[There's a click and Jack's voice comes on from, seemingly, a little bit away from the SFC.]

I'm thinking I might do this more often..play these songs. There are some people here not from Earth so they haven't heard the songs and nearly everyone from that planet wasn't alive at the time these songs came out anyway.

Besides, when you have a record player, you don't keep the sounds it makes to yourself; record players produce the best sounds in my opinion.

Anyway, if any of you are familiar with Bing Crosby...real sweet guy. Quite a looker, too.

[He goes quiet but soon the emptiness is filled with the sound of a record playing and a song goes out on the SFC.]

[bestestfurrend]

[After the song is done:] Ohhh, I'd nefur heard Earth songs befur but I think I like them! Thank you fur purrlaying them fur us!

Audio

[sometimes_boe]

Of course! Music is something universally enjoyed. Besides, I think the 40s were the best years in Earth's history.

Audio

[bestestfurrend]

But I thought that Earth was a lot more than forty years old, even if it's still a purrty young purrlanet?!

Audio

[sometimes_boe]

Oh, it's much older than 40 years. 'The 40's' refers to the years 1940 to 1949.When I left the Earth was in the year 2011, but it's much older than that as well.

Besides, I mainly just meant for the music the humans made.

Audio

[bestestfurrend]

Ohh, okay, okay, I see! I apurrlogize, I don't know furry much about it at all, but it's always great to learn more!

Audio

[sometimes_boe]

No need to apologize! I know far too much, I don't mind answering questions.

Audio

[bestestfurrend]

I've got lots and lots of questions! Uhmmm actually so many I'm not furry sure where to start now.

Audio

[sometimes_boe]

Well...start with whichever one you think you'd like to know the answer to most.

Audio

[bestestfurrend]

What are human quadrants like?!? Lily was expurrlaining it a bit to me but it was all so confusing and complicated! I think I understood some of the things wrong.

Audio

[sometimes_boe]

'Quadrants?' Do you mean relationships? I think I remember seeing that post... They're the same as any other, I suppose. You have parents and offspring that make up the main family and then other 'branches' that make up the other relations.

...has anyone ever given you the tree analogy?

Audio

[bestestfurrend]

Yes, that's right! Relationships! ...but that doesn't sound the same as ours at all! We don't have purrents or families or anything like that!

No, no, they haven't. What is it?

Audio

[sometimes_boe]

You don't have anyone who you're related to? No one you share, genetic, similarities with?

It looks like this. It's called a tree because it makes a tree shape with the more distant relations acting as 'branches.' [He sends her this picture.]

Audio

[bestestfurrend]

Nuh uh! Not like humans do at least! Trolls all share a few similarities with each other and a bit more if they have the same blood colour but that's about it! We live on our own after we've pupated and our lusus looks afurter us.

Uhm. That looks furry confusingd! Ours is more like...wait a minute.

Here, like this! [She sends over this drawing. Good luck figuring it out, Jack.]

Oh, except me and my furrends weren't hatched like that, we were cloned in a lab and sent back through time on meteors, yup yup.

[likesavantgarde]

You knew him?

[sometimes_boe]

Met him once. Wish I could've gotten to know him better, but he left an impression.

[behisstrength]

A charming voice, certainly.

[sometimes_boe]

I always liked it. There are others I like more, but Bing's is very nice.

[behisstrength]

Will you be sharing those others?

[sometimes_boe]

I think I will, yes. Are you familiar with 40's Earth music?

[behisstrength]

No. I am not.

[sometimes_boe]

Well, if you're interested, I'll be playing a few more songs as I find them, mainly from the 40's; it was a good time for music, in my opinion.

[behisstrength]

I anticipate them greatly.

My homeland had little contact with the rest of the world during the era I am from. Nonetheless, music is a love of mine.

[sometimes_boe]

Music is a good form of expression, art, and communication.

I find it can be enjoyed no matter the language or source.

[amomentofsympathy]

Where did you find the music equipment? Is it readily available here?

[Not going to lie, having some sort of boombox in her new home could help ease the barrenness of the place.]

[sometimes_boe]

Yeah! Some of the stores around town and a couple in the Nostalgia Nook. Of course, you need tokens for the Nook, but the local shops have some if you know where to look.

[amomentofsympathy]

I see! [Nasuti holds her chin in thought, and pauses.] Do you need to do anything to earn these tokens?

[sometimes_boe]

If you were to hold a job or even just run some errands for the locals, then you would earn tokens.

[amomentofsympathy]

That sounds simple enough! [And would keep her out of the house, too.] I wonder what kinds of jobs they hold...is there a place to seek employment?

Voice

[zelda_hylia]

What a lovely voice that man has. Thank you for sharing that song.

Voice

[sometimes_boe]

Of course! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Voice

[sometimes_boe]

It is rather nice. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Audio

[singsforsouls]

...it would be enjoyed, if you did.

[ Naoya only speaks after the song is finished. ]

Audio

[sometimes_boe]

Then I'll be happy to continue the broadcast.

Audio

[singsforsouls]

Do you run a radio here?

Audio

[sometimes_boe]

No, I'm not a radio man. Besides, I'd only be able to play music, there's rarely any news to cover.

Audio

[singsforsouls]

That's not such a bad thing.

Audio

[sometimes_boe]

That's true! No news is good news, as they say.

Audio

[singsforsouls]

And with the network, anyone can get news if they need it, really. Music is a bit different.

[ And, in Naoya's opinion, a lot more enjoyable. ]
