57 academics just punched the air.

[For the past few days, Jilly had been more than a little...

odd.

She hadn't shown up for her art class. Her sketchbook languished beside her bed, untouched. And when she showed up at work at the coffee shop she was wearing a ridiculous amount of makeup.

Other than a few trips to the music room (and a few surprisingly good vocal warmup sessions), she hadn't done anything too strange.

That is, until now.

She's wearing red tights and a headdress that's almost as big as the rest of her. Expression serious, she strides to the landing and the top of the stairs leading into the lobby, and strikes a dramatic pose.

And then she begins to sing]

♫ I-I'm going to find a happy-

I-I'm going to find a happy-

I-I'm going to find a happy place. ♫

[OOC: Open over the journals or to anyone in the lobby. People watching can simply gawk or, if the castle is feeling particularly cruel, might feel compelled to join in as backup dancers. For an idea of what they might be doing, check out 1:05 and 1:58 in the video.]

[as the song ends she bows, her headdress defying gravity as she does so, before smiling brightly at the Doctor]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

The only art I do is my music.

Crowley, you know this.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

I guess it has been awhile. And I've felt rusty these past few days. It's getting back to normal, though.

[if only you could see her, Doctor.]

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

[pretty sure this is a loss, but hey. Whatevs.]

Practicing for what?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure.

A recital maybe. Or maybe Lorne could use another performer at Caritas. I feel like I should do something, though.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear you're feeling like yourself again - we've certainly had a time of it lately, the both of us.

[if he only KNEW]

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

...At least you'll get plenty of attention.

[really can't help staring at that headdress]

[artsy]

Do you do that a lot?

[lone-defender.livejournal.com]

[It's a monstrosity alright. She doesn't know much about Jilly personally, really. She talked to her occasionally, but much of her time in the castle she's been withdrawn, so technically she couldn't know if this were an odd thing for Jilly...

But she could strongly suspect it.]

[His arms drop down to his sides and he grins wildly at Jilly]

Well that was unexpected.

[lawyerlarry.livejournal.com]

That was....lovely. I didn't know you sang.

[mr-stealthypnts.livejournal.com]

[There is much dorky dancing here. Lots of jazz hands.]

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Edward's been goooooood. Edward was stuck in Edward's computer for a while. How about you?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

We have.

...are you doing alright?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

Really? I could have sworn we'd talked about that before. [they hadn't]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

♫ I-I'm going to find a happy-
I-I'm going to find a happy-
I-I'm going to find a happy place. ♫

[as the song comes to a close, she poses dramatically. Hey roomie]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

You were stuck in your computer? How did that happen?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

Not as much, lately. [read: not at all] I've been feeling out of practice.

But it feels right to get back to it.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

♫ I-I'm going to find a happy-
I-I'm going to find a happy-
I-I'm going to find a happy place. ♫

[as she finishes the song, she pauses as if anticipating applause]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

I didn't know you danced, Doctor. [of course, that's the strangest part of what just happened]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

I guess. [there's a small frown, like that hadn't really occurred to her. She doesn't seem bothered so much as surprised]

It just seems right to do something.

[artsy]

So are you a singer?

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

[First Nanako, now this]

Has everyone been drinking loopy water lately?

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

It's not like you're usually lazing around in the first place.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

I am, actually! Enjoying the bit of downtime I have on my hands before I have to start making the final preparations for the expedition.
