[So as we all know, this Allen likes to play piano. Give him sheet music for anything, and he'll be playing it very quickly. But today, he's decided to do something new: instead of just playing, he's trying to compose something. Except he's not so good at the composing part, and even after quite a bit of work it sounds really dull and simple,

My, I'd say that song needs some livening up.

[playyouasong]

What do you mean?

[thats_nt_normal]

It's dull, Allen. You'd put an audience to sleep with that, you need a lesson in composing.

[playyouasong]

Well excuse me, I've never composed before. If you know how to, then I'd be glad to listen.

[A Mana appears! Leaning over Allen's shoulder] What's wrong with your hand?

[playyouasong]

No clue, they've just been itchy for the last couple weeks.

[He pulls off his gloves to look at the skin underneath, but there's no rash or anything.]

And that's the weirdest part: there's nothing visibly wrong with them.

[no_moon_tonight]

Weird. [Taking Allen's hands and inspecting them, paying more attention to the left hand out of habit.] Maybe it's the gloves? If you've started using a different washing powder or something that can make it itch.

[playyouasong]

Well I've been using what they have here, but I wash my clothes in it too, so if it was the soap then I would itch all over. Plus it would leave a rash if it was that, wouldn't it?

What's wrong? [Looking over his shoulder at the sheet music.]

[playyouasong]

Aaah, it's nothing too big. Just dry hands, I think. The problem is more with THIS.

[pointing at the sheet music.]

It still doesn't sound right.

[jigsawfalls]

Hmm... [Picks it up, glancing at him to make sure he isn't overstepping any lines. Looks over the notes.]

Can you play it?

[playyouasong]

Sure.

[He plays what's written just fine, but the problem is that what's written is really dull and boring.]

[layingflowers]

It sounds boring.

[Because obviously that's so helpful]

[playyouasong]

Any suggestions?

[layingflowers]

Something that isn't so dull.

[playyouasong]

I'm trying.
