[network] @Nocturne; Day 006, Afternoon ; Sonata [open]

[melodiouspacifist]

[Forgive him, the piano is not quite in tune but Demyx has been holed up in the same place since the end of Day 003 simply because there is a piano here. Instead of speaking at first, he begins to play a simple sonata, nothing terribly complicated in its composition but unique all the same. It's taken him awhile to figure out which note is which and complicated chords are a bit beyond him, but face it - it's not his instrument and the basics are all people are going to get.]

It's really too bad I can't stay here for awhile longer, but I'm going to need food or supplies soon. All there is in this house is shelter and a piano.

[He sounds a little regretful, but he'll play the piano for a long time unless people complain otherwise. Consider it the gift of background music for the afternoon/evening. Expect a few mistakes here and there, he's just not nearly as skilled on it as he would be on his sitar.]

You found a piano!

[ Yes, she's happy for him. ]

Voice

[melodiouspacifist]

I did! [He sounds pleased about it.] I was really surprised but I don't really know how to play that well, I kinda just hit the notes until I figured out where the scales were and went from there.

[ She had told him he might find a piano. The odds were in his favor considering how many houses (both standing and in ruins) there are.

She's just happy he's been able to find something he enjoys. ]

For someone who doesn't know how to play it very well, what you played sounded nice to me.

[melodiouspacifist]

Hey thanks! I appreciate that, I'm kinda trying my best here. [He laughs a bit.] It's pretty fun, to be honest with you.

[ninjainviolet]

You're welcome! But it's the truth. [ She's a horrible liar, Demyx. You'll see. ]

I'm glad you're having fun.

[ She remembers how despondent he had been the first they they talked. So, she's truly glad that he's found something to take the edge off. ]

Do you take requests? There's this band called The Beatles I discovered on a mission to a place called London... [He chuckles a little, not really expecting Demyx to know anything by the Beatles. Mostly he's just making conversation.]

[melodiouspacifist]

[Demyx makes sure video is on just so he can roll his eyes at Lea. Lea please.]

I can take requests if I know the song, mostly I make this stuff up.

[He grins and shrugs.] Same with my sitar really. I don't know this music you're talking about though.

[promises_to_keep]

Ah, well, it was worth a shot. Maybe if we meet up at some point, I'll hum a few bars for ya.

[Like hell he's gonna sing on the damn network, though.]

[melodiouspacifist]

Now I have to find you, because I want to hear you sing these songs.

[He's amused. Will Lea be good at it or not? Hard to tell with just a guess.]

Besides I can probably do your request better on a sitar.

[promises_to_keep]

[He snorts a laugh.]

My big musical debut~ Usually I only sing in the shower.

Don't worry, if I find a sitar I'll definitely save it for you. So far I haven't found anything even remotely musical, though. [He hefts something in his free hand then.] Found a big fluffy blanket, though, so all things considered I'm not really complaining.

You didn't happen to be at the school yesterday, did you

No, haven't left this house.

Ok, just checking. We heard someone playing the piano in there earlier.

[melodiouspacifist]

It's good to know there's a piano there too.

[genreblindness]

I doubt you'd be able to play it. It doesn't have strings.

[Thus far, Zelda has appeared on the network as a very grave woman. Always serious, always focused on the situation at hand.

But hearing the simple melody gets her to smile, even if it's a bit out of tune.]

You are a musician by trade?

Video

[melodiouspacifist]

I wish! Being a musician by trade would be awesome! [He's grinning and still playing gently in the background.] I usually play my sitar but it's more a hobby, I guess.

[sageprincess]

We have something in common, then. If I were not carrying this tablet, I would take out my lyre to play along.

[Unfortunately, Zelda's out and about searching the icy wasteland, as evidenced by the crunchcrunchcrunch of her boots in the snow. Stopping to play wouldn't be the best of ideas.]

[melodiouspacifist]

You have a lyre with you? Lucky!

[He sounds a little envious, but still pretty pleasant. He wishes he could have his sitar, but rules are rules - no weapons.]

[sageprincess]

One of the few possessions I was allowed to keep with me, it seems.

[Though it's been drained of its magic, sadly. She would have also appreciated something a bit more practical, but she'll keep that thought to herself. She hasn't had a light conversation in quite some time.]

Should I come across a more portable instrument, you shall be the first to know.

I don't believe a piano is a terrible find.

[Properly tuned or not, the piano is a welcome sound in the quiet.]

Voice

[melodiouspacifist]

I'm pretty happy with it, even if it's not my instrument, but I can't carry it with me and I don't have any supplies here...I'll have to leave it behind.

Voice

[lifewithoutrest]

You've made good use of it while you were there. That will have to be enough.

I've always enjoyed the piano, since I was a little girl.

Voice

[melodiouspacifist]

I understand. I've always enjoyed music ever since I was little too. My parents thought I had my head in the clouds or something because that's all I was interested in.

Voice

[lifewithoutrest]

Not everyone can see its value, unfortunately. Their loss, I'm afraid.
