Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh but of course everyone." she said and smiled.

She gracefuly stood and walked to the center of the room picking up her shamisen on the way. She would play the one song she knew on it. The one her mother had taught her. She had been spending some time translating the French song into Japanese.

She looked down at it the to her friends. She began to sing. she went to an alto tone through most of it, playing the shamisen accordingly. Then she moved to Saprano at the end. The song was about a mysterious who set out for her love.

She finished the song and placed the shamisen down and bowed.

"Beautiful, Ariku-chan," Tora said with a dreamy sigh. "My little sisters are doing so well!" she smiled. One had just become a geisha and the other two were on their way.

Hara smile wide "That was wonderful... you have a great gift Ariku-chan"... Maybe we can get together sometime and entertain" she stated with a smile. post 49(( Me too. see... you guys later tonight))

"Beautiful..." Shagatsu said with a smile. "The dance was lovely too." With a laugh he turned to Tora. "I could do better than that..." He said jokingly, poking fun at his own horrible dancing. "Are you all ready for your performance?" He asked with a laugh.

"If you insist...." He said with a laugh. He got up and began to take off his shirt. "Forgive me, this is all I will need to remove." he said with a smile. He took a small piece of clothe from his pocket and held it in his left hand. He smiled and looked down at the cloth, moving his hands around it. Once his right hand reached the bottom, he snapped his fingers, lighting a small tip of it on fire. He made flicking motions with his left hand, which made the fire spread upon the cloth. With his right hand, he put his hand into the flame, seemingly raking it up his arm. The fire followed his hand up his forearm as he did the same with his right arm. Once both flames reached his elbow, he made a scooping motion, scooping the fire up off of his arm. Once in his hand, it disapeared. He put out his arms, and then held his hand under the cloth. The fire seemed to drip off of the cloth as if water, slowly flowing into his hand to disapear. He held up the cloth, which was totally dry, and showed his arms, which were totally unharmed. He gave a smile and picked up the glass Hara had in front of her. He brushed his fingers along the side slowly, the fire filling the glass walls red and orange. They seemed to still flicker even inside of the thin glass walls. He placed it back down in front of Hara with a smile, and put his shirt back on.

Shagatsu sighed and sat down again, elated from performing. He leaned back and examined his fingers, making small flames appear from them by rubbing them together.

"A jester can't tell all of his secrets... then they wouldnt be secrets anymore, now would they..?" He said with a laugh and a smile. "But I'll tell you one. There is a small powder on my fingers that lets me create small sparks when I rub them together, see?" He said, showing her how he snapped his fingers a few times, a flame growing larger from his fingers everytime he snapped them.
