[Video] Kazoo 1 - Late At Night Before Obligatory Train Nap

[gentle_jim]

What's up train stains? Handsome Jack here. I was just in the music carriage and I came across the darndest thing. Does anyone else remember these little plastic shit flutes? Haha, brings back memories.

And since I happen to be super musically inclined, I thought I'd serenade you all with a couple of songs I happen to know by heart.


[Cue super loud and intensely awful recorder playing. And its not going to stop any time soon because Jack doesn't need to breathe.]

[Eight for one was actually enjoying it. Not the recorder, obviously, that was terrible, but she had trained herself to tune out irrelevant information and was instead focusing on the nice accompaniment to the awful recording playing.]

Excuse me. The music is quite good. What are the name of those songs?

She'll have to note to hear the real ones.

[Okay, that's weird enough to get him to pause for a second to answer.]

You're shitting me, right?

[consider8]

Mmm! [Fortunately she's shrewd enough not to insult him right away as he still has not provided her his answer. The challenge would be talking about anything but the actual playing...]

I have never heard anything like it before. [On purpose. I mean, the sounds he was making was a bit like metal grinding during an especially warped joint, but that was not the point. Although there was that one time a pod of teenage orcas tried to make that garage band...] What sort of style would you say it was?

[gentle_jim]

[He still cannot tell if she's being serious or if she's just really, really good at bullshitting.]

Preeeeetty sure I'd call it 'trolling.'

[consider8]

Huh, that's quite the coincidence. That's the same name as doing something to evoke anger and hostility. And that would be a little silly, since we're all going to be stuck in here for what could be a very long time.

[..so much for not showing her hand.]

[gentle_jim]

[Ah, and there it is. Well done up until now though- she had him going.]

Don't know about you, toots - but I don't plan to be here that much longer. And a guy's gotta get his kicks somehow, y'know?

[consider8]

[Well, there was a little bit of truth! Just not his playing, more.... everything around it.]

Do you have an actual plan or this is more a personal aspiration?

[She can't fault him that last part though. It actually sounds like something the Inklings might do. Just less obnoxiously.]

[gentle_jim]

'Course I have a plan. And a couple of back-ups too. [He snorts.]

Everyone else here has pretty much given up. Not ol' Jack.

[consider8]

It is not out of any desire to do so, I promise you.

So far the only way off appears to be to walk out on the days the train reaches the platform... or the expiration of the train.

Ideally, we would prefer to avoid that second option.

[gentle_jim]

Yeah, well. I'm pretty good at thinkin' out of the box, princess. [He taps the side of his head]

And as an AI- I got a few more options than most people. [Wink]

[consider8]

[His bravado is irritating, but so was his playing. Still, if he could find a way out, she would deal make a deal with the devilfish]

I wish you luck.

You may need it. My understanding is the systems on this train is... limited.

[Buuut he's not the first AI to make such a claim. WOW was he a different one to the last two she's known, too...]
