[network][Day 138|video|@hotstud_xxx] You Get What You Need [open]

[rubikscomplex]

[There's no pithy commentary from House as is more common for the introductions to one of his piano sessions. It's also on video at the moment because House... can't figure out how to change it to just audio. He really hates this particular effect. So, anyone in Snowhell who has yet to actually see Dr. Hotstud House will get a view of him. He's a haggard, middle-aged man who's looking closer to just plain 'aged' after more than three months in Norfinbury. He has the tablet propped up where the sheet music would usually go, and keeps his eyes down or closed as he begins to play. He mouths some of the words, brows furrowed and body swaying to the music.

He runs through that. And then, because he's not going to be able to play and 'talk' to people at the same time, he moves into another tune before stopping and checking for responses.]

Okay, sure, but you only think that 'cause you're super old.

A-and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, just... in a 'That's the Truth' way.

[devoutish]

Old in years or old because of my century?

[headjacked]

Century.

What was popular in your day? I know my classics and my ancient classics, buuuuut...

[devoutish]

What's the early twentieth century to you?

I thought you lot didn't know Earth.

[headjacked]

I'm, um. From the 2800s.

Humanity has expanded, like. A ton. A. TON.

[devoutish]

But you preserved Earth music?

[Enough to have memorized the lyrics???]

[headjacked]

Well, yeah!!

Is that really so weird?

[ His brain is part computer, Alfie. Just accept it. ]

[devoutish]

It's a bit surprising. Yeah.

[headjacked]

There was a particularly excellent few centuries of music that have lived on. The further civilization marches, the bigger the stretches of culture we hang onto.

Or. Something. You get what I'm saying, right?

[devoutish]

You've got more to choose from.

[headjacked]

Exactly! Recordkeeping keeps getting more and more advanced.

[devoutish]

You wouldn't've saved a lot of the music I know.

[headjacked]

Probably not. B-but if you wanted to teach me a song or two...

[devoutish]

We're having a sing-a-long here; take a look.
