two: action/voice

[lunarepriestess]

[Chikane has located the Seventh Heaven, spruced it up and whatnot. Necessary pots and pans are now present in the kitchen. Even so... she was tempted to play the piano there-- and did so. However, she was browsing recent entries in the book and left it open, meaning it's now broadcasting Chikane playing this song via the voice feature. She found

[Haruki is walking down the street, down the street... And then he hears a piano. Idly, he assumes it must e Hayato because that's the only person he knows in Luceti who pianos it up. But on hearing it, he wanders over the Seventh Heaven and...

...Whoa. She's already there]

[lunarepriestess]

[Playing, playing, playi-- ...oh. Is that-- She stops and smiles at him.]

Good afternoon.

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Grunt, and then he walks in a bit further, shoving his hands in his coat pockets there. It's chilly, after all]

'Afternoon.

[lunarepriestess]

[Her own hands are still on the keys she last played.]

Can I help you with something?

[god_is_a_dude]

[He walks on over and is just going to take up a seat at one of the tables. At the head of one them - the big one that he often used to use for the Brigade all together and that stuff.

But then he shrugs and-] You're open already?

[lunarepriestess]

[...She pauses there-- while Chikane likes being in control of herself, this isn't really "her" place. To buy herself some thinking time, she plays a few notes--]

I'm not sure. Though I doubt Mr. Strife would mind much if I began using the kitchen. From the sound of it, he wanted the place to at least be used.

[She pauses there, again, and a few more notes]

So in a manner of speaking, I guess I am.

[god_is_a_dude]

Well I mean... The kitchen stocked and what have you?

[...That's the same vibe he got from Cloud, actually. He plays with his bangs here, idly. Tugging on them. Today he's got on the gay yellow headband. Idly, he notices that she... well she has the same one. Odd. He can't see her wings well from this angle though.

Hmm]

[lunarepriestess]

Not incredibly so. But enough to accomdate a few curious cats.

[Which she means literally, she brought a lot of fish in particular for stock here.]

[god_is_a_dude]

...Jeez, what's with that type of joke?

[He just... stares. That was a horrible joke as far as he heard it]

[lunarepriestess]

A metaphor. You came in like a curious cat, didn't you?

[Smiiile. And shifting through the piano sheets...]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...A cat. Him, a cat? What is this- Oh well, he pauses a bit and then... well he decides to fall silent here. Well, fall silent after leaning back in his chair such that it is on two legs and he kicks his own legs up on the table like a badass]

[lunarepriestess]

[Oh, fine, Haruki, be that way.

She'll take up piano again, leaning in a little more to eye the notes on this paper. She then leans back a little and begins playing a different song]

[god_is_a_dude]

[He listens to that for a time, closing his eyes and, well if he wasn't sitting like this he would be shrugging. This is a pretty song, isn't it? Chikane's also a skilled pianist... Hmm.

...Then after the sound gets about half way through his opens his eyes. Quite rapidly. He doesn't say anything just yet, and the beat is different and without vocals it's a bit hard to tell but-

There's no way she could know, is there? They are from the same time, but she's not even from the same city as him, let alone the same school-]

[lunarepriestess]

[She catches that sudden surprise, however quickly it comes, and stops playing.]

Haruki?

[There's quite a bit of concern on her face and in her voice. That was a rather strange reaction.]

[god_is_a_dude]

Don't stop! Keep playing that!

[He needs to make sure. He needs to be sure that-]

[lunarepriestess]

[She eyes him for a moment, weighing him, before leaning in on the sheet and eyeing it instead. She then places her fingers on the appropriate keys, and playing again. She's watching him as best she can while making sure she plays it correctly, though]
