[In neat cursive his name is displayed on the blackboard: Herr Edelstein.

Below that, in smaller print:

Comments

[battleshiploli]

[She has been sitting with back straight the entire hour, paying attention with endless patience. Once Austria is done speaking, Musashi stands up, saluting in return.]

Understood, sir! Oh, I should stop doing that...

[klavierkavalier]

[Luckily, he has come to expect strange behaviour from the citizens of Mayfield. He raises an eyebrow.]

Your enthusiasm is appreciated. Would you please introduce yourself?

[battleshiploli]

Yes, sir! [She's never been to school before, so the military attitude continues] Batt-- Musashi Amashiro, sir. My favorite composer is Strauss, sir!

[klavierkavalier]

[A rigid appreciation for rules is better than no appreciation at all, so Austria does not mind.]

Excellent choice. I am quite close to him, myself.

[perfektsymmetry]

[Crowe looks absolutely horrified at all this work. He is terrible at music. It's like high school at home all over again. Time to fail his art credits.]

Um. M-My name is Calleo Crowe, I-I have no musical background a-and I'm not sure who my favorite composer is.

[klavierkavalier]

Nonsense. Or is it that you have several favoured composers? You may state more than one, in that case.

[perfektsymmetry]

O-Oh, I don't mean, well uh, I mean… Mozart is nice? And… Tchaikovsky?

[klavierkavalier]

[That seems to please him.]

Your favourite Mozart composition?

[dutying]

[ What is this class even. Sure, Minako is one all for discipline, but doing this is taking it a bit too far, isn't it.. She has better things to do here than doing homework for the 'school' here. Nonetheless she's asked to introduce herself, so with her usual pokerface she speaks up. ]

My name is Minako. Minako Aino. I'm a famous singer back home, and I suppose my favourite classical composer would be Chopin.

[klavierkavalier]

Oh? Opera?

[His expression softens. He is also rather fond of Chopin as a composer, and the memory of his death only one year ago is still fresh in his mind.] An excellent choice, thank you Miss Aino.

[dutying]

[ There's a somewhat bad aftertaste to Chopin after one of the people she was supposed to fight using it, but.. she likes it nonetheless. At the other question she shakes her head a little though, with a small polite smile. She's still used to using idol diplomacy. ]

I'm afraid it's nothing that ambitious. I'm just a regular pop singer.

[klavierkavalier]

Pop?

after class

[abovelions]

[Not entirely excited for her next class, Morgiana can stop to investigate the source of the music, right?

Well here she is, curiously peeking from the crack at the door.]

[klavierkavalier]

[He gets a little ah... absorbed in his music.

Needless to say, he doesn't see Morgiana.]

[abovelions]

[wow is he breathing over it That's fine with her; she will take that as his not minding/caring for her presence instead.

Quietly, she sits at one of the desks and waits until he finishes. She's never heard music like this before!]

[klavierkavalier]

[He doesn't even notice her enter the room. Once he finishes, however, he looks over his shoulder and - ]

... how long have you been there, Fräulein? It is polite to knock. [He looks a little flustered.]

[heteropennae]

-She is taking so many notes. And, okay, she objects a little to his use of the word 'human' over and over again, but she gets the basic point. Then came time for introductions... She hated standing in class now that she had her wings and tail back, but it couldn't be helped. Also, prepare to be surprised at her 'favorite composer'...-

Um... My name is Dizzy. My favorite composer is Freddie Mercury, and while I don't have much background, Sir Ky allowed me to sing at the church sometimes back home...

[klavierkavalier]

[The wings and tail don't bother him nearly as much as her choice of composer.]

Freddie Mercury? I haven't encountered such a composer, and what an unusual name. What are his greatest works?

[heteropennae]

Ah, he is a well known and praised composer in my world. While no one piece truly captures what he's contributed to the world of music, "A Night at the Opera" is considered to be his masterpiece, along with the rest of his band, Queen.

-SAID WITH A COMPLETELY STRAIGHT FACE.-

[klavierkavalier]

[He... doesn't understand a word she's just said.]

... I see. [But he's going to attempt to not look completely and utterly confused.] Are his compositions orchestral? What is his nationality?
