The Roof; Tuesday Afternoon.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad was feeling lazy and music, not enough on the first part to be against climbing up the stiars to the roof and enough of the second part to bring his guitar with him. He got himself comfortable in a spot a good distance away from the edge and started playing out something with a Spanish lilt to it, that he felt matched the cloudy weather without seeming too dreary. He thought about maybe going to visit Ted at work while he played, but then that first part kicked in. Maybe later.

After her visit to the clinic that is still being played out and her little visit with Mr. Phale, that is still being played out Annette wandered up to the roof. The day was cloudy but the air was still a good temperature and it just felt good to be outdoors today.

She saw Chad first then heard his music. Walking towards the ledge, she climbed up it and sat with her knees drawn in to her chest, listening to him quietly.

Chad glanced up when he sensed someone else on the roof with him now, spotting Annette, and watched her quietly move toward the ledge through a curtain of hair; he didn't let it interupt his playing, though, continuing to strum along as he was. Eventually, he dropped his eyes back to the strings. He tried to think that he didn't alter the playing at all now that she was there, but that would be a lie. He did try a little harder to make it nice to listen to.

...and it was very nice to listen too. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes and just listened. It was nice. Quiet. And oddly moving.

Chad was always a big appriciator of nice, quiet moments like this. But, eventually, the song ended...an end, of sorts, for a song, of sorts, because he had been making it up as he went along and a song like that oculd go on forever, but where the moment and the music took him had him feeling like it had an end, and that was it, a low long note that faded slowly into silence. His hand rested on the guitar as if to hold it still and he looked up thoughtfully as he tried to think of what should be played next.

When it ended, she still didn't open her eyes. She liked hearing just the noise of outside. Of birds. Okay, the music was better even though she didn't know what he was playing, although she did think she heard a little Spanish in the tone.

Really though, she shouldn't have chosen the ledge to sit on and close her eyes. Annette could fall asleep really easy like this.

After another moment, Chad started up another tune, still along the same vibe of the previous one, but this one was softer; it delicatedly played with a balance of swiftly moving repetitions of chords, separated by drifting drags of notes. It was the sort of song that reminded him of cool nights in Mexico when you could see all the stars perfectly.

It was beautiful and Annette found herself so caught up in it that she was seeing lovely pictures behind her eyes that took her far away from Fandom.

She sighed in contentment and slouched a little, completely comfortable.

"Having fun?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad lifted his chin in greeting without lifting his eyes or ceasing his playing. "Yup."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Whatcha playin'? And is it a solo piece only?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Just whatever," Chad answered the first part and then responded to the second. "Never. Join on in, if ya want."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Cool, one second."

Pip disappeared down the stairs and came up with his own guitar. He began to play with the tuning.

"So, I had an idea for guitar class."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Chad asked, paying close attention to how Pip was joining in, to alter perhaps slightly so that what they were churning out was a combination of what was natural for obht of them.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Jam session. With everyone."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad considered this for a moment over a few strands of music.

"That...would be incredible."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nodded. "Yeah. I thought so. Think El will go for it?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad nodded. "Oh, yeah. Can't really see him turning down collaboration like that. S'too awesome."

Chad also acknowledged the fact that ic ould also become a total trainwreck, too, but that didn't support his thesis very well, so he simply kept quiet on that part.
