Doctor from Flowers Over Bones: Ask me anything!

[trustme]

[As planned and announced online a few days before, Doctor makes himself comfortable in one of the practice rooms in front of the laptop Angel set up for the webcast. When the clock hits noon it goes live. On the website the chat room opens to the public.]

Hello every one! Ask me some questions and I shall do my best to answer.

[Join the chat room now!]

[ooc: NPCs friendly and mean both welcome. Earn yourself some MP that way.]

illuminerk3: Would you rather fight a hundred duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?

[trustme]

[ Doctor starts rubbing his chin, giving the question serious thought. ]

Hundred duck size... One horse size...

Either way I'd try to make peace diplomatically with them first! I'd choose... The horse sized duck. An entire hundred angry little horses sounds very difficult to handle- so many to try calming or defending against at once, and they'd keep coming! The horse sized duck would be powerful but at least it would be easy to see coming and then there's only one creature to try calming down.

[off_the_edge]

illuminerk3: What if you can't calm it down? Like it's some kind of foaming, rabid big-ass duck dead set upon destroying all life other than duckkind.

[trustme]

Still better if there's only one duck. All those horses could run off in a hundred different directions and infect others with the disease.

I don't know why I'd be handling the animal. Seems more like a job for animal control.

mrmcfly: What do you play again? I forget

[trustme]

Most commonly, cello. But I've been nicknamed by fans "The Crazy Instruments Guy" because I play so many of them. Guitar, piano, accordion, harp, just to name a few.

[heymcfly]

Get outta town! That many?

Jesus, I'd like to try out a piano one day. Guess you're the guy I'm lookin' for as a tutor, right? Do synthesizers count as pianos?

[trustme]

I don't think all piano players would approve of that terminology. Keyboard is the best bet for synthesizer. I'm still working on my synthesizer skills, personally. Most of my electric instrument knowledge is as simple as plugging in a jack. The theramin is the most "modern" one I can play well.

If you do want piano lessons though or to work on synthesizer together, knock on the band's penthouse door some time.

therealdeal42: dude why is your violin on steroids
are you over compensating for something

[trustme]

It's not actually a violin. It's a cello. It's a larger sized member of the strings family- a common misunderstanding.

[ Really how many times has he had to explain his instrument's identity now?On the up side, he's used to this sort of remark. ]

[sponsorigami]

therealdeal42: okay celo
are you over compensating for something

[trustme]

No. I'm not really worried about my reproductive organ size. I've been playing the cello since childhood, long before puberty or knowledge of society's insistence on pressuring those with penises to be any particular length.

[ Does that answer your question? ]

[determinate]

frolick: why did the skeleton want a friend?

[trustme]

Hmm... To have some body to spend time with?

[determinate]

frolick: yeah!
frolick: she was so bonely!

[trustme]

[ Doctor throws his head back and laughs. ]

That's wonderful! Er- I mean it's sad the skeleton doesn't have a friend but I like that joke!

Do you have any others?

bassthunderbarret: you've never gotten an actual doctorate have you?

[trustme]

No. Doctor is just a nickname I've had since childhood.

[sharktrash]

bassthunderbarret: do you have any idea how problematic that is? it's not a nickname, it's an insult to anyone who has actually put in effort and talent to earn that kind of title.

would you say your special snowflake syndrome inspires the amount of unnecessary drama present in most of FoB's songs?

sharkbitch57: Where are your fucking eyebrows? Also Squalo would wipe the floor with your tame, boring notes.

[trustme]

[ He reaches up to his forehead and runs his forefingers over his brows. He shakes his head and sighs. ]

Did my eyebrows run off again?! I hate it when they do that!

Have you really listened to any of my music? One person in the chat claims my music is overly dramatic, now you're saying it's too tame. Really, what is it? [ He starts laughing. ] I've played plenty of pieces before that would be more suited to the tastes of a rock fan like yourself. You must have missed it.

[in_an_augustforest]

sharkbitch57: Whatever you play your music but you don't live it. You're just a poser in a stupid hipster band.

[iitrebel]

[Time to harass Virgo members on his secret secondary account.]

[...Even if lately he's sort of been losing his interest in it ever since the charity concert.]

oralsatisfaction: who do you hate in the music business?? be honest.

[trustme]

Sorry to disappoint you but I don't really have any enemies or rivals.

[ He scratches his head. Nah. He won't give Yan any credit- and the fellow had gone missing any way. ]

I'm in the business to create and play. Not pick fights.

[iitrebel]

oralsatisfaction: lots of people go in with an intent and still encounter hiccups. cmon. theres no one that pisses you off even a little??
