Ball Room

*looks melancholy as she puts the duster away*
*sighs and leans against a wall*
*looks around the room, seemingly remembering something*

*shakes head and pushes off the wall*
*looks down at scars on her arms*
*sighs and walks to the middle of the room*
*imagines a ball happening with people dancing all around her*

*goes back to the storage room and grabs the broom*
*walks to the middle of the room*
*gulps and tries to dance with the broom*
*fails terribly*
*blushes a lot and puts the broom back*

*wonders what happened to Twink and Prince*
*sighs and shrugs*

*Pokes head in from the door and sees the girl dancing with a broom and has a smile on her face*

*blinks as she hears the door open*
*turns to see a girl she's never met before watching her*
*tilts head curiously*

*Eyes widen and she closes the door while squeaking*
Sorry!

*blinks a couple times and striaghtens self out*
It's okay....
*walks over to storage closet and shrugs jacket on*

*Pokes her head back out and she smiles softly*
Okay.
*Walks on in sort of scared*
Um what are you doing in here?

*looks around at the room with streamers in it*
*looks indifferent, but eyes warm into a deep gray*
Remembering better times....

*Nods and looks around with a smile*
I do that sometimes.
*Eyes look around and looks to the girl*
Uh um My name is Yoko Snow Shima. But you can just call me Yoko.
*Eyes sadden while looking down*
...

*nods*
I'm Echosong. It's a pleasure to meet you.
*looks up and towards the door*
Someone needs help, I hear them calling.
*looks to Yoko*
Follow if you wish.
*runs to the prison cells*

*Watches and hugs her arms thinking*
Uh....
*Sighs and walks off thinking*

*walks in slowly*
*spots the piano in the corner of the room*
*smiles weakly and sits down in front of it*
*starts playing*

I wish I had shown this to everyone.....Hitomi and Prince, Gandrake and Twink....
*looks sad as she plays*

*unknowingly plays another song*
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p76cHUYlmpA)
*closes eyes and sings along*
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

*stops singing and playing*
*stares at the piano*
*stands and goes into a corner of the room*
*sits down and curls into a ball*

*puts head on knees*
*closes eyes and thinks*

*Hitomi peeks in* ..Bat-Chan..

*jolts and looks at Hitomi*
Yes...Hitomi-chan?

*walks in*
*has hand on necklace*
*walks over to a corner*
*sits down, forlorn*
I'm so....confused.....

*slaps face*
*eyes are a dull gray*
Snap out of it, you pathetic excuse for an Atama......
*cheek starts to redden*
*bandages on elbow start to loosen, revealing scars from a sword*

*sighs as red on cheek starts to disappear*
*softly sings*

Is it any wonder why I'm scared,
If I was a little younger would I
care,
Feeling like the walls are growing stronger,
I don't know if this cage can hold me any longer

You never dreamed you'd have to love your life so guarded,
Cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded

I'm not afraid of tomorrow,
I'm only scared of myself,
Feels like my insides are on fire, and I'm looking through the eyes of someone else

*closes eyes and lets the song echo around the room*
I never thought they'd want me to go even faster,
Never thought I took my foot off the gas,
Everybody loves to be in on the pressure,
But i know they're all waiting for the crash

You never dreamed you'd have to live your life so guarded,
Cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded,
Things have changed you've become a complication,
Can make it through another days
Humiliation

I'm not afraid of tomorrow,
I only scared of myself,
Feels like my insides are on fire and I'm looking through the eyes of someone else

Someone else....

Is it any wonder why the answer keeps me petrified
Is it any wonder why,
I'm scared......

*lets the last note hang in the air sadly*

*stops singing and the last note only hangs there for a split second before ecgoing*
*curls up and puts head on knees*
