3rd Tail

[whatthefoxsay]

[Kira is in the music room, standing by the piano, glancing sidelong at someone out of frame as she positions her device. She offers a nervous smile to the camera.]

So Bleu asked me to give her an example of contemporary music. I thought long and hard about it, because I mean, how do you try to encompass all those different styles? You can't, not really. So I thought at very least I could offer one example that I love, and hey Bleu, if you want to hear more or something different, just let me know.

Also, I have a message for my friends.

[She turns her head toward her accompanist.] You ready, Ben? One, two, three, four.

[The piano intro begins, Kira's head bobbing a little to the music. For anyone familiar with pop music of the last couple of years, it's Brave by Sara Bareilles.

As she sings, she holds up a series of placards with text written in black marker, just like that dude from Love, Actually.]


HEY STILES
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE NERD FRIEND


HEY ALLISON
YOU HAVE THE BRAVEST HEART

HEY LYDIA
STILL THE SMARTEST PERSON I KNOW

HEY ISAAC
SCARVES & SARCASM IS AN AWESOME COMBO

HEY SCOTT
YOU ARE THE BEST OF US
WE ARE BRAVE BECAUSE YOU ARE BRAVE
BELIEVE IT BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN YOU


[When the song ends, she offers the comm device another quirked grin before leaning forward to turn it off.]

(ooc: Yes, that is Arden Cho. I couldn't resist! Forgive me if it's too cheesy.)

Sounds good to me; I have no shortage of stories. You'll just have to show me how to turn it on and make it go.

[whatthefoxsay]

How to turn it on and make it go?

[She's not following. But this may be How It Goes when it comes to Bleu.]

[rhapsody_in]

The electronic copy. How does it work?

[whatthefoxsay]

[Kira's eyes go fairly wide; she has no idea how to explain it.]

There's a long history on how recording sound began and how it's developed; I don't think I have the ability to explain it well. I could probably pull up the information for your reference, though.

Do you sing, Bleu?

[rhapsody_in]

Regardless of the specifics, I just want to know how to turn it on and play it. Is it buttons like on one of the video players? [That's the extent of 21st century entertainment technology she knows.]

Occasionally. Why?

[whatthefoxsay]

It might be fun to sing together sometime. I think art makes us better people. Beings. [She's including music under the general umbrella as 'art', apparently.]

[rhapsody_in]

You're right. Art always does. [Or almost always. Maybe not those she effects, but let's not get into that.

Music is not Bleu's forte but she has a healthy appreciation for it. She can sing -- her control over her voice is extensive, and though she spends little time on it, music can be wondrous.] That would be fun, if we can find a song we both know. Or I suppose you could teach me one and vice versa.
