Ardura might have been a fairly hot place but Niso didn’t mind so much. This world’s Mia had been kind enough to help him and Sera get established with a small place, even managed to wiggle them a bit of time without rent. Apparently this world had a lot of support for people in their position, what with how many people tended to actually ‘fall’ into this world. (speaking of which thanks to his old world he kept having the habit to call himself a ‘faller’ which was annoying as hell but oh well.)
Either way, with the support he’d head, and having to rely on some of his lesser talents from back in his own world, Niso had managed to get a job as a pianist for a local bar/resteraunt. Kinda depended which time of day it was which of the two it called itself it seemed. It wasn’t the classiest place, but that was good, it meant Niso could play more chaotic and upbeat songs he’d learned since practicing the piano again after meeting Sera, rather than something caaaalm and relaxiiiing and bleeeeeeegh.
Right now he’d just finished a good set and was tipping his head back to address the few consciously listening to the ambient music. “Ooookay guys! Going on my break! If you’ve got any requests just leave them on the Piano for when I get back. Yeah? Okay? Cool!~”
Pushing up from his chair, Niso left open a little book of fake sheetmusic he’d wrote himself. Really none of it made sense as he knew the songs but not how they were written down. All the book was good for was letting a stranger or two see which of the ‘outsider songs’ they wanted him to play. Some titles were even ‘wrong’ and were actually just a common line from the chorus so people could recognize him despite his fake sheet music.
Pulling himself up to a small table, he slid into place just as the waiter brought him his usual juice. It was kinda weird working for a living after stealing a life time’s worth of savings, but ya know it wasn’t so bad. He was playing fun songs, he had an amazing girlfriend to go home to, a…okay he had ‘a Lucien’ lets leave that one at that, but generally life was good. Now and then he got the itch to do something big and dramatic and chaotic, but so long as he was new to this world he wasn’t about to risk angering it if it was bigger than he could handle. He was chaotic, not stupid.

All the heat in this world was not exactly nice, but it didn't do much more to Torio than somewhat annoy them. They didn't need to sweat after all, being made of pure magic instead of flesh and (actual) blood. They had wandered around for a bit and decided to hang around in a bar for now. In here it seemed to be a little cooler than outside. They were drinking from a large glass filled with an almost opaque red liquid and listening to the piano being played by some humanoid figure. When the pianist got up and left the piano, Torio decided to go take a look at it. They left their glass of blood orange juice on the table they had been sitting at and walked over to the piano. There was a book of sheet music, but they didn't have experience with musical instruments and thus couldn't read sheet music. They had never seen piano up close like this before, so of course they were curious about how it worked. They decided to puch one of the keys of the piano, which made a low, deep sound. They then decided to push one of the keys on the other end of the piano, which made a high "plink"-like sound. Pushing a key in the middle resulted in another sound, Torio wasn't sure how to describe this one. They decided to try to figure out if they could play one of the songs from their home Plane, though Matter music didn't usually contain piano. Their attempt was fairly short-lived because they had no idea how to play the piano.

Niso flinched a little at the deep tone from the Piano, eyes narrow and glancing back towards the Piano he’d been working at for the evening. Briefly he assumed whoever it was was just passing the instrument and decided to cheekily poke one of the keys, but as a much more high pitch tone came he flinched again. Now, Niso wasn’t a possessive person, Sera could attest to that, but something about someone touching his Piano rubbed him wrong. Maybe just a tick from his normal life, like how he still folded up his clothes or put coasters under drinks, little, annoying, normalities, he couldn’t be rid of. Still, picking up his juice, he moved to the Piano.
He watched the odd creature poking at the keys for a moment, creeping up behind him with the practice his past life of being a bit of a creep had given him, and announcing himself right up by the creatures ear.
“Hey watcha doin?~”

Torio we live in every moment but this one why don't we recognise the faces loving us so Torio was about to give playing the piano another attempt when suddenly a voice sounded in ear. "Hey watcha doin?~" They almost jumped up and slowly looked to the side where the voice had come from, seeing the person who had been playing the piano before. "Jus- just trying to play a song the piano?" Torio answered the pianist's question, their ears lowering like those of a scared animal. Maybe being a little curious wasn't a good thing this time. They stepped away from the instrument and took another step back just to be sure. "It's... harder than I thought," they said, their ears slowly going back to their usual position, "playing he piano in a way that sounds... erm... pleasant." Now that they were closer to the pianist, they could see more of his appearance aside from his humanoid form. He seemed to be a relatively young, masculine human, quite a bit taller than Torio (which isn't very difficult because of their imposing height of five feet and two inches) with messy black hair and blue eyes. He didn't seem to be anything special for a human, for as far as Torio's limited knowledge of humans went. Humans were weird beings. "What songs can you play? If- if you don't mind me asking." they asked. This human probably didn't know any Primordial songs, but Torio was still curious about what he did know. Torio had always liked learning stuff about different cultures, so this was hopefully a good way to learn a few songs from whatever human culture this young man was from.

Pulling back a little when the poor thing jumped, Niso had his usual oblivious smile on his features as he watched over the odd creature sitting down at his keyboard and rounding hi, carefully pushing down the wooden cover of the keys and laying his rear into it as he leaned back, addressing the creature with eye contact now that they were facing eachother more easily. His lack of empathy didn’t really register the fear, so Niso solely remained chipper and a little out of place in the face of his reaction. As the primordial took him in so readily Niso was more observing him at a surface level. He’d been here so briefly he hadn’t even begun to memorize all the possible races and truth be told it just felt impossible to when he looked at it objectively. Still he could notice a few oddities about this creature that made him appear interesting, so Niso was willing to sacrifice his break to entertain the creature. “Oh I can play a fair few, many of which I likely won’t ever be playing again for personal reasons.~” He smirked, not bothering to explain that. He scooched himself onto the piano stool and slid up to his usual spot at the keys. “Mostly tunes from my homeworld though, I can go er…a piano cover of I’m a believer, round table rival…er…oh. I’ve been trying death waltz but you need like 4 hands to pull that off realistically.” Looking back to the creature standing at his Piano, he’d also add. “Oh and er, I would suggest just not trying to play the piano in places like this in the future. It’s kind of a er…staff only thing ya know?” He shrugged. “I mean I don’t care so much but I know people come here to hear music, not key’s being randomly poked.” Torio
