002 ♫ Music

[musicite.livejournal.com]

[There is a heavy sigh before Zoisite lifts his hands to the piano (he's seated at one, in a nondescript room with billowing curtains at its windows). He closes his eyes.

Just as he's done every day, almost every moment, since arriving in this configuration of worlds, he reaches out through his music. He reaches through each communicator that the song passes through, feeling his way for Endymion's presence.

The piece is constant, steady, flying through its higher notes with amazing runs and arpeggios; to the listeners, it's likely to bring nostalgia and thoughts of times long past - childhood moments half forgotten, old friends and lovers. Zoisite opens his eyes.

Again, there is nothing. He cannot sense Endymion. The music shifts its mood, seamlessly. He speaks without interrupting the deft, sure movement of his hands, almost to himself.]

My music should also be able to repel these Heartless.

[There is a silence before Pluto says anything.]

Pluto. [The name serves as his greeting; he doesn't stop playing even as he responds to her.]

So long as they are away from here, it is not my concern.

[Not that she doubted the ability of the Keyblades and those who wielded it. Far from it; rather, the more ways to permanently stop them, the better, really.]

Would you stop playing that terrible music!?

[Hates your choice in music apparently. ]

Its not going to do you any good against the heartless!

[He takes this in stride, but the music doesn't falter even for a single note.]

I trust to my power against these creatures.

[stars-know-all.livejournal.com]

Trying to control them would work better…

_{[Another musician? Well, this is pretty neat. And awesome.]}

...Ever think 'bout taking stuff like that to Atlantica? I'm sure the locals would eat that up.

[It may as well be there as anywhere else, if the master is not here and the shitennou are separating anyway with Nephrite running away; but he will remain by Kunzite.]

I had not considered traveling. It holds little appeal.

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I was raised there since I was about two. How come you haven't been traveling? I mean... There's a ton of worlds here, right?

[There was that haunting melody again. Looking at the communicator.... it was obvious that other Zoisite. She wasn't sure that she'd ever know what to make of him, Least with the comms she could keep an eye on him. She refrained from saying anything though.]

Voice

[The music continues even as he speaks to her. Naru, he recalls.]

If you have a message, speak freely.

Voice

[share-a-parfait.livejournal.com]

[although it wasn't visible over the comm, she jumped when she'd been found out]

Oh.. I'm sorry. I .. I didn't really have anything to say. Not really.

[ She's content to sit and listen to the music for a while, but she is compelled, before long, to ask what is probably the most obvious of questions ever. ]

Is that a piano?

[ Video ]

[musicite.livejournal.com]

It is. [Ask an obvious question...

For a moment, he seems unlikely to say anything more. Then, finally, he does.]

I have found one even here.

[ Video ]

[lastesper.livejournal.com]

It ... doesn't look like the ones I've seen back home. It seems...grander.

Where did you find it?

[Action]

[shiroi-petals.livejournal.com]

[He's at it again, huh? Kunzite isn't really surprised. Zoisite has been a little... obsessed... since recalling his past.

At least this time, the memories the music brings up aren't upsetting. They're the same basic memories, but Endymion isn't a traitor in Kunzite's eyes now. Now, it's recalling a dearly missed friend and master and not taunting, mocking memories of a man who was never what they thought.]

I would be more surprised if you could not.

[Action]

[musicite.livejournal.com]

[Since remembering, he cannot ignore the situation they were all placed in. Could Kunzite, now?

Zoisite looks up with that calm, knowing smile even as his fingers still deftly find the right places.]

I would offer my assistance to you in that, but I do not think you have need of it.

[shiroi-petals.livejournal.com]

They are weak, nearly mindless creatures. [Such arrogance. But what else is to be expected from the leader of the Shitennou?

Besides, if they ever do come in a group large enough to best him, he suspects they would destroy the planet. One less world of refugees.]

You should test your theory sometime.

[It's the first song that draws Ed in. He's settled under a tree, knees drawn to his chest when the music plays. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. The memories that he is flooded with are bittersweet. Tears slide down his cheeks despite himself and without opening his eyes he swallows when the pieces are finished.]

Nice music.

[Ed murmured, unaware that he's been crying.]

[musicite.livejournal.com]

[He continues playing smoothly, even as he speaks; the music forms a constant background accompaniment. He does not ask whether Ed is troubled, in fact he gives no clear sign of whether he's noticed the tears himself or not.]

But it cannot reach where I wish it to. [Though the words are obviously regretful, he says them softly, and still calm.]

[alchemicgenius.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. [Ed says honestly, softly, but he rubs the back of his hand along his cheeks.]

I've never heard music like that before.

[guardiaprincess.livejournal.com]

There's not a lot of things that can repel the heartless, unfortunately. I've tried my ice attacks, and they don't work either.

[musicite.livejournal.com]

Repelling them is not difficult. However, I have been unable to destroy them.

[This, perhaps, bothers him; what good is a hollow victory?]

[ video ]

[violontides.livejournal.com]

( it's neptune here, to greet you again ) ... You're quite skilled.

[ video ] they absolutely need to play together sometime :D

[musicite.livejournal.com]

[He continues playing without pausing; it's hard to tell if he's even noticed the response until he looks towards the video. He does not need to watch the places his hands know to fall.]

Neptune. You have not heard my music before?

[Though he doesn't know it, it's small wonder; the Zoisite of her world had only once used music in this way, to call up the melancholy memories of the past for Sailor Mars and the others in his bid for revenge for Jadeite's defeat, well before Neptune had appeared to the other senshi.]
