[ Things have been kind of strange and hard and a little sad lately. It's been difficult at best to keep her mind off Axel, to keep from dwelling on the sheer fact of his death, and she's been working even harder than usual to keep herself distracted. Her hours at the clinic and her school work are sufficient, for the most part, not to mention her Kyoshi training, the SOS Brigade.... though the quiet hours of the night are very hard, especially with Luke still kidnapped.

But she does try, very valiantly, to keep her head up.

Besides, it's February now! And even with Luke still gone, there's something on her mind. For better or for worse, Valentine's Day is sort of their one year anniversary as a couple. Really, the week after was when they admitted their feelings to each other without experiment influence, but Valentine's Day was still the first time they ever said something.

The thought of the annual experiment makes her very nervous, since goodness knows who they might get stuck with!, but ... she wants to try to do something for him anyway. And she's hoping, against hope, that circumstances will let her do it.

So in the spirit of Not Being Sad, and also Doing Something Nice For Her Boyfriend, she opens the journal and makes a filter away from Luke, since she doesn't want him to find this when he returns. ... she filters from Asch, too, while she's at it, because that idea makes her feel kind of awkward. ]

( locked FROM Luke and Asch | 100% )

So, um ... if I wanted to write a song for someone, could anyone help me do it? I can sing, and sort of play the flute, but I don't know anything about actually writing music. And it's for a really special occasion, so ... I'd really appreciate any help.

[ A breath. THAT DONE, she has two more quick filters to make. ]

( Roxas | Locked 50% )

Hey, want to meet me in town to grab something to eat? Maybe even some ice cream? [ WHO CARES IF IT'S COLD ICE CREAM IS FOREVER. ]

( Ganondorf | Locked 90% )

Hey, I don't think--

[ ... that's strange. Did her filter just ... break?

... oh. That can only mean one thing. Well, maybe he'll get better once he's home? ]


( public )

For anyone who might be wondering, it looks like the man known as Ganondorf has gone home.

I always thought it was the guy who was supposed to make music for the girl.

[Even if it was rubbish and no good.]

[Voice] ... /belatedly fixes custom comment pages

[fourteen]

... it is? Well, I don't know about that. I just think he'd really like it.

[ Since ... well, she's assuming he's already got the idea behind this plan. ]

[Voice | Filtered]

[its_rose_damnit]

[Well, this is interesting. While Dist may not anywhere near an expert composer, he had done one song and wanted to do another. This may just be the opportunity he needs, to get more experience.]

I may be able to assist you, young lady. I'm not as advanced at composing as I would like, but I may be able to help you regardless. I do have some experience, and would enjoy the challenge of gaining more.

[ ... what happens ... when he founds out ... the song is for Luke ... ]

Really?! I mean, I'd appreciate any help at all! [ A relieved laugh. ] Thank you so much, um...? [ She doesn't think she knows this guy. ]

[Xion, you are such a tremendous sap. Singing love songs? Ha...]

Sounds like you're going all out.

[ Oh hi Riku. And what, it's cute!! ]

Well, yeah, hehe. I just thought it might be something nice to do, and I wanted it to be really unique and special!

[Voice | Filtered]

[shadedsunlight]

I'd be willing to help out with music.

[Voice | Filtered]

[ ... Ginia? Xion blinks. ]

Really? You know how to compose, Ginia?

[Voice/Auldrant redhead filter]

[moelle]

Well... I haven't exactly written any songs before, but another idea from where I come from is to make a music box.

[It was something that the gift recipient could listen to over and over, not to mention it was overall something that the technologically-minded people from Sheridan would be able to make easily.]

Though something like that might be a little difficult if you've never made anything before, or this is on short notice.

[She'd be happy to help herself - working on your own projects was nice, but making something others would actually use was much more satisfying. She'd be even more willing if she knew who this was for.]

[Voice/Auldrant redhead filter]

[fourteen]

[ ... silence, for a moment, as the SHEER WONDERFULNESS of this idea kind of bowls her over. ]

Oh my gosh, that would be so perfect! He'd love it, I know he would. [ She remembers the music box Luke showed her, once. ] Could you really do something like that?!

[Voice]

[lil_eggplant]

[The idea of magical journals isn't hard to grasp when you consider them really weird and flat Den Den Mushi, but that doesn't keep him from muttering opinions to himself.]

That's a weird name.

[Voice] i just shrieked and rolled all over my bed in glee

[ --............

What's with that voice .......

Xion peers at the camera, trying to get a better look. ]

You mean "Ganondorf"?

[ voice | that redhead filter ]

[blessingone]

[Fenimore has no such experience and nearly passes this by with merely a well-wishing and maybe a comment about not knowing she could play the flute, but...a really special occasion, huh? Hmm. Hmmmm. She didn't remember anything coming up that's worth a song, though maybe it could be something private...or a holiday of some kind? These sorts of things were usually on a yearly basis. What happened last year around this time with Xion.........?

-- Ahhhh. She smiles.]

A really special occasion, huh...? I'm sure he'll be very happy to hear a song from you, even if you didn't write it yourself.

[ voice | that redhead filter ]

[fourteen]

[ She laughs, in a good-natured way. ]

Am I being that obvious? Man. Well, that's okay. I sure hope he will! I really want to take part in writing it, I just ... need a little guidance? [ Eh heh. ]

[voice]

[godbent]

[...sigh]

What I wouldn't give for a Vocaloid these days...

[voice]

[fourteen]

... a what?

[locked]

[perplexme]

[At first, he's really tempted to say no. Not because he's against hanging out with Xion, but mostly because he'd rather be holed up in his room doing research and distracting himself from the fact that Axel's still gone. Axel being gone really made it official that he was gone for good.

...however, he knows he can't just. You know. Ignore his other bff. That's not fair either.]

...yeah, I guess we can do that. Where do you want to go?

[locked]

[fourteen]

[ She knows. And it's in an effort to keep him from becoming a total hermit -- and forgetting about her, too -- that she's doing this. But she keeps her voice warm. ]

How about Azzip?

[filtered from asch and luke]

[meteorical]

There's a couple of people I can recommend that know about writing music, but you might already know them.

[A beat.] What made you decide on a song anyway?

[filtered from asch and luke]

[fourteen]

Well ... I really should ask Brook. But who else were you thinking of?

[ A beat, and she smiles. ] Both of us really like music. And, um, once, a long time ago, we ... sort of sang to each other, one night. [ Eh heh. ] I just think he'd really like it.

[filtered from asch and luke]

[hisdarkmark]

Quite a bit of effort, don't you think?

[filtered from asch and luke]

[fourteen]

It's worth it.

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

I'd help you write a song, sis!

...

B-but I dunno how to write good music.

[Sigh.]

[Voice]

[fourteen]

... hehe. You know what I could really use help with, Elicia? I need someone to listen to it when it's done, and tell me if it's really good or not. It has to be perfect, and I can't trust just anyone to tell me!

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I'm afraid composing music isn't my forte, but I might be able to help with the lyrics.

[Voice]

[fourteen]

You know, I wasn't sure if I was going to write any lyrics! I actually hadn't really thought about it.

[Voice/Filtered]

[of_sablier]

If it's for a really special occasion, why not turn it into a music box as well? That way you can always remember that day whenever you listen to it.

[Voice/Filtered]

[fourteen]

Someone already suggested that to me! I think it's a great idea. Do you know how to make music boxes too?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

What kind of special occasion?

[Voice]

[fourteen]

... um ... an anniversary. [ Very sheepish. ]

[Voice/Filter because I am a fail] lmao I TOLD YOU I WOULD DO IT

[lezareno_prez]

Would this 'really special occasion' be the sort of thing to require anything beyond a song?

[Voice/Filter] IT'S LIKE I GOT LUNA BINGO

[fourteen]

Um ... I dunno, maybe! Did you have something in mind, Regal?

[written]

[upthere]

What's the special occasion?

[Xion, you've got one singer's attention. Of course, Sebastian is mostly the composer of Atlantica, but Ariel's been known to come up with good songs on the whim too.]

[written]

[fourteen]

It's an anniversary! With someone really special to me.

[meritocracy]

[Natalia is amused. And pleased. Is this Xion? Well she has a good voice from the tone of it--however she still wants to know who makes Luke blush so deeply. ]

A song, that does sound quite romantic! To whom is it for?

voice;

[fourteen]

... ummm.

[ She recognizes that voice. But she never spoke to Natalia all that much, and it's been a while. Still, she laughs, a little sheepish. ]

My boyfriend, for our anniversary. Maybe I should have just said that from the start... everyone's been asking!
