The Count begins playing the piano, using a really somber and emotional piece (He never does this in Gankutsuou but piano playing is something that The Count would obviously be good at). Kamina is at a table in the middle of the room, excessively flirting with Kirika and Anna, who are quietly having tea (Sora is nervously standing by with a tea kettle, waiting to see if either of the two wants more). Moved by The Count's piano piece, Anna and Sora slowly walk towards him, mesmerized by his skills and charm (Kirika is still at the table, drinking tea).
Kamina, failing to woo Kirika, furiously stares at Anna and Sora cavorting with The Count, who has finished with his song and is chatting with them in his typically elegant fashion. Suddenly, with overwhelming passion, Kamina dons his V-shaped sunglasses, throws on his cape, and declares,
"YOU THINK I'LL JUST SIT HERE WHILE YOU STEAL WHAT'S MINE?! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!!!!"
Kamina storms over and, with The Count glancing bemusinly at him, proceeds to bang on the piano with a vicious rage, keys flying everywhere. After a full five minutes of this, Kamina glares at The Count and says, "Now that's how it's done."
Dead silence.
Then, Sven ambles by Kamina, lights the cigarette that's hanging from his mouth, shakes his head with a grin, and says, "This guy," before he continues his way to Grimmer, who's enjoying the spectacle from a table at the far end of the room.
The Count lets loose his signature laugh, a magnificently mocking guffaw that causes Kamina to look down at the floor in embarrassment. His victory more than assurred, the Count then strolls out of the room, with Anna and Sora lovingly trailing behind him.
Kamina, dejected, jams his sunglasses into his pocket, and trudges towards Sven and Grimmer, who are sharing a few drinks with each other. Kamina plops down in his chair and quietly chugs his drink. Sven, seeking to lift Kamina's spirits, inquires, "You wanna have a drinking contest?" Grimmer, with a bemused look on his face, mutters, "Not again," before Kamina exclaims, "OF COURSE!". Sven glances at Wolfwood, who is attempting to convince Kirika to purchase his little knick knacks to no avail, and motions for him to come over. Wolfwood casually strolls to Sven and Sven asks him to get as many drinks as he can.
Wolfwood walks to the cabinet across the room, where a vast collection of beer is stored, and opens the cabinet door to find Ed guzzling all of the bottles with a pleased smile on her face. Wolfwood facepalms and mutters, "What the hell are you doing?"
Kamina, irritated at the prospect of not having a drinking contest, storms over to Ed and exclaims, "Why'd you do that?!" Ed replies, "Ed really likes these drinks! They make Ed feel warm inside!". Kamina slumps to the floor and sobs over the lack of alcohol while Wolfwood shrugs and walks away. Sven and Grimmer, of course, are laughing at Kamina's expense (Kirika continues to sip her tea).
In the very back of the room, where no one can see him, Piccolo observed everything that just occurred and reacts to this with a sigh. |
