So... in my memories, I go from being a slave to being rescued by a cult that really doesn't want me... They are like the upper-class Free Masons of the Victorian era but with superpowers, and I'm the street trash they have to walk through, holding their noses.

Guys, I'm starting to think my memories don't have a 'fun' or 'happy' setting...

It's okay.

I do better when I have something to work on with my hands. I haven't really been able to do that until now.

That makes sense. My outlet's music, which you've probably figured out by now. Hmm... Hey, we could try and make that your outlet too. Neither of me are amazing music teachers, but you're a smart guy, I can walk you through the basics of an instrument?

Or, I don't know, maybe we could find you something cool to build? A bunch of us looking could probably turn up something exciting.

Maybe.

What instruments do you play?

[traceofeffort]

Just the ones you know about. Acoustic guitar and bass, and the latter I'm kind of cheating with. I know a little bit of keyboard, but that's from trying to compose my own songs and being absolutely terrible at it - I'd love to be better but I have enough trouble with the instruments I know how to play already!

Learning to play guitar might be fun.

Well, then! I'd be up for that. I can't promise I'll be a good teacher, but it should be entertaining at least! Oh, I'll need to look up tabs for some things that'll be easy to start with, and put some fresh batteries in the tuner...

I'll need a little time to get set up, but I should be good in a few days, if you want?

Just let me know when you want to give me a lesson.
