[In the background, a quiet part of "Mars, Bringer of War" is playing at a low enough volume that Layton can talk over it. He's fiddling about with a small stack of music records in his lap.]I received a few classical records recently -- it makes me wonder if the genre is particularly popular here... or even if everyone is familiar with it. I'm

I've learned it, some. I'm in the choir at school and church. And one of my brothers plays in the National Youth Orchestra.

[puzzledprof]

Ah! Are you fond of it?

[beyondimagining]

Yes, very. I always like listening when Paul practices.

[puzzledprof]

Which instrument does he play, if I may ask?

[loyal_cube]

Ah, it's been some time since I've heard classical music.

[He seems pleased to be able to faintly hear any at all]

May I ask what song it is that you have playing now?

[puzzledprof]

"Mars, Bringer of War." From "The Planets." Are you familiar with it?

[loyal_cube]

Hmm. I'm afraid I'm not but I the sound is still pleasing none the less. I was really only able to enjoy this sort of music during my stay in Japan. Dancing and music can otherwise be enchanting or hurtful in the other worlds.

[puzzledprof]

Hmm? Do you mean to say they're banned in other worlds? [That sounds horrible D:]

[puzzledprof]

Did you not have much of it?

[guardianjoker4]

Oh, I'm certain we do. I just don't hear it often. I listen to Indie style of music.

[puzzledprof]

OH? What would that be?

[appleblossoming]

Oh! Did you get those from the scientists? I think everyone got presents!

[puzzledprof]

Ah, yes. That happens from time to time.

[appleblossoming]

It's awfully nice of them, don't you think? Maybe, maybe it's their way of apologizing for what happened before. [yeah right OPTIMISM FOREVER~]

[puzzledprof]

Well... yes, but remember that they kidnapped us. A few gifts cannot make up for that.

[battledancing]

Classical music, you say? I'm not sure it's the same kind in your world and mine, but we do have it, back home.

[puzzledprof]

That's good to hear. A world without classical music seems quite sad.

Ah, have you heard this one?

[He goes to turn the volume on the record player up. :3]

lmao I saw his question and went OMG HE'S GOING TO THROW A PUZZLE AT ME jfsjdsl;;

[battledancing]

[She falls silent for a minute so she can better appreciate the music.]

Ah, it sounds vaguely familiar, but not quite. Do you know who wrote that?

XD

[puzzledprof]

Gustav Holst, an Englishman.
