[The feed is only voice this time, betraying no emotions. Feel free to have noticed that he has holed up in Loki for the duration of the event and not been out of his room for more than work for a while before that.]

I am looking for musicians. More specifically, I have sheet music for flute, harp and guitar. There are also a few pieces that include fiddle or singing voice. Is anyone here interested in launching an ensemble? I'd rather hope to find ones trained well in their field, though that is not strictly necessary.

Gwenhwyfar, I have it now. Tell me when you would like to come over. [A harp is just way too heavy to carry it around town just to visit someone, and not really the instrument that should be dragged into the middle of a forest.]

I'm also looking for sword classes, now that I can afford them. I know there's the Citadel, but are there any other places or is that the only option?

[And then Bran's voice turns carefully composed and bland - it is clear that an effort is made to keep all emotions out of the words. He does not want to show sadness or fear, it would make him seem weak and an easy target. He learned early on that that is a very bad idea.]

Also, Will Stanton of house Odin left, in case that is of interest to anyone.

I know now only music from my own home, but this is something which interests me. Might I ask what kind of music?

[audio]

[white_raven]

I'm not sure with most of it; I was looking for pieces that I know and found quite a few, those are mostly from my home, but there were a lot of pieces in the same section from composers that I had never heard of.

[rakia]

I would think there would be much music not recognizable to many of us, yes? But it is good that some are familiar.

[white_raven]

Do you play an instrument?

[Stop skidding around the topic, wow]

[veneficus]

I do not yet teach in the Citadel and I am quite qualified with a sword. I am certain there are others like myself.

[ a smile. ]

Do you play?

video;

[white_raven]

I play the harp. On a rather high level. [What with performing at the national festival and things like that.]

Would you teach me? I should probably count as a beginner for the purpose of this. [He's held a sword before - he has it with him, though it changed upon arrival - but there is a difference between handling a magical sword and a normal one.]

[veneficus]

Truly? Shall you play for us Travelers then? When you have your fellow musicians?

[ a tilt of her head; she is far too used to Camelot, in which she is an exception. A woman who knows the sword. With men like Lancelot and Arthur present his request is very unusual.

Though not at all unwelcome. ]

If you'd like. You'll have to work hard, practice quite a bit; but I suppose one has learned how to play a harp knows the burden of practicing a skill.

[white_raven]

That might be so if there should be a place and time for it. [He won't organize anything, but if things should come up...]

I understand it. [A simple agreement, neither petulence nor any other negative note tied to it.] Shall we agree on a time and place and try out if we can work with each other well enough for this to work out?

[holmes_fanatic]

I don't have an instrument here, but I can play the violin.

Will-san is a friend of yours?

[video]

[white_raven]

There are a few shops in town that build various instruments, I've seen violins in at least two of them. Though they will probably take some saving up to buy, but maybe you could lease one. [Violins are more frequent than harps by far, after all. They should be easier to find.]

Yes. We share a world. [And a lot more than that, more even than just one world, in a way.]

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

I was thinking that maybe a building like the Draupnir theatre should have a practice violin. It wouldn't be fancy, but it should be in good shape, at least!

I guess knowing you're going back to the same place doesn't help much right now.

[video]

[nukeoleptic]

[ She sounds thrilled. ]

I can play guitar!! Mostly electric or bass, but I can adapt!

[video]

[white_raven]

[That, if he is honest, is something that he did not expect. Not that he'll show his surprise. The white haired teen sqitches on the video as well after slipping on his sunglasses.]

Do you have an instrument here?

[video]

[nukeoleptic]

Nope! I haven't thought to get one yet. Mostly since we're all packed so tightly in the houses, I didn't want to bother anyone.

[ She flashes a smile at him him when he turns the video on, white dog ears perked. ]

[video]

[eisenrache]

Was he a friend of yours? This 'Will Stanton'?

[video]

[white_raven]

Yes - that too. [So that is what Erik looks like...] We came from the same world.

[video]

[eisenrache]

[Oh yes this is their first meeting, isn't it? Erik hasn't even made the connection quite yet.]

I see. Did you come here with him or did you two arrive separately?

video;

[gwenhwyfar]

[There's a very faint smile on her face.]

Any time you would like.

video;

[white_raven]

You can come over any day starting at four. I would pick you up from the front door of Loki house.

[gwenhwyfar]

Then I will come tomorrow, if you'd like.

[pratentious]

[ It has been ... a while. Too long, but Arthur is still. Not certain. ]

I am sorry to hear of Will's departure. [ A beat. ] Are you ... well?

[ Not all right, there's not - you can't be after --

Gods, but this is hard. ]

[ permaaudio ]

[white_raven]

I am well enough, thank you.

[A bit stiffly, the words too formal. How do I deal with not!papa.]

He arrived here after myself. [Aka Bran managed in Asgard without him before. Just.]

[ permavid! ]

[pratentious]

[ There are no real platitudes to be offered in this instance. The knowledge of seeing him again once he returns home does not necessarily make a happy guarantee. ]

I cannot think that should make it any easier. [ A slight shake of his head. ] If you should find yourself in need of anything -

[ The same offer from before stands, but that's ... obvious. Not!son, what do I do with you? ]

[dragonspeak]

I'm sorry about Will. [Just when they were getting along better, too.]

I told him I'd like to be friends, no matter what versions of ourselves we know in our worlds. It's the same for you, if you'd like.

[permaaudio until I say otherwise >D ] | Private

[white_raven]

Having "friends" [There is a certain tone to the word, he's not really used to calling people that, and when does being friends start? When you share a bar of chocolate, or when you have known each other for a while, or... the word just comes with so much inexperience for a boy who has basically never had a normal friend in his life and thus regards the word with (unsure).] would certainly not be a bad thing in this place.

Which probably means yes, right?
