"Yeah."

Rebecca sways to the beat. This lulls Catherine more deeply asleep than she had already gotten nursing, and Rebecca moves her to her shoulder.

The song stops after a few minutes and nothing comes on to replace it.  "I have an old music player somewhere; you can borrow it if I can find it."  (The ear-things only barely impede Rebecca in hearing this, especially now that they aren't making sound of their own.)

"Thank you!"

Permalink

"You're welcome.  If I can find it."  Munch munch.  "If you're sticking around for the second service I can have my family bring it to you then."

Permalink

"I guess I don't have anything else to do besides stay here, so I guess I am."

Permalink

"It's a lot more... well, you'll find out whether you like modern music."

Permalink

"Is there something wrong with it?"

Permalink

"Lots of people like it, and like it more than the stuff you already heard.  I don't really, which is why I come to the earlier service."

Permalink

"Huh. I guess I'll find out."

Permalink

Nod.  "Or I could play some for you now."

Permalink

"Sure!"

Clicky clicky clicky.  "My niece likes this one."

Hello, my name is child of the One true Queen
I've been saved, I've been changed, I have been set free
Surpassing grace is the course I've seen
Hello, my name is child of the One true Queen

Rebecca wiggles about this one. "I'm not sure I recognize all these instruments!"

Permalink

Thekla smiles into her cobbler.  "Yeah, it makes sense that we'd have ones your world hasn't gotten to.  Or maybe we've just gone in completely different directions.  Have you recognized most of the ones you've heard so far?"

Permalink

"I think so but maybe my guesses were totally wrong because I didn't know about the new ones!"

Permalink

"Do you play anything?"

Permalink

"Piano!"

Permalink

"We don't have anything called that.  But it could be that we just do names differently."

Permalink

"...It's got strings inside a big chamber and they're hooked up to little hammers that hit them when you press keys..." She mimes.

Permalink

"Oh, yeah, we have something like that."

Permalink

"Oh, good, what's it called here?"

Permalink

"There are a couple.  The phonochord is the main one used today and the paeslura is an older one that isn't as popular anymore.  And there are probably others."

Permalink

"Is there a way I could try them?"

Permalink

"There's the phonochord upstairs."
