☆ 002 : WARM-UP ☆ "All of us contain Music & Truth, but most of us can't get it out."
Characters: Rise Kujikawa and YOU!
Setting: Floor Twenty-Eight, the Music Room, or prettymuch anywhere else you want.
Format: Prose and Action both A-OK; you pick and I'll follow your lead!
Summary: Rise does her best to get in a little vocal practise for the (possible) upcoming Gas Chamber, Tower Edition show. Make a song request, pick up an instrument and join in, just listen...that part's all up to you. :]
Warnings: Event-related things, perhaps...or maybe she just has the regular flu. :3 Otherwise nothing.
Rise stood behind the electronic keyboard, shoulders relaxed, arms by her sides. Breathing in slowly, she hummed a low note (try to find the note where you feel maximum vibration in your lower abdomen) as she exhaled, one hand pressed to her midriff. After repeating that a few times, she shivered and huffed out a sigh instead, breaking the rhythm. But well, at least it was easy to make sure she was doing her breathing exercises right, since thanks to the cold, she could see every breath that left her mouth.
The cold did make it pretty hard to play the piano well, though--not that she was AMAZING at it even under normal conditions, but she was far from terrible, on the upper side of average at the very least. A singer who couldn't read music at all or play an instrument at least a little would be an embarrassment to her agency, and Rise was a quick study anyways.
After rubbing some circulation back into her fingers, she got to work on playing--and singing--some scales.
(It's nothing too interesting at first, but if you wait for a while, she might start practising an actual song or two...or maybe not. She might just start coughing instead...)

//votes YES to that! :Db And they could also FLOOD THE NETWORK with super-cheerful videos. X'D
[Whoops, better change subjects before she starts getting mad, or gets up on her soapbox. Let's focus on her response to that question instead...]
[It is a vague answer, but Rise's okay with that. She didn't tell Sayaka everything either, and there are very, very few people with whom she would willingly share the full details about how she got her Persona, what her Shadow had been like, and basically anything concerning the "Maru-Q Striptease". It was personal, and embarrassing, and just...not something people needed to know. Maybe whatever Sayaka didn't want to talk about was something like that. So while she's still curious, her respect for the other idol's right to privacy far outweighs that inquisitive feeling.]
...Don't worry about it, then. [Rise makes an attempt to lighten the mood, giving the other idol a playful wink.] We've only just met after all, so there's no need to get too personal just yet, right? But if you do ever feel like talking about it, I'm staying in Room 02-01, okay?
We should definitely do that, how about it??
The attempt to lighten the mood is welcomed with (figurative) open arms. ]
Of course, I'll think about it. [ Maybe... not... ] Likewise, if you want to talk to me about anything, I'm in room 1-05, first floor in the dorms. My roomates are pretty nice, so you don't have to worry about going there and not finding me. I also frequent the Media room quite often.
They can be the Tower Idols. Because people here DEF. need cheering up.
...Rise would be more inclined than most to believe stories about odd bear-shaped things...but the Battle Royale thing...yeah, she'd find that pretty horrifying, GOOD CALL NOT SAYING ANYTHING THERE. |D;][...Isn't I'll think about it what adults say when they don't just want to say 'no' outright...? Well, maybe it means something different in this case...but again, it's not like Rise'll ever want to tell Sayaka about her dungeon in the TV World, so. Keeping some things secret, or just private, isn't a bad thing at all. So Rise's just gonna let this go.]
Sounds good! And two of my roommates aren't really around much at all, but the other one is a friend. She can be a little jumpy--I think she had it pretty hard even before she got stuck here in the Tower--but if you're nice to her, she's pretty nice right back.
[And at that, Rise got back to her feet and returned to the keyboard.]
Hey--do you wanna practise together? I'd love to hear you sing!
This is a thing that must happen... please... ;;
Don't worry, I won't scare her off. I know how to deal with people like her. [ Social skills go! She pats her knees and - upsie daisie - stands up as well. Practice is better when you stand up, cold be damned. ]
Of course! Good thing this scarf protected my throat so far, so I can sing as much as I like. You're lucky, Rise-chan.
Heck. Yes. May I add you on Plurk for possible plotting purposes? (lolWOW alliteration, just WOW |D)
...Weeell, to be honest, Nesir would be more likely to stand her ground and fight than just run away, at least against someone like you or me. She seems pretty tough for someone our age.
[Rise beams as she rubs her hands together, pretends to crack her knuckles, then plays the first few bars of a song on the keyboard before stopping.]
*chuckles* I guess I really am, huh? So did you have something in particular you wanted to sing? [She'll give you a turn at the keyboard if so.] Or...did you maybe want to sing something together?
Of course I would be happy to! Username is elieinverse
I've got nothing in mind, so anything will do. In case I don't know the lyrics, I'll just go with the melody. [ She learns quickly after hearing them once, good memory and all. ]
\o/ Mine's AloryShannon! (&lol //proceeds to abuse prolificness of her character's seiyuu again |D)
Well, there's this duet I learned a while back that would be perfect for this time of year...
[If she's a top idol, Rise doesn't doubt that Sayaka would pick up the tune halfway through hearing the song the first time, and the lyrics after hearing them once (twice at the most). It's not a very hard song anyways, so...]
I'll sing it for you, and if you like it, you can join in!

Then lay it on me, Rise-chan. I'm ready to listen and follow.

[Rise turned most of her attention to playing a very passable piano-only version of "Holy Night", then began to sing as well, her voice surprisingly clear despite all the coughing she'd been doing. She covered both solos this time, but looked up and nodded a bit at Sayaka during the two parts the other idol would take, supposing she decided she liked the song enough to be interested in an actual duet.]

That was great! You have an amazing voice, Sayaka-chan!
[Y E P definitely gonna be visiting the Media Floor to check if any of the other idol's CDs are there. And since she's been told that her own are there, Rise doesn't see any reason why they wouldn't be.]
no subject
[ She places a hand on her chest, to even out her breathing. Without this cold, she wouldn't have to be careful about her voice. ]
...Somehow this tag got buried in my inbox, wtfHOW. 8|;
Your turn! Is there something you wanna play or sing, or should we call it a day for now and figure out some more collaborations later?
[Like when there's actually heat again. And she's joking about the 'collaborations' thing...but then again, maybe not totally. Sayaka-chan is really good, and it could be fun, especially if there's some decent recording equipment on the Media Floor. She'll have to check for that, too...]
welcome back u3u
We should wait until it gets warmer here. It's a bit risky to continue, don't you think so?
[ Sayaka smiles at that, though. ] I would love to practice with you again, when we're both feeling better.
TY! ♥
Yeah, you're right. I think I've had about as much of the cold as I can stand anyways, at least for now. But we'll definitely have to do this again!
[In the meantime, she'll have to make that trip to the Media Floor, and find some more duets for them to sing.]
no subject
[ One last blow on her hands, and then she fixes her scarf so that it covers her mouth. ]
I'll be on my way then. Hope we meet again soon, Rise-chan.
no subject
Definitely! I'll look forward to it, Sayaka-chan.
[New Friend & Worthy Rival = GOT (^▽^)ﾉ ]

[ And with that she turns to leave the floor. All that will get her sick, but it was worth the meeting. <3 ]
