Ariel tugs at Salma "Hope you got your churro, show's starting again." And she looks to Ellie "And no scary songs this time. Whew"

"I mean, it was scary but sometimes it is fun to be a little scared?"

"Nothin'. That last song was.... stupid, I mean... what's the point?"

She frowns. "That's not very nice. I mean, maybe it didn't... resonate, but don't call it stupid. That was her heart out there."

"Mmph." Adam shrugs.

"If I played a song like that, would you call it stupid?"

"It wasn't quite my taste, but I can respect the effort and the skill."

"I just didn't like it. I didn't like the way it felt."

"That's legit." She allows, and takes a sip of the drink. Then turns her face up towards him. "Want a taste?" A small grin.

"Oh, yeah....." His frown smoothes and he kisses her.

She kisses him back, glad to see the frown fade away.

"Sometimes" Ariel says "I like a good ghost story"

Nancy says "Elias Hazzard is up"

Salma shakes her head a bit. "Oh, the noisy one is back." Settling in to watch Elias.

"He's fun, though! I want to try his harp, it looks way less boring than a regular one."

"This guy was pretty metal before....." Adam turns to hold Piper and watch.

"What's that kith called? Nock... nocker?"

Elas gathers up Says "This one isn't my usual bells and whistles stuff" He says "Okay, maybe a few pipes" As the piano pipe organ is wheeled close

"I gotta respect that he made his own instrument, too. Yeah, Nocker. They make amazing things, but folk say that everything that they make always has some little flaw."

Indeed... as he presses a key, there's a brief WHISTLE like a boat announcing it departing the docks. "Oops.. hold on" And he adust somethings

Duff gives him a look .. brief, but as if to say to the man, "Don't screw this up"

And Elias plays..gently, softly, and his voice comes out gentle, and in a tone of awe in the song..."I've been watching you
For some time
Can't stop staring
At those oceans eyes
Burning cities
And napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes"

And Duff gazes at Jessica's face as the song begins. His lips moving where others cannot see

Elias's voice continues "No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes"

Salma looks surprised, expecting something raucous and metal again, but enjoys the mellow tones!

Piper leans against Adam, with a small sway, moving to the music.

"I've been walking through a world gone blind
Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind
Careful creature made friends with time
She left him lonely with a diamond mind
And those ocean eyes" Steam does leak out some pipes on the device, but , in this case it looks a bit like sea mist so.. bonus.

The Countess is very carefully expressionless.

Adam sways with Piper.

"No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes" His voice might not be as golden or sikly smooth as Spencer, but it has beauty and passion.

"No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you give me those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes" And the song finishes gently.

Some couples were swaying together during it... and when it ends they applaud extra loud.

Clem says "Okay, that was right pretty."

Piper is one of the extra-loud applauders. Salma claps too - maybe the donkey pooka has a bit of a romantic streak, how embarrassing for the pragmatic girl.

Jessica makes a few notes, nods to Elias.

Jessica might remember that Duff said he'd.. make sure somethings he wanted were planted in the singers. To convey HIS messages.

Elias bows and waves to the crowd, then when he touches his keyboard piano/pipe organ setup.. well, the pipes collapse. He sighs and picks them up with help. "It's modular" he declares

Piper winces at the clatter, but she giggles at his declaration. "See?" She murmurs to Adam.

Nancy grins, then says "And last for Round 2... Neema"

Neema helps with the pipes, as much to clear up her own spot, then takes 'stage'

Adam laughs, his early mood gone.

And she says "this song is NOT from the islands, it is not about the oceans, but it is is good advice" A wink "Becareful Children... you might learn something. It happened to me. I was minding my own business, and then I hear this lovely song... and I soon am tapping away.. and then.. when it was over. I had gotten wiser! how rude no?"

Ellie leans forward, eager to hear.

Ariel nods "Schooling in your songs. Dirty trick"

A few chuckles break out

Salma looks affronted! That should not be allowed!

She sings "Listen as your day unfolds,
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears,
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry"

Neema motions and dances a bit as she sings, using the motion to meet the eyes of this or that person in the audience

"You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day!"

A walk over to Adam, "Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view,
My oh my, heh, hey" She turns to whirl a bit with Piper

Ellie bounces along with the beat.

Only a fraction of a seconds hesitation before she takes Neema's hand and twirls, singing along just for the one line. "Love will save the day!"
