The Beach, Friday Evening

A new Friday, a new change of scenery. Tamsin had hoped for somewhere else that stocked booze, but thankfully, she'd had the foresight of getting a whole bunch of it from the Restaurant before they moved this morning.

It was Friday evening, and Mobius's sun hung low in the sky, but it was warm, and there were birds chirping as they flew past Fandom's dome. Perfect atmosphere or whatever. There were large, glittery umbrellas dotting the sand for effect, a bunch of chairs and tables arranged just a few feet away from the sandy parts of the beach, and a few grills were cooking away meat and veggies for the incoming guests.

Fandom beach party. This would definitely end well.

Hannibal spread his hands. "Whichever you like. Although I imagine guitar and piano are easier to find music for than guitar and theremin." Unless you were Led Zeppelin.

//Unless we covered Led Zeppelin,// Jono said, cheerfully agreeing with the narrative.

Because... honestly.

Honestly. This was the guy who made a deal with the devil, almost literally, while in the process of buying a Led Zep album from a cursed thrift shop.

"Without a drummer?" Hannibal answered.

...what?

Hannibal chuckled. "If you find somebody, let me know. Otherwise, maybe piano."

//Maybe piano,// Jono agreed, scuffing one toe into the sand.

At least he was only sulking a little bit?

Hannibal petted Jono's hair. "I might be persuaded to compose something for guitar and theremin. But I would have to be properly motivated."

//A showcase where we'd both be onstage isn't proper motivation?//

His puppy eyes, Hannibal. Jono knew you were more or less immune, but that wasn't going to stop him from using them.

... In fairness, they were probably more effective without the fire anyway.

They were equally effective with or without the fire, for Hannibal. Which was to say, not much, though he wasn't entirely immune. They told him it was something Jono very much wanted, and he had a vested interest in a happy Jono.

"But we could be onstage if I played piano," Hannibal pointed out.

//I don't see any reason why we can't have a theremin onstage, either,// Jono replied, stubbornly. Because he was a brat that way.

"We can," Hannibal said. "If you can find the music for it. But if you want me to write it, you'll have to offer incentive." He had faith in Jono's imagination.

//I'll let you pick what I wear onstage,// Jono offered, thoughtfully. //How's that?//

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] sharp_as_knives 2016-05-28 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
And he would also be supplying the music... Hannibal considered it.

"That, and you have to sit for a sketch of my choosing."

//Deal,// Jono replied, with a decisive nod. Because... hell, he had yet to sit through one of Hannibal's art sessions (of a decidedly non-murdery persuasion) that wasn't extremely satisfying.

And Hannibal knew better than to do an art session of the murdery persuasion around Jono.

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] sharp_as_knives 2016-05-28 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
But Jono had enjoyed his more murderous art as well, hadn't he?

Though Hannibal had something else in mind this time.

"Then I shall write something. Guitar and theremin." They didn't necessarily go together smoothly, but he could think of something, he was certain.

Well, context was important, maybe...

//I look forward to hearing what you come up with,// Jono replied, smiling and leaning to bump his shoulder against Hannibal. //Both musically and... is there a word like musically for sketching in particular?//

Sketchily? That sounded iffy.
sharp_as_knives: (smirk)

Re: Arrive/Mingle!

[personal profile] sharp_as_knives 2016-05-28 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
It sounded sketchy, really.

"Artistically?" Hannibal suggested. He smirked, even as he nudged Jono back with his knee. "You'll have to wait and see."

//Music is artistic, too,// Jono mumbled, wrinkling his nose. //Either way, I suppose I can be patient for it.//

"Since I haven't even begun writing yet, you'll have to be," Hannibal said with a chuckle.
