Painting Music (Miya/Eve)

@"Paradox"

Miya could hardly contain her excitement as classes were let out. The day had finally come after all the arrangements were made for Eve to paint while she played! She could hardly sit still during class! What kept her sitting still mostly was due to the head injury she had obtained a few days prior. It wasn't bleeding or bad, she mostly just got headaches from it that she couldn't take aspirin to deal with.

Miya increased her pace as she walked to the music room. She didn't know if Eve was there or not, but she was going to make sure she had everything set up before they began. Miya was wearing her long coat like normal with a white t-shirt underneath and black jeans. She had a change of clothes in her back pack for an idea she had later, if Eve allowed it. Her hair was tied back with the bandage showing as it made a sort of headband around her head. She had gotten the bandage changed that morning so she didn't have to worry about it too much.

Miya walked into the music room and didn't register anything other then setting up. The piano was already in position which made Miya make a small squeal of joy to herself. She walked up to the piano and set her things down under the bench and began tuning it to make sure everything was to the sound she wanted while humming to herself as she went about her business.

Miya had placed attached her MP3 player to the stereo she normally used to help with sounds that weren't a piano. She decided to start with some jazz while she waited for Eve to show up. As she started, Miya had even started to sing while she played just because she was in such a good mood.

It hadn't even registered that anyone had opened the door and called out to her because she was singing and playing. She had looked up and saw a man carrying a canvas with Eve enter the room. Miya was at a vocal break when she noticed then and decided to continue the song anyway. While she was slightly embarrassed with someone she didn't know hearing her, Eve being there made it feel less.

"Eve! Hey! Ohmygod the fun can start now. I'm so excited to see you! I'd run down and hug you but, well, had a small mishap a couple of days ago. See this?" Miya parted her hair and showed the bandage that it was hiding and pointed to it, "Kinda got his with a flying rock. I can still play though, Nurse cleared me for that. Sooooooooo, whose your friend?"

Miya enjoyed the hug and nodded her head. She was alright, no headaches or anything like that. She made sure she would still be able to play today and had rested enough. On the chance something happened, well, the phone wasn't that far away. Miya was glad to know Eve was worried, knowing that she could rely on her.

Now the other guy, Deith, was making Miya feel a little wary. He was handsome she'd admit that. But something else seemed off. She couldn't put her tongue on it, but she figured it was just because it was someone new she was meeting. Nothing to be too concerned about for the moment. Miya turned around in her chair an gave Eve her own hug, letting go after a minute and diving straight into her music bag.

"You two sound adorable you know that? Anyway yeah we can get started. Just depends on the type of music you want to start with. I got many different genres I can play, audio track included for pieces that need it. Go ahead and take a look through and see if anything strikes your fancy. Just be careful with the sheets alright? Most are copies, but rather not see them tore up."

"Powerful and passionate huh?"

Miya had to think for a moment on that one. She picked up her folder and began going through it trying to see if any piece she had with her would fit well. She hadn't even taken note of what they were setting up or doing till the light disappeared a bit. Looking up Miya noticed the strange atmosphere. Listening to what Deith had said she figured it was some kind of magic he had.

It was still weird. She had only been expecting to play for Eve and now had another person as well who she knew nothing about. Given how the two spoke along with what Eve had mentioned then it was safe to feel at ease around him. If he was the reason she was on the island then things were alright. She hoped anyway, but time would only tell.

Miya looked around more at setting that was created. It looked like something out of a war movie. Now she had something she could use to think of a piece. She didn't have that many that would fit off the top of her head but she had one that might work.

"Yeah I think I got a couple in mind. Just have to see if I actually have the sheet music with me. Only a few pieces I have memorized, and that isn't one of them. Hmm...Can't use the synthesizer at the moment....Hmm maybe this'll work."

Miya opened up the rings in her binder and removed one of the pieces, carefully setting it on the piano stand before removing the sheet music from it. This would be nearly perfect for the type of music she wanted. Or for the time being, a warm up.

"Alright this one should work. If it's not what you're working for I'll switch to another one. Ready?"


Miya turned around briefly to set her binder down along with changing the track on her MP3 player to match with what she was about to start playing. Back facing the pair Miya took in a deep breath and exhaled as her hands came to rest on the keyboard. She would wait till given the okay from Eve to start, having taken her right shoe off and her toe on the play button to start the accompanying music. She had done this so many times this was habit to her.

Her body moved with the music increasing its movement as she moved down the keyboard, slowing down when it need to . It was how she naturally played and she did it unconsciously. She knew she did it from people telling her, but she wasn't aware when she was in the act.

Miya's playing and movements became more wild and passionate as the song went on. She was lost in the music. The world had shaped into something else within her mind as she played and basically blocked out everything as she did. All that mattered was the noise emitting from the piano and the notes connecting. She had almost all but forgotten why she was playing until it came to a finish.

Miya looked out as her piece finished and she saw Eve furiously going at her canvas. Miya tilted her head a bit curious but knew she couldn't see it till it was finished. But how to continue she wondered? She had a few more pieces in mind to keep with the same style. Quickly shuffling pages and finding the right accompaniment track, Miya's hands came to rest on the piano as she started up once more.



Miya knew this piece wasn't focused entirely on the piano and the piano part was simply to underlay the other instruments, but given the scenery behind her Miya believed it would work perfectly. There were times the piano was soft and unheard, but Miya was still moving and keeping up with the music. She just hoped the background instruments along with the song itself wasn't all that sad for Eve and Deith to listen to.

(Cue out the baby crying noises, they wouldn't have been in Miya's background tracks)
