Welcome to Gaia! ::

Location: Office
With: Shifra, Arisu, Kaleo, and Talon

Taro narrowed his eyes at Kaleo "yes and just as many more idiots who think they can play an instrument will say the same. And the only reason ochestral composers are so well remembered is because they plastered their name over every song they created and lived in a time where their music was one of the central parts of society, a society that in turn was the most advanced and influential to the rest of the world. Could you even tell who composed what piece if their name wasn't in the title? no you couldn't, because not only did they not even perform the songs themselves, without a voice it is impossible to recognize who is performing. You don't need to remember an opera composer's name, because the music itself is what is important, they didn't want their name to be remembered, they wanted their songs to be. They didn't feel the need to put their name in the tittle of every song as if they where what was important. And because of that their music isn't just a nice song to listen to, they're part of our culture, they don't belong to any one person, they belong to the people" he said, it was like when someone heard mozart, one would think "oh that's a mozart song", however when someone heard "Frere Jacques" they thought "that is a french song" it wasn't just some person's music, it belonged to an entire country, an entire culture. "and Vocals where what came first you twit! or are you going to say that that man invented the saxaphone before they even evolved to develop voice boxes?" he counted, wondering why he would revel in just a blatantly false statement. "because the piece is BORING! yes its impressive to be able to play but that's all it is to you, a means of showing off how talented you are. A song isn't even music at that point, its just a tool for you to try and win an argument. Your not contributing anything, your not even trying to! You treat music as if it simply exists to serve you!" he shouted angrily, not having noticed the crowd that had amassed. When he asked what he had been trying to prove with his piece he glared again. "to prove that music can actually be fun and interesting, that you can do things that people wouldn't normally think to try. That you don't have to just stick with old conventions and the labels that are used to define what is good or bad" he explained, though knew it was pointless to. When Kaleo began playing his jazz song Taro was once again impressed. His mind and actions where easily clouded by bias and anger, but he never let it do so to his sense for music. "another great performance. If you only used your mouth for playing and not mouthing off we probably wouldn't even have to fight" he said putting his flute away, though he was far from finished. Standing back up and holding up his hand, Taro stared straight into Kaleo's eyes. "however I didn't know we were allowed to use our powers to enhance our playing, you should make that clear next time or I may get the impression you where trying to cheat" he said with a smirk, catching him red handed. Suddenly the skin on his palm began to rise up and a long piece of bone began to poke out. As it extended outward the bone took the form of a customized flute, which Taro snapped off and brought to his lips and began playing, the bone flute perfectly imitating the sound of a bamboo flute. However he had only gotten about half way through the song when suddenly he felt a hand grasp his shoulder. "huh?" he said, looking back at Shifra. For the first time since they had started he paused to take in their surroundings and went wide eyed when he realized just how many of his fans had filed in, mixtures of glee and hatred in their eyes for him and Kaleo respectively. "hmmmm....in hindsight this might not have been the best idea" he said, his face and tone comedically dead pan. Thinking fast he pointed his finger at the light fixture and shot out one of his digit bones out like a bullet at it, shooting out sparks and killing all light in the room. Taking advantage of this distraction Taro grabbed Shifra and Talon and made a break for it. "come on guys we gotta go!" he said as they fled. "you to. RUN!" he said to Kaleo as they passed him, knowing full well his fans might end up swarming him.

Location: Taro and Talon's room
With: Shifra, and Talon

Taro's eyes widened as Talon suddenly grabbed onto them and they where turned into water. The entire experience was surreal and hard to even comprehend, let alone describe. All Taro knew was that when they reformed in their room his head and stomach felt like they where both spinning in opposite directions, and not 5 seconds later he collapses onto his bed...well it was his bed now since he didn't think he'd be standing back up anytime soon. "wawazh! whatafluckin...greavoreee..." he mumbled incoherently, eyes rolling in their sockets. He shook his head a few times, trying shake himself back in focus. When Talon spoke up he rose his hand for a thumbs up. "thanks...appreciate it" he said, letting his hand fall back down on the bed. When he asked what a trap model was he let out a dazed laugh. "I'll tell you when your older Tally" he said, to discombobulated to go through all the hassle of revealing he was a guy right now.
