[Even though the feed starts with a familiar BZZZT, this is not the sound of someone who minds it-- in fact, it is as though Cynthia hasn't even felt it. What is heard next might explain the reason of her distraction: a single scale, played on a piano. It comes off as slightly strange as the instrument is obviously out of tune, though anyone with a

You found a piano here? How marvelous!

[battledancing]

I did! I never thought I could find one in this place, but it was certainly a wonderful surprise!

[beyondimagining]

It certainly is. This is the first I've heard of any instruments being here.

[battledancing]

Actually, someone on the network told me they had heard of another piano, not too long before I found this one. I wonder if we can find any others...

[puzzledprof]

It takes quite a few specialized tools to tune a piano, including tuning forks or something else that we know is making the right note. I don't know if we have them all here -- if there's a music store anywhere, you might look there. I would gladly accompany you, of course.

[battledancing]

Ah, well-- When I said it needed repair, I didn't mean just tuning. See, one of the legs is broken, and several keys are loose. That can be fixed with regular tools, I believe.

But that is an excellent idea, Professor! I wouldn't want to trouble you with keeping me company, though.

[puzzledprof]

I suppose, but that won't really affect the way it sounds, will it?. Unless the strings are broken altogether, it needs tuning to make music.

It's not a wise idea to go anywhere in this city alone, and I know the streets. Please, allow me.

[battledancing]

It might, if the keys fall apart... The strings are in good condition, though, so I suppose tuning would be the next step.

And I wouldn't go by myself-- I've learned to keep Garchomp and Togekiss out at all times. If you insist, I would be happy to go with you, though.

[allephoria]

This is Onee-san, right? Um, you know how to play the piano?

[battledancing]

Hmm, it's me, Chihiro. And yes, I do. I've been playing the piano since I was a child.

[allephoria]

[She brightens up instantly, and though you can't see her smiling you can probably hear it.] You must be really good then.

[battledancing]

[She can. And she finds it adorable. ♥] Ah, I wouldn't go as far as saying that, but the few people who have heard me play did seem to enjoy it.

[battledancing]

[... d'oh.]

Ah-- Would you perhaps know of someone else who could?

[battledancing]

That's a shame. I could really use his help, in that case.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

I don't mind. What do you need to ask?

[battledancing]

Well... Takato told me it was you who managed to remove Guilmon's chip, and I was wondering if perhaps you would mind doing the same for my Pokemon. I know it's a lot to ask, but this has really been troubling them, especially Garchomp.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

Even though I wasn't sure I could remove Guilmon's chip because Takato said he's made of data, I was still able to do it. So, I don't think it'll be that hard to remove the chips from your Pokemon. Do you know about the risks already?

[battledancing]

Hmm, I've been told. Both Garchomp and Togekiss are aware of the risks, also, but they really want to be able to help more people in this place-- and so do I.
