He slowly made his way over to the three by the refreshment table, grabbing a clean glass of water for himself and downing it before speaking.
"Mister Billy? I'm sorry I misjudged you earlier. If Mama says you're cool, I th-think I can trust her . . . " He still sounded unsure, but went forward with it anyway. "You were curious about my things, and I denied your curiosity because of preconceived notions. I . . . I'm truly sorry."
He reached into his bag, searching for a particular device. Once he found it, he procured it and closed the bag again. He flipped a small switch on the device and a quiet, steady, but slightly-harsh tone began to emanate from it. He turned a dial on the device and the pitch of the tone raised and then lowered. He deactivated the device before it got too annoying, then began to explain.
"This is a tone generator. It uses various electrical components to create a certain pattern which is transmitted to the speaker. Depending on the components used, the sound and pitch can be quite different. Using other components, the basic sound can be modified in interesting ways. Mix other things with this, a-and you can create some pretty interesting sounds . . . I think."
Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day.

"Ah, so that's what you're working on, Zach. We should work out what kind of gig we'd performs for Auntie Gloria later..." He replied, giving his cousin a warm smile.

"Yes, I do apologize for the delay," Briggs nodded, unable to completely hide his sarcasm. "I carefully selected each morsel of cheese to fit the palates of all shapes and sizes here. For instance, I have brought some string cheese and a bottle of milk for Miss Wyn."

"Ten albums? That's..." Vincent stammered, confused by Billy's statement about the albums. "I'm not sure if you're exaggerating or not... But.... Did you even poured your soul into those albums? And your albums being free... That's not how the music business work, dude..."
"Music not about stuffy business suits and making money," Uncle Billy replied, "It about creating art and sharing good vibes. Though if music is livelihood for you, I understand why you'd feel that way. Your albums probably better than mine!"
Seeing that the cheese had arrived, Billy took a modest helping, leaving plenty for the others. Then he poured himself a glass of the most expensive-looking wine. When Zachary approached, he flinched slightly but managed not to spill anything.
"Oh, no worries, Zack! Sometimes I come on a little strong. Can be frightening to some people. You can consider slate unblemished."
"Wow, this much more complex than anything I make," Billy said, eyeing Zachary's tone generator. "You must be real titan of tinkering! You could probably make even crazier new instrument by adding onto this!"
Billy's eyes widened at Vincent's comment.
"Oh, can I get in on gig?" Uncle Billy asked, "I bring my instrument with me."

Uncle Billy hooked his foot around the handle of his discarded instrument case and pulled it closer. He then leaned down and opened it up, taking out the coolest instrument anyone had ever seen.
It was a slick keytar decorated with a bright, psychedelic pattern with a thick leather strap attached to the back. However, the thing looked like it had survived three world wars, with tape holding several parts of it together.
“I save up long time for this instrument. Is tons of fun to play!”

[THEME MUSIC]
The guests all retire for a while to their rooms, while the three servants prepare the dining hall for dinner. Everyone in the house peacefully tire out the afternoon. Even in spite of their fighting, there's something nice about the nostalgia of it all. Maybe just for one day everyone can just enjoy being with family...
* * *
The glowing red-tinged sun casts light through the large, ornate dining room window. Stained red and yellow glass cause colors to mix and shimmer on everyone's faces as they enter the dining hall.
As every family member enters, Gloria gives them an awkward, one-armed hug (the other hand holds a fistful of cherry tomatoes). She has retired her sunhat for large, designer sunglasses, which cover almost her entire face.
Her children are assigned the chairs closest to her at the head of the table. First Bertram, then across the table from him is Basil. Then Maurice and Twilip are across from one another. Zachary is across from Billy. After those two are Robin, who clearly strongly receives Gloria's favor, and Lucine. Violet and Asher come next in the order. After that, Vincent and James. At the very end is Wyn and Jacqueline. A chair sits empty at the foot of the table.
Of course, the order is approximately as it usually is, with Gloria's bloodline right in front of her, but the weird and egregious thing is Billy's placement in the center of the family.
"Alright my loves! Let's see what the servants have prepared! Let's enjoy a feast!" Gloria coos.

"Food looks great mum. I see Archer's skills haven't gotten rusty." he took a moment to swallow his food. "How have you been anyway Lippy?" He asked looking over to Twilip. "It's been a while since I've seen you all."

Noticing her older brother who just arrived and the continued commotion, Twilip walks over to Maurice and gives him a pat on the back. "Ah, Maurice! It has been ages since I've last seen you, hasn't it?"
"Ah! Twilip." A brief expression of shock was momentarily present on Maurice's face before it subsided. "I see you haven't changed much at all. Yes, it has been a while. 15 years, to be exact, and I can tell they've treated you quite well." He shook his head.

"Maurice, my brother! I didn't know you'd arrived? It's good to see you again. Is your accounting business still as booming as ever?" he greeted the man taking a fresh glass of chardonnay. "And nice to see you too Jacqueline!" he said brightening up as he spotted the glamorous woman and realised he hadn't said hello yet. "No sign of Anton, or Alice today? They couldn't make it?" he asked taking a sip from his glass happy to have a less-snooty conversation companion.
"Ah, Basil." Maurice gave a polite nod. "My accounting business is going well, thank you for asking. I see you're the same as ever, hm?"
They probably had some small chat after that which doesn't matter because dinner time lol.
Maurice had taken a seat at the table, looking quite famished. "Finally, dinner time. It has been long enough..." He gave a glare in Billy's direction, still confused as to his presence. "I hope the food here is as good as I remember it to be. If that's the one good thing I could give to this house, it was well-managed."

Basil sighed, noting how far down the table his family was as he picked up his knife and fork to cut into his food. Seemingly less happy about having to sit between Maurice and Bertram.

"Good question." Maurice nodded. "I forget, what was it that you wished to do back then, Twilip? Something about... history, was it? Did you end up pursuing that after all?"
His memory clearly wasn't the best.

"Seriously, Billy? You haven't been taking good care of your keytar... You should've seen my guitar." Vincent said, bringing up the topic of Billy's keytar. "I took perfectly good care of it. But still..."
He first looks in Zachary's direction and then in Robin's direction. "Zach, Robin... What do you think? Should we let Billy be part of the gig that we'll be performing for Auntie Gloria?" He asked, addressing the two.

"He's passed on to the Golden Land, but that does not mean that he can't visit for family dinner! He's here spiritually, so please everyone keep your manners!"

"I don't see why not," Robin chirped. "The more, the merrier! Besides, I've never heard what a keytar sounds like in person."
She looked to Billy. "What kind of music do you play?"

"Of course, that answers my question. Thank you, Auntie Gloria. Can't believe that I completely forgot about uncle Peregrine." Vincent said as he got to take a bite out of his meal.

"If we did not leave an empty chair for grandfather, he wouldn't be able to visit." Lucine elucidated. "Even if he is lonely in the Golden Land, it would be bad manners to show up when a seat hasn't even been prepared for you."
That last part was accompanied by a quick sidelong glance at good old uncle Billy, who indeed had a seat prepared for him. You are not hallucinating, Lucine.

"Wow, zillions of thanks for wonderful meal, Gloria. And butlers of course!" Billy said, "This so much better than prepackaged food from grocery store. Can't believe you people eat this stuff all the time!"

"Oh, I play lots of things," Billy replied, much more quietly. "Sometimes I do covers, and sometimes I talk about our society. Most though I like to jam out with other musicians. During my travels I stop at cities, track down local musicians, and make a big song with them! That showcase unique sounds of American places. I make lots of albums that way."

"Actually," Billy added, eyes lighting with excitement. "If you could pack up good cheese to take back home, that would be nice. Could have little feast of my own and let my friends try."

Maurice gave a polite laugh. "Only you could find such a keen interest in digging up old bones, sister. In any case, my career has been proceeding as smoothly as it looks. I would not be able to afford such clothing unless I earned it, and I will say I have ended up quite well off."
He then turned to look at Basil. "Actually, brother, I've been reminded. Is it true you've remarried? Bertram mentioned something about your marriage a few years back or so, but I thought you had been married before I'd even left this house in the first place. Care to fill me in on what I have missed?"

Robin listened to Billy with fascination, and then her eyes drifted over to her niece. "Oh, right! I forgot to mention. Lucine here is a talented young pianist herself! Lucine-" she offered the girl a reassuring smile as she spoke- "You're free to join us, too, if you'd like. We were thinking of playing a song together after dinner."
"... Thank you for the invitation, Mrs. Teacher." Lucine answered. Then, unexpectedly, she showed a small smile. "With almost the whole family here, a song sounds like a delightful way to celebrate."

However, first... He'd search for Briggs. He was likely smoking outside. Again. A good earlobe tugging is in order.
Archer steps outside and opens the front door slowly, with a loud creak...

The man's very presence would put anyone on edge. His hair was shaved into a buzzcut, and it was clear he had little effort put into his appearance. He had studded earrings and some sort of tribal necklace, but they seemed to be haphazard additions to his wardrobe rather than a deliberate choice.
His pants and jacket were simple but functional, but all he wore as an undershirt was a wife-beater that was stained yellow with sweat. His skin was severely sunburnt and damaged--dead skin flakes hanging off of his body begging to be picked.
"Yo, Archie!" He smiled at the servant, though his teeth were dirty and stained so it probably wasn't as pleasant as he believed. "Just who I was hoping to see."
The man made no effort to go up the stairs yet, seemingly waiting for an invitation. "Wanna do me a favor, bro? Tell everyone I'm back."
There was a boom of thunder so loud that it shook the manor for a moment. A storm was coming...

Basil swallowed his food and dabbed his face with his napkin "Mmm yes actually! I guess you must have lost the invite? Yes that's my darling wife down there, Wynnie." he put his fork down and waved down the table at Wyn. "We had a lovely ceremony about two years ago. She was a vital support following Diane's death and, well it just turned into something beautiful."

Zach's eyes lit up almost as brightly as when Robin said yes.
"Oh. My. Gosh! A keytar!? That thing's gotta be filled with some pretty complex things. I bet it sounds amazing! Looks a bit beat-up though . . . " He clapped his hands together. "I bet I could do something about that. But not now, and certainly not without your full consent. Let's talk - and jam - later, okay?"
And now back to the present.
Zachary looked around the table, a bit puzzled by why he had been sat next to his wife, but the others were literally as far away from theirs as possible. He ate his food in silence, nodding approvingly at how delectable it was. He would've probably joined in the conversation, but there was so much going on that he just couldn't really find a place to jump in.
Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day.

The man's very presence would put anyone on edge. His hair was shaved into a buzzcut, and it was clear he had little effort put into his appearance. He had studded earrings and some sort of tribal necklace, but they seemed to be haphazard additions to his wardrobe rather than a deliberate choice.
His pants and jacket were simple but functional, but all he wore as an undershirt was a wife-beater that was stained yellow with sweat. His skin was severely sunburnt and damaged--dead skin flakes hanging off of his body begging to be picked.
"Yo, Archie!" He smiled at the servant, though his teeth were dirty and stained so it probably wasn't as pleasant as he believed. "Just who I was hoping to see."

Archer looked at the newcomer for a few moments before nodding, and opening the front doors all the way.
"Understood. ...Should I.. take your bags?" Archer adjusted his collar with one hand and kept the other by his side. "Welcome home." he quietly adds.

"Miss Jacqueline, darling! I didn't get to greet you before, it's been a while since I've last seen you. How's family life? You've three kids, right? You must be quite the busy woman!"
"Oh!"

"Mmm yes actually! I guess you must have lost the invite? Yes that's my darling wife down there, Wynnie." he put his fork down and waved down the table at Wyn.
Wyn waves back at him coyly before turning her attention back to Jacqueline.
"Isn't Zilly such a sweetheart? I can't believe he finally brought me to the manor! Well, I guess I can believe it...He does like to spoil me, after all." She adds with a small giggle.

"...Oh, my, did anyone else hear that loud clap of thunder?" Briggs puffed as he returned to the dining room, shoving a cigarette into his pocket. "Allister, do you want me to get you a blankie?"
"T-That's not funny, Briggs..." Allister complained. "I'm not scared..." Despite what he said, the boy seemed to be trembling slightly.

As the thunder sounded, he flinched. "Good grief... A storm is brewing out tonight, isn't it? Thank goodness we're all here, at least..."
