Music Appreciation, Friday 1st period
//Right, so,// Jono said, glancing sidelong at the little snowy angel... things... and trying not to dwell on them too much. He and Hannibal had had the class gather at the causeway; today they had a portal to catch. //Not all music is the sort that you'll tune in to on the radio. Sometimes, it comes as accompaniment to stories, as we've shown you a few times now.//
Because really, musicals were too easy on days when they weren't feeling it. So sue them.
"Not all such accompaniment tells the story itself," Hannibal said. "It can also simply help to set a mood or create the sense of events without overtly describing them. Symphonies often do this."
//And one sort of music that's been becoming increasingly symphonic over the years? Video Game Soundtracks.// Jono sounded all too pleased that he'd managed to swing this, this week. Not just the topic, the tickets, too. //I won't deny I've played a video game or two, and listening to the music from those games dredges up memories, not just of the stories in those games, but where I was when I was playing them, who I was with.//
Plenty of afternoons in the Massachusetts Academy basement, where Emma had let him set up his own personal domain. Ange and Ev had spent a lot of time down there. It certainly hadn't been him leaving those pizza boxes around.
//We're going to the symphony today,// he said, hands going into his pockets. //A somewhat unconventional symphony.//
Hannibal smiled and shook his head. "This music will be new for me as well," except for the things he still heard Jono playing some days, "but I'm given to understand it can be quite evocative. These symphonies are highly rated, and I hope you enjoy it."
//Through the portal, class,// Jono said as it opened nearby. //We're going to take in Video Games Live.//
He was confident even the cynics in the room would enjoy this one.

Sign in!
Listen to the lecture!
Enjoy the symphony!
Behave yourselves. It may be an unconventional symphony, but it's still a symphony.
... A symphony that one of your teachers is basically going to be treating like a rock concert. Jono is going to take the host onstage at his word when he says to feel free to cheer and clap if the mood hits. He might also be sleeping on the sofa tonight.
Hannibal reserves the right to sigh at him, anyway.
Talk to the teachers
OOC!

Jono, on the other hand, was perhaps surprisingly in his element. Sure, people kept mistaking his wrappings for some sort of cosplay and asking what game he was from, but that sort of thing was to be expected, he supposed.
