Telepathic IC 'Inbox' and Messenger Bird Reception

[greatestdefective]

[Catch-all post for one-on-one messages that need to be delivered directly to Sherlock, either through the amulets or with a messenger bird. Meeting in person is also an option!]

Ah, I see your point. [His own notes take on a deliberately discordant sound as he shifts his grip on the neck.] I envy that, as electric guitars as we know them do not properly exist here.

[Sherlock shakes his head somewhat wistfully, the notes he's playing changing their tempo somewhat.]

In a place like this, it is best to let go of what one knew and learn all over again.

[guitarosecutor]

[A good philosophy, and at a time like this especially, Klavier wishes he could embrace it.]

A wise choice, but not one I can really make when I have an established library, ja?

[greatestdefective]

Libraries can become crowded, at times. When that is the case, a librarian must simply remove some of the older, less popular books.

[This analogy totally makes sense...]

[guitarosecutor]

A difficult thing when the librarian is also the author, and all the works are precious to him.

....Besides, I didn't have any less popular works, ja? Our albums always sold well.

[greatestdefective]

Albums? [It takes him a moment to decipher what Klavier means, then something clicks.] ...Ah! You sell collections of your own sheet music?

[guitarosecutor]

What? [Klavier spends enough time around people from his own place and time (more or less) that he needs a moment to remember others aren't so familiar with technology.] No, not the sheet music. Where I come from, we have ways to store music and play it back. So anyone can listen to our songs whenever they want if they buy those recordings, ja?

[greatestdefective]

[Hm? ...Oh! Hey, Sherlocks knows about that!]

Ahah! I see! You are referring to a music box and the discs that go with them, is that not so?

[guitarosecutor]

Ja. In part, anyways. Some of it doesn't exist physically at all. It's like thoughts in the crystals -- except if you could replay those thoughts any time you wish.

[greatestdefective]

[That's- what- now Sherlock's confused again. Well, he'll just pretend he gets it and brainstorm about it some more later.]

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Truly, mankind is capable of amazing feats! [He shifts his hold on his violin a bit, playing a merry, upbeat little tune.]

[guitarosecutor]

[Klavier ups the tempo to match, with a smile and an electric tingle in the air from the cores.] I think they have something a little similar down in Shaarnath, but it only works once.
