[ so i guess he's at the bowling alley!!! sqq seems to be observing more than playing because look, even in his tiny pea brain long flowy sleeves and bowling balls sound like a bad idea. for now. maybe he can be convinced I don't know.
anyway, henlo stranger. he just tilts his head at kazuki. ]
Are you familiar?

With what, bowling? Yeah, it's not that hard.
[ looks at him. ]
You might want to change if you want to play, though.

[ stares back at him like what, never heard of tasuki? ]
It's not really a spectator sport. There's no point if there's not at least two people playing.

[ hm. okay. after adjusting the guitar on his back, kazuki sighs and gestures over towards the rack of bowling balls. ]
You'll have to pick a ball first.
You'll have to pick a ball first.
[ kazuki's gonna bowl with a guitar and sqq's got his breadsleeves. surely this will go great.
anyway, i hope neither of them remember about bowling shoes and just eat shit later on but for now, in a show of 'HM THIS IS ALL STRANGE AND UNUSUAL TO ME' sqq goes to pick a ball, weighs it, and with careful observation, rolls it down the path. dice says only three go down ]
Hm.........

[ he won't he just doesn't feel like setting it down when they don't even have equipment. also joke's on you because i remembered bowling shoes before i even read this tag so nyeh
kazuki just watches this happen though ]
You should probably change shoes before you keep going, or you'll end up throwing yourself down the lane, too.

[ the extreme :nyeh: energy about communal bowling shoes ]
Of all things, that's the last one I want.
[ it sounds definitely like a comment that wasn't supposed to be overheard but he's too busy scowling at shoe sizes to care. mutter mutter clown shoes mutter mutter ]

[ thinking "bro is so grumbly" as he pulls the guitar off to set it down in a chair. ]
No one's making you do it, man.
[ if you want to fly down the bowling lane then by all means do so, just give kazuki a second to hit record first ]

[ he will Die if he ever stops complaining ]
One must do it properly or not at all.
[ he says, but he looks like a dog waddling in shoes so who's really benefiting here. but here he is, ready to try again whenever. even if he looks like he's eaten a sour lemon the entire time ]

[ kazuki's benefiting because this is hilarious, actually. maybe he will even snap a pic when sqq isn't looking. ]
That's the spirit.
[ anyway i rolled a d10 so kazuki is gonna shoot his shot and hit... uno pin. wao. ]
...You might even beat me.

Guess not.
[ damn, he's actually surprised? who knew the old guy had (bowling) game? it's his turn now... and the dice say he gets two whole pins this time! tch. ]
I never did like bowling.

Maybe it's beginner's luck.
[ don't be a sore loser, kazuki. ]
[ don't be a sore loser, kazuki. ]
[ i see you left me on read before binch. anyway since they're at the vr room, he gestures at the goggles. ]
Was there something you wanted to see, Shen-san?

[ maybe he 'teehee'd' his way to victory, gosh!! anyway, I guess since kazuki is the music person, sqq will set up a generic ye olde bamboo house with a guqin on the table. think lan zhan levels of nonsense. with a unnecessarily dramatic flourish, he sets himself up in front of it ]
Tell me, does one have knowledge of old instruments?
[ even though it's vr and everything is perfectly tuned, he still absently goes through the motions of checking and testing. you can never be too sure!!! ]

You're... surprisingly comfortable with this whole thing.
[ all the other ye oldes were asking him how it works... maybe someone already explained. he'll come right up to take a closer look! ]
Some. I don't think I know this one. What is it?

[ the nice thing about the week change is kazuki can't feel the sheer OOPS sweaty emotion. which means sqq just smiles faintly and moves onto playing a faint melody while they talk. i'd link something but the music puts me to sleep and I need to finish typing first ]
The world this teacher comes from has creatures known as dream demons. Those who can manipulate reality and make one believe everything you see, feel, and touch is real. Once one was introduced to the concept, it was easy to understand the similarities to such.
[ anyway he keeps playing, sqq clearly practiced at the instrument ]
This particularly is a guqin. Those meant for scholarly pursuits were required to learn one of a few instruments to be considered a master of the arts.

I... see. Dream demons. Why not.
[ not a single one of you is normal except for kazuki, huh. he's the only one who doesn't get to be special...
he's glad to fall quiet and listen to the sounds, eagerly watching how sqq's fingers move across the strings with a thoughtful hum. ]
Is that so...? It'd be nice if that was how people looked at it now.

[ sometimes you just have to be the one normie in the pile of ridiculous fantasy nonsense. he wouldn't know how that is, haha! anyway have some mood music]
Indeed, this teacher is aware it's fallen out of favor as the centuries have passed but...
[ well, not entirely he guesses ]
One believes these specific pursuits of my time have evolved over time to new skills and instruments?

There are still musicians who play traditional instruments, but it's a lot less common. They're more expensive, so it's not that surprising. You'd be more likely to meet someone like me who plays guitar or drums than something like this.
...I like it, though.
...I like it, though.
Mm, yes. One can see how it's fallen out of favor. It is, after all, quite the expense to keep up with lessons especially if there is no specific schooling for such.
[ that's a small wry smile ]
One doubts the pursuit of cultivation is still recognized after all.
