5: What is coming is better than what is gone.

[nos_servabit]

Who: Jacob and YOUUUUU
When: Morning till late afternoon
Where: Near the plaza
Style: Whatever you want, I'll do.
Status: Open like your ears!

[There is a man sitting in the plaza.]

[He isn't at all out of the ordinary- no crazy hair colors or eye colors or anything amiss. Even his clothes are plain and simple, and honestly, he looks like the kind of man who you could spot in a crowd and just forget about instantaneously.]

[He's sitting on a bench while a large black chocobo with flowers tied around its neck rests near his feet. And in his hands is...what appears to be a lute. Huh.]

[There is a few seconds of silence, and then he starts playing, not even looking at his lute as he does so, as if he's gotten the whole piece memorized by heart.]

[And if you're passing by, he'll smile over at you, as if saying "You can come over and listen. I don't mind."]

[Say hi to your resident god figure, Vatheonites? He won't bite.]


[ooc: For all of you new players out there, this is Jacob from the TV show LOST and...he's a god figure in his canon who has powers of omniscience and such. Therefore, I have a handy-dandy permission post over here as to how much he can know about your character and such. Thank you!]

[It's the music that draws his attention but when he sees who's causing the lovely sound he grins, everything else he's doing forgotten. It can wait in favor of Jacob.

The vampire gracefully sat and slid himself up next to Jacob, his head coming to rest on the slightly taller man's shoulder, just listening to the music.]

Mmm...hello, Jacob.

[brbstealingpknm]

[Huh. Silver has to do a double take -

And ok yea, he's pausing to listen, trying to appear that he'd totally not listening what are you talking about?

Only, he totally is.] ...

Not bad. [Heh.]

[amnesiadragon]

[Ryu is wandering around with a blue chocobo, and he seems to be talking to her as well.]

... and then we'll go get you some food, okay?

[The chocobo nuzzles him, and he laughs a little, before they both perk up and stare in the direction of the music, heading that way.]

[... Oh. Neat. Ryu and his chocobo stand there for a bit, just listening.]

*Ghirahim is over here staring at you and wondering what in the world you're doing. It looks human, and it acts human...But Ghirahim has a knack for sensing things that are out of place. A unique property of metal, and of being a demon. The smile doesn't go without suspicion.

Nope, he's staying right where he is.*

[Wandering about Vatheon is pretty much all Asakura has been doing since she got here, and lately she hasn't found much to keep her attention.

Until she wanders into the plaza and hears the lute music, so hopefully Jacob doesn't mind having a teenaged girl stopping to listen to him play.

And stare.]

[Well, they say music soothes the savage beast, and Takaya does notice a marked quieting of Hypnos' usual power as he walks past Takaya. He stops, gun at his side, and listens for a bit. How... wonderful. A quiet moment to enjoy and live in. This isn't an opportunity he has often.]

[replicatedcourage]

[Sola's ears perk up when he hears the strains of music from the plaza. It's been quite awhile since he'd had the chance to simply sit and listen or maybe play too...

To that end, Sola sits at Jacob's feet, just listening for now as to not interrupt, but he does keep turning his ocarina over in his hands.]

[incinerare]

[It's the music which nets his attention and gets him to walk over and stand quietly by the bench listening. He can't see who's playing it, but whomever it is. They're rather good.]

[withoutasign]

[Signless hears the music, and is drawn to it like a moth to the flames. When he sees the musician, he just smiles. Seems like something his friend Jacob would do.]

Mind if I join you?

[He sits beside Jacob and pulls out the guitar he got from Demyx, strumming a few tentative chords. He's still a beginner, but he doesn't think Jacob will mind.]
