[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.]

Stamina and breathing. As long as you're not out of breath, you can sing. You just have to know the choreography, when's a good time to sneak in a breath while you're dancing, that sort of thing.

[reveiller]

Someone should make a handbook of these little shortcuts. I think people would be surprised at how much actually goes into this sort of thing.

I think people like pretending it's as easy as it looks-- if you told anyone how hard idols worked, I bet they wouldn't believe you.

[reveiller]

Until they met you, maybe. Maybe I should go ahead and hide you in a box somewhere -- I wouldn't want to crush their beautiful delusions.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't worry. ♥ I'll keep making it look easy, so they can keep believing.

[reveiller]

Rise, defender of the beliefs and dreams of prepubescent boys since... what year were you born in?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

1995!

[reveiller]

Since 1995. [/satisfied. then, mock sigh--] And even if it were a coherent timeline, you'd still be entirely out of my league. What would it be back home?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Entirely out of your...? [ blink-- and then another blink. ] Not that far into 2012.

[reveiller]

[insert obligatory wasn't the world supposed to end in 2012 joke here]

Hm, you don't say. Was it a good year?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ cheerfully ] It was full of goodbyes, new beginnings, and the hardest fight of my life.

[reveiller]

Zombie apocalypse?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[reveiller]

Animal, vegetable or mineral?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ this is a bit of a grin. ] You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

[reveiller]

[shrug] Maybe I'd surprise you.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

No, I'm pretty sure it'd be the other way around...

[reveiller]

Mm, you don't say.

Hey, let's go look for a piano.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ if Rise seems at all hesitant or thoughtful, she certainly doesn't show it. Instead, she brightens and moves back, letting her Bellossom resettle in her arms. ]

Hey, yeah! I want to hear you play, and it's easier to practice with music.

[reveiller]

[and if Fuji's at all curious, he certainly isn't budging. getting up from the bench, he reshuffles the piano music a little, chuckling.]

Now, now, someone's enthusiastic. I'm not even sure if I still remember how to play, really.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

You never know until you try, right?

[ nonstop enthusiasm. ]

[reveiller]

Mm, well, let's find out. [grin, and he glances down the street] Music store first? I think I saw a baby grand in there last time around.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Onward! Music waits for no one but musicians!

[ ... it sounded cooler in her head. ]

[reveiller]

Well, I do hope we're musician enough for music to make an exception. [a chuckle, and he puts a hand to his chin, looking from side to side in mock contemplation] Was it this way...?
