This is where he was taught how to play the piano.
[The post starts off with the repeated sound of a keycard being rejected by one of the hotel's doors, followed by a small yawn. The handle is jiggled a few times, but nothing seems to happen.] That's...noticed a change in the music? ...It's making me sort of sleepy.... ooc: So she's locked out. If no one in particular wants to take her in for the night, I'll probably send her to the sleepover.
...Looks like the little math fetishist found a way out before you were able to. I can't sense him anywhere. Of course, this leads to him getting back to Shibuya and finding an empty seat without you or I to put him back in his place. Would you mind moving it with your escape route? I hate to seem pushy, but there's the matter of returning to a wasteland, you know.
Say, populace. Could you do me one teensy favor? Because I'm horrendously bored, as most of you are beyond the really-quite-lame practical jokes this world has decided to play in regards to hiding a... Its just the way he rolls. Not me, I totally love all of you and I want a bit of damage limitation just in case anyone thinks that I'm being horrible through him. I swear I'm not! Thanks, darlings! ]
So I've gotten myself settled in a bit. I've got a room here at the hotel and I"ve looked around some, but there's only so much to look at. I've gotten bored.

He starts with a clear C scale, going up of course, in the Fibonacci sequence. C, D, E E E, F F F F F, and so on. This goes on for about 25 seconds before he gets bored and the audio cuts off.]
-nd that button doesn't work... oh wait, it's on! Uh, excuse me, but I think I got off at the wrong stop. This doesn't look anything like the subway station, or any part of Shibuya for that matter....if I'm late. [There's the sound of some fumbling on the other end before she speaks] Let's see... there's a hotel across the street and an empty lot behind me. What happened to the station?
I hate to interrupt your exploration Megumi -- though I think its most likely the best thing for you to get yourself to the hotel sooner rather than later. They are starting to board it up. I'd say they'll be finished shortly. Sho, I'd recommend the same. You're looking at around 10 minutes.
ƒ(y) = {y | y ≥ undefined; y ≠ shibuya} t = 1.27 hours. ... did I fall asleep? [At this point he switches to the voice function. His tone sounds very well ... annoyed.] Well isn't this zetta interesting . Where the factor am I now?
