[ 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 ]

[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.]]

[ 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. ]

[jobshadowing]

[[Beyond is pretty certain that it's him who feels something strange but positive over the idea of someone playing something with him in mind. The sounds are gorgeous and he can't quite put his finger on it. Maybe it's the music calming the beast.]]

Too mysterious?

I could hear you and would listen at every given opportunity for as long as you could hold out. I haven't heard someone capable to evoke emotion through an instrument in a very, very, very long time as it feels. You have a talent for it.

[dragonsongs]

Is that so? Then I am glad to bring you such emotions. 'tis but a humble desire of mine own, to have the joy of my melodies shared with others.

[ He chuckles then. ]

And you are one of the first few who gave me company when I first arrived here. That makes you special, you know.

[jobshadowing]

Yes, I remember you saying you wished for your talents to be a rallying point, as well. I believe in it.

[[He's not used to people being jovial or happy, or receiving compliments, either and the idea of being told he had any special value felt foreign in its application.]]

Is that so? About the company I mean. Special and Mysterious are things that I don't think apply to me. However, I will dully note that you've paid me the compliment and fully appreciate them.

[dragonsongs]

[ And he means every word with sincerity, not one to lie. His gaze brightens the more he reads. He hasn't seen this Rue Ryuzaki, but he doesn't think he needs to. Isn't it better to connect on an emotional level, anyway? ]

Ah, but they do apply to you, Rue Ryuzaki. A clever way to maintain one's curiosity and interest- though you may not have intended it to be so. It only fills me with delight to imagine who you may be behind this text.

You certainly gave this humble bard much more than he'd expect, arriving alone here. It deserves appreciation!

[jobshadowing]

[[For dual matters, one of which being an ingrained need to keep himself off of video cameras and the other because he's pretty sure there aren't many who can stomach his burns. But the way that he had been smiling, either he's a really good liar or the man in the video is being sincere.]]

And now clever? Hm. You'll worry me, I'm certainly not the person you think I am. At least not by my deduction based on your kind words. Technically speaking I'm just a body working autonomously as anyone else in my daily life. You did say you were alone. Is that what it is? Are you feeling alone? Did you discover your friends aren't here?

[dragonsongs]

[ He is, for better or worse, absolutely sincere where it comes to his compliments and praise. After certain incidents in his life, he's determined to never be the same as what hurt him and those around him.

So he smiles. ]

I may have found someone beloved but I'm not going to give them away just yet. Especially since they've been leaving me hints to find them. It's something we do with each other— and they found mine own hints for them.

[ He chuckles, watching the screen. ]

But I'm sure that won't harm our friendship, will it, Rue Ryuzaki? You've kept me company and I never forget a kindness. Can't I offer you something more than just a song?

[jobshadowing]

Ohh... I like mysteries. I like that you've challenged me to figure out whom it is you're talking about, too. Don't worry, I'm good at those sorts of games. I'll find them and when I do, I'll report back to you about whom it may be.

Other than a song? Are you offering to teach me?
