009 | Video | Day 115

[Balthazar appears in the feed looking bored and restless. He's run out of alcohol, in point of fact, and he's stressed about it. The cure, obviously, is conversation.]

Kore. I've decided to follow in our dear Castiel's wingprints, albeit belatedly. Believe it or not, I'm an angel of the Lord. And the handful of you who didn't already know that are welcome to ask questions.

For everyone else: did you know that the meter of 'Amazing Grace' is such that it can be sung not only to the traditional tune, but also to the tunes of both 'House of the Rising Sun' and the theme song from Gilligan's Island? [How does he know this? It may be better not to ask.]

I'll prove it if someone insists, but you'll be sorry. This vessel isn't built for singing.

I'm not sure I know those last two. Is your voice good enough to teach me those?
[He's hungry for music, now that the only music he ever hears is his own.]

[tryingitall]

I'm not sure. I suppose I could try. Worst comes to worst, I might be able to pick out the tune, if you'll let me touch your guitar.

[He's not sure how proprietary Rat is about that. It may be his most valuable possession, after all, and he doesn't seem to have many.]

[bluesrat]

Bessie? Sure. I mean, don't damage her, but you're welcome to teach me a song on 'er!

[He named it, so yes he is attached.]

[tryingitall]

Mind you, I'm not good with instruments, either, but I know enough not to damage...her. [Aw, he anthropomorphisizes his guitar? That's sort of cute.]

Perhaps we'll give it a try later.

[bluesrat]

[Even over the video, he looks a little sheepish.] Willie gave her to me, after... well. It's a long story. Meet you in the garden in a bit?

[tryingitall]

I like long stories. Why don't I make you tea and you can tell me about it?

I have a few things to do, but I'll be there later.

[bluesrat]

Not a good story, really. But I'll see you there.

[tryingitall]

Ah. Well, if I had any alcohol left, I'd suggest that. We'll have to hope the music is enough.

[bluesrat]

We'll mourn the loss in song.

[tryingitall]

Sounds like a plan.
