The Juilliard Duo // oxo reboot rp // closed~

Plot
When two musicians meet at a music school, they quickly bond. Eventually, they decide to enter a competition together. Uh… they get really close ig?

Basic Description
Hi yes I would like another serving of a good rp please!~ So basically I had this idea where two musicians are at a music school, I was thinking Juilliard, and they bump into each other more than other students whom they don't really know well and they get close and stuff… And the instruments they play are ones that… well if one plays the piano than the other can basically play anything but if one plays the violin than the other has to play something that would have sheet music written for violin and some other instrument.

(May I?)

Hey hey hey! I don't believe I've rped with you before… if I have, forgive me, I don't have the best of memories aha

Could I have a writing sample?

Sure! And it's not my best but here…

"Just wondering," Kelton answered, wondering what had made him want to punch Ben so badly. He didn't do anything to Piper or him, yet he just wanted to knock the living daylights out of the guy. Is something wrong with him? Was he turning into his mother? So many questions floated around his in his head, making him feel like his head was going to burst open or something. The realization dawned on him after a few moments. This, this was the feeling all those countless books he read had described. Love. That's what it was called. Everything made sense now. All those countless nights he had spent crying, waiting and hoping that Piper would appear, or he would wake up and it was all just a bad dream.

Ooo this is great!~

You're in! :D

Lol thanks! Are we doing templates or no?

Np!~

Yup! I'll just be a second~

(I've already made my character, so I'll put her template up in a bit)

• At Juilliard?

• Playing Their Instrument?

Other:

Name: Julianna Kennedy

Nickname(s): Juli, Julia

Age: 23

Gender: female

Appearance: https://pin.it/HkcGQf3 // Stands at 5'5" // Outfits: To Concerts ~ In Winter (1)(With jeans and relatively high boots) ~ Casual Wear (1)(with black flats) ~ In Summer(with shorts and sandals) ~ Fall/When Attempting To Look Nice/Casual (2) ~ Winter (2)(With a dark colour pants)

Personality: Julia loves to play music, and really enjoys playing in small groups, and even ensembles. It's always been a thrill just to walk out on stage, having worked so hard toward that very moment… though she really loves music, it's not all she likes! She very much enjoys tree-climbing (although it's more of a hobby at this point than anything else), hanging with friends, and origami!

Instrument: Violin

How Have Long They've Been…

• At Juilliard? It's Julia's first year.

• Playing Their Instrument? Since fifth grade, so about… 10-11 years?

Other:

• Background: Julia has always been passionate about music. When she was nine, she started out with piano lessons for about two years, but quickly learned that it wasn't her passion in life. In fifth grade, however… that was when she was introduced to the wide variety of instruments out there. She knew almost immediately which one she wanted to try, though. And everyone who knew her could tell the difference. Violin would clearly be her life-long passion.

• Favorite Quote: 「Music is life. That's why our hearts have beats.」

(Question, what's Julianna sexuality?)

(mmm… i would say she doesn't really know, but she identifies as straight for now)
(also i don't really feel like turning this into a romance, just so you know)

(Oh okay then, I was also going to ask that)

Name: Estelle Agnes Bradford

Nickname(s):

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Appearance: Standing 5' 9" tall, this tan skinned woman has a knowing feel about her. She has an oval face, a narrow nose, and small lips. Her blue eyes are almond shaped and she has smooth eyebrows. She has short, black hair which is silky. She has a long arms and soft hands, a weak torso, a typical waist, and weak legs.

Personality: There's more than meets the eye in the case of Estelle Bradford, but above else know that she's witty and fun-loving. Of course she's also forgiving, exciting and intuitive, but in a way they're lesser traits and tainted by behaviors of being desperate as well. Her wit though, this is what she's pretty much known for. People often count on this and her modesty when they're feeling down. Nobody's perfect of course and Estelle has plenty of character faults too. Her unfriendliness and provocative nature sour the mood many a time, both personally and for others.
Fortunately her fun-loving nature shines brighter on most days.

Instrument: Piano

How Have Long They've Been…

• At Juilliard? First year

• Playing Their Instrument? She's been playing since she was 9

Other: She has doggo, doggo is very cute.

(Is she okay?)

Yeah! She's great, just one thing which I'll get to in a bit… there's one thing that's more important… "She has doggo, doggo is very cute." I LOVE THE WAY YOU PHRASED THAT <3333

Okay, so on to more serious things, Juilliard is actually a more classical music oriented school, and honestly I can't see someone writing out a duet for guitar and violin… could you change her instrument to something else?

Lmaoo thanksss and sure! I probably should have researched about the school and stuff. Also, I was looking through C instruments and stuff, so would piano work?

Haha it's okay
And yup! Piano would totally work!

Oh okay then, thanks!

yw! so I'm thinking about starting soon, but since I'm on mobile I can't rn

Okay then, take your time!

thank youuuu~

You're welcome~

(Also quick links: the pattern on the suitcase)

Juliana was standing on the sidewalk, just across the street from the building. "It's really happening," she breathed. She still couldn't believe that she was actually going to be able to attend Juilliard. It was so much more beautiful than she'd thought. She had her suitcase in hand, and a cup of bubble tea in hand.

Estelle was walking on the sidewalk towards the school, her eyes twinkling as she looked at the building with wonder. "Is this really happening?" She muttered to herself, rolling her suitcase behind her as she walked into the school, overwhelmed by the inside. She forced herself to calm down and walk to the desk, smiling kindly at the lady. "Excuse me, I'm Estelle Bradford and I'm a first-year, I was wondering if you kind of help me a bit, I have no clue what to do and where to go."

_{(I just looked up the school and I want to go there so badlyyyyy)}

_{(same thooooo but i know that i'm never gonna be good enough to get innnn)}

Juliana took a deep breath. I can do this. Just walk in there, and figure out where you're going to be staying, she told herself. Of course, she knew that it was easier said than done. She was just so nervous! When she finally crossed the street, she stopped, and reassured herself. Small steps, she reminded herself. You've crossed the street. Now the next step is to walk in there. You can worry about what to say later. Juliana bit her lower lip and started walking again, heading straight for the front doors. There she found a tall, black-haired woman already there. Don't panic, it's going to be okay. You're going to get to know people, and you'll be find. She wasn't scared by the woman, just… a little unsure of how to act around others with the same interests as her.

_{(lmao same since I have know musical talent or any talent in general)}

The woman looked at Estelle's dog and couldn't help but aww in response. "Your dog is so cute, what's their name?"

Estelle glance at her dog and picked him up. "His name is Angel," she replied with a smile, petting Angel and kissing his head.

"H-hello…" Juliana started to say, giving a very nervous smile. There were a million thoughts running through her head. Is everyone going to be extremely competitive? Will I even make friends? How hard are the classes going to be?

The woman nodded, holding her hand out and glancing at Estelle. "May I?" Estelle nodded, letting her pet Angel and keep awing over him. In the mean time, she looked around and spotted a nervous girl, smiling warmly at her and waving at her with her free arm. "Hey!"

Estelle nodded. "I'm also new here, and I'm pretending I know what I'm doing so the older kids don't do anything to me," she said with a laugh. "I think we have to go to orientation or something, but I don't know where it is."

Estelle chuckled and nodded. "That was already my plan, this time I have somebody to get lost with."

The receptionist snapped out of awing over Angel and smiled at Juliana, holding out her hand. "I'll show you two your dorms and then I'll take you to your orientation."

(Sorry about that! School had gotten cancelled because of the virus and everything is confusing!)
