A Little Night(?) Music

Who: Towa and OPEN
When: 7/12
Where: The Haven, in an open clearing
What: Local busybody saves time practicing by practicing two things at once-- come listen to some music and see a show while you're at it.
Warnings: None.



[As a witch who has focused primarily on creating and perfecting illusions more than any other form of magic, there's always been this little idea in her mind-- something she'd like to do, ever since she began learning to play the piano.

Today she's brought her keyboard outside to give listeners a taste of something that will really tickle the senses. You may hear the music first, but when you look, you'll also see an illusion that projects a beautiful starry night although it's definitely still daytime... or was, last you checked.

There's also a playful flurry of falling stars and other astronomical wonders that play out across the sky-- beautiful, vibrant colors that ebb and flow with her playing. If she's caught your attention, she'll look up and smile cheerfully with an offer.

If you have some suggestions, I'd be happy to change my tune a little.

[Whether it's a visual or a certain musical vibe you're feeling-- she'll do her best to match your wishes.

[Illusions, what illusions. Her compound eyes cannot see shit- Oh there's a slight flicker of something if she squints at were some random onlooker was looking at. That explained a few things as the parent urging their amazed child away from the show.

The fae blinked at the spot, as the already faint image faded. Then there's another brief flicker of colour as another song was started. It gets a small birdsong like noise from Mikasa as her eyes closed and she tilted her head. Antenna flopping forward, ears giving small wiggles as they guided her. Letting out small little chirps as she got closer to the source of the noise, stepping lightly. It was quite a skip, she was still walking...But there was a slight spring in her step.

She's so emersed that she just walks straight into the side of the keyboard.]

[The moving things, the board, Towa's hands. That's what gets her attention first. The fae's head tilting to watch the movement as the rest of her stills.

...Movement....Yes...

The words get a few rapid blinks. Then her head jerks slightly from the hands to the witch's face.]
Hello. [It's awkwardly clipped even to her ears. Very definitely not having a feral lapse there and trying to cover her own ass.]

I...I didn't know you played.

[10/10 nailed it.]

[Them big black fae eyes just stare, blinking at the giggle.]

Yeah...I'm not good at that stuff even if I tried a lesson. [She frowns slightly then her face softens. It wasn't that she'd been bad at playing. Timing and tightly controlled movements and breathing came naturally to her. Show her a piece and she could mimic it, but it lacked any feeling. But she nods at the witch.] You're good though. It sounded warm.

[Is that how someone would describe music? It is now.]
