So I've been working on a whole bunch of songs with Tohma! It's been really cool and interesting and say, here's some lyrics!

Take apart my love through this silent pain.
Slowly melting within a collapsed star, forever entangled
Light sucking sound I draw closer forever connected in this endless void.
Your voice pressing deeper I cannot pull away...

Cool right? Well, I think it's cool. So it's cool!

OH! Souji! Hang in there and don't let the doctors poke at you too much!

[ 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. ]

SHUICHI!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU WORKING ON SONGS? CAN I SEE?

I had a lot of fun, Tatsuha! Thanks for all your help! I'm sorry I dropped that last bag on your foot though, but the bat thingies were being really mean about my hair. OH! And are we on for moving a few things from that one apartment? I think we can really use a different table and it's too much just for me to carry all by myself. Anyone else want to help out? I promise I won't drop anything else on people's feet!

Umm, scientist guys? I would like to have a chalkboard and some chalk and maybe a guitar? That way I'm not always wasting paper that should be used for more important things.

Tohma! I finished the song! Let's find a piano and play out the harmony!

[ voice | Japanese ]

[ There's a rustle of paper and then you hear Ryuichi singing. ]

yasashi sa yori tsuyoi chikara wo
suketa ai ni kanjiteru
doko demo yuku nan ni demo naru
kimi no yami ni furesasete

OFF kara ON ni kiri kaeta machi ga yoru wo te guri yoseru
akke nai kyou no ketsumatsu wo tsuki tsukete

So what does everyone think so far? It sounds good, right? Course, we'll need to work on the arrangement first to really play it... So back to work we go! If you wanna hear more, you'll have to wait until we're done, but I can sing other stuff.


[OOC; The song's by a nice little J-pop group called Iceman.]

Anyone have a request? I'm dying of boredom here and no one has blown up a building or tried kidnapping Shuichi and myself and there's no American manager waving guns around or any keyboardist being his fluffy evil self to keep me occupied.

How many people are doing a band thing here? I haven't heard or seen one around, though I have heard a couple people over these fake phones doing stuff like that. Wasn't this place suppose to have one? I was just wondering...
