Hello everyone!

My name's Elliot Craig, and I'm to announced that starting today, I'm offering music lessons through my business, VII Notes! So if you've ever wanted to learn a music instrument, now's the perfect time! Music can be a great tool to help you get through stressful time. And for you witches, it can be a pretty good channeling tool for magic!

The instruments I'm currently offering are:

Piano

Violin

Guitar

Singing

Recorder (great beginner woodwind instrument!)

My going rates are affordable as well! Standards rates are:

	30 Minutes	45 Minutes	60 Minutes
Solo Lesson	2500c	3000c	3500c
Group Lesson*	1500c	2000c	2500c

*No group lessons offered currently for piano

And now's an even better time to try out music, because the first lesson is free! Discounts are also available for those with lower incomes. Music lessons will take place either in the barracks or the Aoide Foundation school of music, depending on the instrument. Thanks to the Aoide Foundation for loaning of instruments!

Finally, for those who're interested in just hearing some music, you can find me performing in the Entertainment district on Weekend Evenings at

[insert popular street corner] provided there's good weather! In the meantime, please check out a recording of one of my original songs, "Beneath the Bright Sky", featuring piano accompaniment by one of the fine students at Aoide Foundation. [He attaches an audio recording done via the communicator] This song and more will be on my new album, which is currently in the works!

Thank you for listening!

[OOC: All actual lessons will be handwaved, as while Elliot is musically gifted, his player played one (1) clarinet badly]

Oh!

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

[usurpers]

What were you feeling when you wrote it?

[fiddlestick]

I was thinking about traveling with my friends.
In school, we'd be sent to different locations around the country.
It'd be hard work, but something about traveling there was always exciting.

Guess in a way, it expresses my love of traveling.

[usurpers]

It sounds like something akin. It has a spring to it. Almost a little contagious.

Ever gone beyond?

[fiddlestick]

It makes me happy to hear that, I meant it to be inspirational!

Beyond? You mean like beyond the wall?

[usurpers]

Out of your country.

[fiddlestick]

Oh!

Sorta. I've been to the Nord Highlands outside of Erebonia. One of my best friends is from there, it's really beautiful.

Besides there, not really. Erebonia is very large though, so you see a lot just from traveling around it. Still, I'd like to see other places someday.

[usurpers]

You have to put your career to good use out there.

[ he just— enjoys hearing about other places. it's refreshing. ]

You haven't seen it all, have you? Of Erebonia.

[fiddlestick]

I plan to!

Nope. Not even close. If we're only counting major locations and not small towns, I'd say I've seen...half?

[usurpers]

Hope you get to see the rest.

[fiddlestick]

Thanks.

What about you? How much have you traveled?

[usurpers]

Nowhere out of Paradis.

[ considering the time he has left, well. he’s going to be a bubble burster if he tells what he thinks, but. he’ll go off on one of hange’s ideas to preserve it. ]

I might get to see a neighboring nation, though.

[fiddlestick]

Well, hey! Going to a neighboring nation is nothing to sneeze at.

Do you like traveling?

[usurpers]

I don’t think about it a lot, but if hearing what it’s like from you counts I’d say so.

When we’d go on missions, I never really focused on the traveling.

[fiddlestick]

I see...

[Hmmmm]

If we ever get the chance, we should travel somewhere together! So you have the experience.

[usurpers]

[ it might be hard to focus on the traveling part until problems are solved and he’s dead, but. the thought counts. ]

Geardagas needs more exploring after the infection pushes back. It’s a deal.

[fiddlestick]

[Yeah, Elliot knows there's a lot in the way of them going out and traveling. Still, that shouldn't deter someone from dreaming and working towards that goal.

Besides, something tells him Eren never really got to enjoy his life. And if his lifespan really is shortened...it's all the more important to get those experiences.]

Yeah! I'd love to see what else is in this world.
