Seventeen Rose Petals Fall - [Voice]

[its_rose_damnit]

[Fabulous, just fabulous. Dist had been wanting to practice the piano, especially one particular song, but the place where he practiced would be closed down. Truly wonderful, oh yes. But Dist has never been one to give up easily, and though he'd have loved to create his own piano to have in his home, that just wasn't possible. He didn't have that level of skill or knowledge under his belt just yet, so...time to ask the village. Yay.

Ugh, how degrading. Dist hated asking for help. ...But still, if he ended up with a good piano he could use to practice, then it would be worth it. Even genuises needed a bit of assistance sometimes, after all. He'd just have to keep repeating that. Plus, Dist had something he wanted to try and actually compose, as well.

We'll see how well that turns out. For now, Dist needs a piano first and foremost.]

Now, I know how obnoxiously helpful some of you are, so I have a request of the more giving batch.

If there happens to be anyone with a working and properly tuned piano in Luceti somewhere...I'd like to ask permission to use it for a few hours. It so happens the one I was using prior will no longer be available to me for some time. A few days, at best. [How annoying.] It'd be better for me if I didn't have to invade anyone's home, really, so if there does happen to be another piano available for everyone's use, I'd like to know its location. ...If you would all be so very kind, of course.

[Bleh, that left a bad taste in his mouth, but there was no way in hell Dist would ask for a piano for those worthless impostors that call themselves scientists. Not after the draft, and especially not after taking Nephry away. He doesn't want or need their help.]

You can't have Brook's.

[SO THERE.]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[Oh, there are so many things Dist could say to you, you pest. But he'll reply with only this--]

I don't believe that's your decision to make, child.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Of course it is. I just made it.

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

What I meant, you witless little urchin, is that it is up to this Brook person to grant me permission to use his piano or not. The right does not fall on you.

[Stupid kid. B| Why is he even talking to you? Go away.]

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does. He went home and left me his piano.

[voice]

[folklorist]

[ A piano, hmm? Well it just so happens Helios' flatmate is a famous pianist so you know. ] My flatmate owns a piano. I also think...there might be one for use in one of the restaurants. Mm Seventh Heaven if I'm not mistaken? But if not...you can probably ask him yourself if you can use it.

[voice]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

The piano within the restaurant is the one I've been using. However...the restaurant will be closed for a few days time, as stated by its owner. [Really, really, really inconvenient, rrrrgh.] And though I'd really like to avoid using that of another, it seems I've little choice in the matter.

[voice]

[folklorist]

Oh? It's closed for a few days? Mm what a shame, they have wonderful food there. [And wonderful desserts and the like. But yes, not the point. Also the world is here to inconvenience you Dist. ]

I'm sure Frederic wouldn't mind. He does give lessons after all. But, ah, if you'd like to speak with him about it I could let him know.

[voice]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[Dist doesn't comment on the restaurant and its food. He's never actually eaten there, so he can't exactly say much on it, Plus, it was irrelevant to his goal right now. Dist does, however, perk at the mention of actual lessons.]

Lessons? I've been learning on my own, so if you could ask your housemate to contact me, I'd be quite grateful.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid the only available one I know of is in somebody's house.

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[Oh, perfect. But what should he expect from such an uncivilized bunch of gorillas? Humph.]

And you're absolutely certain of this?

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

I would hope so. I live there.

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[Dist's brows raise up in mild surprise. Hm, if this the same flatmate another person was speaking of? He wonders.]

Is that correct? Is the piano yours, sir?

[Voice]

[healedbythelight]

Ah, may I ask... Which piano had you been using previously?

[Voice]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

The one located at the restaurant. I believe it was called...Seventh Heaven.

[Voice]

[healedbythelight]

Ahh. So, that is usually available for anyone to play?

[Voice]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

Yes, usually... [Was I not clear?] It also seems to be the only available one for free use, unfortunately. And as the restaurant will be closed...I need a replacement. Hence, why I am asking.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, do you play the piano? [No, Grune, Dist just likes knowing where all the pianos in Luceti are.]

8D <- I made that face just now.

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[...What is this sudden sense of foreboding?]

Yes, I do. And I have a relative amount of skill, actually. But I want to better that skill, and see if I can compose something myself.

:D <- I made that face just now.

[lostinmyway]

Are you a musician?

So much happiness.

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, madam, this is just a hobby I've learned here to pass the time. I'm a scientist by nature, and I work with machines. I was the best at the latter, where I came from before.

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

Now that you mention it, perhaps the Welcome Center would be a good place to put a piano if another becomes available.

[Voice]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

A splendid idea. Perhaps someone should request it of our most hospitable keepers. [Because Lorelei knows he's not asking the Malnosso for one damn thing.]

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

I would say they owe us more than enough favors for what they put us through on a regular basis. A piano would be a suitable repayment to start with.

[Voice]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[Hmph, what they put them through indeed. Dist narrows his eyes somewhat, a deep frown etching its way onto his face.] ...I don't think a piano would even come close to justifying the atrocities they've forced upon us all. ...Though it would certainly earn my gratitude.

For a second, perhaps.
