Moe singers unite \o\

[shybassist]

[Mio just happened to be conveniently in the area working on her newest song still when she hears the song being sang. And of course she has to go investigate and claps softly when she finishes, smiling shyly.]

You sing really well.

It's too bad Mio isn't in vocal.

[lolifang_tan]

[Startled, Ranka tore her gaze away from the lake to see who was there, her hair flying up on instinct before calming down when she saw that it was another girl from the school. Didn't they have Control together?]

You're Mio, right? You startled me a little sorry.

[An after thought blush spread over her cheeks as the praise finally registered.] Thanks.

[Ephemeral though the sight is, Sasori can't help but be both soothed and inspired by the last gasp of autumn splendor that surrounds him while he walks along the lakeside. He huddles into his jacket, finding solace from his concerns in the beauty of the brilliant gold and red foliage that surrounds him.

The sound of the wind whispering through the trees is soon joined by a singing voice, and curious, Sasori follows the sound to find Ranka. He chooses to observe and listen quietly until her song is finished rather than interrupt; it's just as calming as the natural spectacle he'd been enjoying beforehand.

He smiles.]

That was quite lovely. You truly have a talent for singing.

[lolifang_tan]

[Her hair flicks up just a tiny bit at the sound of another person, but it's only a slight motion as she recognized his voice instantly.]

Sasori! Thanks! I didn't realize anyone else was out here.

[She doesn't mind though and gives him a small smile before her eyes drift back to the lake. The lake was especially beautiful tonight between the reflection of the darkening sky and the bright fall foliage surrounding it.]

Sometimes when I'm alone I just can't help but sing, it's almost like if I didn't I'd burst for keeping it all inside.

[usedpoisonsting]

I was just taking a walk myself. The view here was far too captivating for me to resist.

[He moves to stand next to her, his own gaze also shifting back to the lake. Both the beauty of the vista before him and Ranka's song have relaxed him, moreso than he's been in some time, and it shows.]

I understand that feeling well. It's always been the same for me and my art, ever since I was very little. Once inspiration strikes, I can't rest until I've expressed it by creating something new.

[lolifang_tan]

I hadn't meant to go out so far, but it's so nice out. I hadn't noticed how pretty the lake was before tonight.

[She lapsed into silence for a while, just enjoying the view and the company. Slowly the fact that it's cold is catching up to her but she's pushing this knowledge off as best as she can not wanting it to spoil the moment. It was rare to see him so comfortable seeming and she didn't want to mess that up for him.]

Mmmhm! [She nods, glad that at least someone understands how it can get.] I'm trying to be more open with it. It wasn't too long ago that I didn't want anyone to hear me sing at all.

[listennlearn]

[Spin was wandering in the area when he caught ear of the melody. It's a very pretty tune, and he of course has to stop and listen. He can't help but wonder for a moment just how many Japanese singers are in the school.]

[She's in Vocal class, isn't she? Spin doesn't want to interrupt, but he is enjoying listening, so he stops to take in the melody. He doesn't know if she really wants spectators, so he keeps a bit back.]

Sorry. Took me a while to figure out how to respond.

[lolifang_tan]

[She'd grown up to be fluent in both English and Japanese at her brother's instance. Not that she minded as saturday school was where she'd made most of her friends over the years after all.]

[The song ends and she turns, having sensed something else present no tlong after he'd arrived. Turning she offered him a shy smile, cheeks flushed slightly whether from embarrassment or the weather was unknown.]

Oh. You're Spin right? You're in some of my classes I think.

It's cool, I realized I made it a little hard.

[listennlearn]

[Ahh, he'd been noticed so easily. He couldn't be sure if she was more embarrassed than him, but he offered a small smile.]

Ah, yeah, that's me. And, um, you're Ranka, aren't you? Um, the music, it was... it was good. Sorry for eavesdropping, though.

And I've just been really slow at tags right now.

[lolifang_tan]

[She smiled back, the surprise out of the way it didn't bother her so much really.]

That's right. I'm Ranka, Ranka Lee we haven't really gotten to talk much before now. You think so? I'm glad you liked it. What? Oh no! You don't need to apologize! It's not uncommon for people to come down to the lake after all.

We are just gong to pretend he's been in vocal class because I suckkkk and option 3 get.

[italian_shrieks]

[It was common in Italy for walks to be taken after dinner, and it's a habit Lovino hasn't been able to shake. Not that he minds, with his thick jacket and scarf it's pretty warm. And he does have a lot to think over. Stupid dance. Stupid punch. Stupid Kaoru. It was just a whole lot of stupid.]

[Looking as he walks, the Italian only glances down at the singing. And then he just listens, eyes closed. And when she's done, Lovino heads over. With the green hair, it's easy to recognise her, she's one of the pretty girls in his vocal class. Her name escapes him though, for the moment.]

... You're going to get a cold.

You want to pretend? In an rp? The hells wrong with you?!?

[lolifang_tan]

[Turning she smiled, waving to Lovino slightly before his words caught up to her and she shivered slightly.]

I hadn't even noticed it was cold until you mentioned it.

[There's a teasing accusation to her tone, but any venom the sentence might have carried was neatly avoided by the general good humor in her tone and expression. Now very conscious of the fact that evenings got chilly rather quickly in November, Ranka cross her arms over her chest, rubbing her hands over goose-bumped skin in an effort to warm herself.]

Brrr. Fall and winter look really pretty but I'm going to miss how warm it is during the summer.

;__; Pls don't be hating meeeeeeee

[italian_shrieks]

[Even if there had been venom, Lovino would have overlooked it. But only because she was a pretty girl. If she had been a boy, he would have shouted back. Well, he wouldn't have approached at all, had she been a male. Thanks to everything, right now he felt that girls were easier to understand.]

Same... I hate winter, it's too cold. It looks like it's going to be even colder here.

[Like the gentleman Nonno had raised him to be, Lovino noticed the shivers and in return offered Ranka his own jacket. It wasn't like he was going to freeze after all, he did have a long sleeved top and jeans on, where Ranka only had her dress. It was only polite to try and help her.]

Here. This should help, si?

/hates foreverrrr

[lolifang_tan]

[That was one of the great things about this school, no one here gave her flake about looking younger than she was. The pretty was something that would have surprised Ranka though, but in a good way. At the same time, the fact that he's currently finding the opposite sex easier to understand is kind of sad.]

New York gets quite a bit colder than L.A I've heard. I've heard it's really pretty at least?

[Looking up she shook her head, frowning a little.] But won't you get cold then? I wouldn't want you to get sick or anything just because I forgot to bring a jacket from the dorms.
