Meet Instro
[1 - for a certain robot]
Dorothy...!
[It's noon at the Smith mansion. Frantic piano playing woke up Roger, who's in less than excellent mood as he approaches his, for the lack of a better word, maid.]
I told you already, don't play the piano in the morning! Especially not this. Isn't this the same song you played during Miss Macross? Didn't you score close to the last place?
[2 - aftermath of the previous one, also an open invitation for anyone interested]
In order to... broaden Dorothy's cultural horizons, tonight we're going to visit a certain friend of mine. He's working at a bar called Amadeus, in Paradigm City. If a few other people are interested, you are free to join us - if spending a musical evening in a soothing atmosphere sounds like fun to you, you won't be disappointed. And after everything that happened lately, you've earned it.
[3 - the actual visit, and the default part of the post]
[Amadeus looks like a classy place, but one with a calm and warm atmosphere. Even from the outside, quiet sounds of a piano can be heard. Inside, beautiful music fills the air, played by a single pianist. All the guests are sitting quietly, enjoying the sounds and looking relaxed and blissful, most of them with their eyes closed.]
[Also, the pianist is a robot. Soon, he finishes the melody and bows down to the audience, which responds with clapping - it's not a wild ovation, but it's definitely genuine. Shouting and cheering would just feel out of place here, and ruin the mood.
Now it's time for a break between songs, and an opportunity to talk to people. Speak to the pianist? To Roger and/or Dorothy, who are now heading into his direction? To other people who tagged along?]

That was incredible, sir. Paradigm City's robot citizens impress me every time I meet one!

Are you not from here?

Ah, just kidding. I know how to hide my horns, don't worry.

I must say, it's really special to have a city such as Paradigm, where humans and androids coexist side by side.

[Roger listens to the music for a short moment.]
This is similar. You're not even playing the piano correctly.

I'm very happy to hear that, friend. My name is R. Instro, as you probably know. What's yours?

...Dorothy, I think there's someone you should meet.

...In the eyes of many, androids are second-class citizens.
no subject
Or are androids blamed for causing some of them?
no subject
Because of that, it's too easy for some to just see them as tools.

Dorothy, this is the man I wanted you to meet. His name is R. Instro.

[Instro turns towards Dorothy specifically.]
Could you let me hear your music?
no subject
(Despite that, Dorothy starts to play, to show Instro what she means by that.)
no subject
You're very good on a technical level, but I think you can still improve. Could you play the first part again? But change the tempo slightly, like this.
[He demonstrates.]
no subject
I'm a bit surprised that you're friends.
