((Route)) [029] Video/Action Goldenrod [China's Bday]

[gochuugoku]

[Today is October 10 and it is drizzling in Johto. China can be seen walking around Goldenrod, holding a red umbrella over his head. His Glaceon, Meimei, happily jumps into puddles as she follows her master. China looks into the various shop windows until something in the music shop catches his eye.]

Oh! They actually have one, aru!

[Video]

Hold the camera nice and steady, Meimei.

[China can be seen standing behind an interesting-looking instrument. He tests the strings first, before playing this song. Pay attention at how he's using his fingers. When he's finished he looks up at the gear, smiling gently.]

Today is my birthday, aru. Also, I first arrived in Johto on October ninth last year, a day before my birthday. [He sighs, but keeps smiling.] I have noticed that there are quite a few people who also have their birthdays in October, so consider the song I just played as my gift to you all, aru.

Thank you, Pinkie Pie!

Isn't it? I always enjoy playing the guzheng, aru.

[She's very tempted to make a comment about him sneezing, but tilts her head instead.]

Is that what it's called?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Yes. It is from China, so it's only natural that it be called by a Chinese name, aru.

Ooooooh. I've never seen anything quite like it!

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Really? What sort of instruments do they have in your world, then?

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

We have pianos and harps and cellos and accordians and trombones! And drums and lyres and violins and harmonicas! Does DJ equipment count as an instrument?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

We have those too, including DJ equipment, aru.

Someone taught me a few pieces on the piano before, but I feel more at home with Chinese instruments.

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Oooohhh, I wish my instruments were all here! Music isn't my special talent, but I can play some stuff!

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Who knows? Maybe you could find them in one of the music shops in Johto, aru. Speaking of, what sort of instruments can you play, Pinkie Pie?

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Oh, plenty of things! I'm pretty fond of the trombone!

[Oh gosh, who knows how well she could play things with fingers?]

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

And it was easy for you to play it with your hoofs?

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Of course!

[Don't... don't question it. It's really better not to. She wouldn't really have an explanation as to how anyway.]

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I cannot imagine what that would be like, aru. [In his opinion and because he's always had fingers, that's a great skill.]

For beings with fingers, playing an instrument is just as easy. You'll get used to it, I'm sure.

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I can't wait to try it out!

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

[He just chuckles.]

I guess I should stop spending all my money on baking stuff if I want to get an instrument...

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Oh? You bake?

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Of course! I do all the baking for my parties!

[Well... most of it.]

And I work in a bakery!
