PostPosted: Sat Sep 19, 2020 4:29 pm 
The first thing Hide had noticed as she walked into the Drunk’n Crab was the very nice air conditioning. Why hadn’t she discovered this place earlier? That alone made her want to come back, which she was planning on doing anyway. She scanned the bar for someplace nice to sit. For future reference, as she ultimately just takes a seat by the entrance.

Ruhe had promised to keep coming, and here he was, fiddle in hand.

Well that was a familiar face. Hide waved to the Unicorn, big grin on her face. "Heyyyyy. Moto-san, you gonna play?"

It seemed like Hide was gonna be really casual here. She didn't care much for the formalities, anyway.

"Sure, Matsu-san!" He waved back with a broad smile. "You gonna listen?"

“Why wouldn’t I? I heard you at the Kayama. I’m kind of jealous, not gonna lie.” Hide crosses her arms, giving Ruhe a huge grin. “Man, I wish I had a talent like that. All I’m able to do in the music arena is embarrass myself at karaoke. How much practice you do to get that good?”

"As much as your heart dictates, frankly." Ruhe never looked at it from the perspective of practice. "Techniques are important, but if someone doesn't feel it spiritually, no amount of hard work can fix that. At least that's my experience." He paused by to offer her his hand for a handshake. "Still, you may be underselling yourself on this. I bet your spirit is strong and you can growl ferociously!"

She glanced down at the extended hand and without hesitation took it and gave him a firm shake. All the while, Hide couldn’t help but let out a hardy laugh. “Mother was a Moto, probably won’t get the same reaction from my other Clan mates, however.”

“As for your spirit being into it, doesn’t hard work and dedication mean you’re passionate about your music? Maybe I’m wrong, but I tend to believe that these things aren’t mutually exclusive.”

Tetsu perks up when he comes in a bit early and sees Ruhe at the bar.

"Moto-san!" Tetsu offers the handshake he's become accustomed to. "I didn't hear you were playing tonight, do you need your sound man again?"

"A Moto mom? You're practically family! That's grand!" Ruhe was happy, and it was good that she had told him for it meant she couldn't be his choice; Shinjo's Laws against inbreeding and all. "I mean they're one way to express it, but not the only one. So you're not wrong at all!"

He then warmly greeted Tetsu. "Looks like I'll have an audience, so let's plug it all up, mate!"

“I think I found which side of my family has the party gene, then!” She couldn’t stop herself from smiling, Ruhe seemed pretty happy.

Hide blinked, wow there’s Crab she hasn’t met with yet? How many were there at the miai anyway?

“I see Moto-san is a popular guy.”

Tetsu flashes a thumbs up to the Lion. "Oh, very much. I think Tomo-san keeps giving him drinks on the house because he's fantastic for business. That and he's, well, a genial fellow who can rock his ass off. I'm Kaiu Tetsu by the way. I'll be happy to chat, but I have to run a quick sound check."

Tetsu slaps a hand on Ruhe's shoulder and heads to the sound booth.

"I'll give you guys some reasons to party!" Ruhe laughed and hopped on stage to get his power fiddle plugged, after which he sent Hide some gang signs.

Tetsu offers a thumbs up as the sound check finishes and heads back to Hide. "Greetings again Lion-san. I am sorry, I didn't catch your name and I haven't seen you around before"

She gave the Moto a big wave as he set up. This was going to be a lot of fun. “Show us what you got, Moto-san!”

Hide turned her attention back to the Crab, arms crossed over her chest and a big grin on her face. “Good to see more Crab around. I’m sorry to have not introduced myself yet. Matsu Hide, just a simple marine with no big fancy titles. But I am the Matsu here that knows how to party.”

Ruhe grabbed the mic and addressed the bar crowd. "Tonight, I'm gonna try something different with you. If you feel like moving your asses to my music and sing with me, grab your drinks and..." *Mortal Kombat Scorpion growl mode* "Come over here!"

Then he started to play. It was a weird but quirky and very danceworthy combo of metal and swing. Someone else couldn't have pulled that off. But Ruhe did that, and masterfully so.

LE7. Club Night Music! 3R.: 8d10o10k5 59

He started with a piece called "Shochu Inferno", tongue-in-cheek.

Quote:
Saved by her grace, oh so fair without a lock of hair
Grabs her by the waist, lifts her high above
Says: behold my love!

With you, I'll never be lonely
Without you I'll never be sane
For you, I shall conquer the oceans
For you, I'll just leave them again

Shochu love affairs, we fill our lungs with hymns of
Pride and poverty and we shall overcome
Bring her into our hearts of tar and stone
Until that warm embrace will come

Words so tender, whispered slowly
Heed her bittersweet caress
Swears he'll never leave, he'll never lie to her again

My dear, forgive me my feelings
My dear, I'll give you my all
Just save me from all of these thoughts now
Just spare me, be there when I fall

Woken by her voice
A song she's hummed so many times before
Hear her calling, hear her yearning
For his hand again

Tetsu nods. "Oh, there's plenty of us. You'll see a ton of us if you hang around here. We've informally adopted this palce as our own"

The young Crab cheers as the music plays, the crowd stirred up by yet another rocking performance.

“Well, I’m good friends with a couple of your Clan here. Met another yesterday as well. So you’d be the fourth I’ve met?”

Hide watched the Moto play with a hint of wonder in her eyes. This miai sure brought some interesting folks, but she never expected this level of talent here. And of the cheers, Hide’s was among the loudest. ”Yeaaaaah!”

"WHOOOOOO!" Tetsu's voice mingles with Hide's. "You were right, you rock hard Matsu-san!"

"Whooooyeaah, that's right!" And Ruhe quickly hopped onto another fast piece, Memoir of a Roadkill.

Quote:
Fire friend, you're chasing hollow shells
Perfect ten with a perfect tale to tell
All the choirs screaming, let them in
Shut the door, and share their passionate skin
In a trance, so no one dares to speak
What if we lose, what if they know we're too weak

Wish I'd told you all
Wish I'd shown you all them places where we can never go
When all the words turned cold
Eyes wide open, wish I'd closed them, ‘cause now it just won't let go

Shelter ghosts to show who we could blame
Nothing to show for, nothing to write to my name
Now when the hands all sing your song
My breath is poison, all I know it is gone
Speak now, you better go in peace
Forgiven word, forgotten all I've seen

“Hey, I gotta have something going for me!” Hide couldn’t help but give a sincere laugh (at her own expense) before she pumped a fist into the air and chanted, ”YEAAAAH! Moto! Moto!”
