endlessairship*after kurapika falls asleep in his own cabin, melody takes her leave to give him some privacy. she intends to return to the music room to vent some of her feelings into the piano, but freezes in place when the next door she passes has her own name on it. she opens it up and finds herself in an elegant bedroom open to a balcony overlooking a peaceful spring field, not unlike the one she conjures with her flute. gasping in delight, she runs to the balcony and clings to the railing, breathing in the fresh spring air with a peaceful smile.*
what a wonderful place!
ooc: feel free to come visit melody here any time!

don’t worry, i won’t reveal your secret to anyone else.

Date: 2023-01-25 03:53 pm (UTC)I appreciate that. It’s much more fun when they figure it out~ She purrs.
Gon didn’t seem all too…perturbed by it. In fact he seemed fascinated. Killua doesn’t know. But he might suspect something is strange.
Last I saw him was that hot topic place. All kinds of interesting things in there.

Date: 2023-01-25 04:11 pm (UTC)take caution not to overwhelm him. he’s only a child, after all… killua, too. they may be quite capable, but they’re both still discovering who they are.

Date: 2023-01-25 05:14 pm (UTC)She casually waves it off. I’m not sure what you might be implying.
She answers cheerily. He’s a strong young boy. Wouldn’t want to break him would we? He has much potential to grow!
As she says this she nearly forgets that her heart clearly reveals her emotions to this woman. But she remains unbothered.
no subject
Date: 2023-01-25 05:22 pm (UTC)i just mean that he may not yet be capable of the feelings we adults are. or at least not able to understand them…
*her protruding incisors dig into her bottom lip with worry for the young boy’s naïve heart.*
…so it would be best to take things slowly so no one gets hurt.

Date: 2023-01-25 06:04 pm (UTC)As pitou resizes what the woman is implying she smiles. Not to worry. I assure you Gon is a smart boy. He knows what he’s doing.
She prowls around the room slowly. He’s in good hands. I won’t hurt him after all. Besides…
I know something you do not. She says sing song.
no subject
Date: 2023-01-25 06:20 pm (UTC)i don’t mean to meddle in your affairs. i just wanted to offer a word of advice.
*she concerns herself with the piano again, eyes on the keys.*
we don’t know how long we’ll be stuck on this airship, and i just want it to remain a peaceful place while we’re here.

Date: 2023-01-25 06:34 pm (UTC)She hums playful. I agree! I’ve been enjoying my time here. Always seems to be something new around the corner.
Have you found anything of particular interest? Any rooms of interest you like most?
She returns next to melody, leaning against the piano.

Date: 2023-01-25 08:24 pm (UTC)my favorite — aside from this one! — has to be the music room… it was the first room i found here and it contains every kind of instrument you can think of!
*her smiles fades quickly, though, when she remembers the room she just came from.*
but, i have to warn you… some rooms aren’t nearly as enjoyable. kurapika and i just stumbled into one that displays your worst memory on a projector screen. you have to go through a glass chamber when you enter, so if you see a room that looks like that, i advise you do not proceed.

Date: 2023-01-25 08:39 pm (UTC)My worst memory? Her brow furrowed as she thinks. “Do I have a bad memory?”
I may investigate it. I’m curious what it might show me. I can’t think of a bad memory.
I’d probably like to investigate the music room but I fear I don’t know how to play anything.

Date: 2023-01-25 08:53 pm (UTC)well… i’m already offering lessons to killua in there, so i wouldn’t mind taking up another student if you’d like to learn one, too.
no subject
Date: 2023-01-25 08:57 pm (UTC)She nods. I think I’d like that. Learn something new. Would be interesting to learn more about Killua as well.
But…I don’t know what I would like..

Date: 2023-01-25 11:37 pm (UTC)how about you meet me in the music room tomorrow and we’ll pick one out for you? it’s easy to find, just listen for the metronome.
no subject
Date: 2023-01-26 06:35 am (UTC)Okay…but what’s a metronome?
She tilts her head in question. She had heard of numerous instruments but has no idea what a metronome is.

Date: 2023-01-26 07:40 am (UTC)*she winks, smiling at the woman.*
find me where you find it. oh, and one last thing — i never learned your name!
no subject
Date: 2023-01-26 07:46 am (UTC)Oh! I’m sorry. My name is Neferpitou. Please just call me Pitou.
She nods to the woman and strolls to the door. Before leaving she turns back. A little secret for you melody, make sure you tell nobody.
Her ears flick as she grins. I’m much younger than you think I am~ She purrs teasingly.
no subject
Date: 2023-01-26 04:04 pm (UTC)*her smile is replaced by a gape of surprise at the final reveal. could some of that inhuman speed have been from youth? with no others of her species to compare her to, there was no way she could know. she smiles again, bested.*
you truly are an enigma.
no subject
Date: 2023-01-26 05:14 pm (UTC)She put a finger to her lips. Remember, don’t tell anyone~ She says teasingly.
Her tone is light but her body gives a different message. As if to say “Tell anyone and bad things may happen.”
She smiled happily, giving a slight bow before leaving.
