[It's that time again, you uncultured swine lol I made a pun. Ganondorf is here to play the piano for you and introduce some culture in your clearly uncivilized lives. Enjoy it or die.]

[Okay admittedly he's pretty tired today, so he was just about to get ready for bed when he sees this, which explains why he doesn't actually look at the user ID. That... that is really creepy, ngl, but he can appreciate music of any type regardless.]

you're really good at the piano!

[Just because Link hasn't taken the initiative to note who he is talking to, doesn't mean Ganondorf shares his negligence.]

So I am aware.

[For one small minute he is HORRIBLY BEWILDERED.

And then he is just horribly appalled.

He should NEVER BE ALLOWED on the network when he is tired!! Afjslfhsg WHAT DOES HE SAY OH WHY DOES HE DO THIS TO HIMSELF!!!

Okay. Okay, he can work this out. He can be civilized, right? Better yet, let's pretend he knew all along who he was talking to. Yeah.]

did you teach yourself?

[...

Is he really making small talk with Ganondorf? he needs a minute to process this.]

It was apart of my studies during my youth.

[Ganondorf chuckles. Has the boy figured it out yet?]

[Vincent listens, eyes closed, until the song finishes. His voice is just a note lighter than usual when he responds.]

That was lovely.

[Lovely isn't the word, but he can't think of another one.]

You're very skilled.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[Ganondorf notes the user id before he responds. It's one he doesn't recognize. Hm.]

Then it seems we share similar tastes in music.

[Hope Vincent isn't expecting a thank you. Praise is Ganondorf's due. No thanks is necessary.]

[notwhatiwas.livejournal.com]

It's been some time since I heard music so well-played. The composition itself seemed designed to unsettle, but anything can be lovely if it's played with proper skill.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

I was not taught with a piano. The organ is where my true skill lies.

I must ask your name.

[notwhatiwas.livejournal.com]

Vincent Valentine. You?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Ganondorf. Are you new?

[notwhatiwas.livejournal.com]

[Why does everyone keep asking that?]

Not particularly.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[In Ganondorf's defense he ignores 99.9% of everything said on the comms.]

I see. A belated welcome then.

[notwhatiwas.livejournal.com]

[Not like Vincent's really that vocal over the network, either...]

Thank you.

[Continue the conversation or not? Hmmm.]

How long have you been on the ship?

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

...

A piano. I...must ask, where did you find it?

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

Lovely.

[missmimmi]

That was... rather nice.

[Voice]

[littlelegend.livejournal.com]

That's scary...

Can you play something happy?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

September will mark one year. And you?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

It was brought to me by one of the ship's former passengers.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Very glad you think so, Princess.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[Notes the userid. Another person he's probably never spoken to. Or ignored completely.]

Your appreciation is noted.

[Voice]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

No.

[Who is this guy?]

I do not play for your personal enjoyment.

[Voice]

[littlelegend.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[Pause.]

...will you play something happy later 'cause you want to?

[Wait, so learning how to ominously play the piano is part of studying to become an evil conqueror? He had no idea that was a required skill...

Oh will you stop chuckling like that, Ganondorf, seriously. You aren't helping the not freaking out thing, you know. Anyways WHAT DOES HE SAY NOW? Normally he would say "oh that's nice" but that's hardly appropriate right about now. HE'S CONFUSING HIMSELF.]

so I can assume you haven't gotten into trouble again?

[Despite how it sounds, that's not intended to mock you at all, Ganondorf. Link may have a lot against the guy, but he still can't bring himself to malevolently wish harm on somebody... at least, not a Ganondorf that hasn't done anything bad yet from what he can tell.

Plus, Link just wants to make sure he haven't been up to anything.]

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see.

[Damn. That meant it's his, and not free to use.]

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

You know I can appreciate the arts.
