Because this island needs more music~

[landsharkchamp]

[[If you're wandering near the CMA, you're probably going to hear music wafting on the wind. If you choose to investigate, you'll see Cynthia sitting at what looks like...a piano?]]

This is so wonderful! I've wanted to play again for so long!

[[She's currently playing this piece. Feel free to come and listen, or request something for her to play

[... Of course he's going to be here. Staring at you like a weirdo.]

[landsharkchamp]

[[Cynthia's going to finish off her piece, still beaming, before she notices you lurking watching, Paul]]

Ah, hello Paul! I haven't seen you in while!

[battlestandby]

...

We've both been busy lately. It's nice that you've got some leisure time now.

[landsharkchamp]

[[She smiles warmly at him, starting a new piece, not taking her eyes off him.]]

Yes; the island has provided for me, it seems.

You look...quite well, Paul. Better than usual! Feeling good today?

[rival_silver]

[moe-Silver here is just going to stand back and listen in awe]

[landsharkchamp]

[[Cynthia finishes her piece, and notices Silver watching her. Hm...he looks different.]]

Silver! I haven't seen you in a while, either! How is Tyranitar?

[rival_silver]

A-Ah, you... Y-You must have the wrong person... [looks down]

What is that thing...? [nods in the direction of the piano]

[landsharkchamp]

[[Oh, well, a different Silver, then. That's fun too!]]

Oh, sorry about that. You must be new here, then! Oh, this? [[She runs her hand over the keys, playing a scale]] This is piano. It's a musical instrument. When you push the keys, a hammer hits a string inside the body, and a note comes out.

Oh Cynthia! Champion of Sinnoh, and champion of my heart! Might I join you so we can make beautiful music together?

[landsharkchamp]

....eh? Brock? I, er...

[donut_chef]

Yes, it is I, Brock! We can be together, our love will know no bounds! All you have to say to me is--

[donut_chef]

[Poison Jabbed]

--that I can have some sort of aspirin... auuugh...

[Shinji hears the sound and while he's not really interested in music, the somewhat frantic pace grabs his attention; piano music's supposed to be all slow and sappy, right?

So, curiousity getting the better of him, Shinji follows the sound.

Only to find the Champion playing it.

He stops walking, although his expression returns to the usual cold, fixed stare, he can't help but want to turn back. He wasn't ready to face her, not yet.

Even if all she was doing was playing music, she was still an intimidating presence.]
