[Today Warsman’s mask seems a little less oblique; something about the way the light falls across its smooth planes is softer, something in the tilt of his head gently curious in an almost catlike or avian way. With his usual self-consciousness in tow the effect is intensely earnest.

As he sits back he toys with a worn balalaika sat in his lap, strumming it absently as he speaks; one might recognise the opening bars of Lara’s theme.]


I don't know how many of you came to watch the qualifiers at the weekend, but I made it through to the Siren’s Port City Slamfest quarter-finals.

[Both he and his playing falter for a moment- he’s not really supposed to say anything on the matter until Wednesday night, once it’s officially aired, but he’s not quite in the mood for complying.]

I’ve been told I need walk-on music for my matches. I’ve never bothered in the past, or if I have, Robin Ma-- my coach arranged it. I’m not sure what sort of thing I should choose- but the producers have told me that they’ll use this one for me if I can't decide.

[He’s cringing a little as he stops playing to tap something in and hits play. It’s not that he’s not comfortable with his robot side being so freely advertised- he’s always been and always will be the Fighting Computer in the ring, and it’s a title he’s come to be proud of in his own way- but they don’t have to be so embarrassingly blunt about it. It seems almost crass.

Perhaps a little hastily he turns the music off and strums out a little more of Lara’s theme, as if as an antidote.]


Does anyone have any suggestions? I only know a little music up to around 1984.
