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?*

I don't believe I'm going to get an admission out of you any time soon.

[namedforcat]

You make it sound like I'm guilty of the Durandal existing. Really Albedo.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

I suspect you and Rubedo both are guilty of that crime.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

I deny any involvement in that scheme. But, as it is, people seem to enjoy it in both the innocent and the juvenile ways.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

Quite the image you present for yourselves.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Most people see the innocent side. [He is calling you a 5 year old.]

[Video]

[fractured_white]

I suspect most people are incapable of realizing your ability to be immature.

*Right back at you.*

[Video]

[namedforcat]

I am mature compared to Jr.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

That's hardly difficult, Nigredo~

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Well, I suppose that is a fair point. But both you and he can be mature when the situation calls for it.

*He taps his fingers lightly on the keys of the piano and starts a new song.*

If not, I would have to question how either of us accomplished the things we did.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Yes, that's true, you know when you have to make it count.

[Video]

*He focuses on his playing for a little while before he responds.*

And you aren't always such an annoying stick in the mud.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

[Well, he hadn't expected that admission] Thank you, I've been working on that.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

*Don't get too happy, he still implied you usually are an annoying stick in the mud.* Perhaps given a few more years, you might make some more significant progress~

[Video]

[namedforcat]

[Yeah, expecting that switch. Really Albedo you're getting predictable.] That's fine, I've always been the slow and steady one. There's no need to race to the finish line on this kind of thing.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

*Shush, he already surprised you, didn't he?*

At the rate you're going, the universe will see its end before you reach that line.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Take your pick. Either I go at my own pace or it doesn't happen at all. I am open to suggestion.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

And here I'd begun to think the two options were one and the same.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Don't be daft. There is a mathematical difference between them.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

Oh? Care to enlighten me, then?

*Prod prod goad.*

[Video]

[namedforcat]

No. You're a smart man, I'm sure you'll find some equation that you like and that fits. Just keep your answer above zero and we'll be fine.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

Ahh, so a fraction of a difference, is it?

*This is what you get for letting him come to his own conclusions.*

[Video]

[namedforcat]

[It's this or let it come to a full blown snit match which he really isn't up for. This, this he can deal with.]

Say what you will, just don't go about making conclusions before you have all the data.

[Video]

[fractured_white]

*And Albedo's enjoying this, too. Not his usual choice of metaphors, but entertaining.*

I'm fairly certain I've come up with a reasonable range for any variables that might remain. At least, as far as this equation is concerned.
