Summary: Rose takes some time to play her violin she received back.

[It had been a while since Rose had been able to use her violin-- how long had she been here, now? Five months? Such a long time to be out of practice.
Thus, you may find Rose playing this song on floor four, eyes closed and body engrossed in the music.
Dare you approach?]

[Of course Kanaya dares to approach, but she's polite enough to wait until Rose is finished with the piece. As Rose finishes, Kanaya applauds politely]

That was lovely.

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

[Rose opens one eye to look at her, violin still in place.]

Any requests?

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head lightly] Anything you wish to play I will listen to, you are quite good and I enjoy watching. I don't recall you having your violin, was this your reward?

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I suppose I'm one of the few lucky participators who recieved something satisfactory.

[Her lips quirk into a small smile-- She didn't know if Kanaya would recognize this one, but it'd be funny. She starts playing the following (http://youtu.be/uoW4OngjiEU), albeit minus support music.]

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[Kanaya has never heard it before, but she does enjoy it!] My, I wasn't expecting so upbeat yet haunting at the same time.

[There is no dare about it, for obviously Dave is the most daring daredevil who ever dared.
Just look at his name, only one letter off from dare. Da-r-ve.]

Hey, sweet, you got your ukulele back.

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

It's called Thriller. [She smiles a little.] Here, I will play you something more recent in the human musical charts. [they totally had this song in 2007 what are you even talking about (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB0WG2-hFtc)]

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

I'm not even going to bother correcting your abhorrent disregard for the proper names for classical musical instruments. After all, all your music is electronic.

[She pauses for a moment, thinking.]

I've never performed for you in person. I suppose this calls for a special dedication for my dear, dear friend. [Silly pop culture music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7jBX4DdXIw)]

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[Kanaya sits in the grass and straightens her skirt] I enjoyed Thriller, is it an older song? [She closes her eyes to listen to her next song, smiling and nodding her head a bit to the music, it's beautiful.] I believe that was my favorite piece so far, it was very beautiful, what is it called?

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

It is. The creator of said song is recently deceased. [When she finishes her song, she answers Kanayas next question.]

Just the Way You Are. It is a love song, of sorts.

[parappa-strider.livejournal.com]

Oh dude, those are some seriously volatile beats you're laying down right there. You're going to blow me away with all those explosives you're packing. [And the puns don't stop.]

I think this is seriously calling for a sweet jam session.

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

Are you suggesting a duet, Strider?

MJ died during my HS graduation

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, was he someone you knew? [What is human culture, why are you so confusing]

[she takes a moment to consider her words] How can it be sort of love song?

i remember i was playing Ragnarok Online the day he died and just shrugged and kept farming

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

[She's just gonna... ignore the first part, and shrug to the second.]

It's pop culture. However, it is of a sort of romantic nature.

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly, midgets.]

[Seriously. There's some kid listening to you play from the doorway, Rose. He doesn't look like he's going anywhere any time soon, either.]

best story

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

So it being pop culture somehow makes it less romantic even though the song is of a romantic nature. [Oh. Rose is playing her kind of? love songs]

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

Essentially.

[Doo doo changing the subject (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF_pv04MoJY) doo doo dooo]

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

Was that also a love song? [not letting it go]

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately, Ienzo is just in time to see Dave come along and start a duet of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9p_Kti_ysU) song with Rose.]

[parappa-strider.livejournal.com]

You know it, Lalonde.

[And with a quick retrieval of his mixer, it is time to get these sick beats turned ON.]

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

[And they proceeded to have the stupidest duet in the history of paradox space. (http://towerofanimus.livejournal.com/71112.html?thread=5683144#t5683144)]

[parappa-strider.livejournal.com]

[Oh yeah, this is seriously stupid shit, but oh my god it is the best stupidest shit.]

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

...?

[This sounds... vaguely familiar... except not...]

[Bluh. Where has he heard this before?]

[isnotagiraffe.livejournal.com]

[Taiki follows the music, lots of people in the tower are musical, they sing or play instruments. It's very pretty. If Rose looked up she would see a tiny little boy wrapped in a cloak that looked like it belonged to a large adult stood in the doorway watching the girl play the violin.]

[nursenotweapon.livejournal.com]

[It's been a while since Soul's listened to violin music. Mainly due to his passive-aggressive relations with his older brother. So needless to say he freaks out just a little when he hears it, only to calm down when he realizes it's a young girl playing instead. He waits for her to finish, lingering nearby.]

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

Not that I am aware of, no.

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

[Rose pauses as the last few notes echo through the room, eyes closed and body swaying until they rang out.
It was then she let them flutter open, eyes resting on the child hovering by the doorway.]

Hello.

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

[Upon her songs finish she lowers her violin, turning to look at Soul with a quirk of her brow.]

I do not believe I've seen you around here before, have I?

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

Oh, um, what's your favorite song to play?

[nursenotweapon.livejournal.com]

[He flinches slightly when he realizes he's been seen, raising a hand to scratch his head before glancing off to the side.]

Y-yeah, I just...um, got here. A day ago or so.

[isnotagiraffe.livejournal.com]

Hello [He shuffled his feet nervously and clutched Gyousou's cloak tighter around him] Sorry I disturbed you... you play really well.

[terranities.livejournal.com]

[He had been just passing by, gathering more information, and the last thing he had been expecting to hear were the strains of violin strings.

Stepping closer, he listened quietly, not wanting to disturb.]

[dogtear]

[ and Jadesprite does approach! well, she's kind of listening from behind a wall, actually. this Rose doesn't know her personally and she doesn't want to be a bother... but the music is too pretty to pass by unnoticed. ]
