[QUOTE="Guilt Puppy, post: 571930, member: 6521"] [b]Good old world...[/b] Leaning in closer, you begin to make out the words -- it seems almost like he's raised his voice a little for you. It's clear from his looks that he's human, but his elvish is clear and well-sung: "...when I was a man, the wind blew cold Tthe hills were upside down... But now that I have gone from here, There's no place I'd rather be Than to float my chances on the tide Back in the good old world.... On Autumn's last, I'll fly back home Rolling down winding ways... And all I've got's a pocket full of flowers on my grave. Now summer is gone I remember it best Back in the good old world... I remember when she held my hand and we walked home alone in the rain... How pretty her mouth, How soft her hair Nothing can be the same And there's a rose upon her breast where I long to lay my head... And her hair was so yellow and the wine was so red..." ...at which point Victus enters, drawing your attention away. The room grows a touch more silent... [i]Victus:[/i] As you enter, you note that a few of those closer to the door pause in their quiet conversations -- or, more often, quiet contemplations -- and strike a wary glance at you, before continuing on as though not much had happened. [i]Note of credit: The song lyrics are from Good Old World, by Tom Waits. It's always nice to have an appropriate song on hand when you're starved for poetry of your own :) [/i] [/QUOTE]
