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.]

[Placing her cup lightly back on the saucer, Emmy takes a good look at Descole. He's obviously frustrated, and who could blame him? What she wouldn't give to see Big Ben right about now....

The Professor going home did make things worse for her. After all, how is she supposed to be his number 1 assistant if she's not there to assist? It's simply awful.

....hm.]


If you're that desperate for a distraction I could always teach you to cook, you know. You said you were terrible at it, didn't you?

Ponies in my world have a special sign... a mark that lets us know what our destiny is. Once we found what we want to do in life, and what we're good at, the mark appears on us to confirm it.
snapandscoot: also boobs. (BRITISH MAFIA)

I have one condition, however.

[Smiiiiiirking~! Finally, she gets to smirk a little. Picking up her teaspoon, Emmy points it straight at Descole, as if it were a sword.]

You have to teach me to fence.

[The epitome of stylish.]

I know how that feels. [Ondorus takes a seat on a stool beside the piano.] Have you gotten any promising responses?
snapandscoot: (giggle)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2013-03-02 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Good! Then that neatly solves your puzzle, doesn't it?

[omg not only does she get to smirk, she gets to be smug! This encounter really has turned around!]

I think I'm getting pretty good, if I do say so myself~! Don't worry, we'll start your lessons with something basic. I assume you can handle toast?
snapandscoot: (Default)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2013-03-02 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, well....it's not like I'm all that busy, so. Besides, any excuse to show off a little~

[ugh will you....stop it, let her take another sip of her lemon-free tea, there]

Oh, and you had better not go easy on me when it comes to my lessons, or you'll be rather sorry rather quickly!
snapandscoot: (Correct!)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2013-03-02 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Can't we just eat lemon tart instead.....]

No, but look! I'm wielding this spoon like a natural!

[....just shut up and laugh, will you]
snapandscoot: (/wink)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2013-03-02 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
As well you should!

[...oh, well

this is kind of nice, isn't it]


Although I'm hoping you intend to let me wield something a bit larger than a spoon, dangerous as I may be with one.

[ Joonhee's pretty good at tuning it out but it's nice to not have to tune it out. ]

I think I've heard of longer but honestly even two months feels really long to me. [ at the same time it's not like he hates it here. if he were to leave suddenly there are people he'd miss and he'd miss his pokemon. it's just not knowing what to do with himself is making him listless. ]

I wouldn't say backwards, there are so many different places I don't think it's possible to measure them against each other. Hip hop is...a subculture I guess, but I just meant it as a type of music and a style of dancing.
snapandscoot: (Happy)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2013-03-02 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes he....was rather talented with them. It's part of the reason I'd like you to teach me how to do it.

[Emmy grows quiet for a moment, stirring her tea despite looking off to the side, obviously lost in thought for a moment. It was...very odd to not have the Professor around. Even though he'd been gone for a little while now, the wound was still a little raw. Forcing a smile onto her face, Emmy returned her gaze to Descole.]

I'm fine. Besides, I do a lot of work separated from him; it's not like we're connected at the hip, after all! Besides, I still have Luke!

You just worry about me being student number 1!

It's nice here mostly, there are a lot of very kind people here. But at the same time I understand what you mean by frustrating, I just feel like I'm not doing anything with myself here sometimes.

I wouldn't mind...I'm not sure I can get this to record properly though. [ he lacks a pokemon with hands that could play cameramon ]
snapandscoot: (Assistant Number 1!)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2013-03-02 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[That actually makes her laugh slightly, smiling at him over her cup.]

Don't worry; you'll find me a fast learner. Provided we don't spend too much time on the theory and can get straight into the practical!
