Hi everyone! I'm Elliot, it's nice to meet you all even if this isn't where you wanna be right now. Sorry about that. I teach music and I'm a healer with Coven infirmary training. So if you need either of those things, just lemme know!

Anyway, um, I had a question. What's music like where you're from? Or what kind of music do you like? There's so many people from different places, I feel like I'm always finding out something new and I'd like to learn as much as I can.

Oh- I'll start. I'm from Erebonia and we have a lot of classical music - stuff with lutes, violins, piano, etc. Operas are pretty popular too, though in the last few years Northern rock - or I guess just rock, has been spreading! Oh, and radio's really big. I still miss listening to my favorite radio show honestly...

S-Sorry, didn't mean to ramble. What about you guys?

No? Why does there have to be lifting at all??

[stopfen]

Isn't that a part of most dances? I don't know any proper ones, but that's what I've been told...

[She's still bullying.]

[fiddlestick]

J-Just where are you getting that information?! No, lifting is like...advanced stuff! Like professional ballets do it to show off!

[stopfen]

That's what I saw them doing in parties at the capital... [Though she'd only attended a few. Being one of the last scouts meant awkwardly being dragged along to meetings.]

What is ballets?

[fiddlestick]

It's a dance style that's more a performance art than something you do at parties.

People tell a story through the dance. I hear it's really difficult, to the point that some ballerinas work until their feet bleed.

[stopfen]

[Welpppp. Her interest in that has been killed before it had a chance.]

But isn't dance supposed to be...fun?

[Please ignore the voice hitch at the last word. Like she doesn't really get what it means.]

[fiddlestick]

Haha, it is!

But it's also an art. And ballerinas take their art very seriously.

Don't worry, most people don't dance until their feet bleed.

[stopfen]

[Please ignore the tail end of the drawn-out 'ohhh' of realisation.]

Like the entertainers here? Like Mettaton?

[Dramatic 24/7, there was no off. That was just how into the art he was.]

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, exactly!

Consider it this way - art, music and dance can all be really fun hobbies. But if you want to make a profession out of it, you have to commit yourself to it on a whole other level.

[stopfen]

[She's learning so much about ART!]

I think I'll keep sewing as my most artistic hobby...I don't think I could put enough effort into something new.
