[It's piano time again!! Charlie is back at the school, this time with some friends, but right now it's just Charlie on screen sitting at the piano. There's no preamble this time. He figures the song will speak for itself. He sings along in the spots where he remembers the lyrics. And in some spots where he doesn't, whoops. Whatever! It's too much fun to care about accuracy.
When he's done, he looks back up at the camera.]
Hey, everybody! Sooo, I'm up at the school again! I mean, duh, right? Obviously. But this time I got my buddies Charles and Quark with me! [He points to them respectively. Quark is offscreen, but Charles can be seen doodling around on his tablet in the back of the room. He looks up when Charlie says his name.]
Oh! Did you guys know Quark can play piano too? Cool, right? Little dude's got some tricks up his sleeve. He's gonna play something for you guys in a minute. [He leans in close for this next part so he can whisper. Secret!!] Charles is being lame and says he doesn't want to broadcast music stuff but I'm totally gonna talk him into it. I'm gonna teach him something. It'll be good.
[He pulls back again and claps his hands together.] So cool! Uh. Before Quark does his thing, though... Has anybody heard from Cecil? I know he was on the obituary a little bit ago, but um, kinda getting worried, y'know? But he's Cecil, so maybe he's just doing that thing where he tries to send messages through like psychic ghost channels or something, and I'm just not getting 'em. So, if you seen him, let me know? But, um. If not, then here's a weather report anyway. In case he comes back. Or, um, doesn't, I guess. Yeah. Anyway.
[He starts up the weather report, which he does know all the lyrics to this time. He hopes Cecil will like it.
When he's done, he's quiet for a moment. Then he nods, and switches off the recording, presumably to make room for Quark's time in the spotlight. Maybe that'll cheer him up.]

[There's a lull after Charlie's made his post to the network, and then Quark's up to bat. He angles his tablet down so the feed mostly gets his hands on the keys.]
Hey guys--I've been practicing this song that I was taught awhile ago. I think I'm doing okay, but tell me what you think.
[No mention of who taught him the song, of course, because that would be breaking a bond between men. So he readies his small hands, and then begins to play this song. At first, he seems a bit nervous, or maybe it's just that his hands are stiff with the cold, but then his fingers move more naturally across the keys. He's clearlty been practicing this song just like he said--and maybe only this song. When it's over, he turns the tablet up so he can smile into it, looking bashful.]
And...that's all! Thanks for listening, guys.
((ooc note: Charlie, Quark, and Charles (if he stops being a party pooper pbpbppbpbpt) will all be responding to comments! Also, If anyone's around the school and wants to crash the music party, I'll put up a toplevel for action post stuff!))
