[It's evening on the 23rd when this goes up, starting with the camera view being shifted around a bit before whoever is holding it settles it overlooking a quiet part of Greatmoon Groves. The sun is casting gold and red across the scene, reflecting off the flame-colored hair of the young woman who steps in front of it holding a green violin in one hand and bow in the other.
She doesn't bother with an immediate introduction, instead putting the bow to the strings and giving it a few testing notes before starting a somewhat melancholy but high energy song. She plays through to the end and lets the last note linger before letting out a breath of obvious nerves and returns to her communicator to pick it back up.
It takes a moment for her to adjust properly, being too close at first but eventually pulling away so she can give a proper wave and awkward smile, freckled cheeks tinted pink.]
Ah, hello Lunatia. I'm Illyana Ackermann. I arrived here last month, and...
[A pause, attempting to funnel some of her nervous energy into staying something coherent and not rambly.]
And I've been hearing amazing new music since I got here, so I wanted to try and play something. That is, I should say, new to me. I'm mostly used to tavern bands and talent guilds, and most human music in the Kryta region is more what you'd expect drunken soldiers to loudly sing along with. There's also Charr metal...
[Don't ask.
Or do.
She pauses and tucks some errant hairs back behind her ear, looking off into the distance.]
I didn't do so well when I first arrived here. I was upset and foolishly took it out on myself. Drinking too much, hangovers well into the night. Thought I was better off under blankets in the dark than trying to make the best of an unusual situation. I'm sure I'm not the first one to do something like that, or the last.
[Off screen she's idly running a finger up and down one of the strings, making a soft but inadvertently haunting noise.]
I've made some friends here somehow in spite of my best efforts to become an unwashed undesirable hermit, so I'm going to swallow my pride and actually put myself out there. Playing was always more of a hobby for me and came second to anything else that was going on in my life, but there's no time like the present I suppose to become more serious about it. It's not like I have much else to do here. I'm curious about whoever else might be interested in music here, or even interested in lessons. I play a few other instruments, though violin is my strongest skill.
Sorry this was so long, but thank you for listening if you stayed this long.
[... how does one end these things?
Another wave?
... okay, she's just going to awkwardly shut it off.
She'll be in the park probably until dark if anyone wants to find her there continuing to play on the bench she sat at.]

[Dessa is also likely losing some of her mental capabilities, but we're not going to tak about that.]

[She wanted to help Pid but this was the best she could do.]

I know that there's something like an Ethereal Plane here, since one of my powers specifically relies on that. That implies an Astral Plane. But the rest... No sure answer.

That's. Definitely different than mine, where that kinda stuff is the realm of wizards usually..

[It is a lot more nuanced than that, and there's a lot of other issues with magic in the world.]

The source of that quote is lost to history, but it's generally good advice on my world.

... I'm not sure where the quote came from if it in fact didn't exist on my world, but when you're on a world with activist gods, you hear about stuff you learn just not to question sometimes.

[She has a very interesting expression.]
Why didn't I know about this sooner?

[Tell her everything.
Ana is weirdly excited about the prospect of condiments.]
no subject
Okay, let's see... I know it uses tomato, salt, and sugar, I don't know beyond that. It's usually associated with savory foods, often fried, but also goes on top of ground meat stuff I think? And mixing... At least a couple other condiments maybe?
[The word, is it new to Ana? Pidonus isn't sure whether to clarify or not.]

To be fair, even vinegar on fish and sugar in tea were new to me when I first got worldpulled, so....
