[reveiller]

Who: reimprovise and restardom
Where: Goldenrod, outside the inn on a bench
When: In the lazy, lazy afternoon
Summary: Because voice lessons have to happen.
Rating: ... PG?

[This would be a Fuji, commandeering this bench, music sheets in hand. He's flipping through them with a look of contemplation on his face, absently unscrewing the lid on the canister of coffee that he brought along with him. Now-a-days, it's a little rare to see him about without being engaged in an argument or doing something questionable with food and whatnot, and he knows this too -- which is why he looks like he's enjoying this little bit of time off from full-time weirdness.

It's piano music, marked in black and white. There's also a Froslass hanging over his shoulder, breath misty in the warm, afternoon air. As the afternoon wears on, she starts humming tunelessly, and he chuckles, pointing out notes to her in low tones.

It's just a very lazy afternoon.]

[ And lazy afternoons are meant to be interrupted by energetic idols. Who really aren't too energetic today, but that's okay. There's just suddenly a Rise peering over from the back of the bench, a surprised noise escaping when she spots what he's holding. ]

... Wow, I didn't think I'd see you with sheet music.

/holds!

[He quirks his eyebrow, not entirely surprised by this development of events. Actually, with the things that have been happening during the past week, it'll be hard pressed to surprise him with anything, really.]

Neither did I, until I popped into the music store. [Flipping through these!] Ah, it's been ages.

/clings!

[ with a Bellossom dangling from one shoulder, she's leaning closer to investigate. What is personal space, Rise missed that class-- ]

Do you play an instrument or something?

/snugs!

[reveiller]

[... flinches a little at that, but gives himself an excuse to scoot away a little by turning to face her, holding the music up. \o/ There is a way for everything.]

Piano, or I used to. I'm a little surprised the notes still make sense, really -- I've been out of practice for so long.

[ ... yep, about as fond of personal bubble popping as Naoto. Only Naoto's far less headache-inducing. ]

Well, sight-reading's a little like bike-riding. You can't really forget it.

[reveiller]

[he makes a fair effort at it]

Mm, everything can be forgotten at some time or another. But it's true that some things take longer than others.

[ studying it for a second ]

I guess this is one of them. Even I can read this.

[reveiller]

Super-idol powers, activate?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ that makes her grin, for the entirely wrong reason. ] Inoue-san would never let me hear the end of it if I couldn't do this.

[reveiller]

With great power comes Great Expectations?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. So are you going to find a piano or something?

[reveiller]

I could, if I wanted to embarrass myself terribly. Like I said, it's really been a while -- saying that I'm just a tad out of practice is an understatement.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Do you at least know how the tune goes?

[reveiller]

Sort of. It's very nostalgic.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ this is an expectant look. ] Maybe you could just sing it, then!

... I don't know how gently I can break this to you, but since it's you, I'll give it my best shot.

Rise -- and I don't mean to shatter your beautiful view of the world or anything like that -- not everyone can sing like an idol.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... I know that, but singing in general isn't that hard!

[reveiller]

Yes, well, some of us don't see the appeal in embarrassing ourselves in public.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Says the guy who wasn't that bad at selling tofu or wearing Wigglytuff ears.

[reveiller]

Hey, that's just unfair. That was fun.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

And embarrassing for most people.

[reveiller]

You didn't seem to put-out, either.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I'm used to that sort of thing.

And besides, you weren't that bad at singing.

[reveiller]

Mm, what can I say? I had big shoes to fill. [a chuckle] But really, I think I've learned my lesson -- leave the singing to those who sing.
