March, 2011

The sun is shining without a cloud in the sky. The grass is green. A man with green hair, not as green as the grass, reclines on a park bench. It is built to seat at least three people, but he is taking up the whole thing. He is wearing a black top hat, which is tilted to shade his eyes.

Nearby, a man with similarly light green hair plays the trumpet. He would be wearing a beret, but his hat is upside down on the grass. A card is pinned to it that indicates he is accepting tips.

Namakeldar yawns. "Cousin, you are putting entirely too much effort into this music of yours. Just watching it makes me weary."

The man on the trumpet continues to blow.

"Even if you somehow make a career out of music, this won't serve it. Nobody's going to say: 'There goes Morioka Takayuki. He got his start playing trumpet in the park.' You should learn to relax and let life come to you."

The only response is smooth jazz.
