Tauren looks over at the group.
Aww! That’s sweet! We could sing one of her so-
He furrows his brow, looking over at Lesli.
Oh uh..
I can’t sing, and I don’t think anyone can make me.
“I-I’m uh…not really a singer?” Tauren stutters nervously.
(We need a name for this now. It’s like a gang. Our cute bois who stutter. XD)
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
January 2, 2023 at 1:25 am #127302@mineralizedwritings @lightoverdarkness6 we do! My November also stutters just a little when he’s nervous (which is often)
Also I’m not great at writing lyrics so it’ll just be like “Luna sang” at this point XD XD
Luna
Her eyes lit up at the idea, heart already warmed at all of the good emotions she could feel flying around.
“I’m sure I could think of one!”
“I-I’m uh…not really a singer?” Tauren said, shrugging his shoulders.
“That’s alright,” Luna smiled, “You don’t have to sing,” She looked at Paxton as well. “But if you want to you can. Or, you can hum along. I remember one of the first ones I learned when I was real young. It was rather easy, and the tune is simple. Goes a bit like this.”
Luna cleared her throat and then hummed a few bars. Once she finished she spoke, “Lyrics are very easy too.” She quickly taught them.
It was a simple song. Short, but sweet. One that gave glory to the Light One, as most of her peoples’ Songs did.
Slowly, she began to hum the tune, and then, with closed eyes, she opened her mouth and allowed the lyrics to flow from her lips.
She wasn’t entirely sure if anyone else was singing with her, and, at the moment didn’t really care.
For now, it was just her. Alone, singing to the Light…
The One who’d saved her all those years ago. Who’d rescued her. Chosen her. Out of everyone…
Emotion lilted her voice as she sung, changing the timbre and tune, making it all the more meaningful.
She could feel peace within her as she sang. Could feel every weight lifting. As though she were floating on air.
Softly, she brought her song, her prayer, to a close, opening her eyes.
“Amen.” She whispered.

lol yeah I don’t expect you to spout out poetry on the spot
Carter and Carmen
The group listed attentively as Luna taught them the song. Carter and Carmen picked it up fast and began to sing as well. Carmen and Luna sung the tune, high voices dancing, while Carter quickly figured out a harmony and sang in his lower tenor voice.
Carmen closed her eyes as the song rang through the halls. The voices weaved together until it was one voice. One song. One people.
Carmen never felt alone when she sang. She felt in sync with everything and everyone around her. She felt alive. They were together, and they were strong.
The song ended, and Luna let out a soft “Amen.”
Carter turned to his sister with a smile. “I haven’t sung like that with you in a while.”
Carmen smiled back, still feeling the ringing of the song in her chest. “Yeah. You’ve been too busy playing detective at home.”
(Wow. If y’all can’t tell, I like singing. Carmen gets it from me XD. What should happen now?)

Well, I think @freedomwriter76 would get Wolfgang and them to meet with the group.
But she’s been busy I believe rn, so she’s not on at this moment. So…we may just need to move forward, and when freedom gets back on her group can have followed us maybe or something? If she wants?

Matthew
As I held out my book, Paxton flinched momentarily, and my heart sank. But then, warily looking at me, he inspected the book, and, realizing that it wasn’t something to bring him harm, he looked up at me, wondering if it was really his. I smiled softly and nodded. He then turned to Luna, questioning. She smiled and nodded.
Slowly, Paxton turned back to me. I held out the book, and he slowly the book from m, then brought it back to himself, turning it over in his hands. He ran his fingers over the cover, staring at it with bright eyes.
His eyes sparkled as he read over the title, his lips moving silently as the words jumped off the cover.
He looked up again at me, questioning.
I nodded, a small smile on my lips.
Paxton seemed to think for a moment, and then, he smiled. A big smile. He looked back at the book again, unable to keep from touching the cover.
My heart leapt, and I beamed back at the little boy.
His eyes crinkled as the smile on his face reached them. He looked back at me, nodding.
“Th…” He sucked in a breath, “Thank you.”
“O-of course.” I smiled.
“Hey, Luna. Do you remember any of the songs from your books? Maybe you could teach one to us and we could… sing it together? If no one else minds, that is.” Carmen asked, glancing around at everyone else. Carter smiled at her and nodded encouragingly.
I smiled nervously. “S-sure. I-I’m not m-much of a s-singer, th-though,” I added, blushing slightly.
“I-I’m uh…not really a singer?” Tauren stutters nervously. At least I’m not alone, But I should do it. Lyla looks like she really wants me to. I thought, looking over at Lyla, who was gazing at me, pleading.
“That’s alright,” Luna smiled, “You don’t have to sing,” She looked at Paxton as well. “But if you want to you can. Or, you can hum along. I remember one of the first ones I learned when I was real young. It was rather easy, and the tune is simple. Goes a bit like this.”
Luna cleared her throat and then hummed a few bars. Once she finished she spoke, “Lyrics are very easy too.” She quickly taught them.
It was a simple song. Short, but sweet. One that seemed to give glory to God, or as Luna called him, ‘The Light One.’
Slowly, she began to hum the tune, and then, with closed eyes, she opened her mouth and allowed the lyrics to flow from her lips.
I still felt a little embarrassed, but as she began to sing, I did too. And as I sang, it sounded as if angels were singing with us. I immediately felt that we weren’t alone. It was comforting.
Softly, she brought her song, to a close, opening her eyes.
“Amen.” She whispered.
“Amen,” we all chorused softly, still subdued and awed from the peaceful spirit filling the room.

Yeah, or maybe we could have our characters get to know eachother a bit more while we wait for freedom? It’s been really fun just having them talk :).

Luna
The song, and the presence of Light it had brought with it seemed to have given a newfound clarity to the group, lifting everyone’s hearts.
Luna smiled, silently thanking the Light One for His blessing.
She sucked in a breath, thinking for a moment. “I believe we should get moving now…”
“B-But where?” Matthew asked.
Luna looked to her left and then her right, wondering the same. She then shrugged, a small laugh leaving her lips. “Well, we’ve sat here long enough that, either direction we go, the man or the dragon is probably long gone…I’m sure it would be safe to continue. Don’t you think?”
She hoped she was right…

@mineralizedwritings. @godlyfantasy12. @loopylin. @lightoverdarkness6. I’m back! 😀
School just started back today, and yesterday was packed full with Church and my Grandmother’s birthday party at my aunt’s. 🙂 So, I got to see my mom’s side of the family, the family that I didn’t get to see on Christmas. 😀 And spent MOST of my time there with my adorable, yet crazy 5-year-old cousin. XD She’s adorable, y’all, but a little crazy at times…she has the most energy I’ve ever seen. xD But anywho….I’m back! 😉
And I’m ready to RP! Joshua and Wolfgang may watch for just another moment, I guess they’re following the group, but if any of y’all want your charrie(s) to discover them right now, then let it happen!
Joshua
They quietly followed the group.
Joshua knew the three of them couldn’t stay alone forever…and they needed to find Leo, Jakob, and Reuben still. And Edy.
One of them began singing, and Joshua listened silently, still holding Camille close, and motioning for Wolfgang to keep following him.
He was now almost certain that Paxton was with the group, but they still couldn’t take any chances.
“We can just say hello…” Wolfgang whispered.
Joshua shook his head. “You know that’s dangerous…we have to keep waiting…keep watching…before we do something we’ll later regret.”
January 2, 2023 at 4:41 pm #127356@freedomwriter76 HI!!! Do u wanna RP with Hans’ group and with Leo and stuff too? Also that’s fine if u want Joshua and them to just keep watching and follow along for now…
@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @lightoverdarkness6 what do y’all wanna do?#IfMarcelDiesIRiot

Oh, and @loopylin, Jakob/Reuben can totally meet up with Eddie! 😉
January 2, 2023 at 5:57 pm #127375@lightoverdarkness6 @mineralizedwritings @godlyfantasy12
Oh yessss!!! Lol, we need loopylin ‘s Carmen here! She comes up with some pretty original names XD!!
I think she would just affectionately call them her “brave boys” or something. I don’t know maybe she’ll come up with something later.:)
