[Have a preppyboy!Bertie, pink shirt, popped collar, and all-- the whole ensemble ought to look ridiculous, but somehow it works. He's sitting at the piano in the school auditorium, attempting to practice a Bach fugue. It's going surprisingly well considering he's not playing a pipe organ, until he reaches a phrase that his fingers stumble over. He

[And Shinji's just kinda... listening.]

You were doing pretty good...

[isayisay]

Hm? Oh, well, I mean, I guess so. Thanks. It's just that one bit...

[Wandering in from the back of the auditorium stage and sits next to the piano, staring up at Bertie]

[Still playing and sort-of-singing:] But it's sooomethiing, something-or-other, something-or-other you--

--oh! [He finishes the bar and stops playing.] Hullo! Something up?

What song are you playing?

[With a good-natured shrug] I could tell you if I knew.

[9ball_wizard]

Keep it up, Bertie! I'm sure you'll get Bach down with some practice.

If you'd like, I can sing along.

[isayisay]

Oh, I've got the bit I need for my lessons. That was just... extra practice, sort of thing.

But that would be fun! Maybe we could do something for the variety show this year.

[9ball_wizard]

I'd love to perform with you! I'm sure I can learn the show tune you were just playing.

[isayisay]

I-- er-- I need to look up the rest of the words, actually. It's from this old revue, Moonlight... whatsits. It's Moonlight something, anyway.
...I'm sure I can find it again.

[[ooc: yeah, I'm totally making this all up. I fail at knowing show tunes even harder than Bertie does.]]

[stellarregions]

The classics get boring after awhile, anyway.

[isayisay]

Well. I mean, I wouldn't call Bach's organ fugues boring, exactly... but I see what you mean.

[stellarregions]

...too many practice drills when I was a kid, maybe. Took a lot of the fun out of that sort of thing.

[isayisay]

Yes... I suppose it would, that. I know there are etudes I'd rather cut my fingers off than play again.

[stardust_legacy]

Good stuff, man.
