[Day 234] Enchanting Concert Mingle
[Video]

Um... hello!

[Dressed in a elegant black dress and gloves, Yuuki appears on screen, smiling sheepishly. She's at the beach, which is, of course, a little brighter than she likes. But the location aside, she's situated beneath a tree at the moment, and would look comfortable... if she weren't, obviously, a little nervous. She clears her throat, and bows after a moment.]

Ahem-- today I'm performing on the beach. It's-- well, it's something that I have to do. [A punishment] But I've worked really hard. [And the wardens want it to be public.] So if you don't have anything better to do... you're welcome to come and watch. We'll be starting shortly. Aha-- at the very least there's going to be snacks and food! So even if you don't like the performance, you can remember the delicious foods, right? Mm! Thank you.

[With a bow she expels a breath and cuts the feed.]

[Action + Video]

[There's a shaded mini stage put together over on the beach, with refreshments and snacks around and about. Nothing too large, but cozy and there's plenty of food to go around. Ice cream and popsicles (which you can never go wrong with) in addition to more savory snacks, such as takoyaki among other things. It's bigger than the girl at the center of attention would like. But she's going to see this through, even if the person who had originally helped train her rigorously to perform the songs isn't here any more.

On stage, she's wearing the pretty black number that Hikaru has carefully picked out for her. And despite her nerves from before, she's composed now. Training in how to handle herself in front of an audience (granted one at a ball) has proven to help when it comes to dealing with a large amount of people publicly. So, as she introduces herself once more, and her eyes swim about the beach to find Zero, and the rest of her roommates, she manages a smile.]

Mm... I've worked really hard on the songs for today! I wrote them together with Sheryl-san... so even though she's not here any more, I hope that I can convey them the way she would have liked. So for those of you who decided to come and listen... thank you!

[Taking position on stage, she waits for the sound of the music to begin, before her voice rings out. Filling the air and network, emotions wrap and coil around every lyric as she hopes for and wills the audience to become absorbed in the music and the listen to her.]

Castle of Sand

Gentle drifting white clouds
Float silent across the sky above me
But the me who's merely made of ashes
Motionlessly watches as they vanish into night

Can you see?

Gathering stars, into my arms
I build up a fragile castle of sand
And utter a tiny pray for all the ones I love
But, lying in wait,
a silent wave, flows and floods out everything
Sweeping away the castle of sand I built

A world of Darkness
A world of Silence

Though my prayer seems impossible
Like a tiny light, battered by the harshest of storms
Nevertheless I'll continue to keep it lit
Even though I stumble and fall
O'er and over again
These frozen, ice cold hands
Created that fragile castle of sand...

But, a silent wave, flows and floods out everything

Ah, for you, I'd-
Still Doll

Hi Miss Alice
I wonder what do you see
With your eyes of glass in your dream
Oh, what do you see?
Oh, what do you seek?

And just like before
My heart has been torn apart
And they bleed for you
Try as I might
To heal the wound
All my thoughts
Pierce relentlessly

Hi Miss Alice
I wonder who do you kiss
With your perfect and sweetened red lips
Oh, who do you kiss?
Oh, who do you miss?

Just like before
My tongue that once spoke my heart
Has been laid to rest
Try as I might
To sing the songs that I love
They cannot be heard

Still you do not answer

[ Supporting friends is very important and that is very much the reason why he's here. Plonked down on the beach and leaning back on his hands, Aidan waits for the concert to start.

Of course, once it does he doesn't stay in that position long. It's like a gravitational field, pulling his back straight and his eyes wide open, lips slightly parted in absolute awe. The music grabs hold of him instantaneously, drawing his attention to the girl on the stage that so effortlessly tugs at his heartstrings and there may be a bigger lump in his throat than he's willing to admit.

Some red eyes once the show is over, too. A few sniffles and subtle wiping at the corners of his eyes and shush, he is perfectly fine. ]

[So Zelgadis has been a serious jerk. Nothing unusual about that, except that this time he's feeling like he should at least acknowledge that fact to a guy that was just trying to help. Seeing Yomi a few days ago centered him in a way he hadn't known he'd been missing.]

[Bottom line, Aidan was right. And, somehow, Yuuki's singing makes it easier to go up to him and try to say that.]

[Zelgadis lowers his hood, a gesture that is probably more meaningful than anyone would guess, and scratches at his neck as he looks at the ground near Aidan's feet.]

...Nice music, huh? [Lame beginning, huh.]

	[ Good thing Aidan isn't one to hold grudges, or he might've displayed more than mild surprise at Zel coming up to him. As it is he even works up a genuine smile, nodding some at the lame beginning. ] Yeah. I had no idea she could sing like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2013-09-02 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	Me neither. [His words come quickly, as he was relieved to have an easy reply. After that there's a significant pause, since he's not great at this... stuff.] Look, I wanted to say... I shouldn't have acted like that. You were trying to help. [Definitely blushing, quite obviously. But he refuses to turn his head, he's a man godsdamn it!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-03 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	[ That earns him a somewhat quizzical look, followed by a genuinely warm smile. Wow. He's used to stubbornness, so this is both quicker, easier and a lot better for his health than past experiences. ] Don't sweat it. I know it can be hard to admit that you need someone. Don't worry about it, really. We're good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And Zelgadis isn't used to someone making it easy for him to apologize. He can't quite decide if it's a relief or if he wanted to be made to suffer more.] [He shakes his head in something like awed disbelief.] You make it sound so easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-03 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	Does it have to be hard? 'Cause I'm kinda fed up with everythin' bein' a damn struggle. You apologized, I understand where you're comin' from... no hard feelings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2013-09-03 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	I... [Damn, he doesn't know what to say to that. He has literally no experience with someone who isn't trying to get the last word or be completely right or just stubbornly sulking about the whole thing.] [The whole thing is so absurd that he starts laughing.] Gods, I suck at apologizing. Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-04 06:05 am UTC (link)
	Did you just apologize for th' way you apologized? [ Snerk. ] It's cool, really. Trust me, I've heard worse apologies in my day. [ And for some, much worse things, he never got one at all. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2013-09-04 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	That's a relief. I can't imagine how bad those were. [His long ears twitch as Yuuki sings.] It's... catchy, isn't it? [He can't put his finger on it, but something about the music is very compelling.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-05 02:21 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... an' it gets you right here. [ Tapping a finger to his chest. Totally not ashamed that he has emotions. ] Man, I can't even remember th' last time I heard live music... aside from th' karaoke bar, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2013-09-06 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	[If he could furrow his brow, he'd be doing it. Something about the whole thing is familiar, not the music but this feeling. He can't quite place it.] We only ever had live music at home. No strange contraptions or floating islands that play horrible music in the morning. Aside from the washing machines and microwaves, I could do without it all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-09-07 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	If you think this is bad, you would've hated th' city I lived in for a while. Big, blarin' speakers at every street corner, almost... shoutin' advertising at you. It was a mess. Compared to that, I don't really mind th' mornin' music. It gets you up and about, at least! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He swallows again, trying hard not to let the swelling anger take control. Vampire, again. It wasn't that long since Helix got bitten either and although he somehow managed to stay put that time... he's not so sure he can keep that up. ] Was it that tall guy? Eric? [ Definitely concerned over Sougo, but it'll just have to wait a moment. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
