Mark
Santo's roommate had gone to meet someone and Santo was taking advantage of having the room to himself by opening the door and turning his music up. After all, he figured if one had a playlist full of bouncy upbeat music, one had to share it with the world. Or the dorm, which was the world at the moment.

The only trouble with bouncy upbeat music was that Santo usually wanted to dance to it, and while people forgave the music, his dancing was pretty much unforgivable unless he was outside. Still, when Whip It came on, he couldn't help but tap his toes while he ignored his math homework.

Santo wasn't entirely unused to being climbed. Back in the old neighborhood the kids had loved him after he'd manifested, using him as a makeshift climbing wall whenever he let them (which was more often than their parents thought he should). So he stayed still until Mark was in a good place, then started walking again.

"So, tell me about yourself," he invited Mark. "I'm guessing you don't collect rocks. What do you do?"

	"Music," he said immediately. "I'm trying to learn how to play at least three simple songs on every musical invention still in existence before I die." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's awesome!" Santo said, glancing back a little. "Man, I can't play any instruments. I mean, I couldn't before, but I don't know what I could even try now. Maybe drums. I'd crush like, a violin or a guitar and I don't breathe, so no saxophone." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Maracas!" Mark suggested. "Or cowbell. I bet you'd play a mean rainstick. Or, hey, how about a floor piano?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A floor piano wouldn't stand a chance against my feet," Santo sighed. "But I could totally rock a pair of maracas. I'll be your percussion section." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I bet they make powered versions," Mark argued, leaning down to rest his forehead against Santo's skull briefly, as if to say, cheer up, be happy! "I'll look into it! But otherwise, percussion is the best. They have the most fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Think so?" Santo asked. "Cause if they made something I could stomp on, I'm really good at stomping. I'm thinking when I get to college I'll go with stomping as my major." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I suppose if you adopt me as your sidekick, then you would have to give me a Riverdance DVD," Mark mused thoughtfully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Aw, please do. Hang a left? I suddenly crave processed sugar." He paused. "Or is the kitchen to the right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Left!" Santo said, heading towards and into the kitchen. "Sugar for you!" (Reply to this) (Parent)
