[Mary has found herself in a small store with electronic keyboards. Her eyes aren't visible from the way the NV is positioned so anyone watching might believe it's KOS-MOS rather than the woman she shares her body with.

She'd never had any involvement with music in the Ancient Lost Jerusalem Era, and KOS-MOS hadn't either in the future , but Mary had made a point of looking up information on her NV on how to play. Fingers lightly touched across the keys until she started playing. And when she finishes, she says very softly:]

I like this instrument.

Music makes people happy, doesn't it?

Why would anyone make music that causes sadness?

Well -- it's not necessarily to cause sadness. It's just... sometimes when people play music, their emotions come through with it. So if they're sad when they're playing their music, it can sound sad too.

For minstrels it's pretty much their bread and butter, to be able to convey feelings to the people listening to them. Although they tend to play more jaunty music than sad.

I see. So feelings affect music. I never really heard much music before I came here, I had a more important task before than to enjoy myself.

[Granted, Mary hadn't completely awoken until she came here and KOS-MOS had taken nearly as long to develop her emotions and personality.]

And vice versa, sometimes feelings can be influenced by music.

I don't know what kind of task you had back home, but around here, there seem to be a lot of different types of music. You could take advantage of that.

I see.

I might do that once I've the time to do so. Is there anything you might recommend?

Anything by a classical composer, I think. Instrumental music seems to capture emotions often. Maybe it's because it's trying to convey a message without words.

I'll be certain to look for classical compositions.

[Mary's really enjoying this. KOS-MOS is in the back of her mind being neutral but she doesn't mind the music. And it's a good way to pass time and learn.]

It does seem as if that would be an effective way of sharing a message.

I highly recommend Chopin. His music is really beautiful.

Mm, back home there have been stories about bards who pass on messages through their music, either lyrically or otherwise. My friend Byakuya even mentioned that there are nobles who've passed messages through the use of their sleeves.

I may look for his works first then. Perhaps Yeshu will listen with me. Although, his attention span seems quite short for a feline.

I've known no bards in my life, sadly, so I lack that experience. Although... messages passed through sleeves?

[ Ella laughs at that. ]

That's a cat for you. They'll only pay attention to what they want to pay - [ And as if someone was insulted by her words, something breaks in the background. Damnit Lucifurr. ] ... attention to.

Ah, yes, sleeves. Apparently there's a way you can hold your sleeve - not a sleeve like a regular shirt, but one of those fancy, long flowing sleeves nobles wear; that conveys a message or something. Byakuya knows all about it, apparently. We got to talking about it when I was toying with a fan.

[Mary winces at the sound. At least Yeshu never got so insulted, he was almost like the real Yeshua in that manner.]

They do, I'm learning that steadily.

[Listening and looking curious and a tad bit surprised.]

Amazing, I never heard of such a thing before now but it sounds fascinating!

People can be pretty resourceful when they need to be. [ She leans over the couch to check and see what her stepsister's cat knocked over. Aww - she liked that lamp. ]

Having so many different ways to communicate without words, I mean.

[At least it was only a lamp and no a television or something even more expensive?]

That would be very useful, yes. Like with soldiers.

[Her only experience and that was through KOS-MOs while her Will was still sleeping.]
