Dream a Little Dream Of Me

Wild Dreams Production - Offices

	 Beyond the security door stretches a hallway with doors off of each side leading to various offices and storage areas. Each door has a name plaque, for offices, or signs, for storage, hanging on it. The walls are a soft pale grey and the doors are all black.
	 At the end of the hall is a set of double doors of black oak with brushed nickel handles. The doors open to a large plush office for the owner of the company. Directly across from the doors is the executive's desk. It is a large oak creation, ornately carved and gleaming with fresh polish. A large pale grey leather chair is behind the desk and two oak chairs are placed in front of the desk, both with pale grey cushioning. The floor is covered with a plush grey carpet and the walls are a dusty green color, soothing and relaxing in color. To the left the wall has several very large windows set in it with beautiful dark grey velvet curtains. In front of the windows sets a lovely black baby grand piano with the lid propped up. To the right can be found a beautiful, plush seating arrangement upholstered in dark blue and silver brocade.

Obvious Exits:
  Lobby <Lo>

Shiori is at the piano when Danny is escorted back to her office. She's playing softly, eyes closed, even though she hears the door open. She does tip her head a little bit, listening, as she hears the door shut again quietly.

	Danny takes a peek around the room. After spying Shiori over by the piano, he'll make his way over in her direction. A hand is raised and a smile offered, by way of greeting. "Hello again."

Shiori smiles a little bit, recognizing perhaps the steps, and definitely the voice. Her eyes remain shut as she plays softly, but she responds, "Hello again." She scoots a little bit without missing a note. It's obviously an invitation to sit on the bench with her.

	Danny doesn't play the piano, but he does enjoy the woman's company. He settles in next to her, dropping deftly onto the bench and taking seat. "Auspicious timing."

Shiori laughs softly and murmurs, "It's often easy to catch me playing the piano, if that's what you mean." She's smiling, and finally she opens her eyes and turns her head to look at Danny, "You look well tonight."

	Danny arches an eyebrow and considers. "Is it? Maybe I've just had horrible timing before now." A smile as his eyes drop to the piano keys and Shiori's fingers for a few moments before his strange silver colored eyes lift back up to hers. "Do I? I feel like I always look ... as I look. But thank you, I appreciate your attention." He leans over and nuzzles Shiori's cheek gently.

Shiori's fingers move with ease over the keys. She's not playing aggressively so the movements are graceful and light. Her eyelids flutter a little when he nuzzles her cheek, and she smiles, turning her gaze back to the piano keys. "You are a handsome man."

	"There are perhaps more handsome, but likely, not as unique," replies Danny with a small, wry smile. "Your projects go well? And remind - did I ever manage to pitch you on a collaboration? Or for guidance and support? I was thinking of bringing chinese opera to the masses here in Prospect."

Shiori glances at Danny again, "You talked a little about me giving advice but we haven't actually got to that yet. My projects are going well. This studio is my biggest project." She finishes playing the piano with a flourish and rests her hands in her lap, looking up again, "I don't know much about Chinese opera, but I'd be willing to give you my thoughts on things when you'd like."

	"Well, the collaboration would be that I know all about chinese opera, but nothing of the local market for performance art, nor much of what needs to happen to facilitate successful productions, etc." Danny gives Shiori his best hopeful look. Its very hopeful!

Shiori laughs softly, and says, "I'll try. Do you have a theatre you plan to use? That would be the first step. See what kind of arrangement you have."

	Danny shakes his head. "I do not, no. I am painfully ill informed of many matters outside of chinatown," says Danny with a rueful smile. "Another area where I would be reliant on your counsel."
Shiori laughs softly, "Well. You need at least an idea where you might put on the performance. You'll need to find a theatre that suits what you invision. There isn't a theatre in Chinatown?"

	"The audience is external to chinatown, I would like it as accessible as possible, and chinatown is largely insular. There's also the matter of venue size." Danny pauses and considers. "Maybe something at the university. Or in the Prospect arts district."

Shiori considers that, and then nods, "The University would have a venue large enough, I'm sure. And definitely worth looking through the arts district for an alternative." A pause, then, "The university is likely to have the best facilities though, for a larger venue."

	Danny nods. "Well, glad to know that I'm on the right track, at least." A smile to Shiori. "Thank you, I know you are busy with your own interests and efforts."

Shiori waves a hand a little bit, "Not at all. I hope I get an invitation when you put on this new experience for the city. I have to admit, I'm very curious." A pause, then, "You'll have to make sure you have access to good sound equipment and lighting too."

	"I would be honored to have you attend. In fact, I would be hurt if you didn't," Danny chides, mostly teasingly. "Do you have any contacts that you recommend for the equipment and technical aspects?

Shiori laughs softly when she's playfully chided. She dips her head, accepting the rebuke, though she's still smiling broadly. Then she tips her head and considers, "Mmmm. Let me think on that. When you figure out the venue, they may have equipment. I'd be happy to look it over. If they don't, then I'll help you find a good equipment provider."

	Danny nods, then makes to rise and stand. But before he does so, he presses a kiss to Shiori's cheek. "You are most kind. Thank you. I am in your debt. I'll see you again soon, I hope?"
Shiori looks up as Danny stands, a look of disappointment flickering across her face, but she hides it quickly and she rises slowly, "I hope so. I'm glad you came by tonight."

	"Me too," Danny replies, before drawing close to claim an embrace from the woman. "I missed you terribly," he says before slowly drawing back.
Shiori returns the embrace. When it ends, her arms are slow to lower. She pauses, then says softly, "Do you /have/ to go?"

	"Maybe not. I mean, I do have demands waiting on me, but. I /do/ miss you," he says with a hint of mischief playing in those strange silver colored eyes of his.
