[From the sound of things, the music room is in use again. Riku is currently trying his best to read some sheet music and play it somewhat correctly on an acoustic guitar. For someone who played for four years then gave it up for six, he's not doing to bad. Either way, this song can be heard as you get closer to the room.]

[has never heard a guitar before, so he sneaks into the room quietly and settles down in the corner to listen.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[When he gets to a certain point he stops and gives a frustrated sigh.]

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[blinks, lifting his head to look in Riku's direction. never mind if Riku even realizes he's there!]

Hey, why'd you stop?

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, looking over at you.]

...Because it's not going as well as I'd hoped.

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[climbs to his feet, and toddles on over -- he's just curious about the guitar, and is trying to reach up to pluck at a string.]

S'hard?

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Tilts the neck down a little so he can reach if he wants.]

Yeah. I haven't played in years.

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[plunk~ Roxas draws his hand back, looking faintly pleased.]

That wasn't hard.

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Smiles dryly.]

It's hard if you actually want to play a song.

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

Oh. I've never played a song b'fore.

[he seems to enjoy picking at the strings, though: plunk, plunk.]

[submit2darkness.livejournal.com]

[And what is this beautiful sound~? It seems a dark shadow was filtering into the room... ]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

It's a lot of work to get it just right. But when you do, it's really satisfying.

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[He's a bit too absorbed in trying to read the music in time with the song to notice anything else at the moment.]

[submit2darkness.livejournal.com]

[Likely for the best, because he was enjoying listening... The Darkness began to overtake the room slowly though... ]

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

... Don't think I've ever had a satisfying, either.

[reaches up with both hands to pluck at two strings at the same time.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[The music trails off as he looks up, feeling that all too familiar presence. The wary look on his face should be a clue that he won't be easily snuck up on.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[You know that saying "You learn something new everyday"? Well Namine sure is learning something new today, because she had no idea her boyfriend played guitar. Nonetheless was actually pretty good. She's smiling as she watches him, just listening.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

It's when you feel really proud of something you've done.

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[She made him want to pick it up again :> Also, the song sounds pretty good only because he's completely focused on the sheet music in front of him.]

[submit2darkness.livejournal.com]

Oh...Don't stop now. It was getting good. ...

[A ghostly chuckle. The Darkness ceases to spread, instead cadences into a form, Ansem. ]

[Roxas employs very little manners when he tries to scramble up on Riku's lap -- he just wants to get closer to the guitar, and Riku happens to be there for climbing!]

Like when I make a really big door I don't gotta crawl through?

[cloudchaser.livejournal.com]

[Just pokes his head in the doorway, wanting to listen but not wanting to disturb Riku. He winces a bit as the door creaks.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[She won't interrupt him, instead just listening contently.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Tenses when he hears the voice and glares when he sees just who it is.]

What do you want.

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[He's not thrilled about having a kid climbing on him, but he doesn't really mind.]

Something like that, I guess.

[submit2darkness.livejournal.com]

Nothing. I am just an innocent passerby..drawn to the sound of music.
