[ 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 ]

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

[ How is the text so fancy?! ]

[itsknighttime]

you hope or you know because those are two different things where i come from
where im from hope can do a whole bunchve fucked up shit my dude
hes um

[[Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't d-- He can't resist.]]

a master prankster who made mass millions have to look over their shoulder wondering when his next strike would be
women cried
children worried
wars were fought and won
now we just make fun of it

[[He gets that a lot.]]

[dragonsongs]

[ He is so confused, but mostly amused. ]

Now, now-
I couldn't ever endorse the tears of women and the worries of children.
This being sounds as though they needed a better hobby.
You seem to be very intimate with them, as well.

[itsknighttime]

well yeah thats why there were wars fought
who wants to see anyone crying and worrying my dude
intimate? no i kept it in my pants
hard job but i did it
yeah ashton and me went to college together and he was a pretty big dick back then too
you never know whose going to end up a prankster overlord when youre young and just kicking it to 2pac you know?
you probably dont know
dont answer that

then I got eaten by work and gaming

[dragonsongs]

[ This is... intriguing. He's never seen anyone converse like this and it's fascinating for him to read, even if he can't make any sense whatsoever of it. Doesn't mean he wants this conversation to end, though! ]

I cannot say I do, but—
Not expecting a change in someone is a mistake we all make.

What happened then?
Was there conflict?

Life happened to me too.

[itsknighttime]

i more lean on the idea that people wanting other people to change are the morons but i get what you mean

yeah man
course there was
ashton tried to raise an army the likes we aint never seen on campus
there were freshmen torn between what side to be on
fraternities ripped apart at the seams over the politics of pranking
it was a god damn mess
i saw less messy combat in world war five

Eats life instead

[dragonsongs]

That is it. We all change even when we think we haven't.
That would not be too different here.

Sounds like this "Ashton" is a source of much unpleasantry.

How are you faring presently, then?

[itsknighttime]

i guess so
havent seen that here but ive seen it at home
hes a pretty big prick
married a nice enough lady though

me? im good man im just here chillin
