WHEN: Day 3, morning and on

[Having returned with blood all down their fronts, perhaps everyone is in need of a shower. Possibly a nap?? Did you toss your coin in the well or do we need to head back to town for that when we're feeling a little more together. How are you handling things, friends?]

What kind do you like most?

[ohlord]

Not that picky. Somethin' with a good beat, I guess.

[vivace_ultimate]

Good beat...

[she thinks about a moment, then nods.

Her hands go to the keys and she starts to play.]

[ohlord]

... kinda old timey. How'd y'get the piano?

[vivace_ultimate]

We picked blueberries as a team and when we woke up, we had a piano.

[she's still playing]

I begged everyone to please allow me to have a piano. Piano is my life.

[ohlord]

[oh, so that's how the whole "flock" thing works.]

You a professional?

[vivace_ultimate]

Technically, not. In practice, yes. I play on a professional level.

But, I definitely plan on becoming one officially! I just wanted to finish school first. A 'normal' school, instead of a conservatory.

[she'll bring the piece to an end by about now.]

[ohlord]

[sounds like rich people problems but he is polite enough to give claps for the finished piece.]

Not bad.

[vivace_ultimate]

Thank you very much. ...But. Just a 'not bad'? Was it that I wasn't ambitious enough?

[Hands return to keys...]

[ohlord]

Nah. I just dunno enough about music to say much else.

[vivace_ultimate]

... [she slowly shakes her head]

You don't have to know anything about music. It's about... feeling.

[...]

Just one more?

[ohlord]

Sure, if y'want.

[vivace_ultimate]

...

[She takes a deep breath, preparing herself. Her hands settle on the keys neither tense nor loose. Until they begin to move.

Vivace's fingers play out a soothing melody evoking the rolling moonlight on calm water...]

[ohlord]

[man from desert planet can't relate to the calm waters, but maybe just a still night over the dunes is fine.

probably says more that he doesn't say anything and just kind of vibes with the music, though.]

[vivace_ultimate]

[She finishes up the final flourish with understated subtlety... the piano is not perfect, but the pianist is talented.]

'Clair de Lune'. Debussy.

...Did it take you anywhere? It's supposed to call to mind moonlight... sad, but beautiful.

[ohlord]

... too calm for most things I know, but guess one place I know and the sky's clear.

[that one almost sleepy place that was safely tucked away from the rest of the world...]

[vivace_ultimate]

[she nods, not wanting to take his quiet moment to reminisce away by saying anything else.]
