Hello everyone! With the recent events, there are a few thing I would like to address! Mainly, a few items that found their way into my hands that I believe belong to someone else!

First would be this violin!

[Attached is a picture of the aforementioned instrument. It is quite blurry, Marie is most likely not Aefenglom's best photographer, even if among other French citizens of the 18th century she would probably rank fairly well. There is a logo of the maker visible in the picture. It is rather blurry but maye you still recognize it?]

As much as I would love to be able to play one well, I am very much just a listener, so I believe it should be returned to the original owner! Amadeus? Salieri? Wataru? Does it look familiar to any of you? Or maybe it could belong to Elliot?

Second thing that found its way to me would be a cookbook!

[The second picture she attached is a bit more readable than the first. It's a very old-looking book. Whose could it be?]

I believe it might have been mistakenly given to me because it is in French! However, it was not originally mine so I would love to return it to the owner! If I do not find them, though, I will donate it to one of the city's resturants.

Third item, is... uh...

[She should have locked this part of the post. But she did not and here it is. Purple, shiny bunny suit. Very sexy!]

Salieri... I probably should not have searched your things, but your room is such a mess I wanted to do something nice for you and clean it up a bit. However, I came across this stuffed under your bed and I...

Listen to me, I understand everything. I have never judged your interests and neither do I now. However, I also think that neither should you! If this is something you are into, rather than hide it under your bed, wear it with pride!

Though I am a bit puzzled on how you find this in Aefenglom... Is it... someone else's?

[thejoyrider]

Ah, so it belongs to someone you know?

[overworker]

I believe so. The company is based in my hometown, actually. Ellie-- Elliot Craig-- a friend of mine is a violinist from the same town. They're known for making high quality instruments, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was his.

[thejoyrider]

[Oh, she knows this violinist!]

I have had the chance to meet Elliot here in Aefenglom! Isn't he really talented? I am so glad I had the chance to hear him play

[overworker]

He really is. We live in the same house, so I'll occasionally sit in on his work while I'm studying, since we both stay up pretty late. I'm actually taking piano lessons from him-- even if he won't allow me to pay him for them.

[thejoyrider]

Oh, that sounds nice! Maybe you would be able to play together soon? The two of you seem to be pretty close...

[Marie is not really a fan of being subtle]

[NOT HERE]

[bad_crowmance]

[ But he sure is following with interest! ]

[NOT HERE]

[RUDE, CROW....]

[For a long moment she stares at the message, blinking. And then. Finds herself in a panicked fluster. Is she really that obvious??? That's no good!? What does she say? Yes? No? Neither???

Unfortunately Marie has to wait a while for her to muster a response, including a lot of typing, erasing and retyping... Play it... cool...]

Do we really? I don't know if I'll ever be that good but it would be nice if I could just once.

[Nnnnailed it.]

[thejoyrider]

[And Marie does not even realize what she made the poor Towa go through]

Would he not love to play with you, regardless of your skill level?

[overworker]

Well we did talk about it a little, after I did a song for his radio show. But that was back when I was just singing. But Elliot can get pretty scary when a performance is involved. I'm pretty sure it'll be a while before I'm ready for anything he'd be willing to put out there.

[thejoyrider]

Oh, so he is that kind of a teacher? I cannot imaging him getting angry at someone he cares about

[overworker]

Ehehe well, Elliot's first love will always be music. No one can really compete with that.

But I don't think he would be so hard on people if he didn't believe in them.

[thejoyrider]

I can see that. The strict educator who does all of it for the sake of his students, huh?

[She giggles]

I do not think his second, third or fourth love would ever need to compete with his first though

1/2

[overworker]

Heehee, yes, something like that.

I suppose not.

[Wait for it............]

2/2

[overworker]

[Ohhhhh my god.]

[thejoyrider]

[overworker]

i mean, i know who the person he likes is and-- they're very lucky, really!
but it's not me
no one's ever really

[fiddlestick]

Um....

Was this supposed to be public Towa?

[overworker]

[Oh my god just. End her now.]

none of this was supposed to be
any of this
i'm so so so sorry

[sylphid]

oops...

[overworker]

mmrfrmmmnnnnghhhh

[the text of defeated frustration

[thejoyrider]

[Someone is rather puzzled here]

did I...
did I break them?

[fiddlestick]

[Yeah Elliot's not feeling so hot about this right now either, though for an entirely different reason]

Towa....

I know I've said I liked you several times.
Did you think I didn't mean it...?

[overworker]

[When she woke up this morning, she had absolutely no idea that she was going to die today.]

No! That's not it.
What she's talking about is. I figured it was a little different.
Not. The kind of thing you'd want people thinking about us.

[How does one actually express this kind of thing through text it's ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE.]

half written, left unsent

[thejoyrider]

Wait, are you not the person who...

oh it is a mess
