Case #Something. Paradisa Sinfonia.

[cantacquityou]

 

[Miles is in his room, practicing a bit of flute in his spare time. Miles was a great patron of the arts, and he particularly enjoyed symphonies. Goodness, did he a miss a great orchestra...

...This prompts an idea.]



Just out of curiosity... who, amongst us residents, are musicians?



I am the mood for a bit of chess. Have you time this evening?


The ceiling is yours. Should I take my leave?




[OOC: This post is for the IC Formation of the Paradisa Sinfonia. It's not absolutely necessary to reply if you've signed up your character, just a chance to play out their participation ICly should you wish (especially for some characters who may need a little more nudging).]

/will never forgive :\

[a chuckle]

Either the best orchestra Paradisa has e'er seen or a cacophony that can rival the greatest childcare centers.

/crai ;_;

[cantacquityou]

Somehow, my money is on the latter.

......./steadfast!!

[doublethefun]

[sounding somewhat amused] Ah, I would not bet against thee in that respect.

Still, 'tis an intriguing idea and I would be glad to participate.

[cantacquityou]

That would be most splendid, Your Highness. In it for the laughs, no doubt?

[doublethefun]

[there's a suppressed giggle] Nay. I have faith our musical endeavors shall be rewarded. [eventually]

[cantacquityou]

Your optimism is far-reaching, indeed. I can already surmise you to be a driving force in this quaint little scheme.


[Foreshadowing ftw]

[doublethefun]

Any presumptive efforts on my part will be for naught, if not for the passion and enthusiasm of our group. [yup, she's flattered.]

[cantacquityou]

If any sort of 'passion' and 'enthusiasm' exists as a result of this, my Fair Mare, I'd be quite pleasantly surprised.

[doublethefun]

[a chuckle] We have not yet started and thou art already so optimistic.

[cantacquityou]

I suppose I can't help my penchant for realism. How long have you played?

[doublethefun]

[there's a pause as she starts counting up the years...and then gives up]

Long enough. However, I must warn thee that I have scarce touched an instrument in the last thousand years or so.

[This is one Miles Edgeworth...dumbfounded. Good Job, Luna.]

[doublethefun]

[there's a long enough pause for her to wonder if he left or something]

...Miles Edgeworth?

[oops. Has she never mentioned this or something?]

[cantacquityou]

It's generally considered bad manners to ask a lady her age, but I take it yours far surpasses mine...

[doublethefun]

[there's a chuckle] And yet, others continually inform me that I 'look good for my age.'

[probably not that often, but whatever.]

[cantacquityou]

I could only wonder what age an elder of your kind would push...

[doublethefun]

[aheh] The only pony older than I am is mine sister.

[yay for lack of canonical agess!]

[cantacquityou]

[Pfft. This is an adventure.]

...Is that so?

[doublethefun]

[a magical adventure, certainly]

I am not known as the younger sister for naught.

[cantacquityou]

[Allow me to make this worse.]

You almost sound as if you're uncertain of your own age.

[doublethefun]

[uh oh. Deflect, deflect!]

Age matters little, when one can merely blink and an entire generation of ponies hath come and gone.

[cantacquityou]

[Well done. XD]

I couldn't begin to imagine. That is, unless time is measured differently in your world...

[doublethefun]

[unlikely. She would've noticed.] It doth take 27 and a third of a day for the moon to complete its phases both here and in Equestria. There are 23 hours, 56 minutes, and four seconds in a sidereal day - or if I were to quote the more common mean solar day, 'twould be 24 hours. Whilst I have not been here a year, there is approximately 365 and a quarter of a day in a year.

[cantacquityou]

...

Has anyone ever told you that you deserve a raise?

[doublethefun]

[there's a pause and then a laugh.]

Nay, I cannot say anypo - anybody hath ever said as much. Whilst it is expected that the Princess of the Night doth know her astronomy, I am grateful for thy appreciation.

[you are the best, Edgey.]
