I don't mind at all. When I was in school, I used to think about trying to compose film scores, but...
[It feels like it's been a long time since she's actually put pencil to paper and written anything out. Not since she was trapped in the Academy for Gifted Juveniles for sure. School life before that is a little difficult to remember, but she doesn't spend much time on that. Instead, she's humming quietly to herself as she draws the lines, repeating the melody until she can start adding in the notes. Her foot taps gently against the ground to keep time as she adds a separate line, labeling one πΉπ²πͺπ·πΈ β€ and the other πΏπ²πΈπ΅π²π· :)
She pauses when it comes to the remix part, brow furrowing.]
Ummmm... I'm not sure how to notate that. The bum-schsh-schch.
Write 'em for vines, then, they're only like seven seconds long.
[picture it, Kaede. a sweeping crescendo, a musical piece of exquisite caliber, the sort that would instantly earn her a unanimous vote into Julliard, assuming she wasn't going there anyway, accompanying a seven-second video of someone eating a sandwich.]
[irony at its finest.]
[also, this all means that someone was kind enough to explain to old man Dave Strider what a vine is.]
You want me to notate it? Just point to where, don't wanna fuck up your work.
[She doesn't totally know what a vine is, but... there's a kind of challenge to writing a piece of music that touches the audience in such a short period of time. She could do it!!
She brightens when he offers to notate it, though, offering the pencil without hesitation.]
Oh, yes please! You can't mess it up. It would just make something even more unique!
[now we're talking β Dave is going to have to ask Ryuji to properly educate the both of them on the finer notes of composing the perfect vine with an ironically high production value.]
[well, in relation to the background music, anyway. when it comes to memes, he does not deal in ironically high production values.]
All right. [you asked for it, though, Kaede: he's not entirely sure what would count as a notation that's easy to remember, but wherever she points on the page? he's drawing what looks like a triangle that got dipped in something.]
[I mean being nicer than a Lalonde isn't really that hard in most cases.
Kaede hums uncertainly, but this is Dave's music! He'd know better than she would, though she supposes she'll have to figure out some way to explain to a casual learner what "nachos equal beat drops" means.]
You know, I don't think I've ever had nachos... musical or otherwise!
[She continues to write, sketching out more lines as needed to keep adding notes.]
I mean, I'd say to go try some, but the robot upstairs completely desecrated the definition of 'em. Don't really think anybody on this tree has a lot of cheese lying around either.
[Kaede pauses, tapping her pencil against the sheet contemplatively. No, she can't remember going anywhere that would have served something with dripping triangles!]
It's... what, cheese and chips? Bread?
[She's probably seen them on TV before but never really paid attention to the particulars.]
And yeah, it's cheese and chips. And beef sometimes. And fuckin' delicious.
[there's no wistfulness of a kid who probably hasn't had proper nachos in nearly four years in his tone. just the confident air of a kid who apparently knows what he's about.]
Thanks for notating this for me, by the way. Can you play it?
[She can hear the confidence! It's a good thing, really. She giggles at his description.]
Huh... I guess it does sound good!
[At the question, she pauses, looking over the sheet and tapping her pencil against her lips, making sure there's nothing she's forgotten.]
It's no problem. I can definitely play the piano part... it would take me a little more time to try to come up with a way to accompany just using a piano for two hands.
...Oh!!
[She points straight up toward the ceiling with her pencil.]
Kurusu-kun knows how to play the cello!! It wouldn't be the same thing, but I bet he could learn this.
[And he seems like the kind of boy she'll be able to bully.]

[the beat is now nachos.]

[When she said he couldn't mess it up, she was expecting him to try writing it out, or maybe even try to use music notes to render it.
Instead...]
Oh... wow. That is really unique!!

Ummm... dripping triangle means remix here, right?

Right, the nachos are where you're getting the beat drops. [god why.]

Don't really know much about Akira, though. Should probably fix that.
