If Rey had been here, she would have been absolutely appropriate for the piano section of the song Noboru chose to entertain the entire school with tonight. And, of course, the lyrics had to be adjusted to be appropriate for Rokugan lest nearly every clan find offense in it somehow but in the end, the young Dragon let out a soulful song ring from his guitar even if his still relatively untrained voice and natural shyness prohibited him from matching the original artist's feeling. Tonight, he wanted to give everyone, regardless of their decision on the fate of the Empire, something to believe in. |

Rodrigo was wandering the courtyard at night, whistling and appearing carefree. He was. He didn't much care which way the school decided to go on the dream. He'd already made up his mind; he wanted to wake Goemon. He didn't know much about the cosmology of Rokugan, but 'don't fuck around with the heavens' seemed like a pretty universal concept. Besides, it might be fun to go back and live it all over again; to see how things might play out differently.
He heard the music and stopped whistling, his interest piqued. He walked over, and saw it was Noburo who was playing. His initial reaction was revulsion, but that was quick to pass. If they both might not exist soon, what was the point of getting into an argument? Instead he took a seat on the ground and grinned.
"Hey, man. Keep playing, it's a good song."

Noboru looked down from the top of the boy's dorm and noticed Rodrigo. There was a brief irritation based on some other events that had happened during the school year and yet... did any of it really matter? Especially in light of what was learned the previous night, did anything really matter right now? So the Dragon nodded as he heard Rodrigo yell up to keep playing. The song he chose, again, would have been better with Mirumoto Rey-sensei present to play the piano part and yet he did the best he could to imitate the instrument until the guitar began to overtake the melody. Don't want to wait 'til tomorrow
Why put it off another day
One more walk through problems
Built up, and stand in our way, ah
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, don't dream about yesterday, hey
C'mon turn, turn this thing around
Right now, hey
It's your tomorrow
Right now,
C'mon, it's everything
Right now,
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm
And nothing falls into place, no
Only missed by a fraction
Slipped a little off your pace, oh
The more things you get, the more you want
Just trade in one for the other
Workin' so hard, to make it easier, whoa
Got to turn, c'mon turn this thing around
Right now, hey
It's your tomorrow
Right now
C'mon, it's everything
Right now
Catch that magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
It's enlightened me, right now
What are you waitin' for
Oh, yeah, right now
Right now, hey
It's your tomorrow
Right now
C'mon, it's everything
Right now
Catch that magic moment, and do it right, right now
Oh, Right now
It's what's happening?
Right here and now
Right now
It's right now
Oh,
Tell me, what are you waiting for
Turn this thing around |

Once the song was over, Rodrigo clapped and cheered. He may have been the only one in the crowd, but he made it count as best he could.
"Bravo! Another!"

Noboru smirked a little, but then an idea hit him. He had plenty of other songs to use but he was curious, "Any requests?"

Rodrigo shrugged.
"I dunno much about music. You do you, man."

Noboru nods a moment then considers something he figures will make Rodrigo likely dance. That or the Merenae student will get offended and consider it racist. Etiher way, the reaction should be interesting. Noboru lays out a smooth latin beat. Just a shame there weren't any ladies present for the young man to enjoy it with. Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason, the step in my groove
And if you say this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
It's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of loving that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm from your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round
And if you say this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
It's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of loving that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
It's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of loving that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Oh, let's don't forget about it
(Gimme your heart, make it real)
Let's don't forget about it (hey)
Let's don't forget about it (no oh no oh)
Let's don't forget about it (no no no oh)
Let's don't forget about it (hey no no oh)
Let's don't forget about it (hey hey hey) |

Oh hey, Rodrigo knew this one! It was one he enjoyed dancing to, even. So far from being offended, he began to dance. He finally got to show off his dancing chops, putting his heart and soul into a dance that, while foreign, was no less beautiful. Once it was done, he looked up at Noboru, grinning and breathing heavily. "Well, that was fun! Shame there was nobody else here to see it, eh?" |

At that applause came from behind Rodrigo! A small crowd of mainly nameless, faceless students had come out to the commotion, most initially wanting Noboru to stop at this late of an hour but then the dance song played and they couldn't help but pour out into the quad between the dorms and sing and dance along with the Merenae! The Dragon grinned down and nodded to Rodrigo, hoping his partner-in-crime could keep up with the idea he had. The Mirumoto suddenly strummed his guitar like the chiming of a clock! Howls came out from the students at the song older than all of them but familiar to anyone whose heard it even once! The guitar part was pretty easy, at least until it got to the solo. It starts out simple enough, but then goes into some fairly quick riffs! As it gets toward the end and the pitch gets higher and the solo faster, one could almost swear they could see smoke coming from the instrument and the amplifier! Then the familiar refrain comes back in and he leaves the rest of it all up to the Dancin' Gaijin! |

Rodrigo whirled around to look at the crowd that had formed, incorporating the move into his dancing. As the music continued to play, he would occasionally pull anyone willing from the crowd into a dance as well before switching partners. It seemed that Noboru and Rodrigo had an impromptu party on their hands.
The fact the world might be ending probably contributed to everyone loosening up a bit. Rodrigo certainly didn't mind; it just meant he had more dance partners.
