Practice By The Sea (Open)

Hachiro was sitting on a rock not far from the ocean that separated Lunapa from the rest of the islands. A cool breeze swept across the ocean, and caused the trees that covered Lunapa to shift slightly. The rustle of leaves was quite peaceful, and was one of the few sounds that could be heard in the area Hachiro was sitting. However, there always were those blasted seagulls, Finding Nemo was to blame for his hatred of seagulls. All he could hear coming out of their beaks was "Mine! Mine! Mine". The rest of the move was fine though, just that one part! The man would shake his head before picking up his pick and getting ready to play.

The bar owner requested that he try to learn a popular song that left a mark across all generations. He had heard it, and decided that he would go ahead and learn it. Heck, his boss requested that he should try to learn a majority songs from this artist. He heard why, they definitely had some talent. The wanderer considered trying to sing the lyrics, but his voice was not nearly as strong as his instrumental strength. He played a few tuning notes to adjust his pitch to make sure he was in tune. Unlike, the band he didn't have any sound shells to project his sound throughout a theater, but he didn't need it. All he needed was a little practice, he would get it eventually. He heard it enough times and looked up additional details about the tempo, key, and anything regarding accidentals to be sure. After all this was part of his job, so he had to have it ready in the next couple days.

Across the breeze of the ocean would come the sound of the banjo being plays wildly as a man dressed in absurd clothing danced about the small sailboat as it sailed to the shore, the man saying something about "Lucky Times", as his voice danced across the wind as the man balanced on the sides of his boats on his absurd looking Geta that seemed to be coned to long points, making him stand a full five to six inches higher in the air thanks to the shoes themselves. The man himself had a pair of Thailand fishman's pants, lacked a shirt , so the look of sweat covered him as he sailed towards the beach, his eyes glimmering with excitement as he drifted onward to the majestic and lovely looking sands.

Covering his shoulders was a green cloak draped on his shoulders, and around his neck was the rope that tied to a large hat with a conical shape , and extra wide brim, the hat itself made of straw. He was after all a happy man with odd tastes. In addition, he got a new wig! Today he was wearing a long black french braided wig, the hair stopping at his mid back, and he had to say, he should probably wear hair like this more often!

As he danced about his boat, playing his banjo with high vigor and singing nonsensical words about freedom and the taste of life, before his boat promptly crashed to the shore, which despite the fact he seemed like he lost balance, he flipped forward onto the shore, and landed feet first before continuing to dance, his height with the shoes evident now to show him off as a man standing almost seven feet tall with his hat down and his shoes on, if he wore the hat he would certainly be almost eight feet tall.

This motley man seems to just keep moving on past as his voice echoed deep into the air as he boldly sang about his time in Louisiana, speaking of his times earning money through both music and fight. His happiness was evident as he danced about the sand.

Hachiro stopped his playing as he began to hear a dissonance and someone singing. This person was out of key, and...a little out of tune. Needless to say when he looked up he was in for quite a surprise. The sight he was very unique to say the least. There was a tall man, with a green cape, and a hat that had a cone shape jutting out of the top of it. He was playing the banjo and singing nonsense....what on earth....well the better question was who on earth? He had heard of crazy tourists, but this man took that to a whole new level. Where did he come from? Hachiro found that difficult to tell given the fact his appearance suggested several different locations. The man's boat ran ashore, and he lurched forward, Hachiro could have sworn that the man was going to fall flat on his face, but the man managed to land on his feet. The bartender cocked an eyebrow at this odd man before him.

The man sang about freedom and Louisana, was he American? At last, Hachiro would speak up, "Excuse me sir? Are you new around these parts perchance or are you simply lost?" Normally, the guitar player would let the man carry out his daily business, but it was hard not to be a little curious in regards to his appearance. Hachrio thought he had seen it all, but this was something to write home about, heck the guy could run his own circus show. Maybe he was here to challenge Cuore for her position as the big star of "The Big Top". He seemed crazy enough to do it, Hachiro had seen enough shows to know some of the stunts that the green haired circus idol performed.
