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?

[fiddlestick]

Haha, I'd be happy to play for you! I'll have to check to make sure it's been tuned, but consider it my thanks for looking after it.

[thejoyrider]

Thank you, I cannot wait! I can ask Amadeus to check its technical state in the meantime. He should know if there is anything that needs to be done to it

[fiddlestick]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never has he read a sentence that's caused him such a sense of immediate horror to rip through his body. ]

NO!!! DON'T LET HIM TOUCH HER!!!

[thejoyrider]

Why? He has a lot of experience with instruments, you know

[fiddlestick]

I know, but he doesn't have experience with a Rieveldt! Or with her!

[Normally he'd be embarrassed at being caught talking about his violin like its a person. But right now he's so worked up at this potential threat to his baby, he doesn't even think of it.]

Please, I've handled the maintenance myself for years. I'll know precisely what to do.

un: mozart.

[fordeath]

Oh.



And what if I've already done it? [ he. hasn't, but what's the fun in that. ]

[fiddlestick]

[INTERNAL SCREAMING]

What?!

You're kidding, right?!

[fordeath]

I'm afraid not. She sounded like a crow was trapped in her.

Maybe the trip was especially hard on the poor thing? I had to do something about it.

[fiddlestick]

IM COMING OVER THERE RIGHT NOW

[fordeath]

[ wait, wait let him have one last one ]

Oh, okay! I also noticed that she had a few marks, so I gave her a good buff! You can thank me later.

[ if elliot shows up, all amadeus will have for him is a cute face to punch ]

> Action

[fiddlestick]

[Yeah forget walking, Mozart's got him worked up enough that he is TELEPORTING there.

So within a minute or two, there will be weak POUNDING at the door. Elliot is wheezing from all the energy it took to teleport such a way, but dangit anything for his violin. ANYTHING]

Re: > Action

[thejoyrider]

[And Marie, blissfuly unaware of what went down between Elliot and Mozart on the network will gladly open the door for him. She did not expect him to come here so soon though!]

Elliot, is that you? Please, come in! Shall I make some tea?

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot meanwhile does not have time for niceties. He has a panicked look on his face]

WHERE IS SHE?! WHAT'D THAT MAN DO TO MY VIOLIN!?

[thejoyrider]

She?

[Did he mean the nice girl Marie talked to on the network? Oh no, did something bad happen to her? That would explain why he was so stresed...]

If you mean the tuning, Amadeus was not here yet...

[fiddlestick]

My violin!!

[WHO CARES ABOUT GIRLS? MUSIC IS HIS LOVE]

-- He's not?! [He stops, wide eye] Y-You mean he was just messing with me? He kept talking about all these tuning things he did.

[thejoyrider]

Your violin is right here!

[She points to the instrument, still in its case, untouched]

He talked about what? I assure you, he was not here. Do not believe him so easily.

[She laughs]

[fiddlestick]

What?

[He looks to where she's pointing, and there his violin is. He gasps and practically RUNS over there, quickly opening it up to see and--]

Oh thank Aidios! It's okay!

[He's picking it up, inspecting it to be sure. It looks just how he left it the morning he left for Aefenglom. Relief washes over him]

Man, he really had me going for a moment!

[thejoyrider]

[Marie observes this whole scene unfold with a smile. What Amadeus said must have really scared this boy for some reason, huh]

You surely love this violin a lot. Was it a gift from someone?

[fiddlestick]

[Oh...someone else was still here. He'd forgotten]

Ah- a birthday gift from my family.

Rieveldt's are really high quality instruments where I'm from. And this one has been with me a long time.

[thejoyrider]

[What a lovely family reunion did she just witness]

And you never even thought of replacing it or getting a new one, I assume? Either way it is good to have a memento of one’s family while in this faraway land.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, well it's not like I wouldn't use another violin. Sometimes that's necessary. I've been using one I got from a pawn shop here. But a violin is one of those tools that if you get a good one and you take care of it, it'll last your whole lifetime.

[He smiles at Marie]

So thank you, for getting it back to me. I really do appreciate it.

[thejoyrider]

[And Marie smiles back at him]

Well, it is not like I did anything but bring it here from the Coven and notify you that I have it... Though, if I might have a request... Could you play something for me?

[fiddlestick]

Still, some people might've not bothered with that, so I'm still grateful!

And of course! Lemme check to make sure it's tuned and I'd be happy to play for you.

[thejoyrider]

[Now this is something she is very happy to hear! She beams and sits down in a chair nearby, all ready to properly enjoy the private performance.]

Take all the time you need with it! Anything I could help you with?

[fiddlestick]

N-- Wait, um...

[He was about to say no, but this might take a moment, so might as well request something to occupy her time so he can focus on his violin]

Do you have any tea? It might be nice to have a cup while you listen.
