[squinting at the drums as he comes over]

You go first! I've never tried them before.

[preowned]

[ he will grab some drumsticks, although he seems to. squint at them for a minute before he plays.

he's. doing it like taiko drums when they aren't.

he frowns. ]

Huh.

[agleam]

[he pauses for a moment.]

It was good for a first try!

[don't patronize him

but then there's a little noise from a violin across the room...]

—Did you hear that?

[preowned]

Is someone else here?

[



he's taking the drum sticks with him and walking over ]

[agleam]

[watching curiously...

imagine if they both immediately got strangled because they don't know what they're supposed to do. no, the violin just plays the same note again, almost insistently.]

Okay, I definitely didn't imagine that.

[preowned]

Does it want us to do something?

[ it does it again.

he looks at rupert. ]

[agleam]

[squinting at the violin again...]

How much do you know about music? All the notes correspond to a letter, right? Maybe it's trying to give us a message.

[this isn't a video game please stop]

[preowned]

... I have to be honest with you, Rupert, if that's the case I am very useless here.

[agleam]

...Yeah, me too.

[a beat.]

If you want to talk to us, smack the drum! [the violin plays the same note.] ...Okay, so that's a no.

[preowned]

... is it just playing the same note over and over again?

[agleam]

At first I thought it was just trying to get our attention, but it does sound really similar...

[rule of funny says if they don't try anything within the next five tags they're just getting piano wired]

It's hard to say what it means without knowing what the note is, though.

[preowned]

Right. It could be some sort of code...

[ he walks up to a completely different instrument, a guitar, and plucks at a random string. ]

Hm...

[agleam]

[the violin plays the same note from before, almost insistently. what could it mean...

rupert just squints at it.]

[preowned]

Aha!

It's broken.

[agleam]

Oh! That's a good point. Maybe we're supposed to fix it, or play different notes on it?

[preowned]

I am not sure how to fix something like this...

Let's try different notes.

[agleam]

[picks it up and plays a different note very badly because he doesn't know how to play the violin

the violin decides it's had enough of their shit and they're getting piano wired]

[preowned]

[ HE ISN'T SURE WHAT THEY EXPECTED ]

[agleam]

[touching the cuts on his neck with a frown once they're out in the hallway done being strangled]

...You okay?

[preowned]

... I am mostly at a loss of what we did wrong there.

[ he's also rubbing his neck. he doesn't understand that puzzle. ]

[agleam]

This place is stupid and I wouldn't worry about it too much.

[preowned]

How's your neck?

[ he's going to peer at rupert's ]

[agleam]

Not awesome, but... You know. I've had worse.

[preowned]

You certainly have.

[ stares in cyoa ]

At least we know to avoid this one now.

[agleam]

I wonder if we were supposed to break the violin.

[no]
