Video [oo1] ⌘ Master of several strings~

[laetatiocaedes]

[ The feed, it seems, at first, was not meant to record this part, but it did. In the background, a young boy (sans tophat at the moment) is practicing the violin. It goes on for a good while before he puts it away to address everyone, clearly unaware the feed started early. ]

A-ahh... is this on? [ He seems nervous at first, but smiles. ] I hope

[Awwww. So cuuuute. <3]

You're looking for a job, Carl?

also Cal his last posttttt :c tag me tag me. /annoying

[laetatiocaedes]

Y-yes. Do you know Mister Sonata, Mister Spain...?

[ Sheepishly~ ] I'm not that good at much besides apprehending criminals... is... there a law system here...? A plain-looking guy also looking for a job told me to talk to "Akihiko Sonata"...

Yes ma'am~

[love_lostomates]

...Oh, you mean Akihiko? Yeah, he's a friend of mine!

[He pauses, nodding.]

But yeah, there's a police force here. They might let you help out!

♥

[laetatiocaedes]

Really? Maybe you can help me, then!

[ A big grin. ] I'm an S-class vigilante, so I'm used to being able to take down adults. People tend to underestimate me because of my age, but it isn't hard. I like it... it's fun. But I'm not much for other jobs...

[notjust_risette]

[She'd direct the boy to Akihiko but she's still mad at him for that incident in the pool.]

Sounds like you know more than just being a "vigilante". [She really does the air quotes. How could a little boy like him actually be one, right? As if she's one to talk.]

[laetatiocaedes]

... Do you think she means my hobbies, Sis...?

[ A pause. Oh sure Rise underestimate him now but one day if you ever meet face to face and you've got Kanzeon active, I can guarantee you she'll feel an over 9,000 huge power spike from more than just this kid's doll. ]

Ah... I suppose it might seem that way, but... that's... a little different. Creating automatons and the like... that sort of thing? Those are hobbies of mine. Like chess. I don't think I could make money with any of that...

[notjust_risette]

[Unfortunately, Kanzeon won't be making an appearance today.]

I was talking about the violin. You're pretty good at it.

Money? Sounds like you're really determined about getting a job, huh?

[laetatiocaedes]

[ sob why does everyone underestimate him. But Carl immediately flails a little bit--oh crap, she saw that?! Aaaaa--so embarrassing. He's shy and modest, so he doesn't like performing for others much. H-he was practicing for Alice, so he could repay her for helping him... ]

W-wait, you saw that? D-did everyone see that...? I... I thought it was off...

[ skjfjhgjfg. W-well. ] N-no... I-I'm not good enough to be a real musician. I can't. A-and... I can't stay at Noel's place... I need to be able to repay her and then find somewhere else in the city....

[rupturedbabylon]

[A condescending snort, and then sharp crimson eyes look down onto the small blond boy. Even an idiot would realize that they're being laughed at. Vigilante? 'Hurt too badly'? The twerp's got gall, as idiotic as he sounded.]

Dreaming of playing hero, boy? You are eager to seek pain and death, for a mere little child.

[laetatiocaedes]

Hero? Oh, no. I just don't want to impose on Noel for too long... I have to get a different place. That requires money, right? I don't think I have anything from my bounties back home here, so I'm just hoping to make more.

[ He's actually killed a lot of people but that doesn't need mentioning. AND YES HE IS A CONFIDENT LITTLE BRAT. ]

[rupturedbabylon]

[The list of things that Gil did that don't need to be mentioned is far too long. Raincheck, plz.

...And well. Isn't that cute.]

Oh? What convinces you that this plane may be similar to your world, in that regard? There may be considerably less crimes here, or perhaps, the makeshift law force and the careless rabble are simply too ignorant of their surroundings to realize that such things do occur, to begin with.

[laetatiocaedes]

... O-oh... well... I had assumed that maybe this place had a military rule over it like the rest of my world...

[ ... He's a kid, of course he didn't think AHEAD that far. ]

... If that's the case, then I'll just find another way. [ DETERMINED LOOK! Anything for his sister. ] Either way, it's only a temporary solution... what I need isn't in this world, and I would prefer it if we didn't have to extend our stay longer than necessary.

[herr_angrybl]

*Yeah, all that stuff he asked later on escapes him completely. As a musician he is incline to say - *

That was a decent playing for someone so young. Why not get a job as a violinist?

[laetatiocaedes]

[ KJsgfhg... ]

You saw that? How embarrassing...

[ If only he knew who he was talking to. ] Um... I can't. Besides, I'm still a little rusty... it's been a long time since I got to play again.

[herr_angrybl]

It's a great waste of talent then.

*A boy genius was not familiar term to him, you see.* But you're right about being rusty. The high notes were shaky and your grazioso could use work.

[laetatiocaedes]

[ ... Was he being given pointers? This is so foreign to him ffff. Everyone says that about him though; he wastes all his talent(s) because he cares more about fixing his sister. ]

Ah... well, since I never planned on becoming a musician anyway, I don't see how it could be a waste... but I'll take note of that. After all, I suppose there's always room for improvement on anything.

[gesangvoll]

You've found a violin, I see. [YES HE STATES THE OBVIOUS, HI.]

[laetatiocaedes]

O-oh, yes...

[ He is kind of aware now everyone saw that but it's embarrassing still anyway. He doesn't usually play for other people. ] I--I was practicing for someone.

[gesangvoll]

Perhaps you should place your Dreamberry in a place where you can tell if it is recording or not more easily, then.

[laetatiocaedes]

Um... I guess that would probably be for the best. The technical details of the Dreamberry are kind of different than what I'm used to; it seems to run on another source of energy, and the layout is a bit odd, but the basics are the same. So I suppose it's a good lesson, even if it is a little embarrassing... I'll definitely be more careful of when it is and isn't on in the future! That could really become problematic if I don't...

[ TL;DR Yeah he'll be more careful. ... He has a tendency to over-analyze and over complicate an explanation far too often though, thus, tangent. ]
