Default Prince gets to take a ride to pickup Mona and Luko

Luko thinks deep (like he normally does) then goes off for a moment
in the cataporter. He comes back with a tamborine and proceeds to
remove the noisy metal parts. Once off, he puts it on the table
and begins to practice with his paws, until he has a nice, smooth,
mellow beat with differing tones depending on where his paws land.
He smiles and nods at Benni.


[Sammy disappears into the teleporter for a few minutes, then
reappears carrying a kitty-sized clarinet. He hasn't played it in
years, so he figures he should get some private practicing in before
he tries playing with the group.

Francesca then hauls an electronic keyboard over and plugs it in.
It's somewhat too large for her, but by leaping from key to key she
is able to play it moderately well.

Benni and Fred together drag a string bass over. It takes them a
while to figure out how to coordinate with each other, but they
figure that one of them can press the strings against the neck while
the other kitty plucks the strings. Neither of them has any musical
experience (other than listening to the musical kitties in The
Aristocats) so when they start trying to play it sounds horrid. Sammy
and Francesca both wince when the youngsters produce an especially
dischordant noise, but before too long the sounds they make aren't
quite bad enough to drive away a listener.]


Mona comes up and makes a very rythmic purr. It seems much like a very
country/folk washboard. She practices matching it to the the others and
varyng the loudness. Like the others, she's not sure what she is doing
but she's having fun!
