TESTING

[con_affetto]

1. The Queen's Academy/Capitol of Opera -- Let's be honest, if not for the Academy, there wouldn't be much of a city around the government buildings. The campus is practically a city within the city, with wide-open seating areas exposed to the sky and full of buildings that are open and airy -- the sort of thing with great accoustics, let's be honest. There are gardens and covered walkways, and really, it's sort of your stereotypical idyllic city ... on the outside, at least. There are still alleyways and seedy corners; you just have to find them.

2. The Borderlands -- The barren wastelands that ring around the country of Opera. There's very little life out here, scraggly and struggling up through the rocks, unable to flourish without the care of dedicated Singers. Bandits and vagabonds live out here, as well as varying monsters, both fantastical and mundane. There's three major roads that cut through the Borderlands from Opera to the kingdoms beyond, but those are always being watched ...

3. BYOP -- make up your own setting, your own place! A secret hideout, in the royal palace itself, a smaller town or village inside the country, anything. It is ~all up to you~.

Not one for improv songs?

[seenthelight]

Not really. I have to practice them first! But once I know it, it's easy.

[appoggiatura]

That's good!

[seenthelight]

I bet you know a lot of songs, right miss?

[appoggiatura]

It's my job to! I know them and I help make them.

[seenthelight]

[!!!]

Please teach me some!

[appoggiatura]

Don't you have professors for that?

[seenthelight]

It's different! They just teach us generic ones.

[appoggiatura]

Mine are more specific... but they're very specific. They're for buildings and building materials. Is that okay?

[seenthelight]

It depends on what you make your buildings with.

[appoggiatura]

Everything? My speciality is stone and glass.

[seenthelight]

Ohhhhh, lucky! I'm really bad with stone. I'm trying to get better, but I've always been more in tune with plants. I'm trying to learn how to balance them.

[appoggiatura]

[FAUX HUFF]

Plants! I can do wood, but I still haven't gotten the hang of growing things.

[seenthelight]

I'm the opposite. I can grow a bunch of stuff, but the things that aren't alive I have the toughest time working with.

[appoggiatura]

Do you still want one of my songs? If we're opposites, it might be tricky for you.

[seenthelight]

Yes! I want to learn it no matter what!

[appoggiatura]

Okay! Let's see...~

Here, this one is for removing hard water stains from marble.

[seenthelight]

You use spells like that?

[taking it, curious]

[appoggiatura]

I work in architecture and construction.

[it's like a 5 minute operatic song]

[seenthelight]

It looks pretty good! Even I could pull it off like this.

[appoggiatura]

Thank you! I try to keep them at a level where we won't always need specialists for it.

[seenthelight]

But someone who's no good with earth would still have difficulty. Still, it's impressive! You don't see these kind of songs at school. Everyone's still learning.

[appoggiatura]

That kind of broadness would be too expensive for the client to commission. Some of these can be dangerous for beginners or people in the wrong element.

[seenthelight]

But of course! But I'm not like that, I know what I'm doing.

[appoggiatura]

We'll have to see! You can keep that copy if you want to practice with it.
