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

[swordsinternally]

[ 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. ]

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. ]

[covertizer]

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]

[ 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.

[covertizer]

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]

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]

We could do. Safer than shouting it in a corridor and letting them obviously know what we're planning.

[ Team T&A strike again!! ]

[buriedearth]

[ Best team! ]

Sounds like a plan, then.

[covertizer]

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]

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]

We could hook the piano up to speakers.

[buriedearth]

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]

Where there's a will there's a way.

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