* Jade had invited you over to Karkat's hive, hopeful that the two of you could get along now that his temper had been mostly quelled.
* You spot a piano in the middle of the room.

KARKAT: OH, THAT OLD THING? IT'S A LONG STORY.
KARKAT: I HAD GONE OVER TO LOFAF TO VISIT DAVE AND HE INVITED ME TO THIS BAR RAN BY HIS SISTER. I HADN'T EVEN SAID ANYTHING TO HER YET BEFORE SHE LOOKED ME UP AND DOWN AND SAID, IN HER SNOOTY, INTELLECTUAL TONE, "You need a hobby."
KARKAT: TO WHICH I SAID, "I ALREADY HAVE ONE, IT'S CALLED WATCHING ROMCOMS WHILE SHARPENING MY SICKLES."
KARKAT: ANYWAY, SO SHE SUGGESTED I PICK UP PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT. I WASN'T GOOD AT HER VIOLIN, DAVE'S TURNTABLES WERE INCOMPREHENSIBLE, AND JADE'S BASS AND FLUTE WEREN'T CUTTING IT.
KARKAT: SO I'M DOING MY ROUNDS, MAKING MY TRIP THROUGH THE MEDIUM AS USUAL, WHEN I FIND THIS PIANO ON PROSPIT. NONE OF THE PROSPITIANS KNEW WHO HAD IT, AND NONE WERE KEEN ON TAKING IT THEMSELVES, SO THEY LET ME HAVE IT.
KARKAT: THING IS, I'M NOT TOO GOOD AT PLAYING IT MYSELF...
KARKAT: BUT THIS TIME I WANT TO GET BETTER.
KARKAT: SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE A CRACK AT IT THOUGH. KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.
