[ it's hard for nodd not to be a little worried about the few younger folks he's met since arriving. he's glad to see kazuki near the mess hall, perhaps on his way toward or from a meal. ]
Hey, kid. How's it been?
[ nodd's a freaky little man but their current psychic link will project the sincerity in the question. this time. ]

I have a name.
[ that he isn't offering. but the vibes here are fairly calm for now - actually, a little pleased? ]
Better than expected for being kidnapped a few days ago? I don't know how they did it, but they actually got me some stuff for my guitar.

[ nodd is respectful enough not to noogie, but give it a couple weeks of them both alive. for now, he grins and mouths Kazuki to prove he knows it.. ]
That's right, you said you were a musician. What did you get?

[ good his hair remains intact for now ]
Just some guitar picks and replacement strings for now. They said I could ask for other stuff later if I needed it, too, so I might see about getting an amp so I can really get some practice in.

[ any itch of anxiety nodd was feeling from all the nanite-connections are ebbing. kazuki's a nice boy. li'l grumpy but nice. ]
Will you play for an audience sometime?
Will you play for an audience sometime?
Like a concert? I just did that a few weeks ago - it was pretty fun. I don't know when our next one's gonna be, though.
[ hold on a second-- ]
You're part of a band! You didn't mention.
You're part of a band! You didn't mention.
You didn't ask. Playing guitar is on my profile for a reason.
I hope you can find it within yourself to forgive me for not memorizing the hundred profiles of my fellow junior crew.
Just this one, but you're on thin ice, Nodd-san.
[ the vibes say otherwise ]
I wouldn't say I have them memorized, but it helps you figure out how to approach people, a little bit.

I'd rather someone asked me questions face-to-face. Who knows how honest those profiles are.
[ it says he's 63!!!! which he is, but. ]

[ it doesn't take long for nodd to arrive. he smells of mushroom, but looks quite perky. ]
Hello, hello.
Hello, hello.
[ mushroom????? ]
Hey, Nodd-san. Gimme a sec, I'm just trying to pull up the right venue.
[ and the sim room shimmers, transforming from various nature scenes into... a concert hall! there's already equipment set up, so kazuki heads right over to hop up on stage. ]
Nice. This'll be better for the acoustics.

I mean, some of the things they say have to be a joke? And they definitely don't have everything you could learn about a person, but it's interesting to see what they do say.
[ earthy. don't worry about it. concert for one, concert for one! ]
Oohh. Should I get off the stage? Do I get to stand here?
[ he was in an opera house, recently; large, but not concert hall large. ]

You can if you want, but it's louder up here.
[ they're basically on top of the speakers. but he'll go ahead and plug into an amp! sound check time. don't let the first notes of an electric guitar startle you, my man. ]

[ well he can probably be found in the bar a bit later as one of the few places that aren't mcfucking locked now touches ground. he's not drinking though, just. here. and the vibes are absolutely horrid. ]
...You were locked in, too, right? It wasn't just us?
...You were locked in, too, right? It wasn't just us?
Yeah, right in here with a bunch of folks.
[ fucked up, how relieved he is to see kazuki's okay.
dahut was a kid. what in the absolute fuck.
this has soured nodd's usual calm something fierce. ]
What about you?

What about you?
Observation deck. There were a lot of us - Dahut and Pearce-san, too.
...Dahut was fine last night.

[ shit. that makes this more complex. ]
Was his friend there?

[ they seemed close. it doesn't make sense that dahut would wander away. ]
What was the mood? We had a mixture--tension and folks happy we were stuck with the booze.
