“You can't shake the feeling. Be quiet not one sound. But the wind seems to speak, Something's here in the room with me.” ☆THE STREETS ARE EMPTY Juno arrives without notice. In fact, you can’t even really remember seeing her approach. One moment you’re doing your business, and the next she is telling you that you have to come down to the basement with her, in order to complete a “task” you’ve been assigned. This sort of thing would seem preposterous to a normal person, but even if you don’t realize it, you aren’t one. As Mr Blanche’s personal assistant and sometimes second in command, her word seems to carry almost as much weight as his does.You don’t really have any choice but to agree. “Bring whatever instrument you know best,” she says. “You’ll need it.” She snaps up every one of you that she sees in her initial sweep, and soon she has a whole pack of Virgo newbies following her down to the lowest floors of the residential tower. It feels weird, but it’s like you can’t quite articulate why. No one else seems to be able to either. Most of the lights are turned off on those lower floors, but it’s easy to tell it’s a place you’ve never been before. It’s strangely...hospital like, down there, in both aesthetic and a sense of sterility. Maybe some kind of laboratory setting? Which seems like a super weird thing to be in the basement of an apartment building, but this is yet another thing you can’t quite bring yourself to ask about. Juno leave most of the lights off, except for a few central features. The ambience is dim and cold.  She tells you not to stray, and you don’t. The thought of going against her becomes somehow repulsive, like you don’t even want to think about it too long. You try not to think about your surrounding too hard, either. She lines you all up, and then after some strangely intense eyeballing, she starts breaking you up into some incredibly lopsided groups that seem to have nothing to do with your actual bands. In the end, she looks disappointed with resulting teams, but carries on regardless. Each “group” is given some complexly timed sheet music and a funny looking mobile speaker. She says that you have a half hour to compose a group piece to play alongside the sheet music , and that it needs to be good. Then, she wanders off to start pacing the basement in a strangely arcane series of movements, and leaves you all to it. Only among your peers do you start feeling like you can voice any of your previously stowed concerns, but make sure Juno doesn’t overhear you – occasionally she’ll come by to bluntly critique anyone who is performing inadequately. You feel lucky that she doesn’t have a whip with her, because you’re almost certain that she’d use it without much remorse. ☆THE SEANCE The performance is about as awkward as you’d expect, given the set up. The four groups are set up so that they’re facing each other, as if standing at the corner of a square. Each speaker is set up in the center of its group, and the precisely timed electronic beat that plays from them is what you’re supposed to perform along to. Odds are that you do your level best, but, outside of your control...something goes wrong. “Have you ever felt... Something evil, Lurking around? The moon is full, The streets are empty. Shadows cover the town.” |

"Ah. Yosuke Hanamura. One of the boys from Flashstep. We...met at the party on the first."
no subject
"Which one is Yosuke? Not the curly haired one I talked to at the gala. Is he the blue-eyed light-haired one with the long pointy hair?"
no subject
She's not entirely sure what he's doing, but she laughs. It's...wow, dad. Wow!
"He's nice. And cute."

You know, the things that she herself might want for herself, but not on a boy.
no subject
"You've never talked to me about boy before so... How am I supposed to know?"
no subject
Mostly it's that he's honest and genuine. And he is a good person as far as she can tell.
"I don't think he'll hurt me or that he's capable of it, either. Remember I do practice Aikido."

"Only the best for Miss Rei Hino. That's what I want for you." Shoving his hand back in his pocket, he adds, "Any trouble and you know I'll have your back. I haven't dated in a few years but I can offer what advice I can."
He blinks, finally giving his own history some thought. Yes he'd dated a few girls in college but in highschool he had been dismissed as a nerd until senior year when the little rockband he had joined performed publicly at last. Yes, he liked to think he was just as good as Luce to turn to for relationship advice, if not better, what with her nearly becoming a nun before, but now what he thought about it...
"I haven't had any girlfriends," he realizes aloud. In that second he forgets Rei is there with him as he whispers aloud, "...I'm a virgin. I haven't even been kissed have I? Have I?"
no subject
Only, that train of thought goes completely off the rails like a train going too fast around a tight bend. Her thoughts come to a screeching halt. She didn't want to know about his sex life, really but that didn't add up...
"Doctor, are you sure you're not more muddled than you think? Surely you've been kissed...and you just said you'd dated before."
