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.]

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.

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

I always sang them with my brothers at home. It doesn't seem quite right, to sing them with only the treble part.

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

Perhaps some others would be willing to form a choir with you?

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

There are quite a few of us working on that. I'm helping Italy to write down some music.

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

Italy...

It'd be nice to be able to have that for the holidays, this year.

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

It didn't seem like it could be the holidays without some caroling.

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not.

It's your birthday, too?

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

Mmm, on the 21.

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

Not far away, then. May I ask how old you'll be turning?

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

No, not at all. I will be 13.

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

I see. Never the ideal place to spend a birthday, but I wish you a good one nonetheless.

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. I'm Ryou Bakura, by the way-- It's nice to meet you.

[beyondimagining.livejournal.com]

It is nice to meet you as well. My name is Will Stanton.
