4-7: What Insurmountable Talent!

Harveston - Assembly Room
Marja Marja	Now now, the party is much too far from over. Let's get this party started in time with the music, everyone.
Grim Grim	Epel's granny's real amazin'! She's playing the pipe organ so well!
Sebek Sebek	To be able to play an instrument as well… You never cease to impress, Marja!
Jade Jade	It seems that Sebek is the type of person who views everyone around him as his dear friends. It is great to see that he is such an amiable person.
Idia Idia	It's the opposite isn't it… He's being all "who cares about the humans" no matter how you look at him. You made those remarks knowing full well what he's like in the first place, didn't you?
Epel Epel	It is customary to sing and dance during parties and service award ceremonies here in Harveston. That's why the villagers love musical performances regardless of how good or bad you are!
Marja Marja	Are you able to play any instrument, loves? Let us all make merry together.
Epel Epel	I'll play the concertina then.
Jade Jade	That instrument bears a striking resemblance to the accordion.
Epel Epel	Yeah, that's because they both have bellows.
Sebek Sebek	Oh, you seem to be quite the experienced player, Epel.
Epel Epel	Really? I guess it's because I've always played for ceremonies and other parties since I was a kid. I may not be able to play complex pieces, but it's fun to breathe life to the party together with everyone else. Although, the grown ups around me are usually the ones playing instruments anyway, so I'd often have fun dancing instead. Or clapping to the beat to bring up the energy!
Jade Jade	I shall play a melody of my own as well. After all, it would be rude of me not to return the favour everyone bestowed upon us by throwing such a wonderful party on our behalf. Now, allow me to play this fish-shaped recorder…
Epel Epel	Wow! You're so good at this! I never knew you could play the recorder, Jade.
Jade Jade	You see, I often enter the mountain's domains to forage for edible vegetation. By using the bear-repelling whistle as often as I am required to, I could naturally hone my musical abilities over time.
Sebek Sebek	Becoming so skilled when your introduction to fluting is a bear-repelling whistle… What insurmountable talent you have!
Epel Epel	Huh? Wasn't Jade just kidding us?
Jade Jade	Hehe, I wonder myself.
Sebek Sebek	I'm not going to just sit back and let Jade be the only one hogging the limelight. I shall play the violin now.
Epel Epel	You know how to play it?
Sebek Sebek	No, not at all.
Epel Epel	Huh?
Sebek Sebek	I made sure to listen to Lord Malleus each time he plays his violin. It's also a challenge I intend to take on someday. This ensures that we can have commonalities that we can delve on in conversation. Now, allow me to begin.
Ssssssskr-skr-skrrrrchhh…
Epel Epel	Ugh???!!! It's terrible!!!
Grim Grim	S-Stop it! My ears are ringing!
Epel Epel	N-No matter what you say, it's impossible to play something well without practicing a single bit, Sebek.
Sebek Sebek	Guh… Now this is too embarrassing of an anecdote to raise in conversation… However! I have understood the marvel behind Lord Malleus's performances! To think that it would be such a difficult instrument to play… The Young Master is truly amazing in that regard!
Epel Epel	Why don't you play another instrument instead?
Sebek Sebek	That's fair. In that case, I shall play the flute like how Jade did. Here I go…
PRRRRRRR!!!
Epel Epel	Whoa!!! It's unbelievably loud! Just how much lung capacity do you have?!
Jade Jade	You appear to have quite the knack for the flute, Sebek. I would love to practise with you someday, if you don't mind.
Sebek Sebek	Hmph. Lord Malleus himself is talented at playing stringed instruments, so becoming better at playing the flute is completely meaningless for me.
Marja Marja	Is there anything you are able to play for us, Idia dear? Whether you're good at it or not, we don't mind.
Idia Idia	Hah? Even if you were to make such a demand out of me…
Marja Marja	Why, don't say that, dearie. Please, the floor is all yours.
Idia Idia	Yikes, now it feels like this is never gonna end if I don't do it… SIGH…what a pain… Sir Sebek, pass the violin over.
Sebek Sebek	Th-The violin, you say? Got it.
Idia Idia	Sigh… Here goes nothing.
Grim Grim	Umyamya?! He's super duper good at this!
Sebek Sebek	He's…definitely not up to Lord Malleus's standard, but he's certainly a step away from playing as magnificently as him!
Epel Epel	He sounds like a pro! This is amazing! Who would've thought that Idia had such a talent hidden up his sleeve!
Jade Jade	Hehe. All of you, please pay attention and watch. The bow's movements are not matching up with the sounds they supposedly produce, are they?
Epel Epel	…Ahh! The violin music is being played from his smartphone instead!!
Grim Grim	Whaaat?! Isn't that unfair?!
Idia Idia	Fuhee! That's high-res audio playback for you.
Epel Epel	The sound was so pleasant and audible that I was completely fooled…
Sebek Sebek	How shameful of me to have thought that Idia was amazing for even a split second…
Idia Idia	There's no need to go through all the pains of practicing an instrument if the option of just pushing a button to play something a real pro would exists, is there?
Grim Grim	Your royal majesty's gonna play the cymbals!
CRASH CRASH CRAAAASSHHH!!!
Sebek Sebek	I-It's ear piercing! Don't play the cymbals in succession while in an enclosed space!
Epel Epel	Please play them gentler instead!
Grim Grim	Hehe~! That style doesn't suit me one bit!
CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH!!!
Epel Epel	G-grim, play these castanets instead.
Grim Grim	Fnagh? Ohh, got it! I'll bring the mood up with these then!
Clack clack clack clack!
Jade Jade	He seems quite enthusiastic about it.
Epel Epel	Well, he seems to be having fun so that's all that matters.
Clack clack clack clack clack clack clack clack!!!
Sebek Sebek	N-Nevermind, it's all noise now!!
Epel Epel	Are you able to perform on any instrument, Yuu?
Choice 1: I can.		Choice 2: I can't.
Epel Epel Idia Idia	Really? Let's hear it then! Wha-? You're so good…! I didn't know you had such a talent. Please teach me next time, okay!I mean that's normal…
Sebek Sebek Epel Epel	Hmph. It was a so-so performance.
Epel Epel Jade Jade	This means we can get the party even more livelier. Let's all play together as one!
Villager 1 Villager 1	Tha li'l uns sure are good no marra if it's dance or song, ain't 'ey!
Villager 2 Villager 2	Aye! And we ain't about ta get beat! Get up an' dance, fellas! Dance!
Grim Grim	Wahaha! I'm gonna dance too! Yeah hoo!!!!
Villager 2 Villager 2	Oh~ splendid! Looks laik dem city cats are reet different from us uns after all, aye.
Grim Grim	Fnagh! I'm no lowly cat, okay!
