WHAT IN PERSON I GUESS
WHERE The Park
WHEN THIS IS DAY 10 BECAUSE I SAY SO BUT TIME IS IRRELEVANT SO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT

[ The sun is shining and the birds are chirping and you can tell that summer is coming! In fact it's the perfect temperature for a picnic. Who doesn't love picnics? The citizens of Quiet Mounds have in fact also had similar ideas.

You may find yourself drawn to the park. Which is decked out for a picnic even. There's a buffet of food -- hot dogs, chips, so forth and so on. And then a series of blankets strewn about for you to take your food to. Plastic SOLO cups, 2-liters of off-brand sodas and some really really really bad lite beer if people are into that.

Maybe you just enjoy yourself, sounds fun, right? Maybe you discover that you like vegetarian hot dogs! Maybe you like real sausage. Maybe you sit down on a blanket with someone else and find that you are physically incapable of leaving -- well, until a secret is shared.

If you need a hint about how to leave your blanket, there may be an 'instruction guide to making friends' pamphlet tucked inside the folds of soft, perfect to sit on, picnic blanket. But if you just like floundering. . . well, flounder away. ]

Oh! No. I want my own name to go down in history, thank you.

Ohh, nice nice nice, I get that. How's that going so far with fame and lasting history?

Pretty good, as I've heard from a guy from 500 years ahead of me.

Five hundred—? Shit, dude, congrats. That's like Bach-level.

That's one of the "classical" Bards, yes? I've been searching on youtube.

Yeah, Beethoven, Mozart, Listz, those guys. Composing was a huge thing.

I've liked what I've heard.

Have you picked at any of the modern composers? Nowadays they get famous with movie soundtracks, but that's not bad. you get some cool visuals to go along with the music.

I started with Johnny Cash and I've sort of been searching around on Youtube from there.

Nice! He's a classic.

That's what I heard! I'm not entirely sure where's best to work from still, or what's in a standard repertoire.

Looking up top cover songs might get you a standard listing, I dunno, but I hope you've picked up Hotel California. That's a classic that needs to be in this place.

[Starts playing the opening bars immediately]

[CLAPS]

Haha, yes! Well there you go, you got the most important song!

I can keep going, if you like! But, yes, it was on EVERY list.

Either way, it's going to be in my head all day now!

Then let me get it out for you.

[after the long long long intro, gives a really fucking emotional take on it]

[claps and opens his wallet to ceremoniously dump the whole remainder of his change into the lute case]

Oh! Wow, thank you!

You seriously earned it!
