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. ]

[ He's moved all his notes and sheet music out of the way so she can start unpacking everything and... damn girl, that's a lot. ]

Goodness, are the two of us even going to be able to eat all this on our own?

[ By which he means will he be able to because he knows you girl and he knows you're just going to eat the fries. ]

[ 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. ]

[twibeast]

Ah, I see. How very considerate of you then, putting this much thought into it. I greatly appreciate it.

[ He reaches over and takes a fry to munch on, because hell no you're not getting ALL the fries. ]

[phantasmagorial]

[ 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.

[twibeast]

Mm, it’s much more difficult than I thought it would be, I can say that for certain. Only having one instrument and little knowledge of the technology here makes it a bit difficult to imagine how it all sounds. Additionally I don’t think one song will be enough, so I’m trying to get a few more done.

[ 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...

[twibeast]

[ he smiles ]

It is all right, do not fret about it. I would not have offered to do this if I did not feel up to the task.

That said... what sort of song would you like to sing? We still have the lyrics to do, giving me an idea of what to write would be most helpful.

[ 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?
