thebastion | [Day 153] I understood the meaning of love... [OPEN]

Who: Rin and YOU!
Open: Open
When: 153, afternoon
Where: The Gazebo
What: The past few days have been difficult, but Rin is in a surprisingly good mood today. Apparently that's enough to warrant randomly singing??
Format: Starting in action, but I'll folow
Warnings: Rin being Rin is a given by now.

[The past few days had been a whirlwind of emotion. Some good, some bad, but all of it actually fairly exhausting. In it, though, Rin had gotten out some much needed things that had been bottling up for some time, and in a stark contrast to the anger that had nearly destroyed the kitchen, she found herself in a surprisingly good mood this day.

Like. Really good mood.

Good enough to apparently sing. Which she didn't do very often at all. Sometimes she could be caught humming a song while working, but actually singing something?

Well, she did used to be in the church choir growing up, so it wasn't that far fetched of an idea. But it had been years since then, and her voice was a little out of practice.

Still, something about that good mood compelled her to make her way over to the gazebo where the piano was. She couldn't play (Yuki could, but even she had fallen out of practice with that in recent years, too) but she knew enough to strike a note and start from there. She wasn't singing to anyone in particular, and the song that came out of here surprisingly wasn't a church hymn.]

Kuon no shijima yagate sora ni
aoku aoku tokete nijinde
mahiru no tsuki no usui kage wa
sugu ni sugu ni mirai wo yobu...

[It didn't quite sound the same without some accompaniment, but she still got rather in to it. Enough that she probably wouldn't notice if some one stopped to listen...]

No one can do everything. It's not a skillset meant for everyone.

I'unno if throwin' myself face first in to things is really a "skill set".

Well, you're still alive from it...

Well, yeah. Demons ain't built weak or anythin'.

Yeah, true. Some are just focused on things other than combat.

Really? Where I'm from most of 'em are pretty ready to jump in and tear some one's face off...

I guess it depends what you count as a demon. Do kitsune and tanuki count? What about oni? Are they even in the same category? Hell, we argue about labels all the time. Even 'supernatural creatures' is enough to get some of the more touchy ones going.

Technically. They were usually regarded as guardians where I'm from, though. Same with certain Oni. If they lost control though, we had to take care of 'em...

Really it depended on the demon, I think... I've met some that weren't nearly the assholes that bothered me every day.

Oni mostly end up working as security for the people in the Underground who actually have some kind of political office. ... Taro had a habit of jumping on their backs and treating it like a rodeo.

[She smiles a little bit at that. Taro... what an idiot.]

I think Oni were kinda guardians in a lot of Buddhist stuff. 'least that's what I remember from the things my boyfriend told me. So, makes sense.

Yeah, true. I mostly stay away from myths and stuff. Making a living just keeps me busy.

... And every so often I'll get the documents to do another round of high school or community college, just to keep myself up to date on things. And before you say "why would you do that", keep in mind that high school is a pretty good deal if you grew up without even really knowing how to write.

[She was about to ask that, too.]

... oh.

[Middle school drop out right here.]

It's not for everyone.

[It took her forever to get the hang of English enough to not sound like she just got off the boat.]

Sounds like somethin' my sister woulda done.

Yeah? What's she like?

Smart, serious, everythin' I'm not.

[She laughs a little, before putting a hand over her mouth.]

Sorry. But I hear that's pretty common with siblings. Older or younger?

Heh. Twins, actually. But I'm the older one.

Got it. How old are you, anyway?

[Probably not the most polite question, but whatever.]

I'll be sixteen soon.

[She actually counted the days]

How soon?

[She may be plotting...]

[But-- D: ]

... oh, I'unno. I haven't been keepin' track that closely!

[That nervous laugh means you're a damn liar, Rin.]

... Uh-huh. When should I start making the cake?

[Much as she's not really a 'friend' person... nonhumans have to stick together.]

[True. And Rin surprisingly gets that, but--]

... it wouldn't be the same without Yuki here.

[She's never had siblings herself, so it's not really something she gets, but...]

I don't think she'd want you to be sad, though.
