This isn't an important message, and you can skip it if you want, but I thought I'd sing for the tower.

[V/V has her guitar out and is strumming idly as she speaks. She then begins to perform a song some might recognize: Scarborough Fair.

When she's done, she smiles and reaches to turn off the camera before stopping briefly.] Oh! I can sing more songs if you want to hear them.

[Then she goes and shuts it off.]

Comments

[heavenscorpse]

I'd like to hear it once.

[She doesn't think this person is the type to sing though.]

[pale_cascade]

Hn...

[ She doesn't sound like the kind of person to sing either, with her rough voice and harsh delivery. But then there must be something in that request, because... ]

Fine. I can sing it. Once.

audio;

[heavenscorpse]

Thank you very much. I'm listening now.

[Paying close attention! She can't really memorize something she's heard once though, but she can appreciate it.]

audio;

[pale_cascade]

Ha-ah...

Alright. Let me try this.

[ She takes a deep breath, audibly focuses and... begins to sing. It might be hard to believe it's the same person. But then, given the hints of tension in her voice, it takes some effort to maintain the tone. ]

[V/V listens to the whole thing with a smile on her face.]

That was beautiful. Thank you, for sharing your song with me.

[pale_cascade]

Tch...

[ Being thanked for something is a new and alien experience. Diana doesn't quite know how to answer it. ]

So long as you enjoyed it. I don't really sing it anymore.

audio;

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V is a new and alien experience for a lot of people.]

So you used to sing it?

audio;

[pale_cascade]

I did, once. [ ... ] It was comforting at the time.

audio;

[heavenscorpse]

It's a shame that it isn't now. People need a lot of comfort in the tower.

audio;

[pale_cascade]

People need a lot of things. Doesn't mean they're getting those, does it?

audio;

[heavenscorpse]

It would be nice if everyone got what they needed.

audio;

[pale_cascade]

Yeah, sure. But you know as well as I do that it's not happening.

audio;

[heavenscorpse]

I know. It doesn't mean I can't wish for it.

audio;

[pale_cascade]

Tch. If you're going to wish for something, at least wish for something that might happen.

audio;

[heavenscorpse]

I have lots and lots of wishes. Some of them might happen.

audio;

[pale_cascade]

Uh huh. A handful, if you're really lucky.

audio;

[heavenscorpse]

I'm not very lucky. But a couple would be nice.
