Different character day! I feel like Morusque doesn't get much attention, so I decided to give him the spotlight for a bit. Enjoy!

Music was a beauty that swept your kind for generations, but living among the robots, it was scarce. Music was simply just notes from a radio. There was no soul to it anymore. Sure, it was nice to have a bit of a jig to it sometimes, but it never fully satisfied you, as you really wanted to watch a live performance of real music being played. This was until you found Morusque, the musician of the Slums.

"Hello! What brings you here, human?"

"Uhmm.. well, do you play music?"

"Of course! My guitar is a bit of a giveaway, to be honest. You interested?"

"Y-yeah! I haven't watched someone play in years. Do you mind?"

"It would be my pleasure! Which one do you want me to play?" He said, pointing to 8 music sheets. "I'll play any of them, so choose whichever!"

After scanning through each of the notes, you picked one called 'Mildly Important Information' and handed it to him.

"Ah! You have good taste. This one's my favourite one, I'm glad to see someone appreciate its value." He said, scanning the notes. After a few seconds, he began to strum his guitar. The sound was beautiful to hear in person. The way the notes sounded as smooth as honey, and the way Morusque put all his passion and feeling into the notes, as if he were playing from the heart.  Soon, he had finished, a little too soon for your liking.

"Well? Did you like it?"

"That was beautiful."

"Awh, well, you could come back tomorrow? I'm sure I could play you something else, if you want. Maybe, we could hang out too? Get something from the bar?"

"That would be wonderful!"

"Say, I didn't catch your name. What was it again?"

"Its y/n."

"Y/n. Its sounds pretty!"

"Not as pretty as your music."

"Oh, stop... You gotta go, haven't you?"

"I can stay a bit longer..."
