I've started singing again. Nothing serious, it's just a couple of nights a week at this little jazz lounge in Freyr, but it's nice to be start doing something so familiar again. And I don't want to get rusty.

So - I don't know - if anyone ever wants to drop by the address is here. [She's switching over to text briefly to type out the lounge's location, then it's back to audio!] It's got some pretty good food and drinks, so it's worth checking out!

[And then her tone turns slightly more awkward, because this is kind of a personal subject.] Oh, and does anyone know if there's anything that's sort of like... books that explain how to write? Stories, I mean. Fake things that are completely one hundred percent not true. I've never done it before, so I don't know if there are specific rules or what.

[What? It's a totally benign request and has nothing to do with a desire to try writing romance-y things about people she may or may not know.]

Hey, what kinds of things should a person expect if she happened to be going on a date with someone and it involved burgers? What should I even wear...?

Hmmm~..... I wrote a book back in my world, got it published even, I know a thing or two about writing.

[occulthymns]

Really??

... How hard was it to get published?

Most of the time the stories are somewhat based or inspired by what happens to the author. Sometimes it's more fantasy and involves strange races, traveling through time, lots of adventure.

Inspired by what happens to the author? Plenty has happened to me, but I've never thought about using that stuff in a story.

[And the first thing to react to--]

...You don't know what burgers are, do you?

[occulthymns]

Food! Some kind of food.

If Loki comes to you and tells you he knows how to write, don't believe him.

[One story does not a genius make. One story that, though neither of them know it, ended up having some really terrible consequences.]

How come?

Oh! Miss! You sing? Maybe we could sing together sometime if I stop by?

audio;

[occulthymns]

... Maybe! It depends on how good you are. Who are you?

[Audio]

[true_renaissance_man]

I didn't know you could sing and on stage even? That is very impressive! I will have to stop by some night to hear you. Is there a day that would be the best for that?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I work in the evenings, so I think Thursdays and Fridays. Fridays tend to be busier though, so if you don't like being around a lot of people go with Thursday.

Dress Casual. Burgers are just lunch.

Might... stop by the jazz place sometime.

[She's a little wary to listen to Sam, so she sounds skeptical.]

... That's it?

Why?

audio;

[ex_surprising150]

That sounds lovely. I will have to make sure to stop by.

What kind of songs do you sing? [Seeing how she has no idea what jazz is.]

audio;

[occulthymns]

Thanks!

Never heard of jazz, huh?

audio;

[verybigpheasants]

I'll be happy to come by sometime. [ Even though he doesn't know what jazz is. Lady Euri frequents it, though. Must be something of quality. ]

audio;

[occulthymns]

That would be great, Gwaine. Thank you! [She appreciates the support.]

[Audio]

[bonnypiperlad]

Hey, I'd not realized ye sang. I'll have to come by sometime, then!

I don't know what to tell ye about the... [He breaks off for a moment as he fumbles with something in the background - and apparently fails to catch it, as a faint thump can be heard.]

Och, hang on a moment, will ye? I just need to get something.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

You definitely have to!

Okay. [She's blinking at her bracelet.] What are you doing?

[wasthemaster]

...glad to hear it. You've a nice voice. [It's an awkward admission, but he feels like he should say it.] Maybe I'll drop by sometime.

[occulthymns]

Great! If you don't I'll be really pissed off.

[Audio]

[madcuriosity]

You can sing, Miss Euri! That's splendid! I would love to hear you sing! Oh but... what is jazz? And I could help you make up stories! I'm very good at it!

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Jazz is probably one of the best kinds of human music ever made. We don't have it back home, but you can get CDs of it here.

Really? Any tips for an aspiring writer?

[comeonthensexy]

Oh, yes, there are books on writing books. Isn't it brilliant? Have a look in the library, or I could help you find them, if you can't. Not that I've really looked in this one, but there should be some.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I'm getting some advice from other people, but I think a book about it would still be helpful.

.... Help would be nice.

[ He doesn't comment until a few days after his return, but when he sees her post while reviewing the network to find out what he's missed, he can't pass it up. ]

A date, huh?

[ Audio | Private ]

[occulthymns]

[She's immediately wondering if John mentioned it to him. She doubts it, but she isn't entirely sure.]

Yeah, a date.
