Practicing (open to anyone)

[Roseline Marie Cecil]

Roseline entered the huge, yet beautiful auditorium. She loved coming here when it was empty and practice.
Her music would flow under every small crack in every wall. It would feel her up with happiness and joy.
She smiled and walked in, the elegant piano was in the familiar corner. She hurried and sat down,t taking out her music.
Her fingers trailed over the keys slowly and a feeling of power came over her.
This was something she could do well and she was proud of it....and then....and then the music began to flow. Everything seemed more bright, everything seemed better and greater. Her eyes were closed and her thoughts were dancing in the beautiful sound.
Yet suddenly, it ended when she heard footsteps. She slowed down and came to an abrupt stop.

It was late at night, but that didn't stop the Latina from singing and coming out to the auditorium to play the many instruments that lived there. She was wearing just a simple Spurs shirt and some tight jeans, but her swift, fluid movements muffled the sound of her 3" stilletto heels against the tiled halls. She was making her way to the spacious room to use the microphones and sing, something she absolutely loved to do. Suddenly, she didn't care who heard and started to sing her favorite Casting Crowns song:

The love of her life is drifting away
They're losing the fight for another day
The life that she's known is falling apart
A fatherless home, a child's broken heart

You're holding her hand, you're straining for words
You trying to make - sense of it all
She's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her view
She's looking to you

Just love her like Jesus, carry her to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves her and stay by her side
Love her like Jesus
Love her like Jesus

The gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blue
Little blessing from Heaven would be there soon
Hope fades in the night, blue skies turn to gray
As the little one slips away

You're holding her hand, you're straining for words
You're trying to make sense of it all
They're desperate for hope, darkness clouding their view
They're looking to you

Just love them like Jesus, carry them to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus

Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands
The God of all the nations holds our lives in His hands
The Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His hands
He cares for them just as He cares for you

So love them like Jesus, love them like Jesus
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus
Love them like Je-

Goodness, she had lost count of how many times she was praised for her voice. It was melodic and sounded professional, like she had voice lessons. However, she did not; her voice was inherited from her mother, Evelynne. When only a few doors from the auditorium, she immediately stopped her singing and listened to the piano's beautiful tones enter and completely consume her heart, like wildfire. She stood outside the door, eyes closed and head titled towards the ceiling. That's when it stopped. The notes halted and that's when Phaedra timidly stepped inside, solidly shocked to see a gorgeous red-head staring at her. With a kind smile, her pleasant vocals released, That was absolutely, positively beautiful... Beethoven, right?

[Star Williams]

Star had hoped that the auditorium would be empty, she needed to practice for a concert she had in a few days. But as she got closer to the great room she heard someone playing the piano. She recognized the song. And soon her footsteps fell in rhythm with it. She did a few twirls as she closed her eyes. It made her think of home, when her father used to play the piano to her. Balancing her papers on one arm she used the other to push open the heavy side door leading to backstage. As she neared the stage the music stopped and she heard a voice speaking. Star stepped out onto the stage and turned to the girl who had been playing, Yes, it was beautiful. she hadn't meant to surprise the girls, but she realized that she had. Umm.. sorry if I startled you! I had just thought that I might be able to get some practice in. Star said, gesturing to the music sheets she was holding. I'm Star by the way!

this is god-modding. neither Lyra or Roseline stated they were surprised.

you don't have to modify your post, but be sure to avoid god-modding again ;]

thanks.

[Star Williams]

oops sorry didn't mean to!

[Roseline Marie Cecil]

Roseline looked up and smiled politely at the girl who had just entered the room. She heard her beautiful voice as well, even though it was far away, she indeed had a good ear, and could not keep her excitement in; it was beautiful...so much talent in one person.
"Yes, it was Beethoven and thank you," she announced, the smile not leaving her lips. "I am Roseline Marie Cecil, but call me Rosely if you may. My name always gets comments about being to long. She got up and walked over tot he girl, extending her hand and nodding her head. "It's nice meeting you!"
Just then, a younger girl entered the huge, yet dark auditorium. SRosely looked at ehr in surprise, yet refelcted Phaedra's kind smile and went over to greet the new girl.
"It's nice meeting you Star," she added once again and introduced ehrself properly, before looking at both girls, a bit of happiness shining in her light eyes; it was great meeting new friends.

[//:Phaedra:\\]

Phaedra flashed her pleasant smile and met the other's hand. Her chiming was heard again as she stated with a passion most didn't hear nowadays. Why, Roseline! That's a very beautiful name! No, I don't think it's too long at all. In fact, I think if you say it all, it describes you perfectly. Like living poetry... She inhaled as if she was trying to smell the floetry. She furtively took her finger and delicately laced her fingers through the flame red tassels of she.

That when another girl came in, younger than both of them. She was short and delicate enough to look like a Freshman, so that's what Phaedra took her for. She bowed low, being her usual humorous self and let her Southern accent flow like there'd be no tomorrow. It was also mixed with some Spanish emphasis as well. Heller ther! Meh name would be Phaedra. Phaedra Summerfield. And I know that's a mouthful, so just call me Phae! Then, she burst into giggles, her laughter twinkling.

[Star Williams]

Star was surprised by the girls thick accent, she had one of her own but not as thick. Nice to meet ya'll! Star said, adding her own southern accent. She missed Nashville, but she loved it here. Star skipped over to were the girls were in stuck her hand out, still balancing her papers on one arm. I guess we all had the same idea, some practicing in a usually empty auditorium. Well that's what I thought anyways. Do you think that it's big enough in here for all of us? Star said smiling. The auditorium is huge, and she didn't mind sharing. But the only she had to be careful of was not to make the girls suspicious about her songs.

[Roseline Marie Cecil]

Rosely shared a smile and laughed a bit, "Of course we can share it. I don't mind at all!" she added and looked around, " I can even accompany both of you!" Her eeys twinkled in excitement. She heard Phaedra's voice and knew it was amazing, ti would be an honor for her to play the piano as the girl would be singing.
Although she was curious of Star's youthful voice as well, she seemed so innocent and nice, she bet that all of them together would sound great! She sat back down on the piano bench and awaited their response.

[//:Phaedra:\\]

What do you want to start singing? Phaedra's eyes looked big and held the stars as she held her breath, she was certainly happy. She gazed at both Star and Roseline. She loved to hear Roseline play the piano and she'd feel most high with honor at singing with her delightful new friend. Then, she looked at Star. She'd never heard the younger girl sing.

Star, you're voice sounds lovely, I'd love to sing with you! As for you, Roseline, I would be so honored to sing while you play! Phaedra gave a little squeal of excitement before she hopped on stage, waiting to take a que from Roseline.

[Roseline Marie Cecil]

"Great," Roselie nodded her head and smiled and elegant smile, before putting her delicate fingers on the olden keys and as beautiful notes gave birth to an amazing new song.
Its beat was truly fast and she hoped that Phaedra could keep up. She slowed down a bit and continued playing, awaiting for the girls to join in.

[Star Williams]

I'm ready when you are! Star said hopping on stage with Phaedra. She put her papers down on the stage infront of her. She listened to the beat and started slightly patting her hand against her leg in beat. She didn't recognize the song right away so she walked over to the piano and read the music over Roselie's shoulder.

((sorry it's short! and what song is it gonna be?))

[Roseline Marie Cecil]

((OCC: I honestly don't know, any ideas?))

Rosely smiled and closed her eyes as the soft beat ringed in her ear. She was improvising as she went, but liked the voices of both girls. Together they were truly amazing, just as she thought.
She titled her head to the right a bit, as her frail and delicate fingers kept touching the keys lightly, making a beautiful song as they progressed.
She did not want to even whisper as not to ruin the perfect song. It still needed a bit of work on it, but perfection was truly close. She gave a low chuckle as she kept playing, music pouring out of her.

[//:Phaedra:\\]

Something like fire sparked and licked at Phae's soul as she suddenly burst into song, knowing it fit just fine with the tune. This was purely made up and it came straight from the heart.

I don't know how, but when he looked my way,
I saw it all, from day to day.
I'll never understand the reason why you wanted me.
Am I good enough, am I what you want me to be?
When I close my eyes, you're all I ever see...
So, am I really what you want?
When you close yours, am I what you see?

Then, the spark disappeared momentarily as she looked around, wary of the others' opinions. A red flush entered her cheeks. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get carried away like that... She looked down at her feet, which were shuffling with embarrassment.

[Roseline Marie Cecil]

Rosely stopped playing as she heard Phaedra's voice fade away. A smile reappeared on her lips ad she smiled happily, joy filling her voice.
"That was wonderful," she reassured as she started giggling from excitement. She loved talent, and there was a lot of it right in this room. "Amazing even, I think your song was heard even from the Heavens above," she added, her eyes twinkling in the dim light of the auditorium.
