Sept (Video)

*The recording opens showing Albedo sitting at a piano in a music store. From the way the angle gives a perfect view of his gloved hands resting on the keys, it's pretty obvious that he's deliberately set it up to record.*

A pity I can't get my hands on an organ, but I'm partial to these as well.

*Without looking at the phone, he abruptly starts playing, clawed fingertips flying across the keyboard with skilled precision.

When the short piece comes to an end, he looks at the camera with a smirk.*

A suitable warm up, wouldn't you say, Prospero?

*He seems in a good mood. Maybe someone could get him to play a request if they went about it right?*

[V/V tries humming a repeat of the song, but she gives up after a bit.]

That's too fast for me to sing.

It isn't intended to be matched by a human voice. I gather most have difficulty presenting this piece even in the form I just did.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Then you must be really good at this.

I've had quite a few years to practice and learning new things comes quite easily to me.

*He idly runs his fingers over the keys and plays a brief chord.*

Regardless of whether the skill is primarily mental or physical.

This one is both, right? I play guitar.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

It is indeed.

*He eyes her over the phone, seemingly interested now.*

Have you possession of your instrument now, or are we in similar states of lacking?

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

The first thing I bought here was a guitar. I don't like being without music.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

I find myself envious of you, in that case. My particular instrument of choice doesn't lend itself well to such a small living space, after all.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

You do really well with this one, though.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

I would much rather possess one of my own, however.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

You could move into a bigger house.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

As soon as I'm in a suitable financial situation, I fully intend to abandon this hovel that passes for housing among the newly arrived.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

It isn't too bad for me. The place I lived in before wasn't much bigger and was holding two people.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

Then you're far more patient with the company of others than I.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

I do love people.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

Such a sweet hearted little monster you are, then.

*Yes, he saw her post about what she was. He just didn't care enough to comment.*

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

I'm a monster?

[Video]

[fractured_white]

That generally is the term humans reserve for beings not like themselves, particularly those born for the purpose of destruction.

*He plays a few notes which come across as angry more than anything else.*

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

I guess that does make me a monster...

[But it's still not the nicest way to put it.]

[Video]

[fractured_white]

*He's running out of nice taking those requests from Alice, so he has to be mean to someone to balance it out.*

And a monster they can claim no creation of nor control over, at that.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

I think they should have another word for that, though.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

What humanity ought to do and the truth of events are often two very different things.

*More notes come up, still harsh and loud.*

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

I'd like to say what I am without scaring anybody away.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

Such hopeful naivety. Do you truly believe mankind to be capable of accepting that which is foreign and dangerous without marking it as something to be shunned and attacked?

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Yes, I do.
