( The audio starts with some light strumming of a lute as Chance tunes it a little back into place. He starts talking as he works on this process, stopping every so often to test a note out. )
I've been listening to some local music, which is really nice I might add. ( The note he strums here is sharp, making him pause as he cringes before he continues. ) I'm a bit used to learning my audience where I go, but you know I have a little more to work with since I knew my world enough. I knew the way to frame our worldly themes to fit day to day life.
It's not vastly different here, but it's different enough- ah! ( He sounds a bit cheerful as the sharp note goes back to being proper. ) And some things are universal I'm sure.
Like I know a local favorite that killed no matter the tavern at home...
( The strumming picks up from the leisurely pace he was testing at to a quick and light tune. song referenced found here. )
Jackass, jackass, royal ass
Obedient as a dog
The first to fail his only class
With charm that rivals a hog!
A noble ass with noble hide
Oh you can see it in his stride
And for a copper penny
He will take you for a ride!
( He stops shortly, laughing slightly as he clears his throat and goes back to the leisurely strumming. ) Maybe not always so appropriate. Kids get a laugh out of it, though.
Anyway, I was curious about what kind of music most people tend to like? I need to get working on some new material for a new world.
And I'm not sure about this... but if this world has any bards with any tricks of the trade they're willing to share? I'd be willing to trade a few of my own, if anyone's interested.

I know others, it's just the only one that followed me from my home. I know how to play a good pan flute and then viol is my second love after my lute. But she got left behind.

[What a good idea. Big bulky nobles to give surprise piggyback rides, after they hear kind-of-mean songs about themselves. Not quite the same as tricks or pranks but close enough that the Traveler will probably be pretty happy about it.]
Okay, so there is a market in Kirkwall where you could get new instruments, if you wanted. And if we went up to the fancy Hightown market, I bet they would be really fancy instruments too. But we would have to be careful.
Don't worry. I would be your bodyguard.
