the stoic mood. Lis chooses to play Greensleeves (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16n8OmsX0H8&NR=1), something light, festive.] Sorry love, yeah?

[Lis pursed her lips and watched the black and white keys as she spoke.] I'm from New York, though originally London. I have a twin brother and another one who is clinically insane. Before I became trapped in this body, my hair was blonde. I once dated a guy with wings but was daft and fucked that up. I love the colour purple, plum to be precise, and I am fluent in French, Spanish, German, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese.
