*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?*

I learned this art myself over quite a few years.

*Looking distinctly smug? Maybe.*

That's pretty neat!

[Alice tries to hum the previous song a little.]

Alice wants to do something like that, too.

Then perhaps you'll be able to find someone among the residents of this city inclined to teach you.

*The implication there being that he isn't the teacher sort.*

Alice hopes so.

But for right now, can you play Alice another song, mister?

[Seems she really likes hearing the piano. So she's gonna be needy.]

[fractured_white]

Perhaps I can manage that.

*Well, he really likes playing the piano and listening to himself play, so he'll give her another song.*

[Oh boy another one. She's still smiling.]

Thanks, mister!

...What kindsa songs do you like?

video

[fractured_white]

I'm rather fond of the more dramatic pieces, myself.

[letsplaylady]

[Head tilt.]

Dramatic...? Are those fun to listen to, too?

video

[fractured_white]

They lack the tempo of those I've played thus far, but they do indeed have their own distinct appeal.

[letsplaylady]

Alice wants to hear one of those, too!

[fractured_white]

They're among my favorite to perform.

*And he'll oblige her with this piece.*

[letsplaylady]

[Oh...that one wasn't so fun.]

That one's kinda...sad...mister.

[Her smile is now a frown. She looks troubled.]

Music carries as many connotations as it does forms. It isn't merely an expression of joy, you know.

video

[letsplaylady]

Oh. I see. Alice likes happy music, then.

video

[fractured_white]

As is expected of such an innocent seeming child as yourself. I wonder how long it's going to last?

[letsplaylady]

Until it stops being fun and Alice gets bored.

[Child is oblivious of rhetorical questions. Have a blunt response.]
