> Knock properly on the door.
> Turn to sisters: "And no fighting!"

>You grab Lyrica's hand, and drag her into The Felt, as she squawks in surprise. She makes a cursory effort to fight back, but your are in excellent physical condition and stronger than she. She quickly gives up.
>You yank Lunasa from her meal, with her unable to protest due to having her mouth full.
>Dragging Lunasa and Lyrica with you, you find Merlin where you left her. Lacking a third hand, you just herd her toward the boss' office.
>Knocking on the door, you hear a polite, "Come in!"
>The Prismrivers nod dumbly in reply to your imperative against fighting.

[Rin Kagamine]

> Enter Boss' office, with Prismrivers in tow.
> "I'm sorry to interupt you again, but since you own this place, I assume you would be the one to talk to about employees?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Enter Boss' office, with Prismrivers in tow.
> "I'm sorry to interupt you again, but since you own this place, I assume you would be the one to talk to about employees?"

>You herd the Prismrivers into the office, and close the door behind them with your foot. The boss regards you quizzically from her spot at the desk, sending a single bubble from her pipe.
>You ask her about employees. "I guess," she says. "What's the problem? Did they start a fire, or try to bury treasure in the dance floor?"

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Neither of those.  Lunasa here mentioned that they could use a piano player on stage with them.  Lyrica here can play, but she isn't fond of playing jazz.  In fact, she'd rather use a synth and play techno-dance.  This got me thinking, why not combine them?  Would it be possible to let Lyrica run a Rave Night once a week, or have a Rave Set nightly?  It'd be something else that could set The Felt off from the other clubs in the underground.  In exchange though, Lyrica would also play some with the jazz band on piano.  I just thought of this a few seconds ago, so apologies for the rushed explanation, but I just had to pitch this as soon as I could."

>"That sounds pretty weird," says the boss. She twiddles the end of her false mustache. "She can set up tonight, we'll see how it works."
>The Prismrivers look between themselves, a chorus of "Huh?" and "Wha-?" being exchanged between them.

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Excuse me for a minute."
> Pull the Prismrivers aside.
> "Look, here's the thing.  When Patchouli put the three of you back together and told you to make nice, she really wanted you three to bury the hatchet.  Yeah, you may have your differences, but the three of you work exceptionally well together.  Hell, together you make the best damn music in Gensokyo.  And while it's great that Lunasa and Merlin have started playing together again, Lyrica's still missing.  Lyrica, you told me that you weren't fond of playing jazz, but did you ever tell them?"

>"Okay!" says the boss, as she picks up her crayon again and goes back to her prior task.
>You pull the Prismrivers aside, and lay out your case. "Uh," says Lyrica, "Pretty much what you just said."
>"Only with more mean words," says Merlin.
>Lyrica looks like she's about to say something, but she glances at you and decides otherwise.

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Well that's not the important part, at least you're talking.  Lunasa mentioned that she needs some inspiration.  Personally, I don't think any inspiration you manage to find without being a trio again will do a lick of good, but there's an over-arcing problem: that playing jazz and Oni party jams will probably not inspire any creativity amongst you three.  Lyrica's been doing her own playing outside of work, but have the two of you been playing just for fun lately?"
> "Personally to Lyrica, as you know this isn't the right venue for a Dance party, so don't expect to have a Rave Set past tonight, but you really need to go out there with Merlin and Lunasa and just play for the rest of the day.  Don't expect inspiration to strike while you're out there though, but you three should start getting back into playing together."
> "The sooner you can mend your differences, the sooner you can get out of Satori's and away from all those animals.  Is there anything else holding you back that I don't know about?"

[Kuma]

> You go, Rabbit-girl!

>You start to explain yourself, and ask if Merlin and Lunasa do their own music. "Me and Lunasa been doing some of our own music~" says Merlin, while Lunasa nods. "But I do spend a lot of time here."
>You address Lyrica. "Heh. I could get 'em into it. But yeah. I guess for today I can pretend I'm not an artist."
>"It's not that we're trying to mess things up," says Lunasa. "It's just, they like us here. It's, um, an obligation, kinda. You see, we just don't want to let them down."

> You go, Rabbit-girl!

>You're feeling mighty proud of yourself now, getting to the core of the problem.

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> "You don't want to let who down: the oni or the cats?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "You don't want to let who down: the oni or the cats?"

>"The fans," Lunasa says.
>"I like the kitties too," Merlin interjects.

>_

[Kuma]

> "We all like the kitties, Merlin. we all like the kitties."

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

> "We all like the kitties, Merlin. we all like the kitties."

> Look around then yell, "CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN??"

[Hello Purvis]

> "We all like the kitties, Merlin. we all like the kitties."

>Merlin grins at your solidarity.

> Look around then yell, "CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN??"

>You feel you are starting to let the topic drift away. Chen was helluva cute earlier, though.

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Well Lyrica, it's good that you're confident.  You three should also think about getting together and just playing sometimes, a lot of ideas can come from a good old-fashioned jam session.  In fact, once you get back together chances are there won't be just one genre you'll agree on; but you'll have to be flexible and play some things in order to play the things you do like.  Is that too much to ask?"

>"It's just-" Lunasa says.
>"That's kinda what started it," Lyrica interjects. "We didn't do just one thing, and we got our favorites and things we can't stand. So...uh..."
>"I'd wanna do jazz and Lyrica wouldn't and we'd argue." Says Merlin as Lyrica drifts off. "So we broke up. Then we could do what we wanted anytime...kinda."

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Hm.  Lunasa, what do you want to play?"
> "Lyrica, is techno the only thing you want to play?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Hm.  Lunasa, what do you want to play?"
> "Lyrica, is techno the only thing you want to play?"

>"I like classical," says Lunasa, smiling for a moment. "It's just, orchestras are hard to come by. So it's, um, limited."
>"I can do most, I guess," says Lyrica. "Just not jazz. But techno is the best!"

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Do you like the harpsichord?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Do you like the harpsichord?"

>"They're alright. Never tried a real one," says Lyrica. "But I got a setting that gets the sound right."
>"Kinda..." says Lunasa.

[Serela]

>"Hmm... I believe Kourindou had a song named Candid Friend that you might all enjoy to play. It would work with your instruments, I believe. I should try to obtain it and bring it here later to show you."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hmm... I believe Kourindou had a song named Candid Friend that you might all enjoy to play. It would work with your instruments, I believe. I should try to obtain it and bring it here later to show you."

>"Okay," says Merlin. "We can use the inspiration~"

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> Welp
> "Well, I don't have that song, so I'll have to get it and bring it by some time later today.  Until I get back, go up there and play together.  Why don't you start right after your break's over?  Go enjoy the rest of it."
> Once Prismrivers leave the office, approach the boss again.
> "If you don't mind, may I ask another question?"
