it only hurts for a moment - you get used to it quickly

[ After everything's said and done, Shirou's going to go ahead and set things up for today. It's the same as always; nothing has changed-- but he still wants to believe that there's something worth in doing this, so he'll at least go ahead and do that once he's given out notes (or told a person verbally, one on one) under their door, a small neat note stating: ]

    For those who don't want to be alone today:

    I know it's been a hard month. And I know it's probably going to get even more difficult from here. But I don't want anyone to give up just yet. If you'd like, there'll be food and drinks in the simulation room.

    - E.


[ And for those who decide to make the trip to the simulation room, they'll find themselves walking into what seems to be a karaoke bar! Shirou's made it pretty spacious and there is, in fact, a table set up with some food for everyone to take - primarily burgers and ramen (hell, there's a bit of ramen burgers, too, the Biggest Cancer) - that he's made the decision to make, so feel free to take it, and he's willing to even get drinks for everyone, too.

This includes virtual drinks, as he actually has some experience working at a bar, even if it was more menial tasks and less bartending. But hey, there's a first time for everything, yeah?

And there's also the option to sing your heart out-- although that might not be the most appropriate, given the last execution, but he's. He's trying, anyway. ]

[ And now the guitar is busted??

He grimaces for a moment at that...and then his expression turns thoughtful. Terra would, in his position, want to just forget about it. ]


...So, you're trying to still make some good out of the bad.

[ Akira's stronger than he could've ever imagined. ]

[ Very busted. Luckily he got another one, but... uh. Yeah.

Busted. ]


I'm mad at what happened. And I hate that it happened to Maya-chan. But... [ His mouth twists slightly and he sighs. He doesn't think 2-D was a rotten or evil person, and the music he'd played had been beautiful. He'd like to preserve that part, at least. ]

It's really complicated, isn't it? I can't forgive him for what he did to Maya-chan, but I don't think I hate him either.

[ Terra was still angry--did he hate him? He...

His hands clench into fists. He doesn't think he could forgive him either, but--does he hate 2D? He sighs, unclenching his fists...despite his own rage, he doesn't find it within himself to hate 2D, either. Maybe before, during the heat of the moment, but now?

He doesn't think he could. He doesn't know if he could think of 2D as a good person, but... ]


...Maybe it's for the best.

And I guess I might understand it too. [ Because he feels the same. ] I don't think it's for exactly the same reasons, but...enough has happened today.

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-09-09 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It might be easier if I could. But I have good memories with both of them...

[ He sighs, and sets the book down against his knee. ]

Besides, learning to play the guitar seems pretty complicated. At the very least, it's something to focus on and keep me occupied.

[ Terra doesn't think it'd be easier to hate someone, so he supposes it'd be different for each person. If he had the patience, maybe he'd think of giving it try at musical things (spells do not apply), but not only does it require patience but it requires a lot of studying. Which, hahaha, nope. ]

Yeah. I've never learned a musical instrument or anything, but it sounds kind of difficult.

You think? You won't know until you try.

[ He tilts his head, and taps the spine of the book. ]

Lots of people play them, so it can't be impossible.

[ Somehow him saying that makes him want to give it a try anyway. ]

I've never tried, but...

[ His eyebrows furrow a little. ]

I guess giving it a try can't hurt. You got the book from the library, right?
covertizer: (36)

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-09-10 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. There's a really wide variety of books there... it didn't take too long to look for something like this.

[ ... It's daunting, but the book explains it well. He wants to try. ]

Something to take your mind off things. I don't think that's bad.

Maybe I'd pick up something like the cello.

[ Terra has no real reason for it in particular, but he's kind of wondered what it'd be like. ]

...Not only would it be a good distraction, but if we wanted to, we could sometimes practice right outside the office door when Todd's in.

[ To annoy him. ]

If there's one in the music room, then why not? I hear it's supposed to be good for keeping your brain active too.

[ ... OHO. ]

We could get a band together. And play him the classics. I wonder if they have shamisens here, I could play Enka.
buriedearth: (60)

[personal profile] buriedearth 2018-09-11 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He'll laugh a little as he's actually now imagining himself play the cello. ]

I bet everyone back home would find the idea of me playing something like that surprising.

[ ... ]

...A band would be amazing. We'd need to rope in just a few others, right?

And I'm not sure what "Enka" is, but the more annoying the better.

Yeah. I'm sure the others would be into it if we point out that it could annoy the admin. There's a music room so there's no reason not to practice.

[ EXCELLENT. ]
buriedearth: (134)

[personal profile] buriedearth 2018-09-11 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you've got it right. So, what, do we just stick some flyers under people's doors or catch them while they're in the halls to let them know about it?

[ And the best part is, they wouldn't even be breaking a rule! ]
covertizer: (026)

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-09-12 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
We could do. Safer than shouting it in a corridor and letting them obviously know what we're planning.

[ Team T&A strike again!! ]

[ Best team! ]

Sounds like a plan, then.
covertizer: (27)

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-09-13 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Plan "musicality" is underway!

Although I guess we need to divvy out instruments with some sort of logic... we can't just have seven guitars and a cello.
buriedearth: (21)

[personal profile] buriedearth 2018-09-13 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. And I guess piano's out because you can't really haul something that big into the hallway...

[ Like, technically he COULD but. At the same time... ]
covertizer: (031)

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-09-13 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
We could hook the piano up to speakers.
buriedearth: (62)

[personal profile] buriedearth 2018-09-14 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, really?

[ ... He just sort of-- ]

Then looks like that won't be a problem.

[ Rip Todd's eardrums, alas we hardly knew ye. ]
covertizer: (030)

[personal profile] covertizer 2018-09-14 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Where there's a will there's a way.

[ And he has a lot of will to make Todd's life more difficult. ]
