[A face that looks like someone spilled White Out on it appears on the vine.]

Okay, I've been kidnapped.

By Disney, I guess.

Who else is here, and what are we supposed to be building?

[Mahalia smiles softly at the mirror, sitting cross-legged on the ground of the clearing where she found her flower. She is looking more happy and serene than she has since she arrived in the Gardens.]

The flowers have bloomed. [She tilts the mirror gently to show her flower in example, reaching to touch the deep-red petals with careful fingers.] I don't know what I was worried about, they're perfect, and smell so lovely.

[She carries on admiring the flower for a while, humming softly, seeming to forget she was talking to the vine at all, but she looks back eventually.]

I think I might sing for a while. I haven't felt like it, recently, but everything seems so much brighter today. [Her smile grows wider.] If anyone would like to hear, I would love to sing for you. Songs are always better, shared.

[Action: She'll be in the clearing most of the day, singing birdsong with no human words but clear romantic tones, the occasional lyrical song about soulmates or fairytales. She will be incredibly affectionate and touchy-feely, but nothing stronger than hugging.]
 
 
[There is an Anna gathering firewood from the Orchards, dressed in a particular blue scarf today, because it's today. Singing, very softly, to herself. Not a love song, exactly, but clearly one with great personal and romantic significance...]

"Some people say I'm agressive
Because I know what I want, but
That never mattered too much to me.

Show me a girl without a goal
I'll show you a girl with no control
Cause life is for living.
Go and get it!
But when the going gets rough remember -

Sometime's there gonna be days like this,
Sometime's there gonna be pain like this,
Sometime there gonna be strain like this,
Somedays you gotta work hard for it..."

[the Vine reveals Kallen, who clearly does not realize at all she's being broadcasted right now, bopping a little as she relaxes beneath a tree, looking distinctly...happier than anyone has probably seen her in the Garden. or outside of it, for that matter]

You hit me once, I hit you back~
You gave a kick, I gave a smack~
You smashed a plate over my head~
And I set fire to your be~d~

[ Aren't all these flowers in blossom so beautiful? Chen can't help but think so too, singing out a song as she makes her way through the growth of the garden. There's a cat held ever so lovingly in her arms and a scroll peeking out of her hand.. ]

Lllll~ Is forr the waay you look at me~
Oh~ is for the the only onee I seeee~
Mmmm mmm...~

[ What a way to wake up in a garden. She sounds like a little kid singing it, sometimes hitting the notes too high and sounding scratchy.

The poor cat. ]

[video]

[Grell is lying on her back in the grass, her flower near her, and her eyes shut as she sings. She's singing a bit low, but she seems entranced by the music.]

Be silent, be still
Don't make me chase you
I'll warn you, I will
Just to embrace you
I'll get my fill
So be silent, be still

Be hopeful, be brave
I only want you more
When you misbehave
I know I've said that before
It's your touch I crave
So be silent, be still

I can't sing.

I hate Valentines day.

I've just made a fool of myself.

I think I'll find a hole to crawl into until this is over.

[ Normally, Larry is not much of a singer. Even in the shower, she'd be self-conscious about SOMEONE hearing her. Minnie May wouldn't leave her alone, for certain.

For some reason, though, as she sets up targets for practice shooting, she feels like singing a song that was popular shortly before she'd left, a bit cheesy but pretty damn good.

Her singing, on the other hand, is decidedly lacking. ]

And I would do anything for love,

I'd run right into hell and back,

I would do anything for love,

I'll never lie to you and thats a fact.


[ Can you tell when she's from? At least she's getting the words right. ]

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now

- Oh no - no way - I would do anything for love,

But I wont do that, I wont do that, anything for love,

I would do anything for love, I would do anything for love,

But I wont do that, I wont do that.

[Well Yukari is aware of the shenanigans...and decides the best solution is to GO ALONG WITH IT. So on the vine you are treated to sound of Yukari's voice, which is at least pleasant to listen to...but she's singing THIS!]

I don't care, who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

[And on from there]


[Later on however, you might be able to catch Yukari away from the vine, singing something VERY different]

Can you feel my heart?
isumademo
anata no kanade ru rhythm wo, kanji tai
Can you feel my beat?
hohoemi ga
sekai wo yuru gasu melody
tsukuri dasu
Can you feel my heart?


[ooc: I couldn't decide whether to do something serious and self-referential or silly and spur-of-the-moment, so I decided to do both. Please specify which song you're responding to. Sorry for the gratuitous Japanese]
 
 
*Setsuko can be found... singing this cute song.*

*and dancing, too*

*whenever there's a break in being affected by the flowers, she really doesn't look happy*

How do you stop it?!

*and she goes back to singing*

[France is quite clearly in the arena, cooking at one of the stoves, apron on and swinging her hips as she sings quietly to herself. Her rose is next to her, fully bloomed and a dark red. She smiles at the vine.]

Cuizi c'est quoi!
Ta position favorite~


Ahaha, I'm not sure why, but I am in a good mood... This is a rather lovely day though, so I suppose it makes sense. Mm, what I want is... Someone to eat this delicious food with me! [She does seem a little giddy, and she giggles again.]

Tes performances olympiques
Mais tu nas rien d'orgasmique~


Any volunteers?

Tu es tout nu
Sous ton tablier!


[... I-I promise she's dressed under her apron. For now.]

[Like the others, Fate has no idea the Vine is recording her as she sings. She's currently in the Orchards, helping pick a variety of food for her and her friends' dinner tonight, and she just happened to brush against the Vine as she set a few things into a basket she had taken along with her.]

Haruka sora hibiiteiru inori ha kiseki ni...

[Not everyone will be able to understand the song, but hey, she's not singing with other people in mind.

It's slower, a bit softer than normal, but the emotion is still behind it, and the warm smile on Fate's face shows that she definitely means what she's singing. Also, that is exactly what her singing voice sounds like.]


mayanaka no aoi ni todokete nagareteku namida no tsubu
mayoinaku tsutsumikomu nukumori ni deatta
masshiro na yuki no you ni doko mademo sunao na kotoba
tetsu no hane matotta boku wo ugokashiteku...

[And she'll continue singing until someone calls out to her on the Vine, or if anyone nearby approaches her.]

[Jessica has (very cautiously) acquired magic dirt. She is (again, very cautiously) working at it, slowly and meticulously forming a work desk. And singing, too intent on her work to notice her impromptu performance.]

I'm like a mirror baby
I refract light back at you
So silent, so thin, so tricky now
We do the things that lovers do

I'm not at liberty to say
How a secret message came for you today
It holds the secrets of my heart and my mind
It tells of vast expanses stretching backwards over time

[The mirror forms from a an accidental touch as Kenshin works her way around a wall, looking for something in particular, knowing she'll find it eventually. She's silent for the moment, though she has been singing for no apparent reason all day... songs she doesn't know on top of it--but it isn't anything like being turned into a dragon so she has been ignoring it. But that doesn't change the odd mood she's been in...]

[She finds what she's looking for, moving to kneel down before a patch of blue irises, the prickly expression she normally has on having softened significantly into something almost sad. And then the singing starts. There is a moment of irritation when it starts, but she just lets it come out, not entirely even realizing the words until they're already past her tongue, her voice quiet, following the melody of the song as simply as possible...]

[She reaches out to one of the irises, almost like she is singing directly to it for a moment, at least before reaching down to carefully pick the flower in question, followed by another and continuing while she sings until she has a small bouquet...]


Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared
'Neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right...
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king?
If I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say
You know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Yes my life, it's better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance...



[She falls to silence afterward, raising her free hand to rest over the scar on her left cheek, just staring at the flowers she's gathered, currently lost in whatever memories were bringing all of this on in the first place.]



[ooc; "The Dance" by Garth Brooks *cough* I'M UP FOR ANYTHING! Kenshin... is... D| well fluffy emotional crap is just bringing up memories of her dead 'wife'... so kind of a big ball of goo right now D| Existing CR, she's going to be surprisingly nonabrasive right now, new CR I'm not sure on... GOOD CR she might accept hugs or more depending... IN OTHER WORDS I'M TOTALLY PLAYING IT BY EAR]

[ Though she did not take care of her plant at all--a princess must have standards, after all, and she was curious--the determined little thing bloomed nevertheless. As it was doing so, Azula was inspecting the little thing closely.

Just a bit too closely, even if she did keep what she had thought to be a reasonable distance.

As it bloomed, it let out its big puff of sweet-scented fragrance, which the princess got more than a slight whiff of. After determining she was not, in fact, poisoned, Azula realized she actually felt good.

...Good and very, very friendly. Very friendly.
]

I feel my temperature rising,
High higher,
It's burning through to my soul.

Girl, girl, girl.
You gonna set me on fire.
My brain is flaming!
I don't know which way to go.

Your kisses lift me higher,
Like the sweet song of a choir.
You light my morning sky
With burning love.


[That heavy dose of magical scent was strong enough that she doesn't mind she's singing a song (and doing so well) she has never, ever heard before; she isn't even bothered by what the lyrics are saying! In fact, she is very unlikely to be embarrassed if any lady were to overhear her nearby or see her over the Vine.

Neither I nor Azula will apologize for all the bodices spontaneously torn within earshot.

[ The face that comes into view on the vine looks... surprisingly unfazed by the situation its bearer finds herself in. She's taken the time to react and try to adjust to all of this already, difficult as that was; she's not even sure it's real at this point, but since she doesn't seem able to bring herself back to reality, she may as well focus on the matter at hand for now. Her eyes flick away to something out of view, then back to the vine. ]

... This is ridiculous. [ A small sigh. ]

There are people I need to find. Any warriors with blonde hair and silver eyes... I'd like to be notified of their whereabouts. Alternatively, if you fit that description, I'd like to speak with you.

[ Another pause; she looks on the verge of saying something, and then just sighs again and closes her eyes. ] I shouldn't be here.
 
 
14 February 2011 @ 09:04 pm
So while you guys were all wasting your time screwing around with flowers, I was being totally productive. I went exploring and got some magic sunshine dirt, or whatever, and I made the choir room.

And that made me feel like Rachel Berry, so I took, like, eighteen showers. But now that I've washed off all the midget, I realize that it's a good thing, and I can finally perform for all you losers who have practically been going down on me for a song.

[And she starts into the song that kept them from getting their asses kicked at Sectionals. She has no backing band or vocals, here, but she can still sing.]

[...]


...so why don't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?


I'm still hot.

((ooc: Had to break hiatus for a little while for the musical stuff because come on, she's from Glee!))

[Sae is sitting peacefully in the orchard, her hands twisting her rose to and fro.. the only odd thing about this scene is singing in full sentences.

The vine appears to have enjoyed her singing, and begun to broadcast her voice]

[She appears to be singing the short version of the song. However, she still hums the tune while sitting there]

[ooc: The video has a small NSFW picture in it from the tv ending, just as a warning]
