London 0 Posted December 22, 2014 Author #21 Share Posted December 22, 2014 A couple more people begin to form an arch and begin to watch London. He surely is putting on quite the show. He holds onto his bow as he switches to pizzicato and begins to play his melodic solo once again. The crowd falls silent once more to listen. This time, London isn't so energetic as he leans in closer to his instrument to hear better and he begins to plucks his strings in almost a mesmerizing way. He continues this melody, sometimes losing himself to it, he continues to move his fingers in their hypnotic fluid motion, until at last, he begins to slow down as he plays the last of the melody slower and quieter, however each note seems to ping out and then finally he hits that last open D and lets it fizzle out in the crowd he was accumulating, starting from a few people to a medium sized one and now it seems a good amount of people are watching this man preform. He was to inveloped in his music to notice. Link to post Share on other sites
London 0 Posted December 22, 2014 Author #22 Share Posted December 22, 2014 London takes about half a moment of silence before anyone could really start clapping to tap the side front of his bass with his bow, his foot beginning to bounce again as he starts off on another song with a powerful up bow. He plays the piece a bit in a lower octave since the original is played on a violin and normally at his current level of bass playing he wouldn't be able to play this piece but with the help of the added game function, it makes playing his bass able to switch between what feels like a mini-game of sorts and actually playing, this time he switched to the mini-game format but regardless he played the piece as he would normally, it only meant that it was a little easier for him. As London continues to play the catchy tune he bows are fast and flowing and they extend outward as he dance, he's obviously having fun with the piece and is putting on a show. The ending of the piece is coming soon as he hits those final notes he digs in with his bow, making it as loud as he can and rips it away holding his bow and his arm outward and looks at the crowd. There is a moment of silence...then an outburst of applause from him! They seemed to have loved it! The old man is leaning on his cane, smiling up front. London smiles and takes a bow.

London 0 Posted December 24, 2014 Author #23 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Some of the audience comes to talk to London and he humors them by answering some of their questions but he makes sure the old man is still around and he excuses himself from the crowd to go speak to the old man. "Well?" London asked the old man, still smiling from his performance "How'd you think I did?" The old man answered his question "Look for yourself, you produced quite the crowd. You surly show a passion for your craft, I've seen many performers who have exceptional talent and potential but they never seem to show they love what they do on stage. You do show that. Go talk to your audience again, Come back to the shop when you're ready and I'll get you all settled with your instrument and bow and the like." The old man gave him a warm smile and London returned it saying "Thank you again." The old man nodded as he began to walk back to his store. Link to post Share on other sites
London 0 Posted December 24, 2014 Author #24 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Some time passes and the Old man is tiding up his shop, wiping his counters. A familiar jingle rings in the store. The old man smiles as he looks up, already knowing who was opening the door as he looked up to confirm his suspicions. He was right, the young performer had walked in the door carrying a snow covered contra bass. "Ah, you're back. Let's ring you up." The old man said as he swiped down his menu and pressed the trade button. London nodded as he saw the items added to the trade listings. » Wooden Contra Bass and Bow » 1 cake of rosin » 150 Col Side 1: Confirmed. Side 2: Confirmed. Accept Trade? London pressed the blue circle to accept the trade, the items flashed in a notification before him and the items were added to his inventory. "Thank you again." London said to the cheery old man. To this, all he said was "Don't mention it! I'm happy to help someone continue doing what they love. Just make some beautiful music and don't forget the little people like me!" He laughed after saying this. London nodded "Of course." he said, applying the rosin, using it to make it so the bow is actually useable and then makes the items dematerialize into his inventory and he gave the man a wave and walked outside the door saying "Good night." as the door jangle and shut behind him. It's time to make some music. Link to post Share on other sites
