Umm... what just happened? I had this huge headache and everything and now I'm in a closet. A full closet of smelly stuff... Oh wait, I think I'm a hospital closet. Why am I in this closet and not in one back home?

Hey, is everyone out there still? I'm not hiding in here because of a huge zombie attack, right?



[ ooc; Ryuichi will pretend he doesn't remember getting two personas like he did. He doesn't want people to remember that at all. ]

[ video ]

[ Ryuichi loves the video function of his communicator a lot, doesn't he? This time around, he is sitting on the edge of the stage at the High School auditorium, strumming his guitar. He's got a fuzzy pink jacket on over a worn shirt and his hair has been combed back into a sloppy ponytail. A few strands have escaped free and they curl against his cheeks. The communicator is pointed up at him, although the body of a guitar covers half of the view. After a few moments of strumming a few chords, he launches into an acoustic version of this song. That song morphs into another song before Ryuichi gets tired of that and sets the guitar down. Unfortunately for the viewing world, he sets it down on top of the communicator, but at least he didn't turn it off. ]

So another year older, huh? That makes it what? Same age as him? Older? No... younger. But still...

Winter marches on.

You know, someone seriously needs to tell the Snowzilla to stop being an ass. We get it, we know you're here, now go chew on a power line. Not that we have power lines, but this is getting old already. Seriously it's like no one ever lived through monster season before. It'll pass. It will pass...

...Tohma? Are you okay? You were over there, right?



[ooc; full-on jerk mode get! Ryu has come unhinged the past few days, hunger+being worried+homicidal thoughts = his royal divaness. Enjoy. ]

[ action ]

[ Ryuichi is sitting on the edge of the high school auditorium's stage, beating his feet against the wood while strumming a guitar. If he has noticed that there were branches of mistletoe all around him, he doesn't show it. Instead, he seems far more interested in his guitar, and after a few starts, he starts to sing this song. ]

The mistletoe hung in the castle hall,
The holly branch shone on the old oak wall;
And the baron's retainers were blithe and gay,
And keeping their Christmas holiday.
The baron beheld with a father's pride
His beautiful child, young Lovell's bride.
While she with her bright eyes seemed to be
The star of the goodly company.
Oh, the mistletoe bough,
Oh, the mistletoe bough.

( more of the song here )

[ After he finishes that song, he puts the guitar down and stretches, looking up. ]

Well, I guess I'm surrounded. They must have been really good ninjas to sneak so much mistletoe around me.


[OOC: Okay, so anyone in the high school or who just wanders on in can interact with Ryuichi. Otherwise he will respond in voice for everyone else. ]

[ voice | Japanese ]

I never really thought about the holidays that much. Usually it's so busy that they just end up another day with the added bonus of singing for free. But I guess that's what I am doing here, right? Singing for charity...

Anyways, I'm looking for this monk I know, goes by the name of Tatsuha. I've heard he's suppose to be staying with his brother but I bet that it's a little crowded considering he's got to hang around Shuichi and Eiri. Maybe I can take him for a walk, right? I bet that would be nice of me.

Oh! Tohma! I'm gonna see about getting a chalkboard. That way your paper is safe and I think a guitar would be nice too. I just need to say hi to the scientists people, right?

[ voice | English ]

I guess what they say is true. Talent can be found in the weirdest places. Thanks again everyone that came to our little talent search. If anyone is still interested in joining us, please inform myself or Tohma about your interest. We're still on the look out for people who can manage those with more talent than common sense. Because rock and rollers don't always know what's best for them, and managers do! Even if it includes getting the star up at five in the morning using a bazooka smack to the head!

So anyways, if you need a listening to or a showing off, just leave one of us a message, and we'll arrange a face-to-face cuz those work better than over the communicator thing. Also! Newly arrived and still a performer of some kind? Give me a jingle here and I'll get Tohma involved.

Thanks for listening!

[ He repeats it in Japanese before signing off. ]

So, I've heard there was some kind of band around here, although it's missing its key ingredient. And then the whole chorus thing was okay, but man, I guess it's not my thing, you know? I'd quit that scene ages ago after we'd gone triple platinum.

Anyways, I was wondering what do other people do in this place besides running around crying about monsters and no food and no lights and stuff? How many people are in a band? Are there doctors and repairman here? And why do I think this is a crappy episode of Gillian's Island?
