[007] the village is now rabu

[rabuends]

[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.]

Comments

[Written] Both is fine!

[shadedsunlight]

[With Giles' departure still fresh on her mind and heart, Ginia finds it difficult to summon up any sort of cheer. However, the song is appreciated and it is very nice.]

Both of you did a lovely job.

[Written]

[happyends]

Thank you! I'm very glad you liked it, especially since both Homura-chan and I worked so hard on it.. [ she smiles a little to herself as she writes. ]

I hope it might have helped for the people who needed it too.

[Written]

[rabuends]

Thank you very much. It's still in progress, but we will work hard on it for the future.

[Voice] I'm up for both!

[knightofratatosk]

That was a really nice song. Did the two of you write it yourselves?

[Voice]

[happyends]

Yes, we did.. It was a little difficult, but we somehow managed it, ehehehe. I wrote the lyrics, and then Homura-chan helped me come up with the melody. It's really great she can play the guitar like that..

[voice]

[rabuends]

Yes. We've been working on it through the week. Playing the guitar is really more challenging than I expected, but it sounded good, right?

video - either or both!

[death_awaits_you]

[ Ryoji totally enjoys the song and sways along with it as he listens. When they're done, he applauds. ]

You two sound great together! That was really pretty. I'm sure that'll cheer lots of people up.

[happyends]

[ you're too nice, Ryoji.. Madoka smiles back at least, that's for sure. ]

Thank you, ehehe! As long as it serves its purpose and helps out some people, then that's enough for me.. But I'm glad to know people in general enjoy it too.

[rabuends]

Thank you for your words. This village can be bad at times, but a reminder of the good things is our intentions.

[Action apt party thing]

[bigsiskonagi]

[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...?

[Action apt party thing] wait so is this one going to be a threeway..?

[happyends]

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..

[Voice] up for either/both! <33

[geniustheveil]

[Giles. That's her first thought, the man who'd been something of a mentor and even a father figure (not a father, but a father figure), gone like so many others. Of course, that thought, and the song, bring with them thoughts of everyone else lost over her years here.]

It was a very gentle song. Thank you very much for singing it for everyone.

[Voice]

[happyends]

N-no, thank you for listening to all of it, I really appreciate it.. [ battle of the overly polite. ]

I hope you enjoyed it, hehe.

[Voice]

[rabuends]

Ah, Mizuno-san. Thank you very much for listening to it. We hope it lifted your spirits.

[ video ] either or is fine with me :3

[tpdd]

[ Once the feed ends, Mikuru begins clapping happily, her smile wide and genuine. ]

Wow... that was amazing! You're both really great music, aren't you? I'm sure... with something like that, everyone will find a little more strength to go on, so thank you very much!

[ video ]

[happyends]

[ oh, she really did say amazing -- that's enough to fluster Madoka just a little, but she smiles even so. ]

Hehe, thank you.. I don't think I'm that great with it though, or at least, Homura-chan's guitar playing is what really finishes all of it.

[ video ]

[rabuends]

[Oh, it's the girl from a while ago.]

Thank you very much, Asahina-san. I hope we will be able to do as you say. It still needs more work, but Madoka and I are going to work hard.

[voice] Both is fine!

[upthere]

[Ariel can't exactly say that she's pleased to hear a song like this. But she does watch with a growing smile on her face, and by the time it finishes, she starts to clap her hands with applause. Gosh, it's so nice to hear music and singing around here, especially from someone she's become acquainted with.]

[voice]

[happyends]

[ Oh, there's even applause -- at this rate Madoka will be flustered enough for an entire year's worth of.. well, flustering, really. ]

Hehe, did you like it..?

[Voice] Either or both is fine!

[starfishlovesyou]

[Clap clap clap~]

That was wonderful, Fuuko was hooked on each and every word. When you hit the big time try not to forget about the little people!

[Voice]

[happyends]

Hit the.. big time..? [ wait, what-- oh, now she realises, and her eyes go wide in surprise. ]

N-no, don't worry..! I don't think we're good enough to reach anything like that, and even if it would happen, I would make sure to not forget about everyone!

[voice] either/both is fine!

[penetrated]

[ Ahh, all of the applause! ]

That was really great, you guys! I'm sure something like that will definitely lift everyone's spirits!

[voice] oh.... it's you............

[happyends]

Kuronuma-kun, good day! [ a small smile as she speaks up - it's audible even in her tone. ]

Did you really like the song that much..?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Wow. It's almost. Sickeningly sweet.

[But he thought of Toph through it. Who... well, he found out was gone this morning. So it's kind of a bummer. He's hiding that under his usual dry sarcasm.]

[Voice]

[happyends]

[ cue Madoka sounding slightly awkward, since.. ]

U.. um.. So is it a bad thing..?

[Voice] Gimme gimme both both...

[mischiefbreeder]

[Clapping over the journal. Yeah, that song struck close to home. He's watched his friends come and go from this place, time and time again... But that's right, isn't it? Even if they leave, even if he leaves, "he'll see them tomorrow", whenever that tomorrow comes.]

Good job. Sounds like you two really hit the nail on the head!

[voice] replies first before jelle!!!

[rabuends]

Thank you. It's still a work in progress but, with so many people starting to leave again, we thought it would be a good time to share now what we have so far.

[Video] LADIES.....

[kamiyandisease]

[Give him a moment as he sheds a single tear from that song...]

Uwaaah... And suddenly my unfortunate spirit has risen from the ashes after hearing that lovely ballad...

[Video] oh mr touma

[rabuends]

[She blinks. Was...it really that moving? Somehow she doubts it.]

I didn't realize your spirit was so unfortunate to begin with.

[Voice] Let's go with both! Also you guys I am so sorry about the lateness. D:

[lostinmyway]

[Grune is the ideal audience for this song. After losing an average of a friend a week for the past month and a half, culminating today in the disappearance of one of her very dearest friends...well.

She actually manages a pretty good smile when she replies.]

That was very nice. You both did a very good job.

[Her smile shifts just slightly, tiredness slipping into it.] Thank you for singing your song.

[Voice] hehe no problem!

[rabuends]

[Homura can feel the tiredness in Grune's voice, even from the journal, and she's sure that the song reached the woman with that much alone. So she smiles back at Grune.]

Thank you for listening to it. I hope it could help in any manner.
