[Phone! For the first time, Mayfield, have an irritated-sounding Cynric.]

Mayfield, I know that you send people home all the time, but if I am to remain here, can the interesting ones at least stay with me? It's not often famous composers of opera roll into your life, and that you might be given the chance to be the lead of the opera he is composing.

[A pause.] But that's the way things go. Even outside of Mayfield. Being permanently droned is the closest we have to death, after all.

If anyone had been getting voice lessons from Mr. Salieri, I would be glad to offer in his place. I have centuries of practice and knowledge so I know you will find me to be a satisfactory instructor. My name is Cynric; feel free to contact me.

[With that, he hangs up. Not!family or visitors will find him sitting on the porch and pouting while stuffing his face with red licorice. Hephaestus, his dodo, is beside himself as he can tell there's something wrong with his master, but since they still can't communicate, he doesn't know what. He's flitting about trying to cheer Cynric up.]

Hmm, you'll probably like enka, it's the traditional Japanese music. ♪

Ah, that was one of the ones you mentioned, yes? I don't think I've ever heard it! Can you give me an example? [He will love enka so much.]

{He listens raptly, then applauds when Rin finishes.]

Ah, lovely, lovely! You're quite good. I've never heard that style before. And the music! How did you play that?

Ah, I didn't make the background music. It's programmed into this:

Interesting! You must be from the future then, eh? I come from 1901, we have nothing like this. Even Mayfield doesn't.

I figured. Either that, or another world entirely, which seems to be the case most of the time.

Ah, is it my turn then? Can you play music from other things on those machines, by chance?

Oh, sure! I'll listen to your song!

Hmmm... what do you have in mind? ♪ But you'd probably need a computer though...

Perhaps? Hard to say, isn't it.

Ah, that's alright then, I can do without it. Please excuse me thought, I'm not warmed up. I hope I'll do well!

[He closes his eyes a moment, thinking and getting his breathing in check. He then launches into Tamino's Aria (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKpoy4lBIjE) from Mozart's The Magic Flute. Mozart is his favorite, and he's well-practiced in it. And honestly, he's amazing. He really has been practicing for centuries.

Once he's done:]
Ah, so what do you think? How did I do?

[He grins smugly.] Thank you! I'd like to think so. Mozart has always been my favorite, after all.
