[ Xion's always had this thing for dreaming. Although, back home, it was memories... memories and meanings she couldn't understand. Dreams of the ocean and the sound of waves, dreams of a boy in red...

Her dreams are so often memories. After all, what is she but memories? Just a doll, made to live off of the memories of a boy like some kind of parasite. But now she has memories all her own... so many of them. And she dreams about those, too.

They aren't always good dreams. Sometimes they are dark and full of blood.

It's a shame she fell asleep with her journal on the covers -- because when she wakes up, shooting up into a sitting position with a shout, the journal of course falls open and records her cry.

Nothing can be seen -- after all, the room is dark. But the sound of her panting breaths come through -- the only sound, for a moment, until she gathers herself enough to sigh. ]


Come on, Xion, get it together.

[ And she'd been having an easier time getting to sleep, too, after all the help everyone had given her...

Somewhat reflexively, she'll scoop up her journal as she gets out of bed, temporarily cutting off the feed. However, it's only a few moments later that the journal is reopened -- still in darkness, only barely leavened by the moonlight drifting in through the window. However, there is a new sound.

Xion is ... singing.

Bits and pieces, at a slower tempo, of a song that someone once played for her. Of course, there are no words, but her voice is actually ... kind of sweet, and soft, floating and tumbling between the notes. It goes like this for a few quiet moments, with some other soft sounds in the background as she gets some water.

And when she turns around, she will realize the journal did not stay upright where she set it, and fell open. Again. Of course. SIGH. Oh well. She'll move over to the table and sit, lightly tapping on the page that's been recording her. ]


... is anyone even awake at this hour? And I guess... well, if you heard me ... what's your favorite song?

(ooc; actually, pretty tired! gonna hit the hay. tags tomorrow! oh, and I'd imagine this whole thing went down... somewhere around 4 AM. ps her voice, with bonus ironic lyrics.)

It's not so bad if you bring some blankets with you, but at this hour it'd probably be too cold for that.

[And then Aqua would scold him.]

I don't mind looking out the window, though. It's still a nice view.

[WHAT HOW IS THAT CRUEL. HE'S FEEDING IT, ISN'T HE? 8(

But nevertheless, he does recognize her under that hat there and gives her a brief nod in greeting. And if Xion looks right beside him, she will see a tiny, white, pocket-sized version of the thing she saw in the journal, tottering back and forth on the porch and chirping merrily. It seems to be content to waddle toward him until it bumps into the side of his leg with no reaction from Ramirez, whereupon it would promptly begin waddling the other direction, right up until it collides into the wood post. And then the whole process starts over again.

This has been going on for a while. Please come distract it.]

Of course you may. I won't tell a soul, I promise.

Ehehe! I bet he would! It's a shame I don't know how to play any instruments, though. I know master Ishaku can play the shamisen. Issun a little bit, too, but he's not as good.

Hm? Yeah, sure, what is it?

[Luke, don't agree to a favor and THEN ask what it is.]

[Clear enough for Luke to see. After some time to think about it, anyway.]

Wh-What? I mean, I'm not... sure if that'd work... [Fidget. He does not like singing, come on!]

[Rmmmm... Well, no one's asked him to sing before. Or if they do, they always do it with a teasing air since Luke is just so easy to do it to. It's partly why he never does it.

But Xion's being sincere with this. Rmmm. Rrrrrgh.

So he has to grumble a little, but it sounds like an agreement somewhere in there.]

[And he'll sing again, a different tune this time, one that's a little longer. Again, it doesn't have any words, so Luke compensates with "la"s, "oh"s and "ah"s, and humming at times, too. He's quiet again, not only because he's still embarrassed, but again, he doesn't want to wake anyone up. If he did, either they'd be grumpy and tell him to shut up (Asch), or hound him down to laugh (Guy), or maybe just insist that he's good and fluster him even more (Natalia).

Even with the embarrassment and the fact that it's quiet, though, it's still clear that Luke is pretty into it. His voice grows stronger every now and then, only to quiet down once more, and there's a certain tone to it that indicates some level of sincerity and affection for either the song or whoever he's playing it for. It is Xion, after all...]

... Ah-

[And the journal shut. Dammit, he was about to say good night in return! fff. Good thing she was obviously happy about the song.

Luke still turns ahead of him and rubs his throat, though, with a little frown. Honestly, singing makes his throat hurt, sounds weird, and isn't as good as actually listening to music. He'd rather play an instrument, like a piano, rather than sing. Maybe he should do that for her instead... But no, he's not really that great at it.

... Why is he thinking of doing those things for her anyway?! It's not like he wants to... right?

Rmmm. He shakes his head to clear that heated feeling in his cheeks, then slides out of the chair to slip into his own bed. He's stayed awake long enough.]

As I've said, I've seen your hands. They seem well suited for the instrument. [...aw man, Xion, why'd you have to go say that.] I suppose if you were really interested, I could invest some time from my hectic schedule and teach you the basics.
doubleppk: (Mm)

[personal profile] doubleppk 2011-02-10 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
It's the best instrument there is practically! If you get a chance to hear one you really should!

I don't think they'd be woken. Although, I know how you feel. Still, at least you're good at it, right?

[IF IT IS STUPID ENOUGH TO KEEP RUNNING INTO THINGS THEN RAMIREZ IS GOING TO LET IT. >:C IT SHOULD LEARN TO START FENDING FOR ITSELF.

But yes, Ramirez won't mind if Xion picks it up and cuddles it. No-Name Hamachou has actually stopped in its derpy pacing long enough to leeeeeaaaaaan up at the girl bending over it, almost enough to completely topple itself over. But it just blinks its big, beady eyes up at Xion and chirps.]


You can give it one, if you like.

[That means no.]
