The Magic of Song

[saving_sound]

[Audio/Action for Sigyn]

[Whether by coincidence or not, the audio function on Hibiki's bracelet seems to have activated. Judging by the crinkling sounds indicating a paper bag or something similar pressed against the thing... it's probably the former.

Still, the voice of a young girl can be heard over the crackling, singing a rather cute song to herself.]

The big dumpling family
The big dumpling family

The mischievous roasted dumpling, the gentle bean jam dumpling
The moon viewing dumpling is a bit of a dreamer
The sesame dumpling always looks prim, the quadruplet spitted dumplings
Put all of them together to make a family of one hundred

The baby dumpling is always in the midst of happiness
The old dumpling narrows his eyes

The friendly dumplings all hold hands and create a big round ring
They laugh together while making towns on the dumpling star
The rabbits wave from the big moon in the sky
It takes all the happy and sad things and rounds them up...

[She suddenly trails off as she realizes what she's singing.]

...Huh? Where did I learn that...?

...Ohhh.

[Vyse shrugs and puts that book back, before beginning to rifle through the rest of his own pile.] I don't see it here either. You think it's a rare song?

[Action]

[saving_sound]

I'm not sure... I've been seeing a couple of songs in a lot of these books, but there aren't any signs of the Big Dumpling Family. So... maybe?

[Action] you didn't see that...

[unimpressive]

Hmm... That's gonna make it harder. [He takes a moment to examine their piles of books, before shrugging.] I don't know if there are any books for rare songs...

[Action] I was too blinded by your awesome to see anything

[saving_sound]

We couldn't be looking in the wrong section... could we?

[Sob why isn't it here.]

[Action] o-oh... :D

[unimpressive]

[He stops and turns to look at Hibiki, hands on his hips. Awww, man, he'd been hoping this would be easy...!] The wrong section? But if it isn't in the music section, where else could it be?

[Action] ;D

[saving_sound]

I...

I don't know...

[Action] c;

[unimpressive]

[...This is a problem.

He laughs, the sound almost embarrassed.]

I guess we don't really know where to look, huh?

[Action]

[saving_sound]

I... I guess we don't. I'm not even sure how we would figure that out. I was so sure it would be in the music section...

[Action]

[unimpressive]

A kids' section would probably have too many books to go through too, huh?

[Action]

[saving_sound]

P-probably...

[Sob.]

[Action]

[unimpressive]

Heh...

New plan?

[Action]

[saving_sound]

That might be for the best...

But what else can we do?

[Action]

[unimpressive]

[He crosses his arms, leaning against the nearest shelf.] Good question...

I don't suppose you know anyone who knows a lot about music?

[Action]

[saving_sound]

Umm... Not really. Do you?

[Action]

[unimpressive]

I... guess not. [Awww, come on, their plan was perfect!! ...Minus one vital flaw.]

[Action]

[saving_sound]

But thank you so much for helping me anyway! I'm sorry to drag you all the way out here for nothing...

[Action]

[unimpressive]

It's fine! Sorry we couldn't find anything.

[Action]

[saving_sound]

It's not your fault. I think I'll just sing it to myself a lot and try to memorize it. That way, if I do find somebody who knows about music, I can try asking them about it!

[Action]

[unimpressive]

That's the spirit! You will find someone who can really help you. You'll see!

[Action]

[saving_sound]

Heheh... I hope so! I'd love to know just what kind of a song it is!

[Too bad that person is going to have to explain "TV" to her, too.]

[Action]

[unimpressive]

[Welp, he can't help you there.]

Heh, me too! It's really different from other songs I've heard!

[Action]

[saving_sound]

If I ever find out, I'll make sure to tell you!

[Action]

[unimpressive]

I'll keep an eye out!
