[Closed]
Who: Strings (rollstoseduce), Wind (forsaintcecilia), Percussion (zukeini) and a pile of instruments.
Where: Kazuki's inn at Azalea.
When: May 12th.
Summary: Jam session!
Rating: PG-13 for Jaskier's dirty mouth.
[Jaskier is in a pretty good mood by the time his party makes it to Azalea. Sure, prom ended in disaster and if Jaskier ever sees a Rocket again he won't hesitate to drop Perish Song on their asses, he didn't win the contest and the Sevii vacation is over... but Kiri's birthday party was a success, winning gym battles has been pretty good for his ego, the actual stay at R&S' mansion before tragedy struck had been delightful, his horse is now bringing him money which has allowed him to buy a new instrument and, most importantly, he's in a relationship with the love of his life - keeping it a secret could be torturous at times, but by the gods, the end result of this prank will be so worth it.
Indeed, Jaskier is feeling rather giddy and incredibly inspired. So when he remembers who lives in the town he's currently visiting, how could he let the opportunity to add another great thing to the list pass? For months now he's been wanting to jam with his new musician friends and now the chance is finally here! After sending Zuke a quick message to check if he's in the area (luckily he is!), Jaskier quickly tells Geralt and Kiri he'll be gone for a few hours before making his way to Kazuki's inn with Dahlia the Wigglytuff by his side, his ukulele on his back and his tote bag hanging on his shoulder.
The Silver Horn is a very cozy place, Jaskier notices, and he makes a mental note to send a donation later before ringing the front desk bell.]
Hello~~? [He says with a hand around his mouth - and Dahlia says hi in her own language as well, her little paws imitating her trainer.] Kazuki? It's Jaskier! I hope I haven't come at a bad time!

That would be when he got the message from Jaskier.
Finally, they were in town together! And oh, and Kazuki?
--
The trio, whatever they were doing was met with a chill Zuke with his entourage of Nadia and Terbangan and his drum set. Coming right behind Jaskier, he made a soft wave.]
Yo.

It's good to see you! Oh, we just got here this morning, but so far I can say Azalea has been nothing but kind. A quaint little town that shall be explored soon! But I remembered you live here, and we've been discussing the chance to play together for months now, so I couldn't wait to visit! I also sent a message to--
[Speaking of the devil! Jaskier beams and nods in response to the wave as Dahlia goes to introduce herself to Nadia and Terbangan.]
Zuke! Wonderful, everyone is here now. [He claps his hands together as he looks from one friend to the other while he speaks.] The opportunity to bring our beats together has finally come! If your afternoon is free, my friends, I'd love nothing more than-- what is the term again? Jam? Jamming! Jamming together with you. And mayhap get some advice as well! I've bought a new instrument- [He pats his tote bag.] -and the both of you are more familiar with these "machines" than I am.
no subject
Oh-- Hi, Zuke! Wow, the gang's all here! [Kazuki is a the-more-the-merrier type, Jaskier could have come in with a whole troupe and he'd still be down for it.] It's great to see you guys again!
Yeah, jam is the right word! What'd'you got in there? [He turns his head curiously at the bag, it's not a shape he recognizes.] If you all want, I've got a soundproof room with a piano down the hall. We could check it out there!
[Just because he's running an inn doesn't mean he can't be a musician too! He teaches local kids out of that room. It's kind of his favorite place.]
no subject
[He knew Kazuki was a musician and was personally dying to hear him play, and looking at Jaskier, he was all stoked too. So that meant finding the digs, as he was new around here.
Come to think, did Kazuki mentioned he ran an inn? Does that mean that, hrm. Well, later. He'll ask later. Right now, he was curious about the bag and this room.]
It'll be okay to use it? I know it's yours, but I figure inns need to rent that out, right?
no subject
[And Jaskier, being the touchy person that he is, reaches out to his friends to drag them towards the hall Kazuki mentioned, arm in arm with Jaskier in the middle. He's been excited about the idea of a jamming session since the seed of the idea was planted all those months ago, but he's getting even more excited now that Kazuki said the magic words: soundproof room and piano. Jaskier has been wanting to try those out for a while.]
What I've got in here, you ask? A perfectly timed question to come after mentioning your piano! You see, my friends, I've acquired a roll-up keyboard. I know what you're thinking, and you're correct, it's not as good as the real thing. But I'm still travelling, and it's been an excellent companion on the road! I've found it to be a very useful tool for a beginner to practice on.
[Well, he's technically not a beginner musician, but getting his hands used to piano positions is definitely very new for him!]
no subject
[Some might find Jaskier irritating, but Kazuki totally fed off of his manic energy. This was exactly the kind of vibe he wanted to have all the time-- super excited and happy to be doing something you really love! And he didn't mind the handsy-ness either, he could be the same way himself sometimes. ]
A roll-out keyboard? I've never seen one of those before! [He didn't even know they existed, but it sounded like something that would be easy enough to make in a modern world.] It probably can't match the feel of a real piano, but you're right, that's awesome for practicing on the go!
no subject
[Zuke smiled as he was led by Jaskier. Someone else here was all into the mood Jaskier gave off. Charismatic and fun, lively and passionate. He ran into a few of those in college, and it was like he had a piece of his brother and band mate all in one package. Zuke was a pushover, but a calm and friendly one, so it went well like peanut butter and jelly.
But he was interested in the music. Being a Masters in Fine Arts and Music, he's seen many innovative instruments.]
Hey, I saw one of those. Those tend to be good for more contemporary things but if you know how yours works, you can get some real good sound.
no subject
[Don't take him wrong, it's quite quaint and all, and he enjoys visiting it, but it wouldn't be the kind of lifestyle he'd choose to live in.
(That is, until Geralt convinces him to get a ranch together, but they aren't anywhere near that yet. And it'll still be near the city. Jaskier has standards. No, really!)
His roll-up keyboard gets approval from both parties, which makes Jaskier very happy (and perhaps a little smug).]
The feel of a real piano! Some real good sound! See, my friends, this is why you'll be invaluable he--
[It's at that moment that they open the door to the music room, so Jaskier interrupts his own chatting to gasp. After untangling his arms from his friends' he rushes inside, walking in circles as he takes it all in. The piano is gently touched with calloused fingertips and even Dahlia approaches it, her paw playfully pressing a couple of keys as she giggles at the sound.]
Oh, Kazuki! This is astounding! And you teach the children in here, correct? Oh, how I wish Oxenfurt knew about this material, it would make lectures so much easier! [His hand rests on the wall, as if it could tell him all his secrets, and he suddenly grins, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he looks at the inn owner.] I bet it's incredibly useful when it comes to having privacy as well, is it not?
[He winks - yes, he's implying exactly what you think he's implying. You don't always need a bed, no matter what Geralt says.]
no subject
Goldenrod is really close tho', so I can go get that fix whenever I want.
[It's really fun to watch Jaskier's reaction to the piano. If he'd never been up close and personal with one either, he'd probably be just as entranced.]
[The "privacy" thing totally flies over his head at first.]
Oh yeah, I mean, the trumpet is really loud, and I don't want to disturb the guests when I want to... practice...
[Jaskier's double entendre then hits Kazuki, and he starts to fidget and blush.]
I-- I wouldn't-- I mean, there's no-one...!
no subject
[He didn't mind the objections. His bandmate was a wild ball of fire, after all. He knew many people who lived for the thrill of the city. Zuke loved learning about history and technology, but resting his head required being able to hear his own thoughts. And listening to the quaint sounds of woods and wind in the trees...
Kazuki shown his people and he could feel the soothing sounds in his head, like he could picture what it would sound like. He adored the sound and was about to let Jaskier speak first before he landed a few compliments.]
Wow, Kazuki...that's a beautiful piece..
[-And that was when Jaskier went THERE. And he halted.]
no subject
But Jaskier's currently distracted by his friends' reaction to his little teasing - interesting. It seems he's going to have some fun today, and not only of the musical kind. With his head tilted, a grin and a hand on his waist, he leaves Dahlia at the piano and approaches Zuke and Kazuki, ready to strike.]
No one, you say? Ah, but that red face says something else! Don't you agree, Zuke? [A rhetorical question - he doesn't expect Zuke to reply, he's just looking for an opening. He raises his free hand and snaps his fingers in front of the drummer's face.] Oi, Zuke. Are you in there, mate?
no subject
[He wouldn't want to either. When he finally gets to enjoy a romantic relationship, everyone's gonna know about it.]
no subject
He...wasn't sure how to answer this question.
Time to just rationally deflect like a mature person trying to avoid a possible uncomfortable situation.]
A-anyway, I just got a new drum set! My Pokemon and I are really forming a band so we have to make sure our gear is functional!
[He shuffled into his duffle bag, hoping something would suck him in secretly.]
