(OOC: Erm, I'll get to posting with Nai… soon…. Actually, whenever I can find time…. By the way, where can I find Bellona's information? She doesn't seem to be in the codex anymore and your profile doesn't having anything about her even though she's your summon.)
Sora, who had been on Arete's head, had a clear view of the music and being Feather's summon, he knew the basics of reading music. {Don't worry,} he relayed just before focusing on the newcomer to use Read, {it's not that complicated. Kind of hard to be complicated when it's thought of on the fly,} and then he became absorbed with his skill.
While Sora did the job that Tsubasa was technically supposed to do, the girl politely took the piece of paper thrust at her and read through what was written. It was as her guardian as said, the music could easily be sightread. The only problem was, was it in the right key? After hearing Arete say that he would play after she had started, however, Feather decided to just play what was written. She assumed that the musician, who she had no knowledge of being famous despite his claims, probably was skilled enough to adjust to whatever key she was playing in. Taking out her harmonica, the wind instrument she always takes out first, the girl began to play the notes written on the paper, using one hand to hold out the paper in front of her so she could read it and using the other to maneuver her instrument. She phrased the notes as best as she could on her first try, taking advantage of the lack of any dynamics marked on the music to play the notes as she wanted.

Arete Muse ((Sorry about that kage. I didn't realise I hadn't added Bellona to my profile. You can find her information in Fenrir's custom thread.))
Arete slapped the different parts of the desk like a drum to set the beat, and then when it was his cue he came in with a powerful guitar. Using the alarm skill, Arete was also able to mimic the sounds of other instruments so that together with Tsubasa he had his own little band going. He tapped his foot agains the floor as he played and then when it came time he sang the lyrics to the song. It sounded like any fast-paced folk song, and others may have wondered what the purpose of playing the song even was. But the beauty of music is that it didn't need to have a purpose. It was just a means of expressing yourself. And for now, Arete wanted to express how happy he was when with Kora, Tsubasa, and yes even Sora who absolutely refused to stop nibbling on his signature headwear.
" Her breath began to speak As she stood right in front of me The colour of her eyes Were the colour of insanity Crushed beneath her wave Like a ship, I could not reach her shore We're all just dancers on the Devil's Dance Floor
Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
Pressed against her face I could feel her insecurity Her mother'd been a drunk And her father was obscurity But nothin' ever came From a life that was a simple one So pull yourself together girl And have a little fun
Well she took me by the hand I could see she was a fiery one Her legs ran all the way Up to heaven and past Avalon Tell me somethin' girl, what it is you have in store She said come with me now On the Devil's Dance Floor
Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor "

(OOC: Thank you whee . *goes to look at the information* You set me up against an S-rank summon gonk ?! And you called up a B-rank to boot?! Guh, Nai's never going to pass this exam emo .)
As Arete began to play his part, Sora began to do bounce around in time to the music. First, he started on Arete's head, then bounced to his left shoulder, then back to the head, then to the right shoulder, then back to the head, and repeat. Just as Sora jumped in time to the music, so did Feather tap out the beat with her foot as her head remained still to keep from playing out of tune on her harmonica. The sound of the acoustic guitar (OOC: I'm assuming that Arete doesn't have an electric guitar) and harmonica blended in perfectly with the feel of the folk song. Tsubasa's precise ear could tell that Arete definitely knew what he was doing. He phrased the music and through that expressed what he thought of the song. Allowing him to take the lead position, Tsubasa backed off, playing slightly softer than he was, and followed how he played the music instead of going off on her own ideas.

Arete Muse (( sweatdrop ))
Arete broke off into a instrumental for the next part of the song and swayed his hips to the music as he nailed his notes. Then he started singing his lyrics again.
"The apple now is sweet Oh much sweeter than it ought to be Another little bite I don't think there is much hope for me The sweat beneath her brow Travels all the way An' headin' south This bleedin' heart's cryin' Cause there's no way out
Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor "
Arete strummed the melody on his guitar a few more times and let the song die out. When it was finished he glanced over at Tsubasa and smiled happily at her. "Thanks for that kid. You've got some talent in you yet."

I have helped the needy, give smiles to my students, and blessed the people...... ..... tell me what good deeds you've done in your life.   Kora Summer< Theme song>< Battle theme> Strength: 2 Speed: 4 Energy pool: 1620 ((Woops xp ))
Kora turn over to Eliz. "Yes, I do apologize... For you, you did in fact help them and is a team effort, so you do gain up one rank to Expert." Kora hold up her holy staff agents her shoulder. "Before all of you wanting to go off and take a rest from your hard work..... Do all of you want to come along for a birthday party that I'm giving out to one of our fighter?" She asked. She can't wait to head over to Mayko and give him a cake.
She than turn over to Arete and Kage that fished off their song. "That was a wonderful song you two! Would you like to come along for the birthday party too? You could come only for a little visit if you like." She said.

Arete Muse
Kora had barely finished her sentence before Arete zipped over to her side. "With such a confident confession I can hardly refuse. Of course I'll be your date to the party, Miss Summers." the man romantically said as he smoothly wrapped his arm around Kora's shoulders.

Kora Summer< Theme song>< Battle theme> Strength: 2 Speed: 4 Energy pool: 1620 Kora was caught surprised from Arete half-hug around her shoulder. "D-Date?" She said to herself, a bit confused, she could feel her cheek heating up a bit. Getting a boyfriend is never her plan to get, she's still a bit shy about these stuff. "U-Uh, I didn't say anything about being my date. You must of miss heard." Kora said to him. As awkward this may be, Kora actually kinda like Arete have his arm around his shoulder.

"Thank you," Feather responded cheerily to Arete's compliment after the song was finished. Pocketing both her harmonica and sheet of music, the girl heard Kora's suggestion. "Oh! A birthday party?" the small girl asked excitedly, clearly intrigued at the celebration, "Can I? Can I really?". The blue-haired bard was hopping up-and-down and side-to-side with excitement. She knew that it might be rude to go to someone's birthday party without even knowing who they were, but it was a party. How could Tsubasa not want to go? She was just like any other little kid. Talking about being like any other little kid, she was also completely oblivious to the awkward situation that Arete put the queen in and continued to jump around as if nothing had happened. was Sora's only thought as he continued to nibble on Arete's hat, keeping an ear out for any useful information.
(OOC: Erm, about how many bullets are there in a revolver and semi-automatic?)

Arete Muse
"Now now, you don't have to be shy about it." Arete encouraged, continuing to play out his delusions. "I know you tend to try and hide how you feel sometimes, but thats why I like you. You have such an innocent and pure heart. And thats why I know that that invitation was really directed solely at me because you wanted me to go to this party with you." he smiled sweetly and held her closer. She was warmer than he first thought. Now he was the one who was starting to blush, but he tried not to let it show. "I hear you loud and clear Miss Summers. S-So don't fret, I will most certainly accompany you to this party!"

I have helped the needy, give smiles to my students, and blessed the people...... ..... tell me what good deeds you've done in your life.  Kora Summer< Theme song>< Battle theme> Strength: 2 Speed: 4 Energy pool: 1620 Kora couldn't help it but blush now. Hearing him know about her really moved her, but that's only because he read her memory before. She have one of her hand reach over to Arete's palm, since her other hand is holding her holy staff. Feeling his close heat from him, she unwrapped herself from Arete's arm, no longer that close anymore as she moved a bit away. "T-That's very generous, A-Arete. B-But I'm not looking for that kind of relationship... I-I'm not ready yet." She said as she look with her golden eyes. The way Arete done to her just now, reminded of her late husband, Silver. They had such good times and funny tricks that Silver would do on her... such painful memory to think back. As nervous she is, she kept-ed her gracefully smile at Arete as she spook once again. "But I would very much like to have you accompany me there." She kindly said.
Kora look over to Kage that seam to jumping around. "Yes, you can come. That just what I said." Kora thought it was a question she was giving.

Arete Muse
"I'll take it." Arete cheered to himself and reluctantly broke contact with Kora. If he had stayed he was sure to be captured by the Queen's mesmerizing eyes. "Now if both of you pretty ladies will excuse me, I have a party to prepare for." Without hovering around he then turned on his heel and walked away from the Academy, whistling a happy tune to himself as his guitar glinted in the sunlight.

"Yay!" Feather (OOC: or apparently Kage xd ) finished her jumping at Kora's reply with a spin-jump. Messing up the landing, the girl slipped and hit her butt hard on the ground, "Oof! I'm alright!" only to rebound back up quickly. "So where's the party going to be?" the girl asked once she was back up.
Sora left with Arete, still nibbling on Arete's bandanna.
-Exit Sora only-
(OOC: Thank you Fenrir whee .)

Kora Summer< Theme song>< Battle theme> Strength: 2 Speed: 4 Energy pool: 1620 "I'm gonna have the party ready it in the Classroom. If I'm right, the birthday boy is still there, helping out the student that I've scented to him." Kora answered to her. Kora already gotten all things plan out for the party with her servants already mad the things at the palace. When Arete said that he'll prepare for the paper, she really didn't anything to point out that she got things plan out. She's wondering what kind of way he's thinking to do.
