8th Turn [Audio/Action for Cloud Nine]

[Almost a month ago Ginia returned home, leaving the fine establishment of Cloud Nine without an owner and lead musician. Archie Kennedy and Adele Leblanc took over the roles grandly, but a debacle two weeks earlier involving a misplaced challenge and a confused new feather left Arsene Lupin III as a haphazard source of entertainment. The thief wasn't a musician by trade, and a mission had not gotten him his preferred instrument but one of similar make and deeper tone, but he was trying. No one could fault him for that. If patrons noticed the style of music take a turn toward classic rock, jazz, or old standards, it's his fault entirely.

Although Lupin was busy working on other projects, he remembered that the love of his life, Mine Fujiko had expressed a desire to sing on stage in passing. With Ginia there, she hadn't wanted to bother. An opportunist at heart, Lupin tasked himself with convincing her to step out on stage, just once, and sing with all of her heart. She wooed Nessie once with that voice of hers. Perhaps she could woo the audience too.

He knew he had to tread carefully. Fujiko's best skill, besides grifting and shooting, was betraying. It was entirely possible that she would steal his audience.]


[Dressed in a black suit jacket instead of the green he was wearing for the last few weeks, Lupin steps out onto the stage with a broad but cordial grin on his face. This was a show, and he was a showman at heart.]

Ladies and Gentleman of Luceti. Tonight, Cloud Nine is presenting you with a treat tonight. She's not new to the trade, but she is new to this venue. Please, can we have a warm round of applause for the talented and lovely Mine Fujiko!

[He's wearing black. She's wearing blue. His heart a flutter, Lupin reaches for his viola and starts to play.

When the timing is right, she sings. It's a lovely, heartfelt tone and a rendition of a classic that they both knew by heart.

Unbeknownst to Fujiko, Lupin has his journal tucked out of sight set to audio record the performance. It was proof for posterity, and a window for the rest of the village.

Enjoy, Luceti.]

And do you sneak into many rooms, Pervert-san? [And there is the slightest of edges behind her smile. But is it a threat or is it a troll game? Can you tell?]

That's a yes, of course.

I think you might find some homes more dangerous to break into others.

[And she's smiling but there might be an arm coming from the wall right behind you with fingers that flick you in the neck.]
doubleppk: (this is the life)

[personal profile] doubleppk 2012-05-22 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Laughs.] Quite sure.

Why, are you seeing things? You should get a doctor to look at that.

[No that's not passive aggressive at all, what are you talking about?]
toujoursfluer: (another smirk)

I agree, Trap-san. He does look a little crazy.

[And have hands poking and pulling at various intervals, bursting into petals in an instant. Why no, she's not a troll, why do you ask?]
doubleppk: (being sneaky)

Don't remind me of that guy... thing.... [Quiet shudder.]

And Lupin! How could you?! Would I do something like that to you?
toujoursfluer: (interesting)

[personal profile] toujoursfluer 2012-05-28 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Who is this?

[And the hands stop as she's momentarily distracted by curiosity.]
