London 0 Posted December 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2014 London looked about Urbus, he was sitting down on the edge of the base of a statue. The statue was of darken copper, obviously aged. It was of the stereotypical kind of warrior on a horse statue, made of what seems to be oxidized brass or copper. The base was only a step heights. One for the general foundation, which London was sitting on, and a more raised elevated second piece where the statue stood. He rested his head on his palm and glanced downward. He was thinking about a few things, some rather bleak in nature but this is how London often thought, never one to really look on the brighter side of things. London sighed and dropped his hand and looked at the passing players and npcs. He didn't expect to see anyone he knew, he was beginning to stay more often in Urbus, it still retained it's busyness but had a better feel to him than the starting city, perhaps a bit more grey was the reason. London preferred darker colors, it was easier on the eyes for him. He was debating on whether or not he should start playing for these people. He decided against it for the moment. Until he could get a bass guitar, even an acoustic, he wasn't going to be playing any music he generally like on his Contra. The strings were too thick and it's action was too far off of the finger board to actually be played the way he wanted. It would suffice for Jazz music of course but he preferred his hard rock if he could. Link to post Share on other sites
Arekkusu Sepera 0 Posted December 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Arekkusu stayed in the center of town, dancing and playing. He has grown a lot in Violin playing, now he actually dances to his songs while playing them, just as long as nothing throws him off his focus, he is all good with this. The crowd once again clapped to the beat of the Violin, which motivated him to go on and play even faster and even more. The crowd fed him, he fed the crowd, and everyone was happy in the end. The insanity soon was leaving him, and now his life is changed forever because of the one thing he loved the most, music. He kept on playing, almost done with his little concert.

London 0 Posted December 29, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted December 29, 2014 London heard the rhythmic violin and perked his head up. Music? London a evil smirk slowly crept through his face, it wasn't bad intentioned or foreboding whenever he did this like he actually was about to do something sinister but the worse to come this was a bit of mischief and London wasn't impish so this was just the smile he produced when he liked something. He walked towards the backside of the crowd and cycled through his inventory and quickly took out his Contra bass and bow. He waited a for Arekkusu to finish, or at least pause, and then London slapped the body of the bass with his bow making a loud tap sound, it sounded musical and fitted in right with what Arekkusu was playing, he began on his own solo. It kept in line with Arekkusu's sound to not throw off the whole feel of his little concert. London was musically adept enough to know this, he's been listening to music his whole life and playing steadily for a good part of it, he wasn't any Flea or Cliff Burton but he was still good, and his playing was rhythmic as well, a bit heavier in sound but still almost festive and fun despite it sounding more punkish in overall tone. It gave the feeling of wanting to dance. Occasionally switching between Arco and Pizzicato. He danced as he played, putting his heart and soul into playing as usual. He always had "feel" when he played, as he called it. He loved playing music just as much as Arekkusu if not more. That's a debate that could be settled later, although it really doesn't matter. They both shared a love for their music. Npc's were grinning as they turned their heads towards London. He wasn't trying to steal Arekkusu's audience so he went into a call and response kind of solo.

Arekkusu Sepera 0 Posted December 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Arekkusu then noticed that there was someone familiar playing right behind him, creating a giant cir le among the crowds, one playing a Violin half, one playing a Bass half. Normally he would be real annoyed and stop playing, but he motivated himself to continue playing. London may get away with this once and ONLY once, next time, Arekkusu won't just continue playing. But in the spirit of the holidays and his birthday, he continued to play as well. Ignite flew past Arekkusus bow during the last few measure of the piece he was playing, an intense piece known as Circles, by Kdrew, which was actually played on a piano, and not even, but Arekkusu modified it to his liking for a Violin. Arekkusus bow then put itself on fire, ready to end this concert-performance with an ending so devastating. The sparks flew as Arekkusu played, the strings on fire as well, the switching lanes, Arekkusu had to be careful to not burn his fingers. He only had a few seconds to do this. The E String was then hit, Arekkusu sliding his finger towards him so the pitch would become much higher, a dubstep drop like sound. Finally, Arekkusu dropped the sound with the Melody played once more before he threw his Violin and bow into the air and returned it back into his inventory, causing it to leave with a few traces of fire out of it.

London 0 Posted December 30, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Quite the finale, he's going to burn through his strings if he keeps doing that though... London thought as he did an upbow to compliment Arekkusu's finisher. Launching the bow upward snd slowly letting it come back down as he put his bow and bass back into his inventory. The crowd roared. London and Arekkusu seemed to have definetely made a show out of this, a rather good one. London put a hand on his hip and looked at Arekkusu. He could wait while Arekkusu talked to the crowd, he was the main preformance afterall, all London did was add his own little solo in their and complimented Arekkusu's piece. He had a smirk on his face, a friendly one, not meaning to look smug. Link to post Share on other sites
