The short and not-actually-quite-anticipated song from the story, 'Intelligence and the Mecha Flora Monster' has arrived! Though not an actual part of the story, I think it ties in with chapter one to some degree.
I took out a section of townspeople singing about their day to day cares. I hope no one minds.

Vexen
Little town it's a...quiet village. Everyday, like the one before.
Little town, full of...little...people...
waking up to say...
Townspeople
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!Bonjour! Bonjour!
Vexen
There goes the baker with his tray like ALWAYS.
The same old bread and rolls to sell!
Every morning, just the same,
since the morning that we came,
to this poor provincial town,
Baker:
Good morning Vexen!
Vexen:
Good morning monsieur.
Baker:
Where're you off to today?
Vexen:
The bookstore.
I just finished this wonderful book about
non-Newtonian fluids and...
Baker:
That's very nice Vexen.
Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up!
Townspeople:
Look there he goes that boy's a
freak of nature!
He's quite an odd one can't you tell?
He's not in his proper place,
That pale hair and that thin face!
It's a pity Ansem didn't teach him well!
Bonjour!
Good Day!
How is your family?
Bonjour!
Good Day!
How is your wife?
I need, six eggs!
That's too expensive!
Vexen
There must be more than this provincial life!
Xaldin
Ah, Vexen.
Vexen
Hello Xaldin, I've come to see the new books.
Xaldin
You've finished the others?
Vexen
I couldn't put them down. Are they in yet?
Xaldin
Just came in yesterday.
Vexen
In that case I think I'll take...this one
Xaldin
Door to Darkness?
You're interested in the Heart now?
Vexen
Why not?
I've heard so much about it;
daring experiments,
magical results,
a genius in disguise!
Xaldin
If you want it all that much, it's yours.
Vexen
But Xaldin!
Xaldin
I insist.
Vexen
Why, thank you.
Thank you very much!
Townspeople
Look there he goes, that boy is
so peculiar!
I wonder if he's feeling well?
With that gleaming crazy look,
and his nose stuck in a book,
if he keeps this up we're gonna give him hell!
Vexen
Oh...isn't this amazing?
It's my favorite part because...
you see...
Here's...where he tests emotions!
But he won't stop ranting on
'till chapter twenty-three!
Town person:
Now it's no wonder that the
whole town hates him.
He's ugly, hideous to boot!
Town person:
Even with a fairer face,
he would still be a disgrace!
Just a whiny, bookish, snobby little
Townspeople:
Whiny bookish snobby little
Whiny bookish snobby little
coot!
Demyx:
Wow Luxord, you didn't loose a hand!
You're the best card player in the world!
Luxord:
I know.
Demyx:
Pretty soon, you'll be the richest man in town,
apart from maybe the mayor, that is...
Luxord:
That's why I'm going to get his son's dowry.
Demyx:
Marry Vexen?
But what about...?
Luxord:
You'll be my kept lover,
isn't that good enough for you?
Demyx:
Y-yes, well, o-of course it is, but...
Luxord:
Right from the moment that I
first saw Vexen,
I knew he had to be the one!
Though he's not much to behold,
I still get to keep his gold!
So I plan to woo and marry Ansem's son!
Demyx:
Look there, he goes,
isn't he dreamy?
Monsieur Luxord,
Oh he's so cute!
Be still, my heart,
I'm hardly breathing!
He's such a tall blond strong and handsome
brute!
[Insert townspeople singing about their day-to-day cares HERE
Vexen:
There must be more than this provincial life!
Luxord:
Just watch, I'll make that ugly brat my wife!
Townspeople
Look there he goes that boy who
thinks he's special!
A disappointment to all men...
Brains alone won't get him by!
So it's little wonder why:
We really cannot stand the guy,
we hate his guts, we hope he'll die,
that science stuff made his brain fry!
Vexen!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!
Bonjour!
