008. [Video/possible action for Goldenrod City, also one other thing]

[PRIVATE TEXT TO EMMY ALTAVA]

I have something I would like to ask you, and some further things to discuss. Some more pleasant than others. Do you have time?


[VIDEO]

[Well, if you're familiar with the stores around Goldenrod (or even if you're not, and just happened to wander in there one day by chance) then the chances are good that you're aware of a music shop nestled amongst the larger stores and malls. More specifically and to the point, you may be aware of the piano set up within the shop itself - both for the sake of lessons to those willing to pay, and to advertise others like it for purchase. Descole is in here for neither, though had he the space he wouldn't be terribly opposed to the latter; for the last couple of days, he's come in when business is slow and settled himself behind the keys, sometimes playing, sometimes just running his hands over them lightly. Today, however, he is clearly settling for none of that. The camera clicks on after seeming to have been set up directly alongside the keys, showing nothing but his hands and a bit of the long ruffled sleeves covering the backs of them; he begins playing after a bit, and...uh. It's a bit difficult to say what in the world set him off but he's having at fairly hard and holding absolutely nothing back, his hands fast and firm on the keys. It's not anything classical, or even anything terribly classy; it's somewhat more akin to...well. While it isn't anywhere near exact, it's closer to this than anything.

Yeah. Um. There's probably something to be said for the fact that Descole is baring his soul to the world and it sounds sorta like Skrillex, but we won't go there.

His hands linger on the keys for a moment after the sound dies; the camera angle doesn't adjust any, leaving his face well out of the shot, but after a moment Descole speaks, his tone clipped and more abrupt than usual.

He's clearly a bit stressed; he's doing a terrible job of concealing it.]


I'm looking for ways to further improve myself. Anything at all. Physically, intellectually, I don't particularly care. Tell me what you excel at; I want to hear what your talents are.

I don't care that time doesn't pass back home, not while we're here; there is still such a thing as having been here too long. If I can't return to my life's work...

[He pauses for a moment; without warning, he slams his hands down heavily on the keys, the sudden clash ringing out sharply. One can...pretty much hear the rather alarmed sound of the shopkeeper in the background, telling him to watch it.]

I've had enough. Give me something to pursue.

[And with that, end feed.]

[Too late, she's worried.]

Um... I'm okay... But it's as if your music was talking to me... In your own language... saying how upset you were...

.... It was just something I felt. I guessed. Maybe it was just me looking too much into it. Or hearing too much into it. I'm sorry.

I'll see you then.

[He appears about half an hour later, as promised, holding the door for Olivia before stepping into the shop himself. The Xatu hums happily at the classy atmosphere and trots off to examine some guitars. Here's hoping the shopkeeper is fond of birds.

Ondorus himself heads straight to where he remembers the piano being, on the hope that Descole is still right where he'd been.]

It's easier to miss home the longer you're away from it... There's nothing wrong or unusual about that. No matter how many friends you make, or what you do, you still want to go back... it's something a lot of us have in common.

[ Oh, do continue playing. No complaints as long as it doesn't turn obnoxious or overpowering. ]

No exceptions?
snapandscoot: (Um....)

[W-Well of course it was just a card you received a short while back! Just how y-your card was just a card she received a-a while back and...!!]

Ah, yes I....well, I also got yours in the mail. Rather sweet of you to think of me, in that...way-

[Thankfully, for poor Emmy's sanity, the waitress pops up at that exact moment to take their order - tea for both of them, of course. It gives her a moment to peer at the menu, resisting the urge to hide behind it. For a moment, she's jealous of her dining partner; that mask is cheating!]

Did you...like the card, then?

[she is senshi pony.]

Of course. I have my best friends with me, and they're from my world. And I love each and every single one of my Pokemon. But... I still miss my cottage, Ponyville, my other friends, my pets, and my body...
snapandscoot: (Hmph)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2013-03-02 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe she should have ordered something stronger than tea...]

Well it's not like I was!

[...so we're both sitting here

having sent the other Valentine's Day cards

and completely avoiding the fact that the cards that were sent

were Valentine's Day cards

...

great]


I just....thought it would be a nice gesture, that's all!

[Hmph!!!

That's right, I take care of animals. I guess you could say I'm like a veterinarian, but I don't get paid to do it. Sometimes I travel to find animals who need my help.
snapandscoot: (hmm)

[That waitress has the best timing in the world; here is the tea, so Emmy can busy herself with pouring her cup while fighting to calm down. Yes, excellent! Calm! Calm and collected!

....after a few moments of rather hmph-filled silence, Emmy decides to break it. They aren't children, after all.]


....so what else did you want to speak to me about?

[ENOUGH WITH THE CARDS

WE OBVIOUSLY CANNOT HANDLE THE TRUTH CARDS]

[Nah, there's weirder out there. As long as you don't start spouting weird incongruous leaps of logic and references to modern earth things without context, the dress sense gets a pass.

...besides, it's a cape.]


The feeling is mutual. [Ondorus produces a hand from beneath his own cape for shaking.] I'd say that I hope you're well today, but you seemed more than a little out of sorts already.

[Light humor by understatement...?]
snapandscoot: (Happy)

[Emmy sips her tea silently as she watches Descole preparing his; it will never not amuse her slightly. As bizarre as it is, the topic shift actually makes her feel a bit more relaxed. At least this particular subject doesn't make her blush so much.]

He hasn't, actually; I've been keeping an eye on things but he's yet to directly target me. Rather nice, really. Things have been...rather peaceful.

[....although....]

I caught a bit of your broadcast before I replied to your message...is everything alright? You...can talk to me; I'll listen.
