[Netbook] ♧ ♣

[timidheart]

[This Journal entry seems written with something of a nervous script. After a few ink blots of hesitation the words begin-]

Ah, if you would pardon this intrusion. I know that ...many of us have spoke of gathering together to practice or discuss music. I- [You can do it Mayoi. Do the thing. Organize the social gathering.]

I would like to formally organize such a gathering! We can hold it perhaps at the shrine, or where ever is most comfortable for several people! I can gather together refreshments and "Jam" as we've talked about before.

If anyone is still interested of course...!

You seem a bit nervous. Are you alright?

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I haven't had a proper crew to sing with in some time, so I (a perfect stranger to most people here) would like to attend. I can teach anyone who joins Iberian sea shanties and dances, including salsa or tango.

[timidheart]

Yes, though I strive to be personable because of my ah ...duties, I am really not very good at talking to groups of people, or strangers, or handling social gatherings, or being seen....

...Oh? I know a few sea shanties myself, I would be very interested in yours! Ah...and to learn more about salsa and tango.

[sailingfor]

I am also socially awkward. At least according to my partner from back home.

[Elysium is right, Thorns is very socially inept.]

Bueno. I'll be sure to attend. Though, do you have any instruments? Should I see the shopkeeper first?

[timidheart]

I prefer to comfort of the shadows but ...I am trying to be better about standing in the light. It's hard to speak to others when I was once so used to simply watching.

[It's okay Thorns, Mayoi understands. He grew up in a cave.]

I am not in possession of anything myself, though perhaps I might see Heimr-san about a keyboard.

[sailingfor]

If I may, what style of music do you prefer, normally?

[timidheart]

Oh, well, I like maaaany different kinds of music! You might say that I am the sort of person who likes to learn everything I can, fufu.

Though I suppose if I had a preference for such a thing ...I like darker music, things that tell haunting stories. Our own unit has a rock style, though we experiment with different sounds quite a lot.

[sailingfor]

Ah, my partner likes rock music, though I wouldn't say either of us listen to "dark" rock music in particular.

[timidheart]

Yes, it is not as ah, popular as other forms of music, I'm sure. Visual Kei is a popular style of it where I am from.

ALKALOID, or rather, my unit, our music can be seen as uplifting more often than not, which is also important to me. A style that does not shy from life's hardship, but implores one to keep going anyway.

[sailingfor]

Terra has Visual Kei, but it's more of a Higashinese thing. You don't hear it often in Iberia. I do know what you're referring to now, though. Do you still wear the intricate outfits?

[timidheart]

Higashinese...I wonder how similar to the Japan that I know this place might be.

Ah, yes! We wear complicated outfits for the stage frequently. Though, some units are more flashy than others, some of ours are really quite stunning if I do say so myself.

[sailingfor]

They may be similar. Mizuki is from Higashi. You might speak to him sometime, because he could tell you far better than I could.

In any case, am I to expect you'll be dressed up for this meetup? :)

[timidheart]

Oh! Mizuki-san! Yes, that would make sense. Ah ...I don't know if I can show my face to that person after the disgraceful questionnaire I submitted. I think I should rather wither into nothing.

...EH? Oh, well. Ah. I ...suppose I could come up with something! I would be a wretched idol without a proper outfit...

[love_swan]

[ He is SO FUCKING EXCITED ]

YES.

Mayo-san are we gonna sing together again?

[ Can you feel the puppy eyes boring into you? ]

[timidheart]

Of course we are, Aira-san. How could I say no to you when you look at me like that, fufufu.

[He can, it's very cute.]

[love_swan]

Yaaay! ♡♡♡♡

[ sue him he's missed performing. He practices daily still. ]

Should we decide a song now? We'd probably have to adapt whatever we pick.

[timidheart]

My pool of knowledge is a little smaller than yours, but I do have a fondness for our earliest songs. Kiss of Life would be hard to do without the other two, but perhaps ...Tsubasa Moritorium?

[love_swan]

We can definitely do that one! We might have to rework some of the harmony parts but I think it's doable.

Tsubasa Moratorium is one of my favorites~

[ In no small part due to the song's meaning. He thinks its a good song for the others to hear too. ]

[timidheart]

Harmony is a very important aspect of our songs its true, but I think for this song, it will be the easiest to shift from four to two.

It is one of my favorites too, fufufu. I have often sung it to myself.

[But good he has plans already for how to make that work. Trainer mode activated.]

[beathollow]

( wherever he's sitting with the notebook, he's going to get a mafuyu to kiss his cheek because she is very proud of him! )

[timidheart]

[MAFU KISSE. He perks right up, after being a wilted little flower.]

Did it sound okay...? I'm no good at this sort of thing.

[outofsynth]

I'd be interested. Especially now I have my big synth back again.

[timidheart]

Ah! That is wonderful news! I'll begin working on the preparations...

[outofsynth]

Great. Just let us know when and where. Ryan and I are definitely interested.

[unheiring]

If you are not set on the temple, I will gladly offer the Watchtower. I do not believe anyone here is below the age limit, and I do not mind preparing snacks for you all.

If nothing else, I would love to host performances for any of you if you put something cohesive together. This town could use a little more revelry, don't you think?

[timidheart]

[Oh, that is a very good proposal, actually. In fact, perhaps that is the ideal? Being so loud in Ourania-sama's temple did strike him as ...ah, maybe not something they should do, but he was coming up short on other options.]

[The drinking age question, though...]

I...well. Perhaps one isn't of age, but that would depend on what you consider the proper age. Where I am from, that age is 20, and my unitmate is certainly younger than that.

That aside, I very much agree that we could use something uplifting in these times. You offering your venue IS very tempting...ah, would it not be too much trouble...?

[fluffiestsoul]

I'm curious, but I worry I might be a touch out of place. Nothing worse than the old man trying to hang out with the younger crowd, right?

[timidheart]

Oh! While I suppose we may be younger in age, I don't see a reason to exclude you if you're interested! Ah ...music touches the hearts of many no matter the age, and passion knows no such thing, correct...?

Of course there is no pressure to come by... but we would certainly not turn you away!
