I have to admit, I mostly concentrate on the organ stuff. Personal taste and whatnot.

I hadn't realized the timeline was that close -- I guess I mentally misplaced exactly when Sakuya disappeared (and, thus, Remilia actually stopped going out)

I have this nagging feeling that *most* organ players are struck by 'dark whimsy' on occasion...if for no other reason than because they regularly *play a building*.

Remilia herself rarely, if ever, left the house after the 10th of Flor&3acute;al, partly because she didn't dare in case Flandre acted up (since she was the only person left in the house who even had a prayer of controlling her), but mostly because she wanted nothing further to do with the outside world and its revolutionary fanatics. It was always Sakuya who ventured out, in an effort to bring back at least a few things that might brighten life in the ruins a bit (and keep at least vaguely current about what was going on).

Still, that meant that when Sakuya disappeared, Remilia lost virtually all of what little contact with the outside remained. Not that she ever really noticed, or would acknowledge, that she missed it before G came along.

I'm surprised he hasn't shown it to her already with his omnitool. She's seen it before, and the only other person in the mansion who isn't a time traveler is Flandre, who has the fantastic mental flexibility of the recently-mad to help her handle it. And if he doesn't want to play directly from the tool, he could certainly use it to fabricate records for the player.

I know he seems to be viewing 1946 as sort of a "challenge run", where he doesn't use any anachronistic tech unless absolutely necessary, but surely there's some part of him who wants to fill the Scarlet Mansion with the sounds of his daughter's band rocking out.

Slow and steady progression is probably the best way to go.

That's a wonderfully funny mental image you just gave me. A pity Lena wasn't able to accelerate healing on her leg, she would probably have wanted to show off more modern dance moves to go with the music.

Come to think of it, are Glen Miller and similar bands still A Thing in this timeline? There ought to be a record shop in Colmar that could be visited for the next supply run.

Oh yes. As a matter of fact, G was on his way back to St-Ulrich from a shopping trip to Colmar for exactly that. Along with a few books and other odds and ends, he bought all those Ink Spots records they spend most of TTW listening to on that trip.
