[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.]

Same old, y'know... I'm copin'. [ Which isn't to say that things are good, but he's managing. Maybe not okay, but trying to be. Nothing to really report. ]

You look a little... tired. [ Seems like a diplomatic thing to say. ]

[She can't say his neutral answer makes her glad, so instead she nods. Coping is a state of being she can appreciate far too intimately.]

[Aidan's assessment of her condition is incredibly accurate. Tired, literally and figuratively drained, and struggling in a way she's not used to.]
Yes, I am.

[And since there's no way to say this that can soften it,] I was attacked a few days ago. I was in very bad shape for a little while.

What..? [ That sickening feeling when you realize you really did miss something incredibly important... but she's here and she looks okay enough, so he swallows down the rising panic. ]

What happened?

[Hearing the trepidation in his voice, Lacus squeezes his had gently. The worst part of all this isn't nearly bleeding to death, it's having to hurt the people she loves.]

The day we had the temporary visitors, I was bitten by a vampire. It was difficult, but my body is quick to heal. I worry more for Sougo than myself; he didn't take it very well. [At that, her voice does very slightly waver as she remembers Sougo telling her with eyes red from exhaustion, I can't sleep. What if something happens to you?]

[ 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. ]

[Lacus is generally trying to keep a lid on exactly who, but she gets the feeling that Aidan is asking for some specific reason, and even worse than people starting an anti-vampire cold war would be her the wrong person catching the heat for it.]

[She starts to shake her head, then remembers her wounds.]
No, it wasn't him. If... it's okay, I'd rather not discuss who it was, but if it's important to you to know then I won't hide it.

I don't want to make any more problems. It's been difficult enough.

That's, uh... that's alright. You don't have to say anythin' if you don't want to. It's just... well, that guy got to Helix not too long ago. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't th' same thing here. [ Still not convinced that Eric didn't do something to convince Helix to leave it be. This is getting old. ]

Will you be okay?

Yes. [There's conviction behind that word, even if she has to force it. However...] Although right now, I admit I can't see how. [She shuts her eyes to prevent him from having to see the doubt and pain she knows is there, and instead focuses on the soft winter scarf against her cheek.]

Don't I know how that feels... [ Better than she might realize. Better than he's been letting anyone realize. ] It's gonna get better though... I'm sure of it. Maybe it's hard t' see th' sun for all th' clouds now, but sooner or later th' rain's gotta stop.

Mm, you're right. [She has to believe that, because if she doesn't then she's well and truly let this place defeat her.] I only wish I didn't have to pull others out into the storm with me.

It was only bad timing, but as it turns out Sougo's sister was here that day. He lost her all over again, and then found out I was hurt... he hasn't been acting like himself since.

[ Oh no Sougo bb. It says a lot about how far they've come since that first conversation, considering that his first reaction to this additional information is a desire to go look for the guy and squeeze the sad out in a bear hug. He doesn't, though. Not yet. ]

Man... that's not fair. [ A beat. ] You want me to talk to 'im?

[It speaks to how uncharacteristically full of guilt she is that she contemplates whether she should tell him no, that it will be fine, because she doesn't want to burden him further. But Aidan is caring, and it would be a disservice to him to treat him like that.]

If you can. Nothing I say seems to make him feel better. When he made that announcement yesterday about his game, how he hadn't slept... he was staying up because he couldn't sleep out of fear that something would happen to me. The only way I could get him to rest was with him holding me, to make sure nothing went wrong. [Sure it sounds cute and sweet, but it felt awful.]

[ That sounds so very familiar. How many nights has he stayed up, just watching Helix sleep? How many times has he cradled the boy in his arms to get him to drift off? He can understand the situation all too well. ]

Don't worry... I'll take care of 'im. Leave it to me to make sure he's alright, you just keep focusin' on feelin' better. Alright?

[Oh does she ever not like the sound of that. Despite that he's absolutely correct, it hurts that she can't take care of someone she loves when they need her.]

[After a deep breath, she nods.]
Thank you, Aidan. You're right, I should focus on getting things back in order. And possibly finding a new way to defend myself so this doesn't happen again.

[Sure, she's a petite pacifist with pink hair, but Coordinators are responsible for some of the most dangerous innovations ever made. Things that can prevent a nuclear reaction and destroy all life on a planet. It's very doable for Lacus can figure out how to design some small thing to defend herself. She just hasn't wanted to until now.]

[ So very happy that she isn't protesting. Really, it's about taking care of each other and if he can take some weight off her shoulders and make sure Sougo doesn't get himself in trouble, then he will. She'd do the same for him.

He gives her shoulder a very careful little squeeze. ]


's gonna be alright. I'm sure of it. That... guy, whoever it was... he ain't touchin' you again. I promise. [ Never mind that he doesn't know who it was or that he can't fight vampires. He's just fed up with watching the people he loves getting torn to shreds and no one does anything to stop it. ]

[A nod as she tries not to think of what Tyki already did to that end, not for her but because of her.]

I've been thinking since it happened that I should spend more time doing activities that will help me center myself again. This place has been getting to me more than usual since we moved to this dome.

[ Nodding. ] I hear you. It's important to remember who you are, deep inside... 'least I think so. You can't let all th' bad stuff eat you up without a fight.

[She nods along. She knows everything he's saying to be true.] I wouldn't ever stop fighting.

But it is harder, this time. I've been apart from Kira before, in the short term. Nothing like this. You and Sougo and others are very important to me, but he is my balance. We hold each other up when it's needed. [She's sure Aidan understands that special connection and how it can't be replaced, no matter how she loves others. It's just not the same.]

[ He thinks he can, but he doesn't know. He and Helix... they've only been together a few months. They're young. He'd like it to be a happily ever after, but back home he's been without him five times as long as he's been with him. That separation... it causes crack. He can feel them even here. ]

...yeah, I get that. Some people just can't be replaced.

Mm. And though I'd not say I can't go on without him because he would never want that for me, I do wonder sometimes whether I'm a different person entirely without him beside me. Everything seems to take just a little more effort.

That's when I find myself wishing the Wardens hadn't given me these new memories. It would be easier if I remained ignorant of what I've lost.

[She leans slightly against him.] I suppose you understand that better than anyone. [She never got the detailed story of what happened after Aidan and Helix parted. From what he did say, what she can tell, Aidan's having a much harder time since then. She hates that feeling for both of their sakes.]

I don't know 'bout that. [ Well, he kind of knows. It was easier with Helix before he got an update on what went down back home, but would he really want that taken away from him now that he had it? ]

Easy ain't always right. Sure, it's tough... knowin' what you got back home. Knowin' what you lost... but I gotta tell you, I'd rather know than live like some goddamn coward.

[ He doesn't sound too sure of himself. It's a struggle every goddamn day, but sometimes his idealistic, young self peeks out his head and those times Aidan can't believe that he ever wanted to crawl under the covers and hide from the world. ]

You're right, of course. [She hadn't any doubts about it. Still, it doesn't stop her wishing. Things had at least made more sense before she had overlapping memories.]

We'll both find some peace at some point. I believe that. And in the meantime, it's good to have people to lean on. Thank you for that.
