[ Cue one young girl who looks to be about ten or eleven appearing, she looks curious. There is a full-grown phoenix sitting upon her shoulder. ]

Hello, everyone. My name is Hotaru Tomoe.

I was wondering if anyone else here played a musical instrument. My mama Michiru has been teaching me the violin and it came here with me. So I was curious if anyone else had one too, and if you wanted to play with me sometime.

[ The phoenix makes a trilling sound. ]

My other inquiry was if anyone had any music that they would like added to the Entertainment Feed. I've already been adding everything I know how to play, and wouldn't mind learning more for everyone to enjoy. It's okay if I've never heard the song before, I'll learn how to play it! A lot of what I know is classical and anything from Earth's 1990s and before.

[ Hotaru looks excited over that idea, learning to play songs. ]

Lastly, I want to know if anyone would like to learn how to play the violin. If there were enough people for me to give lessons to as a small job when I'm not helping out with my friend's businesses. I know teachers for music tend to be older, but I'm very good, I promise.

[ He's her first student, she's excited about it. ]

Hm, I don't know how much they cost here so I'll leave that up to you. If you decide not to, you can use mine for practices.

We don't use money, so I'll have to trade for it, but . . . [ but one more look at the girl and falco decides two things: one, he doesn't want to accidentally break something so important to her, and two, he'll probably be able to learn better if his instructor is constantly a mirror. ] —I'll find one.

[melodyofsilence]

Okay. We can always start with some music reading lessons until you find one. [ If he wants to get started right away. ]

[grice]

That sounds great. [ there's something missing— oh duh. ] —I'm Falco.

[melodyofsilence]

Nice to meet you, Falco-san. [ There, she knows her student's name now. ] Did you have a preference for when your lessons take place?

[grice]

[ ?!?!?! -san! sounds like mister to him oh, ]

J-just Falco's fine, really! I'm barely older than you, [ by what, two years? three? anyway, ] for the place, um— I'm really flexible. Since you'll be teaching, I can go to the best place to play.

[ without bothering anyone— he thinks he'll be making more noise than music for quite a bit! ]

[melodyofsilence]

[ That's sure a reaction. ]

Okay, Falco. You can just call me Hotaru, then. [ No need for any titles. ] I don't think Usagi-chan or Makoto-chan will mind if we have lessons here at the house.

[ This way they can also check out who the students are. ]

How about we start with twice a week in the evenings?

[grice]

That sounds great—!

[ his first instrument! ]

Thank you, Hotaru! I'll see you, then? I'll get my violin, first.

[melodyofsilence]

Excellent.

[ Baby's first music! ]

You're welcome, Falco. I'll see you soon.
