THE BOX OFFICE

[tellthestory]

This is where you can meet privately with the Balladeer! The Balladeer is almost always around during the day; just knock.

(Secretly, the door's usually not locked if he's inside. But you wouldn't want to be rude, would you?)

I guess. But not her.

[The guitar.]

Did...management give you the other ones?

[tellthestory]

Yeah, they did. It was nice of them - I had some like that before, but I couldn't take everything with me when I left.

[solomonjihad]

...so...you were a singer back where you came from?

[It made some sense, right?]

[tellthestory]

Oh, I did this! Not the showrunning part, so much, I was never in charge of anything. But the rest of it - singing, performing...all of that.

[solomonjihad]

.........Have you always...been alone performing?

[tellthestory]

Well, no. It wouldn't be much of a show if it were just me - it was me and the people I was narrating for.

[solomonjihad]

...the people you were...narrating for?

[Whuh??]

[tellthestory]

Yeah, like this.

[He gestures between the two of them.]

[solomonjihad]

...I see.

[Not exactly, but...enough?]

So this...this is going to be your job after us, too..

[tellthestory]

Maybe not this-this. I've never been a showrunner before, so it depends how things go.

But it will be something like this again. That's what I do.

[solomonjihad]

...And...you'd never do anything else?

[tellthestory]

I...can't just do anything else.
