[V/V sets the phone on the cabinet in front of her. She's holding her guitar and absently strumming as she speaks.]

Everyone's been kind of grumpy lately... It's really bothering me. So, um, I thought I'd do something! I can give guitar or singing lessons to anyone who wants them! And if you come by the park, I'll be playing some songs I know later today. Feel free to come by.

[Action]
[True to her word, V/V is sitting underneath a tree in the park, playing her guitar and singing. She has a lovely voice, but it's not getting a favorable reaction. Practically nobody stops and listens to her, and a few have comments like 'get a job!']

[V/V looks a bit downcast, but keeps singing.]

[April hadn't seen V/V's earlier broadcast, but she comes across her playing in the park. So, she stops to listen.

She frowns at the people who give the comments, and will clap when V/V has finished singing and playing.]

[heavenscorpse]

Thank you, April. I'm glad you liked it.

[Action]

[technologic]

You're welcome. You have a really nice voice.

[Yuri watches for a bit from further away, almost hidden, but comes a bit closer once she finishes a song.]

Do you play like that often?

[action]

[heavenscorpse]

I'm in a band here. And I sometimes sit out and play for everyone like this.

[action]

[battlefrontleader]

[Yuri nods, that kinda reminds her of her friends back home.]

It was good, I'm sure it's even better with the whole band.

*David has shown up in response to the video broadcast and will start clapping when she finishes.*

Very nice.

ACTION

[heavenscorpse]

Thank you very much. I'm really glad that people like what I do.

ACTION

[just_as_planned]

I don't see why they wouldn't. Your playing and singing are both lovely.

*Kaoru emerges from behind the tree, frowning.* They're acting strangely.

[action]

[heavenscorpse]

I know. They're not this moody normally.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

Maybe something happened in town. It probably doesn't matter, though.

[Kid's passing through the park on his way to go shopping when he spots V/V playing some music. Kid remembers how nice and warm this lady was, so the crowd's booing and comments tick him off a bit. So Kid steps in front and gives her a slow but audible applause.]

Got a lovely voice, there, ma'am.

[Action]

[heavenscorpse]

Thank you very much. I practice a lot.

[Action]

[thanklesswork]

[Kid would probably have a little more to say, but he's not good with words. Her singing does remind him of a certain Ura girl, though, so he looks thoughtful for a minute.

A damn shame that grumpiness was hitting him, too, but from a different angle.]

Knew someone from back home who played a harp and sung old folk songs. Think you mighta gotten along.

[crownedexorcist]

[There's some clapping. Whenever V/V looks up, Allen is nearby.]

You have a lovely voice, V/V.

[Action]

[heavenscorpse]

Thank you, Allen. Do you have a request for the next song?

[Action]

[crownedexorcist]

None in particular. So it's your choice.

[ Always a fan of music, David doesn't hesitate to stop by for at least a bit to listen. Even when the other people pass by or comment he just linefaces as usual, even if he might be staring at them a little even as they've already passed..

But he'll give her a small nod after she's done, something almost a little warm despite the pokerface. ]

... That was wonderful. It is good to bring music to any place.

[ action ]

[heavenscorpse]

I just hope that people will like it.

[ action ]

[rocker]

I like it. So that means at least one person can appreciate it already, does it not?

[fractured_white]

*Albedo waits out of her line of sight for her to finish a song, quiet as the cat his brother occasionally compared him to as he listens. When the music ends, he approaches from behind, slowly clapping. He adds a menacing tone to the applause, smirking at her with an obvious sadistic anticipation.*

Bravo, Monstre Ange. I always did enjoy some music to contrast the sounds of agony.

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V startles a little, but turns and smiles at him once she's recovered.] I thought you just liked music.

[seeslights]

[would you like a duet partner, V/V? Looking a bit irritated with those grumpy people, Rapunzel slowly comes up to sit next to her, and when she's learned the tune of the song, she'll join in with her own little made-up harmony on the chorus.]

[heavenscorpse]

[When the song ends, V/V turns to her partner.]

That was really good.
