[console | video/action] it's too late, tonight
[When the video signs in, it's not Erskine sitting at the console like usual. There's no one sitting at the console, in fact, but there's a fleeting glimpse of Anton, who turned on the video, before he moves aside. And then the reason for Anton turning on the video becomes obvious.
Erskine is in the middle of the Hotel lobby, holding a broom, and using it like a microphone. And he's belting out U2's Pride (In the Name of Love) with enthusiasm. Dancing around. Bending against the "microphone" at the really emotional bits. Hitting the screamy parts. And he actually sounds pretty darn good, considering the fact that he's one step shy of roaring drunk.
Valdis shows up in the video for a moment, dancing with him and laughing, and Raine can be spotted in the far corner facepalming and trying to pretend she doesn't know these dorks. They are all, for the record, wearing glittery party hats.
And any kedan or Foreigners that happen to wander by are getting personally serenaded.]
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your priiiiiiide
In the naaaaaaaame of looooooove--

Klaus! You a U2 fan?

Either you're not much of a fan or I butchered the song. Yeah, that's them.
Sorry I didn' catch you b'fore we went out. You comin' over now?
no subject
I'll be there shortly. I'd not want to miss any of your musical renditions.
no subject
[He grins]
You want a serenade?
no subject
What of you, Mr Ravel? Any particular favourites?
no subject
I do love Vivaldi, and 'm partial to Holst. Chopin. Strauss. Paganini. I like Glass too, even though he's more recent.
[He grins.]
You've caught me out--U2's one of the only modern bands I know. I'm a bit of a music snob, otherwise.

I don' mind it, I just haven' had the time to really sit down and pay attention. The last century's been a big blur of work, work and more work, and before that....
Well, before that, rock and roll hadn't come around yet.
[He could have said before that was the war. Bet that's what you were expecting, wasn't it?]
no subject
Ah, I hope you get a chance to enjoy the innovations in music. There have been some truly remarkable artists.
no subject
Maybe. I've got Anton's record player and a few good classical records here, though. Makes sleeping a whole lot easier.
no subject
Mr Stark was kind enough to charge my phone and laptop. I have some music on there, though none of it is rock and roll. Would that be agreeable?
no subject
[He lies. Moonlight Sonata forever.]
no subject
I can speculate on worse things to have to listen to, but I have no issues with you borrowing it.
no subject
[Erskine, no. You're drunk. Go home.]
You're probably right. And thanks. Maybe after I've slept off some of this whiskey, yeah?
no subject
[Ersk, pls]
Of course. It's there whenever you want it.
no subject
Thanks, Klaus.
