[It's been a while since Ren's taken some time to sit down and write something on paper. He's been playing around with words in his head, but it's been too long since he's actually written anything.

He didn't need a melody to write lyrics. Once he knew the melody, he could always change the lyrics so that they fit. The most important thing here was to get the feelings right. That's why it was important to write them down when you felt an inspiration.

Ren's Mareep was sleeping next to him after exploring the beach. Ren wasn't sure how long he had been there. Possibly hours, but he wasn't in a hurry to go back.]

[Sometime in the evening there is an audio post posted on the network.]

I've been seriously thinking that I should start making a musical career here. I want to leave something behind me once I leave this place. Something that I would be remembered from. [What a deep thought that is. Ren chuckles.] Though I didn't mean to make that sound as gloomy as it might have sounded. It was just something I thought about when I was writing lyrics.

[There's a small pause before he continues.]

I had a point in making this post. I want to hear your opinions on what kind of music you want to hear. What kind of messages should the songs deliver or what kind of a mood they should set?

I look forward to your answers.

[With that, the feed goes out.]

Twenty... [He hesitates for a moment, and then adds:] Though not for much longer, I guess. I'll be turning twenty-one in a few months.

[... Which is not old at all, thank you very much.]

[saxsongs]

That's not too bad. Especially since you really don't look like you're over twenty. At least in my opinion.

[audio]

[darkenedgales]

Thanks... I guess.

[There's a brief pause before he continues, almost as if he was somewhat hesitant about what he's about to say.]

... I get that a lot, actually.

Especially from bartenders.

It's better if people thing you're young rather than old, trust me.

... well, not in bars, but anyway.

[darkenedgales]

You're speaking from experience? I mean, I always thought you were older than me... but then it turned out you're still just a brat.

[He loves you, really.]

[audio]

[saxsongs]

It must be just because I'm so much taller than you are.

[Right back at you.]

[audio]

[darkenedgales]

[Why you-- Two can play this game!]

Height ain't everything. It's all in here!

[He makes a telling gesture towards his head.]

[saxsongs]

You know, that might have been an impressive talk...





... if this wasn't voice only.

[audio]

[darkenedgales]

[And then there's silence.





Oh.






Um.]



--You get the idea!
