[ The feed isn't particularly remarkable, at first. It's obviously a familiar setting to anyone who's been: Seventh Heaven. A girl, Sayaka, is sitting inside Seventh Heaven, the feed focused on her, a fist to her cheek and a just barely unreadable expression on her face. She's confused, angry, lost, scared, calm -- it's a cluster of

[Frederic more or less decided it was time to come out of the apartment and at least get something to eat. Stopping at the Seventh Heaven to see how things are and to get a bite to eat, he spots Sayaka sitting there. Seeing the expresses on the girl's face, he walks slowly up to her.]

Excuse me but I have not seen you about here before, I presume you are a New Feather.

[ action ]

[searising]

Is that Luceti lingo for new person?

[ She looks up, pocketing the item. ] If so, yeah, I'm a New Feather, I guess. You've been here longer than me, right...?

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

[He takes a near by seat and sits next to her after bowing politely first.]

Yes, that's right. And to answer your first question, that is also correct. Forgive me for interrupting you, but I thought you may need some assistance.

[ action ]

[searising]

...yeah, probably a bit. [ She laughs, and turns a bit to face the stranger. ]

Is it -- unusual? I mean... this place. [ ... That's a bad way to word it. ] I mean it just takes people from their homes, so is it... weird for it to take someone from after dying?

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

Death is taken lightly here, so it's not weird to hear of someone coming here after they've died.

[ action ]

[searising]

Must not be fun for people who thought they'd never see their friend again. [ She would know, of course. ] Thanks.

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

You're very welcome. [He pauses for a moment.] Forgive my manners, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Frederic, Frederic Francois Chopin. It is a pleasure to meet you, miss...?

[ action ]

[searising]

I'm Sayaka. Um, you probably get this a lot, or... maybe you don't, but... Chopin, as in the pianist?

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

Yes, that would be me. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Sayaka.

[ action ]

[searising]

It's really nice to meet you, too, um... I really love your waltzes.

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

Thank you for the compliment, Miss Sayaka. Would you like to hear me play right now?

[ action ]

[searising]

[ ... sflsdfksd;s;fgfhgkgf ]

That'd be really cool! But, uh, you don't need to feel like you've gotta prove yourself to me or anything, uh... This is really not the weirdest thing that's happened to me. Meeting a famous pianist, I mean, uh... [ She doesn't know if he's aware of how old he'd be in her world, if he were... still alive, for some inexplicable reason. ] I wouldn't turn it down but don't feel pressured to!

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

Oh no, any admirer of mine deserves to hear me play. And I hope my music helps you to smile a least a little bit more.

[ action ]

[searising]

... You're a really nice person. A lot different from what I imagined.

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro]

[He gives her a gentle smile.] Ah thank you. Seeing a lady such as yourself with an expression of distress is something I cannot let simply pass me by, that is why I want to help you smile.

[ action ]

[searising]

You don't have to inconvenience yourself like for me. ... But thanks, I really do appreciate that. [ MAN a musician being nice to her. If only this had been canon.... ]
