rabuends | [007] the village is now rabu

[When the video feeds clicks on, Homura can be seen moving away from the camera and letting the journal focus on a small couch area in their living room. Another girl with bright pink hair is sitting on the couch, when Homura sits down next to her. She looks quite nervous]

Hello. We know many people have been leaving recently and we feel sorry if anyone lost someone close to them.

[She glances over to Madoka, ushering her to speak.]

H.. hm, right..

[ Madoka seem to still be trying to encourage herself over all this, it's making her a little nervous to do this in front of so many people, but it's for a good cause! So she nods, taking a deep breath and speaking up as well. ]

That's right. Even if it's sad that people leave, we should all try our best to keep thinking positive and keep being cheerful, for the sake of the people who left too, right? [ a smile. ]

Right. That's why, Madoka and I both wrote a song to cheer up people's spirits. --She did most of the work, and it's still in progress, but we hope you'll enjoy it.

[Homura then moves to the side and picks an acoustic guitar. She doesn't know how to play it very well, but just a few stringing cords should be enough of a melody.]

Hey, Madoka, are you ready?

Yes, I'm ready..! [ There's a nod, and she makes one final gulp before she starts singing once Homura starts playing the guitar. ]

Saying, "See you later," I wave my hand, forcing myself to smile, yet I'm feeling lonely...

[ And then this song follows, of which the lyrics are here. ]

... And with my usual smile, I say "See you tomorrow"..

[And as Madoka sings, Homura strums the guitar to her singing. It's obvious that she isn't exactly an expert in playing, but she manages to keep it in harmony with Madoka's singing and continues to do so for a couple moments after the last line is sung.]

You did great, Madoka. [She says with a cheerful smile to the other.]

[ Madoka smiles back too, clearly happy it all went over so well. ]

You too, Homura-chan! Hehe, I think that sounded pretty nice together, huh..?

It did. We should keep working on it, right?

[She giggles a little, practically forgetting that the journal was still even recording.]

Hmm! I think it's pretty good already though.. [ yup, the original intent of the whole message is forgotten by now.. ] It's mostly because of your guitar playing though, I think.

You think it was good? You're a wonderful singer though, so it wouldn't have worked without you.

[And from there the two girls continue to chat. Any interruptions will definitely be noted however.]

[ooc: Madoka and Homura will both be responding. Specify if you want one of them or both. threads will be split and not three-way for time convenience.]

[Yui won't be home for this as she had gone out do some quick grocery shopping for the apartment. She'll hear the last half of the song as she returns to the apartment. She won't open the door though, choosing not to interrupt them until they were finished. She had a small smile on face afterwards though, as she slowly opens up the door once she was sure the song was over.]

Ah, are you two finished...?

Yui-chan! Welcome back!

[ Madoka smiles at the sight of the other girl, waving at her a little. ]

Hmm, we were just singing a song we wrote for the people here just now..

Good day, Kōnagi-san.

[Homura puts down the guitar and nods.]

People seem to enjoy it so far.

Mm. I heard a little bit of it from outside. I didn't want to interrupt so I waited. [She comes in and closes the door behind her.]

It sounded wonderful by the way! Ah...Akemi-san I didn't know you played an instrument. [She says as she looks at the guitar]

Oh, thanks for waiting.. Um, it didn't cause you any inconvenience though, right..?

[ she looks slightly awkward, but she still smiles. ]

And hehe, isn't Homura-chan's guitar playing really great?

Ah, well, I only began trying to learn it for this. It would be more memorable if someone was playing along to Madoka's singing, so I thought it could be helpful like this.

[Also looking awkward. Too much rabu to handle.]

But, Madoka's lyrics are what carried it through I think.

Ah, no it wasn't, don't worry about that. [With a small handwave]

Well the both of you sounded great together. Oh, maybe we should try doing a small band together! Madoka can sing, Akemi-san can play the guitar and I have my trombone!

A band doesn't sound like a bad idea at all..! After all, the more people join in, the more fun it will be for everyone to make music together, right? [ even if it's just the three of them.. ]

Yui-chan's trombone playing would probably really fit the songs too.

[She grins.]

That sounds like a great idea. Being in a small trio together would be really fun. I bet we can even perform for the village more if we have more music to accompany the songs.

We'll need a name to go with our band then! How about-

[And then she realizes that she was still carrying the groceries when the bottoms of her bags give way.]

...A-Ah, ahaha... could I ask for some help with these...?

[ Madoka was already thinking about a name, as design-oriented as she is, but.. then she hears Yui's call, and she looks surprised before quickly nodding. ]

A-ah, Yui-chan, let me help you with those, then..!

[ Quickly pattering off the couch and over to Yui to carry some as well. ]

[Homura will rise up once she sees the bags crumbling and gladly gathers up what she can.]

Don't worry about it. Anything that got dirty can be cleaned off with some water.

Hehe, thank you both. [And she'll move some stuff onto the counter nearby with them.]

But what do you think would be a good name for us?

[ Madoka just talks even as she's moving the stuff too.. ]

Um.. maybe something with 'Trio'? Since there's three of us! The.. something something Trio.. [ still thinking what to fill in there. ]

["Rabu Trio"

Except Homura Akemi isn't a quality person like the person behind this keyboard.]

Trio. [She hums, moving to set the fallen goods onto the table.] I don't really know to be honest. I'm drawing a blank. [A couple thoughts come to mind, but nothing Homura finds is worth sharing.]

How about, The Trio Sisters! Or is that too informal...? The teen sensations! Ah, no...that's no good.

[Yui course doesn't mind shuffling out everything on her mind.]

Oh, I like The Trio Sisters! ... W-well, we aren't really sisters, but being friends like this is already a little like sisters, right? And then the band name shows how friendly we are with each other!

[Sisters. She thinks. Puella Magi were sort of like sisters too, weren't they? In that case--]

Trio Sisters sounds good. I think the three of us living together like this, under one roof, means we are already a sort of family to one another.
