Sept (Video)

[fractured_white]

*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?*

Comments

video; I say five tags until he realizes it.

Quite a performer then. I must take that there are no proper organs in this city...?

video; or the first time Shakespeare says 'thou'.

[fractured_white]

Unfortunately not. A dissapointingly rare instrument, and one I had trouble acquiring even in my own universe, with quite a few resources at my disposal.

video; he can be a troll and not mention it.

[stagecontroller]

Such a pity to hear that. Yet the rare pleasures in life are the most exciting ones to archive after hard work, do not you agree?

video; Oh come on, doesn't he want to see the look on Albedo's face?

[fractured_white]

If it's a challenge you speak of, then you're quite right. A proper struggle can be itself as pleasing as the victory.

video; he's just waiting for the perfect moment

[stagecontroller]

The taste of victory is quite a luxury to taste in the correct form.

video; wait too long and Albedo will figure it out on his own...

[fractured_white]

*...He's starting to recognize that poetic style of speech.*

And all the sweeter after the bitterness of near defeat.

video; now is the perfect moment

[stagecontroller]

Oh, thee reminded me of something I once wrote.

"Cowards die many times before their deaths,
The valiant never taste of death but once."

video; And now you have one stunned albino on your hands.

[fractured_white]

*And that confirms it. Please hold while his eyes go a bit wider in realization and he plucks out a few notes to cover the pause.*

I wonder, then. How would thee consider a traveler who manages return from those unexplored lands of death?

video;mmm delicious

[stagecontroller]

[ Have a chuckle. Really. ]

I admire the script that performs such acts,
as I am find mine self in the same situation,
to whom I speak with thee such words before,
isn't that true, mine acquaintance Albedo?

video; And a beautiful turnaround, given his love of shocking other people.

[fractured_white]

Indeed, though the spoken word confirms with clarity the intent behind text. And now your words give me pause to wonder whether your situation is more akin to mine, dead and returned to walk the world of men or snatched from the life beyond death to reside among the living, such as that of my brother?

video; *clapclapclap*

I have died once and summoned to play the role of the Caster class during the Holy Grail War with a Master. Yet my own role came to an end, to raise again in this stage.

video

[fractured_white]

Similar, then, to my own resurrection as the White Testament and subsequent exit from the stage. Though the term partner is far more fitting than master for he who rose me from the grave.

I can hardly claim sights so ancient as the Holy Grail, but the Zohar I feel rivals it in infamy and dispute.

video

[stagecontroller]

Oh, will you speak me more about this Zohar you are so familiar with?

video

[fractured_white]

Most believe the object to be a source of infinite energy, but it's far more akin to a gateway. A portal to a higher order domain occupied by an entity akin to a god when compared to we lower dimensional beings. Even pale imitations of this relic of God have seen blood spilled and words twisted over their ownership.

[stagecontroller]

It is a familiar beast to me then, where the Grail grants an absolutely wish the winner of said War.
