Michiru had spent a good hour or so posting notes around the resort. She'd put one up in all the common rooms, plus one at the restaurant and the theatre itself. Hopefully everyone who would be interested would see them. She wasn't sure exactly how many fellow musicians there were here, or how many would come, but if there was one thing Michiru was sure of, it was of the ability of music to connect people. And right now, she was feeling a need to connect, after the ordeal of the kidnapping and everything.

She made sure to arrive at the theatre well before the time she'd posted to get things set up. She hadn't been sure about using the theatre; it seemed a bit too formal for the type of get-together she intended, but the acoustics were perfect, and there really wasn't any better space. So, she set about getting things set up. Several of the resort's ever present golems appeared to help, carrying out music stands and chairs. Michiru wasn't sure what kind of instruments people would be playing or needing, but she figured they could figure that out when they arrived. Two of the golems pushed a rather nice grand piano out on the stage, and Michiru felt a twinge of regret that she hadn't asked Haruka to come as well. But it wasn't fair for her to always be dragging the blond to these kind of things, and while she was quite an accomplished pianist, Haruka didn't share Michiru's deep love for music.

Satisfied that everything was set up as best as it could be, Michiru shooed the golems away and took out her violin. With practiced ease she tuned it and tucked it under her chin. She took a few minutes to just warm up, playing a few scales and easy exercises before she began playing in earnest. Just a slow, sad piece that fit her current mood. She hadn't gotten too far in before she saw the door open and someone come in.

A simple tune was all he was able to handle, but he did quite well. He was sure that he was no match for Michiru's Haruka, but at least it was recognizable. The music filled him, the star woman on her strange instrument with her unearthly humming as a background, Michiru on her violin, and he on his piano. When Giselle came up to stand by him, he reached out briefly and touched her hand in encouragement before going back to the piano.

The song was so simple, so beautiful, and it was strange that it was close enough to the same melody on his world on hers, though the songs were very different. He couldn't quite resist the lure of the ancient elven melody, so while he willingly left the main part to Giselle, he harmonized. Not quite the humming that Yvaine was doing, he simply accented certain words that the redhead sang with his own voice. To be honest, it likely would have been too difficult to do much more and play the unfamiliar piano.

When it was over, his face wore a look of awe as he turned around on the seat to look at his fellow musicians. For once, he wasn't smiling, even though he had taken great joy in making the music. It was simply a joy that was too new to be expressed with a simple smile, and he looked around at each and every one of them. "I have never, in my nearly one thousand years of life, felt anything like that." His voice was hushed, solemn. The music had effected the normally irreverant, freespirited elf greatly, and he didn't try to hide it.

"If the Valar themselves were to hear our song, they would weep." A slight smile did cross his face as he looked at the beautiful Giselle. "Indeed, my Lady, it was fun."
