when you sing your scales and your arpeggios.

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[he's sitting at a piano, yes he is. and playing.]

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do,
Every truly cultured music stu-dent knows,
You must learn your scales and your ar-peg-gios,
Bring the music ringing from your chest
And not your nose--
while you sing your scales and your ar-peg-gi-os!

If you're faithful to your daily pract-i-cing,
You will find your progress is en-cour-a-ging,
Do-mi-sol-do-mi-sol-fa-la-- so it goes,
When you do your scales and your ar-peg-gi-os...

[--raises an eyebrow, pauses and looks over at him. cracks a smile.]

What do you mean, the singing without sheet music or the piano playing?

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[raises an eyebrow, playing two major chords.]

It is difficult. Not nearly as difficult as singing, as you have to multitask.

--no one thinks singing's hard, though.

[he gives him sly grin, as if hiding information.]

[smiles from afar. he's had plenty of lessons in his day, though he hasn't touched the ivories for a while ...]

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[--takes a quick glance back. must have telepathy or something, because he scoots over as if to allow room.]

[roxaschu.livejournal.com]

[looks around with this "who, me" expression, hesitates, and takes a seat.]

Guess I'm not the only one ...

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[chuckles, then looks serious.]

I was talking to the air. ... not really, but.

[she couldn't help but be drawn towards him, really. is smiling gently]

You sing? That's definitely a first for a Riku.

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[smiles a little, glancing back at her.]

Sing, dance, play... pretty much everything but act.

;alksjfs oh no she didn't. DDD:

[fatum-venator.livejournal.com]

I bet your parents are proud of you.

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[he pauses, looking at the keys. clears his throat and smiles, looking back at her.]

... my parents passed away. I'm doing this for myself, but I think they'd be pretty happy anyway.

[acerbus-invidia.livejournal.com]

[is standing a good distance away from Riku, but close enough so he can be heard at his normal voice level. is ttly smirking.]

I can certainly see why Xemnas was so proud of you.

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[--... looks into the reflective plane and closes his eyes. after a moment, he reopens them--playing the Jaws theme.]

[acerbus-invidia.livejournal.com]

[can't help but laugh at that.]

How fitting, indeed. You certainly have talent.

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[he mutters to himself, breaking apart and starting to play Cruella De Vil.]

Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil. If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will. To see her is to take a sudden chill. Cruella, Cruella de Vil.

Wow! So many people here are good at music! ♪

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[he blinks and looks up. --oh god, a familiar face!]

De--... wait. You aren't... uh.

Yeah, it looks like...

[lovethefame.livejournal.com]

Eh? Is there something wrong?

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[he shakes his head slightly.]

... you just remind me of anyone. --and really, I'm not that good. I still need to practice. You play?

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

A version of me that sings. Guess there's a first time for everything.

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[he chuckles, glancing back at him.]

What, no other Riku here is musically inclined?

[prodigiousson.livejournal.com]

You are very talented at that sir.

[silveralli.livejournal.com]

[--oh, haha, he's witty and starts playing Ave Verum Corpus, a hymn from the Middle Ages.]

Thanks. It's the only thing I'm good at, anyway.

[prodigiousson.livejournal.com]

That is a familiar reminder of my home.
