[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

[ It's not really his thing, this sort of Boy Scout get-together. Sure, he can grab a pint and skulk around in the karaoke bar but this is a bit too far out of his interest zone and so he had no interest in dropping by but as it happens he's still drawn to the beach by the time the concert kicks off. Something about the music. Something about the voice that makes the demon in his chest pace restlessly.

He had no intention of hunting tonight and yet he finds himself on the prowl, quietly weaving through the crowd and nursing a cigarette. ]

[She isn't surprised that Spike's presence drew her attention, or that the sight of him makes the air feel heavier. Even in the rare occasions, like now, when Lacus has trouble being completely honest with herself, she could never be enough in denial to admit that Spike frightens her now. It's less that he could have killed her and more her own helplessness to prevent it, a feeling which she's been unwillingly nursing for weeks.]

[She's never let fear settle into her, and she doesn't intend to start now. Maybe that's what makes her adjust the blue scarf around her neck (she debates removing it, but she doesn't want questions from others) and head after Spike. To prove she can do it, even though she's afraid. Even though the lingering effects of his attack are very much evident in her careful stride and pallor, in the way she looks at him.]

[And also, to say something that she needs to say.] No good comes in delaying the inevitable, I suppose. [It's too small a dome to avoid each other indefinitely, even had she the desire to try.]

	[ It surprises him to see her approach, even though it probably shouldn't. She never seemed the type to do what's best for her health, but he would've thought Tyki had words with her. He shifts his stance as she comes closer, a little bit of tension working its way into his otherwise relaxed slouch. ] Does Tyki know you're here? [ Straight to the point. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Not precisely what she expected, but it does confirm her suspicions.] No. And I imagine he won't be pleased. [She makes no move to leave, and actually smiles a little as she shifts her clothing to reveal the crucifix hanging from her neck.] But seeing as he gave this to me for protection, I imagine he more or less expected it.

	[ His eyes drop to the familiar cross, mouth twitching into a humorless smirk. Well then. Someone wanted insurance on top of his word... clever man. ] Shows how much faith he's got in me... really, I thought he was better than this. [ Prying for cracks. Couldn't hurt. ] That little thing is no guarantee... but I guess he didn't tell you the gritty details. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He didn't, but I can guess. [She tucks the crucifix into the folds of her scarf. She well knows it's not a panacea.]

I wanted to apologize for him going after you. I should never have told him at all, and certainly no one deserves to be tortured because he wishes to mark his territory. [Did Spike deserve to be punished for attacking her? Perhaps. But she knows that's not what was behind Tyki's actions, and in her mind the two are distinctly separate.]

	[ And just like that, the cocky, nonchalant attitude comes to a complete stand-still as he spends several long seconds just staring at her, unable to believe his senses. Eventually the stunned silence is broken by a deep, side-splitting laughter. ] How th' hell have you stayed alive this long? Do you have a death wish or are you just that daft?

[She smiles genuinely at that; it's hardly the first time someone has mocked her for being reckless. Talking to a vampire is one of the less life threatening things she's ever done.] Daft, I suppose, if that's how you see it.

If you were going to kill me, you'd have done it. I can't see how my odds would get any worse by admitting I did something wrong. Especially if it amuses you.

[ He tilts his head in a gesture of agreement. ] True. If I wanted you dead, that's what you'd be... but don't mistake that for mercy on my part. The only reason why that pretty lit'le head of yours is still attached to your shoulders is Tyki.

I've got nothing to gain, pissing him off. Actually... you could say we're even now. [ So very far from it, but she already knows he's un-neutered and dangerous. Implicating his dear murderbro only seems fair. ]

	Aren't you special... [ Softly purred against her cheek. He's pretty attracted to her special brand of vampirism, to tell the truth. ] Having a lot more fun now. Not exactly my kind of gig... though I have to admit, it's doing something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He lets his eyes fall half-closed at the touch, a low rumble of appreciation vibrating in his throat. Such a good touch. ] Makes my blood pump... so to speak. [ His free hand is sliding over to her back before sinking down along her spine. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-09-05 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	It'd be a shame if we didn't... wasted opportunities, and all that. [ Letting his hand sink even lower to trace the firm curve of her ass. ] Pretty sure that's not proper etiquette in these parts, though. [ And as much as he's a fan of breaking social rules, shagging with an audience doesn't sound all that appealing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
