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.

Giselle took the tambourine and examined it. She gave it a little shake, and the pleasing sound of the small cymballs crashing together tinkled in the air around her. She grinned and nodded, though she wasn't sure it was such a great instrument to accompany such a voice as Yvaine's. "Thank you!" She accepted it graciously and watched as she went off to sing.

The sound of her voice made Giselle's spine tingle. She bumped the tambourine against her thigh now and again through the song, when she could remember. She was mostly distracted by the melody issuing from the glowing woman's mouth. Had Giselle been one to question the integrity of other people, she might have wondered at the honesty behind Yvaine's claim of being a star. But this song, and the glow that surrounded her, would have put those ideas to rest immediately.

Giselle knew of no other creature anywhere that could make a sound like that. She was mesmerized. The sound of the recorder and the violin accompanying such an ethereal voice only added to the beauty of the song and Giselle did not notice that she was weeping until the song was over. She was startled to feel the coolness of tear tracks on her face, and reached up to brush them away. But anyone who would fear for her sadness would notice the smile on her face.

"Yvaine, that was beautiful. Beyond beautiful. It was indescribable." She dried her tears and smiled at the rest of them. "Michiru, thank you for inviting me! This has been so much fun. I would like to do this again. Please think of me for next time." She smiled and bowed to the trio before she stepped down from the stage. She was hungry, and a little bit tired. She wanted to hear the sound of Yvaine's song in her head for the rest of the day and was afraid that another song might chase it from her mind. She gave a last, enthusiastic wave before exiting the theater and heading for the cafe.
