[D7, MM, Ishi and Ino] Fire and Water

Post by Matsu Ishioka » Thu Aug 19, 2021 6:21 pm

When their turn comes, it is the Lion who begins first, strumming slowly on a shamisen as he sings out dramatically in his deep bass voice.
Fire and water don't get together
Can not be bound, are not related
Drown in sparks, I stand in flames
And burn in the water
Burn in the water
-------
D7 duet. Roll 1: Perform/Water TN2. Water 3, 0 skill | TN: 2 | Success: 2 / Opportunity: 2 / Strife: 3
Image Image Image Image
1 momentum point. 1 opp to show off, 1 water opp to add an opp to next roll. Net +3 strife.
Came in 0/12 composure, now 3/12 composure.
Lion Clan * Bushi * "The Stone Matsu" * Few words, many thoughts * Isn't mad at you, but is disappointed
Honor: 61 | Glory: 51 | Status: 35
Courtship points: check courtship tracker.
Wears/carries: fantastic poker face, common Lion bushi garb, daisho, fan with meditative/skeptical lion painted on it.

Inoshishi smiles sweetly, moving her hands rhythmically while harmonizine the deep bass voice with high, happy bits, the combination being a verbal fire and water, mixing without touching.
You're the one that I want!
And I need a man,
And my heart is set on you.
You better understand, to my heart I must be true!

Ishioka continues to play, steadily increasing the intensity as he moves about the stage to symbolize the swirl of water around them. At one point Inoshishi's hands pass close to the Lion's face and he notes a certain discoloration, his eyes widening noticeably, but the man stays on beat and continues with the song. His tone swings from denial in the first chorus to hesitant warning in the second chorus, as the melody tracks with a rising energy between the performers.

Inoshishi looks over at Ishioka mischievously and switches tunes, crashing from upbeat to soulful as she closes in on the Matsu, the passion evident in her eyes
You're the one that I want
Aaaaand...key change, chord change.
And I can't change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, my love
He keeps me warm
She finishes with a flourish, fine iron dust tossed out of her kimono, lit to bright red sparks that fade before they hit the floor. Fireworks, baby.
