[ Someone's found the music composition app. Someone may also have finally published a melody and uploaded it after days of fiddling around with the instruments on the app.

Please enjoy the attempt at the very popular Eorzean song, Pa-Paya until it annoys you. When it's done, the screen will show a very happy looking blond man with a friendly smile and strange horns looking at everyone, strumming some notes on his lyre until he speaks. ]

'tis been some suns since my arrival, and what a fantastic world this is. To think that not only instruments hide within this contraption, but the ability to send mine own image and voice to many others as though I were right before them!

Pray, indulge my queries- does the melody ring familiar to any? Do chocobo and moogles dance in delight in your own worlds? Do dragons sing to the choir of their horde? Or perhaps, do Sky Pirates race through the clouds, inspiring all with tales of adventure?

I've heard people of many worlds have been brought here with similar tales as mine own. Perhaps you could share your own?

I am called Klair, the Dragonsong, and I would be honoured to put your tales to inspiration for my songs. Or perhaps- inspiration for adornments and attire for yourself, inspired by your own journey?

[ Look at his snazzy dressing and pretty horn jewelry! He'll give it a little tap to indicate. ]

Oh, and if you've seen a light-haired miqo'te man who likes to take things apart, please forgive him. I would also love to know if anyone has seen any beautiful viera, elezen, hyur, au ra, or perhaps even a little lalafell around here too. I may be looking for my companions, and ache to know if they've arrived here as well.

[ With a flourish, he gives a bow to the screen. ]

I await your responses, and I do hope I may be able to fulfill any future requests once I learn more melodies in this land. Perhaps some personal instruction? I'll make it worth your while. ♥


[ And the feed ends as he winks at the screen and turns it off! The text will also be transcribed as he speaks, because he found the text-to-speech function. Oops. I'm so sorry for this obnoxiousness please forgive me ]

[ Well THAT'S a song she hasn't heard for a very long time. And she's not entirely sure if she's happy to be hearing or not. This is but one of many factors in the face that she is pulling when she flicks on her camera to send a response. ]

It rings very familiar.

[ And not even the pleasant follow-up can do much to take the shock from her expression. He's... that's... his face... ]

I... it is not out of the question that some of your companions have passed through this place, and I would be glad to be of assistance, but... Klair, is it?

[ Here in this moment, she is not entirely sure what her objection even is. ]

[ Well, look at that!! His eyes light up brightly as he recognizes the woman that appears. ]

Truly, the marvels of this modern contraption know no end if it could bring your beautiful face to bless my sights again! Are you going to tell me off for playing that melody when it isn't Hatching-Tide, dear Ballard? I hope you will.

[ Yes, he did just ask to be scolded. ]

[zazen]

[He could tell this guy he was incredibly gaudy, but, his piqued interest tells him otherwise. Was this some person from the world that Megumi and Aymeric hailed from? Perhaps so.

Maybe he should indulge him a little bit.]

The melody is lovely, but sadly does not strike much nostalgia for me. I can say that I know of chocobo and moogles, though they are not from my own world.

[A curse it is to always want to help others.]

Should you provide me the names of your friends, I can see if any ring a bell for me?

[ Oh the charm is turned up when he sees this incredibly handsome man with the most enchanting sounding voice he's ever heard... ]

Ah, but your sharp ears have heard of them, and there's the start of your adventure, friend! You've met those of similar worlds to mine own, then, if such names strike familiar!

[ And he perks up- ]

My dearest companions are plenty, but those dearest to my heart may be meek- have you heard the names Gareki, or Vheras- or Sen, Savia and Fufu, perhaps?

[pentameld]

[ Of all the things to bring over, it has to be the most irritating endless drone of a song from their world. He might have been relieved to see him. Might have. But if this is his grand entrance, Gareki is all too happy to send him back to Eorzea. ]

Nay, haven't seen 'em.
Keep looking.
Maybe you'll find better luck on the next planet.

Yet a moogle finds me! A real life moogle!
... you know they tend to hide in reality, yes?

[ He's enjoying this game of text-names. Everyone has such curious ones! ]

Little Moogle, pray deliver a message for me, then?
I seek my love, and ache to find him!

[The song doesn't annoy her at least, so she's clapping by the end of it. Perhaps it isn't annoying is because she has never heard of it? Hmm.]

That was a very interesting tune! I am not familiar to that song myself. And I am guessing you are a storyteller of some kind to be asking such a request?

[She pauses.] While I am not of your world, I have heard of these races. Some of them are very close friends. Like a "miqo'te". And elezen. I have also heard that those who look like myself are called "hyur".

[She sounds so proud of herself. Also that she has been refered to as Land Guardian but that's not the point. Also Klair, keep your jaw off the floor.]

[ Now there's a voice he's happy to hear! He hasn't looked up yet. ]

Now why wouldn't you know of those terms, when you belong among them, my sweet lotus! And I didn't know you longed to be hyuran—

[dragonsongs]

[ What in Bahamut's Arse. ]


Sen?! Who did this to you?! Where are your scales?! Your horns?! Is that a glamour? You don't need to pretend in front of me, you know.

[ Maybe she wanted to hide? He's still shocked, she's never been ashamed of herself! ]

[dragonsongs]

As... real as one can be, I'd hope.
Who might this "Ashton" be?

[ How is the text so fancy?! ]

[Text; un: Verbatim] /Casually 2 chars you

[jobshadowing]

I'm afraid that if I told you much about myself, Klair, the song wouldn't be as enjoyable as the one you've chosen to regale us with. Would you play another song, please? I would be very grateful.

[[And he means it. This is pretty and he likes it.]]

[dragonsongs]

[ Ah, the one titled Verbatim. When he reads this, his expression brightens visibly. ]

Ah, dear friend Rue Ryuzaki, mysterious as ever. I'd be honoured to play something for you.

[ He thinks on it, before snapping his fingers and strumming a few notes. ]

I think I've just the song. I hope you can hear me clearly, then. I present to you, Night in the Brume.

[ Because the song he's going to play is very closely tied to the epithet he picked for himself- from the very land the Dragonsong War was fought around. ]

[saigawa]

[His feline ears perk up in interest, as he listen to the tune.]

Nope, I never heard of it before. But it sounds good to me.

[Hmm... Well, he is curious.]

I don't mind telling you some of my tales. Especially if they inspired you to make clothes.

« video » un: dratahr

[dragonsongs]

They'll inspire me for far more with a beautiful face like yours, friend. What sort of tale do you have for me, then?

[ He tilts his head curiously, trying to make out if this one is a miqo'te or not... ]

[blackscales]

I'm curious about your title -- the Dragonsong. It has a specific meaning where you are from?

« text » un: dratahr

[dragonsongs]

[ Ah, a subject near and dear to his heart. ]

I'd be happy to share, friend. A Dragonsong is a the call of the greatwyrms- great dragons who could summon their horde with but a single melody of their cry.

A call to arms, a gathering of hearts- a song's power is a mysterious one, would you not agree?

[punchpass]

Please do not post annoying songs to the network.
I wish to live in peace.

« text » un: dratahr

[dragonsongs]

Was it truly annoying?
You have my apologies. All I'd meant to do was share the progress of the replicated melody.

[ He's so sincere about this. He hadn't wanted to annoy anyone! ]

What sort of music brings you peace, then?

un: music2myears

[He will just respond with a song of his own. Isn't it awesome when your own battle theme is canon to your world?]

[ His expression brightens when he hears this- what! Is this!! It sounds amazing, and when it's done, he speaks up- ]

You there- what is this style?! What a fantastic rhythm and beat- and it's through voices acting as instruments too! I must know of this method immediately!

You are inscribing your message twice-over on this network. Choose one posting type or the other.

Oh? But would it not be easier for those that cannot use this visual communication to know what was being said?


[ Accessibility! Not that he thought of it, but it happened... ]

[independent]

Could you describe your companions in a little more detail? It might help me to identify them.

[ Few of those terms made any sense to her and if she can learn more about his world while offering him some assistance, than all the better. ]

Once we've determined if I've seen them, we can share stories. I imagine you have no shortage of material to spin your own tales.

« video » un: dratahr I'm so sorry for late I was trapped in gaming and work

[dragonsongs]

Absolutely, fair one. I'm looking for an auri man— Ah, that would make no sense to one not from mine own land. Imagine a tall man, with horns like mine own, and scales decorating his body. A tail to match, and sharp green eyes with a silvery mane. That would be my knight, Sieg. If you've seen anyone with his likeness, do inform me?

[ He smiles brightly. ]

Or perhaps, you'd find sight of a tall maiden with ears akin to a rabbit, and hair of dark purple. That would be a viera, another companion named Savia. I've many to party with, but we can have those to start with, should you see them. Have you just arrived as well?

un: nightfell | video

[steely]

Asking for our stories is a clever way of requesting our secrets.

[ Is that an observation? An accusation? Only time will tell. ]

Why don't you tell us your stories?

screams I'm so sorry for the late, gaming ate me

[dragonsongs]

[ That makes him chuckle softly. ]

Is that so? Surely your secrets wouldn't be that ill-guarded, would they?

[ Oh Twelve, don't let him start talking about himself. ]

I'd be more than happy to regale you with mine own tales, fairest one! What would you like to hear? Perhaps mine encounter with a Behemoth on the snowy plains? Or the time a morbol decided to chase my companions and myself through the steppe? I've plenty of adventures to share, but mine own would pale before so many from different worlds!

Sadly it isn't familiar to me at all, but it was lovely to listen to! I'm actually really happy to see more musicians here. I feel like that was something Prismatica was lacking for a while, or at least ones who were willing to perform over the network.

sorry for the delay!

[dragonsongs]

[ Oh. Hello there. His expression brightens and he smiles at her. ]

The song in its original state has a lovely little voice to go with it. Are there really not many musicians here? 'tis quite the pity- but what about you, fair one? What sort of music do you enjoy?

un: hawkeward || audio

[trident]

At least half of that sounds like complete nonsense to me. Do you normally talk this much?

( a beat. )

But do you know dragons to sing where you're from?

GOSH FINALLY /hugs you

[dragonsongs]

Only when I've got much to say, fair one! Best to be give details if anything needs be asked!

[ Save yourself. ]

And aye. A dragon's choir is said to be a powerful one, enough to enchant those that have the capacity to hear it.

[ It's not complete chocobo shite. ]

Have you any where you're from?
