Jericho looked from his seat, and heard Ms. Zexion comment about his song. He broke out in a smile, and lightly nodded a thank you. He hadn't noticed Imi until she started to play the piano. It took him by surprise at first, but he soon relaxed, smiling at her talent. When she was done, he applauded lightly, and got up from his seat. He walked next to the piano, and gave her a warm smile. " Yous sure does have a talent for this here piano", He said as he picked up a Les Paul electric guitar, and a small amp. He trotted back to the rusty stool, and set the amp down to his left side, and plugged the guitar in. He eased himself onto the stool, with his left foot on the second rung, and right foot on the floor, slightly off to the side. He cleared his throat, and looked at the two with a content look. " I's gonna treat y'all to my's fav-o-rite song. Although this song does make me a bit emotional.", he said in a more serious tone as he popped his neck. He then started to play "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
He started the song of by plucking the Les Paul, the amp making the notes echo through the large room. Even before he started to sing, he could feel the sadness welling up inside of him. He bit his bottom lip slightly to stop himself from crying, and then he started to sing. His southern accent died down a bit to this song, making him sound a bit more intelligent.
"....Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"
"Oh, take your time don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a woman you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above"
He continued to sing with a powerful voice, small tears welling up in his dark hazel eyes. He closed his eyes, causing them to roll slowly down his toned cheeks. He continued , more tears finding their way in his eyes.
"And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?"
"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied"
By this point in the song, Tears were continually rolling down his face, his eyes starting to turn red. The drops found their way onto the guitar, rolling down the slick surface, and onto the hard floor. His strong voice didn't crack once, as the music filled him with pride, even though his soul was filled with sorrow.
"And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? Oh yes, I will!"
After this line in the song, he paused from singing, and took a long guitar solo. He strummed the guitar with such energy, it made him feel like he was reborn. He gradually went from sitting to standing, still playing the guitar with power. He had never felt so alive, it was like music was the other half of him. More Tears fell from his eyes, and onto the stone floor, forming little puddles. Some found their way onto his hands, but his fast moving fingers seemed to be numb with the music, so he didn't seem to notice. The notes were loud and powerful, filling the room and finding their way out the open door. His soul was aching by this point, but his solemn expression never seemed to falter once. After a minute or so, he started back up with singing, his body filling pumped up and ready.
"Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied"
"And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?"
"Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man..."
After the song slowly died, he returned to his rusty seat, his solemn expression still plastered on his face. He stared out the ground, his tears making small 'plish' nosies as they continued to fall. His breathing was slow and deep, as he held the guitar loosely in his massive hands. It was like he was entranced, not even breaking his thoughts to blink.

Jericho still kept his old gaze on the ground, not paying any attention to Zexion. " Mama....always used to tell me's things similar to this song...", he said with a deep, shaky voice. He wiped his red, wet eyes, and gave her a look of 'thanks'. " Mama....Mama's dead now, but I reckin' her words stills live on in me..", he said with an even shakier voice. More Tears rolled down his cheeks when he metioned, which he didn't bother to wipe. He let out an uneasy sigh, and stared back at the ground with a steely gaze.

(( Your voice...is..uh...oh, how should I put this...Unique!))
Jericho looked up slightly, and saw it was Imi. He gave a tiny smile, and nodded a 'thank you'. He then heard her start to play and sing on the keyboard, and cracked a small smile. " Hmm...I reckin' that was a good song..", he said, his sadness finally starting to die down. He finally sat up straight again, and wiped the tears from his eyes.

Jericho looked at her with a cocked eyebrow. He had just nw released she had cat-like features, and was slightly amazed by this. " Are you's one of dem hy-brids?", he asked with a puzzled tone as he put down the guitar, which rested on his rusty stool.

Jericho was slightly unsure about the response she just threw at him. Half cat, Half Vampire....something seemed weird about that. He simply gave a small shrug, and looked back at her with a warm smile. " So...eh...urm....", he really didn't know what he was going to say. It seemed he didn't have the right words to start a conversation. He just gave her a nervous smile, and glanced around the room, just to pass the time.

Jericho looked at her with a smirk, and gave a small chuckle. " I reckin' cats got my tongue!", he said with a good laugh as he leaned back on his stool. Suddenly, the stool tipped back as well, causing it to fall. He landed on his back, and loud Smack echoing in the room as the guitar that was leaned against the stool fell square on his board chest. At first he just lay there, silent, but then he burst out in a deep, hardy laugh. He didn't know why, but that actually felt pretty good. (( srry, had to at some dinner))

Imi paused as her lower right eyelid twitched at the corny joke...she quickly reached out her hand."You alright,dude?"

Jericho firmly gripped her hand, and used most of his own power to get up, since he didn't want to pull her down because of the massive size difference. He let out a small chuckle as he ubbed the back of his head with his right hand. " Sorry abouts that, I reckin' I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed, but I gots the most horsepower!", he said with another laugh. (( I have to go watch a movie with friends, be back in an hour or so..XP))
