I doubt we will see any further efforts to make amends beyond this from him, so we best enjoy the rare good will while it lasts. Have you listened to it yet?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Not yet, no. Did you want to listen too?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

I am curious about what it sounds like and if it truly holds the voice a past siren. If so, I wonder if there is any way to release it back to them.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I've heard it's a little haunting...but I figured it may not be as strange to Arias? But just incase, would you rather wait til morning so it doesn't keep you up?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

If we are talking about songs that keep me awake at night, it is difficult to surpass "Baby Shark." I cannot imagine anything being more haunting.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We don't talk about that song.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

Then you agree there are worse consequences. Let us hear what the music box has stored within it.

[Opens the box without further ado then]

["Once you open it, you hear the tune start to play, and although it's just a simple music box, the chimes start to sound like a haunting voice calling out to you. The more you listen to it, the more entranced you start to become. You can feel your ego start to swell and your sense of humanity diminish albeit slowly"]

[ His eyes widen slightly as the song filters through, growing enraptured to the beautiful yet haunting sound while listening to it before remembering the last visions he had and the sharp migraine that always comes with them. ]

[Closes the box, curling over it a bit]

It's pretty, isn't it?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[ He rubs one of his own temples, both relieved and disappointed it's over. ]

It was overwhelmingly euphoric...like an ascendant prayer. I could see why you desired it so strongly.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

That....and I collect them. And this one specifically belongs with us.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[regulate]

It does. Their voice is one of ours and no one else's to mishandle. I still believe we can free them and relinquish whatever hold this box has.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We'll look into it.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

If only I knew how to grasp onto that same power from my vision, then I could save you and the others on this boat as well. You would be free to return to your life once more.

[Sets the music box aside, scooting closer so he can rest his head on Friday's shoulder]

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[ He summons his larger wings so he can wrap one around Jewel as he threads his fingers through his hair, humming softly and murmuring. ]

...Until then, I will do what I can with this current body to keep you safe. Rest if you need to. Let your worries drift away and let my song bring you warmth and refuge.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Oh? What's got you feeling so protective today?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

You could say I felt inspired. The Sirens of old perished in the Song River while others had their voices stolen –were taken apart by their fans as a form of "love."

In my last vision, I said something like...The Embryo of Philosophy will reshape for us all of reality. The thought suddenly was warming to me instead of terrifying.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

It's both though, isn't it?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[regulate]

It is...hence why it is best left to a delusion, no matter how attractive the prospect seems. I am no god.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You're no god....but you were quite kind while I was quite vulnerable. Thank you for that.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[regulate]

You would have done the same were our positions reversed, and looking after you was a good distraction from the urge to kiss everyone in sight.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Grins, just a little]

Seriously? That was the effect you landed?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[ His wings droop. ]

Aside from being unable to taste sweets and being unable to lie, yes. It was a very unpleasant day. I only stepped out to take you to the Forge cabins. Imagine if Lithium had answered the door, and I had given him another reason to dislike us.
