:Toskani: Everybody ready? Alright, Blite, you're up first...
:Toskani: Hmm, not bad, not bad... That's it, then. Wonderful! ... Er, no no no! Storsen, what are you doing? It's not time for the crescendo yet!
:Toskani: Ack, Lorraine! Why are you making that noise again? Please, pay attention to my conducting! ... *sigh* Enough, forget about it. That's all for today! We'll rehearse again another day.
:This haughty conductor seems to be talking to himself... What a weirdo.
: Are you talking to yourself?
::Toskani: ...Talking to myself? No no no, I was just... rehearsing with my family members.
: Can one person rehearse alone?
::Toskani: Alone? Haha, no no no... I was rehearsing together with my family members.
: I didn't expect to find stand-up comedy in the Grand Theater.
::Toskani: Stand-up comedy? No, this is just a piece for the Charmony Festival. Not like that, er... less serious form of art.
:Toskani: And you, friend? As I understand it, the Grand Theater doesn't just let in any ordinary tourists for a visit these days.
: I'm (Trailblazer).
::Toskani: (Trailblazer)? Don't tell me you're the one with the Astral Express...
: I'm part of the Astral Express's crew.
::Toskani: Ah, the Astral Express...
: I'm a raccoon.
::Toskani: You're a... what? Raccoon?
::Toskani: Oh! I get it. You mean the main hero from the The Legend of Galactic Baseballer. Judging by how you're all dressed up...
:Toskani: ...Excuse me. I've heard about your deeds. Thank you for bringing me one step closer to center stage at the Charmony Festival.

:Toskani: If we continue down the old path and keep doing all that traditional music, we'll never be able to make it!

:This here is my favorite local snack here in Penacony, the kind of treat I only splash out for once a week — just a little token of thanks for you!
:Toskani: The Great One blesses me! Everyone knows how kind-hearted the crew is, and now I get to witness it myself.
:Toskani: Friends, are you all happy too? We'll soon be center-stage at the Charmony Festival!

: May I please ask you a few questions?
::Toskani: Certainly! You are all benefactors of mine.
:: When exactly did I become your benefactor?
:::Toskani: Haha, of course it's when you sorted out the original Chordmaster for the Charmony Festival.
:::Toskani: You know better than I do as to what happened. The Iris Family is now auditioning for another Chordmaster... and despite them all thinking Miss Robin is ready to make a return to the stage, I beg to differ.
:::Toskani: The only one who can mount the stage at the Charmony Festival is me — the Great One has visited me in my dreams more than once to tell me that sooner or later I am going to be a Chordmaster beloved by the masses...
:::Toskani: ...And now it's time — I won't have to moonlight in secret anymore at the piano shop. After this, I'm going to climb to the pinnacle of success!
:: Can you tell me about the Charmony Festival?
:::Toskani: The Charmony Festival? You can just think of it as a kind of "prayer" ceremony for us.
:::Toskani: The Family holds similar ceremonies of differing sizes every now and then across the various branches spread throughout the Cosmos. As far as I know, Penacony's Charmony Festival is the most prestigious of The Family's, and so it's only staged once every Amber Era.
:::Toskani: During the Charmony Festival, we pray for a common dream and for a common vision. Brought together under the same ideals, the "Harmony of Praise" will arrive, answering our prayers and granting supreme bliss...
:::Toskani: ..Of course, that's just how it usually happens. If it's Aelenev, the Eternal Centurion, who answers the call, then someone is going to get punished.
:::Toskani: He only shows up for The Family's wars, uniting them into a cohesive force — and everyone he destroys ends up getting assimilated, becoming one of us. In many ways, it's a good thing, haha.
:: What's the deal with your little imaginary family members, then?
:::Toskani: Imaginary family? That's offensive to Blite, Storsen, and Lorraine, who all volunteered to give up their bodies — they're all indispensable family members of the Toskani Orchestra!
::: They volunteered to give up their own bodies?
::::Toskani: Hey, don't look so distraught. It's not as bad as you think.
::::Toskani: "Voluntary body abandonment" is a special privilege that scale degree VII Family members can only dream of. When they first enter The Family, they can sense the emotions and hear the vague guidance of other Family members, but it's all just superficial.
::::Toskani: Only after the first do we get the chance to merge with the other Family voices... and not just anyone gets to merge — only those selected Family members are able to enjoy this privilege.
::::Toskani: So then, do you get it? What I mean is... despite every note being created with equal importance by the Great One, in actual fact some notes are more important than others... I'm saying, some of them are more Harmonious, haha.
::: Toskani Orchestra?
::::Toskani: That's right. I'm Toskani — and I'm the conductor of this orchestra.
::::Toskani: We have 72 members in our orchestra, including me. Blite sits as our first violin, Storsen is our first oboe, and Lorraine is our harpist.
::::Toskani: We are basically Family members of who can communicate with each other using "resonance" to transfer information and understand clearly the calls of The Family voices. And to show better solidarity with one another... we decided to unite as one.
::: Alright. That's enough for me.
::::Toskani: Oh, you're welcome! Promoting The Family's harmony to others is my mission, so ask away about anything you'd like.
:: Let's end the chat here, then.
:::Toskani: Oh, is that so? Fine, but if you have any other questions, I'm available any time to help.
: That's all. Bye-bye.
::Toskani: Goodbye, o patron! I have to focus on getting ready too for... er, the Charmony Festival.

:::Toskani: Mmm... well, today's rehearsal went great. Remember this feeling, my Family, and bring it with you onto the stage.
:::Toskani: Now let's take a breather. Oh yeah — Blite, remember to get your piano checked. That last line was a little out of tune.
:::Toskani: It's cool. No big deal. The audience won't be able to tell... But you're an artist, so you shouldn't be letting down your instrument and your work.

::::Toskani: Listen up, friends! Remember our dream? We're going to rock a melody on the Charmony Festival stage that'll make the whole world sing!
::::Toskani: We can't keep going on like this! You only get one shot, and we have to use our style and our talent to rock that fusty old classical Iris Family a rockin' good shock!
::::Toskani: Think of Emerald-III, and think of all our top picks! Think of David, think of Daeve, think of Sid, and think of Bonham!
::::Toskani: Were they scared when they faced down the superstar? No — so neither should we! The Iris Family judges can't destroy an entire star system... They're small fry.
::::Toskani: Let's show them the power of modern orchestral rock and prove the worth of Cheap Salvation! Let's get rock and rollin' — everybody sing along with me now...

::::Toskani: Hey, it's the savior of the Toskani Orchestra! We meet again. We're knee-deep in rehearsals — auditions are coming up, and there's no way we're going to let you down!
::::Toskani: Do you know that if you hadn't stepped in to help with the Charmony Festival, Family members like us with only would have no hope of making it on stage?
::::Toskani: I've chatted this over with the orchestra, and feel like we have to repay you no matter what happens. But unfortunately, we're only a small group of amateurs, so we couldn't get you anything expensive...

:::Toskani: *sigh*... Despite all the mess with this year's Charmony Festival, such a grand ceremony as that should make no space for small fries like us at scale degree VI, right?
:::Toskani: Miss Robin, do you know that cosmic superstar over there? I heard she's a scale degree V Family member... that may only be one step above us, but she may as well have come from a completely different world.
:::Toskani: On a musical stave, the distance between the first and the fifth lines is no more than a finger's width at most. But in real life — even if we lived out a few more lives — it still wouldn't be enough to contain the gaps between the notes.
:::Toskani: To be honest, most of us in the orchestra have started to lose faith... But how can we pivot? We aren't sure.
