Magic and music (Gabe)

Takeru was playing his music that night, seemingly alone with nobody but himself...
And his persona, of course.
"My, that certainly puts a new meaning in the phrase of "Me,myself, and I"" Twelve snarked.
"Shut up. I want to try and focus here. Mozart's Requiem is not easy to play, even for me." Takeru said.
Takeru kept playing anyway, focus as solemn as a funeral service for somebody. He did not cease until it was over...
... and then he said something, again, purely out of sheer habit.
"Any requests?" He asked.

Gabe has a tendency of ending up places without actually knowing the reason why he was there in the first place. It almost seemed to be a little bit of a gimmick, but he was a wanderer at best anyway. "Phew... now what..." Gabe would say to himself as he ran his fingers through his hair. " Though, he ended up bumping into someone by accident. "Oh, i'm sorry about that, i wasn't necessarily looking at where i was going."Gabe quickly apologised to the lad and offered him a hand. "Are you alright?"

"Why yes. I am." Takeru said,getting up to his feet.
"My name is Takeru Kagemaru. Who are you?" He said.
"My. See? I told you. We've been bumping into people more and more lately. Hey! I should tell that robotic clown we met that one!" Twelve remarked.
"Quiet, you." Takeru snapped.

"Oh, introductions of the bat. You can call me Gabe..." Gabe would say to the strange man as he put his hands in his pocket. Though, he wast too sure what to make of the man talking to himself. "Mr. Takeru, are you feeling well? I didnt say anything..." Gabe would say when he was told to be quiet. This man basically told gabe to be quiet...how rude. "Did i insult you or something? "

"Hm? No, no. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Takeru said.
"Ah... I know. Since you're here... why don't I play you something on the piano? Any requests? If you're going to ask for a symphony, though, please pick a particular movement for the sake of convenience. OR, if you desire, I shall play the whole thing." Takeru asked him.

Something on the piano? I know a song that i might like for you to play for me. " Gabe would say briefly as he went through his phone, looking for the piano song that he was so fond of. "Ah, oh well i can't necessarily think of it right now. But, how about something uplifting and cheerful if you can manage that, i would really appreciate it. "Gabe would say as he reached into his pocket. "How much does it cost for you to play a song?

"Nothing. I don't charge for people I ask for recommendations." Takeru said, smiling as he got back on the piano. This wasn't necessarily true, but Takeru in this case decided to make it so.
He began to play once again, this time deciding on Bethoven's Ode to Joy, playing it with all due fervor and passion, playing it spectacularily. Once he was done, he once again turned to gabe.
"How was that?" He asked him.

Gabe would put the money away and nod his head as well. "i only asked because i am a performer as well. It's not much about the money for me as well, but id like to believe that it's more about the aspect of the donation. A small donation to show off skills, i would like to thin that people enjoy being acknowledged for their talents, commodity is a good way to showcase that." Gabe was only stating his opinion about it as he watched the young lad play. "Wow..." Gabe would say as he started to clap for the man. "Amazing, this is some high-level stuff, i could tell that you must really love playing the piano. How long were you doing this for?

"Thank you. Let's see.. if my memory holds... 8 years now." He said, accepting the praise graciously. "But my piano teacher died some time ago from cancer..." He said, a look of sorrow briefly crossing his face, before turning back to normal. "You said you were also a performer... what do you do? Do you play the piano as well?" Takeru asked him.

"No...." Gabe would say as he flicked his wrist, revealing a card. It was the king of hearts. "nothing of the sort like your talents, i utilize cards. So in a sense, you can call me a magician of some sort if you will. "Gabe said to him with a smile. "I'm sorry about your teacher, but he must be happy in heaven..look at the fine young man you turned out to be. That's alot to be proud of, i'm sure of it. Legacy, history, and mementos, thats the lasting forms of immortality i know of. His skills and teachings lives through you, thats something you should always remember. " Gabe said this solemnly, hoping the guy would understand where he was going with this.

"Her. It was a woman... and why do you think I still play? I do it to honor her memory... and to keep myself in shape." He said. "So... you're a magician with cards, eh? Interesting... tell me. Do you know how to work with tarot cards, or am I asking for a fortune teller again?" he said, sort of in a joking manner.

"No...nothing as fantastic.... that would require someone who knows much about the arcana and what not. I don't dabble in that at all, but maybe i can still tell your fortune if you are interested?" Gabe would say as he took out his deck of cards and shuffled. "Pick the top card, and that'll be your fortune for the day. It's the best i can do.... since you played for me and all/. "In gabe's mind, he was returning the favor.

"Alright. I will. Personally, i do dabble myself in tarot, I know quite a bit. Fun fact: Did you know that the typical 52 card deck is actually a derivation of the minor arcana in tarot? The full, true tarot deck has about... 72 cards, in all." He said as he picked up a card.

Random number (1,52) :: 52

"Here we are. This is my card." He said, pulling the top card off the deck.

"Oh.... royalty...interesting..the king of clubs..." Gabe would say as he looked at the card. "Though, no, i didn't know that, its actually a nice piece of trivia. Nowadays, people use these cards for a gambling purpose. Or just to play a game, or even for tricks. Tricks is more my thing... but i like all three things, it's fun to me. " Now, for the fortune. "The King of clubs..Dark-haired, kind-hearted man; or a man with Fire predominating in his chart. A generous and spirited man. Hmmm..... almost makes you wonder what it all actually means, yes?" Gabe would say as he put the card away. "For such a man to appear in your life for an unknown reason. Or who knows, maybe yoou are that man."

"Thank you." He said, and listened to what Gabe said it meant. "Huh. I have a better theory, though." He said, smiling.
"I believe that man... is you." he said, bowing his head slightly as he pointed his finger at game briefly.
"The cards don't lie, now do they? Well, unless you cut the deck of course. But even then..." Takeru said to him.
