[network] voice; @standardissue; Norfinbury's smallest piano plays My Heart Bleeds For You [Day 95]

[deus_ex_phs]

I was looking through my pack today, trying to lighten my load, and I found something I forgot to share. Here, take a look.

[He switches to video briefly, showing a light blue envelope in his gloved hand, decorated in the corner with cute white cartoon stars, with "Winter" written on the front in large, neat script. He flips it over, opens it, shows that it's empty, but it looks like it might have held a card once. Then it's back to audio.]

We found this in the house we think is Andromeda's. Just thought it was interesting.

[And physical proof that Winter might once have been here.]

On the topic of other interesting things to share, though, my group recently checked out the house with the piano on the eastern side of town. At the same time, some of the others were at the school. Given what happened with the instruments at the school when Dr. House played the piano there, we set up a video feed between us to see if the same thing happened between the pianos.

It'd probably be easier to show you what happened than to try to describe it, but I'll warn you up front. It gets a little disturbing. Don't watch this if you have a problem with blood.

[When he switches this time, it's to a prerecorded video clip, and then a second one, showing Zell at the piano in the school and Tifa at the other one. The two are talking to each other as Zell teaches her the song that House composed, and then they play.

And the pianos bleed.

The video becomes more and more distorted the longer they play, until finally the video clips end.

Then Kunsel's voice comes back on.]

There's definitely a connection. Still not sure what it means.

Comments

That was supposed to be "it isn't" not "there isn't". facepalm

If you do try to move it, I'd suggest being prepared for anything. [ Like those shadows and other weird things. ] Although, if I get there first, I'll let you know what happens.

[ Well, she knows House played a piano somewhere, and if these are the only two, then that narrows down the list. She'd play, but she doesn't know how. ]

[deus_ex_phs]

I don't think I'll be in that area again anytime soon, but we'll definitely be cautious if we do anything there. If you get there first, though, I'm definitely interested in anything you find out.

[ninjainviolet]

Okay. [ Caution? What's caution? Can you eat it? ] Not sure when I'll be near one of the pianos, either, but I'll let you know when I am and what happens.

[ He may not be the only one who finds out, either, if what she thinks will happen, happens. ]

[deus_ex_phs]

[You can eat it, but it probably tastes a little funny.]

Thanks. Good luck if you do end up there.

Actually, scratch that. Just good luck in general.

[ninjainviolet]

[ Maybe if she adds pineapple to it? ]

No problem. And thanks.

Yeah, good luck to you guys, too. Be careful.

[ Then she's changing the topic. ]

By the way, have you found whatever had been in the envelope?

[deus_ex_phs]

Not yet.

[And he won't for a few days yet.]

Probably a card of some kind, is my best guess. But we might not ever know.

[ninjainviolet]

A card? Can you tell by the envelope for what?

[ She pauses. ]

Are you going to bring it up if she contacts us again?

[deus_ex_phs]

No idea, really. It looks about the size for some kind of greeting card of some sort, maybe birthday, maybe congratulations, maybe something else, but that's as much as I can guess. I do plan on asking the next time I get a chance. Just keep an eye out on any network posts she makes.

[ninjainviolet]

I wonder why the card isn't with it. Those things are pretty important, so you'd think there'd be some trace of it somewhere, right?

But, yeah. I'll keep an eye and ear out.

[deus_ex_phs]

I'm guessing the envelope wasn't deemed important. Winter probably kept the card, but left the envelope behind. It might be in Russia, for all we know.

Anyway, hopefully we'll have some answers soon.

Seems like a good place to wrap....

[ninjainviolet]

[ Sheena shakes her head. There's something nagging at her about the envelope being left behind, but she can't quite put her finger on it.

She doesn't ask about this Russia thing, since it sounds like a place. If only she had a map. ]

Yeah. Well, we're not going to get any standing around here wondering, are we? [ Smiling, she shakes her head. ] But, I'll let you know if I find anything out about Winter and the card.

And if there are other instruments that bleed. I'll talk to you later, Kain.

It does. o/

[deus_ex_phs]

[Not like Kunsel knows all that much more about where Russia is. Just enough from what others have said to know that it's far away.]

Thanks, and I'll do the same.

Talk to you later, Sheena.

[He turns the feed off. Time to deal with some other things.]
