Panting slightly after deciding to run from her home to the academy Mana walked through the gate leading to Ravencroft, waving to and greeting a few teachers as she made her way inside, she slipped her headphones off her head and listened to the first dregs of students making their way in behind her most groaning about how the weekend was over too soon. Blowing a bubble with the gum she was chewing Mana began walking down the hallways until she reached the music department and skipped into the piano room, sunlight gently filtering in through the blinds as various melodies leaked out from the headphones she wore around her neck and a grin crept up onto her face. Pulling her Mp3 player out of her jacket she paused her music and then proceeded to pull a fresh set of sheet music from her messenger bag as she approached the bench and shrugged the bag off her shoulder. Patting the bag that currently carried Duke's now completed gardening gloves that she could finally drop off to him (as long as she remembered to go to chemistry class anyway,) Mana straightened her posture and flipped the dust cover open she sat down and idly tapped a few keys as she shuffled through the sheets until she came across a song she wanted to play. |

The morning was much like any other for her, coming to school after a morning breakfast to get her day going. She greeted some of the teachers and students that passed by, least she did for the few that responded to her. Each was brief and quick, with unnecessary communication from the students around her. There was still time before the morning bell would ring to signal the students to go into their first classes, thus she decided to head by the music room, see if she could play some music to pass the time. The girl moved through the hallways to the music room she was opening the door to the room, she had heard another moving about in the room, though she was already opening the door by the time she noticed and was already looking towards the girl sitting at the piano. "My apologies." She spoke up, her British accent showing itself, though she was obviously Asian, "I did not realize there was another here. I wasn't interrupting anything was I?" She tried to remain as polite as she could, though it was apparent she was keeping a fair distance from the other girl in the room for some apparent reason. |

As Mana wrapped up the song she was playing she could hear motion behind her, and when she moved to turn around she heard an apology and a question as to if she was being interrupted "Hmm? Oh no, its fine I was just killing time 'til class starts." Mana shrugged before adding "'Sides I didn't realize other people actually liked to use this room too, figured I was like the only one that really came here." She waved her hand at the room before closing the dust cover on the piano and turning fully to face the new person. Noticing the distance between them and how she seemed to just stick to the doorway Mana motioned for the girl to enter the room "S'alright if you wanna come in y'know, there's no need to stick to the doorway I don''t bite or anything like that if its what you're worried about." There was a bit of a frown on her face as she spoke. "Besides, music's always more fun with others right?" Blowing another bubble with the gum she was chewing Mana gave the other girl a quick once over stopping to stare at her face "Not gonna lie though, I really feel like I've seen ya before in one of my magazines. But then again, you're alot shorter and far more reserved looking then the model I remember looking at." |

"I guess I cannot argue that." She had responded with the notion of her joining in with her as she walked in and closed the door behind her. She walked over to the piano as she examined the music sheet that was opened up, reading each of the lines examining the sheet as well as the name of the songs that were played. She looked back over towards the girl, the short comment was almost a stab at her ego, but she played it off as cool and composed as she could, afterall, there was no reason SHE should get upset over a comment like that. "You might be mistaken, I have not been in any magazines of any sort." Not her per say, though she looked down for a split second as if she was in her own train of thought, mumbling something under her breath, so inaudible it'd be barely considered words at that point. "Do you know any other pieces of music?" |

Mana's face grew into a small smile when the other girl conceded to her point and entered the room "Excellent, and as a plus that saves me from having to track down a tall goofball I know for company." She couldn't help but chuckle as she said that. Watching the girl move forwards to check out the sheet of music she had left atop the piano Mana offered her hand, the smile still on her face "Name's Mana by the way." She shrugged lightly when she was told that she had made a mistake and that the other girl hadn't been in any magazines "Eh, I figured I was mistaken you've just got one of those faces yanno? I mean s'just you do kinda look like this one girl from a fashion mag my papa brought back after his last trip to Japan, but I do apologize for putting you on the spot like that." She scratched her head in embarrassment as she spoke. However when she was asked if she knew any other pieces the smile on her face grew as she nodded "Oh, yeah quite a few actually." Motioning to the sheet atop the piano Mana added "This is just one I'm trying to learn for an exam in my music class." Pausing for a moment she raised her eyebrow at the other girl in amusement and asked "Why? You wanna hear something else? Or didja just ask outta curiosity?" |

"Tsukasa Yukimura" She had replied to her, sometimes she forgets basic common courtesy when speaking towards others. "I can assure you though, I have not been back to Japan since I was in grade school." Though she had said that, she had figured there might have been a possibility of somebody whom could potentially be the person this girl had seen before. But bringing light to that person could be risky for her. "An exam for music class, your teacher indeed chose a beautiful song to learn, if you were practicing for an exam, don't let me distract you, I can simply listen on the side." She spoke up after she realized the reason for her learning this song. |

"S'nice to meet you Tsukasa." Mana kept the smile on her face when the other girl introduced herself. Waving off the girl's explanation about how long ago she was in Japan she spoke up again "No worries, Japan honestly sounds like a nice country though. And I'd love to go there myself someday, even if just for a day." Leaning in towards Tsukasa, Mana added "And between you and me, I'm actually pretty jealous that my papa gets to travel so much." Mana added with a frown, she really would love to be that free within her life. Looking at Tsukasa in surprise when the girl mentioned that the song was beautiful Mana nodded in agreement "Yeah, it is really pretty isn't it?" She couldn't help but chuckle though when Tsukasa mentioned that she thought her teacher picked it "Oh, no, Actually my teacher didn't pick this I did." An embarrassed smile was etched on her face as she spoke. "She's uh, one of those 'pick the song yourself so youll put your heart into the recital' type people. So I've basically got five options right now. All in all I really just gotta pick one" She added as she motioned to her messenger bag. "And it's no big deal like I said I'm really only up here to kill time before class, but if all you wanna do is listen I won't complain its nice to have someone who'll listen to me play once in a while." Reaching down for her bag Mana opened it and slipped the other sheet back in before digging out a new one and turning back to the piano and lifting the dust cover back off of the keys. Setting the sheet music infront of herself Mana placed her bag back on the ground and stretched her arms before blowing one last bubble and beginning to play. |

"Well, you have a very good taste in music." She complimented while she had taken a step back and gave the girl some extra room to begin playing her music. It was quite a piece, powerful yet sad, she couldn't help but think about certain moments that would cause her to tear up and cry, though she simply stared down towards the piano letting the music take her off to a different world that it creates through the musician. She did not speak a single word during this entire event, did not make even the slightest sound, just enjoyed the music being played. |

"Thanks Tsukasa, I try to pride myself on my choice in music." After the song ended Mana looked over at the girl and saw the myriad of emotions that played across her face, and smiled lightly "I take it you thought the song was that good huh?" Pulling a folder out of her bag Mana slipped the sheet music back in and looked at the remaining three sheets for a moment before nodding to herself "Mmmn, actually I think I know which one I wanna play for the exam if you don't mind giving it a listen and then I'll switch out with ya and then you can play some music yourself if ya want." Grabbing a slightly worn piece from the remaining three Mana slipped the other two back into the folder. With a smile she placed the folder back in her bag and set the weathered sheet onto the stand "This song is one I've loved to play for the last few years now, only thing is its pretty mellow compared to the last one so I apologize if you get bored with it." And with that Mana allowed her fingers to start to do their work as they danced along the ebony and ivory keys as the song began. |

"Of course." She had replied as she let Mana take the stage again and begin playing her music. Simple and elegant, yet still a beautiful tune none the less. It amazes her everytime to see the kind of music that a piano is capable of. Certain points of the song began to feel sad while others were quite empowering, a beautiful piece of work being played by a rather talented musician on top of that. This seemed like someone who was taking the music they play rather seriously. "Splendid work Mana." |

"You sure? I mean its pretty slow compared to the last song and a lot less... What's the word? Evocative? No, thats not right..." She frowned as she tapped her cheek in thought before snapping her fingers "Ah, that's it, entrancing as the others." As she stood up from the bench and stepped back Mana gave Tsukasa a more appraising look "Hey, Tsukasa? Uh, sorry if this sounds a little odd but I wanna show you something and I want your opinion of whether or not you'd wear it." Picking up her messenger bag Mana placed it on the bench and began digging around in it for her small black sketchbook. After a few moments and muttered curses about how stupid it was that a book she always used was hiding from her Mana found what she was looking for. Flipping through the pages Mana let out a quiet "Aha!" as she found the image she was looking for, she handed it to Tsukasa. The image was one of her more feminine looking sketches, it looked like it had started off somewhat like a sailor moon cosplay outfit except somewhere along the way it was changed and the skirt was lengthened somewhat akin to a ballroom gown, and the chest was less sailor uniform and more dignified, as it was now sleeveless and the lapels were also erased. It still kept the large bow covering the chest though. the gloves only went halfway up the forearm instead of to the elbow and had an arrow jutting off with 'Not sure what fabric to use for gloves' as well as 'maybe they should reach the elbow written above it. The knee high boots were replaced with three inch heels, the choker stayed yet was sketched with a note saying 'definitely silk' and a small golden heart shaped clasp to keep it in place, and instead of a circlet to tie everything together was a small silver gem lined tiara. |

Curiously Tsukasa glanced over the sketch, it was definitely an interesting outfit, seemed like the kind of outfit that was designed for a dance more than anything else. If she was honest, she would not truly wear it due to the fact it seemed far too flashy for her, and she felt as though she would gather far more attention than she'd want, or need for that matter. Even though that is how she felt, she had replied with, "For a ballroom dance maybe, the bow might be a bit much for my taste, but it's a pretty concept. What is this dress for might I ask?" She questioned towards her. |

"Yanno the funny thing? I wasn't sure I wanted to keep the bow on there myself, but I dunno it kinda completes the dress in a way so I can't get myself to erase it." She said as she blew another bubble before moving to the nearby trash can and depositing her gum in it. And when Tsukasa asked her what it was for Mana shrugged. "Currently? Its not really for anything. I was really just sketching up a sailor moon cosplay originally for a convention I was going to, but as I was drawing the uniform I kept going back to edit parts and well, it kinda turned into this, and I never ended up making it." Looking over the drawing once more she added "But, if it had to be for something I'd definitely say for some sort of high class snobby posh party like you see in those cheesy movies involving princesses from time to time." A slight chuckle escaped her lips before she pulled a red pen from her bag and placed a small 'X' in the corner and sighed. "Oh well, ain't like I'd wear it myself to tell the truth. I mean even looking at it now I can honestly say it'd be better suited for someone with a little more... You know." Mana trailed off as she motioned to her chest. "Either way, I've held you up long enough, didja wanna take a crack at the piano now?" |

"Cosplay huh?" She didn't quite think about it, but it makes sense that Americans would have an interest in it, though she knew it was not quite as prominent as it is in Japan, with what she was shown by family there, but it was quite interesting how the cosplay comes about here, the idea of modifying costumes was quite an interesting change of pace. When Mana had motioned to her chest, and though it wasn't as apparent, Tsukasa seemed somewhat flushed, looking away rather quickly and speaking a bit hastily saying "Alright, I can play something." As she walked over to the piano and sat down in the chair. She sat there for a few seconds, deciding which piece she could remember off of the top of her head, due to the simple fact that she didn't have a music sheet of her own at the time and did not feel comfortable playing the music Mana had with her at the time, "Ah, I know." She stated, hovering her fingers over the keys for a second, first playing it in her head once or twice to try and recall the rhythm, then she began to play. Certain points she had to pause for a second, to recall the right keys to play. A few keys were mildly off here and there , but none the less she mimicked the song quite efficiently for what she had to work with at the time. |

(So, good news bad news. Good news is I only need reading glasses, bad news Doc said I'll probably need glasses all the time in the next few years. I've pretty well effectively crippled my eyesight lol. Also sorry for the literal billion years of waiting.) "Mmm, yeah I wanted to give it a shot atleast once in my life. But then I found out about how much people tend to stop folk in costumes to talk or take photos, not to mention how cramped the convention halls can be with the crowds and I kinda lost track of everything and just went in my normal clothes." She shrugged when Tsukasa spoke. "I mean I had fun at the convention but I dunno, as fun as cosplay sounds I can't actually see myself dressing up." Grinning when Tsukasa mentioned that she could play something Mana leaned against the wall "Super, I can't wait to hear what you've got in mind. Knowing my luck it'll blow my music outta the water." It took Mana a few moments to realize where the song the other girl was playing came from, and when she clued in her eyes widened in surprise. She loved that movie when she was a kid, and it took more effort then she would like to admit to keep herself from stopping the girl to confirm what she felt she knew. Although when the song ended however, she clapped quietly and then spoke up "That was from spirited away right? Oh man I loved that movie, I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid." |
