[video; you can't play this kind of piano :|]

As... delicious as this sudden change is, I don't suppose someone could tell me how I am supposed to play the piano when it currently looks like this.

[Austria moves the dreamberry so that people watching can get a good view of what was a normal piano. However, it happens to be made of peppermint bark, candy canes, milk and white chocolate, and things of that sort. The inside is the most infuriating to Austria, since, as the video now shows, instead of the strings and hammers that should be there? It's licorice and gumdrops. Needless to say, Austria is not amused.]

Though I don't deny that sweets--particularly those around only during this time of year--are nice to have every so often, [every so often for Austria being after dinner, after lunch, with coffee, etc. etc.] I would like it if my piano were still playable. I don't suppose anyone else has this same issue, do they?

[so much that he can't quite hide the amusement in his tone]

The piano in the chapel looks quite similar to yours.

[Fortunately, Austria is pretty bad at reading other people for the most part, and he's pretty preoccupied with BAW MY PIANO, so he really doesn't notice the amusement as much as he would otherwise.]

That is unfortunate. I had hoped there would be at least one piano in decent condition here somewhere.

As long as no one designs to eat any of them, I am under the understanding that this shall be over within the week.

I do have to wonder what would happen if they are eaten, though. [Because. He doesn't doubt some people here are rude/dumb enough to eat his piano. :|;]

[...] I do hope it wouldn't permanently damage the instrument.

As do I. If it does, I suppose it would be possible to purchase a new one when this place returns to normal. [Austria's frugality, of course, does not extend to music]

[of course not] It would be a shame to have such an instrument ruined. Admittedly, I almost have half a mind to find some way to lock the chapel until this is over.

That might be for the best. Do you have any ideas how you would go about doing that, though? I'm not sure if it's the case there, but the doors here are also made out of some sort of sweets.

Other than putting a candy-cane through the door and marking it 'closed,' I haven't the foggiest. It would store it in the cottage, but it's far to large to fit through the doorway there. I suppose I could stay in the chapel for now to try and keep close to it, but aside from that, it is the only thing I can think of.

Well, do you know how many people enter the chapel on a regular basis? If it isn't too many, I suppose the candy cane idea could work.

I spend a good amount of time in there, so I can say not many. Perhaps it will deter the adults...thought admittedly, it's the children I'm worried about.

Unless a large group of children were to come by, I doubt they would be able to eat their way through either a large candy cane or a door. [or unless it was Teuton, but he won't say that.]

That is true. I should probably ensure that there are not any doors that they could get in otherwise, as well...

Even if there are, it's unlikely there will be a shortage of candy canes any time soon.

Also true. I shall just have to check in on it daily.

Is it far from your place of residence? If it's difficult for you to make it there every day, I could check to make sure it's in one piece every so often.

No, it isn't far. I have ended up doing most of my work there, due to the convenience of having a piano there while I'm composing. I'm afraid the cottage I've taken up residence in isn't big enough to hold one. A harpsichord, perhaps, but they seem to be rarer in this place than a piano.

Yes, the harpsichord is rather outdated, as far as today's standards go. It's a shame, really, as the harpsichord is a fine instrument in its own right.

A shame, indeed, to see that it has fallen out of use. I rather enjoyed writing for it.

If there were new pieces of music composed specifically for Harpsichord, perhaps it might come back into style.

It is worth attempting. [he will be composing some Harpsichord stuff now] All I need is to find a harpsichord, I suppose.

I'm sure there are antique stores somewhere around here. There is a chance they might have a Harpsichord. I will help look for one, if you'd like.

If you are not otherwise occupied, I would appreciate the assistance. An antique store seems like it would be a good place to begin.

I will be able to find time, I assure you. When would you like to go?

My lesson with Miss Liddell ends at two tomorrow, if you are available.
