Music Points - 222,000
Saturn was in pure amazement at his Music Points. Apparently after not checking his points for forty or so days he had gained so many. He decided to ask his help, who he hadn't talk to in over a month.
' Why do I have so many points? Even if I have played piano for nine hours a day it shouldn't be so many should it. "
[ You have to keep in mind that people were listening to you play music as well. You get one point for every person who hears you finish a song Guy. ]
' Why'd you call me Guy? '
[ That's your name man. You are young, you shouldn't already be forgetting your name. ]
' My name is Saturn, you idiot. I would say you are young but I imagine you are ancient. '
[ I resent that, I'll have you know that I am among the youngest of my brothers. Anyway when did you change your name? ]
' I don't know what your talking about. '
[ Hm. ]
' So should I buy the memories of my past lives right now or not? '
[ You should wait since you will faint when you unlock you memories. ]
' Why will I faint? '
[ You will be getting an entire lifetimes worth of memories in regards to music, be happy your brain doesn't fry itself. ]
' Oh. '
Since he heard that Saturn decided to get to work, he was eager and giddy his entire work day. It was so out of character that even Luther questioned if he was sick. Eventually Saturn finished his workday and left.
He didn't go right home, instead he went to a fancy restaurant he decided to treat his mom to. He wanted to treat her since recently he was in a great mood. He didn't know why, he just was. It was likely due to the fact that he had freedom to travel around since he had his car. He had been making full use of his Tahoe. He went on a seven hour round trip drive just to look at a fancy stream.
But thanks to his recent driving around he hadn't spent as much time with his mom. That was why he wanted to treat her to dinner.

So Saturn booked a reservation at a really nice nice Italian restaurant that was situated near the mall. He also rented a suit, also from the mall. He then drove Amelia who was wearing a pretty dress up to the mall.
The mother and son drove in comfortable silence towards the mall. Playing on the radio was Moonlight Sonata. Saturn had recorded a few songs at Luther's store and had put them on a usb. Luckily for him he could use his stereo to play his music. He had recorded Moonlight Sonata, Flight of the Bumblebee, and Prelude in C Sharp Minor (Op. 3 No. 2). His mother really, really, really loved Prelude in C Sharp Minor (Op. 3 No. 2). She even had it downloaded onto her phone and she would listen to it throughout the day.
Saturn hadn't been able to upload the songs onto WeStream yet, unfortunately since he still didn't have a laptop or computer. He did have plans to but one soon though.
When the two pulled up to the restaurant both of them were impressed by the elegance of the restaurant. It was modeled to look similar to a mansion. The building had beautiful carbonized pine siding. The windows were a foggy looking glass that seemed to too look like real fog that was moving about. The doors to the building were beautiful hard wood mahogany, clearly expensive.
When the two pulled up they they had a young fellow walk up and offer to park for them. Saturn figured, why not, and paid for the valet who gave him a ticket before driving the car away. After that the mother and son walked into the restaurant together. The would have looked like a couple had it not been for the safe distance between the two hinting that they were nothing more than mother and son.
The two were lead to a table that was made of a dark wood that Saturn couldn't identify.
( I have never been to a fancy restaurant, so I have no idea how any of that works. I'm not going to attempt it either. So use your imagination. )
Saturn ordered a nice yummy steak while Amelia ordered a soup. Saturn was up set she ordered it since it was cheap and not because she wanted it. In the end though he convinced her to order what she really wanted, which was salmon.
The two were talking while waiting on their food, Amelia drinking wine, Saturn drinking water. All of a sudden though Amelia crunched her face, obviously annoyed.

" What's wrong mom. "
" It's that incessant boor. "
Saturn of course knew that she was talking about the news guy who would hit on her every time he went to the haircut shop. Saturn barely turned his head enough to see who she was talking about.
The news man was a young, handsome, blonde fellow with bright baby blues. The suit he wore made him look like a hunk, but he clearly didn't work out. One could tell by his delicate unblemished hands. In reality he looked like he had never worked a day in his life, which was likely true.
When Saturn turned around the news guy was smiling and walking towards his and his mom's table.
" Hello Ms. Amelia, fancy meeting you here. "
" Yeah. "
The new's guy was talking about the happy version of the saying while Amelia was talking about the sarcastic version.
The blondey reached his hand out towards Saturn.
" Hello I am Theodore, might I ask who you are. "
Saturn took Theodore's hand and squeezed it just enough to make Theodore extremely uncomfortable, without breaking his bones.
" I'm her boyfriend. "
Saturn used the voice he would use to intimidate other prisoners. He did this to try and make Theodore leave. Theodore however despite being uncomfortable didn't leave.
" Oh, Amelia never mentioned her having a boyfriend. "
" Why would she, it's not like it's any of your business. "
Usually Saturn wouldn't be so rude, but the man had been harassing his mother for over a month and Saturn really hated it. So he was trying to keep the man from pestering his mom anymore.
Theodore had no idea how to respond to Saturn's response. Instead he finally started to really pull on his hand, since he was really uncomfortable.
" Alright, well it was nice meeting you. "
" I wish I could say the same. "
" Amelia I'll see you another time. "
" I would like if you would stop disturbing my girlfriend, you make her extremely uncomfortable. "
" I'm sorry Amelia it wasn't my intention. "
" It's not your fault that you naturally make women uncomfortable. "
Theodore didn't respond and instead left, he went back to his other friends.
Amelia who had been silent throughout the talk looked back towards her son. She was smiling, apparently very happy that her son stood up for her. Saturn just looked at her, his head slightly down like a child who got caught cussing with his friends.
" Sorry mom, it's just his attitude annoyed me. "
" It's alright babe. "
" I'm not a baby anymore. "
" I know, but I used to call you that all the way until you were fourteen. It's hard to let old habits die. "
After that the two enjoyed their dinner. Saturn ended up eating an 8 oz. steak and half of his mother's salmon. He had also ate three servings bread. Clearly he wanted his money's worth.
Once the bill was taken out Saturn almost had a heart attack, it was 100.00$. The salmon and wine was sixty dollars in total. Saturn kept that from his mother though since he didn't want her to worry. After that the two left, Theodore stared at them as they left. Saturn despite feeling his stare didn't even glance at him.
The mother and son then left back to the house. At least that's what Amelia had thought, instead Saturn took her to one of his favorite views that he had discovered. The spot was a popular wing suiting spot that one could drive to easily. Originally Saturn wasn't going to take his mom their, but the mood was good so he decided, screw it let's go.
The two ended up sitting their for nearly an hour just enjoying the spot, they barely even spoke.
" One of these days you and I can come here and do some wing suiting together. "
" Hohoho, no I'm good son, I'm to old for something like that. "
" But you aren't old. "
Amelia didn't respond instead she just smiled. Eventually the two returned to their home. Saturn bought the memories, expecting to just faint. Instead he first got a migraine that made every part of his head hurt, teeth, ears, temples, even his nose. After the migraine went on he then got a nose bleed, but that cleared up after a couple seconds. Only after that did he faint.
When he woke up Saturn felt like a God. He not only knew of millions of songs, he also knew exactly how to produce the songs. He knew the names of all of the songs he had already introduced to the world. He also discovered unique genres that weren't in his world. He was beyond pumped to get to recording.

Gaslgiht
There is a common line of questioning that falls upon students within their first moments at Kingsly. “Why?”. The student asks, “Why am I here?”. This is a futile line of questioning. There are those who remember, and those who do not. I’ll spare you the technical explanation — that’s what we have teachers for. The jist is as follows: those who remember are... how do I put this... more likely. They occupy more time. and the space that time has allowed them — the pertinent amount — is experienced no matter what. Allow me to offer you a bit of personal information: I am not one who remembers. There is no time relevant to me, no space that I occupy. I exist by carving myself here, and continue to exist in the same fashion. You would do well to follow suit. Why am I here? Because I force myself to be. Because the universe, the universes, for all its kicking and screaming, cannot escort me out.
