Moooaaar Dimitri's!!!

[aspiringtime.livejournal.com]

[A very young, in his teens Dimitri Allen is walking and reading, even though that can be a dangerous past time. He hasn't even noticed he's not in his new school, trying to walk to the library, he's stuck in the dressing room.

Go break his sense of safety that school provides. He's cute.]

Yeah, I do. It's actually really easy when you figure it out.

[He gives a smile.]

Want to learn something new?

[smashtheclock]

Uh-huh!

And then... maybe I could teach you something, in return! I mean... the other me taught me things and he said that not many people learn them, so...

[Those things may or may not have been how to use a knife as a weapon. Spoilers: they were.]

[aspiringtime.livejournal.com]

Okay, that sounds like a fair trade.

[Dimitri opens the book to one of the first pages, showing a musical score sheet.]

Do you know the major scale? Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do?

[He gives the hand signs of all the notes as he mentions the scal.]

[smashtheclock]

Um... sort of, yeah!

[Watching attentively! Clive is good at learning things... uwu If only he'd stop hanging around his double from a Monocleverse, given that.]

[Poor impressionable Clive...]

Right well, see this little squiggly thing on the beginning of this paper? That's a trebel clef. It determines the key signature.[he takes a pencil out of his ear and draws a note on the paper.] That means this is the starter "do". Do you understand?

[smashtheclock]

[Also poor anyone who does anything that freaks him out even marginally, probably.]

Um... yeah, that makes sense!

[Dimitri puts a note a step above.]

Then what would you call this note?

[smashtheclock]

Well... "re", I guess?

[aspiringtime.livejournal.com]

Exactly. How about this one?

[He puts another note a step up.]

[smashtheclock]

[That gets Dimitri a... slightly withering look. He's not quite perfected it, yet (though he's picking it up fast from his double), but he'll give it anyway.]

Well, "mi". Obviously.

[aspiringtime.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Now....

[Dimitri puts notes in a different but still readable order.]

Could you recite that for me?

[This gives Dimitri a smile. Maybe he should be a teacher.Could he? He'd been doing a lot of thinking these past couple of years, and he'd come up with many different ideas of what to do with his life. He hadn't been sure of any of them though.]
