Hi From Your Roommate! past_returns January 29 2010, 03:26:11 UTC

Jeremie sat cross-legged on his own bed, leaning back against the wall. He had a rather thick book on illusions balanced on his knee with one hand while his other hand was taking notes of anything that might be useful.

He really didn't mind the violin playing. It was better than the two obnoxious roommates who weren't actually there. Those former students had left some serious echoes in this room.

Why hello there roomie! musikjugend January 29 2010, 18:07:29 UTC

Truth be told, Roderich only barely noticed his roommate. He was quiet and unobtrusive and offered neither complaint nor criticism. He hadn't really had a chance to talk to the other boy, but he wasn't going to interrupt what seemed to be a study session if the book was any indication. Once the first song was over he paused, flipping through his sheet music to find something else for him to play. "I don't suppose you have any requests?" He said, almost off-handedly, not sure if Jeremie would be interested in asking for something. Or even just tell him to be quiet so that he could do some more studying.

Jeremie lifted his head up, a bit surprised at the sudden loss of music. He blinked at his roommate, ignoring the people not really there. "Huh? Oh, uh, no. What you're playing is fine."

He turned his attention back to the book, frowning at a particularly difficult passage. Ugh.

Roderich wasn't the sort to interrupt much, and since Jeremie seemed quite busy he simply nodded, with a quiet "very well" finding his sheet music for "Fur Elise" and setting it up to play. True, it was supposed to be a piano piece, but it actually transferred to violin quite well. He was tempted to add a piano accompaniment to it, but no, to him at least that would be cheating. So instead he played it without, as a solo, quietly, so as not to disturb Jeremie's studying.

Jeremie was distracted as he said, "I know I've never asked before, but what's your power?"

It was possible that his roommate's studies might overlap at some point with his.

Well, he had thought of adding the piano into his playing, hadn't he? And it seemed to be simpler to show people than to explain, and so he turned to face Jeremie, lifting his bow from the violin and continuing the song, but in piano, the way it had originally been written. "I find it tends to be simpler to demonstrate than explain" he said, as the music played around them. And possibly, as much as he disliked the doubt his powers cast on his own abilities, he did like to show them off.

Jeremie raised his head in surprise at the sudden change in instrument. Then a small smile twitched across his lips.

"That's incredible. It's like you're your own accompanist."

He didn't doubt Roderich's abilities with the violin since the Italian did periodically practice in their room. Jeremie severely doubted he'd use his abilities to show off if he had only his roommate for an audience.

musikjugend February 6 2010, 07:38:53 UTC

Roderich smiled a bit "Thank you. It is, isn't it? Though I haven't actually tried to duet with myself yet." He could do more than one instrument with his abilities, indeed he could replicate an entire orchestra, but he hadn't used his abilities while he was playing. At least not yet.

"What are your abilities then?" he asked setting the violin down in it's case and leaning against the wall. He had seen the other boy studying quite a bit, but even looking (not in a prying way of course) at his schoolbooks wasn't really enough to tell him what his ability was.

past_returns February 7 2010, 16:10:01 UTC

"Well, if you ever need an audience while you practice, I'm willing to listen."

The twitchy smile turned nervous. "It's...uh...'memory immersion'. Sometimes if I'm in a room or touch someone or something, I pick up on memories associated to whatever the trigger was. I can direct it to a certain extent, but when it triggers itself, it tends not to go well."
