[ the feed is turned on on purpose for once, and Riku's face obscures everything else in the possible shot. he stares at it for a few seconds, adjusting some settings before he pulls away, revealing a saxophone strung over his shoulder and another figure off to the side. ]

It's on.

Hopefully we get it right. [The other figure turns out to be Neku, moving into the shot for a moment and messing with his hair.] ...you're not gonna post this, right?

[ Riku raises his eyebrows at Neku, like he's crazy. ] Yeah, because I'd want this posted. Maybe if I was actually practicing, not goofing off.

Hey, just checking. [You can never be too sure... Neku glances over at him, sticking his hands in his pockets.] You ready to go?

[ he presses a few keys on his saxophone, making sure they're well-oiled and loose. ] Yeah, looks like. [ he places his mouth over the mouthpiece, adjusting his jaw, and then looking to Neku. ]

[Neku closes his eyes for a minute, tapping his hand against his side before starting to sing. By the way, he's holding a stick. A stick he's now singing into. And, oddly enough, he looks like he's actually enjoying himself. Imagine that.]

It’s getting late, and I cannot seem to find my way home, tonight. Feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole, falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone. What would my head be like, if not for my shoulders, or without your smile? May it follow you forever. May it never leave you to sleep in the stone, may we stay lost on our way home?

[ and look at that, as he sings, Riku accompanies with his saxophone. ... he doesn't stay still, either. he starts moving with his saxophone, feeling the music. it's not loud, but it's an upbeat tune, one that would be catchy and something of an earworm.

and when Neku pauses, in singing, he stops, singing acapella. ] C’mon, c’mon, with everything falling down around me; I’d like to believe in all the possibilities. If I should die tonight, may I first just say I’m sorry, for I, never felt like anybody. I am a man of many hats although I never mastered anything. When I am ten feet tall, I’ve never felt much smaller, since the fall. Nobody seems to know my name, so don’t leave me to sleep all alone, may we stay lost on our way home?

[Neku picks up where Riku left off, a somewhat unusual expression on his face. Is he... grinning? He is.]

C’mon, c’mon, with everything falling down around me, I’d like to believe in all the possibilities.

C’mon, c’mon, with everything falling down around me, I’d like to believe in all the possibilities. Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate, it could leave, it could leave, come the morning. Celebrate the night, it’s the fall before the climb; shall we sing, shall we sing, 'til the morning? If I fall forward, you fall flat--

[ and Riku's kept silent vocally otherwise, just really beginning to dane along with the tone of the music, moving his shoulders and ducking his head as he plays the notes. if Riku weren't so focused on the notes he's playing, he'd be grinning too, and--

oh, no, he really is grinning, just like Neku. his mouth leaves the mouthpiece one more time, his voice clear and bright. and with Neku, he sings. ] And if the sun should lift me up, would you come back? C'mon!

[ --wait. he freezes. was that a door slamming shut? ]

[That gets Neku to stop, looking off screen and moving towards what was probably the source of the noise.] Shit--!

Shh! [ Riku quickly pulls his saxophone strap off, going straight towards the PCD and frantically pressing end. What he doesn't know, however, is that he's also pressed Send > All. ]
