Persona - The True Self

Rikimaru was taken by surprise, a classmate that remembered him. The mask made him stand out a little more than he'd ever want but it was a nessary evil. Still it was... Nice, for lack of a better word. "It happens. Layla is any easy song to get carries away with." He was so calm about it you'd think he was talking about the weather. It wasn't all that uncommon for Rikimaru to play until his fingers bled. Playing, like fighting was almost an unhealthy addiction for him.

By the time he had finished speaking, more and more people started gather around. All either impressed by the music or the fact he could play through the pain and the blood. Either way, Rikimaru didn't want anything to do with this. Heaven forbid that idol agent would come over. They were hard to get rid of to say the least. Rikimaru did take solice in that girl though. Anyone would be a fool to go after him and not her.

Am,the girls name was name. She had shouted something at him before running off but he couldn't make it out. He almost wished that she had left her number. Their on stage chemistry was awesome. She could have been fun to play with but there was more pressing matters to deal with.

Rikimaru went back to Gen. He stuck out his bloodied hand for a hand shake Realizing it was the bloody hand that needed a little medical attention, he withdrew his hand and simply bowed. "Rikimaru Elsworth. Could I bother to show me where this pharmacy is? I need to take care of my hand before it gets any worse." Again his voice was calm, almost detached from the whole situation.

This is totally unrelated.

There was a smattering of applaus and few cheers. An inattentive crowd, what buzz kill. His fingers were still bleeding and no one seemed to notice. With all the genius and wilds that the fifteen year old could muster he would play a
another song and get off the stage.

He only passed the first chorus before it happened. The stage was rushed by an orange hair girl, running up in an overly cute and feminine sorta way. She whisperes into his softy. "Keep playing the same song and only sing the choruses. They'll love it." As quickly as she appeared, she was on his phone. Selecting a different version of the same, one that Rikimaru didn't know. While music was almost identical, the opening however, was vastly different.

From the second the music started to play the orange haired girl was bouncing up and down in complete and total rocker chick fashion. A great contrast to Rikimaru's standing strong energy. With each verse that the two sang. It was more like they were sing to each other than to a crowd of people.

Each movement instinctively played off the other. Her sass played off his played his pleading. They're contradictory ways only seemed to compliment each with each passing note. It was the first time they had ever seen each other, let alone preformed together. Yet no one crowd could or would have guessed that.

This was far from the best performance that two people could or would have put on. Truth be told both left a little something to be desired, however like a cheeseburger or a beef bowl, it was much greater than the sum of its parts.

When the song was over, the crowd cheered and roaring at exceeded expectations. These two kids, complete strangers to each other had slayed it. The orange haired girl went back to being as cute as she could. In a kind and thankful voice, she shouted out to the crowd. "I'm Ai, thank you so much for listening to our song!" She posed with a peace sign and shouted something that Rikimaru couldn't make out.

After watching her leave Rikimaru looked at his hands and fingers. They were bloodies pretty well. He also notice that his guitar was almost covered in it. It wasn't gonna hurt anything , fingers are pretty vascular but still he needed to get it taken care of. With that thought in his head Rikimaru put his stuff away grabbed his phone and bowed deeply in front of the crowd. He was greatful for being able to play but girl named Ai had already said enough for the both of them in his mind.

Is there still any openings?

I like the idea of it.

Persona - The True Self

And the fans that fap over her.

Seriously, she's a model. Someone's bound to be doing that. Like with Rise.

When the band was done playing Rikimaru knew he was gonna get up there and play. He had more talent than they did and he knew it... Or so he told himself.

He was just about to open his eyes when he heard a voice from behind him. He jumped at the unexpected surprise. As quickly as he was surprised, Rikimaru spun to face the speaker. It took him a few seconds to put everything together. He had been asked if he was gonna play.

The person that had was had the question was scratching the back of his head. He was about as non threatening as one could be.Rikimaru gave him a second measured look before speaking. "I will, thank you for asking. Please excuse me." Rikimaru gave a small bow before heading to the stage.

Nerve took hold of him as he walked up the steps of this stage. All he had to do was not fall and he would he fine. He was now scared shitless as he plugged in his cell phone to an amp that would play the backtrack.

"Just take a deep breath, you can do this." He said to himself quietly. Next he plugged in his guitar up. All that was left was to hit play and see what happened.



With one final deep breath Rikimaru hit play on his phone and when the moment was right, he played as hard and best he could. He closed his eyes and got lost in the music. Only falling deeper into his trance as he played on. It only took a moment before the worries faded away and was he was reminded of what he loved so much about playing.

Maybe it was nerves, maybe it was the brand new strings. He was only half way into the song when his fingers started to bleed. He wouldn't notice or care until was he done playing. When you love what your doing it, pain and inconvenience could be tossed by the way side.

As the song ended, Rikimaru finally felt the warm liquid running down his hand and guitar. He could only smile at the sight of it. For some this was a badge of honor, for others it was simply a myth. It was part of the first group.

As the song ended and last note rang, he simply wiped the blood on pants once and gave a small bow. He had one more song in his back pocket if the people felt the need for it.

<Snipped quote by Kissu>

What in Davy Jones’ locker did ye just bark at me, ye scurvy bilgerat? I’ll have ye know I be the meanest cutthroat on the seven seas, and I’ve led numerous raids on fishing villages, and raped over 300 wenches. I be trained in hit-and-run pillaging and be the deadliest with a pistol of all the captains on the high seas. Ye be nothing to me but another source o’ swag. I’ll have yer guts for garters and keel haul ye like never been done before, hear me true. You think ye can hide behind your newfangled computing device? Think twice on that, scallywag. As we parley I be contacting my secret network o’ pirates across the sea and yer port is being tracked right now so ye better prepare for the typhoon, weevil. The kind o’ monsoon that’ll wipe ye off the map. You’re sharkbait, fool. I can sail anywhere, in any waters, and can kill ye in o’er seven hundred ways, and that be just with me hook and fist. Not only do I be top o’ the line with a cutlass, but I have an entire pirate fleet at my beck and call and I’ll damned sure use it all to wipe yer arse off o’ the world, ye dog. If only ye had had the foresight to know what devilish wrath your jibe was about to incur, ye might have belayed the comment. But ye couldn’t, ye didn’t, and now ye’ll pay the ultimate toll, you buffoon. I’ll shit fury all over ye and ye’ll drown in the depths o’ it. You’re fish food now.

@SwordfishKnight

If you really want by the way, you're free to randomly take the stage at the idol performance after they're done.

@Sho Minazuki

I had a mind to do that.

Persona - The True Self

procrastination is just too strong for the mortal man.

@Kissu

I feel this.
