2nd Trill [Video]

Hi, everyone!

I'm Hijiri Minase and I arrived here a short while ago. So I'm kind of looking for a place to live. [Because Tsuzuki's boyfriend is a meanie... ;;] I was wondering if anyone was looking for a roommate or housemate?

I promise to do my part of the chores! I can cook and clean. And I hope you don't mind violin music since I have to keep up with my practice! Of course, bonus points if you're a fellow musician!

Thanks!

The violin, you say?

[ He appreciates other violin players yes... ]

Yes. Do you play too?

Mostly for my master's pleasure however I've found it a rather worthwhile pastime. And how long have you played?

Your master?

How long...? Hmm... I'm not sure. I think since I was 6 or so?

The Earl Ciel Phantomhive. The city has kept us in residence for very nearly a year now, if I've recalled the time correctly.

[ Ah, humans... how you fascinate him so. ]

It would be an absolute honor to hear you play, if I may. Of course, were I able to acquire a violin of my own, I would be more than happy to repay the favor.

Eh? An Earl...? ... you've been here a whole year??

No problem! Do you have any requests? And maybe we could play together!

Quite close to a year, if I recall. In two months, I believe. And yes, an Earl. My master has held the title as the head of the house of Phantomhive. However, I must wonder if this is a curiosity for you. You'll come to see that not all of the city's residents come from the same time as you.

[ There's a small smile at that though. ]

There is a piece that does indeed hold my interest... I do wonder if you've heard of it? A Violin Sonata in G minor, made popular by a man named Tartini.

An year... I see. That's amazing! Not the same time?

You mean... the Devil's Trill?

Not quite as fascinating as frustrating, I assure you.

[ He isn't quite used to not being in charge of the situation but he's learned to just roll with it when it comes to the city. However, his voice takes on a different tone of satisfaction at the mention. ]

As they've come to call it by way of a rather intriguing rumor. It is, admittedly, a piece rather near and dear to me.

Frustrating? Is he a difficult person, your master?

[and he's immediately wary] ... near and dear to you...?

Not in the least. I'd meant frustrating in terms of the city and what it presents to us without warning.

[ Good thing you can't see his face then... ]

Difficult piece as it is, it does have its share of memories. A sense of nostalgia, if I may.

What... sort of things does this city do?

Memories and nostalgia...?

A piece from my earlier years, if I may.

[ But he's quick to brush it off. After all, any deeper and his true nature might end up being the topic of conversation. ]

I'm afraid this city has its share of surprises. Apart from having been brought here against our own will, it seems to have the ability to gain control over our minds, change our appearance, cause things to appear. Most have taken to calling these occurances as "curses".
