I found somethin' that seems familiar to me. I think it's a song? I wondered if anyone could tell me more about it...

Tom, he was a piper's son,
He learnt to play when he was young,
And all the tune that he could play
Was 'over the hills and far away';
Over the hills and a great way off,
The wind shall blow my top-knot off.

It kinda makes me sad an' I don't know why. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

It'd be a hell of an oversight if I complained about the heavens and their lack of care for what's happening here and then let my shinki get harmed by my own lack of vigilance. [And though he tends to automatically correct people using his first name, it's not something he's going to bother with over the network. It can't possibly be worse than some of the nicknames he's been getting.]

I can see why it'd be an improvement for some people. Especially since it's an afterlife for a lot of them.

[Joker tends to decide what name he likes for others - unless they happen to be one of the gentry. Then he remembers his manners.]

Say what ye will, I still think it's nice of ye. I'll do my best not ta dwell. Somethin' tells me that's the best choice anyway.

[The chill that climbs his spine every time he reads the rhyme is enough to convince him to be...cautious.]

I think I'm one of their number.

I feel like we've had this conversation before, about you finding something I've done nicer than I did. [Shun's hardly trying not to be nice, but he figures these are things that come with the territory of being here and having a shinki.] Probably. There are some people here who've remembered things, it looks like, but I don't think they were trying to.

It's more peaceful than what I came from, at least.
