So I was talking with a few people and I was wondering - what sort of music does everyone like listening to? I listened to a lot of pop music at home, since I was on a dance team, but I'm just curious as to what everyone else's musical tastes are like.

I'm also wondering something about Riolu evolutions. Mine hasn't evolved yet. I've heard that it's based on 'friendship', but how is that exactly counted? I think I've been pretty nice to mine, but I don't know how it's really counted. Am I missing something?

I've never owned a Riolu, so I don't know that I'll be particularly helpful there... As for your first question, though, I don't listen to it as much as I like to play it, but I've always been fond of the European classical composers. Beethoven and Chopin and Dvorak, Bach and Rachmaninov...the power of their compositions is alluring, and they've been there for me in my darker hours besides.

What instruments do you play?

And my brother was more fond of classical music, though I'm not sure if he really liked it so much as didn't mind it more than other music... or if he just thought he was supposed to like it.

Piano, primarily. I know some violin, but my servant took to it far more than I did; I also play pipe organ, when I can find one and feel like a challenge. I used to break into churches sometimes for the sake of teaching myself and practicing, actually.

I've never really understood how people can not like music, though. I suppose that's because it's always been such a large part of my life.

Well, it... fit with our family's image. His tastes seemed to change a lot since we were younger.

I don't play any instruments, myself. I tried piano and violin, but I've always been more of a fan of moving to music rather than creating it myself.

Perhaps I'd like to see it sometime, if you wouldn't mind. I mostly do ballroom, personally, but I'd be interested in seeing what it is you do yourself.

[grapeeater]

Oh. Sure. It's not really as impressive without a team, but it's still fun.

[preybeforemeals]

I'd like that, then.

I take it you've been well enough otherwise?

[grapeeater]

I have. I've been venturing out of town a little more. My Pokemon are starting to get restless without some real challenges to take on.

[preybeforemeals]

Are you considering spending time elsewhere, then?

[grapeeater]

Yes. I'm thinking of heading over towards the Ruins of Alph. They look interesting.

[preybeforemeals]

In that case, amore, let me know how it goes; I'm curious myself, but I don't know that I'll be going that way anytime soon.

I have a Rapidash that could use some more open space than just streets. I think she wants to stretch her legs a bit more. It shouldn't take long if I ride her.

As long as I don't fall off, I mean.
