[When the video feed switches on, the camera situated near the floor. There is clearly a Pokemon filming this discreetly. A listener will be able to hear a piano being played; it's a slow, almost sad melody, but the player has clearly performed the piece countless times. However, said player is not yet in view, the camera-Pokemon choosing instead to pan around at the scenery. It's a somewhat musty, cluttered music shop from the looks of things. The owner is at the front counter listening, apparently having decided not to attend the festival. The camera finally turns towards the piano itself, revealing Envy as the musician. There are green earmuffs and a similar colored scarf around his neck, and under that one might catch a glint of gold chain. On the bench beside him lie a pair of black gloves, and some sort of colorful bauble is partially poking out of a coat pocket.]

[As for his expression, it's almost unreadable, although there's a look in his eyes that hints this music as something familiar and very old, although not dear. After a minute or two more, however, his fingers still. He's still looking right ahead at the blank place where a sheet of music would go, and an almost wry smirk briefly crosses his face before he mutters--]

Yeah, Leo. I can play something happy, if you want.

[The words don't so much sound as though he's lost it and has started talking to a voice in his head, but more like this is some sort of reliving of memory. He pauses to think for a moment, before starting into another song. As he plays this one, anyone still watching will catch sight of something very rare: Envy actually looks genuinely happy. No smirks or teasing grins, just a small smile. At the end of the song, the smile fades, and he closes the lid over the keys so that he can rest an elbow on it to prop up his chin. He looks a little frustrated with himself, a little wistful, and his next words are barely audible.]

Heh. Guess I really am pathetic sometimes.

[With the little concert over, the feed ends.]

Yeah, I'm probably going to be sticking around Goldenrod for a while, after all the trouble with getting here. And I missed being in a big city anyway. [He shrugs and grins smirkily.]

It's good to have familiar people around, isn't it? I'm stuck with just Greed now, but he can be good enough company sometimes. Talked with one of your servants a little earlier, too. Asmodeus of Lust?

I see. You know, I've never had the chance to visit a large city before. Most of the time I was trapped on this island.

[She shrugs her shoulders lightly.] It is. After all, it's better than being alone. As for myself, I have Lucifer with me and we're planning to meet up with a couple of others at Ecruteak sometime in the future.

[She chuckles.] Ah, her. She's the youngest of her sisters, so don't be surprised if she appears in over her head.

Oh? [Envy makes a mildly sympathetic expression about being stuck on the island. Definitely not something he'd like at all.] Well if we're ever in Goldenrod at the same time maybe I'll show you around. There's plenty to do in cities, and even if the people aren't as easy to fool as in little towns, it's a lot easier to get away from trouble.

Heh, she's definitely a lot different from the Lust I knew back home. She was second youngest, not even two decades, but her human self died when she was around thirty and we seem to keep that sort of maturity even as homunculi.

I would like that since this place seems to have elements of the future. Where I come from, technology has yet to reach this point. [The technology in Johto, including the gear, had been one of the many things that had impressed her when she first arrived.]

Your Lust certainly does sound more mature than Asmodeus. [She chuckles.] That girl is always in search of her "true love." Although, if she does find him then he won't last long. [Her lips curl upwards a little.] She tends to be a bit rough.

It hadn't in my world either, but my specialty is adapting to any situation. I believe I've gotten the hang of things fairly well these past months, and I've been all over this city. So it would be my pleasure. [He inclines his head briefly, then smirks at her when he brings it back up.]

[At what she says next though, he laughs.] Really. Well perhaps she'll find someone sturdy. It sounds amusing, anyway. The one I know talks about philosophy too much, but we get along alright.

Yes, I have also adapted well to Johto. There's still a few things that I don't understand about this place, but that will all be taken care of with time. [She returns the smirk.] My, you certainly do have your own charm.

[She chuckles darkly.] Back home she was always breaking Battler and she'd come to me so I could fix him. However, if she breaks her toys here, I won't be able to do anything. [Still a little cross about losing her powers, but she's gotten used to the idea by now.] I tend to get along with most of my servants, although I am weary of my butler, Ronove.
