♭ NOTE 02

[noisyclockhands]

[ Some days start out kind of bizarre, some days stay kind of normal

needless to say that bizarre is pretty much the default here, but it can always be upped a bit, right? Not that there is need to worry, the extra weird today is mostly harmless!

When you walk around the town you'll see different posters pinned to buildings, walls, trees? maybe even trees. Also: to people's backs, because someone has no shame.

They look like regular wanted posters really, or as regular as it gets here. There is a text ('Tulip Killer, not all that dangerous! Needs to be caught as soon as possible' or 'Lost Puppy, not properly house-trained yet. Would be happy to have him returned to us!'), a probably unfamiliar member address as well as a self-drawn picture above that. Amusingly enough, both types of posters show the same thing: a pretty boy with smooth features and light-shaded hair.

The likeness is easily good enough to recognise one (1) Hope Estheim for those who know him.

So, what will you do? Ping that number? catch Oz while he is pinning a poster to something/someone/you? ask him how he keeps those things to actually stay stuck?

or be sane and walk away from this nonsense ]

Hmm, my sister's name translates into 'noble'. I think Hope is a much better name than that.

[tank_sniper]

Yeah. It's hard to think anyone would choose a name like "Hope" that lightly.

[noisyclockhands]

No, they wouldn't, would they...

[ sotto voce almost, before he turns to you and pretty much - bows ]

I'm sure that your name means something stunningly beautiful as well, Miss!

[tank_sniper]

[That makes her start ever so slightly. She wasn't expecting him to suddenly bow like that.]

Er- Yeah. Well, probably.

[noisyclockhands]

Are you, by chance, saying that you don't know for certain the meaning of your own beautiful name?

[tank_sniper]

...Maybe if you look at the alternate reading...

[noisyclockhands]

Oh? There are layers to your name even! I wonder what kind of reading that would be~?

[tank_sniper]

[There's a definite pause here, but oh well not like it's a very important conversation or anything.]

...Song.

[...Or poem. Depends on how the Relic translation goes.]

[noisyclockhands]

I am not surprised, it was obvious that such an astounding lady had to have such a beautiful name!

Do you like music??

[tank_sniper]

It's okay.

[noisyclockhands]

[ This has Oz go from Look of Confusion (it stays, for a moment) to another laugh ]

I'm sure that there are songs you'd like to, if you could hear them.

[tank_sniper]

Probably. But silence can be good, too.

[noisyclockhands]

Music isn't what you'd call noise, I think. I always find that silence makes me feel- it makes you feel lonely, doesn't it?

[tank_sniper]

I know it's not noise. But silence is good, especially if you plan on reading.
