UN: JUSTSOPHIE | TEXT

time for the bimonthly NYX report. introductions, i'm sophie cuckoo, your resident telepathic mutant barbie, hopefully it's nice to meet you. anyway, if you're new here, there's a gigantic building in charronway that i run for community strengthening purposes, called NYX. we have classes from swordfighting to demonic magic 101, and we serve homemade lunch and dinner made by our people.

so, as per usual, if there is a class you'd like to take or teach, please let me know and i'll see what i can do. second thing, we need more cooks, so if you want to help out, also just let me know.

place is also available for meetings, gatherings, parties if you're fun and know how to throw one, lectures, or whatever. i'm there during the afternoon, chrissy takes the morning shift, and always go through her first if you need me during that time.

as the end of it, as per usual, as a building exercise, let's do the usual. it goes over so well whenever i do it. tell me your problems, and i'll tell you how to fix them*.

*Neither NYX nor Sophie Cuckoo can be held liable or responsible if you listen to a random person on the internet and do it.

I am not the one who plays host to demons.

But very well, in the interest of "breaking the ice"...

[A pause.]

I am Sunday, sitting Bronze Melodia and Head of the Oak Family. Titles which, regrettably, hold no weight here.

...Here I am but a fellow traveler.

As for my problems, well, I have many. One of the more vexing at the moment is my halo. It's been slightly tarnished since I woke up here, and, since it is condensed energy, I've been unable to polish it. How do I fix that?

That...

I was joking. Mostly.

[His first attempt at a joke in years, and it fell flat. Well, he thinks to himself, he won't be trying that again any time soon. Clearly, he is no good at humor.

There is a soft percussive sound as he drums his fingers and sourly dwells on this meaningless failure. Meaningless, but still painful.]


Forget it.

It's your turn to tell me something about yourself, by the way.

The piano?

I used to play as well, in my youth. I was good at it.

[A beat.]

Playing music gives people an outlet for their emotions. Teaching the "residents", such as we are, of Etraya, might not be a bad idea.

I agree, Miss Sophie.

[A bit of the cynicism leaves his voice.

Music, the piano, community... All things that are or once were important to him. Thinking about music reminds him of home and makes the constant discomfort of his alien surroundings more tolerable.]


Heh... and who knows? Maybe you'll have enough students to put on a show one day. I think it could brighten everyone's spirits.
