☆ 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...)

Nesir watched her mostly in silence, she hadn't expected it to look natural; that would come in time. She got the hang of it quickly though, Nesir was starting to think dancing and fighting were very similar in how you used your body. Even if she had never danced in her life.

"You do be doing well. Be remembering to keep your knees bent." She smiled at her, "Do a few more and I will be showing you how to be blocking."
culbutiri: (smiling)

more than I have for Nesir sob

The power would come in time, Nesir was more bothered about her having the correct stance for now. When she was satisfied that Rise had gotten the hang of it she grinned at her. "Okay now you do be punching me."
culbutiri: (I really don't want to)

I like them, it took me ages to find a PB sob

Nesir could see the uncertainty, it was one that Nesir had never felt. And she wondered again at the weakness that came when you brought light addled people up to believe they shouldn't harm others and then expected them to become warriors.

Well not all of them became warriors but for those that did... Nesir was glad she had not been brought up in such a confusing way, when she had been told to punch she had done so.

Nesir took a half step back and caught Rise's hand in hers. "Okay lets be pretending we do be in the tower late at night and I do be attacking you. I do no be Nesir I do be some horrid person who do be wanting to harm you." She pointed to her face. "Be punching me."
culbutiri: (silence)

Yup and also book characters

Nesir sighed, it wasn't like she was planning to let the girl punch her, that would be counter productive to the lesson in hand, but she would have to learn to punch hard, even if they were her friends.

Especially if they were her friends from what Nesir had learned of the way this tower worked. There was no way to guarantee her closest friends wouldn't try to kill her at some point.

She also was surprised that Rise liked her, that was still very rare for Nesir, she glanced at the shoes Rise had given her thoughtfully.

Then looked up again, ready. When Rise's fist came towards her face she stepped out of the way and brought her arm up, knuckles snapping at Rise's wrist. It probably stung a little but just hit her arm slightly off course.
culbutiri: (fine then)

Nesir had never taught such an enthusiastic student before, most of her students in the temple were too afraid of her reputation as a trouble maker with violent tendencies to show any form of enthusiasm. Nesir didn't mind, since she had been of the opinion most of them had been stupid and she didn't care what people thought of her.

But she had to admit the enthusiasm was nice and quite sweet - though Nesir would deny using that word to describe anyone - Nesir was used to training being stern faces and strict discipline.

"Alright be watching carefully, you do be stepping out the way. That do be the most important part..." She demonstrated the move again on thin air so Rise could watch, stepping to the side and using her body to transfer her weight, flicking her wrist out to hit an imaginary arm.

"That do be good, you do be a fast learner." Nesir grinned at her when she switched sides.

After a little bit more practice she paused, "So now we do be learning to be kicking."

She went back into the stance she had started in, this time shifting her weight onto her back leg, bringing her front leg up off the ground and into her body before kicking forwards. A short snap kick and her foot was back on the ground, her balance equal again.
