I considered blowing this off to read the .hack manga I just bought a couple hours ago, but I think I'd better update before there's more discussion than story.
Also,
>>27334 has got it right; Inconsistency with the target is bad. But if you can manage it, you can do a harem, though I never quite got the appeal of those since the (usually) male protagonist is walking on a knife's edge and isn't able to pursue any one girl more than another because the rest would rip him, or the girl he chooses, several new ones if he ever goes all the way.

[X]I think I remember how to play at least one instrument...
This is fun and all, but I am on a date with Yukari right now so taking Merlin's lips a little more than she took mine is probably a bad idea at best. As such I allow Lyrica and Lunasa to peel Merlin and Nari off me so I can sit upright.
But something does click in the back of my brain: I think I remember how to play an instrument now, so playing something shouldn't be too difficult. Nothing with lyrics because I sure as hell can't sing. Come to think of it, that probably means wind instruments are out too.
"Hey Lyrica, I think I remember how to play keyed instruments, may I borrow your keyboard?" I turned to Lyrica as I asked this.
"M-my keyboard? Why mine?" She doesn't seem to thrilled with the idea of handing it over, but after a minute or so does just that, albiet with considerable amounts of reluctance.
Next I had to decide what I wanted to play, as I hadn't really thought about it up till now. So I play something that's on the top of my head just then, something that I didn't quite recall before but could do well enough with Lyrica's board. Well enough, heh...

"Oh, playing that theme the Prismrivers wrote for me?" Yukari asked something rhetorical just then, so I just kept going.
"Doesn't quite sound right with just one person, but almost all our songs were meant to be played as a group, so..." Merlin had placed a finger on her cheek before pulling out her trumpet. "I don't think adding to it will hurt." Then she began to play with
"And if one joins in, the others will too. It's just how we play music." Lunasa pulled out her electric guitar again, holding it properly this time as her playing blended with ours.
"Wonder if we should do that one rewrite..." Lyrica produced another keyboard, this one a synthesizer and began to play as well.
"Rewrite?" I didn't skip a beat, but simple talking detracted from the value of the song if handled incorrectly.
"Yes, rewrite. These three and I put our heads together and wrote a version with lyrics, one that actually works fairly well." Yukari decided to jump into the conversation, and the sight of Yuyuko sitting in Yukari's lap almost made me slip up. "Alright Yuyu, that's enough of that. There are guests here."
"Sometimes you're no fun Yukari." Wasn't exactly said in a huff, rather a playful teasing. Who knows what the ghost princess was doing.
[X]Details on the rewrite if you want me to play it.
[X]Playing normally is fine, isn't it?
[X]Actually, I only wanted to play one song for now. (What to do instead?)
