39... kiss your dreams

[ The dynamic duo are at it again, this time they are sitting on the stage of the High School auditorium. Ryuichi is sitting spread eagle on the edge of the stage, a mic stand between his legs, and Tohma is standing at the key board plugging something into the computer. Ryuichi leans back, sliding his hands down the pole and licks his lips, and Tohma just shakes his head at the display and flips a switch. ]

Are you ready?

I have been waiting forever and ever, Tohma!

Now, Ryuichi. Do not make me put my synth away.

You wouldn't, right?

I would not if you behave.

Okay! I'll be good!

[ Tohma nods, his usual plastic smile not so plastic as it is satisfied and starts playing this not-so-work-safe song. As Ryuichi sings with the song, he also acts it out, but he at least keeps his clothes on in the end. He nods once the music is done, picks up Kumagoro and tosses the pink bunny at the communicator. It falls over, giving everyone a nice view of the ceiling and a pink ear and muffles the murmuring of two voices in the background. After a while, it times out. ]

[Sounds of her fumbling around trying to find words.]

...Wh-...

[Too busy blushing.]

[singsingbluesilver]

Hi there!

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

H-hi- WAIT! What...what...are you a performer here?!

[singsingbluesilver]

Well, not really? We sort of started playing our music here because this place is just way too dull and needs some sparkly music to help remind people that we can't always be about gloom and doom!

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

[Obviously still flustered.]

O-oh! That looked pretty...professional...to me. Have you been doing this for long?

It's nice to see something that reminds me of my old world, though!

[singsingbluesilver]

We're a big name band back home! Tohma and Noriko and I are Nittle Grasper, world famous rockers extraordinaire!

We've been rocking since we were in school!

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

World-famous?? Where did you live? I thought maybe you were from Japan, but I don't think I've heard of you...

B-but you're really good! I like your music...

[singsingbluesilver]

We are... but the funny thing about this place is that we could have come from a totally different world than yours but still have the same language and stuffs.

Thanks! I love hearing people enjoying my music.

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

That's incredible... To think there's actually alternate universes.

N-no problem! Do... you um... give lessons, possibly? Maybe?

[singsingbluesilver]

Yeah but I figured that we always had them cuz inspiration comes from somewhere - maybe even from another world.

Lessons? In how to sing? Dance? Treacle?

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

Heh. That's an interesting way of looking at things.

Oh... um... singing?

[singsingbluesilver]

Yup!

I can try? I never really done that before!

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

Whoa, really!? I'd love to try... I don't know how good I'll be at it, but I'll do my best!

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

Did you enjoy the performance?

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

I'm still trying to understand what I just saw...

[Not sure she wants to admit she did.]

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ Oh he knows you did. ]

Ryuichi can be a little bold, but I don't think it detracts from the performance at all.

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

[Sound of her obviously fumbling with the device in order to belatedly mute what she has already said. Is just too flustered.]

L-look are you sure you should just be broadcasting that to ANYONE! I mean, what if kids see that?!

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

There's nothing I can do about that, I'm afraid. I did what I could; just know it could have been a lot "worse."

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

..."w-worse"!?

[How could it possibly be "worse"?]

U-um.. So, so wait...

Who are you?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

Seguchi Tohma, lead keyboardist for the band Nittle Grasper.

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

Tohma-san... It's nice to meet you. My name's Kaname Chidori.

Where did you record this here? I didn't know there was such a place.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, too, Chidori-san.

It was a live performance~ I just happened to have most of my equipment with me.

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

I have to admit it's nice to see a performance like that. It makes me feel a bit more normal.

Do you guys...ever do music lessons...or anything?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

Were you abnormal to begin with?

[...]

I don't. Ryuichi might be interested, though. You'll have to ask him.

[bonta-whisperer.livejournal.com]

Ah! I didn't mean it like that! Just that being in this weird place, it was nice to see something that I woulda seen back home!

[Sighs.]

R-really? I... Okay... maybe I'll try asking him then...
