Who: Johannes and Ophelia
When: Midday
Where: Music room
What: Instruments are awesome.
Ophelia searched for the music room, still determined to learn how to play the drums. An unusual event or two happening to her recently did not stop her from upholding her promise to Simon. They had a band to start, after all! This morning found her immersed in a 'how to play the drums' book and she brought it with her just in case she needed it. She tied her hair back before finding a drumset and sitting at it, nerves flooding her and she had no idea why. She doubted she had any talent to play this instrument although she needed to try it out in order to determine that.
The drumsticks felt heavy in her hands, the pedal harder to press than she thought. Ophelia tried a simple beat hitting the highhat and the bass drum (not at the same time, but keeping it steady and coordinated was difficult). Her determinated side would not let her give up so easily. Soon she was lost in the world of beats and wondered how on earth she'd manage to play the drums as well as sing. It seemed very difficult except after years of experience. Just as an experiment, she tried to sing Twinkle Little Star with her playing and messed up halfway through it.
Probably too advanced for her just yet. Her cheeks warmed for no reason before she continued to play. Ophelia had never considered a musical path in life and even though playing in a band with Simon seemed like it was just for fun, it could boost her confidence. Having green hair helped, as did wearing a nice little black dress at the New Year's Eve party. She was back in a sweater, one that fit her more and was surprisingly warm given its thinness. Playing had her so focused that Ophelia didn't realize someone else entered the room.
