✪ Flute of the Devil! Song of Saburo! ✪ [Video]

[loyal_cube]

[Cube comes on screen, he fumbles with a strange cane/flute with red wings surrounding what appears to be an eyeball on the end for a bit. His voice has a nervous edge to it.]

Ah, Gakupo-san... I-I think I'm ready t-to play. I hope you and others enjoy it. I-I've not played for very long, but I hope it will be alright.

[The small demon brings the flute to his lips and pauses just before playing a rather sad-sounding tune. He continues this way for a while, a note here or there is a bit off key but for the most part he seems to play it alright. Cube's face looks more and more frustrated as he concentrates on playing. He repeats the main of the song twice before the feed cuts itself off.]

((ooc: Thanks to the devil flute, ROBOTS/CYBORGS are welcome to act strange. Generally something sad, angry, or destructive. This video is an example of what Jiro in the anime did. The song will have no ill effects on anyone else; just robots and cyborgs!! If you have any questions, please contact me.))

[That sounds so much like something out of Ghostbusters ide...]

Huh... that's a pretty tune.

Don't use that sexy-cute-icon-thing at Cube!!!

[loyal_cube]

[Cube's face is bright with embarrassment.]

A-Ah, th-thank you. I-it's the tune Saburo-san whistled b-before he left. I-I sort of... meant it for him, r-really.

aldikjaklsdjal IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE orz... he's just chilling with wings ;; *uses fake innocent one*

[fierybluebird]

Saburo?

STOP FLIRTING WITH CUBE OR I'LL TELL ACE, MARCO! lmao

[loyal_cube]

Yes. He's someone I consider my "big brother," even though we're not of blood relation. We couldn't have been... since he is a robot but he didn't like me calling him that. I did it for fun as he usually teased me for fun as well.

I miss him, like many others I've come to call my family. I'll see him again someday.

[Or maybe not since, you know, Saburo DIES but Cube doesn't know that.]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Ah... Cube-san plays quite well.

When he's finished playing...

[loyal_cube]

[Cube blushes and bows his head lightly]

T-Thank you, Japan-san.

It's not... as well as I remember it b-but I will continue practicing until I have perfected it.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

I quite enjoy that instrument... [The melody was a little sad though...]

I am certain you will improve quickly.

[loyal_cube]

A-Are you familiar with it? [He looks the black flute up and down before tracing his fingers over the small holes.]

Thank you. I'll do my best when I have the time to spare. I wish I knew how to play from music, though.

Oh, great! Lets hear it!

[Gakupo sits down outside the house he shared with Luka and Canada. The tune is sad, yes, but that is the least of his worries. The dark tune made him feel...angry. His circuitry, his programming...they all began to react to this new found emotion. The communicator is dropped to the ground, leaving an image of the area he was in from ground level.

There were small growls of anger as Gakupo clutched at his hair. Not long after could there be violent sword swinging sounds, along with the harsh musical notes his weapon produced.]



(ooc: anyone in Spero is welcome to find Gakupo like this.)

[ACTION /spams Cube's journal oops]

[fierybluebird]

[Flying along all casual like and taking those other pictures for Japan when he spots Gaukpo. --> Changes to human to say hi.]

Yo! Gakupo! [WAVES.]

[ACTION] oops? >.>

[thepurpleway]

[Gakupo doesn't answer, only stares at Marco with blue eyes with red pupils. At first he tries to resist the urge to stalk towards Marco, sword in hand, but it is a futile attempt as long as the music keeps playing.]

[ACTION] :3

[fierybluebird]

Uh... Gakupo?? Were your eyes always like that?

[Oblivious to danger, but mostly just a little skeeved out.]

[VIDEO / sometime after he finishes playing] I am completely ok with spamming. Have fun!!

[loyal_cube]

[Cube is so pleased with himself for playing most of the song correctly that it takes a moment for him to really understand what's happening in Gakupo's feed.]

G-Gakupo-san?!

Are you alright?

[thepurpleway]

[Who knows what happened during that time, but Gakupo stops whatever he's doing once Cube finishes playing. He blinks, looking around the area he is in. It's a mess.]

...what happened?

[loyal_cube]

Gakupo-san? Can you hear me?! I-It's Cube!

Are you alright? The video looked as though something happened! W-Were you attacked?!

[ Music, huh? Kotomi seems to be listening intently. ]

That's.. a very nice song, even if it's a little sad..

[ video ]

[loyal_cube]

It's Saburo's song.

[No it's not but he thinks it is.]

He used to whistle it.

[ video ]

[todayitwasyou.livejournal.com]

This Saburo person.. Was he usually a little sad then as well?

[always-on-duty.livejournal.com]

Stop! Stop it! That hurts! STOP IT!

[...It sounds like he's in pain, maybe a little scared and confused. Why should a pretty song cause him pain?]

[loyal_cube]

[Cube drops the flute, fumbles with it and then looks at the communicator.]

W-What?!

[Was is playing THAT BAD?!]

[always-on-duty.livejournal.com]

[Oh, good, he stopped.]

Don't play that again!

[The song, or the flute? Honestly, he doesn't care, whichever one it was that made him hurt like that.]

[sensitivefire.livejournal.com]

Argh! What the fuck is that sound? Damn it!

_{[Sorry, cube, he's in pain thanks to his cyborg-ness. At least it's pretty?]}

[loyal_cube]

[Another complaint? What is going on here?]

I-I'm very sorry. I didn't know it would sound so bad.

[Cube is simply confused]

[sensitivefire.livejournal.com]

_{[Darn that soft spot in him, he didn't mean to make the kid sad.]}

It didn't sound bad really...it just hurt is all...dunno why.

_{[Music shouldn't hurt.]}

Jus...maybe don't broadcast it like that next time.

[voice]

[pilot_princess]

I've heard that before...
