003 - White and Black

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Misaki appears on the Plane, this time with a grand piano in tow. For a cop, she certainly seems to enjoy stealing things.

She looks around for a long time, making sure she can see no one within shouting distance, and then lays her hands tentatively on the keys.

The song comes out clumsy at first, her fingers stumbling on the keys, trying to remember old positions. She pauses constantly to check and make sure no one is around before continuing.

Finally, it starts to get easier. The keystrokes come faster. Fiercer. Her fingers flash across black and white like spider legs winding a cocoon. She closes her eyes and forgets to look around, losing herself in the sweep of Rachmaninoff.]

[Her playing becomes more fluid again.] Oh... It must be hard for you, sometimes.

[Blinks, a bit confused by the statement.] I don't know...what do you mean?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I... [She stops playing and frowns.] That's right. Um... Never mind.

Is there something I could play for you? I might not know it, but I can try.

[Frowns a little but says nothing.]

Oh, I don't really know any songs...[Makes a note to ask Yin what that one piece was next time he sees her.]

[Ponders.]

Well then... Tell me what sort of things you do like. I'll try to find a song to match.

[contract_star]

[Shrugs.] I don't know what kind of songs I like...[He's not even being difficult.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Not music, then. Just things.

[contract_star]

...Stars...I guess. No one's really asked me that before. Not when they know what I am, anyway. [No bitterness, he's just stating facts.]

[She starts playing a song written after the Gate's appearance, a slow, wistful tune.]

[He goes quiet and listens, a small smile spreading across his face.]
