You laugh until you cry; you cry until you laugh

[sailorgenerous]

Who: Virgo musicians - Ghost Quest people and their friends
What: When eight musicians go missing, what happens to those left behind? What happens when those eight come back far worse for the wear?
When: Feb 1st-3rd and after
Where: Virgo HQ
Warnings: Talk of torture, violence, brainwashing, etc. It's ugly in here, folks.

The past three days have not been kind. The hauntings were odd, yes, but when your friends went missing without warning or a trace - well.

How have you been coping? Have you been coping?

And then they came back just as suddenly, and...it looks like your worries were not unfounded.

This isn't good, is it.

[ Oh. It isn't just making things hover. That stumble earlier was Goodman's doing and not something Virgo did to him. It's just the opposite, actually. ]

You might want to practice the lyrics alone for a while. Um, I'm mean, you'll want to control your voice well for it.

[ A flying Goodman is a lot harder to explain away as nothing than a cup is. He's already gotten into trouble from his involvement with rescuing Stella. What more could be done to him if they discover he has a power as well?

And with Goodman's excitement over it, Ivan's more worried about the man than he was before. ]

i just stopped myself from researching if there's an article on how the heroes take their coffee D|

I would never dream of using an unpolished song in front of an audience. [ Using an unpolished song? He meant to say technique. No, he meant to say sing. ] Nor would I subject anyone to anything less than a perfect pitch.

[ (Cyclone Tornado! You can do it!)

Keith finishes the rest of his coffee in a large gulp. It's supposed to be satisfying but his face is full of regret. So bitter... Why... ]

Thank you for listening. And-- [ thanks again. unspoken, forgotten words at tip of his tongue. He looks downright confused. It's great that Ivan knows, or probably knows, about his new mysterious power, but his confusion runs deeper now than ever before. ]

I don't think I've seen one =|a

[ Ivan hopes that Goodman got his meaning. It sounds like he did, so that's good. A relief. Hopefully, Goodman won't get into further trouble with Virgo for a while.

Finishing his own drink, Ivan almost misses the thanks, but he wonders if he missed hearing something else. ]

... And...? Um, actually. Thanks for the drink.

[ Even though Ivan had planned to treat Goodman originally before he started talking about matcha lemonade. He still intends to. ]

The next one is on me.
