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.]

Well, yeah, it's good. [He can't think of anyone else he'd rather spend that long in Luceti with. You know, excluding his girlfriend.] How old is he?

Tatsuya is three years old! ... At least, he was when I left, so technically his birthday would have passed now already if time didn't stand still back home like everyone says..

It only stands still for you. For all you know, he could show up next week and be from twenty years in your future.

T-twenty years in my future?! But then he'd be so old and tall compared to me..!

Exactly my point! But he'd be able to help you with stuff on high shelves.

[ okay, now that draws a giggle from the girl. ]

And he would finally eat all of his veggies, too.

[There, that makes up for harshing her song earlier.]

No, I'm pretty sure he could keep not eating them. Only you wouldn't be able to make him.

Well, I think Tatsuya will surely grow into someone who'll eat his veggies! After all, he's a pretty good boy already, even though he's only three years old still.

Not that there's anything wrong with a meaty diet.

Well.. it's important to eat both veggies and meat, right? Papa always says a balanced diet is very important!

Meat is the more important of the two. It makes you strong and stuff.

But don't veggies have.. um, vitamins and all that? I think they're very important for you, that's what Papa always told me too.

Yeah, I guess they have all that stuff.

Um.. Do you maybe not like them as much?

I like them okay! I just happen to think meat is better.

Hmm, thinking about it.. I think I like them equally. That's okay too, isn't it..?

Um, sure. It's not like you need my permission.

A-ah, no, not like that. I just thought you sounded like you knew a lot about this, that's why I asked.

Well, I grew up in a place with... not so much vegetables. I turned out fine.

Huh, really? What kind of place wouldn't have many vegetables..?

The South Pole.

You lived on the South Pole? W-wow, but isn't it much too cold there?

Well, it is cold. But we weren't, you know, next door to the pole. And besides, it's not exactly the same as the south pole on other worlds.

[ she nods to herself - he did live there, so it must have been possible somehow, either way. ]

So it's maybe a little bit less cold there in your world? Enough to just live there..?

Yeah, something like that. It's still pretty cold though.
