[The minute it seems to really sink in, he predicts a hug is likely coming. So by the time she's over around the equipment, he's pulled away from it, and easily wraps his arms around her in return.]
Hey, why are you acting so surprised? I said I'd steal a recording studio didn't I? I just made sure you could record more than just music for me is all, no big deal~
[You're welcome, is what he's saying.]
And seriously, record whatever you want. This is an official D.I.C.E. heist, we've got the time and the resources for it, so don't hold back!
[She squeezes him one more time before wiggling free and slipping her backpack off her shoulders. She has to dig through all her new leather clothing to get at her piano, but it's fine. She hardly even notices the clothes, already trying to think about what songs she wants to have on--]
Oh, can we record records?? Or CDs? Or is it just like, all digital? I never had to do anything other than show up to record music before, I've never really gotten to see the final product until it was ready to be released to the public!
Digital, CDs or both. Dunno how to make records or if we even can here, didn't have enough time to figure that out. Unfortunately I think two weeks is about as long as this stunt would have lasted.
[Surely they would have had questions when a paycheck didn't come in for him, and if they tried to hunt it down, they'd learn that he's not actually an employee. Everything would have been ruined then.]
But I'm sure we can figure out how to take digital tracks and get it put on records later if you want. I've already got a lot of connections with some pretty smart people, I'll figure it out if that's what you want, okay?
[He's not shy at all in telling her something like that. This day is all about Kaede, making her as happy as he can. After he seems satisfied with the equipment on his end, he stands up and moves over towards her. Not to do anything with her or her piano, but to grab one of the microphones lining the far wall. It takes him a minute to look over the ones gathered before he picks the one he knows is best suited for a piano, picking it up and bringing it over to his friend.]
You'll probably have to let me record a couple of samples first. I know how to work everything, but I uh...haven't actually done it yet, myself. I just shadowed some guys while they were doing it.
[She doesn't quite grasp just how much work this whole charade had taken, but it must have been a lot. And he's not even asking her for something stupid in exchange (yet?) so this must be a sincere offer. This would be a lot of trouble to go through just to turn any music she recorded into something weird.
With her piano set up and glimmering before her, she just has to drag one of the chairs over, fiddling with the height to make sure it's just right. Once she gets started, she's not planning to stop, after all.]
Maybe I should do a series of upbeat songs? And another one that's more relaxing. Maybe some romantic songs, too...?
Nishishi~ [Yeah, he knows it's incredible. You're welcome. Now that she's all set up, he starts fiddling with the height of the microphone, making sure it's elevated enough to catch the sound from her playing, but not so close as to blow the recording out either. And once that's done he's back over in his chair, looking everything over.]
Whatever you want, Akamatsu-chan. I won't police you or anything. Oh, but I do still have a list of my own, if you're still up for recording something for me too. Hey, play a couple notes for me so I can check the sound system.
[Said as he hits a few buttons on his end, slipping a pair of headphones over his ears.]
[She didn't think he'd remember that offer, nor would he actually take her up on it without prompting... it makes her smile a little fondly as she plays a few notes, looking back up at him to make sure it's coming through well enough.]

Give me your list, I'll start with those!
