First Song ( Video )

[hasitsthorns]

[ Graced upon everyone’s screens will be the image of Rose with (1) pair of obnoxious neon pink shutter shades. Her smile is about as bright as her newfound sunglasses are, but perhaps not nearly as much of an affront to the eyes. Blond, curly hair cascades around the edges of the camera as she addresses the network. Her introduction comes in a rather unorthodox fashion; she decides to greet the masses with a song. ]

I could stick around, get along with you… Hello! It doesn't really mean that I'm into you; Hello! You're alright but I'm here, darling, to enjoy the party. Don't get too excited 'cause that’s all you get from me. Hey! Yeah, I think you’re cute but really you should know… I just came to say hello!

[ Her mezzo soprano tapers off into a light laughter. She lets her shades fall down her nose a bit, revealing big brown eyes that are just as alight as her smile. ]

Helllloooo, Heropa! My name is Rose and I’m your new DJ at the club Bjomolf! I’m super excited to bring you the best tunes and get your body moving to the grooving. I’m also just super jazzed to get to know all of you in general.

So if you’re living in my neck of the woods, come on down and I’ll make sure to handle any music requests you may have. If you’re not, well! Now’s a good a time as any to head to our lovely little town and have one of the best nights of your life! Am I right, am I right?
[ She’s totally right. ]

I hope to see you there. [ /wink! And the feed ends. Though she’s still definitely up for answering any and all questions. Heck, she’s even up for some chit chat being new as she is. ]

Hey, I'm Flynn. You're just arrived, I guess?

[hasitsthorns]

You would be correct, good sir! Fresh off the boat. Or... whatever interdimensional travel device they use.

[ She likes to imagine a space-time boat. ]

But since you're asking, I'm guessing you aren't? How long have you been here?

[flynnnotjunior]

Not very long really. March.

[hasitsthorns]

Well, hey, you're still my senior in that sense so you'll have to show me the ropes of living here!

[ Ah, that isn't very long... Hm. ]

Got any family here? Or just people you know from back home?

[ He seems young and she imagines having familiar faces might make being away from home a bit easier. ]

[flynnnotjunior]

Hey, good idea.

[ Just stomp right over that sore spot, lady. ] Why? [ He then realises he should cover. ] Do you have family?

[hasitsthorns]

I'm trusting you to take me to all the coolest places.

[ In her defense, most human families are much more functional than her kind's idea of it was. Though the keyword there was most. ]

I was just curious! [ Ah. That means either A) he doesn't or B) he doesn't want to talk about it. Fair enough. ] But me? Nah, I've been on my own since I was [ about his age, she realizes, though refrains from mentioning as such ] old enough to be. I've been livin' free for a while now and that's the way I like it.

[flynnnotjunior]

Right, I mean, yeah, sure.

[ Something about her interest is still odd. ] So why the curiosity, then? Are you expecting yours to show up or something?

[The singing is all that caught her attention as she was a singer, herself, so of course it will attract her rather easily.]

I'd return a greeting song for another, but unfortunately I've been wasting most of my energy on trying to communicate with this world's sky instead.

[There may be sweat glistening as she admits this while feeling slightly out of breath. She wasn't really kidding over singing to the world a few moments ago.]

It's nice to meet you, Rose, our new DJ of some....kind of...society? [Sorry, Rose, she is taking the word "club" as an actual government thing. She's a medieval kinda princess and all.] I guess you're their official singer...? What kind of songs are you thinking of singing for them? Is attending a live show of your concert free or do we need a special invitation? [Because it sounds like one.]

( video )

[hasitsthorns]

[ Huzzah! Fellow vocalists. Though it seems the scope of her songs are a bit bigger than Rose's... ]

Huh. Have you had any luck? [ Sounds like something important, at any rate. ]

But it's nice to meet you too! Uh, a club is like... a place where people go to dance and listen to music. [ Uhntiss uhntiss music, she usually describes it as but refrains. ] I won't actually be singing but choosing the music to play! [ Though she might step on stage for special events. Who knows! ] It's free admission [ she thinks, don't quote her on that one ] and definitely free to see me!

( video )

[drizzle]

No. Not yet. I still haven't found the right lyrics or beat to appease it. [For her, it is, at the very least. It's her original power she is trying to reactivate, just in case she'll need it in the future. She still has no idea over her other powers yet.]

Oh! There are actual places to dance in now!? [She's been so busy trying to find the more natural aspects of Heropa that she hasn't tried to go deeper into the city during the night hours. The stars and moon especially seen close to the beach sounds like a better spot to be in.] Ah, then you're in charge of the music assemble that will be playing? That sounds like a great job! Much better than being a Wholeness Mentor. [Which she has no idea what it is, exactly.] I'll look forward to it. Is there anyway I can get a map to visit you while you work?

Re: ( video )

[hasitsthorns]

Well, I hope you do soon!

[ That's alright, Rose doesn't know of her powers besides the ones she had back home. Those all still seem to be intact (except for her ice manipulation) but she hasn't discovered anything else. ]

There sure are! You should definitely come to my place to dance. [ Well. It's not hers, but... ] I'll play something special for ya'.

[ And she sends across the address to her club. ] If that doesn't work for you, I can draw a little map no problem.

( video ) sorry for lateness! been having internet issues this weekend.

[drizzle]

Thanks! Don't be alarmed if it rains at random once I do.

[Because there will be a lot of tinkering in figuring things out after that. That is, if this world's weather isn't similar to her own world. There is no need to mess with the world's atmosphere and all.

There will be a light laugh at the invitation. She couldn't help find the other girl's enthusiasm to be contagious. Now she is beginning to understand the reason she was given the job that she was given -- she was good at it.]

Club Bjomolf, was it? I don't think I can reject an invitation like that one bit. I'll definitely expect whatever song you want to play in my stead. But I wouldn't mind performing a duet with you in the future and dancing too. You have a nice singing song.

[The moment she was given that address, Nike will shake her head.] No worries. I think I can figure it out. We do have that....map thing on our devices, right? I know those who brought us here did make mention of that. Unless I'm wrong...?

( video ) no problem! living in china, i definitely understand internet issues

[hasitsthorns]

I'm all about random rain so no worries there.

[ At least now she'll know the cause of any sudden downpours. ]

That's the one! [ Aw, shucks. Nike will have to wait to find out just how good at her job she actually is, but she'd appreciate the vote of confidence regardless. ] Ah, shucks. It's not that great. But a duet and dancing sounds totally awesome by me. I don't get to perform with other musicians often.

[ A lot of roadies (and groupies) had musical inclination but not all. So she sometimes played with them in the down time but sometimes things were just too busy. ]

Yeah, we should have GPS. It's kind of like a map that tells you where to go.

[ video ]

[dualismum]

it's always good to see newcomers excited to be here. [ much better than the usual "this sucks and everything sucks and everyone sucks" ]

[ video ]

[hasitsthorns]

Why wouldn't people be excited to be here? I got a super sweet new job and super powers! It's a total win-win.

[ Well. For Rose it's nothing but a win since she really didn't have an ideal situation back home. If she stopped to think about it, she'd probably realize leaving lives (family, friends, businesses) behind might be kind of difficult. ]

[ video ]

[dualismum]

Most people consider this kidnapping, I guess.

[ video ]

[hasitsthorns]

Well, I am a willing captive in that case.

[ Since in her case, it didn't matter that they didn't ask. She was happy to be here regardless. It wouldn't have been nice, she supposes, to have a bit more warning but. Eh. That makes her wonder though... ]

Do you consider yourself 'kidnapped'?

[ video ]

[dualismum]

Ah... A bit. Sort of? I do enjoy this place, but I've things I need to do back home.

[ video ]

[hasitsthorns]

[ Well. She's, uh. She's pretty sure she's dead back home. So there is that. ]

That makes sense! I guess it would be kind of inconvenient to be plucked away from everything all of a sudden.

What did you do back home? Something important and cool? Is it top secret? I bet it's top secret. You can tell me, I swear I won't tell anyone.

[ NEVERMIND THAT THIS IS AN OPEN FEED... She's just joking, of course. Keeping things light is her style, so. ]

[burnseternal]

I must say, I quite like your song -- and your glasses as well! I am certain that you will bring some new business to your place of employment.

[Does he know what they're for, or what they mean culturally? Absolutely not. But they're certainly entertaining.]

And, I must add, welcome to this new world. It is good to see one arrive in bright spirits.

video

[hasitsthorns]

[ Doesn't matter if he knows as long as she still looks cool! She doesn't, but he thinks she does so that's a win in her book. ]

Why, thank you! I hope that I bring in some business... because, hey, the more the merrier. Right?

[ GRIN. ]

You're not the first person to say that, but I can't imagine why all this wouldn't be exciting! [ That's only because everything here is already infinitely better than back home though, to be fair. ]

video

[burnseternal]

Many people do not take kindly to being forcibly removed from their homes. A sentiment I can understand, of course, but I do agree with you to some extent; for all of its troubles, this is a good place, with good people. I hope that you may maintain your positivity throughout your stay.

But first, perhaps, I should introduce myself. I am Saint Walker! It is good to meet you, Rose.

video

[hasitsthorns]

Well, I mean, when you put it like that...

[ Rosie, that's the only way to put it. ]

I think I'm still too new to say too much, but. I hope you're right. [ Her 'home' situation wasn't all that great. ]

It's good to meet you too, Saint Walker! Can I just call you Walker?

video

[burnseternal]

Yes, you may! And may I in turn inquire: what precisely is a DJ?

video

[hasitsthorns]

Alright, then! Walker it is.

[ GASP. Okay, well. It's not a really dramatic gasp. But still! ]

DJ stands for disk jockey. Basically my job is to announce and play super cool music. Mix it together. Make it sound really good so people wanna' dance and have fun! [ Her excitement about the job - if it wasn't obvious before - is practically palpable. ]
