Rabbit 18 [Video]

[adolescenthope]

[A video comes on, showing the blank expression of a pink haired woman inspecting the camera closely; perhaps she was not even aware it was working right now? But after a moment she steps back, clearing her throat.]

"I do apologize if this is rather sudden; it took me quite a while to get this... strange device to work as I wished. Maybe if that kappa were here, she could have..." [She lets out a small sigh; this was so out of her element.] "Nevermind that; I have a different matter to bring up."

"A situation such as this has been difficult to process for me. I do not presume I am alone in the matter. Even that aside, I have noticed some passengers felt... stressed, when I arrived. I would have loved to alleviate such feelings, however at the time, I was preoccupied. But now..."

[The youkai spins around and makes a dramatic pose to the camera, rotating in another mask; she seemed to be getting excited.]

"It has been brought to my attention a new location on this train has appeared though; a stage of sorts! Such news has been especially exciting to me as I was a performer back home. I have put on a few different performances, but one in particular seemed to be the most popular. A comedy of sorts."

"I would like to raise spirits, my own included, by performing this at the earliest possible opportunity. I am unsure if such a thing would be popular here, but nevertheless, I wanted to extend an invitation out to all of you. If you could all let me know how interested you may be in it, I would greatly appreciate it."

[The youkai leans forward once more, to bow towards the camera.]

Comments

[ Tidus isn't deterred by the answer. He gives a chuckle, sets the crate down, and moves to sit beside it on the stage side, one knee bent up. ]

"No problem! Trying new things are part of the fun, and we get stuck on these train rides for a long time - you might think about fun ways to use them in your plays. If you want to."

[ Since, you know, that's the more important part. He waves a hand towards the way he came. ]

"Quatre might have a few ideas too. He's the music guy." [ Then, he points a thumb to Romeo and himself. ] "But if you need us, we're free!"

Yes there's lots of time! [That was for sure.]

And I know some of these instruments so I can teach you too!

[Kokoro spent another moment sorting through the contents of the box, pulling out miscellaneous instruments and holding them up briefly for closer inspection. She could guess how some of them might work; pulling out a traingle and giving it a gentle ring before placing it back; but for how to properly bring out the full potential of their sound... she wasn't sure. And that wasn't her job. But from what she was being told, there were people here who could figure that out.]

[She turns to the two with a newfound determination.]

"I have been trying to problem solve how to approach hosting this one step at a time. The biggest obstacle for me at first was a place to host this; but of course we have this place now." [She says, gesturing to the space around her.] "Next in line was spreading the word. I have made an attempt at this, however I am unsure if it reached as many people as I would have liked. A way to assist me would simply be telling whoever you can about this."

[Its then that she diverts her attention back towards the stage, tilting her head to the side somewhat as she thought about what was next.]

"Music is also important, I believe. Although I am not the one in charge of such matters, so direction for such a task feels very difficult for me. And of course there is the performance itself."

[Normally, she'd feel extraordinarily confident in putting on this show; she's already done it countless times after all. But with so many of her masks gone, she felt as if her range of expression was severely limited.]

"...Normally, I perform alone. But I am unsure if that will be possible this time."
