Did I mention I have a thing about snow? B-Because I do. I can't get cold without thinking about....that any more.

I guess...almost dying does that to you, heh....

Um! [Voice crack, there.] On the topic of frozen things...is there any sort of special way to teach types of moves? I don't think I can really afford a TM...well, not like I can go buy one without a couple weeks walk anyway...but it'd be useful for my Buizel to know one. He's...pretty eager to rematch Falkner, and a type advantage move would give him a good edge....at least, in theory.

Also- is busking illegal? Because if I have to make money, I'd rather it be doing something I enjoy. Then again, if it's suddenly winter now I don't know how well that'd work out...

Depends. If you're good at it, busking is absolutely acceptable. An improvement, really, given what we usually have to endure.

Bad buskers, on the other hand, ought to be jailed.

Well, I practice daily, and I never get reed squeal. I just need more sheet music.

Yeah....that's what happens when nobody tells them the truth.

[dressofheaven]

Then you should be fine. As long as you put the proper effort in and don't just expect people to toss you coins for abysmal performances I see nothing wrong with it.

Not that I can say anything about your performances until I hear something with my own ears, of course.

[the_pilgrim]

I wouldn't say they're....abysmal...[you gave him a sad.]

[dressofheaven]

[She rolls her eyes.]

Oh pay attention, that was obviously a general statement. I'm hardly going to pass judgment on you specifically without hearing you play first.

[the_pilgrim]

Oh, uh, okay.

[dressofheaven]

That's better. Really now, one would think you have self-confidence issues jumping to that conclusion so quickly.

[Just because your confidence is an unassailable fortress, Ilya...]

[the_pilgrim]

[Confidence? What is that?]

S-Sorry....

[dressofheaven]

You're forgiven, just pay closer attention to what people are saying.

Now then, what exactly is your musical style?

[the_pilgrim]

Classical, definitely.

[dressofheaven]

Now, you have my interest. I'm a singer, myself, and almost everything in my repertoire is older music. German folk is my specialty.

[the_pilgrim]

Yeah, I'm quite a fan of Beethoven.

[dressofheaven]

Everyone with any taste is a fan of Beethoven.

[the_pilgrim]

Mozart and Chopin as well. It...doesn't go over well with other people my age.

[dressofheaven]

... That's intolerable. How dare they spit on music's heritage?

[the_pilgrim]

They just can't appreciate it, I guess.

[dressofheaven]

Barbarians. No matter, you should find a decent audience here, I should hope.

It would be far better than what we're listening to now at any rate.

[the_pilgrim]

I agree completely. This music is so...repetitive.

[dressofheaven]

Repetitive, annoying, obnoxious... I can think of a dozen words for it, none of them good.

[the_pilgrim]

Good point.

[dressofheaven]

All of which just serves to highlight the importance of being a good example. So if you're going to do this, do it right.

[the_pilgrim]

Of course!

[dressofheaven]

Excellent. I'm glad we had this little talk.

... I'm Ilya, by the way. Ilyasviel von Einzbern.

[the_pilgrim]

I'm Wirt. It's nice to meet you.

[dressofheaven]

Likewise. I'll speak to you again, Wirt. Good luck with your music.
