lobsterbox | Poly crosspost -> Post #52, video/action

[ action ]
[ Tyr's wandering around the square now and taking advantage of the lack of curses to look at the different stores. It's more or less just a leisurely walk, though. Eventually, he stops around building ten and posts to the network. ]

[ video ]
It was like this before a while ago, wasn't it? More than a week without any curses. [ He doesn't sound all that certain about it. ] It makes me wonder if the deities are saving their energy for something big to happen later...

...If they are, then I... [ He starts, but then thinks better of it. ] Nevermind.

[ And he turns the device off. ]

[ ooc: Livejournal post! Responding on either site is okay.

Please don't friend this journal. I might use a different one if Poly stays journal-based! ]

Yeah. Estelle's cousin or something. For a noble, he's not bad. [From what she's seen, anyway.

--And what is that reaction even. Rita blinks and stares at him for a second.] Bad or good this time?

From:

blackshadow

[ He smiles a little. ] If he's related to Estelle, he can't be too bad.

[ For once, Tyr is completely sure of how he feels. He pulls off the headphones, shaking his head. ] Bad.

From:

negativegate

Well, I don't know if he's as good as her, but he's okay.

[Wow, Rita almost wants to know what kind of music could possibly make him react like that. Almost.] Must be something pretty awful.

From:

blackshadow

It figures you'd say that... [ So sappy for Estelle...

Rita doesn't get a choice. He slips them onto her ears to let her listen. ] Hear it for yourself.

From:

negativegate

Huh? [Her best friend!!

She starts with a hey, but she doesn't even close her mouth before the music assaults her ears, and her eyebrows immediately furrow.]

From:

blackshadow

Because you have a bias for her. [ Best and first!! Tyr thinks it's cute.

And he stares at her wondering if she...would actually like it. What does he know about her world's music? ] So?

From:

negativegate

A bias? You think she's a good person too, don't you? [First real friend ever. ;v;

It's definitely not this. After a few stunned seconds, Rita yanks the headphones off and makes a face.] I think I need to listen to something mellow.

From:

blackshadow

She is. And I think that you'd say she'd beat anyone in that. [ And forever!

Tyr's lips curl up in a wry smile seeing her reaction. He turns off the song and puts the disc back in its case. No more hurting each other's ears. ] Then let's find some music from Toran.

From:

negativegate

Well--maybe she would. [Even if there's that slight catch in her voice-! Rita's met a lot of good people now, though it's true Estelle might always be the best to her.

And they can steer completely clear of that section now!] I'm just glad it wasn't that. Anyway, none of those sounded close at all, right?

From:

blackshadow

[ Smirking! ] I knew it. [ Tyr doesn't even mind that. There's something about first friends that's always special.

Yes. Like it's poison. A bit more sombrely, he shakes his head. ] No... We don't even really use most of those instruments there...

From:

negativegate

I-it's Estelle, okay? [H-huff! Clearly that should explain all.

Rita ponders this, tapping her chin.] We might have better luck trying something totally different. Let's see what other sections there are.

From:

blackshadow

I know it is. [ It does for Tyr...

That sounds like a good enough suggestion to him, so he shrugs. ] All right. This is a pretty big place, so it has to be somewhere...

From:

negativegate

[Good! Rita's expression softens again, and she hangs on to the discs they want to keep while shoving the rest on a random shelf.] And even then, there must be tons of music from all different worlds. They might not be able to carry it all here. We could look at other stores, too.

From:

blackshadow

[ They'll take care of themselves. Talking about this with Rita makes him excited. Might as well start looking at the other sections now! ] It's a good think the City's been calm lately; this could take a while if we check other shops.

From:

negativegate

[Not like they're going to spend time looking for the right place to put them back. They have more important things to look for!] Yeah...So we'd better take advantage of it while we can.
