Eleven // Action // Voice

[notursalvation]

[Anyone in the vicinity of the music room might hear someone inside, idly picking out a hesitant tune on the piano. There are no chords and no sense of tempo or distinction in volume, just single notes, played mostly with a single hand.

After awhile, Nagi opens an audio feed.]

Can anyone advise me about hobbies? I...think I may need to find one.

[What a strange voice. But Rise responded with voice as well, though she did prefer video.]

Hobbies? What kind are you thinking about? There's lots of choose from!

[voice]

[notursalvation]

To be honest, I haven't given it a lot of thought. It's been a long time since I had one.

[voice]

[like_tofu]

Really? That's kinda... What'd you do during that "long time" that you didn't have any hobbies at all?

[voice]

[notursalvation]

I was working on an important project.

[voice]

[like_tofu]

It must've been really important... But if you have time now, then let's think of something!

Hobbies are usually based on things you like anyway! Like reading, watching movies, singing... It isn't just limited to staying indoors either if you like going outside and things like that.

[voice]

[notursalvation]

Right.

It's been a long time since I did anything I enjoyed in that way.

[That is really depressing. Rise became more curious about this person with the mysterious voice. It didn't seem like he was lying.]

It's time to put an end to that dry spell then! C'mon, talk to me! Are you the kinda guy that can sit somewhere and work on something? Or do you prefer to be more active?

[voice]

[notursalvation]

[If it's possible for him with his voice, he sounds thoughtful when he replies.] I suppose both. At least, I'm used to both.

[voice]

[like_tofu]

[Rise thought about it some more. Hm...]

Both is good! Keeps your options open. What've you tried out so far? Anything yet?

[voice]

[notursalvation]

Well, I've found that I have no musical talent.

[voice]

[like_tofu]

None whatsoever? That can be fixed if you really want it to!

But see, this is a start! Do you want a hobby where you create something too? That's also something you have to think of!

[voice]

[notursalvation]

This seems like it shouldn't be so hard.

[voice]

[like_tofu]

It shouldn't be! If you're interested in music, I can sort of help you out with that! It'll just take some practice!

[voice]

[notursalvation]

I think it's more curiosity than interest.

[voice]

[like_tofu]

That's something! If you weren't curious about it or anything, then we wouldn't be having this conversation!

But we can keep brainstorming! You shouldn't be bored while you're here since that isn't any fun.

[voice]

[notursalvation]

[An awkward laugh.] Thank you.

Do you know much about music?
