Park 2} Vicden and Juliah
Vicden had brought his Violin out to the park and was currently seated criss cross under a tree. He hummed quietly as he took his Violin out and messed with the bow. He was unsure of what he should play as he placed the instrument under his chin. He opted for a simple warm up and started to play.
Juliah sat on a bench nearby, watching him play for a while. After a few minutes, he decided to creep up closer and see what he was playing. Maybe drop some money in his case, if it was out; but still, keeping a shy, respectful distance.[/container]
Vicden had his eyes closed and he was humming along to the music. He didn't notice Juliah he was absorbed in his own world for the time being. The case was in fact open and sad beside him.
~(He dropped all the cash in his wallet into the case, which was admittedly quite a lot. He tried to do it as quietly as possible, as not to startle Vicden. He watched the bow glide across the strings, obviously very impressed every time Vicden did even a simple extension.[/container]
Vicden stopped playing and he opened his eyes. He noticed Juliah and jumped letting out a small noise from his throat. "I- um sorry dot dot" he removed the violen from its position and he saw the money in his case "Oh I'm not playing for, um money"
"oh, um, then." He thought about what excuse to make for a second. "it just fell out of my wallet suddenly oh noooo i guess you have to keep it now because you found it." He grinned at him in the Worlds Dopiest Manner. "how long have you been playing?"[/container]
Vicden blinked and listened to him before chuckling. "doot doot, I guess I can keep it then" He laid the violin and thought for a minuet, "Well I started learning violin around the same time I learned piano so I've been playing since I was about 3 and a half sweeps."
"oh, wow. i wanted to play an instrument since i was just a wriggler. never got the chance, though." He gazed at the violin curiously, looking over every small detail and curve. "the violin and cello were ones i specifically wanted to try out. saw them from a friend."[/container]
"Oh well doot, I'm sure you can learn." He held his bow "it can be hard a first but once you get the hang of it, it can be really really fun" He tightened the horse hair on the bow. "I love it and I write music for it a lot"
"wait, wait, you write music? can i see some? like, do you write it out, or just remember it?" He watched in Amazement as he... literally just tightened his bow, as if that itself was just like playing an entire symphony with One Violin.[/container]
"doot doot well I do write it all down but I also remember a lot of it. I don't have anything on me right now but I could play you something I remember if you'd like?" He tilted his head to the side as he asked.
"Oh please!" He adjusted himself to lay back somewhat, getting Comfy and getting ready to listen. His tail got caught under him, and he almost fell over trying to pick it up because his smooth brain told him to just yank it out from under him. It was quite a sight. He then continued to act like nothing happened.[/container]
Vicden chuckled softly before putting the violin back under his chin. He started to play the strings making a beautiful noise as he played. He shut his eyes and it was clear to tell that he knew what he was doing. after a few minuets he finished off the song and opened his eyes. "doot doot"
After he finished playing, he just sat there for a moment processing what just happened. "so you... wrote all that?" he said, sitting up straight now. "like, all on your own? how old are you now?"[/container]
He smiled "Heh yeah I did, um I'm 18 why?" Vicden set the violin back in his lap and watched Juliah.
"it's just amazing, yknow? you got talent for someone that young. maybe i'll try picking up an instrument sometime if i can."[/container]
"You should, doot!!" He smiled and set his bow on his lap as well, "Also thank you, but playing instruments is so much fun and is can be a very relaxing hobby."
"do you play any others?" he asked, once again adjusting the way he was sitting and crushing his tail. "the guitar seems pretty cool..."[/container]
Vicden chuckled, "Dooootle doot, oh I play a looot of stuff, like cello piano clarinet a bunch of percussion, trumpet, hehe there are a lot" He scratched the back of his neck
He nodded as he listed instruments, then waited a second after he scratched his neck. "was that a nervous scratch? you play something else, huh?" he said, half-joking, with a half-laugh. "you got a double life or something?" He said, laughing for real that time. A weirdly specific question . . .[/container]
Vicden looked at him and his eyes got a little wide before he waved his hadn and let out a laugh "hahah dooot doot what would make you think that! no no I just play at concerts and play a lot of instraments" He hid his nervousness with a smile.
Gotcha. He smiled a signature Vaguely Smug Yet Knowing Smile. "what kind of concerts do you play? it'd be cool to go to one sometime. if you play that well on your own, it'd be cool to see you in your element, you know?"[/container]
"I normally only do solo concerts ha but they classical, sometimes I do piano, sometimes string instruments, I have even played the harp before. Doooo dooo doot. its all classical though. " He smiled again hoping the double life subject was long gone.
Juliah took Note of him mentioning it being classical twice. "so i take it classical is your favorite, then?"[/container]
Vicden nodded, "doot scaaa, mhm it's the only thing I play!" he gave Juliah another big smile. "It's nice and it's realaxing"
"ah? it sounds relaxing. my favorite genre is psychedelic rock, though. you ever heard king gizzard before? a classic. they're doing some sort of microtunal jazz now. it's super rad." He definitely.. talks with his hands.[/container]
Vicden listened curiously and the rock part quite obviously peaked his interest. "I have not heard of them I'll have to see what they sound like skiity bop"
Juliah Definitely noticed, and he smiled that same Signature Juliah Smug Smile. "you like rock, huh? it's okay. your secret's safe with me, fancypants." He said, chuckling a tiny bit, and gesturing to the violin.[/container]
Vicden blushed lime "what- I doot." He leaned against the tree and looked away. Keep your secret better you dunce!
Juliah's smile got wider and his teeth were now Very Obvious. Were they . . . gilded, or just made out of the same stuff his horns are? God, Juliah, you fucking loser. "ah, see? you're blushing now. fancypants got a rock side, yeah? never would've expected it, but it's cool as hell." His face got a bit straighter, and then went back to that same dumb dopey smile he usually has. No brain behind those eyes. "the name's juliah, by the way. i don't think i told you. i don't remember, though."[/container]
He looked back over and rubbed his cheek now flustered. He looked at his teeth with a curious glance but didn't say anything about them. "Well- it's just not something I'm open about I guess, I'm Vicden, Vicden Olstus. stooodle" He held his hand out.
"makes sense. was everyone around you growing up like, richy rich? had highblood friends and all? i get that. they tend to be pretty.. well, you know."[/container]
Vicden nodded, "Um....but you are highblood doooooooot?" he tilted his head to the side and cocked his eyebrow. He's an indigo and indigo's are very high.
He sat there, loading. Highblood? Highblood. Oh. Highblood. Juliah, you're an indigo, remember? You are a highblood. His face barely changed, but it was still noticeably Oh Shit™️. "oh, yeah. sometimes i forget that, you know?"[/container]
Vicden raised his eyebrow higher "Forget your blood color doota bop?" He narrowed his eyes suspisiously.
"well, yeah. i haven't had to think much about it since the merge happened. it's all been more chill, don't you think?" you think about it constantly you green apple fuck[/container]
he pursed his lips, "I don't know I um supposed diitley bob" He grabbed the money out of the case to put his violin back.
He sat there for a minute, then got a bit closer to whisper. "You're lime, right? Like, limeblood?"[/container]
"Huh what doot" Vicden tried to lean away but he was against a tree. "Uhm yes I, I am" He narrowed his eyes.
He stood up and backed up a bit, then considered saying something. It seems like he ultimately decided against it. "...it's my favorite color, you know?"[/container]
Vicden raised an eyebrow and just looked kinda concered. That sounded really weird after just leaning in like that. "Um...doot"
He just.. gave him some finger guns. "faaavorite color. it's a good one. y'all should be treated better." He started walking backwards slowly, being reaaaaal smooth about this. 10/10[/container]
Vicden watched him "are you um feeling okay doot" Vicden put the money he was still holding away. "You seem like you aren't dootlle"
"oh, yeah, uh. just like, a stomachache." He put his hands on his stomach, still walking backwards. "juuuust... yeah, a stomachache."[/container]
Vicden blicked "Oh I'm uh sorry about your stomach then doodle" He leaned back against the tree still watching Juliah
