Author's Notes "The Big O" belongs to Sunrise, Bandai, and (in the second season) Cartoon Network. I appreciate their creating such an interesting place to play. Many thanks go to my betas Zola, tvperez, and A Clockwork Tomato. Any remaining errors are mine. The music in this story is mostly real, and well worth listening to: "Festive Overture" by Dimitri Shostakovich "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin "Pavane for a Dead Princess" by Maurice Ravel "Concerto for Two Pianos in E-flat Major," K. 365, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart inspired this story "Cleopha - March and Two Step" and "Binks' Waltz" by Scott Joplin "Paper Doll" lyrics by Johnny Black So far as I know, no one has written a ragtime song for two players.
