Tenth Suite♪

[tsunmuse]

[Park - Open to All]

[It was secluded enough for Ako as she changed into her costume. Boots, thigh highs, bodysuit... within minutes her makeshift Cure Muse Black outfit was on. Now came for the hard part.

Summoning up her magical organ, she tested the keys and was relieved to note that her magic was still strong. With that, she began to play a lively tune, moving into a obvious second stanza, and then a third and a fourth. Each song was lively and energetic in its own way and she continued to cycle these songs as magic flowed around her, floating into notes as she continued to play.

She wished she could do this in the privacy of her own house, but like always, Ako felt like she couldn't do this without people finding out who she was. So in the park, music was heard that day.]


[Later That Afternoon - Open to All]

[Ako was headed home after her performance. It was tiring to keep the magic going for that long, and she almost tripped over a crack in the road. Darnit. Her fairy tone Dodori gazed on her, worried but saying nothing.]

Action ; Afternoon

[Heading home from school, Latvia eventually comes across someone vaguely familiar on his path]

Hey!

[He jogs up to walk along side her]

Ako, was it? It feels like I haven't spoken to you in ages. You remember me, right?

Re: Action ; Afternoon

[tsunmuse]

[Ako nodded at him.]

Raivis, wasn't it? I remember you. [She had a good memory after all.] Good to see you again.

Action ; Afternoon

[balzams]

Ah, really? I'm glad.

[Even though he'd seen her come in and out of the house often he'd never really taken the time to speak to her]

So... how have you been anyway? I know a lot of things happened...

[It seems like a rather anxious question, despite being the next logical step in the conversation]

Re: Action ; Afternoon

[tsunmuse]

I've been okay. I've done most of the chores in the house though, since I'm teaching my, um, older housemates how to do the laundry and cook.

[Ako was still loathe to call them parents. She only had two and a grandpa in her opinion.]

I managed to avoid anything dangerous though.

Action ; Afternoon

[balzams]

[He snickers a little at the fact she seems to be the one in charge. Then again, he was impressed by her maturity when they first met]

Really? That's good... No one should have to go through anything like that, especially not someone as young as yourself.

Re: Action ; Afternoon

[tsunmuse]

It's fine. If I were to let them cook at least, we'd end up burning the household down. Ambrosia's already demonstrated she's terrible with washing machines as well.

Action ; Afternoon

[balzams]

[He's kind of happy they didn't end up dwelling on the things that had happened in town. It's nice to try and act normally for a change]

If everyone comes from different worlds, maybe they came from one without washing machines?

So you cook too then? What kinds of things are you good at making?

Re: Action ; Afternoon

[tsunmuse]

Marvelous apparently does, but Ambrosia is from the 1800s.

Yes, I learned how to cook from my grandpa. I can make simple dishes such as hamburger stew, curry, fish and rice, salads and other such items.

Action ; Afternoon

[balzams]

It must be nice to someone close to you to teach you things like that. I learned to cook from lots of different people, although I guess they were all special to me in their own way.

Maybe I could teach you some Latvian dishes sometime. Have you ever heard of pīrāgi? They're rolls filled with bacon. They're really good, trust me!

[extraordinarily]

[... Music? Unluckily for Ako, Haruhi Suzumiya was very much a snoop. And on the plus side (at least, for her), she liked sneaking at people.

But why were people always doing weird things at the park. After she finished one of the songs, Haruhi pops out of almost nowhere, smiling as she grins, waving.]

Hi!

Re: action;

[tsunmuse]

[Unlucky or lucky? Either way, Ako gives her a quiet glance. But its not quiet for long before Dodori floats into view.]

Hello dodo. Did you like the music dodo?

action;

[extraordinarily]

It was okay.

[Of course she isn't phased at all. Nothing in Mayfield surprises her anymore. Instead, it does something different. It excites her.]

Re: action;

[tsunmuse]

Muse hasn't played in a while, so it was a good opportunity to try out playing music, dodo.

[Muse nodded as she touched a key on the organ, letting a crisp sound resound from the shimmering keyboard.]

action;

[extraordinarily]

I see!

[Haruhi nods triumphantly.]

Though what's with the costume? It looks like something out of a shoujo manga.

Re: action;

[tsunmuse]

Muse has to keep her identity a secret, dodo. She does not want to endanger anyone, with the knowledge of who she is, dodo.

[Muse nodded. It was hard, doing this in Mayfield but she felt more... herself when she was like this.]

action;

[extraordinarily]

... Really?

[Haruhi tilts her head to the right slightly, confused.]

Why would she endanger anyone... I mean, there's already a bunch of weirdos here who have weird secret identities at home! It's not like she's secretly a bad guy and if her identity is revealed the cops'll go after her.

Re: action;

[tsunmuse]

It is because Muse is a Precure, but we want to keep it a secret from everyone. If Muse were to unmask herself, it would cause trouble for those who seek to use her power.

[Sort of a half-lie at best. There was no one after her, but Ako was fiercely guarded about her abilities and trying to keep her lives separate.]

A

[kinship]

[Well now, what is this mysterious masked person doing playing an organ in the park? Don't mind Cain if he stops to listen in interest...]

Re: A

[tsunmuse]

[Ako continued to play, her fingers dancing across the keys as she shifted from one song to another. She was enjoying herself, much more than she would admit, but at the same time, feeling out the magical power that flowed from it.]

[kinship]

[Stepping a little closer, he waited until there was a natural pause in the music before applauding.]

Wow, that's great!

[tsunmuse]

[Muse looked up, acknowledging him with a nod as Dodori floated into view.]

Thank you dodo.

[kinship]

[Whoa, what the heck is that?]

Um... you're welcome?

[tsunmuse]

[Good he didn't seem to recognize who she was, and her disguise made her look like a teenager anyhow under that black outfit.]

Muse was wondering if you enjoyed the music, dodo.

[kinship]

Can she not speak for herself?

[Not that he especially minds conversing with... whatever the heck this is, but he had been complimenting her playing.]

[tsunmuse]

She prefers not to, dodo. She leaves her thoughts with me dodo.

[Muse nodded at that, blinking once.]
