Shards of Memory--Act I: The Boundless Void

[Festy_Dog]

It doesn't take Kirkesh and Vanessa long to locate Diedrik, he's back up on deck meandering about. He can be heard humming, regurlarly shifting between tunes, and pausing to write when apparently satisfied with what comes to mind.

Kirkesh & Vanessa (in Rowaini, easily observable):
[sblock]"Greetings Diedrik, I know we talked to you earlier about music for our wedding. I think we're going with something simple, if perhaps you have something you could play before, or even durring in the background, our exchanging vows, and then perhaps a few songs to dance too, we would be much appreciated. And I'm sure we can arange some sort of payment if you wish."

*Diedrik shrugs.*

"Something to do on a long trip, right? There's only so much to be done here on deck so I need something to occupy me. And forget payment, it's a special occasion, right? Back on the subject of music though, I've been sorting through a few tunes already," he says, taking out a small book and flicking through to a couple of pages covered in notes, "Considering Lady D'Etoile's home region I've got 'Sun and Moon' and 'Morning Dew', both nice songs originating from the vicinity. Heh, and if my talent for trivia serves me, 'Morning Dew' was written by a D'Etoile perhaps fifty years ago?

"Kirkesh, I'm not sure where you're from but you have a southern look to you. If anything I thought you might like 'Winter Warmth' and 'Give my Heart'. Anyway, those aren't all my ideas," Diedrik hands them the notebook, open on few brief lists of song titles, "If you have any preferences out of them, or if there's something you'd like to hear in particular, or something in there that you don't think would suit... well, you get the idea."[/sblock]

"Hmm...Sun and Moon and Morning Dew both sound wonderful, and yes, you're right that Morning Dew was composed by my great-aunt Berenice."

"'Winter Warmth' and 'Give my Heart' sound wonderful for me as well. Do you by chance know the Eldish song <<in eldish>>'

Spoiler

Hero of my Heart

'? It's one I've come uppon in my travels that speaks so much to me."

[sblock=OOC]Hero of my Heart is a sweet ballad of a woman who is saved and courted by a mysterious hero.[sblock=RA Only]Yes, indeed, it is a song composed about the Protector of the Night, though Kirkesh will only claim that it inspired him if cornered. The romance, of course, is semi-ficticious, but it is a sweet ballad.[/sblock][/sblock]

"Hmm...Sun and Moon and Morning Dew both sound wonderful, and yes, you're right that Morning Dew was composed by my great-aunt Berenice."

"Hehe, behold my talent for useless trivia. Perhaps one day I could refine it into something actually useful," Diedrik says amiably, glad his memory hadn't failed him.

"'Winter Warmth' and 'Give my Heart' sound wonderful for me as well. Do you by chance know the Eldish song <<in eldish>>'Hero of my Heart'? It's one I've come uppon in my travels that speaks so much to me."

"Hmm, name sounds familiar. I probably have it," Diedrik responds, plucking another small book from another pocket, this time filled with Eldish text.

He flicks through until he arrives to a certain few pages, which he inspects more slowly.

"This may be it. Mysterious hero saves the damsel in distress?" he gives a wry smile, and looks back and forth between Kirkesh and Vanessa, "Considering what little I know of you two I'd wager you met under similar circumstances."

Diedrik chuckles mischeviously, and offers Kirkesh the book.[/sblock]

"Very well, consider it added," Diedrik says, making a mental note, "Anything you'd like in particular, Vanessa?"[/sblock]

"There's a song my mother always used to sing when I was younger, before she..."

"It was called The Crystal Princess...I never could find anyone else around who knew it, though."

[SBLOCK=Diedrik]*The Crystal Princess is a hauntingly beautiful Eldish ode about a legendary princess of Kanath, long ago. Legend says that the Great Crater was caused by a meteor's collision with the planet, and before that, Kanath was not barren and had other kingdoms.*[/SBLOCK]

"There's a song my mother always used to sing when I was younger, before she..."

"It was called The Crystal Princess...I never could find anyway else around who knew it, though."

"Wow, would you believe I have that song? I've been lucky to accumulate a fair bit of rare music during my travels. It's somewhere between page 50 and 60," he indicates the Eldish book he had given Kirkesh, Diedrik was impressed by the beautiful woman's taste in music, "It's one of my favourites. I'd be honoured to perform it."

He hums a few bars, making sure he could remember it correctly.[/sblock]

[sblock=Diedrick & Vanessa (in Rowaini, Easily Observable)]"Wonderful. Then I think the music is settled. Thank you again Deidrick." Kirkesh smiles and offers a respectful nod of his head.

OOC: Didn't want this to turn into 'Stump the Troubidor' "Oh, do you know the Valsian classic 'Me so Horny' by Tuliiv Cruu?" [/sblock]

Bront (ooc):
[sblock]Heh, thanks. He was getting pretty close to a 'That one... I actually don't know, sorry.' [/sblock]
