24-[Filter/Action]

[heal_theworld]

[Martel is in the music room today, sitting at the piano that she has no idea how to play. She is gently pressing the keys, to see if she can recognize any of the tones and perhaps learn to play by ear, like how she learned to play her panpipes. After a few moments of that, she turns away, and dictates a few Filters, since they are working again.]


I'm in the music room right now, if you're free.



Busy tonight, or do you have time for a cup of expresso?



Did you all manage to survive Valentine's Day? [Cut her some slack, she's slightly lonely and at odds ends right now.]

Valentine's Day?

Guess so, I just stayed in and read.

Martel/Action

[whistles_the_blues]

I'll be there in just a moment.

[Not too long after, there's a robot in a scarf and sunglasses walking into the music room. It's his first time there so he takes a moment to look around before nodding to Martel.]

Friends

[heal_theworld]

Yes, Valentine's Day.

I just stayed out of the way. [It seemed like the smart thing to do, and she didn't want to be the victim of those chocolates.]

Forever

[heal_theworld]

[A smile when she sees him.] Hello, Break!

Friends

[wilder]

Heh, smart. I heard there was something with the chocolate?

[There was awkward stuff with Sheena and now it's possible she thinks he's in love with Zelos, but hey it could have been worse. He knows this holiday must have sucked for her, so he keeps his own issues to himself]

I didn't end up married to a burly man named Kevin, so I'd call that a holiday well survived.

Apparently. They made people do things like kiss, ask people out on a date and sing at someone, based on the fillings. [She actually got sang at, but she's not technically complaining about that one.]

And there was a sad cake.

[whistles_the_blues]

[He returns the smile]

Martel, how've you been?

[heal_theworld]

[She laughs.] That is always a good thing.

[heal_theworld]

Pretty good. Nothing much has happened since... Yuan left. I've mostly stayed out of the way.

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm sorry that he went home on you. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. You wanted to play, right?

[He took a moment to look around at the instruments. Sure he could whistle, but he wouldn't mind trying to learn something else.]

A sad cake?

[heal_theworld]

Yes. I did promise, didn't I? [She turns back to piano.] I was just looking at the piano...

Friends

[heal_theworld]

Yes. It had a sad face on it in frosting. With a tear.

...I threw it out. [THANKS CASTLE.]

[whichwayyoulean]

I think so. And I was on my loss so the awkward levels were far less awkward than usual.

Friends

[wilder]

Wow. That's a pretty depressing sounding cake. Wonder what it did.

[whistles_the_blues]

You did.

[He ended up deciding on a guitar. He moved to pick it up and sling the strap over his shoulder.]

Your first time with one? Don't worry, I've only seen someone use one of these before.

Friends

[heal_theworld]

I have no idea. I'm sure someone ate one, though.

[heal_theworld]

That's always good, too. But then...were you walking around in the castle when people were eating the chocolates?

[heal_theworld]

Yes. Someone I know can play. [She presses a few keys, in a semblance of a melody. It's slightly off-key.] Pianos weren't really in a large supply in my world.

[whistles_the_blues]

[He strums the cords a little, it doesn't sound any better than her on the piano. He's only going off what he's seen so far.]

I don't believe they were a rarity where I'm from, I never saw many though.

Friends

[wilder]

Probably. People can be pretty thick here..!

[not_mafia]

Y-yeah... barely...

Friends

[selfless]

Yes! I didn't eat any of the chocolate.

[whichwayyoulean]

I was walking around the town, mostly.
