Tenth Sign [ Voice/Action for first floor of Latimir]

[beyondimagining]

[Will stands by a window on the first floor of Latimir, looking out at the snow covered ground. He has a thoughtful expression on his face.]

There's something wonderful about snow. The way it blankets everything. It almost makes the whole world seem new.

[He laughs suddenly.] At home, we hardly ever had snow before Christmas. Hard to believe that only a year ago I wanted snow for my birthday more than anything.

[The boy trails off in thought again, with a kind of melancholy expression on his face.]

I suppose it shan't feel like a real birthday. Or Christmas. Not without everyone.

[He is quiet again for a moment. Then begins to sing softly in a high, clear voice. After a minute or so the feed cuts off.]

[ softly, after listening ] Back where I lived, we never got snow at all. 'less you lived on the northern islands...

Every year, for as long as I can remember, I always wanted snow for my birthday. But we never got more than a dusting in December. Until last year, that is.

I LOVE THAT SONG! *A*

[Flonne claps her hands together upon the conclusion of the song.]

That was very lovely!

It seemed like something he would have learned!

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you. I learned it last year, and I guess the snow made me think of it.

It does!

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

Then you must really love the snow!

Do you think that you could teach me that song?

Re: It does!

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

I do like it. I just hope we don't get as much snow here as we did at my home last year.

I should think so. It isn't very difficult to learn, if you have the range.

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

It can't be more than the amount of snow that falls by the Frozen River in the Netherworld. It never stops there!

Wonderful! I think that it would be fun, even if it's only to give it a try.

[As for range, well... Her squeaky voice doesn't leave much to hope for there.]

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

Ah, that was nice.

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

I like it. Singing it always makes me think of snow.

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

Really? Just as in Christmas caroling?

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

Those too, of course. But Christmas carols aren't nearly as fun to sing by yourself.

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

... You're right. They're probably not.

[flowwithdestiny.livejournal.com]

Did you find people to carol with?

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

I did. Italy is arranging things, I think.

[flowwithdestiny.livejournal.com]

That should be very nice.

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

I think so, too.

[flowwithdestiny.livejournal.com]

Do you know when it will be?

There are some of us trying to get a choir together. That should help, I think.

One should always be careful of what they wish for.

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

That I know. In my own world I got my wish last year. Snow, for my birthday. In the darkest part of Winter, when the bitter cold came,

[dreamgranter]

It would seem your wish has been granted a second time, then. Albeit the circumstances are far from ideal.

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

It seems so. If it sticks around until then, I mean.
