Hmm, for a Cello, you put up quite the intelligent conversation chap. Perhaps we could have some tea and crumpets later, or whatever you need. Anyhow, how is it exactly did you gain sentience? I understand that Vinyl Scratch is somehow involved, so I am assuming a spell must have "accidentally" enchanted you. Also, what are your opinions on other instruments, like guitars and flutes for instance? Personally, I play the six hole recorder or tin whistle, and soon violin.
Well, I appreciate your kind words. I also appreciate your offer, but as I have no digestive tract I would be unable to join you in consumption. As much as I would love to offer you a complete and detailed explanation of exactly what happened, I am not sure myself. I know that it involves Miss Vinyl Scratch, an ill conceived joke, and a come to life spell gone wrong. Beyond that I know nothing. Most instruments are inanimate, so on a personal level it is impossible to develop any opinion, but if what you meant is the sounds they create I cannot show favor or disdain to any of them, as a pleasant sound versus a poor sound is dependent on the musician, not the instrument itself.
….I have no mouth or digestive tract, but perhaps Octavia would appreciate the offer
Have you performed with anyone besides Octavia?
No, in fact I have not. Octavia does not loan me out, though I do not know if anyone has asked. Not to mention that while I have sentience and can type, I have nothing that would function to provide me with locomotion, so I cannot just go out and do things on my own.
Leaving for my flight
Sorry have to leave town for my job again, though this time I can give warning, Ill be back asap (A few days hopefully)
So, what do you enjoy doing for relaxation or entertainment?
Well, I find the world very intriguing. When Miss Octavia and I are not performing or practicing I enjoy using her ponynet to look up information about the world outside. Also, on occasion I’ll play a few songs or tune myself to save Miss Octaivia the trouble, though she will usually tune me again before performing anyway… But as the ponies say, “its the thought that counts”, correct? that applies to enchanted objects too, yes?
Do you have any plans to amass an army of sentient musical instruments to conquer Equestria?
….Goodness no!
Why would I do such a thing? Not to mention that I am sentient thanks to Miss Viny’s magic, I have none of my own to enchant any other instruments. So even if I had such dreams of grandeur, I would need to conscript a unicorn to carry it out. I doubt any pony would assist me in a campaign to subjugate him or her.
Cello, did you know how much of a pervert Octavia secretly was? And if so, why didn't you warn us? One of us totally could have tapped that before her snap the other day.
Ummm…. I’m sorry, I’m afraid I am unaware of what you are referring to. Miss Octaivia does not take me everywhere with her so I am unaware of much of what she does when she is not around me. I would be rather surprised, however, if she was promiscuous, but then again there are many things about all you ponies that make little sense to me…
What do you think of Octavia and Vinyl?
They are quite an amusing pair. Miss Octavia is my owner, she takes very good care of me and she is quite skilled and very calm and gentle. I would assume, since I have nothing to compare to, that I am ‘lucky’ to have such an owner, but aside from that I am very happy with her.
Miss Vinyl is practically Miss Octaivia’s opposite, she is rather active and loud, though I do have to give her the fact that she has a quick wit and is a rather good friend to Miss Octaivia. As well I owe her my sentience… so I cannot fathom any reason I would think anything negative of either of them.
I don’t per-say…. speak
a lack of lungs, vocal cords, lips and anything in regards to flesh makes it rather impossible. I do, however, have the ability to move my bow like a limb, which makes it possible for me to type.
