Notes: A few actually, sorry in advance for the tldr. The userpic was taken at a karaoke bar, so feel free to say your character recognizes him as the guy that won't leave the mic and flirts with everyone - he's also the one Rue is talking about in her latest post if you wanna figure that out. Before this post, Jaskier is doing a public stream, I'm not starting there because it's just asking people for song titles and him playing them, but again, feel free to say your character was there making requests. His power allows him to know every song you request - at least, the ones from Earth. If your character asks for a song from their fictional words, you're OOCly allowed to say if he pulls it off or fails! Since this is a stream, don't feel obliged to match with video, use text as it appears on the livechat and threadjack at will.
[Having been here for a little over two weeks by now, Jaskier has become used to quite a few things about the modern world. He's wearing fashionable clothes that show off his chest hair, and he's also acquired a new instrument that people will recognize better than a lute. He's clearly in his room at the Diadem Hotel, sitting at the desk with a glass of wine. Can't be a music show without some kind of happiness substance around. His bright blue eyes are kept on the camera while his fingers -some of them with very pretty rings- distractedly pick at the string to play Queen's A kind of magic.]
Good evening, fellow magical fellows. [He suddenly gasps, obviously fake but still committed to the part of why he chose that word on purpose.] Ah, but is that the correct word? Magical? I couldn't help noticing there are many a word utilized in this realm to describe what the average person can not do. Yet at the end of the day, it all sounds like magic to me! The sorcerers in my world call the source chaos, and considering the circumstances- [He waves a hand in a circle to indicate "this place bringing people from other worlds". Yes, that's exactly the gesture.] -they win terminology points for allowing me to end this sentence with pun intended.
[He's hilarious, right? Right??? When his hands return to the guitar, this time they play a few chords of We didn't start the fire.]
That said! I'd love to hear from any meta that knows how to heal and could tell me the risks behind trying to take care of your own wounds made by magic from another realm. For-- [He glances at the burned marks on his fingers then quickly forces himself to keep his eyes on the camera. The chords change to Sweet Dreams.] Experimental reasons.
[Smooth, Jaskier. Really smooth. He takes a long sip of his wine to get rid of the momentary awkwardness before putting his most charming smile back on.]
With that out of the way, allow me to express my main magical reason for this little show! [He's learned to set up streams, he'll remember to use the word at some point or the other.] I have yet to discover a song I cannot play, so that's where you come in, my dear audience! Request any tune you want, the rarer the better! Let us learn together how far I can push this new ability of mine!
[An ability? That's curious, because in his public stream, he had told the NPC fans he was just that knowledgable in music. What can he say, gotta play your public right.]

[Theatrical flourish applies to indignation too, it seems. The other comment, though, gets an enthusiastic nod.]
I hadn't played other bard's songs in years, in fact, except for the occasional request from the audience or the traditional tunes of specific festivals. I do intend to -ah, record? all my work here as well, but to rebuild my reputation, I need to attract people's attention first - slowly adding original songs to a list of local music for a smooth transition. I also need to rearrange some work to these new instruments and-- [He shakes his head.] Study the reaction to the fact many a song of mine talk about magic, which as you may know, it's not always well received by this realm's public.

Seems you're taking like a bird to the skies. A proper dissertation ahead of you.
If you need assistance acquiring anything historical, I do run an antiques shop. Willing to barter services for goods.
no subject
[But he definitely perks up at the mention of the antique shop.]
Ohoho, now that's the kind of curious store filled with stories hiding behind relics! I may come by just to admire the beauties, but pray tell, mayhap you have anything that shall meet my tastes? Literature? Instruments? Sheet music? Jewelry?
no subject
Insinuating my taste isn't excellent? May I point you to my wardrobe?
[ The perking up at the shop has him chuckling. Easy to read indeed. ] Yes to all but the literature, as I don't know your taste and am still familiarizing myself with this world's offerings. But there are some instruments [ Magical even ] and plenty of jewelry. I do have a few folios of old sheet music, though I admit my skill at reading it is rusty.
no subject
[And by that he means there's an insane amount of people with good fashion or food taste that dislikes his music. The nerve!
But then he's clasping his hands together in delight.] Save those folios for me, good captain! As for the jewelry, I shall pay you a visit for a closer look and choose accordingly. I am allowed to try them on, am I not? As useful as these-- [A second to remember the word.] -catalogs? are for supplies, anything that I must wear needs to be tried on first. Have you noticed the whole deal with those numbers on the shoes? They don't mean the same on different makers! What is the bloody point then!

We are of the same opinion on the most important things. Yes, I am old-fashioned here, and I think superior in judgement, so you may look and touch and try on to your heart's content. [ Good luck stealing from a magical pirate backed by the villain's guild. He hasn't had any trouble with things leaving, only coming in. ]
Yes, sizing and tailoring here leave much to be desired, though I'm pleased with some of the broader options. [ He really likes crop tops ok ] One has to find masters in their field to get anything worthwhile, and the costs are exorbitant. Pity sturdy clothing is not considered a basic necessity.
