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.]

I guess so... I don't really know that much about bands. How many people are usually in a band, anyway?

I think it depends on the kind of band, but.. four of five is usually the average, I think? That doesn't sound too big or too small.

So if you found two or three more people, you could make a real band. Um... but only if you wanted to, I mean.

Ah, no..! It definitely sounds like a nice idea to me, so please don't worry.. In fact, I think Yui-chan plays an instrument too, and she lives with us so maybe we should ask her to join..

That's a great idea. Then all you'd need is one or two more people and you could have a band of your own!

That almost sounds like we're some big band from back home, with concerts and CDs.. ehehe, that's still a little too much for someone as simple as me, I think.

CDs? Oh, right, those are those magic discs that have music on them. Minato has a bunch of those.

Oh, you don't have them back home, really? I like them, since they're really convenient.. Sayaka-chan and I used to sometimes go to the CD store after school to listen to some music.

My world doesn't really have that much technology at all. It's still something that only the Tethe'allans have much of, and it hasn't spread to the rest of the world yet. But it would be neat if it did, because they really are convenient.

Yes.. I really, really hope your world gets all of that soon, then! I mean, the rest of the world, since it's a lot of fun to be able to listen to music whenever without having to play an instrument..

Me too. It would be great if everyone could just listen to music whenever they want. Maybe it would help make people happier!

Well.. I know music makes me happier for sure, so it's bound to work for other people as well, right? That's why I thought of singing this song.

Right! I know it made me happier when I heard it.

Hmm, and I'm so glad for it..! I should sing more songs, so I can even make more people happy with all of it.

I wonder if I could try it too... I mean, for one experiment I went around singing for people and... it was kind of embarrassing, but it was kind of fun too.

Um.. if you want, we could practice together sometime, maybe? With some kind of duet, or something like that..

Really? You wouldn't mind?

Of course not..! It'd be more fun to sing together with others, right? At least, I think so..

No, that's what I think too. It's always more fun to do things with other people.

Then we can definitely do it sometime! [ a giggle. ] I wouldn't mind at all.

Great! I'll be looking forward to it.

Thanks, Madoka. I hope we can help make a lot of people happy together.

Me too. I'm sure that if you sing together, you can reach hearts of even more people, so the same must count for if we'd sing together..!

Yeah. This way we can share the songs with everyone here who wants to listen!

It seems a whole lot of people want to listen too, hehe.. It's almost like we're a little popular already.

What? R-really?
