Action: Heron + Iskaulit
When: July 18th onward


Hey, two questions.

Are there cameras in the bathrooms? And does anyone know a good place to start growing plants? If you have somewhere, I will gladly exchange piano lessons, fighting (and weaponry) assessment and suggestions, or some sort of favor (within reason). I'm afraid I don't really have much in way of cash right now.

Last but not least (not a question), if anyone would care to buddy up for a little good ol' fashioned exploring, then I'm your gal.

That just means your father was sensible about it. Power and pride don't necessarily corrupt, but it can and very clearly does.

[ She cannot see it but Maglor just laughed ]

You know, I think that is the first time I ever heard father described as sensible - there are, in fact, a rather large percentage of people who would argue vehemently that he was anything but! But thank you.

[torsion]

HEY! Sensible based on the knowledge presented to me and comparatively. Not the full scope of things.

[bythewaves]

True, true! And when compared to the Enemy, most people suddenly sound down right reasonable, even my firey father, I suppose. But I will tell you our story some time and you can see how sensible you think him after!

[torsion]

This the kind of story I should be buying you a drink or two for and settle on in to listen to? I get the feeling I walked right into something much greater than I'd thought it would be.

[bythewaves]

Quite possibly - the full length of it is... well, quite long! And I don't know about greater - war never really is, I think, although the deeds that are done within it might be.

[torsion]

Alright. Give me a little while to rack up some cash and if the story's on you, the drinks'll be on me.

[bythewaves]

Then I will look forward to that day, for no bard will refuse such an offer!

[torsion]

Ah, are you a poet? (Traditional or otherwise, I guess!) I wouldn't have guessed!

[bythewaves]

Aye, amongst other things! I am a bard, so - a poet, a musician, a loremaster. All of those things are somewhat encompassed in the title! I believe it's not a common profession, in many worlds.

[torsion]

I imagine it's a difficult occupation to take part in, so that makes sense. Mine isn't common, either, but it's a vastly different concept and one I definitely wouldn't be good at! I can't say I'm a very engaging storyteller... plus, if it meant fiction or embellishment, I'm probably the worst at it.

[bythewaves]

Ah, well, the training does take a while, this is true. But I quite enjoy it, you see - I was always the musical one in the family! I think it's good for people to find the things they're good at, especially if they can make a living out of it!

And you never know, after all - you might be surprised at what one can do!

[torsion]

I can read music and play it, but I definitely couldn't compose it even if I tried. I guess it doesn't really interest me? Not that there's anything wrong with either side. I enjoy listening to others more, anyway.

Definitely could be surprised, but it's not really for me.

[bythewaves]

It isn't for everyone, that much is true! But I'd be glad to put on a performance - I'm vain enough to enjoy doing that!

[torsion]

Ha ha, well, I'd be more than happy to indulge your vanity in that case! ;)

[bythewaves]

You will spoil me! Especially if I get paid in alcohol.

[torsion]

Hey, don't get ahead of yourself. Better be a good story if you're gonna get spoiled for it!

Don't worry, I'll be sure to cut you off if you begin to slur!

[bythewaves]

Ah, well, I will definitely do my best to earn my keep then! And methinks I spy a challenge, there.

[torsion]

What kind of enabler would I be if I didn't make it a challenge? :)

[bythewaves]

A poor one, tis true! Well then, I will have to pull out my very best performances!

[torsion]

Well, considering I've never seen one before you can probably mess up a few times before I'll notice!

[bythewaves]

That is hardly an excuse to be sloppy!

[torsion]

You sure? Seems the perfect one to me.

[bythewaves]

It is the worst time, why I would hate to end up giving you the wrong impression! c:
