016 | Voice --> Video

[ After a long search, Takegami has found something he just wants to share with everyone. But instead of showing it to people, he is just going to play it. So enjoy a little piano music over the new netbooks.

Then he will sigh and the video is turned on. The room is disused and dusty, water stains on the walls and various plant life creeping inside. Maybe at one time the room had been full of artwork and elegant furnishings but now it was all crumbling, though a few pieces looked intact. ]

Ah, there. It's back in tune. Do you know how hard it is to tune such an instrument without the right tools? [ The camera swivels around so he can look at all you lovely people and smile. ]

The only question is how to it back to the City in one piece. I don't suppose any of you can help me, can you?

The bigger the cities grew, the larger the instruments became. At least that is what I have heard.

We have some pretty big cities, especially in the Marches with the city-states. How long have you played? I recall your telling me that you felt music was a calling.

My home city had half a billion people living there.

Since I was three.

Half a billion. [There's a long pause while he processes that.]

I suppose we haven't grown large enough for such instruments after all. If you've been at it that long, it's good you found one. It would be a shame for such dedication to languish.
