The Fool wanders Luceti Valley

[elevatoravatar]

Who: Elizabeth and open
What: The town's eccentric music teacher is out and about
Where: All over town, the school during the day.
When: Days 1-7
Summary: Elizabeth thinks this is all a game, and she's a player. Best to find the rules before someone else figures out who the players are.
Warnings: None? Other than Elizabeth is odd

The night the world changed, Elizabeth was out of town, so she just watched and continued on as normal, what struck her as odd was when suddenly she passed out and woke up the next day in a strange bed. The house was small, there were pictures on the wall of people she didn't know, clothes that weren't hers yet fit and a journal of schedules. Curious she set out into the world and watched.

People continued about their business as this was normal and even some faces she recognized went on as if this was normal. Curious, but in a world of gods playing games with each other not impossible. It was however vital she understand the game if she were to play it, and given how she remembered before it was highly probable that she was picked as a player. Perhaps due to her wild card, perhaps due to the fact illusions were so easy to pick out she felt that she was a player and best not to let it on.

After her morning of seeing the world she looked at her journal and nodded.

"So I am a teacher of songs, I see. I shall have to play the game for now."

With that she went on living the life of a middle class music teacher.

During one of the days she's not actively in Lowtown or out on the farmlands, Cloche is out in Hightown doing some shopping and running errands. During that day, she finds herself in front of a musical school. With an interest in singing, she'll go inside, looking for whoever was in charge.

Sure, she didn't need the lessons (or so she thought) but she did enjoy hearing what anyone might have in the way of advice!

[elevatoravatar]

Elizabeth looks at the comer and waves cheerfully.

"Hello! Welcome... Is there a way I can assist you today Miss?"

[implanta]

"Oh, I was mainly looking for advice. I can sing well, if you ask me. But it never hurts to have a second opinion. I was hoping you might be able to help, since I wouldn't mind improving."

There had been some innate love for singing ever since she was young; and though she had never had any proper lessons, she was always told that she had a beautiful voice and didn't even need them. However, Cloche knew that the best way to get better was to have someone else give her some advice. It worked with everything else, why not this?

[elevatoravatar]

"Oh! Of course! Songs are a special window to the soul, even in a land of illusions. A song is always true if the singer believes it."

She nods and smiles.

"May I ask to hear your heart?"

[implanta]

Elizabeth is going to get a weird look for that "land of illusions" comment, but Cloche can... kind of understand it? Maybe? Ah well, maybe she's just a little odd, is all? Nothing wrong with that. So, Cloche will brush it off and nod.

"Of course."

With that, Cloche closes her eyes. There was something bubbling inside of her, and though this version of her didn't know what the song was, her real self did. It was an old folk tale that Cloche wasn't sure why or what she was singing (in language and how she knew all of the words) but the self that knew it was powering her through it, keeping in all of the emotion and power of the song.

Once she's finished, Cloche's eyes open back up to look at Elizabeth, asking her silently what she thought.

That was in Hymnos, correct? Been a while since I played an AT game.

[elevatoravatar]

Elizabeth crossed her arms and listened, pondering the whole while. A new language, one that sparked something mystic and of the soul perhaps, or perhaps simply another world, either way it was not part of the illusions this place dreamed of.

When it ended she smiled broadly and clapped.

"Such raw emotion, like a soul bursting at the seams to escape the prison of reality. The language while not one I understand is quite beautiful. A song of triumph by the sound though, one that a soul that knows its place sings. Would you be willing to tell me the tale your soul sings?"

Yep, Hymmnos and Shell (common) :D

[implanta]

"I don't really know where it all came from. It was the first thing that came into my mind when I went to sing. But if you'd like me to sing more, I'd be happy to. I don't really get much of a chance at home with everyone bothering me."

Admittedly, she didn't care where that song came from, but it gave her shivers thinking about what she had been speaking in. It was honestly thrilling to be speaking in a language no one else knew. It was almost like her own special secret language! She would have to show Kouki when she saw him next...!

[elevatoravatar]

"Hrm, yes, I would, any songs you can in the language of your heart. It is quite beautiful, and unlike the language of my heart, I do not think anyone would object."

She smiles. Perhaps this is how the game is played. Touch a heart and see if it awakens, perhaps that is how the fool interacts, perhaps that is how the wild card is drawn, perhaps that is how bonds are formed. It was all new and unexpected, but Elizabeth craved to know more.

[implanta]

That wasn't too tall of an order, so Cloche nods and again goes through the motions. This time, it's a song exclusively in that strange language she had been singing earlier. It was a song that, for whatever reason, she was completely at ease singing. It was almost as if she just knew the language, though she didn't know how it was possible.

When she was finished, there was another smile. Singing like this made her pretty darn happy, and there was no way she could stop now.

"Is there anything else? Any advice? Or maybe I'm fine the way I am?"

[elevatoravatar]

"I sense somewhere, deep inside, there is a lie that the conscious mind is confused by but the song is not. The two being out of harmony I believe is distracting you, keeping you from reaching your full potential."

She tilts her head and walks around Cloche pondering.

"Close your eyes and let it all go. All of this place. Connect your mind and soul to the song. See where it leads you, if what your eyes see is the truth or what your soul knows. When you have come to the answer of that I believe there will be great power in your music."
