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.

One of Michiru's favorite things about playing with others like this was the ability to freely adapt the music as she was playing. Once Giselle started singing, she didn't hold back with her playing, and worked through a complicated harmony to suit Giselle's voice, and the other two instruments. She was thrilled at the beauty of the results. It had been so long since she'd been able to play like this. So much of the past few years had been taken up by being a senshi, and what little other time she had had been spent in concerts and recording studios. Not much chance to meet other musicians and just play for the love of music. Here though, it seemed she had all the time in the world. And wonderful musicians to play with.

"Indeed, that was wonderful" Michiru said as they finished. She looked over at Legolas "I would be interested to hear you on an instrument you are familiar with, since you seemed to pick up this one so well" she said, her fingers brushing the glossy black wood of the piano.

At the star woman's question Michiru smiled slightly and twisted the bow in her fingers. "I've played since I was five" she said quietly, not wanting to boast. "I really was hoping to make a full career out of it."
