Rhyme and Rei's Test

[±Witchcraft±]

((Baha? Does the hundred posts count from here or from Ancient?))

Rhyme walked down the forest path, somewhat slowly waiting for Rei. As he did he strummed a happy tune to himself on a blue glowing see through guitar. It was a bit warmer then usual for the time, so instead of wearing his heavy leather jacket Rhyme chose to wear a nice red hoodie He still wore his traditonal ripped jeans and elemental shoes though.

“I wonder what is keeping Rei so long.” he said to himself as he turned and began to walk backwards.

Further down along the path, accidentally letting her mind get lost in the scenery, Rei idled along. Because of where she was headed, her outfit had been slightly modified from her usual one. Her shirt was very similar, except this one had webbing covering her stomach, and she had black leggings with strengthened cloth at the bottom for makeshift shoes. Her left arm seemed to shine silvery in the light because of her Serpent Scales.

'Let's see...I have my Shadow Orb, Sunglasses, Uindo, and my Amulet of Fire and Water, and the Shamisen Elandil gave me...' Rei readjusted the instrument on her back before she spotted Rhyme in the distance. She grinned instantly and ran to meet up with him "Rhyme!" At his side a moment later, she smiled at him, eyes bright with excitement. "I can't wait to get started."

“Rei!” he said when he saw her in the distance, waving his one hand as the guitar playing stopped. “Glad your finally here ^^.”

Rhyme gave his one arm a quick gentle shaking, making sure he had everything. His kunai, his sunset charm was around his neck under his hoodie, and his baton was also in his sleeves. Luckly though, Sam wasn’t coming, he got her to explore the ground with Alina and snuck out his dorm room leaving a quick note on his mothers door as he left.

“Got any music you want to play while we walk? Heard it was a decent trek to the village.”

Rei looked off to the side for a moment, her grin fading slightly while she thought, and slowly brought her Shamisen around to her front. She really hadn't had a chance to use the instrument yet. Her fingers subconsciously found their way to the strings and a few quiet notes were teased out. "What about..." The smile returned. "...this?" The notes sped up and began to take on a distinctive melody. Of course, the hypnotizing effect shouldn't have really any affect on Rhyme, because that's not what Rei was trying to do. But then again, she rally didn't know much about the instrument yet.

Rei began walking down the path as she played. Eventually her voice found its bearings and she began to sing as well.

Ay, iyaiyai,
Ay, iyaiyai,
A-a-a iyaiyai
Where's my samurai

[±Witchcraft±]

Rhyme grinned and let go of the guitar, it fading back into energy. He then waved his hand in the air in front of him and a quick matrix of energy appeared. There was also small bracelets of energy around his wrists and on his fingers.

He moved his hands quickly over the matrix, playing the rest of the instruments. His one hand moving quickly in the air being the drum beat while the other went over the matrix for the other instruments. He could have just used his MP3 player but he thought this was more fun.

In between the vocal parts, Rei let herself be distracted by Rhyme's little show. As always, she loved to watch. The song picked up speed for the chorus.

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky
Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Where's my samurai
Where's my samurai

[/i]

Rhyme began to walk with an upbeat step, half dancing and walking backwards with the music. His hands continued to move rapidly over the fabric matrix as he got lost in the music he played. Even without the full force of the bard instrument being used, you still wanted to get lost in it. He couldn’t wait to see what Rei could do with it in battle.

((lol If the magic aspect fails, she can always hit someone over the head with it ))

Rei's own pace took on its own dance-like quality; quick steps, the occasional skip, long strides, etc. But she never strayed too far ahead or too far behind Rhyme, the music sounded off when they were too far apart.

I've been searching for a man
All across Japan
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who is strong
But still a little shy
Yes i need, I need my samurai

[/i]

[±Witchcraft±]

Rhyme grinned as he also began to whistle with the song, adding a upper pitch to the song. As he looked around he noticed there seemed to be an oddly large amount of butterflies all around them. (lol)

Since his one arm was starting to get tired he crossed his arms doing a switch, now his one hand was doing the music while the other the beat.

[[red].Raven]

It took a moment for Rei to notice the butterflies, but when she did, her eyes seemed to dart to all of them while she dance-walked. ((new word xD))

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky
Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky

Where's my samurai
Where's my samurai

[/i]

[±Witchcraft±]

Rhyme noticed that as he walked, the trees were getting further and further apart. He bet that they were getting close to the village. The path was also starting to get more worn, the earth packed hard with constant traffic.

I can’t wait to take the test he thought to himself.

He continued to play the rest of the song.

[[red].Raven]

Rei grinned as the end of the song grew nearer.

I've been searching in the woods
And high upon the hills
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who won't regret
To keep me in his net
Yes I need, I need my samurai

Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky
Ay, Ay, Ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue, make the colors in the sky.

[/i]

As it ended, Rei exhaled softy and sent her grin to Rhyme. "That was fun. I take it we're almost there?"

[±Witchcraft±]

“Yea, I think so, it looks like we are getting close to a town.”

He finally turned around as they got close enough to see the first small huts. They walked through the town, getting a few fearful glances, a few open glares, but mostly no looks what so ever. They walked toward a large hut near the back, and entered, taking a seat on a large rug within.

A tall figure with a staff looked towards the students, his look wasn't a judging one, it seemed kind enough, "What might it be that you are doing in my tent?" He asked, tapping his staff on the ground, one eyebrow was raised and he rested on the staff for a few moments, awaiting a response. His dark brown eyes watching the two with the vaguest curiosity, he half wondered where those two guards were that normally stood somewhere outside the tent, normally he'd be informed of visitors such as the two from Twilight Moon who now sat inside his humble home.

Rhyme coughed softly, an odd habit of his since he normally did it to readjust his vocal chords before and after a large vocal change. He held the chiefs gaze unsteadily as he spoke, his voice wavering slightly from nervousness.

“W...e would li..i..ike to become part of your vill...ill...illage sir.”

Rhyme was surprised at how nervous he was. He almost never got this way before. Only in front of his dad, and this man did not have the stern yet unknowing gaze of his father. He couldn't figure out why, he just really wanted out of there.
