The photopiano is a remarkable piece of magitechnology with a fascinating history.
It's in good shape now, but it was overrun with vines earlier.
Please do your part to maintain it.

Also, a reminder to keep your computer desktops clean and organized.

Peculiar. Do we just need to [...] weed it periodically, then?

[...]

[Lionel]

Did you get any kind of [...] feeling when you were tidying up the photopiano?

[lionellovelace]

That'd be really helpful. Thank you.

[Zadie]
I don't think so. Can you be more specific?
I take it you have had a feeling around it.

[zadielovelace]

It sounds like we should've been doing it all along, anyway. I'm glad you saved it!

[Lionel]

Just [...] a bad feeling. Like something that made you afraid.

I didn't but my friend did. And they're very brave, so they don't feel like that often.

Zadie/Lionel

[lionellovelace]

No, nothing like that. Interesting.
I plan on continuing to visit the photopiano.
I'll let you know if something like that happens in the future.

Zadie/Lionel

[zadielovelace]

I haven't either. It's [...] strange. But I guess it's good too.

Thanks, Lionel. ♥

Are you going to learn to play it?

Zadie/Lionel

[lionellovelace]

I hadn't considered that, but I think I might.
You'll tell me if it's ever too distracting?

Zadie/Lionel

[zadielovelace]

It wouldn't bother me. [...] It might feel like home. A little. But in the good way.

But I'll tell you.

Zadie/Lionel

[lionellovelace]

I'll probably even enjoy playing it more than music at home.
No mom over my shoulder following along.
Suppose you wouldn't want to try to learn too?

Zadie/Lionel

[zadielovelace]

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure hovering is a compliment. But I know you don't need it.

[...] Oh. You know me. I'd just slow you down. ♥ But I'll keep it weed-free!

Zadie/Lionel

[lionellovelace]

I'm in no hurry. If you change your mind.
Thank you, Zadie.

[necrodanseuse]

Oh I've cleaned the thing more than my share already, this year, thank you.

[lionellovelace]

When was that?

[necrodanseuse]

Just a few weeks ago.

[lionellovelace]

Interesting.
That's a fast growing vine then.
It'll need regular maintenance.

[scarletthatfield]

that thing's in Wildgulch. don't that make it their responsibility?

[negligently]

no????

[scarletthatfield]

do your part, Rye.

[negligently]

i've got my own instruments to tend to, and no one's making you sweep the floor or trim the hedges over in the gardens

[scarletthatfield]

how do you know they ain't? these hedges don't look this good by themselves.

[negligently]

i KNOW because you'd never stop bitchin about it if they did

[scarletthatfield]

guess that trait runs in the family

[negligently]

i'm here to go to school not do chores

[scarletthatfield]

talking to you's a chore

[bratsquatch]

get him

[negligently]

this is some fuckin betrayal going on right here

[zadielovelace]

I like talking to you most of the time.

[negligently]

only most of the time????

[zadielovelace]

Most of the time is good.

[champlified]

An organized desktop for an organized mind.

[lionellovelace]

Precisely. We are products of our environments.

[champlified]

To an extent, I think.

[lionellovelace]

Fair enough.
We can control our environments at least.
Well, to an extent, yeah?

[champlified]

We're on the edge of a nature/nurture debate. Are you prepared?

[lionellovelace]

I'd say I was born ready.
But the truth is I've been shaped to be ready.

[champlified]

Some might say you can't shape what isn't there to start with.

[lionellovelace]

Okay.
Nature provides the flour, yeast, and water.
Nurture kneads the dough and cooks it.

[champlified]

Okay.
But where did the recipe come from?

[lionellovelace]

Okay.
[...]
Do you want to go get some baked goods?

[champlified]

Gastrognome! Gastrognome!

[lionellovelace]

Perfect.
Just have to clean up then I'll be ready.

[zadielovelace]

[gold_digger]

Do you think someone did it on purpose?

It's such a shame for an instrument to get into such a condition, even if it's ultimately fine.

[lionellovelace]

I don't think so.
I can't imagine why at least.

I've always liked the photopiano.
Apparently it's been here since the 1950s.
Taken from an abandoned muggle theater.

[girlbeast]

Ain't my department.

[lionellovelace]

I can't make you.
It was just a request.
