'I recall you tell me you'd learned a few new things on the piano. Care to join me in the music room and show me?'

[End Filter]

[Filter to Jorge]

'How about a little sparring match to test out how far my spells have come since I got them back?'

[End Filter]

[Filter to Five or Yuan]

'I was informed by Felix Harrowgate to speak with either of you about joining the Peace Patrol.'

[End Filter]

[After all the filters are out of the way, Jade sits down in the music room on the piano. For now, he feels like kicking back and relaxing and not writing or practicing his spells. So, he'll just open his journal and let everyone enjoy some music. He wished he could say it was completely accurate to the song, but almost everyone here wasn't from his world, so where he messed up wouldn't be noticed. And for all he could, this was the best at the piano he could be. Anything more challenging would put his fingers in knots and his head in circles. However, this was good enough and he was sure a little peppy tune wouldn't be negative to anyone.]

((OOC: Open to all over journals or in person in the Music Room!))

Ah, hello. ... Jade, is it? I believe we spoke a few months ago. ... If you still want to join the Patrol, you're welcome to it, but I'll warn you, it's somewhat in a bit of a mess at the moment.

'Yes. And so I've gathered. Felix has allowed me to join Chimera but has told me to speak with others in the event of joining the Peace Patrol.'

[cricketycricket]

Well, if he's willing to vouch for you, I see no reason why you couldn't join. We've got our work cut out for us, collectively, though, I will warn you.

'Another thing that I've heard, with the outposts, mainly. I've also heard something of prisoners being an issue.'

[soccerwhisperer]

[Sometimes, he checks the music room, in hopes that his captain will be there playing that grand piano. Today, he hears the music and gets excited, only to find someone else at the bench playing.

Still, he's polite enough to not leave and wait until the man was finished playing]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade gives him a glance, but keeps playing through the song. He doesn't want to pause, or he'd probably lose the momentum he's got. However, when it is completed, Jade stops and looks to the boy.]

'You look like you were expecting someone else.'

[soccerwhisperer]

[he scrambles to dig out his journal to see what this man wrote]

S--sorry! I heard piano playing, and I thought my soccer club's captain was here. He's really good at playing the piano too.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'I'm not going to bite you. However, I haven't seen anyone else here today.'

[Save for others who have dropped by to enjoy the music.]

'Though I wouldn't know what he looks like.'

[ Duke is listening somewhat curiously.

At a point where Jade seems to be taking a break, he might catch Duke talking from the journal. Is it to himself? Maybe. ]

Unsure if should be surprised, or take it as expected; magic seems to be tied toward musical structure, not too far of a stretch to be musician as well....

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade remains silent as he plays, letting Duke talk all he wished. After all, How Duke would know it was Jade in the first place was a curiosity, but honestly, Jade didn't really care. He was playing his piano and he was going to keep doing that.]

/dictated(?)

[radiantwingedone]

[ This is a really good question.

Maybe Duke is just a ninja and picked up on little shifting sounds through the journal that he sticks to "This is Jade".

Okay, Duke's just going to... sit here and listen. It's weirdly cheerful, this music. ]

[wheatdos]

[Wheatley wanders into the music room with a sledgehammer he stole. Cool. He looks at Jade for a bit, nods.]

"Hey mate. Didn't expect you to be here, of all places. Don't mind me, y' know. Just passing by. Th-there was something I forgot to do here."

[Wheatley approaches, laughs a little. He looks actually... a bit content.]

"You like music mate? You know, I like music too. Great. Fantastic... M-mozart, Chopin... fascinating. Classical happens to be my favorite."

[He nods a few times, mulling something over in his head. And then with a quick movement, he swings the sledgehammer into the piano. AND THEN AGAIN. AND THEN AGAIN, It makes a terrible sounds until he stops, when the piano is a mangled mess of useless.

He gasps for some air, messes up his blonde hair, and then he nods at him.]

"There we go. G'day mate."

[RUNS OFF.]

You dun goofed, mate.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[You know, Wheatley. Jade thought you were silly and fun. He had fun messing with you and seeing how to get you riled up. You really were just a fun guy, and he was sure you weren't all yelling and whines and frustration.

But now? You're target practice.

The doors slam shut thanks to a strong gust of wind and the handles to the door melt. Jade stands and turns to face Wheatley, the most pleasant smile that could ever be mustered on his face.]

'That wasn't very nice at all, was it?'

[He takes the pen from the journal page, the tip glowing a gold hue as he begins to write in the air.]

'Grant mine enemies a final rest

Flame Burst'

[Without further warning or hesitation, four spiraling columns of fire come flying at Wheatley from all sides. Jade, however, goes back to the piano and wishes up a new one, the old remains building themselves back up into a brand-spankin' new piano.

Which Jade begins playing again.]

Isn't that what I do best?

[wheatdos]

"Wait. Wai-wait a moment. What are you, what are you doing? Wait a moment mate, stop that, stop tha- STOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPIT GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."

[Yep. Nope, he'd just kinda be on the ground, really REALLY really singed. Wheatley unfortunately luckily won't die that easy. However, he looks really REALLY pissed. Gritting his teeth and everything. His voice is lower too. ]

"You practice that... "magic", don't you, mate?
Or maybe since it could be on equal grounds, should I call you Jade."

[He says his name with a bit of an accent. Now who could've given him that information?]

These two always brighten my day. I can't even

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Who indeed? Jade keeps on playing his piano. Whether he's allowing Sir Human to continue talking or he's trying to ignore him is unclear, but he'll keep on going.

However, he does notice the tone change and keeps that in mind, as well as wondering who gave the man his name. He'll have to find out somehow. For now, piano concentration.]

[waterbends]

[And Katara will just be poking her head into the music room, looking for Jade.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade's still playing the piano, not too far from the entrance. In fact, if she gets a good look around, she can easily spot the blue of Jade's uniform at the grand piano.]

[waterbends]

[And Katara comes up behind him, folding her arms behind her back as she waits for him to finish playing the piano.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Which he does after a decent time. When he is done, he turns to look at her, then scoots over on the large piano chair so she can take a seat next to him.]

[heartscrepes]

[Yuri's still wandering, trying to get used to the place still when he hears some music coming out of one of the rooms. Being bored he decided to take a quick peek in to see what's going on. It was an old man playing the piano. Huh. Well, he had a few minute to kill so he'll just lean against the wall and take a listen to it for a bit.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade hears the door open, but keeps playing. People have been coming in and out all day. Not a bad thing, but Jade's learned to ignore it for now. However, as the person stands and hangs out, Jade gets that he's probably listening to Jade play. He doesn't mind, so he keeps on going for now.]

[heartscrepes]

[He'd never actually heard that much of music like this. Sure festivals had songs and even the lower quarter had a few instruments but pianos were for the rich and he'd only seen them in house he...visited. He closes his eyes, not really in the mood to leave just yet, he hasn't had anything planned. He's pretty good...he thinks.]

Colonel Curtiss

[noblefive]

You've got them back? That's good to hear, sir.

Sure. Any time that's good for you.

Jorge

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'It took a bit of testing and work, but I've gotten most of them back. However, I haven't quite gotten my large spells, but I don't think I'll need Forbidden Artes in a spar.'

[You have escaped Meteors, Lightning from heaven, and a cage of light. Hooray!]

Colonel Curtiss

[noblefive]

Well if they're forbidden, maybe it's best not to use 'em.

[Totally missing the meaning.]

I'm free whenever you are, sir.
