I've got rhythm in my feet; I've got rhythm in my heart and soul--

[it's rather amazing what a bit of time and some determination can do. aside from the patch on the neck where the finish needs to be redone, you could hardly guess the guitar had been in pieces early in the week.]

So, I know this place can get pretty lively, but it never seems to be the right sort of lively. I think we could all do with a bit of a pick-me-up.

[the song he starts up is an energetic one, albeit rather old fashioned. he looks out across the room with a grin.]

Anyone else who can keep in tune is free to join. Let's fill this place with jazz, folks!


[why yes, this is a blatant attempt to cheer up pedofood ]

Jazz always did strike me as a unique style of music. Either way, music is a much better way to liven things up than violence.

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

I quite agree. People seem to be on pins and needles at all times around here. The drop of a hat is enough to set them off like cats.

I don't s'pose you'd care to take part...?

[hesmellsyou.livejournal.com]

Well, in a place with well over six hundred individuals it is understandable, although it's certainly unnecessary to be so full of...tension.

Ah, I'm afraid I've never been adept with music. I wouldn't mind listening all the same, though.

[ooc: Why thank you. I felt that it was fitting. ;D]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Six hundred, huh? Didn't realize there were so many people in this pad. You kind of lose track of everyone after a while...

And that's fair enough. A musician isn't worth too much without an audience, anyway.

[hesmellsyou.livejournal.com]

Fortunately for me, I have a rather strong sense of smell. Even within this mess of duplicates, I can identify each individual scent.

True. Then again, is it not something you also do for your own enjoyment?

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a handy trick. Must make findin' people around here a whole lot easier.

And well, of course playin' has always been somethin' I do because I enjoy it myself, but it's quite a bit of fun to share as well.

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

[... grins.]

You know, you're really great.

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Sora!



Feelin' better?

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

[toootally cheesing it and reaches out for a hug. if this keeps up, they're going to be attached at the hip.]

Lots!

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Good, you look much better wearing a smile.

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

H-heh, thank you ...

[a certain someone had told him that once, and it only makes him blush a little.]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

It's not much without the brass, and probably nothin' like what you listen to, but I'll keep playing if ya want.

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

Keep playing, I like it!

I'll listen to anything that's got a nice rhythm. [wriggles.]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Certainly; as you wish~

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

[just bows his head some with a coy smile and a light blush on his cheeks. he really is too kind~]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

You dance at all, Sora?

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

I've never tried, heh .. could you teach me?

[watches him.]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Sure, this one's a pretty simple routine.

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

[watches more, intrigued.]

Just like that?

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, here-



Just follow me, okay?

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

[nods slowly, watching their feet to make sure he's doing everything right.]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

See, there you go. Just one, two, three, four... like that.



And then you just match the tempo of the song.

[pedofood.livejournal.com]

Okay .. that's easy enough.

[grins up at him.]

[nocturnesbeat.livejournal.com]

[listens for a minute with curiosity, then pulls out the sitar to give it a unique accompaniment]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Now we're gettin' somewhere! Thanks for joinin' in.

[nocturnesbeat.livejournal.com]

No problem! I don't usually play this kind of music, but it's got a good beat!

[and now there are some water clones doing the Charleston nearby]

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

Heh, not quite what I'm used to, either. Haven't got much experience with eastern instruments, but this is soundin' pretty fine~

[nocturnesbeat.livejournal.com]

[picks out a nice riff to underline the main melody]

We need a drummer.

[holeboy.livejournal.com]

That we do. Wonder if anyone else around here plays as well...
