heaven: pre-opening

[fending]

Welcome to the opening of the newly remodelled bar, now a proper tavern with a full restaurant! Basilio and Fidelio are both dressed up nicely for the occasion and happy to greet you! Eupha and Yves get to be seated and place their orders first as the VIPs of the day, followed by Jiaoqiu and Taair. Enjoy the best cooking Euchronia has to offer!

Sometime after everyone has their food, Fidelio will go to the stage and pick up the microphone to sing a song — he's no Tony Bennett, but he has a nice voice and puts a lot of feeling into it (though he'll get a little pink and turn the other way if you look at him too long, stop that).

A request... I don't know what I should ask! I don't really have all that much exposure to music.

[ leaning in a little and lowering his voice: ] What should I ask for?

[berserketype]

Well...

[ leans in and also lowers his voice: ] Ask him to sing somethin' he really likes for you. Like a lesson in good music.

[historicals]

[ holds up menu to hide behind so they can't be seen (are there even menus) (probably not) ]

Something he likes... well, alright - do you think he'll agree....?

[berserketype]

[ no he's just hiding behind a placemat i hope this is really unsubtle and del just kills them with his laser vision ]

If y'ask nicely, I don't see why not. He's just embarrassed.

[historicals]

[ even funnier yeah absolutely. taair puts his book up to help. subtle. ]

Why - there's nothing to be embarrassed about! He sounds very lovely. Alright! I'll ask. You can count on me.

[berserketype]

[ no one will ever know. ]

Yeah, but he don't do it often. I reckon he gets stage fright? Or somethin' like that. Had to really plead with him to sing today too.

[historicals]

We shall have to continue to encourage him then. He has a lovely voice.

...Is he looking? Can we put these down now?

[berserketype]

He'll get all flustered if you tell him, but... you should tell him.

[ peers over the top of the placemat to see if del is looking ]

[fending]

[ he is ]

[berserketype]

[ hi del ]

[fending]

[ hhhhh ]

[berserketype]

[ why is he so cute.

RADIATES PROUD EMOTIONS VERY AGGRESSIVELY ]

[historicals]

Fidelio!

[ clasps hands together immediately and gives off the emotion of animal crossing flowers (and a little bit of mischief) (caught) ]

Would you be willing to take a request, perhaps?

[fending]

[ oh

meanwhile his emotions are kind of pleased but also very self conscious ]

Er... maybe? Just— not sure I'll know it, I mean.

[historicals]

No, no, I am certainly sure you will.

[ he can feel the self consciousness - there's a genuine encouraging warmth in his own in return, smiling at him. ]

...Truthfully, I don't much have knowledge of music. I've not had many chances to experience it, outside of hymnals and the like. So... I was wondering if I could ask you to sing a song that you really like - I'd like to hear it. Please?

[fending]

[ to be fair he actually does really like that tony bennett song he just sang and put a lot of thought into picking it for the occasion, but it's true that another singer's songs are the first to come to mind when he gets this request. ]

...Well. Don't have any background music for it, so I don't know how good it'll actually sound, but. S'pose I can try one of Lady Junah's songs.

[ he picks the microphone back up, and after a moment of hesitation and a deep breath, sings as good of a solo a capella rendition of this song as he can manage.

if anyone in this room actually knows how to read music they might notice that the music notes on his halo match up perfectly with the first few measures of this song he's singing. ]

[historicals]

[ that's what i fucking thought you'd do you big baby

like i imagine the rest of the group is, taair listens, enraptured - fidelio has his whole attention, resting his chin in his hand. about halfway through, he does close his eyes, and his head bobs a little in time with the acapella rendition, just... enjoying it.

and by the end - he claps, of course, his emotions warm and bright. interest, fascination, pure, warm joy and a little pride? you did it! ]

That was beautiful.

[fending]

[ there's a lightness and clarity to his emotions while he's singing, but as soon he puts the microphone back down and registers the applause and the accompanying wave of warm feelings coming his direction, his own twist back into a jumble of pleased and flattered and grateful and embarrassed and really fond of junah. ]

Ah... Well, I mean, it's Lady Junah's song, so...

[ she should be the one to get the credit, probably??

...still, it's nice to hear, and his face gets a little pinker as he steps away from the stage, rubbing his neck. ]

...But thanks. Glad you liked it.

[berserketype]

[ just here like

:D :D :D :D that’s lady junah’s song. ]

[historicals]

Then a beautiful song by a wonderful songstress, well performed by a wonderful singer. Bravo, bravo!

[ cute... the fondness for junah is so charming and cute too, and taair props his chin in his hands, delighted - and even more so, when he takes the compliment! yay. just pinging happiness emotions! he will not embarrass fidelio too much more after that though, even if it is very genuine, and instead just flashes him a warm smile.

that and, of course, he nudges out the seat beside him and pushes a water over, then pats the seat. come, sit! ]

If you're ready for a well deserved break, will you come sit with me?
