[action; 947 Beulah St.]

[It seems today there are a few packages out on the front porch addressed to Rin! She was about to go out and find a way to kill some time, but this is immediately more interesting. After taking the mail inside and opening it, she finds her stuff from the Opening of Project Diva 2nd: Her school uniform, her orange guitar, and its accessories.

Well, there go her plans for today! She can be found jamming a punk song out on her guitar in the yard to test it out. She'll debut the school uniform when school is actually in session.]

[Did she really have somewhere to be? The household seemed to expect her to go home, make dinner, and otherwise do boring housewifey junk... Gat could get by without her. And he wouldn't need to worry.]

...no. No, I don't have anywhere to be!

Can I, ah... watch you practice?

[More music. More music would be so nice. Rin may just have a new number one fan.]

Sure! It'll be fun, right?

[Besides, more fans is ALWAYS good when she's trying to stay on top of her rival.]

Here, I'll play "Music of the heavens." ♪

[She takes her guitar back up and begins to sing and play another rock song for Dakki.]

It'll be fun.

[Dakki nods when Rin gives the title, and then moves herself to sit comfortably on the lawn. She's absolutely entranced by it all. The melody, the lyrics, Rin's performance... It was so novel. So raw and so emotional. There had been CAST composers, music was socially acceptable to appreciate, but a performance like Rin's was just a great big glorious middle finger to the toxic CAST culture she had left behind.

The meaning of it all wasn't clear. The song painted a picture, more than it told a story, but the picture was one that Dakki was sure she had seen before.

At the end of it, Dakki is beaming, and applauding with considerable enthusiasm.

And a little damp around the eyes.]

[Rin is only vaguely aware at best of the political connotations her music is having for her new friend, but one thing is clear - she's been able to touch someone's heart today. She manages to stay in character while singing, but when she's done, she lowers the guitar a bit and smiles genuinely]

Geez ... you're a great audience! ♪

[Dakki's applause slows to a stop, and she starts to rise to her feet.]

A great performer deserves a great audience. You're wonderful, Rin. I...

[She turns herself away under the pretense of brushing grass and dirt off of herself, but her voice is starting to sound choked up.]

I-I really shouldn't leave Gat waiting. I should get home.

[she really IS going to cry... Well, Rin will just have to ask later. She raises a hand to wave her off]

Okay, take care! ♪

[Oh Rin you are such a delightful person giving an out, Dakki's weird about crying in front of people.

For all that she seems to be prone to it, lately.]

T-take care!

[She gives Rin a bright smile and a wave, then is off like a shot, running home in a rather unladylike fashion.]

[It's all good; she understands! Rin doesn't like crying in front of people either.

She tilts her head a bit at the mad dash that Dakki seems to be making, but once she's disappeared over the horizon, Rin looks around and then goes back to strumming absently.]
