[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



[OOC: Come and get your emotions played with... accidentally of course! Information can be found here. Characters can get their emotions played with or become enchanted, and vampires can get affected with the... side affects. It's all optional of course! In addition to the songs above Yuuki will sing Celmisia (Lyrics), and Heroine Syndrome (Lyrics) People are free to post as Before, During, or After the performance.]

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!]

[ 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.

[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.

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.

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.

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. ]

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.]

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.

[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.

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!

Ugh. I can barely stand big cities as it is. [Unless he's with the protective bustle of his friends. Then it never seemed so bad.]

You really find the bright side in everything, don't you? N-not that it's a bad thing.

Only way I know how t' be. It's too easy to let things get to you, so you gotta make sure you don't give 'em th' chance. [ Even more so lately. It was easy, once upon a time. ]

[This way of thinking is so completely foreign to him that it's only barely computing. He scratches at his head which makes a sound of stone-on-metal grinding.]

You remind me of someone from home -- a couple of people, really. I didn't understand them very well, either. But then... I probably wouldn't want to be friends with someone like me. So I'm glad not everyone is.

Just cause we don't like ourselves very much, that don't mean someone else can't. [ A casual observation more than anything. ] Sometimes I think we're too close to ourselves to see what we're really like.
