♫ Two Chords ♫

[The feed cuts on a few days after everyone's homecoming from Gigas. The warp band isn't focused at first and looks a little low to the ground. It's obvious that it's being handled by a pokemon after a few minutes. If not by the weird shakey picture then by the very pleased "Bulbasaur- saur!" that follows once it's raised to a reasonable height to capture the scene.]

[Cyan and Ranka are over by one of the big fountains downtown. Cyan is sitting on the edge, plucking at her guitar. She pauses and-]


What if I tried something like this?

[She plays a bouncy set of notes and then looks up for Ranka's imput.]



[There's a quiet "Azu" as well - a bit mischievous, a bit warning not to make too much noise. For her part, Ranka's a bit distracted, and after those notes she follows up by humming the same melody, and then hums a very rough harmony, and nods.]

Yeah! That's a really good start, it's got, um, pep!

[Ranka giggles a little at her own word choice.]

[Cyan giggles in turn and nods. She strums her guitar a few times, seeming pleased with that. She looks up.]

I'm glad! Okay, then... do you want to try and put everything together?

[The bulbasaur holding the warp band makes a quiet, excited sound. Something that could be understood in pokemon as at last! maybe the warp band will get a performance.]

I think we've got a good base to start from! Let's give it a shot!

[Ranka's excitement is starting to bubble over, and she's practically hopping back and forth from foot to foot, and an Azumarill grins. If THIS doesn't get Ranka's career started then he doesn't know what will!

No seriously he knows nothing about promoting musicians properly, but he sure means well.]

[Luckily, they go unnoticed for now. Cyan is practically glowing with excitement. Getting to preform with someone else was really exciting and her tail swishes back and forth as she settles herself, nods a few times to get the rhythm started in her head and starts to play.]

[The instrumentals start, and Ranka taps her feet, finding the rhythm. Her lyrics are going to be a total placeholder, and she starts to work on her end of the melody with just a lot of 'lalala'. Very musical, clear, and quite beautiful words without words, but just as she's about to start on some actual lyrics her eyes visibly flit towards the camera and she freezes.]


I-i-is that on!?

[Bobby the Azumarill leaps away with a squeak that translates pretty closely to 'busted!']

[Bass the Bulbasaur follows suit, dropping the warp band as Cyan lets out a very distressed KYAAAAAA TURN THAT OFF! The feed shuts off.]

[OOC: Cyan is blue and Ranka is in green! Replies will be from both!]

[ Ranka's managed to corner her Azurill enough to huff at it - and just showing her disappointment is the best she can muster. ]

...it wasn't even CLOSE to ready yet.

[Nope, Ryuko doesn't see the problem but Ryuko is also a loud shouty person with more brash confidence than is good for her.]

Hmm.

[She lets out a breath, rubbing the back of her neck. In her lap, Skullface is still waving her bone club in the air, calling for an encore.]

I sure as hell don't know anything about show business, but I'm pretty sure getting cold feet and flipping out just cause something went wrong isn't the way to go.

[ Quick Ryuko, learn to play the bass or the drums or something. They need a bit of bravado in this band.

It's a good point though. ]


Well yeah, but even the best artists don't want to get recorded practicing... right?

[She can totally play bass. Anybody can play bass. It's bass.]

I guess you got a point there.

[She folds her arms, nodding her head.]

But I still say if you're gonna do something, jumping right in the deep end is the way to go.
