"My odd little flower boy," The blue-haired Kobiru asked as he leaned out of the Kitchen window, "What are you doing hanging from the gutter?"
"I'm breaking in." The upside down brunette replied.
"Mission homework?" remarked Hade.
"Yeppers." The flowery boy replied.
"Well, dinner's almost ready..." The head Kobiru started.
"Yeah I've already sort of made an internal pact... I can't come inside until I've unlocked every window on the Kobiru Compound."
"And how's that going for you?" The older man questioned.
"Not so great... I started maybe an hour ago and I've only unlocked three windows." Atsuo replied, distraught.
"Write a song about it." Hade shouted up at him, "You're always humming or singing some sort of shanty around here..."
"That's not a bad idea!" Atsuo replied. "I'll probably still be a while... I"m not giving in!"
"You do that flower-boy, I'll save you a plate." Hade replied and pulled himself back into the kitchen. Atsuo heard the tumblers roll as Hade locked that window too. He certainly was honoring the flower boy's pact.
"Alright... Song..." Atsuo mumbled and started humming randomly.
~~Step one, clean the pick.
~~A rusty pick will surely stick.
~~Step two, slide it in.
~~Set it straight and you will grin.
~~Step three, plug the base.
~~keep the flat pins in their place.
~~Step four, slowly twist.
~~Keep the balance in your wrist
~~Step five, turn and pull.
~~careful not to break your tool.
~~Step six, you should be done,
~~See? Lock picking can be fun!
"Haha! I'm a genius!" Atsuo opened the window and continued to open windows, so long as he sang his clever shanty. One after the other, he successfully unlocked every window on the kobiru compound.
"Tomorrow, Yukiko-chan's place!"
One of the path missions (Anbu path for Atsuo) is 10 hours of lock picking, so to help himself along Atsuo created his own sea shanty about lock picking... Chances are he'll end up singing it if he ever gets drunk xD People will be like "Dude, dafuq are you doing?" And Atsuo will be all like "back off bro!" LOL

Atsuo- me
