Love Music? Learn an Instrument Today at VII Notes!
Hello everyone! My name is Elliot Craig, and I just wanted to advertise that I'm offering music lessons! Music is a wonderful form of expression that anyone can get into! It makes a great hobby, or it can be used to help channel magic for witches out there. And for you romantic types, it's a great way to impress a special someone in your life~

Currently I offer lessons with piano, violin, guitar, recorders (great for kids!), harmonicas and singing! Group or solo lessons are available, with discounts offered with group lessons. Special accommodations can be made for monsters! And as always, the first lesson is free!

Please contact me today if you're interested! Thank you!

[OOC: A sign up post with more information can be found here! Lessons will be handwaved for the most part]

[stopfen]

People say too much on them.

[fiddlestick]

Ha...

Yeah, I'd agree with that point right now.

[stopfen]

That's probably bad for business for you.

[fiddlestick]

Aidios, I really hope not. I need the money.

[stopfen]

The locals don't seem to use this. [you may still have customers who don't know. ]

But I don't think the people who could afford music would want to know.

[fiddlestick]

[Well, when put it that way...Elliot feels a little irked. While Mikasa may be talking about TLDR, to Elliot it makes him think of the possible discrimination that goes on in this city between humans and monsters.]

All I did was have some intimacy with my Bonded. I get not wanting to hear details, and it's not like I want to share them either... but if the mere idea of being with my Bonded in my off-hours is that off-putting...

Well. They can learn music somewhere else.

[stopfen]

It wasn't your part I was talking about. That's your personal business. But if someone looking for lessons for children saw that lot.

[aka parents could be weird, even though they'd obviously done somethings. Otherwise, they wouldn't be parents. ]

[fiddlestick]

I don't think there's that many parents who use this. I usually only see mirrorbound on here.

And regardless...you do know that I'm not the one who brought it up, right?

[So why are you lecturing him about it?]

[stopfen]

That's what I said.
I don't understand how someone could ask those things.

[This wasn't anywhere near lecturing. ]

[fiddlestick]

Oh. Sorry, I misread. [He's defensive right now]

Well I get my friends, they just like to tease sometimes but don't mean anything mean by it. And they've helped me a lot with my career.

[THE OTHER GUY ON THE OTHER HAND....yeesh. Not a fan]

[stopfen]

They might want to think a bit more next time.




But that's how friends are.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, I think some will. Some...probably not.

[Crow is a lost cause when it comes to humility]

[stopfen]

Yes. Friends are like that.

[She misses having friends.]

I'm in town a lot at the moment. If I hear anyone mentioning music stuff I'll let them know. I'd be wasting both of our time if I went.

[fiddlestick]

Thanks Mikasa, I appreciate it.

But hey, why would you think it'd be a waste of our time?

[stopfen]

I'm not creative.

[It's a very vague answer. ]

[fiddlestick]

Haha, that's not true. Maybe you haven't had a chance to explore that side of you - but everyone has creativity in them.

[stopfen]

I don't understand what you mean. I don't have the skill or ability to make something like that.

[Something physical, yes. But something that evoked feelings was out of her range. ]

[fiddlestick]

You don't have the skill or ability to make something like that yet. That's because you haven't had a chance to explore and learn those skills that you don't.

But believe me, even the most battle-worn soldiers can benefit from music and the other arts.

[stopfen]

Encouraging someone who can't pay to attend won't help your business eiether.

[fiddlestick]

Don't worry! The first lesson's free. After that, I can also offer discounts or you can join one of the free group lessons I hold throughout town.

Music should be for everyone, after all. Not just the rich.

[stopfen]

I've been eating more lately. Even if I'm working and you discount it.

[Elliot, please. Her food bill is going up and she's trying to get some way of fighting outside the bright wall.]

[fiddlestick]

Mikasa. Just try the free lesson.

If you don't like it, then you can start coming up with excuses not to do it.
If you do, we'll work something out.

Okay?

[stopfen]

Where is it

[There's a sigh there. But that doesn't come across because text as she gives in. ]

[fiddlestick]

[Sorry Mikasa, Elliot is a persistent one]

I have a room in the barracks, that's where I hold most of my lessons.

As for times, I have openings in the afternoon if that works for you.

What another thread for her turning up cause they probably have things to talk about?

[stopfen]

It does. I have nothing planned.

[Beyond not starving. It was hard to make plans when anti-social and hardworking. ]
