Raindrops [open]

Long fingers danced across the keys, filling the room with a melancholic sweetness. There was a crispness to the studio like somebody had let a draft in. The music drifted through the empty halls, but if anybody came looking for the source of the sound, they probably would've looked right over her. That was her gift, after all. She was like the ghost on the piano that you only saw in cliched horror movies, the ghost in the corner of your eye.

Evelyn thought she was starting to make peace with that.

Rain lashed against the windows, drumming against the glass and coming down in silver sheets, blurring the world outside like you were looking through a veil of tears. Her love-filled summer was fading into autumn. Before long the leaves would turn from green to gold, the skies would turn from blue to gray, and he'd be gone.

She was starting to think she was coming to peace with that too.

That was life. It was stupid to think anything that perfect would've lasted forever. But it still felt like somebody had tore her heart out of her chest and socked her in the gut.

Her pacing was wrong, the rhythm was wrong, the tempo was wrong, she kept hitting all the wrong notes. She'd never been good at this. Her hands were beginning to shake.

Hot tears spilled over her cheeks and Evelyn White slammed hard on the keys, burying her face in the crook of her arm.

OOC: If anyone's curious, she's playing Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 by Chopin.

D'angelo was out an about, doing his daily jog around the academy. It wasn't long before the clouds had turned gray and it started sprinkling. Damn it. He thought to himself. The rain getting heavier by the second. He looked around for somewhere that would keep him dry and it happened to be the studio. He quickly teleported to the front door and stood underneath it. He was just thinking about quickly teleporting to his dorm when he heard a familiar sound from inside the building. He opened the door quietly and slowly treaded inside. Following the soothing sound of his favorite piano piece. Not many knew that he was able to play the piano. He was perfectly fine with that. He always thought it made him look weak. He looked over to where the melody had rang out. It was odd because there was a girl there. Or so it seemed like it. It was as if his brain couldn't process her being there, but he knew she was there. Worse case scenario the school was haunted, but that seemed unlikely to him. He watched as she began to miss some of the notes and go of beat. The unpleasant sound finally stopped as she slammed hard on the keys, making a grand sound as it rung out until it stopped. He couldn't stare at her for too long, but it sounded like she was sad. The sniffing made it more clearer to him that that was the case.

He walked over to the piano and sat down on the bench beside her. Without even acknowledging her, he began to play from the very beginning of the piece. He only used his right hand for the beginning mainly because the girl had been slouched over the keys where his left would play. B flat, G flat, F, G flat, and so on. He tapped his foot to keep time. He closed his eyes and let the soothing music play on. Nocturne op.9 No.2, there wasn't a better melody in the world than that one. He glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye, still playing the piece. "You know the first time I heard this, I was captivated by it. It was the most soothing sound in the world to me. Hell, it still is...So tell me. What has you so down? Music can be emotional at times I suppose."

OOC: sorry, I couldn't resist passing up such a sweet piece. Good choice by the way.

occ; sleepys my favorite dwarf so why not RP with him 8D

Ahhhh... Homework. It was so dreadful! It was summer and she had so much homework too do what was with this school in the first place couldn't she ever get away from all of this work that never made sense...! One place Aspen had always came too for working on her homework was the studios. She preferred it over the library it was sort of quiet since no one was ever really around and it was more interesting then books.. She really did hate reading. Besides that point the studio seemed more bright and welcoming where everyone in the library was too focused too even say anything also a reason why she avoided the spot. She carried a small bag along with her as she skipped through the hallways she wasnt able too hear the music until now hopefully she wouldnt be bothering the other person would she? She slowly approached the studios where she was able too hear the music loudly and smoothly! It was a nice song some people sure were very talented! Aspen was envious on how people could make such pretty noises with instruments and their own voices it was amazing!

She pressed her face on the window too watch as a man played the piano the fact that a guy was making this sound made the music even more pretty! Aspen had slowly turned the door-knob and opened the door walking in rather quietly although something confused her she only saw one person but she could sense another presence it was an element to her gift since she was able too distribute energy too her clones she could also sense it as well. Shrugging it off Aspen had figured her gift was invisibility so she waved too the guy playing the piano. "Hellloooo people!! Hope Im not disturbing your lesson am I?" Her voice was rather loud she had flinched at it she didnt want too speak this loudly she always had problems with being quiet. Smiling polietely she had sat down on a chair messing around with her hair and couldnt help but remember something. This was the second person she bumped into with the gift of invisibility maybe it was the same person?
