☆ 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...)

If this girl were a story, she'd probably be like Tangerines. The thought make Tohko smile..until she heard Rise's question. Then she sighed.
"I don't think so..after all, I haven't commented on it or done anything too rash to make him figure it out yet. Plus, since he's immortal, he'd probably turn a blind eye to any clues he did get about that sort of thing, you know?"
no subject
"Yeah, that would make sense. Sometimes guys can be pretty oblivious to a girl's feelings, even if they're not trying to be insensitive." She gave a sudden, mischievous little giggle. "I didn't have that problem, though--I definitely didn't leave any room for doubt about how I felt about Yu-senpai!" ♥
...Maybe something like that would be the best way for Tohko to go, too...but then again, she doesn't know Enoch at all, so she can't tell for sure. Plus, Tohko doesn't really seem like the type--she seems like she'd be more shy but quietly brave about this sort of thing than blatantly and shamelessly upfront about it.
no subject
"That's true..that happens all the time in stories. It's good to hear that you let Yu know how you felt right off the bat though! Not many girls can pull that off, so it's great to hear that you were able to do it."
With Enoch, Tohko had acted like they were good friends-which they were-while slipping in small hints that she might like the guy. She didn't think she was being brave about it..but other people might think of her as being so.
no subject
"It's usually pretty easy for me to say what I feel in public...it's when we're alone that I don't always know what to do." A hint of pink tinged Rise's cheeks that had nothing to do with the cold or her fever. "But...just being with him makes me happy, so I usually manage to figure things out."
And if Rise had known that was how Tohko acted around him, she would've thought that that was plenty brave. It was just a less-direct approach, that was all--not necessarily better or worse, just different.
no subject
Tohko had shoved off any idea of romance in the past, since she didn't want people to find out about her secret. But Enoch was different-someone who knew about her true self and didn't mind that much-so this was fine.
"Ah, I understand that. In public, you have other people to bounce off of..but when you're alone, it's just the two of you. No one to bounce off you or interrupt you if your about to say something silly. It's just you and him..but I think that would make it all the more sweet. That's just me though."
Tohko smiled and patted Rise on the head. "But it's good that you can manage to figure things out eventually."
no subject
She gave a happy little chuckle, thinking back on the past year. "Different, but definitely in a good way, at least most of the time."
Another intense shiver wracked her body then; once it had mostly passed, Rise gave a sigh as she looked down at the keyboard in front of her. "I think I'm done practising for now...I'm too tired to do any more today." Plus, judging by how much her hands were starting to ache with the cold, it was definitely time to go curl up in her blankets on her bed and try to get warm.
no subject
"That's true..but they are good starting points sometimes, and when you have a problem you can't answer, sometimes the right story can show you the way. But..I imagine that it is good to be with someone in real life like that."
At her words, Tohko nodded and got off the table. "Alright then. Do you need help getting back to your dorm room?"
no subject
It was harder than usual to get to her feet, and once there she had to fight off a brief dizzy spell, but Rise still shook her head at the offer of help.
"I'll be fine. It's not all that far, really. Thanks, though!"
no subject
"I'll bet! It must be wonderful. And are you sure? It wouldn't be any trouble."
no subject
no subject
"Are you sure? I would be happy to help out..and don't worry! I'll let you know how everything goes when I give Enoch the letter! Thank you for all your help..it really was nice."
no subject
"I don't think I really did much, but you're welcome! And yeah, I'm sure!"
She'd reached the doorway now, and was leaning against the frame a bit as she looked back at Tohko.
no subject
"Oh, you did a lot, really! I mean it."
Tohko watched as Rise leaned against the door, and she just looked back, a bit worried.
"Really? You wouldn't be bothering me, if that's what you're worried about."

Sick and tired as she was, Rise wouldn't be hard to keep up with, even if Tohko felt every bit as ill.
"I think our best bet is taking the stairs down to Floor 21, then taking the elevator back up to the dorms."
no subject
"I guess we will! Let's go!"
Tohko started to walk out of the room and onto the stairs.
"Alright then! That sounds like a good plan."
