[ Anakin is sitting on a barrel, it looks like it's painted entirely blue. He's in a course coverall, and there's many different dripples and dabs of paint in various colors. White and blue are the most featured, then black and grey. But there is some yellow and red sneaking in there. There's a fleck of the same blue on Anakin's jaw, and he looks a bit sweaty. ]

When we arrive here, we are assigned a city, an apartment, a job. How many of you have kept those arrangements? What made you change them? If you didn't change them, why not?

[ He rolled his shoulders back, and twisted a little, stretching his back out. ]

I know there's a fair few of us with lightsabers. I'd like to get a bit of a dueling club together, but first we need to hold some classes. So anyone who is Force Sensative and wants to join in, let me know. It can be privately. But I will be holding some basic safety classes first to make sure everyone leaves with everything they brought with them still attached.

That is a perfect fit. I don't know what a harpsicord is, what kind of sound doors it make?

[am_i_a_monster]

It's sort of like a piano, except the strings inside are plucked instead of struck.  It sounds like this..

[Abigail walks to her living room with her harpsichord, making sure the video stays on her.  She sits and plays.

[ It's actually a good thing she leaves the video going because the word 'piano' doesn't mean too much either. ]

Oh! It's like a valachord.

[am_i_a_monster]

Is it?  I've never head of a valachord.

[kraythero]

It's from home. Think a study wooden frame, with strings running top to bottom on opposite corners, and played by plucking the stings, which is done by pushing buttons. They are fairly popular for music that's more classical or made to appeal to the fancy dress set.

[ Snobby rich people, he means. ]

[am_i_a_monster]

The classical, fancy dress part makes it sounds a little like a piano.  [Hannibal certainly qualified as part of the fancy dress set.]  A harpsichord's considered more old-fashioned by most people.  Like really old-fashioned, from hundreds of years ago.

[kraythero]

The history of our galaxy goes back about a hundred thousand years, and the history of the Republic about twenty-five thousand. A few centuries isn't that old, to us anyway, and would certainly be viewed as artistic accomplishment there. Quite in vogue.

[am_i_a_monster]

Ah, that's the problem then.  I'm from the wrong galaxy.  I knew it was something.  [She chuckles.] It's lucky I've got my harpsichord power here, it helps to draw the crowds in.

[kraythero]

I'm sure it does. It'd make a hell of a show back home too. You'd probably sell out in a few hours.
