 Soooooo!

[Steven's face pops up on camera, cheerful as always. It's hard to tell where he is, as his face takes up most of the screen, but wherever he is he certainly seems excited. Clearly Steven has something very important that he'd like to say!]

Does anyone wanna start a band?

A band is about spirit! Passion! Instruments can wait! [That's...not how it works, but alright.

Although that acapella thing sounds pretty cool too...]

You can have aaaaaall the instruments you want, but without heart, it's just noise! Really, really bad noise.

[soundmind]

[It's definitely not how it works, in all the technicalities. But he's so darned enthusiastic about it, she can't help but giggle.

It's cute, all right.]

You sound like my friend Soul. He's all about the music's heart, too, and he's given me plenty of lectures about it.

[Mostly via jazz, which is not a genre Maka is into, so it didn't work out.]

Too bad he's not here, he's a great pianist.

[cookiecats]

He sounds great! Maybe he'll show up someday.

[Steven isn't sure he knows any pianists!]

I'd like to meet him if he did!

[soundmind]

[Maka's smile falters for a moment, expression dropping into one of remembering something very sad suddenly. The truth of the matter is, she hasn't seen Soul since she arrived in the Pokemon world, and that's been two years.

But she can't tell Steven that, so she just forces the smile back and nods.]

I'd make sure of it, but I'll warn you right now, he has a penchant for teasing people that like books. It's practically a hobby for him.

[Steven looks ABSOLUTELY OFFENDED.] Whaaaaaaat?? But books are so cool and exciting!

[soundmind]

Yes of course, but he's boring and hates fun.
