Wandering King's Rock and Roll

[fauxcalibur]

Who: Richard the Lion-nerd and OPEN
When: Dec. 4
Where: around Tokyo, back home at his temple
What: Saber has an electric guitar and he's not afraid to use it



[A - Near Shore, Tokyo, evening]

[By nature, gods tend to escape the notice of mortals. This is probably how Saber has managed to set himself up on a street corner with his electric guitar and an amplifier without getting chased off by the police for making himself a nuisance. He has his guitar case open in front of him and it doesn't seem to be deterring him in the slightest that no one has put any money in it.

To his credit, he does actually look and sound like a professional. He's wearing his usual leather jacket with its rhinestone cross on the back, but he (mercifully) is wearing a T-shirt with a stylized anime robot on it instead of the horrible Hawaiian shirt Caster gave him as a present. Add that to boots and ripped jeans and the fact that he actually knows his way around an electric guitar and you might actually believe that he's about to pull this whole thing off.]

Who'd like to hear a song about King Arthur?

[Except this is Saber we're talking about.]

[B - Near Shore, Tokyo, early morning]

[There are supposed to be bear ayakashi in this park and Saber is supposed to be staking the place out to try to find them. However, no bears are immediately evident, so he has his phone out and is watching something intently on it.

He is, at least, being polite and wearing headphones.

This, however, is not going to help him notice incoming bears.

This could be a problem.]

[C - Far Shore, near Michael's Temple]

[If you happen to be walking past the stately medieval castle that this dork resides in, you might want to dodge because Saber is running out of his own gates, laughing delightedly while being chased by several irate geese.

God only knows what started this one...]

And why not? If you've never had the chance before, now is the best time! [Celestia only seems to get more excited at the prospect of such freedom, having been enjoying it herself. Her wings spread slightly along with her grin.] This here and now looks both delightful and no cause for fear. If I could play an instrument I would follow your example without delay.

[fauxcalibur]

There must be some manner of percussion that would work well for you!

[Why not enable someone else into this sort of thing?]

[letteropener]

Drums? I do have a little rhythm, but I have to say they seem very complicated, keeping so much time and all. Also, aren't drummers all a little crazy?

[fauxcalibur]

You'll simply have to practice and keep your wits about you!

[Plenty people manage both things simultaneously. Saber is really only proficient at one of them, however.]

[letteropener]

Hmm. [How simple and straightforward. Practice does make perfect, does it not?] Well, might I prevail upon you for advice on how to begin?

[fauxcalibur]

I would imagine that you would need little to start with for percussion, seeing as you could drum on anything...so perhaps you could watch some videos on the internet and try to mimic what you see!

[He still hasn't 100% caught on to the fact that the reason he can learn things that way almost instantly is because of a power he attained upon arriving here...]

[letteropener]

[Some talents are much more obvious than others, it's true.]

Oh, there probably are instructional videos! I'm still not used to that being a thing, so thank you for reminding me.

[And yet somehow everything seems to have worked out.]
