☆ XXєтєяηαℓ ℓιғєXX Keeping a calm expression as she sang, he could hear it there once again; that untapped potential the girl obviously had no idea she possessed. "Sorry for what exactly? You just have to practice a little and get enough air in your lungs to keep from losing your breath with the higher pitched area which then leads to a slight waver in the lower note that follows. Besides that, it sounded wonderful for a soprano like yourself. Try taking a quick breath when you know there's a brief pause between the words. Yué, would you please?" Eric responded with a gentle smile while motioning Yué back over. When the younger male padded back over, he tapped his ears then briefly pointed to his eyes then his lungs before inhaling with his hands raising palms up followed by an exhale with his hands lowering palms down.
"He means for you to listen while watching how his chest moves as he breathes. Should you not notice the expansion and retraction of his chest's motions, watch his hands as they'll signify when he inhales in the song," the elder male sighed lightly while biting back slapping his brother upside the head. He then motioned for the younger male to begin. This time as Yué went through the lyrics, his hands moved as if they were part of the air, raising as he inhaled even if it was a quick breath and lowering as the words came out fluidly. He then made a slight hand motion that seemed to tell the girl to try it now. "As you can see, Yué inhaled at the brief moment between the words 'again' and 'for' only to repeat that brief intake of air between the words 'find' and 'the' and once more before the word 'inside'. Without proper breathing, you lose your breath during the verses and waver enough to where your voice goes flat and lower than necessary. If you take in a quick breath, be absolutely sure you're inhaling through your nose so as not to give away that intake of air by making that gasping sound that comes with sharp intakes of air through the mouth. Care to try again with these tips?"

As he watched as she inhaled, he gave her his queue. His hand then went through the same motions it'd gone through before as if it were one with the air. In time he felt like she wouldn't really need his hand guiding how high or low she went with the pitches of her voice as upon hearing the music, she'd simply know. With practice, time and patience, or at least he hoped his intuition was correct on this one, she would know music as well as he did.

Ophelia IncendiaTheme song Don't give up, it's just the hurt that you hide And Eric was mostly right. Ophelia didn't really need his hand's help, but it gave her comfort to know that if she got lost in the song, he'd be able to guide her way. Her eyes closed as the music washed over her, and she sang with every fiber of her being. This time, it was much better. She had obviously taken his words to heart, and this time around, her voice was almost perfect. It was still very raw, and she still needed much more training, but now, it was blatantly obvious: Ophelia had real talent.
Finally finished, she opened her eyes again, smiling sweetly at him. "Wa-was that better?" she asked, every ounce of her body language begging for approval. When you're lost inside, I will be there to find you

☆ XXєтєяηαℓ ℓιғєXX "Could be better," Yué answered with a slightly bored expression only to flinch when Eric slapped him upside the head. This ended up starting a silent conversation between the two brothers. After a few minutes of silent glares at each other, Yué leaned against the piano while crossing his arms over his chest. "You should stop writing music with girls in it and just let the humans sing The Phantom of the Opera as they please. Girls are more trouble than they're worth, always changing their minds just 'cause one guy is a little more muscled or has dark hair and eyes. And the humans will never believe you're the literal Phantom of the Opera so they'd never listen to you telling them something sounds off. End of discussion."
"While the latter is true, I disagree with the first two statements. I write from the heart and if there's a female in it then so be it. And everyone changes their mind. Those who change it on appearances are just vapid and vain. Getting to know the finer details of a person is what your judgements should be based upon," the elder male hissed before sighing when his younger brother puffed up his cheeks like a child sulking. He then turned back to Ophelia with that sweet smile of his and nodded. "It sounded magnificent and it makes me happy that you listened and applied the advice given. Now we'll see how high of a pitch you can reach. As you seem to know my composition quite well, I'd like for you to try the last bit of the female vocals where the phantom is trying to get the girl to sing higher and higher notes. Just remember the breathing advice and give it your all. Afterwards, we'll take a break so you can get a drink of water and rest your vocal chords a little. Alright?"

Ophelia IncendiaTheme song Don't give up, it's just the hurt that you hide Nodding with her eyes wide with fear, Ophelia took several deep breaths, then looked to him. "I-I'm ready," she stammered, settling her hands on her stomach in an attempt to calm herself.
Once the music started, Ophelia soared high. Her voice managed to hit the notes, and even performed a sort of vibrato that made the tone sound somewhat richer. At the highest note, Ophelia stepped forward a bit, prepared, and let out the note. She was hitting it! In her excitement, fear quickly came over her, wavering her voice and causing her to fall. Ophelia gripped the side of Bathsheba, gasping for air and feeling ashamed for her failure. "I-I'm sorry. I p-p-panicked." When you're lost inside, I will be there to find you

☆ XXϮяαηscєηδιηg ϮιмєXX
☆ XXєтєяηαℓ ℓιғєXX It was there and it was beautiful. At least her voice was until she let fear slip into it making Eric's eye twitch slightly whereas Yué's sulk turned into a wince. Before the silvery haired boy could respond, Eric's hand vanished from where it was and resolidified over his brother's mouth. The only sign of what happened was the mist attached to the spot just before his wrist on his arm and the mist attached to his wrist. He was not letting any snide remarks come from him right now. He already had two strikes against him and once he got the third, well Eric would just deck him. He was tired of having to constantly hold onto both of his brothers' hands to keep them out of trouble and to keep track of them.
"That's alright, Ophelia. It happens during the first few practices and fortunately, you hit every note correctly. With practice, that fear of singing shan't be an issue... I mean shouldn't. Sorry for the old English slipping out. I haven't spoken like that in about three centuries," the elder male responded cooly while pretending his hand wasn't several feet away from the rest of his body. He then gave her a thumbs up and a nod as if saying he knew how high her voice could go now. Stepping closer to the piano again, his smile remained in place as he carefully closed up the cover of the piano keys and motioned for Ophelia to sit on the bench. "Might I offer you some water now? I promised you a break after all and you now know that I believe you have great potential in music. Whether you do anything with it or not is your decision."

Ophelia IncendiaTheme song Don't give up, it's just the hurt that you hide Sitting, Ophelia clasped her hands together and set them on her lap, staring at her hands. "A glass of water sounds nice," she said softly before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She couldn't believe she'd faltered like that, but he did say that she had great potential. Without his guidance, though, Ophelia knew she wouldn't go far. She looked up, she'd made her decision.
"I want...I want you to keep teaching me," she said, looking up at him. "That is...if you don't mind continuing to teach me. I want to great, I want...I want to learn." When you're lost inside, I will be there to find you

☆ XXєтєяηαℓ ℓιғєXX Seeming surprised at first, Eric eventually started to chuckle lightly as his hand returned to it's proper place. Loosening the cap to a bottle of water, he set it down beside the female only to sit down on the floor in front of her. "Firstly, I don't have a glass on me, but I do have water bottles on me," he started in a smooth, gentle tone as he tossed a water bottle over to his brother. He then opened a third bottle and took a swig from it, his gaze flicking briefly between the two. Setting the bottle back by his knee, his smile returned although his gaze flickered something that was difficult to describe. "Secondly, what made you believe that I was just going to leave you to your own devices after merely one lesson? While I said you have potential, you're still highly untrained and would only get so far without a guide teaching you how to sing beautiful music. On your own, you'd only go as far as those who use a mashed up beat of two different songs from other bands only to change the words and adding a little techno beat to it."
"Told you that you released the musical kraken. He's not leaving you to sing on your own until you make any and every female singer cry in despair at their own lack of talent compared to what he makes you. Heck, you'll have to be able to go solo acapella to make him happy. I've only met one guy capable of comparing to Eric's music in all my years. My brother's a musical genius and been writing music since he was six so don't take any of his irritation personal should your vocal training get tougher and you accidentally hit a note wrong for forgetting to breathe. He hit me with a shoe for forgetting some of the words to Oh Holy Night," Yué snickered from where he was sitting at the other piano sipping every once in a while on his water bottle. His words, however, got a sharp glare from Eric.

Ophelia IncendiaTheme song Don't give up, it's just the hurt that you hide She took a sip of the water, grateful for the feeling of the cold water running down her throat. Hearing Yué's words, she pursed her lips and huffed. "Oh, stop scaring me, you big meanie," she said, screwing the top back onto the bottle. She then turned back to the piano, drawing her fingers over the keys, just barely touching them. After getting used to the feel of it, Ophelia pushed her fingers down, and started to play.
Unlike her singing, Ophelia was obviously well-trained on the piano. Her tone was clear and precise, and the music in her head was easy to read. Fingers and wrists were perfectly arched, and her back was completely straight, her breasts once again pushed out with her shoulders back At the moment, the song she was playing, a piece aptly named Painful Memories, was echoing through her mind. The song sounded quite simple, but was much more complex at a second glance. Ophelia, having played it many times before, was on the brink of perfection.
Until she found herself overcome by fear of raising memories, and let her hand slip.
Ophelia merely sighed at her slip-up, choosing not to dwell on it. "Seems like my piano-playing needs a little work, too," she said absently, picking up her water and drinking again. When you're lost inside, I will be there to find you

XXXTorithÿn, Yué & Eric PhantomenXXX ☆ XXϮяαηscєηδιηg ϮιмєXX
☆ XXєтєяηαℓ ℓιғєXX "If it's scaring you that the musical kraken has been unleashed, that's your fault. I'm being honest about what your wanting to be musical has unleashed upon this defenseless planet through one man," Yué retorted sharply only to move over to the wall, removing his mask although his face was still hard to see past his hair and smacked his head against the wall. His eyes shifted then to the door as a reddish-auburn haired male wearing the hood of his hoodie up and a medical mask with red streaks across it came into the room. "The cannibal's back."
"Yué, he's not a cannibal. He's just sick," Eric argued irritably before smiling at Ophelia. "Ah, but it was your feelings that made your fingers do that, Miss Ophelia. I could hear it in every note and it was-"
"Dreadfully boring. You need something more catchy and less operatic or... Classical. Try something far faster in beat than that. An example?" Torithÿn interrupted before sliding a pair of drumsticks from his boot. Letting a swirl of mist take place of the middle of the room only to form into a drumset, the boy in the medical mask handed the drumsticks to Yué only to point Eric to the piano seat. At first the two older males raised an eyebrow, but then it seemed to click what Tori was doing when a guitar formed out of the mist that had created the drums. After Tori started playing a tune, the two elder siblings seemed to catch which song it was and winced in unison although Yué started up with him. "No one can see me and I've lost all feeling and I know I won't die alone. I'lL sToP yOu FrOm BrEaThInG aNd AlL yOuR dEcEiViNg AnD tHiS hOuSe Is NoT mY hOmE. No! More forgiveness. No! And the reason is, I know I won't die alone. I hAvE rEtUrNeD! And everyone dies. And everyone lies. They're waiting for the second coming again. Everyone tries to hold onto their life. When no one's alive BrInG mE 115! You stand for nothing and overlooked something. I'll bring you down all on my own. I'm ThE eNd, I cAn TaStE iT. I'lL jUsTiFy HaTrEd.

Look to the skies to see the end of all creation again. See with your eyes, my army of flies. When no one's alive BrInG mE 115! I've lost all form of unity. Where has my life gone? I'll bring you doom that you can see and bring you down to see you bleed. And everyone dies. And everyone lies. They're waiting for the second coming again. Everyone tries to hold onto their life. When no one's alive BrInG mE 115! And everything dies. Look to the skies to see the end of all creation again. See with your eyes, my army of flies. When no one's alive BrInG mE 115! And nobody cries when everyone dies and no one's alive. BrInG mE 115!"
Tori's words alternated between a smooth tone and a harsh growl and unlike Eric's style of singing with Ophelia, it had a faster tempo to try keeping up with. When finished, Tori gave a soft chuckle at how Eric was rubbing his neck. Eric couldn't get that scary growl of a voice much less switch so easily between a smooth tone and that growl. "Do that, lil' miss soprano, and I'll be impressed. It's called 115 by Elena Siegman if you don't know it. Thanks, girly man," Tori hummed cheerfully before sitting on to of Bathsheba like the piano was a chair. Eric gave a soft flicker of an apologetic smile before speaking.
"And these are my brothers, Yué and Tori. They're not all that easy to control, especially Tori."

"I'm afraid you'll have to give me time to find a song like that to match," she said, crossing her legs and looking up at the masked boy sitting on her "uncle's" beloved piano. "It's nice to meet you, Tori. I haven't heard enough about you, or either of your brothers, for that matter."
Ophelia then turned to gaze to Eric, the blue orbs appearing to smile at him. "You said outside that you could improve my piano playing. Before you do, would you mind playing something for me? I'd like very much to sample your "musical genius", as it's called." When you're lost inside, I will be there to find you

XXXTorithÿn, Yué & Eric PhantomenXXX ☆ XXϮяαηscєηδιηg ϮιмєXX
☆ XXєтєяηαℓ ℓιғєXX After sliding his mask back on seeing as he'd forgotten to before playing the drums for Tori, Yué smiled a little more darkly than he'd shown to Eric at the female. "That's a good thing. I'd hate to have to let Tori infect you," the silver haired male responded cooly as he flicked his hair out of his face. This time it was Tori who hit Yué although it was his boot he'd thrown at him. When the boot made contact with the side of his head, it would've reminded anyone of someone getting hit by a car seeing as Yué was snatched away from the drumset and rolled quite a ways away from the group.
"Don't be stupid, transy. I'd bite you before I'd ever bite her. Besides, she's more like a piece of dental floss if not a toothpick so I'd still be hungry if I tried eating eating her. You, however, look very plump. It'd be like eating a honey-glazed ham on Easter Sunday," Tori muttered in an amused tone before glancing at Ophelia. Dragging his hood down, he shook his head only to stretch his arms over his head and briefly glanced at Eric's scowl. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Eric's the musical genius and he gets a little obsessed about it. He's the most serious out of the three of us and can wield a variety of different weapons although he usually uses twin scimitars or a shortsword and a longsword.. Yué is the girly one, as you can so obviously tell, and he has a major older brother complex. He gets moody when Eric defends me or talks to someone so if he's acting like a grouch, that's why. He is also a master archer and has a knack for shortswords. As for me, I'm the guy who gets stuck in walls, has an extremely fast metabolism so I'm always hungry and just happens to be one of the weirdest if not meanest guys you'll ever meet. I wield large swords like claymores and broadswords, have a temper and lack of control over myself and just don't give a rat's arse what anyone else thinks of me. We're all scientists to a degree and that would be us, the Phantomen three."
"I hope to God you were restraining yourself when you threw your shoe at him..." "I was holding back. He'll become conscious again soon... I think... I can't make any promises." "Then go get your shoe... M-me? You want me to play something? It's been forever since I've laid my hands on a piano. I'm surprised my fingers played just what little of The Phantom of the Opera as they did..." Eric seemed to blush lightly after sending Tori to go fetch his shoe as he hadn't really expected her to ask him to play something. Seeing as she had, however, he seemed to think over which song to play.
As if he finally settled upon a song, he slid his fingers into position and began to play a random yet seemingly sad song. As his fingers moved over the keys, Tori just seemed to tap his fingers together although it was hard to read his expression. When necessary, however, he stopped tapping his fingers and made his guitar shift into a violin that he played oh so effortlessly. As the song came to an end, Eric simply moved his hands into his lap and flashed a quick smile.

Ophelia IncendiaTheme song Don't give up, it's just the hurt that you hide Ophelia sat beside Eric, gazing up at him through her thick black lashes. When the song ended, she smiled sweetly, hardly giving any attention to the boy with the violin. "That was beautiful," she said quietly, her hand reaching forward to settle on his upper arm. "But it was so sad."
After a thought, Ophelia took her hand from his arm, standing and bending at the waist beside him to lightly touch the keys. "And yet, strangely perfect," she whispered, playing a few notes from the song. Straightening once more, she gestured to the lesser piano to their side. "Do you know any duets, Eric?"
