Sing it to the World (Open) « Thread Started on Apr 2, 2012, 7:25am »
Mari closed the door behind her and felt it click before she shuffled over to the piano and sat herself down. She'd actually gotten out of the storefront for her daily practice. Most thought she never left the store but the truth was that she just tended to leave when no one was about. It was easier than trying to go with a crowd or having someone worry. Cerberus could always contact her if he needed. She kept her cell phone on her at all times.
She turned and lifted the lid on the piano and began to absentmindedly play "Somebody to Love" by Queen on the Keyboard. She remembered her adoptive mother crying when it had been announced Freddie Mercury had died. She hadn't registered why at first and then she had some of the greats die from her generation. She sighed and began singing. Her voice rising up with passion and power. If there was a way that she prayed to the powers that be this was it.
Most people would have called her a park and bark. She couldn't dance and her dad had been death on show choir when she was a teen. Now she just sang for herself and to hell with what those arrogant elitists said. She didn't have to worry about divas any more. It was a relief actually just being able to sing for herself. Not to listen to people go "Oh wow, you can sing too?? That's amazing!" like disabled people couldn't sing and the minute one had a set of pipes folks crawled all over themselves to shake your hand. It was disgusting and she hated it.
Can anybody find me somebody to love? Each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord what you're doing to me I have spent all my years in believing you But I just can't get no relief, Lord! Somebody, somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life I work till I ache my bones At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own - I get down on my knees And I start to pray Till the tears run down from my eyes Lord - somebody - somebody Can anybody find me - somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday - I try and I try and I try - But everybody wants to put me down They say I'm goin' crazy They say I got a lot of water in my brain Got no common sense I got nobody left to believe Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord Somebody - somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm I just keep losing my beat I'm ok, I'm alright Ain't gonna face no defeat I just gotta get out of this prison cell Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love Can anybody find me somebody to love?
The song ended and she sighed her fingers went into a completely different tune. The Maple Leaf Rag coming to her fingers as easily as breathing. It was a mid level piece and sometimes had been played by 2 people but she could handle it on her own just fine. Heck she doubted anyone but Dagon and Cerberus recognized it. It was a popular piece in the 1900's and was the herald of ragtime music in the US. Scott Joplin had composed it and it was debated whether the movements were a reflection of his mental decay from syphilis but she just knew she liked it.
Her fingers shifted to "In the Mood" by Glenn Miller. Granted she was the only one and the big band piece needed more to sound good but hey she worked with what she had. She'd probably put it on the sound system in the store when she was done here just to see what folks would do.

Mitchel walked down the halls. His sister had asked him to flip pages for her singing instructor while she got extra practice. But in true Lelola fashion, a demon had distracted her, and she'd called her instructor to reschedule... But did she call her little brother? No. Lelola might be Mitchel's favorite sibling, but sometimes he had to think seriously about her.
He sighed then stopped and leaned against another piano room. There was music coming from the room, and he didn't recognize it, but he smiled listening to it. He'd have to find out the name and download it to his classical list for those days he wanted to drive Tom nuts. He tapped his foot, his anger at his siblings starting to ebb as the music bounced on. He smiled at himself, it was a happy bounce.

Mari finished the tune and placed the lid down on the piano gently, there was a rustling in her bag and she put it carefully over her shoulder before opening it and seeing Watson yawning playfully and churring at her, "Glad you liked it Watson. I always love a ferret that appreciates music." she scooped him out of the carrier and adjusted his harness that made him a therapy pet. He hated it of course and tried to wiggle around. She opened the door and walked out. Setting him on the ground on his leash and watching him war dance away from her, "You silly ferret." she muttered as she looked down at hiim.
She totally didn't see Mitch leaning against the door till she bumped into him, "Oh I'm sorry, my ferret distracted me." she said as she took a step back and picked up Watson, gently she stuck him back in the bright blue carrying bag and let him right himself so he could watch Mitch through the little ferret window. She reached into her jean purse and pulled out some hand sanitizer washing her hands with it and making sure they were dry before offering her hand to shake, "Hi, sorry about that. My name is Mari and this bundle of energy is Watson the wonder ferret." she murmured.
He was totally hot, totally out of her league and old enough to be her kid. Granted, as a witchlighter she aged far slower than a lot of the population but she wasn't immortal by any means. "So...I'm sorry if you wanted to use the room. I didn't think anyone would be practicing at this hour." Darn it sucked to be old. He was the type of guy that you saw on Anime shows like Oran Host Club and Vampire Hunter D or something like that. She pushed her glasses up on her nose and dusted off her boyfriend blue jeans and pink top, "So...I'll just be going...in the opposite direction with the rest of the geeks..."
Her body turned to go and Watson chittered loudly at her, "What is it you?" she muttered as she looked down at him.

Mitchel sensed the door open but wasn't able to move out of the way in time. He smiled at her. "No worries. I have a monkey at home, a little hellion on paws..." He stopped and wondered if he should have said that at all... The last time he'd been on campus alone, a certain pain in the ass Zoanthrope had gotten Hellion Demons summoned onto the campus. Mitchel wasn't quite sure, but he was still certain it was another Zoanthrope group that enjoyed eating other Zoanthropes. He was hot on their tale, and ready for blood shed. He blinked back in to hear "the wonder ferret," and smiled. "I'm Mitchel. It's nice to meet you," he said shaking her hand and bowing slightly.
"No worries. We're all geeks about something." He said and actually managed to step out of the way before they bumped into each other again. As the ferret chittered Mitchel leaned down and put his finger out for it to bite. "Yes, Watson the Wonder Ferret. It was nice to meet you too," he offered much the same way he would have spoken to his own Daichi.

Mari grinned and winked, "This guy knows how to get help when needed." she explains quietly as she gestured to the carrier and the ferret bounced happily in place. "Watson here is just generally happy most of the time." she caught a scent of brimstone and it made her crinkle her brow in worry. She needed to get him out of friendly fire.
Watson nipped his finger lightly as he offered it and then churred happily, "He likes you." she said softly as she looked at him. She flushed as she looked at him, "Well, I gotta go. The buses only run every so often and my boss is a bit of a stickler for me being at work on time." she could smell the brimstone stronger and she bolted with her awkward speed as she made her way out to a more condusive space for trouble.
She glanced about and saw them looking for her, the teltale tattoos giving them away at once. Her mind began to slow down as she watched their body language, they were cocky and joking with each other as then began looking down hallways. They were close to Mitch and she had to get their attention. Slipping her bag off her shoulder she opened the carrier and sent Watson for help. Moving the bag out of her way she tossed a rock and watched it land short, "Hey! You! Yeah you loser...." then she ran towards them. Causing them to startle as she hit them solidly on the side conveniently distracting them from Mitch, "You want my autograph? HERE!" she drove her hand up into one guy's nose and heard the crunch of bone as his nose broke and he jerked back. She hit her knees and swung into action as she wrapped herself around the uninjured darklighter and gripped the tendons behind his knee and tore at them. The guy's knee buckled. He fell down. She had him.
Then she felt someone grip the back of her shirt and she went berserk. She turned and bit down on the darklighter's hand and tasted blood. He screamed and she heard the shink of a blade being drawn, she twisted and jerked and the guy that was holding her gasped and was vanquished by his own friend. <<Give up, loser I'll take you out too.>> she clicked at him in Whitelighter as she scrambled out of the way and felt wall behind her.

"I see that. Hello there." Mitchel smiled at the small beast as he chirred at Mitchel. He too caught the scent but tried to remain calm... He didn't know who this girl was... He couldn't risk yet another scene. But perhaps this one might know about the Hellions... She made a comment about needing to get to work and Mitchel determined that it was more important to help the innocent. He stood up and was about to offer her a ride when she took off down the hall.
Mitch watched in horror as the two dark lighters zeroed in on Mari, there was nothing he could do at this point, she was going to... Fight back? Mitch stopped in his tracks as he watched her fight the two Shadowlighters. He smirked impressed and reminded himself, Never underestimate a woman. She clicked in whitelighter as he started his run back up. He slid into place between her and the beast and smiled. "Stop."
He puffed up as the demon stopped in its tracks. "Do you know anything about Hellion demons? Or are you just after Mari-san and myself?" He waited for the answer then snarled. "Are you stupid or something?" he asked when no reply came. The demon continued to stared over Mitchel and Mari's heads and Mitchel became more enraged. "Fine!" he shouted and grabbed the blade. A kick to the head sent the demon down and a stab in the guy made him go poof. Mitchel snarled. "I hate Shadowlighters... I really do..."

There was a part of Mari that never expected to see a witchlighter go all Ninja Assasin on someone but sure enough here was Mitch playing second string hitter with a tracker shadowlighter.
"Yeah Shadowlighters are just annoying. Sorry you had to put up with that. Didn't know you were a witchlighter." she said sheepishly as she tried to right herself. "Hey let me make it up to you. There's this place down the street that makes awesome jelly donuts." she says as she made a soft clicking noise and Watson appeared and crawled back in his carrier.
She winced as she bent over and picked the purse up, "So what's your story?" she asked him as she looked up at him and began shuffling in the direction where powdered sugary heaven lay. She needed a coffee dammit.
