Sessions Worlds and Stuff

[:]? @? [:]) @) *they gather around to look at the keyboard*
Learning music has a little in common with learning to read. See the letters? There are seven main notes, and they each are named the same as a letter.

0u0 It can be a little tricky... *taping at the board,* 'Do Me So Do'
|/=@] *are paying attention, so they can try and repeat information later if need be*
( ^ w ^ ) *liked the sound*
= = it might be good to make a book on learning music. =
7B? *no drums. Nyx figures to go back to coloring stuff*
[Tu!] ? [T~!] *realized that their face had flipped* [}|{] [!uT] 'Re Me La Do'

][(oO] =[|:|Oo]

[:]D We want to try! *eagerly slams hand down on keyboard, playing several notes at once*
@) hehe!
That's the idea. Don't hit it too hard, though!

0u0 lets just go through the keys one by one. that will be a good way to hear them properly. ^u^ *happily points at the first key, ready to move to the second after they push it*
|/=^]
= let me know if you want anything. =
( | w | ) >:going to think stuff up with mom;
[!uT] 'do re mi fa so la ti do!'
7B3 *happily coloring*

][:oo] =[|:|o3]

*smiles at Dots*
[:]) *presses the key*
@? @) *reading the letter on the key* c!

][(oO] =[|(|Oo] *workin' hard*

7B3 *drawing*

=8) ( 0 W 0 ) *fiddling about with routing connections between them to sync up things like mixing music*

|/=^] "see? music is easy. you two are already making it."
[!uT] *seems happy, kind of wanting and not wanting to play a song, for both fear and desire of what they might end up playing if they just let things flow naturally*
^u^ Great job! *Music lessons could continue on for a while. Ribbon knew a good bit about music, but she knew a bit more on instruments themselves than actually playing music*

*and Sophie knows rhythm and reading notes, but not too many instruments, so they balance out*
[:]D @D *they like the sounds, and feel accomplished for "making" something*

^u^ You two are doing great! 0u0 it might be good to take a break for now though. its not best to spend to much time learning one thing.
|/=^] "lets just end it off with one last scale. from the first C, to the second."
[!uT] *is trying to think of activities to do next. lunch is in a little while*

=8) ( 0 w 0 ) *have been sitting still, working on trying to make music*

7B3 *had tried drawing the 'piano/music lessons', getting general shapes and colors of everyone, except with big round heads so he could try and fit faces in them easy*

][)oo] =[|)|oo] *seem to have overdone it. they're a bit tired, and coming over to get some well deserved water* =[|)|3o] HoooooO... =[|:|3o]

[:]D *saying the letters as they press them* C D E F G A B C!
@D *at the same time, having picked up the other names for notes from Dots* doremifasolatido! *and comes in to press the last C themself*
Very good. ...you alright Marlow?

|/=^] "perfect." |/=@]
^u^ Excellent work you two! 0u0
=[|:|3o] ThroatS TireD. *gets a glass of water*
][:3o] We'll be fine. *gets one as well*
[!uT] What should we do next? would the woods be a good place to go?
^u^ 0~0 hmm. 0u0 well, there are lots of plants we could learn about in the woods. maybe we could find something that would be good for Baby. ^u^
7B3 ? ! 7BD "outside time?"
=8) ( 0 w 0 ) *have somewhat lost track of time with their messing about*

Okay, good.
@o baby!
[:]o *alarmed that they'd forgotten about their pet in all the new things, they hurry over to the turtle pen*
*...Baby's been chilling, as turtles are wont to do*
@) ...isokay.
[:])

[!uT] a good job watching over them.
0u0 ^u^ thats good.
|/=@] "do you agree with this idea?" |/=^] *asking you your opinion on activities, namely, going into the woods*
=8) ( 0 x 0 )
][:Do] Ahh...
=[|:|Do] AhH...
7B3 "vote outside."

I think outside would be nice...should we tap Onponn and Jofie, see if they want to come along?
[:]) Baby has food.
@) hibaby.

][:3o] that'd be... *gulps down some more water* Tapping them may be best. ][:3o]
=[|:|3o]
|/=@] *nodding, they go to tap Onponn on the shoulder*
=8) =8? yea? =X? wait? = outside? =
( 0 w 0 ) ? ( | x | ) >:Wha?;
( | w | ) >:Outside is nice;
7BD "Heeheehee!" 7B3 *starts tossing art supplies back into the box*
0u0 it may be good to give them fresh water as well. after you take care of that, lets help Nyx clean. ^u^ *goes to help sort supplies, trusting that water can be handled*
[!uT] There's so much we can find out there.

[:]) Okay. *they pick up Baby's water bowl and head over to the sink, careful not to spill what little water is still in there*
@)
Yes, there's lots of opportunity for adventure. *Sophie's eyes are on Hamnet and Factor, just in case they spill or otherwise have trouble, but she keeps at a distance and lets them handle it*

7BD "YEA!" *a new adventure every day* *life is good, no matter the surprises that may await*
0u0 we'll want to bring bottled water with us.
|/=^] "And magnifying glasses." |/=@] *join in with cleanup. another moment, and it'll be cleared*
= we should check in with Genral while we're out there.
( | w | ) >:Hope we find something undiscovered.
=[|:|33] AnD SomethinG NeW.
][:33] ... ][:] lets just be sure to be careful.
[!UT] *everyone has high Hopes for a great trip* [!uT] ... [!~T] ... [!uT]

[:]) @) *they're careful, and replacing the water and returning the bowl to Baby's pen is done without trouble*
[:]D *hurrying back over to the others* Ready!
Heh, good. Me too.

^u^ good job. 0u0
7B3 *hurries to put the box away in the system before grouping up for adventure*
= *creates a case of bottled water, capchaloging it for later*
( | w | ) >:lets go!; *starts leading the way out*
|/=^] *plan on walking beside Hamnet and Factor*
][(] *plans on sticking to the back*
=[|:|33] *takes a second moment to make sure they are more used to flying about now before continuing on*
[!uT] maybe we can find some ruins.

[:]) *head on up, walking near the darkmatter, Sophie, and Ribbon*
@? ruins?
They're places where somebody else built something a long time ago. Long enough that sometimes the buildings are old and falling apart, or "ruined".

|/=^] "Not always 'ruined'. I know that there are a few ruins made to be. controlled collapse. if you can know how things are to break down, then you can make things to end up exactly as you intended. keys in chests behind walls, pillars fallen where stairs have failed. Time can be a better lock than a timer itself." *they seem rather enthusiastic about the idea behind ruins. likely having a hand in making and going through a few themselves*
^u^ sounds like your quite a fan. 0~0 but, I would prefer not entering any if we find some. they could be unstable. 0~0
][(] well thats part of the fun. ][:]
=
][:] ah, but yea. safety first. ][(] ... ][|] ][:]
= maybe there are some neighbors we've never known about. I would prefer a place where people are still around than an old ruin.
7B3 "just wanta explore around."
( ^ W ^ ) *smiles as they make it out into the sun*
=[|:|33] WE WilL... =[|??] ... =[|:|33] ProbablY FinD LotS OF TreeS.
[!uT] Thats true.
