Danny hadn't been her usual self lately, but who could blame her? She was still sorting through the Rikki problem on her own, and her thoughts were just getting more and more jumbled up when she thought about it. She was trying to do it all on her own too; she still hadn't told a soul about her ... well the fiasco.
At the moment, she was stalking off to her room, but something caught her eye. A piano. A big, shiny piano. She recalled seeing Edel playing it often, but every time Danny had just run past her. Dealing with Edel when she didn't have to? No thank you.
Now she was having second thoughts though. Rikki wouldn't think Edel stupid. Edel was everyone's dream ghoul it seemed. Pretty, smart, charming. Everything Danny wasn't, amassed in one spot known as Edel.
Well it couldn't be that hard, could it? Danny sat down at the sleek black instrument and played a few notes. Then a few more. Was she more esteemed now?
The alternative name for this rp is Steamy

Edel had just left her room to GUESS WHAT? Play the piano, but of course. It had been some time since the ghoul had touched the instrument even though she made the conscious effort to alternate between the violin and piano. Really... she was probably out of practice by now.
The trip to the demon dorm's common room was usually a quiet one but today, it seemed that someone had gotten there before her. The ghoul couldn't really tell which song was being played but it sounded pretty alright. Who could it be? she wondered. Roch had been talking about having another FMC audition so perhaps -
-Nevermind. Edel had found herself staring at the FMC vice president playing the piano in front of her. Well. She wasn't doing too bad a job considering she did play music after all. (And that's all the compliment she was going to get.) The frost demon stood there in silence for a while, merely observing. Other than the fact that Danny had threatened to bash her face in (or so implied, Edel really couldn't forget what happened to the wall), and was found in Moure's bed (which was just a misunderstanding) ... there really wasn't any reason to hate her now was there.
Who was she kidding. She still didn't really like her.
But the fact is that Danny was dating someone else already. And seemed to be acting a little more normal as of late. Maybe Rikki had done some good for her.
And because there was really nothing else to say, the frost demon simply started off with a very simple, innocent question. “So... how's it going between you and Rikki?”

She kept on playing like nothing had ever happened. She heard the footsteps, and completely ignore them. Danny's eyes squeezed shut and she resisted responding to the sudden drop in temperature. She wouldn't pay attention to the ghoul- she wouldn't even turn around to acknowledge her. Maybe if she pretended Edel didn't exist, she wouldn't.
With a single question, Edel halted Danny's playing in the drop of a hat. Her fingers sagged, and then sat there, motionless. Her heart would've stopped if FEAR wasn't pumping it for her.
A breath, and then Danny turned around and said, "Fine. Everything's fine. How's Moure?" Maybe she could just change the subject. Change it from one that was extremely painful, to only slightly stinging.

Edel couldn't help but notice the way Danny halted and drooped her fingers over the piano. Okay, fine, the flame demon just really didn't like her being around.
“Fine.” Other than the fact that your brother totally broke him. Huh. It almost seemed as though she had another score to settle with the flame demon. But Danny wasn't Oersted. Edel was somewhat thankful for that.
“I didn't know you played the piano,” she continued casually. “Then again nobody said you couldn't,” she replied to her own statement pre-emptively

Danny abruptly stood up from the piano when Edel complimented her. Where she had to go, or what she had to do was beyond anyone. She just felt the need to fight back, but there was no fight left in her.
"Everyone says I can't..." she drawled, but mostly to herself. It was a quiet whisper. Sighing, she sat back down put her elbow on a few keys to lean on, sending a ringing noise into the air.
She was already angry and upset, and Edel being there didn't make it any better. "Thanks," was all she offered up to the ghoul. No way she was returning the favor though. If Danny was one thing, it was stubborn.
Still, Danny would at least be ... courteous. "Did you want to play?" she said, gesturing at the piano.

The reaction she got for saying what she had just said was .... surprising. The frost demon couldn't quite hear whatever it was that Danny was muttering to herself but she didn't let it bother her, knowing that it might probably be an insult coming from the flame demon. The only clue she picked up which led her to believe that Danny was somehow upset was when she sighed and sat back down and hit the piano keys very unpleasantly. Normally, the flame demon would have fought back in some way or another.
“Thanks.”
Now Edel was really being taken aback. The offer to let her play the piano was a little unexpected but ... yeah, something was wrong with Danny. It could be that this was how Danny was to her friends (as Rikki had said), but the frost demon wasn't so prepared to believe that they were on such friendly terms yet. Or maybe she was being the problem here, Edel considered that about herself.
“No ... it's alright.” It would be awkward of her to take over the piano now wouldn't it? Edel was simply being courteous as well. She really didn't want to get an evidently upset Danny to move out of the way or something ... she looked pretty comfortable where she was and the frost demon just really didn't want to agitate her.
“Are you upset?” Edel had no idea why she just said that. She was terrible at small talk and small talk with Danny was just. Strange.

Danny looked at Edel with daggering eyes. It brought a whole new meaning to "if looks can kill." The look clearly said I don't want to talk about it, but her mouth did some good covering up.
"No, I'm fine." If you couldn't figure it out by now, that meant drop it.
The fire demoness, clearly fed up with the small talk went back to tinkering away on the piano. It was something sort of odd and hollow sounding. Danny couldn't play the piano at all- her fingers were clearly meant for the guitar- but she had learned everything by ear. It wasn't too hard to transfer over. It just sounded horrible.

Okay, okay, evidently not as Danny was so kind to make sure she understood. That was absolutely fine with her and she had no intention to make this any of her business. The frost demon took to looking around the common room and avoiding any further eye contact with Danny. Maybe she should head back now and come back again later? Although with how Danny was playing the piano... a part of her wished that she had taken her up on that offer a little while ago. But then again, no. She didn't want to start another fight with the flame demon and risk damaging those wonderful pianos. That would be such a pity.
“I -guess I'll leave then,” she said, seeing no point in hanging around Danny awkwardly. “Bye ...” Edel was already beginning to slink away back to her room.

Danny's face twisted into a smile, but then it dropped back down into a frown. She was happy that Edel was gone, but ... she also sort of ...
"Wait," Danny said abruptly. Did those words just come out of her mouth? Was that really her talking? She was telling Edel- of ALL people- to wait?!
Danny fingered the edges of the piano bench awkwardly and said, "Can you ... teach me how you do that thing with your hair?" She bit her lip awkwardly. She was referring to how Edel always seemed to be able to keep her hair in place perfectly without even trying. Seriously. Even Danny could admit that blue waterfall of hair was always perfect.

“Wait.”
Edel stopped mid-step, wondering why on Halloween would Danny stop her from excusing herself from her presence.
The thing the flame demon said was even more of a stunner.
What. Just. What.
The ghoul turned around to stare at Danny. Was this a trick question? I mean, what could she say? Her hair was just LIKE THAT.
“I ... don't use any hair products...” A thoughtful pause. “I think it's to do with my genetics.”
Oh, BURN.
((but no really, the secret is in the ice))
"... Your hair is fine as it is though... , but I suppose I could try?"

What in the world was she even doing. This was Edel. Edel. Her most hated enemy. The evilest person in Amityville. IT WAS EDEL.
And yet ...
She really wanted the advice. Danny was feeling incredibly insecure, and if she could get her hair to do the ... Edel thing, she sure as hell wanted to know how. Jack it pained her to do this.
Also, the genetics diss went entirely over her head, so it wasn't really a burn. Burns don't work unless the person actually feel pain. So take that Edel.
"Could you ... maybe teach me?" Danny asked awkwardly. Surely Edel would say no. Surely.

For a long time the ghoul just stared at her. STARED. Unmoving, unwavering. What was even-
Please picture this guys, the two of them, combing each other's hair, styling them. Like ghouls do with each other at sleepovers. This is just – no.
“You mean... this,” a finger pointed and twirled around at the side of her head, as if that was supposed to mean something, “this, uh, wavy effect?” Edel was positively stumped. The truth was that she had no idea how to, but seeing Danny, Danny, ask her like that ...
It was hard to disappoint.
“I ... think ... ” the ghoul slipped out her eyephone and did a quick search on bootube. Edel looked up at Danny and gestured for her to come over. Awkwardly. “This might help?”
