uggggggggh but it takes forever!!!

[is she texting as she walks? yes.]

and can you blame me? a girl could get used to that sort of thing!

[mukagen]

[ is it time to regret listing gojou as your friend, iris ]

yeah, but now you might gain weight.

[rainbowings]

AHHHH!!!
why would you even say that?!

[is gojou in the music room already, because he might hear the flurry of high heels on the ground as iris bolts for the room. if not she's just going to beat him there.]

[mukagen]

[ He isn't there yet............. HAHAHAHA.

He does, however, come in like a whole minute after her. ]

Wow! You got here so fast?

[rainbowings]

[he's so rude???]

I didn't wanna keep you waiting! [she's very sincere about that, but she's sitting by the piano and patiently waiting.] Besides, I didn't go all the way upstairs yet anyway.

[mukagen]

[ A MINUTE LATE ISN'T BAD. The shuffling he heard in front of him, though... Funny. ]

Well, we're here!

[ He takes a seat next to her on the piano. ]

Soooo... [ Plays up the scales obnoxiously. ] Got any ideas to start with?

[rainbowings]

[he made her think she was late and then she still beat him. it's fine, this is her own doing. either way she does seem happy to see him and watches his hands slide over the keys.]

Hmm...why don't you show me what you've already learned? You said you were teaching yourself, right?

[mukagen]

... It's mostly classical?

[ The things he did while Omi was dead instead of idk getting cr with the living. He does twinkle twinkle little star first before going into Hungarian Dance No.5. ]

[rainbowings]

[that's both sweet and also kind of sad. but she's listening attentively, pulling a face when it's just twinkle twinkle little but then. you know. that happens.]

...you realize that not everyone can learn a song like that in a matter of weeks. [she's. incredibly impressed what the fuck.]

[mukagen]

It depends on how quickly you can learn something. Fortunately, learning one instrument made it a little easier to learn the other.

[ Just because of being able to read music notes. Also, he only knows how to play maybe a couple of difficult songs well before moving onto another hobby. ]

I'm not an expert, so it will take me a bit. Especially when we're making a song ourselves?

[ basically gojou sucks in what they're gonna do ]

[rainbowings]

[it's fine, they can be bad at this together.]

That's true. I've never really learned to read the notes myself but we can figure it out.

[she plunks at a key.] So first thing's first. What kind of song do you want to write? What do you want it to say?

[mukagen]

[ Gojou... Squints. Isn't Iris the idol, why is she MAKING HIM CHOOSE? What would she love? ]

A victory tune? Probably something catchy you can share to everyone and it's something they can remember when they head home?

[ Mentally pats himself on the back. ]

[rainbowings]

[listen. iris makes her music to be inspirational but she also doesn't write the music herself.]

Hm...so something really upbeat and fun. Like a party anthem to say that people should celebrate the good things they got out of all of the bad times. Think that's a little too accurate?

[it did at least distract her so good job, gojou.]

[mukagen]

[ Gojou did this for her, please. ]

What's wrong with being accurate? Sometimes a personal uplift is a good vibe, especially after...

[ GESTURES AT EVERYTHING. ]

[rainbowings]

[THERE IS A REASON SHE'S BEING KINDA CAGEY ABOUT IT AND THAT REASON IS....]

Nothing's wrong with it! I think I'm just...[...] I'm excited. Really. But it almost feels too good to be true that everything's really going to be okay.

[her wish...is a lot.]

A personal uplift that lets people ride the high of their successes. So like...[she hits a series of keys on the higher end of the scale.] Upbeat and fast.

[mukagen]

It's a leap of faith, right?

[ His ego adds to the optimism, but he's very much of a "it'll fine" kind of guy. Gojou hums. ]

Fast is fine, but what about harmonious? Emphasizing that we all did this together this time without stabbing each other.

[rainbowings]

Maybe something with two parts then that blend in the center. That's kind of what happened here with everyone. We started out separately and then overlapped. Like Mozart's sonata for two pianos? I heard someone playing it here one time.

[mukagen]

[ Nodding as he writes that down... He brought a notepad. ]

Makes sense to me. [ And without thinking: ] Do you know what key you want the song in?

[rainbowings]

C major! [she apparently has the answer for that.] It's the most upbeat so it'll be the easiest.

[mukagen]

[ Good job, Iris!! ]

How long are we thinking? Standard three minute-ish? Or do we want a brisk two?

[rainbowings]

With the attention span of everybody here? Definitely two. Short, sweet and to the point!

[mukagen]

It’s just a minute difference.

[ Thinking about it— ]

Two minutes it is.

[rainbowings]

[thanks, she knows she's right.]

We want to captivate the audience, and you know how fast things can change in a single minute. So we hit them with a sound that's immediately upbeat, and carry them through a melody that makes them want to dance along.

[mukagen]

Fine, fine! That sounds right.

[ THEIR PIGEON BRAINS SMALL HE KNOWS ]

Have you thought about the melody already? Can you hum it out?

[rainbowings]

Let's see...[music is hard over text, so when she hums it's something light and cheery and 100% like what you'd hear in an anime ending. like like this.] Something like that?
