[Good afternoon Luceti, today you'll hear music coming from your journals. What music exactly? Frederic playing his Impromptu No. 1 in A flat, Op. 29 to be precise. Once he's finished playing, he goes towards his journal and speaks up. Since he has a few things to say to everyone.]Good day everyone. I know the school year has ended, but I am still

...you do like to ask the hard questions, don't you, Frederic?

voice

[refinedmaestro]

I'm sorry my friend, I've been doing a lot of thinking on my own and was curious as to what others thought of these words.

Re: voice

[consultmybooks]

Oh, don't be sorry. I quite enjoy hard questions. But you must admit, you do seem to be setting a precedent for yourself.

I'm just...not sure how I'd answer, I'm afraid.

voice

[refinedmaestro]

Perhaps my curiosity is getting the better of me or I'm doing so much thinking that I do not know the answer and think maybe someone else's answer will be good enough to help me find the answer I am looking for.

Re: voice

[consultmybooks]

Perfectly valid turn of thought. I've done the same myself, in the past, and I'd be interested to hear what answers you get.

voice

[refinedmaestro]

Hopefully I can find the answer I am seeking, but as you said, this question may be hard for others to answer. But I need to know...because I am searching for answer. Although you do not need to apologize for not being able to answer.

[...long pause.]

For me, life is awareness of the world around you. Awareness of your own existence, and the existence of others.

voice

[refinedmaestro]

...I see. What of emotion though? What is your take on that?

Re: voice

[consultmybooks]

Physical manifestations of the state of our soul.

...of course, that wouldn't explain vampires, although the demon possessing the dead body might constitute as...some sort of substitute, in that regard.

voice

[refinedmaestro]

[He laughs a little.]

So you're saying I'm the same as emotion then? [He's teasing him.]

Re: voice

[consultmybooks]

[...hm.]

I didn't intend it that way.

But, well...yes, I suppose that's what I am saying. That you are, well, what might be called the embodiment of emotion.

voice

[refinedmaestro]

I have been told by many that my music inspired and touches their hearts and souls, perhaps I am the embodiment of emotion.

Re: voice

[consultmybooks]

Allow me to be one of those many, then.

Perhaps you are. Stranger beings have come about. I should know.

[refinedmaestro]

If Liszt knew about any of this, he would say he touched more hearts than I have especially with ladies. [He sighs and shakes his head.] Though sometimes I do wonder how I came to be on the same level of greatness as Maestro Mozart for audiences.

Re: voice

[consultmybooks]

[Excuse Giles, he just...has to pause and laugh, at that. He's laughing with you, Frederic, don't worry. He just...didn't expect "especially with ladies" as an addendum to that.]

I would love to see him provide any sort of backing to a statement like that.

...you came to be on that level because you're phenomenal at music, Frederic.

voice

[refinedmaestro]

[He's listening to that laughter of Giles' and then speaks once he's finished.]

He's a good friend of mine, he'd probably tell you all sorts of things and call me that ridiculous nickname he calls me. [He shivers at that thought of Liszt coming to Luceti. Though he listens to the rest of Giles' words and only sighs.] You and Helios seem to think I am spectacular when really I'm that not that great at all. I'm simply a man who composes music and plays the piano because he was born to play it.
