4th song ; video

[madamemoiselle]

[After practicing her new-found leveled up power, Diva has refined parts of it so that it's not quite so revealing. And since many of her fellow housemates have been showing off their singing prowess, Diva, of course, has to show them up.

The camera is at a wide angle, so that there's a full view, and she curtsies deeply to the camera before straightening. And she begins to sing. Opera aficionados will recognize it immediately as "Un bel dì vedremo" from Madama Butterfly, but after a few moments, Freyr's gift adds to the performance. Though she was wearing European clothes a moment ago, the illusion her song creates makes it seem as if she's now wearing a kimono to go with the scene, and adds the orchestration that would otherwise be missing. She acts out the scene as well, and though the song is in Italian, the story of longing and love is very evident. Diva is quite talented, after all!

But after that final, long, powerful note, where her arms are spread wide, the illusion fades, and her hands drop slowly as she becomes "Diva" again, rather than Butterfly.]

That's singing. [She says it haughtily, but surprisingly, that's all she has to say in the "being rude"-department. So she just runs a hand through her hair, smiling brilliantly for the camera.]

Hey, but if you liked that, you should come see the full opera. I'll be performing Madama Butterfly, and it's even free!

[She smiles sweetly, even tilting her head as a "cute" gesture]

So you really don't have any reason to not come, right?

[Oh, did that have a slightly threatening tone in it? Oops, how did that get there...]

[occulthymns]

[There's only one way she can respond to this....]

People are recording cows dying now? How tasteless.

[madamemoiselle]

[yeah whatever euri, she knows she's awesome]

Oh, I didn't know you could see the future, Euri! I'm surprised, though. How did you know that I was planning on broadcasting your death?

[video]

[loveandevil]

Wow, your voice really is pretty, Diva...!

[The freak is back.]

When are you performing...?

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[Brightly,] Thank you! Singing is what I really love, so I'm glad that people enjoy it.

Ah, but I'll be performing in exactly a week, actually! 7 PM at Draupnir. [She nods] I'll only be performing once, though, so don't miss it!

( video )

[windwalker]

[ Applauds!! It doesn't help that she has big eyes that only show how entirely mystified she if by the performance and everything that was pretty about it. It was like being dazzled by a twipire except not from twilight and the sparkles aren't coming from Diva's skin. ]

That was really good! So... you say the full opera is free?

video; HAHAHAHA twipire

[madamemoiselle]

Thank you! [She curtsies in response to the applause, taking it very graciously, of course]

And yes, it is. There will only be once performance, though, since it is free. Ah, well that and I couldn't quite get all of the people I really needed, since it's not like there are other classically trained people here... But the faceless people do a good job!

[ Chane's actually genuinely surprised. Her Father was quite the fan of opera, but he was always off on his own, entrenched in his research and very important business, that she hadn't the time to do much else other than dabble in what she could to strengthen her connection and understanding of him.

The song sounds quite... romantic? It makes her heart skip a beat, at least, as her thoughts turn from her Father to Claire. Which softens her mood into a calm, dreamlike state, as she recalls some of his first words to her.

And so when Diva is done, she's going to be quiet and was about to go about her day, but she notices that she got a bit of negative feedback. Which perplexes her, because that had been timeless, to her. ]

That was a very nice performance. When will you be playing?

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[Enthusiastically,] A week from now! It'll be at 7 PM, at Draupnir, naturally. Have you ever been? The theater is really beautiful!

[hotshit]

[Oh, wow! Claire's gotta admit, that's some top-notch singing. Claire isn't all that imaginative or deep, so he watches the scene set out for him and processes it in a literal sense. No deepness here.]

Ah, and here I had been under the impression only fat ladies could sing like that.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[Goddamnit 8( she can't stop herself from laughing.]

[madamemoiselle]

[She frowns, but she's not offended, at least... LMAO]

Well, that's just a stereotype, you know? A lot of them are, but it's just about having a bigger body frame. If you have a bigger frame, then you can put more power into notes... Of course, that's just generally speaking! Someone good [like me] doesn't have to worry about that.

[thismustbelove]

Yes, that is singing. Were you expecting something else to come out?

[madamemoiselle]

[THE BIGGEST EYEROLL EVER]

Oh, you're so clever, really. [huffs] I was just showing these amateurs a real singer.

[ Voice ]

[uglyinside]

[ Have some clapping. ]

Beautiful, Diva. Would you mind if I brought some children? I can promise you they'd stay quiet, and quite well-behaved.

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[Diva bows her head at the compliment, smiling graciously, though it's much more genuine for him.]

Oh, no, not at all. If you think they'd enjoy it, then I'd like that a lot! [Her smile gets a little softer, almost nostalgic] Do you think I could meet them, actually?

video;

[sebasher]

[It's not the singing that makes Sebastian scowl in displeasure. Honestly, the singing is quite lovely. Lovely enough that it earns a very short, almost polite round of applause. But then he remembers that he dislikes opera for one sole, fairly offensive reason: it's Italian.]

Quite the contrary, miss. As passable as that may have been, I have every reason not to come.

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[She would be immediately rude and huffy, but with the applause, his scowl just confuses her. And "passable?" She is much more than passable, thank you.]

Ah, that's too bad... Can I ask why, though?

video;

[onceknighted]

[EXCUSE HIM while he just internally fanboys over in his corner of the library for the duration of the song. it's been a long time since he's heard that voice sing - properly sing, not just some recording for testing purposes - and it's clear through the uncharacteristic enthusiasm alone that it's put him in a good mood.]

That was wonderful. You'll have a full house, without a doubt.

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[And she's enthusiastic in turn, though that's just as much because she got to sing for people as anything else. It's not quite as hard to put Diva in a good mood as her Chevalier.]

Thank you, Carl! I really hope that you're right too. Ah, but even if just a few certain people come, I'd be happy.

[re: Johan... But she doesn't even ask if he's going, because she knows the answer. Of course he is, he doesn't have a choice.]

[video]

[trinitylimit]

Whoa, that was really good! So we can come see you?

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[She bows her head with a brilliant smile as a response to the compliment]

You can! I'll be preforming in a week at Draupnir, 7 PM!

[oxbridgethegap]

[Polite applause greets her once she's finished.]

Very well done. Would I be correct in guessing this a more powerful form of the Bardic Influence ability?

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[She bows her head lightly in thanks with a soft smile]

You would be! I just found out about it a few days ago. It can make people see pretty detailed things, actually, but I've learned how to control it better so that it doesn't.

[a nod, since she's proud of this, ok] It's really lovely, though.

voice.

[bloodyperky]

Ah, so that's what the Bardic Influence is capable of.

[ interesting. he wonders if eyes is capable of something like that. illusionary magics put him on edge (just like any other kind of magic, really), but on the other hand, the more they know about this sort of magic, the better prepared they'd be against it. ]

So, you were a singer back in your own world, too?

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[Coolly,] Something like that, I guess! I didn't really do it as a job or anything, even though I was on a tour before I came here.

[She waves her hand dismissively] I sing because I like it.

video;

[congenial]

How very lovely!

I confess I've never heard of this Madama Butterfly, but I would very much like to hear more of it.

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[She bows her head with a smile to accept the compliment]

Then I'd be glad to see you in the audience! I'll be performing it in a week, at the Draupnir Theater at 7 PM. [Sweetly,] One night only, though!

[video]

[corks]

[Jacob smiles- almost proudly, even, as if he's a father watching his daughter perform on the stage in a theater production.]

Very beautiful. I'll be expecting the entire performance will be twice that.

[And a pause.] The way you changed the world around you...that's the power the gods gave to you, isn't it?

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[She sees that almost-pride in his smile and she grins, because she's really quite happy to see it. Diva will probably have to pause to consider why later, but for now, she's just happy.]

It is! I was really worried, because I wasn't sure how I was going to put on a good performance, but luckily my power got stronger. [She puts a hand delicately on her chest] So it's at least possible now.

[video]

[suppressthedark]

[Oh...Oh wow. That was beautiful, and he has to blink a bit after she stops, since hey her kimono is gone and where did the orchestra go?]

...You're really good.

[WOAH A COMPLIMENT]

When's the show?

[Maaaaaybe he could go. Sneak in the back and pretend like it's boring even though he'd be watching and listening.]

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[She smiles brightly, bowing her head in response to the compliment]

Thank you! It'll be in a week, Draupnir Theater, 7 PM! Pretty easy to remember, right?

[consults]

[to be honest, he is quite unimpressed throughout the whole thing. It's not Diva's fault at all, but more of Sherlock's own disinterest in the sort of thing.

When she's done, Sherlock just gives her the same neutral look, and doesn't even bother to clap. He eyes her for a bit, before turning his attention away from the video feed]

Hmm...[he really looks like he's pondering this, even if he's not.] Boring.

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[wow, rude!!]

[Diva is immediately huffy, making a displeased noise. Because really! Her singing is anything but boring, thank you]

Boring?! It's not boring. You just have no taste!

[acquamarina]

[There's no way she could have forgotten the first time she heard Diva sang, so to hear her now even better or really just more enhanced gotta love level ups is almost mind-boggling.]

Oh wow... I didn't think it was possible for you to sing even better than before, but this was beyond amazing! I'll definitely go to see you at your performance!

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[Yes, flattery is good! Because half of the people have been so rude, jeez! Uncultured swine.]

Oh, thank you! [Diva nods, flashing a lovely smile] I'd really love to see you there! That was just one aria, and even it's my favorite one, it doesn't compare to the whole performance. The story is really good too.

[video]

[onlyserves]

[At first, there will only be the sound of applause coming from the device because Soushi wanted the lovely performer to feel even more appreciated about her talented performance before showing himself to her.]

Brava! You've given a most magnificent performance, young miss. A performance worthy of being compared to the late Tamaki Miura-sama. She sang the very same piece in Japan during the early 1900's.

[So much smiling and sparkling over here.]

video;

[madamemoiselle]

[And she'll bow to the applause graciously, with a gracious stage smile to match]

Oh, thank you! I've heard of Miss Miura, so I'm really honored. [She'll even bow her head, though she's a bit inwardly amused. It was only out of a bit of fate that she missed seeing one of her performances.] She made a wonderful Cio-Cio San, I heard!

video; SORRY THIS IS SO LATE

[hypertoxic]

[ ... this face. ]

I guess I can come. I mean, I have some time to kill!

video; it's okay <333

[madamemoiselle]

[She claps her hands together with a pleased smile]

Oh, yay, I'm glad! You'll definitely have to sit in the front row, Vriska! I'll save a seat for you, alright?
