A piece of the action

Vista City is a crazy town and Vista City never sleeps at night #dayoftheninja
05 Dec

[ What's this? Ivan's not writing in haiku on his Twitter? What could it mean? Taking a page out of Doctor's book, solving the puzzle will lead people to a new Flowers Over Bones single titled "Vista City" on their favorite music service. For a limited time, it's at a reduced price because "It's the Day of the Ninja." That's really the reason given, but the truth is... it's Ivan's birthday. This is his way of giving back to the fans. ]

[[ OOC: Original song and translation here. Headache prevented me from rewriting the whole song, but it's about surviving life in the city and liking it to being a ninja on various missions.

Vista City is a crazy town
And Vista City never sleeps at night

In this layered city underneath the stars
The masses all sleep and dream of going far
The suits hold their talks and deals in the bars
They pick and they choose
Who will win, who will lose

Step to the stage and worries abandon
Sing with your heart, don't even slow down
Sneak to the rooftops and to the other side
If you get caught, there's nowhere to hide
Don't go yet, we're going all night
Grab your sticks and bow and all right
Got my bachi right here and ready to write
Get in my way and there'll be a band fight ]]

[Oh, that's it. Time to go on an Ivan hunt!]

[Which is only a hunt because of how hard he can be to find sometimes.]

[ He's actually at the balcony, sitting and listening to the waves. Will she think to look outside? ]

[giglio_madonna]

[It actually takes her a few minutes, when she's sure she's double checked everything and not accidentally missing him. She even almost walks right by him ready to go back inside when she does go to the balcony, only to pause.]

Ivan?

[sponsorigami]

[ To make it even funnier, Ivan watches her from his chair as she walks by. ]

Hi °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

[ Ivan, you need to stop. ]

[giglio_madonna]

Very cute, Ivan.

[Forehead flick incoming.]

[sponsorigami]

[ The forehead flick gets him to set his phone down into his lap. ]

I was wondering how long it would take you.

[giglio_madonna]

I think that was actually quite a good time, considering things, thank you.

[Huffing out al augh, she sits next to him.]

You're quite sneaky.

[sponsorigami]

I'm not sneaky on purpose most of the time.

[ A few times, he has actually photobombed people's photos. That's when he's actually being sneaky.

Or putting origami cats into her instrument case. ]

[giglio_madonna]

But you certainly use it to your advantage, don't you?

[sponsorigami]

A few times only.

[ He's not some creeper, and he's in the music business. Being seen works more towards their advantage. ]

[giglio_madonna]

Of course.

[She chuckles and see if she can catch him with another nose flick.]

Just don't sneak out of practice.

[sponsorigami]

[ Caught! But then Ivan gets mildly alarmed. ]

I'd never do that! Music means a lot to me, and I love playing with everyone, even during practice!

[giglio_madonna]

I'm teasing, my dear. I know you better than that.

But you never know... [She starts to play up a pensive look.] You might start to date someone, and want to sneak away with them for all sorts of things.

[sponsorigami]

[ The thought requested cannot be found. Please check your connection, and try again. ]

...

Who would even want to date me?

[ The real him. Not the mysterious quiet ninja that the fans see. ]

[giglio_madonna]

...Dear.

There are plenty of people.

[Oh boy, time for the talk.]

[sponsorigami]

Um... besides crazy fans that my music image has been sold to...

[giglio_madonna]

People who like someone with a passion in life. People who get along with someone quiet instead of an introvert like myself. I could go on about all your positive traits that could make someone want to get to know you better.

[sponsorigami]

Getting to know me doesn't mean they want to date me.

[giglio_madonna]

But they might want to date you after getting to know you.

[sponsorigami]

Maybe... but I'm still not going to skip out on practice.

[giglio_madonna]

But I should still see about introducing you to some of the younger musicians I know...

[luce no]

[sponsorigami]

That's all right. You don't have to waste your time on me like that.

[giglio_madonna]

Of course I'm going to spend time on my precious son.

[Look at that little grin.]

[sponsorigami]

[ Moooooom... go shove Dad into an instrument case instead. ]

Then... maybe with something else?

[giglio_madonna]

For now. But just watch, I'll find someone cute for you.

[~Wink~. Is she serious? Who even knows.]
