I'm not quite sure yet. Perhaps microclimates, for people who need the volume turned down. Or temporary manipulation of echoing in one location but not the other in order to build a more elaborate sound. [He shrugs, still tap-tap-tapping away. Only one nail left now.]

I'm not a musician, and sometimes overly heightened senses are a disadvantage when trying to figure out sound. [Silly, but true.] Jaskier said he'd stop by, and in terms of improvements, he'd probably be the best to give them in terms of what a musician might want for this space.

[There, that's the last of the nails.] I just don't want this to be a rallying point for anything that isn't art, I suppose.

[petcromancer]

Huh. [Hector hasn't given much thought to music, other than enjoying what he hears from Jaskier. It sounds... complicated.]

So if you amplify the sounds for a human's preference, are you dooming yourself to miserable performances? Or are you even planning on patronizing this place once it's done?

[He doesn't know how sensitive Alucard's senses are compared to a full vampire's, but he at least knows they are amplified from his own.]

[cryptsleeper]

In theory yes, I would be. But there's a lot of possibilities, and I can't say I have ever attempted audio engineering before.

[Translation: it's nice to have something news.]

The rest...I can't say either way. My hands need to keep busy.

[petcromancer]

This is why you need a dog.

[Of course, Hector thinks everyone would benefit from having a dog. Well, everyone who isn't an asshole who would mistreat it. But Alucard Tepes, this man needs a dog so so badly.]

It's good to have a hobby, though. You pick odd ones, but I understand the need.

[cryptsleeper]

[He's ignoring the comment Hector. He needs more than a dog to keep his mind moving and body occupied at all times to avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair.]

What's so odd about my having a natural interest in strange architecture?

[Totally deadpan.]

[petcromancer]

Architecture is boring. Buildings just... stand there. Except for your father's castle. They don't do anything.

[There are so many more exciting things to get interested. Like dogs. Or giant hulking murder beasts. You know, normal things like that.]

[cryptsleeper]

But they do. They can.

[Alucard tilts his head slightly.]

You wouldn't want to see more buildings like the castle?

[petcromancer]

Yes, of course I would, but who else could make something like that?

[Presumably Alucard, but as far as Hector knows, the only thing he wants to make is a tomb.]

[cryptsleeper]

A tomb isn't cheap to build, and I need projects between now and then.

[Duh?]
