Sept 18th - Ayami's song?

by **Constantine McGraw** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 10:47 pm

Having decided to stay on campus for the rest of the day, Con was perched on the edge of one of the buildings overlooking the quad, guitar in hand.

He was a little sore after his knifework session with Rachel, but after a moment, he rolled his arms and shoulders out and started to play.

He had his coat off, but the two sheathed knives he was wearing wouldn't be readily apparent.The rigging for his back sheath was concealed under his t-shirt and the knife he'd brought for practice was in concealed in his boot.

Looking up at Con starting to play from the quad she stops and listens to him play for a bit. After a while she breaks up and flies up to the rooftop, reassembling herself next to Con.

"Would you mind if we try to sing along?"

by **Constantine McGraw** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 4:11 am

"You know the words?" Con asked, sounding surprised.

by **Teri Napliotis** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 4:20 am

"No, but that's not important." She smiles before collapsing into a pile of bugs, spreading out over the rooftop.

After a few testing chirps the grasshoppers start to "sing" along, letting individual chirps flow into each other to generate longer notes to back up Con's guitar. After a while she seems to be getting a better feel for the song and starts providing a backdrop of several different voices to Con's playing.

Okaaaaay.. that wasn't what I was expecting Con thought, wondering if Teri knew the song she was 'singing' along to was one about a monster.

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:51 am

It's hard to judge a swarm of insects, but if Teri knows the song she apparently doesn't care about the monster thematic. In fact, she seems rather at ease for a pile of usually very twitchy bugs.

Con chuckled inwardly as he finished up Godzilla and moved seemlessly into a new song.

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 8:47 am

It takes Teri a while but after a while of singing along she seems to recognize the song and a few loud chirps mix into her 'concert'. It could be in protest, but since she doesn't stop completely it seems more like an attempt at laughing, especially as several handful of locust swarm up independently of each other and start 'dancing' frantically in twisting spiral patterns.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:12 pm

Con closed his eyes, concentrating on the music. Teri's 'singing' wasn't a problem, but the locusts flying around were a little distracting.

Finishing up Creeping Death, he moved on to something by Slayer

Mercy walks over to see the music that afternoon, and stands bemusedly watching the insect chorus line.

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:20 pm

As Con moves on to Slayer she gives up after a few seconds of trying, the song not having enough of a clear enough melody to go on and a bit too fast for her to keep up as well, so the insects sit still while she listens to him play.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:26 pm

Con didn't hear Mercy's approach immediately, but once Teri's 'singing' stopped, his ears picked out the unexpected additional sound.

Finishing up the song, he opened his eyes and looked to see who it was.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:29 pm

Mercy claps briefly. "Don't stop on my account."

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:34 pm

"Any requests?" Con asked, resting his hand lightly on the strings.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:39 pm

"Most of the music I'd request needs a whole band, but I liked what you were doing there." Mercy creates a pool of Darkforce with a small rise on one end, and sits down on it, leaning against the little rise.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:02 pm

"Slayer would normally have a full band too." Con pointed out. "I'll see what I can do though."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:33 pm

"Surprise me. And the rest of the auditorium." She motions to indicate the bugs.

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:34 pm

The bugs let out a single synchronized chirp.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:43 pm

"Alright." Con replied, lips quirking into a smile as he returned to BOC

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:51 pm

At the much better suited song the locust chime in again, this time trying to emulate the lyrics.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 4:32 pm

Mercy grins, and lounges as she listens to the song.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 4:55 pm

"Evidently locusts don't thrash." Con said, sounding amused.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 5:02 pm

"Just thresh, I guess."

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 5:09 pm

"A comedian too huh?" Con chuckled, picking out the opening of another song.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 6:10 pm

"Aren't we all?"

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 6:13 pm

"Possibly." Con agreed. "Although, if those vamp fuckers that took Ayami thought it was funny, I'm not getting the joke."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 6:44 pm

"Ugh, don't remind me."

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 6:47 pm

"It's a little hard to forget. I'd imagine all the teams are just waiting for the call."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 7:00 pm

"I'm sure they are, but there's nothing I can do about it, so I don't want to just dwell on it and feel helpless."

by **Constantine McGraw** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 7:03 pm

"That's why I came up here. It was either that or sit in the bar all afternoon."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 7:23 pm

"Drinking sounds good at this point."

by **Constantine McGraw** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:10 am

"I'm waiting on a call, but one of the XUBs must serve coffee." Con replied, packing up his guitar.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:15 am

"I'm organizing a party for tonight. Will you come?"

by **Constantine McGraw** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:22 am

"We'll see." Con replied, unwilling to commit to anything until he knew who, if anyone, was getting called out for a rescue.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:24 am

"Well I hope you do. I'm supposed to meet somebody soon for the actual setting up. It'll be in the dorm commons."

by **Constantine McGraw** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:36 am

"What time?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 10:55 am

As Con packs up his guitar and talks to Mercy Teri takes to the air, happily chirping away with a song more suited to her musical abilities as the swarm flies in figures around the quad.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:30 pm

"Starts around dusk!" Mercy calls back as she takes off.

by **Constantine McGraw** » Thu Apr 02, 2009 1:43 pm

Con nodded in response, picking up the guitar case and stepping off the roof, plumetting to the ground below.

His knees bending slighly as he hit, he walked off as if it had been nothing more than a large step.
