opus no. 10 [video + action, backdated to the 14th]

[pluckmygstring]

[The video feed does not start up anywhere in Austria's house, but this doesn't mean Austria is lost, amazingly enough. Instead, Austria is standing outside in front of a rather large and ornate building. It's actually been here for a while now, but she's only just now making this announcement. Why? Because Austria is a perfectionist and needed to

[It was more fun to go be excited at Austria in person, so that's what Canada was doing, wearing a bright smile as she hunted around the concert hall for her friend.]

Österreich! Are you still around?

[pluckmygstring]

[Austria is just kind of hanging around outside. She looks up upon hearing a familiar voice.]

Canadien? Ah, hello, I'd figured I would hear from you.

[A small smile. She's glad she was right.]

That predictable, am I? [She takes it as reliable, which is practically a compliment from Austria.]

Well, I was just wondering if you needed any help with the setup for your holiday concert.

[pluckmygstring]

Well, I would hope I'd hear from you, as I know that you possess musical ability. The concert hall is always welcome to you, if you'd like to join an ensemble or just use it to practice.

Help setting up would be lovely, thank you. Perhaps we should decorate?

[ Having little music experience, Sakuri is nevertheless interested. Something to do might be nice. Better than sitting in her apartment all day. ]

Um, what instruments can you play, miss?

[video]

[pluckmygstring]

As I said, quite a few. The piano and violin are my strongest, but I can also play the cello, oboe, flute, clarinet...

[She is now going into an obscenely long list of instruments, feel free to stop her whenever she's getting too longwinded.]

[ woah woah information overload ]

Um... how about something that's easy to learn?

[video]

[pluckmygstring]

[A huff. This is serious business for Austria.]

Easy? No instrument is easy. Nothing can be learned in just a few weeks, or even a couple years. Learning any musical instrument well enough to become a skilled musician takes years of practice. That said, most prefer the piano as their first instrument, as it is considered the best instrument to play when first learning to read music.

Can you get any more predictable, Austria?

Video

[pluckmygstring]

Forgive me for choosing not to value your opinion on the matter, Preußen.

Video

[beerjugs]

There's no accounting for taste, I suppose.

Video

[pluckmygstring]

Precisely why I choose to ignore you; you have none.

[made_of_science]

Oh, I should be terribly pleased to attend your concert, Miss! How lovely!

Do you offer voice training? I'm sure Papi would be very disappointed in me if I were to neglect my lessons.

[pluckmygstring]

Your attendance will be wonderful, thank you.

Ja, I believe I can offer that as well.

[made_of_science]

How fortunate for me! I shall have to inquire about your rates and scheduling, of course... Oh, this will be lovely, I'm sure!

[pluckmygstring]

At the time being I will do this free of charge. I don't believe this place even has currency, after all.

[Akiha holds up her violin.]

I've only ever played solo or accompanied by a piano and never for large audiences. But I have taken lessons since I was old enough to hold the instrument properly.

[pluckmygstring]

[Austria is very pleased and it shows. Subtly of course.]

Excellent. I take it you would be interested in joining a potential ensemble, then?

Video

[ritsu_kouyou]

I am. Akiha Tohno.

[pluckmygstring]

Excellent. I am the Republic of Austria. It's nice to meet you.
