Well, this is pretty nerve-wracking, but I finally uploaded some music I composed. It's just four songs, between college and everything happening in Retrospec, I've been, well, pretty busy this year. But I hope to compose more soon!

Anyway... you can listen to them here. Please enjoy them.

And in less good news ... I had a rather troubling conversation with a ghost...

According to him, our Earth isn't what it seems. Apparently, while Recolle's real and stable, the rest of the world is actually a recreation of other Earths. It was made to be a centralized hub for planets across the galaxy that were destroyed, and Recolle's essentially the capital. It was all formed and balanced from the soul energy being generated by this city and the people here, and it's not exactly stable.

Good news, all the people outside of Recolle in this world are real, so it's not like our lives were fake. But bad news, if anything should happen to Recolle, the rest of the world would disintegrate. So...no pressure?

Oh, and has anyone heard anything about a river of souls beneath Recolle? A friend heard about it from another ghost, but we don't know much.

Sorry for all the troubling news. This isn't how I expected this post to go.

Well, I'm always itching to hear more covers of Nyan Cat to add to my neverending playlist of Nyan songs.

[fiddlestick]

Nyan Cat?

Wait, you'd pay for an actual commission for a cover of Nyan cat?

[Elliot that's a stupid question, this is the boy that keeps paying to get himself poisoned by your coffee. Of course he'd do something like this]

[tarotcards]

Of course I would. Why wouldn't I?

[ elliot, you've seen him spend his hard-earned money on stupider things. a cover of nyan cat isn't that bad ]

[fiddlestick]

...Right. Stupid question.

Does it have to have lyrics or can it be instrumental?

[tarotcards]

Surprise me :)

And let me know your price.

[fiddlestick]

Okay...

That depends. How long do you want it to play?

[tarotcards]

24 hours.

because nyan cat is a life or death matter

[fiddlestick]

24...?

Okay, since I physically can't play that long, how about 1 hour edited to repeat 24 times?

i'm so glad that you understand, yuff. you and souji are on the same wavelength

[tarotcards]

Anything is possible if you just believe, Elliot.

idk how to feel about that.

[fiddlestick]

[...]

Well, in that case...

I usually charge $1 to play a cover song. But those are 1-2 minutes max, so I'll round it to $2 per minute/$30 an hour, plus an extra 8 hours paid time for the editing and processing all those recordings. So that'd be...

$960 in total.

[ Hello ]

That is far too cheap for putting yourself and us through such torture.

[fiddlestick]

Oh...

Then what would you suggest Yusuke?

[fabrefactions]

[ Immediate response. ]

$9,600,000.

[fiddlestick]

Okay, I thiiink that's a little steep.

[fabrefactions]

No. It is not.

[ HE'S BEEN HERE BEFORE, ELLIOT. EXCEPT IT WAS BODY PILLOWS. ]

[fiddlestick]

Don't worry, I'll make sure not to disturb you guys with it. I can do recordings at school or when you're not home, and edit with my headphones on.

[tarotcards]

This is none of your business, Yusuke.

[fabrefactions]

It is when you are once again tormenting artists with your cat needs.

[tarotcards]

It's not tormenting when they agree to do it.

you should clearly feel good about this

[tarotcards]

Do you take payment plans?

[fiddlestick]

Half up front, half on delivery?

[tarotcards]

You got yourself a deal.

[ you know what, it's a lot of money but souji will just think of this as a good way to support a friend. also he is kind of bluffing right now. if elliot takes his bluff then so be it, he'll be out of some money ]

[fiddlestick]

Really?

Well...okay! Just don't go broke from it.

[Are you kidding souji he is a young and hungry musician, he'll take any gig]

[tarotcards]

You know me. I can eat anything and survive.

Going broke and being forced to eat out of a trash can is nothing.

[ THEN SO BE IT. at least souji's money is going somewhere nice ]

[fiddlestick]

That's exactly what I'm worried about you doing, Souji.
