[Jhin seems to have a better understanding of the functions of the communicator and its general purpose. He looks into the camera, unlike last time when he talks there's no augment to his voice. He's maskless today.]

A simple question for you all. What are the good operas in this world, and are some still possible to see? It's been so long since I've seen, even heard, a good opera.

[Better with the tech, still not the best at using it to find exactly what he wants.]

Certainly this world cannot be so drab as to not have any. There's such a lack of theater here, it's terribly disappointing.

Well, opera itself is seen as rather old fashioned these days, but there are opera houses in many major cities- Nonah has a nice one- I believe they're performing one called- Le Comte Ory. But people here are generally more interested in cinemas than theatres.

And you can find recordings of operas- just sound, and with pictures- at some libraries and record stores.

[OOC: And since it's relevant, have a clip of the opera Sabriel mentioned]

Oh, it has its charms. Unlike the ones in my world, these have color and sound.

There's some skill involved- the films here are far more... flashy.

You know, I've wondered the very same thing! There is a dreadful lack of live theatre in this realm, isn't there? Everyone keeps going on about these "movies" they have instead.

I'm sure they're not without their merits, of course, but nothing quite compares to a live performance. [Has she even actually seen a movie? Nope.] I meant to look into this some time ago, before I got sidetracked by all this war nonsense, so I suppose I must thank you for reminding me!

Yes, it's always a delight to meet a kindred spirit! If I find anything particularly good I shall be certain to let you know, but you must promise you'll do the same for me!

--Oh, but where are my manners? I know these devices show our names to everyone, but introductions are still in order. I am L'Arachel, Princess of the sacred realm of Rausten, and it is indeed a pleasure!

Splendid, then it's agreed! I shall keep my eyes peeled!

Why do you want to watch an opera? They seem rather boring.

[Though the last one he saw was called Squid Lake so]

Dull. Some are colorful, but they go on forever.

What are the ones you've seen about?

[He still bets they're boring.]
