Dancing All Night
Who: Everyone
What: A slumber party at the Observatory so the Heroes can experience something nice for once.
Where: Old Observatory
When: Night of May 12th - Morning of May 13th
Warnings: If your character comes, there's a huge change they'll catch the sickness from someone else who's infected but doesn't show the symptoms. Duster will have many regrets in the future.
[All those that had been invited to the Observatory tonight would see all the windows on the bottom floors lit up before sundown. Duster and Zelda had spent most of today setting up bedding and rearranging the furniture in preparation, and then Duster had to run back home to change into his new suit.
There were multiple rooms with lights set up. One has a corner turned into a makeshift stage where musicians could perform. Two had tables of food. Several rooms were left alone for partygoers to have private moments (Tamekichi suggested that). There was also a box of beer bottles as a sad attempt at a bar, with an empty bottle marking the area where party games were to be played, Spin the Bottle included (all that was Tamekichi's suggestion, too).
Duster greets the arrivals at the door with a soft smile, wearing a periwinkle suit, a white dress shirt, a red shit, and black dress shoes.]
Welcome to Club Ixen! It's time we had some fun.

Great. How does my part go? Can you hum it?
no subject
Like that. I can play it on the ocarina to help figure out the notes.
no subject
[She shuts her eyes, her head bobbing rhythmically, her lips and fingertips twitching as she plays the song in her mind. To get that note she holds down those fingers, a breath here, a slight waver here to add life to the melody... It takes a few moments before her lashes part.]
I think I've got it. Want to try the first verse, or just jump straight to the performance?
no subject
[He rolls his shoulders and straightens his back, prepared for the battle of song. It's not the same as training for a fight, but it requires just as much attention.]
Do the introduction bit first.
no subject
[Though her notes are pitch perfect, she has to play for a few seconds before she can start investing more emotion into her playing. Her wood flute carries the sad notes with just the slightest tremor, though she plans for it to come clear and strong once they reach the key change midway through. But for the first verse, keeping it demure and melancholy is the goal.]
no subject
He doesn't have that sort of life experience to drawn from, so it's not the tearjerking performance, but he's hitting the right notes. The real difficult part is after the key change where he has to belt out the lyrics.]
no subject
That's sounding good! Ready for the big performance, then?
[She's confident that she can play the flute well enough between the verses, with a few little trills here and there to support the more emotional passages in the last part of the song.]
no subject
[Well, he agreed, didn't he? Duster rubs his hands together, stands up, and straightens his back.]
To the stage?
no subject
[Grinning, she ushers him along if his feet seem to be dragging, excited to play a part in his singing debut. All he needs is a little confidence. Once he's got that, she's sure he'll be able to sing four times better, and then he'll really knock their pantaloons off.]
[Hopping onto the stage, she waits for him to do the same, then takes a step back to make it clear she's just part of the background. The show is his. But she's not going to play until he announces the song and the story behind it, so the audience can get the rich experience they deserve.]
no subject
Ahem. Excuse me? Hello? [Duster claps his hands two times.] I'm going to sing a song for you, with Rialynn on the flute.
