[F24 | R2 - Performer] A Familiar Tune | Open

[Acanthus 0]

Just off the main square of Scalabis, there is A Familiar Tune. It is a bright, cheery studio with an expansive interior. Featuring sound-proof practice rooms and recording crystals, A Familiar Tune offers an atmosphere that caters to both frontline veterans and tourists alike. The large showroom floor offers a variety of vanity recording crystals—all currently public domain classical works. In addition to the recordings, there are enough instruments to equip a small symphony. Violins, trumpets, clarinets are strategically scattered about the shop to encourage visitors to pick them up and try them out.

A Plaque hangs near the entrance of the shop. It reads:

La Quinta Orchestra Rank 5

A large phonograph specially fitted for recording crystals warbles gently in the background. It is currently playing II. Andantino in modo di canzona from Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony.

Spoiler Previous Records: Romance for Viola and Orchestra, Op. 85 III. Poco allegretto from Brahm's 3rd Symphony Pelléas et Mélisande, Op. 80: IV. Sicilienne Violin Sonata in G Minor. I. Prelude (arr. solo Viola) II. Andantino in modo di canzona from Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony

Acanthus bows as you enter the store. "Thank you for stopping by. I'm afraid I'm still learning, so my selection is limited. Please keep checking in—I will have plenty to offer in the future."

[Oz 0]

Twang.

The unflattering sound of a cello string being plucked as Oz meanders through the shop. Quite the impressive outfit, for something that sprang up out of nowhere. Once Oz had caught wind of a new Performer on the twenty-fourth floor, he thought it prudent to take a look. But it turned out there wasn't much here yet - at least not in the way of merchandise. Still, the general atmosphere and wide array of eclectic instruments made for quite the site.

There was, however, at least one item that had caught his eye. He was almost surprised it sat there, available amid the rest of the goods. Something he'd been keeping an eye out for, but as of yet hadn't managed to find. The Familiar Sight was an invaluable tool for anyone eyeing getting a familiar of their own, and Oz was just about at the juncture where it was becoming more relevant than ever. A bit pricier than he would have liked, but he had the coin, and it seemed the newcomer needed it.

"I'll take this one," he said, pointing to the crystal with a limp wrist.

Oz acquires:

Entrance of the Dragons | TIERLESS PERFECT SUPPORT SONG | FAMILIAR SIGHT [ID: 226489]
An exciting melody featuring bagpipes and trumpets. Its march-like quality appeals to bold familiars.

[Pinball 1]

It was almost closing time when he slipped into the shop. It was raining outside, and the streets were quiet. He pulled down his hood when he entered. He was quiet, but he was always quiet. Pinball inspected the shop for a moment before his eyes settled on a particular crystal lining the shelves. He lifted it to the light, inspecting it. Then he'd turn to Acanthus. 

"I'll take this." He'd set it on the counter as he opened up his menu for the transfer. Pinball would load up the purchase with way more materials... and a custom order form for fifteen of the same item. A little outrageous? Maybe. He'd offer an apologetic nod. "Only if you're able. At your own pace, of course." If Acanthus would accept, he'd send the trade through. She'd have enough materials to last her awhile -- and hopefully enough to finish his order. "If you need more, shoot me a message. I'll swing by another day with some Ambition consumables when I get the chance." 

Pinball headed for the door. "Let me know if something comes up."

She tried to look calm when she read the order. "Of course. I'll have this done as soon as possible. I'll leave your pickup order by the front counter under your name." Internally, she panicked. That was a lot of songs to churn out. Resolved to make a name for her crafting, she disappeared upstairs to compose.
