98 Bottles of beer on the wall

[mira_strauss]

[The video feed clicks on in just a moment, and when it does, everyone is greeted by a smiling young woman seated with a guitar.]

Hello everyone! I'm Mirajane, and I'm here to sing for you the ballad of Erza Scarlet and her perfect strawberry cheesecake, as requested by our guild master Mavis.

[The song that follows goes like this, starting off slow and sweet, but finishing into a resounding rock anthem crescendo, that was perhaps a little over the top for such a simple subject matter.]

Thank you for listening everyone, tune in next time to hear the misadventures of Happy and Natsu! Oh, and please remember to stop by Fairy Haven in Fayren if you're looking to have a drink, and to hear more songs from me, Mirajane!

Mirajane!

[The hat should look familiar, right?]

Does the next one involves fish? A fish tale would be great! Nyayaya!

[mira_strauss]

... Blair?

[She's fairly certain it has to be Blair, because what other cats know her by name here, and would wear that witch hat?]

Well actually it does involve fish! How did you know?! Are you psychic?

[It's not a serious question, and it was probably because it involved Natsu and Happy that she was able to guess it. Then again, it could simply be that Blair was expressing her desire for fish.]

[She smiles happily.]

Are you? You guessed Blair right~ Nya-ha!

[And yay! Blair pressed one paw into her cheek so happily at the thought of fish. Fishy song~]

Fish~

It's amazing how well we know each other that we can guess each other's behavior so well!

That's because Miss Mirajane is fun and predicting, just like Blair.

Does this Erza person really likes cake so much?

[aurabble]

[Jaune listens to her song, literally doing chinhands as he gets absorbed in the song, invested in Erza's quest for the perfect cake.]

Wow, that was beautiful... I'm glad the song had a happy ending! All songs about cake should.

[mira_strauss]

I'm glad you enjoyed the song so much young man! A rapt audience is certainly its own reward.

[Though she has to admit... she hasn't heard too many songs about cake before, so she wouldn't exactly know if all songs about cake should have happy endings. ... Then again, given the unholy terror incarnate Erza could become when someone knocks her cake to the floor, maybe he's right.]

[aurabble]

[Young man...?] You don't-- You don't look that much older than me.

But you should definitely keep writing and singing songs!

[mira_strauss]

Oh you flatterer you, teasing an old maid so.

[Actually Jaun... you're not that far off. Mirajane's 21, she just tends to act like she's the oldest in her guild most of the time because she has two younger siblings. So most of those younger than her she thinks of as children. And most of her icons are from when she was 19.]

Jokes aside, I think I've at least got a couple years on you, and you just have such a boyish face! It's adorable.

[redhairedknight]

...Did you really have to make the first one about me?

[It sounds pretty accurate to her, and she is out buying cake when this comes on, but she's not used to being thrust into the spotlight despite her position in the guild.]

[Video]

[mira_strauss]

I did actually! It was Master Mavis' personal request.

[And look, Mirajane has gotten so savvy with her new techy wonder that she's even able to link stuff!]

See?

[Video]

[redhairedknight]

Well, if that's what the First wants, I guess it's all right. [It still seems weird to hear herself called the Deputy Guild Master, even if she pretty much got the job by default.]

I don't have much of an ear for that sort of thing, but I thought the tune was catchy.

[Video]

[mira_strauss]

Well I'm glad to hear that you at least liked it! I wasn't sure if the details were one hundred percent accurate, but it seemed like something you might do. Maybe I'll write my next song with you in it about our childhood years together. Wouldn't that be nostalgic?

[Mirajane was feeling a bit curious to know how much it would take to get Erza flustered... she was just too mcuh fun to fluster.]

[Video] /threadjacking just because ;)

[fairysoul]

Of course! You totally deserve to have a song just for you, Erza. [And who better than Mirajane to sing it?]

[Rapunzel is just going to be happily clapping on the feed. Looks like she enjoyed it anyway.]

That was beautiful.

video;

[mira_strauss]

[Okay, she can't help but laugh a little at the clapping. Not that she doesn't appreciate the applause, she's just not sure if it's worthy of applause.]

Aww, thank you Rapunzel! You're much too kind! It was just a little something I threw together in the hopes that it might make people happy. I'm glad that it seems to have succeeded in that regard with at least one friend of mine.

[Did she mention that they were friends? Well Mirajane befriends people pretty easily, and the fact that the two of them talked and got along well is enough to make her a friend in Mira's book.]

[ivegotadream]

So am I the only friend who was happy at this, or have you managed to succeed with more?

[She had stopped clapping for the moment, sitting there excitedly, leaning closely toward the device.]

[mira_strauss]

Actually, I've been surprised by the sheer amount of people who did like and listen to my song! I thought for sure it would just be one or two, but I've had five or six people listen in at least, and I think someone even suggested I should make an album!

[Oh no, so cute!]

[melodiouspacifist]

[He applauds with a bit of a whistle.]

I like it. Where is this place?

Video

[mira_strauss]

[Well Mira's blushing just a little bit while she laughs.]

Well thank you! I hadn't thought my song would go over quite so well! Fairy Haven can be found in Fayren! It's kind of on the farthest edge, down a road and over a bridge.

[melodiouspacifist]

Oh, well, maybe I'll find it. It sounds like it would be fun.

[He smiles.]

I like listening to music.

[fairysoul]

[Loud applauds and whistles can be heard behind coming from behind Mirajane. Mavis is sitting on the bar counter.]

That was wonderful, Mirajane!

action

[mira_strauss]

[Mira blinked in surprise, thinking perhaps she'd left her communicator open, when she realized that it was in fact the very commissioner of the piece, Mavis Vermillion! Well... perhaps commissioner wasn't the right word, since it wasn't as if Mirajane was being paid to produce the song, but that was neither her nor there.]

Oh! Master! I didn't see you there!

[She hopped off the stage, ran over to the small woman sitting on the bar top, and sat herself on a bar stool next to her. She was originally going to just throw her arms around Mavis in a hug, since she had said she planned on doing that at some point, but she decided it was best not to jump the gun. She was Fairy Tail's master after all, so she should treat her with a modicum of respect.]

I'm glad you liked my first song for you. I wasn't sure what you'd think, since it's probably not quite what you expected... but then again perhaps it was.

[She had requested on about Erza's love of strawberry cheesecake after all.]

action

[fairysoul]

I told you I'd be here for your first performance! I'm always true to my word.

[Mavis smiled brightly as Mirajane joined her. A hug would have surprised her but she wouldn't have objected to it.]

I expected it to be original, fun and sweet at the same time. [And Mirajane delivered all of that.] You did wonderfully. Thank you!

action

[mira_strauss]

You did, so I should have expected you!

[She's just... from a time when Mavis was gone so it was still something for her to get used to again. The smile that found its way onto Mirajane's face was one that was truly touched.]

Thank you so much Master Mavis! I... I don't know what to say...

[Well... there was one thing, she could think of that she wanted to ask.]

Would you mind if I give you a hug?

[She felt she should ask since she had never actually done so before, but she just seemed so huggable! Like a little sister! ... Even if she was something like 100 years older than her.]
