Welcome to Gaia! ::

School was over for the day and so was the stress. Any moment now Kiyoteru would be knocking on her door and soon the fun would begin. She had two fine glasses of wine on her countertop, some candles lit in her living room, and some classical jazz and some aromatic candles to help bring the aroma around her home. She smiled satisfactory and plopped down on her loveseat and began to read VOCALOID Monthly.

A knock on her door took her away from fantasies of real VOCALOIDS actually voicing humans instead of the opposite. She smiled at the thought of Kiyoteru's awaiting face and hoped for the best. Jumping off her loveseat she walked anxiously for the door, every step with a little heartfelt spring. She peered through the window and grinned. He was here. Opening the door and blushing a tad bit she looked at what was in Kiyoteru's arms; a bucket of chicken drumsticks. Regardless of the item not being her one of choice and technically not so lady-like she grabbed the bucket with glee and placed it on the end table that was near the door as she gave Kiyoteru a embrace. "I am so glad you came Kiyoteru!" The happiness in her voice was no secret but when she pulled away form her hug she grabbed the bucket of chicken and gestured for Kiyoteru to come in. "Please do make yourself at home Kiyo. I can call you Kiyo right?" She gestured again but towards the entire living room. "I have wine on the kitchen counter if you do feel the need to drink." With a short smile she bounded upstairs for her sheet music.

Ann was soon downstairs with a binder filled to the brim with various musical sheets. She smiled hastily before grabbing her glass of wine and shoving her binder under her armpit as she grabbed the bucket of chicken from the end table and headed for the living room smiling brightly again, today was just her day. "I'm back, with my musical sheets! I hope we can sing together and learn some new things!"

Plopping on the loveseat next to Kiyoteru she blushed too, it wasn't like she had male visitors every day except for her male students who came to practice. Ah, she wished Big Al came once in a while, it was quite rude too. He barely spoken to her in the course of the year starting and she suspected he was dating Sonika which angered her more. Despite her thoughts of ravenous killings she smiled to Kiyoteru and flipped open the binder and flipped through until she found a nice one where she smiled at the thought. "Alright Kiyo, this is a nice one. Have you heard of 'Still Alive'? A game that was not majorly distributed had this nice little tune with it and I hope you might be able to sing it. To test your English capabilities first." She ripped the page from the binder and handed it to Kiyoteru before grabbing the bucket of chicken and nibbling on the juiciest part she took a sip of wine.

Ann smiled and began to clap with the chicken in her mouth. "rphm...dah was butiful!" Taking the chicken form her mouth and placing it on the plate she brought she cleared her throat and stifled an embarrassed smile. "What I meant to say was...That was wonderful Kiyo! What a lovely voice, and how clearly I can hear the lyrics! It's Still Alive, not Stirr Arive, but it's cute. I really like your voice Kiyo."

Ann laughed and brought her hand to her lips and smiled. "Well, if you would like to know so badly. I have sung a few Japanese songs in my day, it just sounds a bit awkward for me being such Swedish origin. I've sung Magnet with Big Al. It was absolutely delicious even thought we both had no idea how to speak Japanese in the first place! Singing the romanji was tough, but it was beautiful in the end." She itched her cheek and grabbed her wine and sipped it, looking at the fireplace was yet to be lit. It was not the fireplace that caught her mind, it was a photo frame atop it with two smiling folks. That one day when she and Big Al went to the park and asked a random stranger for a photo. That was the only real copy that signified that she and Big Al were even close. She moaned happily.

Ann smiled shyly "I don't know about that Kiyo. I'm English and you're Japanese. Don't you think out accents will ring a bit too much awkwardness?" She shrugged her shoulders and took the sheet from Kiyoteru and studied it for a bit before handing it back to him. "We should try. I have a recording studio in my extra room if you'd like to record our voices."

Ann laughed sweetly before grabbing Kiyoteru's bicep and pulled him up from the couch and led him to her recording room, which was amazingly large for being a recording room for only few persons. "Well, go inside the recording room and I'll start the recording program and then I'll jump in, alright?"
