something something start dash

[ Well, now that Esme's thrown down the gauntlet they have little time to waste getting everything ready and the thing idols need most are songs to perform. Right now having at least one song ready is the priority (though preferably more than that), so when he's not helping out with Plan Cancel Esme he's got his hands full with trying to work out something for the girls, even if it's just a melody.

He's got the sheet music he found of songs that used to be Kotori's and is doing his best to use what he has to try and turn them into songs reminiscent of her but still something new. He's got his harp out of course and is alternating between playing for a while, stopping, making adjustments, starting again with the changes, and so on and so forth. ]


Mmm, the second page is missing from this one but if I can compose a suitable bridge after the second chorus it should be fine...

[ He'll worry like stuff like... the actual instrumentation later.

When he needs a break he plays songs he actually knows just to get himself out of the rut, including the one from his most recently returned memory. Sometimes he even gets up and takes everything with him for a change of scenery, going from Executor House to somewhere outside when he feels he needs it... or just wants an excuse to go buy a snack because this is Beast we're talking about after all.

He's still at it even late in the evening (though he's trying to focus on lyrics just as to not be disruptive), so if you're around the Executor House you might catch him either lost in thought as he tries to think of something or dozing off over his work. ]

[ It's a little later in the day – not quite evening yet, but getting there – when Rei pokes her head into the room. ]

Beast? Are you still working?

[ She looks like she's not quite sure if she should be interrupting – and probably more importantly, she's holding a huge fast food bag that by the look and smell of it is very clearly full of food. ]

Yes. I thought, since you've been working all day, it might be a good idea to bring you some food...

[ Mostly as a distraction. He's been working so hard that she's not sure she could talk him into taking a break without some sort of food-based bribe. ]

I don't exactly know how to cook, though, so it's just fast food. Is that okay?

[ That's probably the answer she should've expected, huh. But still, seeing him so enthusiastic puts a little smile on her face as she makes her way over and settles herself down next to him. ]

I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I sort of got one of everything... it's a good job there's so many things in the convenience store we can take down to trade...

[ She's unpacking the food as she speaks... it looks like she's got a mcdonalds fuckin feast in there. holy crap. ]

[ DON'T CALL HER OUT... ]

Well– I thought, you'd probably been working all day, so you wouldn't have had much to eat yet. And this way, even if we don't eat all of it at once, you'll have some more to eat if you keep working into the night.

[ See! She thought ahead. ]

[ That's honestly fair, there's about... seven servings of fries here??? Dear god, Rei. ]

How has the writing been going? It must be hard trying to fit together all these songs into one.

[ Her face visibly falls. ]

I really wish there was more we could do to help... writing a song can't be easy and you have two to do. I'm sorry we're putting this much work on you...

[ She munches thoughtfully on a fry. ]

I... really don't know. Before we came down to Invidia, I'd never even listened to music like this, so I'm not really sure what would would.

[ She plucks another fry out of her mountain of them and sticks it morosely in her ketchup. ]

Maybe something about... the way we fight as Executors?
