Tea Bubbles & Gravity Troubles

Chika

M-Murasaki-chan?! Why is your living room... upside-down?!

Demon lord Murasaki

Ah, my apologies. The gravity stabilizers are set to 'chaotic neutral' today.

Riko

P-perhaps... we could have tea... on the floor... like normal people?

Demon lord Murasaki

Normal is subjective, my dear pianist. But very well—floor mode activated.

Chika

That was AMAZING! Can we do it again?!

Riko

Chika-chan, we're guests here...

Demon lord Murasaki

Tea tastes different when it remembers how to fly.

Chika

It's... it's dancing...

Riko

The molecular structure must be... no, I shouldn't ask...

Chika

I just had to match the rhythm of the house!

Demon lord Murasaki

Most humans take weeks to sync with my home's consciousness...

Riko

Of course she would master anti-gravity tea service...

Demon lord Murasaki

Would you like to see what happens when the tea decides to pour itself?

Chika

Mmmph—wait, what?!

Riko

Chika-chan, don't—!

Demon lord Murasaki

The house has chosen you as its new playmate!

Chika

Mmm-mm-MMMPH!

Riko

You can't just trap people in beverage prisons!

Demon lord Murasaki

Can't I? The tea finds you... deliciously entertaining.

Chika

Mmph... the stars... they're singing...!

Riko

A-flat minor... no, wait... it's modulating to C-major...

Demon lord Murasaki

The universe has excellent taste in entertainment.

Riko

It's a twelve-tone row... but the rhythm... Chika-chan, try moving your left arm!

Chika

Mmph-mm?

Demon lord Murasaki

The tea responds to musical intention. Quite the duet you're composing.

Riko

Faster! Match the kettle's whistle—it's a perfect counter-melody!

Chika

Mmph-hmph-hmph!

Demon lord Murasaki

Most people would prioritize escape over avant-garde composition.

Chika

MMMPH! MMPH-MMPH!

Riko

The modulation's happening naturally—keep spinning!

Demon lord Murasaki

The house thinks you need more... space to perform!

Riko

We can't just float her into the garden—what if she drifts away?!

Demon lord Murasaki

Oh, the garden's gravity works differently. She might drift up.

Chika

MMPH-MMPH-MMPH!!!

Demon lord Murasaki

Oh look, the tea decided to return. How thoughtful.

Chika

I... I danced with the universe...

Riko

I got the entire progression! We can finish it together!

Chika

Can we call it 'Gravity-Defying Tea Party in A-flat?'

Demon lord Murasaki

How delightfully... pedestrian.
