[musicalplum]

W-What? Why, this one!

[he smacks the board, and his..."masterpiece"]

Are you saying it does not draw the eye in with its glittering color?

[trademark_skull]

[Stares at for a moment...]

[.....]

Not really.

[musicalplum]

Surely you jest! It took me so long to so effectively convey the nightingale's glorious golden glow!

[trademark_skull]

But it's just a picture?

[Not a very good one. But going to digress that.]

[musicalplum]

Of course it is!

I didn't have the material to make a statue, after all!

[trademark_skull]

...Why would you make a statue of it?

[musicalplum]

The impact of the Golden Nightingale's beauty would be greater in a 3-D format, of course.

[trademark_skull]

Uh.... Alright then.

[Tries to play along then?]

[musicalplum]

Regardless! [back to looming over Emi]

Have you seen it?

[trademark_skull]

[Will you stop that already ;;]

N..no, I haven't.

[musicalplum]

...oh.

[defeated, he slumps into a hunched position on the floor]

[trademark_skull]

[Geez, don't try to make him feel sorry or anything.]

I-it's probably not even here.... Why is it so important?

[musicalplum]

[he looks up from his knees, despondent, but then he shoots back up to his feet, right back to being energetic]

I had spent years tracking down the summoning scroll for the Golden Nightingale! It was my dream, and at last, I found it...and with a past love, I was able to unlock the scroll!

[he folds his arms, scowling]

But now I'm here, and the nightingale is nowhere to be found!

[trademark_skull]

Can't you just...summon it again?

[musicalplum]

No! Once the Golden Nightingale has been summoned, it cannot be summoned again unless it has been un-summoned!

[trademark_skull]

O-oh....

[Well, then.]

Well I still doubt it would be here.

[Gold bird doesn't really fit the whole Netherworld theme anyway.]
