Who: Eithan + YOU!
Broadcast: Yup - fleetwide
Action: if you want, hit me up!
When: Right the heck now

Pretty sure every world's got folk songs. Ballads. Songs that tell stories. The kind you feel like pretty much everyone knows for one reason or another. That kind of thing. Whatever you wanna call em.

So hey everyone, what are your favorites from home? Happy, sad, scary, epic, funny, whatever. I'm curious.

Bonus points if you hum a few bars. Bonus bonus points if you sing it. Or something.

[Libra's tone is fond with memory as he responds - so far he still finds dictation easier than typing on a keyboard.] I learned a few of those while I was traveling, certainly.

My favorite, I think, was The Soldier's Bounty. There are different versions in different places, but the premise is that it's sung by a soldier come home from war, who claims to have earned a grand fortune in spoils but lost it all on the way home. Each verse is a little more ludicrous than the one before it, explaining how a different part of said fortune came to be lost, while the chorus proclaims that every word is true; finally, the last verse is sung by the soldier's lover after hearing the full story, who does not believe a word of it but is only grateful to be reunited.

[ Hey, this dude's clearly got some good memories attached to music. Which, of course, Eithan can totally relate to! ]

Dude, that sounds great! Bet it's a lot of fun in large groups. Just how ludicrous does it get?
