Apartment Log [OPEN TO ALL]

[stringmods]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: APARTMENTS CAN'T YOU READ THE TITLE PIECES AND LIBRA
Summary: Massive Open Apartment Log (October 3rd - 9th)
Warnings: Rooms and stuff!

[OOC - Open Apartment Log! Talk to your neighbors, make new CR, get hit on get hit on.

You can find the master list of apartments [RIGHT HERE!]

Starting this week, the apartments also now have TELEPORTERS! These allow you to go from one apartment facility to the other.

They can be found in LEVEL 4 and are big enough to accommodate everyone (but maximum 5 at a time). However, due to the fact that they are still in the testing phase, you may find yourself appearing in the wrong part of the 4th level in the other building -- and that does include above the swimming pool. Hope you like water! (Thankfully this doesn't happen most of the time...most of the time.)

Start your thread with your character's name and their room number. You can always add what they might be doing, or just leave it open for other people to come in. Others then reply to them with the date that they come in and let the CR begin. Fun times are had by all!]

[ He's not complaining, and miles away from being offended. He hasn't really acquainted the Arisato name with being a doormat. Still holds true, apparently.]

Listen to music?

[ He shrugs. He certainly doesn't dislike music. He's not sure he could walk around with earphones clipped around his ears 24/7, because being alert to the world around you was important, but— ]

So long as it isn't any of that screaming metal shit.

this took me a while to get back to you on because I've been waffling over the music choice

[fools_journey]

Hm.

[ He's pretty sure he doesn't have any of that 'shit' loaded onto his player, so there's no risk of that, but he still looks down at it, skipping through tracks until he finds the one he's looking for. But he hesitates about handing his headphones over to Shinjiro. He trusts Shinjiro to be careful with them, but it's just... he's not sure if it's clear what that trust means.

Even if they're talking about music and quietness, Minato's still been in the process of assessing Shinjiro. He hasn't missed the signs of his sister's attraction to Shinjiro or the mutual nature of that attraction, subtle as they have been. Extending his trust as far as something as important as music goes is in some ways like saying he trusts Shinjiro with other important things, like his sister. Not that his sister and his headphones are remotely on the same level, of course, but it's... a parallel.

And he wants Shinjiro to know that, even if he's not going to outright say it.

So after that moment, he unloops his headphones from around his neck and holds them out. ]

... you might like this track. It's... soothing.

[ It's not rap or metal or anything with voices, actually. It's a melancholy orchestral piece by an English composer based on an older hymn. It's rather different from what Minato usually listens to on a day-to-day basis, but rap and jpop are only a part of his musical interests. His interest in the violin and participation in school orchestras has also exposed him to a wide range of more classical pieces. And sometimes, during those rare times when he can't sleep or simply wants to lose himself in a melody with no distracting words, things like this are perfect. ]

[ He may not grasp the full meaning behind Minato's actions, not yet—he'll understand more in a few days, once Minato takes an unexpected trip into the pool—but he can sense some of it. He can read between the lines, eyes scratching the surface of the normally invisible. He's never seen Minato around without his mp3 player within the reach of his hands, with his headphones looped around his neck or ears. He had figured it was important, somehow, even if this assumption is only based on his own way of living, in that you keep what's most important to you close, like Shinjiro does his pocketwatch.

So he'll treat Minato's headphones with care, just like he would with his sister, even though both are far more durable than some people would (perhaps) give credit for. Shinjiro's movements are rough and unrefined, he wasn't designed for elegance, but he knows how to be careful.

He loops the headphones around his ears, listening to the music work its way through the speakers, a bit surprised at the choice. He hadn't expected something instrumental. Not that he knows whether it's something classical, or a track from some movie, but... he doesn't mind it. He could listen to this in the background, even though he might be too embarrassed to do it in public. The song doesn't demand attention so much as it encourages contemplation. ]

It's fine.

[ Which is as close as he can get to saying he likes it on some level—or at the very least, that it isn't something he dislikes. ]

What is it?

[fools_journey]

It's called Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Talis, and it's written by an English composer called Ralph Vaughn Williams.

[ He's glad Shinjiro doesn't completely dislike it, at any rate. ]

A few years ago, the school orchestra went to a concert where the local symphonic orchestra played it. I liked it. ... I always thought it would be nice to play...
