hadriel_logs | Event Log: The Hope of a Child

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the The Hope of a Child event
Where: All over the city!
When: January 23rd-Feb 1st
Warnings: Youths

By now, the gods have probably done enough weird crap to you while you're asleep for you to be a little suspicious- but it's not like you can just not sleep, especially when there are a few supernatural forces making your eyes droopy and your body feel heavy.

And now, when you fall asleep, you'll wake up somewhere else and you'll likely have quite a different temperament- you'll be younger, maybe a little more naive and innocent, and you won't exactly remember all the wild stuff that's happened to your adult self. Maybe now you'll be a little more trusting and emotional, hm? The gods could definitely use a little boost in power, and what better way to do it than to harness the power of overemotional kiddos!

Or maybe you aren't affected at all and find yourself surrounded by youths. What are you going to do when your best friend doesn't know how to cook for themselves? Or your bitter rival is throwing a temper tantrum because they broke their favorite toy? Nobody asked for this kind of responsibility, but think about what would happen if nobody was around to take care of these babies...

Is the fretboard the [she searches for the right word] arm of the guitar?

[she experiments with the guitar, plucking different strings ranging from lowest to highest. she also moves her fingers along the fretboard to hear what it sounds like. she smiles over at Rose]

How long did it take for you to play so well?

[ The arm. Rose is endeared, smile growing just a miniscule amount at that. ]

Yeah, the long part- You've got it, don't worry. See the little lines? Those a different frets. It's also called a fingerboard since it's where you rest your fingers, but. You don't need to know all the technical stuff just yet.

[ As for her, well... She supposes she learned a bit faster than most. Of course, she had superhuman hearing and reflexes to help her out. ]

A few years, maybe? I can play most stuff by ear now and that's a skill you just kind of pick up as you go, able to listen to notes or cords and know exactly which ones they are then replicate them. Don't worry if you can't do that right away. Some people go their whole lives unable to do it, actually.

[d'awwww! she smiles back happily]

Yes, I see them! So touching different frets makes the guitar sound differently? And I appreciate learning the proper words for things! Grandmother says that you must always have all of the facts all of the time.

[while Margaery is a wee human. she has an ear for music when it comes to dancing, but no one has ever tried to teach her an instrument before]

All right, I won't worry. I'll try really hard, though.

[ It's about she learned. Rose didn't think there was actually anything much better than dancing to your own tune, after all. ]

Yeah, placing your fingers higher up or down or different places will make different sounds. It's pretty neat. But your grandma's right. You're gonna' get people trying to test you all the time so better to know what you're talking about.

[ At that second part, she only continues to smile. ] I'm sure you will. And if you keep trying, you'll be a pro in no time.

[when she goes back to her original age, she's going to have to ask one of the gods for a guitar.

she tries out what Rose says, moving her fingers on the strings of the frets to experiment with different sounds] This is very neat! I'm getting to learn something that no one else in Westeros knows how to do! [and she nods] Grandmother has me studying and practicing all day. I don't mind. Most of it's fun and the parts that aren't are good opportunities to practice my ability to seem interested.

I'd like to keep trying a lot, but this is your guitar. Where can I find one of my own?

Probably not, yeah. [ It's fun for Rose to see someone enjoying music, especially under her instruction. ]

I don't know. This one came with me when I arrived and I haven't needed to ask the gods for any replacement parts or anything yet, but... My bet would be asking one of them.

[and it's fun for her to learn. expect her to remember this and request more lessons once she's back to her usual self]

Oh, that's fortunate for you! But, you have gods here? Not the Faith of the Seven?

Uh. Nope. Just the gods- Hope, Fear, Tranquility... Those guys. They're all pretty cool. Run the show around this place.

They're not my gods. They're this world's.

And this world is far, far away from Westeros. I figured that out when I saw that there were two suns. Westeros only has one.

Yeah, it is. It's far away from any world most of us have ever known, probably.

But I like traveling so it works fine for me.

Really? How many worlds have you seen? I'll tell you all about Westeros if you tell me all about your worlds.

This is the fourth world I've been to. I wouldn't mind telling you about them, but it might take a while... Not like I got anything else to do, really, but- Still.

(( ooc: heyo! i'm on hiatus until probably mid-april due to life stuff so i will still be painfully slow if you'd rather drop/handwave this and start something new when I get back lmk!!! ))

The fourth? [her eyes widen] How do you cope with it all? It sounds as though just when you'd get used to one place, you'd be moved to another. Was it like that?

((OOC: I don't mind taking things slowly. take care of RL, RP will always be there for you once things settle down))
