((I'll try xD))
Rei thought that over. 'Hmm... I can't remember... can I use a staff?' She watched with intrigue as the baton grew and lengthened. 'Wow... that could be useful' As she absentmindedly reached for the staff, she stopped and pulled back, looking at Rhyme with a smile.
"May I?" Rei asked politely. Maybe if she could hold it and, I don't know, swing it around a bit, she would be able to figure out whether or not she's used one before.

“Sure, go right ahead.” he said, tossing her his staff lightly.
Rhyme then began to pick up most of the stuff on the ground, making room for them to spar in. He didn’t want to get any of them hurt from falling on something, or getting something broken from being ‘fallen’ on.
((Sorry, kinda short, didn’t have much to go on))

((I know, my fault xD))
Rei caught the staff and held it with one hand- her left- right in the center, getting a vague idea of it's weight and balance. 'Wow... it's actually not as heavy as I thought' Smiling, she dropped her hand away suddenly and fluidly hit one end of the staff with her leg, causing it to spin. She caught it in the middle and used both hands to twirl it faster. Rei experimented with multiple things; bring it behind her back, throwing it into the air, whirling it over and under her leg, anything she thought she could do without hurting Rhyme or herself... or dropping it. It almost could be described as some form of exotic dance...
'It's odd how... I know things that I didn't know I knew...' Utterly focused, Rei's eyes were constantly locked onto the spinning staff she seemed in complete control of. Grinning, Rei tossed it into the air once more before catching it and halting its continuous swirl. Breathing slightly heavier than before, she smiled brightly at Rhyme. "Well... I guess I can use a staff."

“Great, now we just need to find another one, since I don’t think we can train with just one staff.”
Pushing his eyebrows together he looked up at the trees. Then, he gestured with his left hand and two kunai rose from the ground toward a decent sized branch. With a few quick hand motions the branch fell to the ground, almost smooth, and completely removed of bark and other smaller branches.
“Check the balance of it.” he said, tossing her the branch, expecting his own staff back.

Nodding in response, Rei gently tossed Rhyme his own staff back while simultaneously catching the new one. As before, she found its point of balance with one hand. 'It's slightly more weighted on one end, but nothing significantly drastic' Doing a simply, slow twirl with it, Rei nodded to Rhyme once again. "It's good." Testingly, Rei held the 'staff' on both ends and placed the middle against her knee; she pulled and grinned. Not even a splinter. "Wow, it's really good." she said through light, airy chuckles.
Playfully, Rei put one end- the slightly heavier one, on the palm of her hand and began to balance it, stepping forward, back, or sideways when necessary. Smiling, with her gazed locked up-wards onto the make-shift weapon, Rei said "Ready when you are." Staffs were great fun.

“Good.” he said, jumping back some distance as he caught his staff. “Just let the music take you, if you do that, we can get a warm up, and you can feel like it is to be truly ‘in’ a Songspell. As long as you let the music guild you, and you it, then we will not be hurt. Too bad nobody can watch this though, it would look really cool.” ((Hey Red, just enjoy yourself here, this is meant to be fun, you can control either character since they have to match up, they aren’t trying to hurt each other. You should look up “I Constantly Thank God for Esteban” also, on Youtube or something, to hear the pace and idea of the song)) “Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction, Forgive our sins Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons Because I am a new wave gospel sharp, and you'll be thy witness So gentlemen, if you are going to preach, For God sakes preach with conviction!”
Rhyme grinned at Rei when the song began. Strike up the band! Woah-ho! the conductor is beckoning Come congregation,let's sing it like you mean it No. Don't you get it don't you get it? Now don't you Move. [/center] At that Rhyme and Rei ran at each other with musical energy trailing. When their staffs collided there was a large circle of yellow energy the expanded outward, before they flew apart, both landing on their feet in the branches above. ((Just a request, let me have the post then it hits “Douse the lights!” I got a cool idea for that ^^))

((Yay! *listens to song*)) Smiling, Rei did just as instructed, which wasn't too hard because it had basically almost been happening accidentally all those other times... Soon the music had her and she just did as her mind willed her to do. The song continued and both... 'dancers', shall we say, leaped from their tree and dashed for each other. Strike up the band! Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move. At the last moment, the dancers flipped- Rei forward, Rhyme backward- and their staffs met each other in mid swing. Pink and blue((>>...teehee)) sparks spat out from the point of collision and Rei pressed onto Rhyme's staff for lift to finish her flip, landing behind Rhyme.

Just stay where I can see you. Both Rhyme and Rei spun at the same time, colliding their staffs together again with blue sparks. Then, they quickly flipped backwards, landing a bit off the ground, suspended in the air. “Douse the lights!!!!” With Rhyme calling out the lines, all the light in the area went out, leaving only two spot lights on Rhyme and Rei on the opposites sides of the clearing. With that they continued to fight, with the spot light on them. We sure are in for a show tonight. “In this little number we are graced by two displays of character, We've got: the gunslinger extraordinarie, a walking contradiction; And I for one can see no blood From the hearts and the wrists you allegedly slit And I for one wont stand for this If the scene were a parish you'd all be condemned.” [/i] Rhyme and Rei walked around the circle, keeping their eyes on each other, their eyes locked as Rhyme sang and walked, Rei always on the other side of him. ((Sorry, couldn’t figure out what to do for slow part of song. Fatal weakness of Rhyme’s songspells))

((This song is cool O.o...)) Strike up the band! [/i] Simultaneously- of course- Rhyme and Rei back-flipped, the magical spotlight following them perfectly, and both landed on a tree branch Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move. Strike up the band! [/i] The dancers through their staffs toward each other and sparks streamed through the air, raining down into the darkness. The weapons were caught, the two spun on their branches, and flung them back to each staff's rightful owner. Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you, don't you move. [/i] Once again, the pair descended and ran for each other. But this time, instead of flipping, each of them twirled, stopping short when the staffs collided and pressed against each other. For a moment, the dancers stayed in that position- mid twirl and weapons clashing- before pulling back and jumping away from one another. ((If you want, you can finish the song and do the finale ^^))

“Just stay where I can see you, Douse the lights!” As Rhyme sang, another set of spot lights came down on then, giving them more light. We sure are in for a show tonight! “Just stay where I can see you, Douse the lights!” They ran at each other again, and as they did a third set of lights came down on them, giving them a lot of magical light. We sure are in for a show tonight! [/center] With that they collided, more pink and blue sparks going off, spreading colored light with the magical lights. Stay where I can see you, Douse the lights! [/center] With a small shockwave of yellow energy laced with blue and pink they flew back, skidding to a stop, leaving a trail in the ground as a forth set of lights came down, pretty much bring all the light back to the magically dark area of the forest. La da ta ta la da ta ta la da ta ta.... [/center] From this distance Rhyme and Rei threw blue and pink orbs of energy at each other in time with the beat, each colliding with the others, creating yellow sparks that faded when they hit the ground. Strike up the band! Woah-ho! the conductor is beckoning Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it. No. Don't you get it don't you get it? Now don't you move... [/center] Rhyme and Rei then gave a quick snap of their fingers, creating 4 more of each of them, just like a boy band. With that they flashes out of sight before colliding in the center again. All the spot lights were on a copy, but none on the real, and when they bashed their staffs together sparks would illuminate their fight, before disappearing again into the small amount of darkness left. Then suddenly they froze once more, before all the copies returning to one, as well as the spot lights disappearing, and the darkness fading away, bringing back the forest. Strike up the band! Woah-ho! the conductor is beckoning Come congregation,let's sing it like you mean it. No. Don't you get it don't you get it? Now don't you move... [/center] Both threw their staffs in the air, and began to fight hand to hand, the other easily blocking the attackers, before the roles were reversed and repeated. The fighting was fast paced, and hard to keep track of. Don't you move... [/center] In the middle of the fighting, they froze yet again, and remained that way. Don't you move! Strike up the Band! [/center] With a loud ‘bang’ of random band sounds, the song ended, and both fell to the ground in exhaustion, both with a blush of happiness upon their cheeks. “Wow...” was all Rhyme could say. (Sorry if this is hard to read, kinda hard to judge spacing and get the work to match with the song.)

((Woo!! Great show xD))
When the song ended, Rei felt herself return from the Songspell and the grass was pleasantly cool beneath her. Laughing and completely out of breath, Rei echoed Rhyme quietly. "Wow..." The arms she had been leaning back on gave out, causing Rei to fall completely onto the ground. She stared at the sky for a moment before closing her eyes, a wistful grin plastered on her face. Before her eyelids, the shows replayed and continued. Lights flashed and music resounded in her mind.
As her breath slowly resumed its normal pace, Rei opened her eyes slightly and tilted her head to look over at Rhyme. "That was... amazing." And she laughed once more before her eyes closed again, waiting for her body to stabilize itself. She hummed the song quietly as the lights and music faded, signaling she would be able to stand soon. But she didn't want to stand; the grass was comfortable against her back.
Sighing, Rei propped herself up on her elbows and simply smiled at her 'dance partner'.

((If you really want to hear the actual kick-ass guitarists, search The Trooper on Youtube))
From beyond where Rei and Rhyme sat, figures emerged from the trees. Most of the figures were small, there were 5 shadows in total, although, one of them was much taller than the others. Brandon came into view, with an electric guitar strapped to himself, and an amplifier being supported by a platform of cardboard and a portable electric generator supplying power. Also there was a drum kit with a goblin with much silverware surrounding on the same cardboard platform, along with another goblin with an electric guitar, mostly for rhythms, and said guitar hooked up to another electric generator. The loud roar of an Iron Maiden song beginning consumed the forest, as well as almost deafening the performers, thank God for ear plugs.
You'll take my life but Ill take yours too You'll fire you musket but Ill run you through So when your waiting for the next attack You'd better stand theres no turning back
The bugle sounds as the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As you plunge into a certain death
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We wont live to fight another day
The goblin with the rhythm guitar stayed where he was, as Brandon moved forward to the imaginary crowd, giving a guitar solo that would shock anyone who knew him, despite the fact that he could sing this song extremely well, he actually knew the guitar notes to it. It was a shame that he could really only sing this well for Iron Maiden.
We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan
Brandon finished up the song, panting and sweating after doing so much work so quickly. "SEE?! I can actually sing pretty well Rhyme! You're not the only one!" he yelled to the couple after their dance and his song was through. The House Goblins behind him stopped playing and were beginning to slightly sweat.

Rei's placid state of mind was shattered by painfully loud, broken sounds. She sat bolt upright and clamped her hands in a white knuckle grip over her ears, closing her eyes tightly; she was now in an upright fetal position. The fact that her senses were slightly keener than average made the loud, indistinguishable noise- music, possibly- very painful for her. Small quivers ran through her body because of how tense she had become so suddenly. One of Rei's eyes cracked open to see what was happening and where that sound was coming from. 'Who... is... that?' Even her thoughts were disoriented.
A small, near-inaudible whimper escaped Rei very briefly and she threw a glance over to Rhyme. And then, like a gift from the heavens, the 'music' ceased, leaving behind only a slight headache and a ringing sound in Rei's ears. Breathing a little heavier than usual, Rei removed her hands from the sides of her head and opened her eyes to stare at Brandon. 'Sing pretty well?... He called that singing?... Even so, he's certainly wrong about one thing; that music... that sound cannot compare to Rhyme's'

Rhyme cringed when the music began, his music super sensitive from the Songspell he and Rei were part of. He shut his eyes tight as he tried to block out the sound. When it quit, he sighed happily and looked over at Rei, who seemed to have gone through the same thing.
Then, he got an idea on what they could do against Brandon, and it would give Rei a different look at his powers, and how the work with others.
“Hey Rei...would you have called this a perfect day...before...he showed up?” he asked, having a song in mind.

Rei's hard stare went from Brandon and became a softer, puzzled look as it landed on Rhyme. She thought the question over and smiled a little. "Yes, I would have." She wasn't sure true and utter perfection really existed, but this day was certainly the closest she's ever felt to it. Her curious look shot a short look at Brandon before going back to Rhyme. Rei knew he had something 'up his sleeve', shall we say, but she wasn't quite sure what it would be. But, she did know one thing.
Boredom was a long, long way away.
