003 - it certainly feels as if one could never stop dancing
who: Sherlock Holmes and you
when: from about noonish onwards, on and off
location: the forest
summary: Holmes has become The Wonderful Musician and is standing on a roughly made wooden platform in the forest, playing. Come have a listen!
style: I prefer action but I'll follow you
status: so open it's getting cold in here
notes: So here's the idea: now that Holmes has a fiddle in his hand, his music is irresistible to animals and people alike! You can have your creature, be they animal, man, or something in-between, come and be enthralled with his music for a while, and then you can opt in to a little side-plot. Basically, in keeping with spirit of the original tale, you can pick a series of misfortunes to come upon your character after they leave his presence. Once your character leaves, they could be so distracted by the music leaping about their heads that they accidentally lose all of their gold pieces, forget where they were going to go, take a light tumble down a hill - whatever you'd like! The idea is to make them come into just a little bit of bad luck. No one has to get seriously injured or anything, and in fact would be more along the story if they didn't, but if that's the way you'd like to go, please do! I'm curious to see what everyone comes up with. :3
(Bonus points if your character is one of the three original animals and gets stuck in a trap. XD)
Characters are also welcome to 1) not be enthralled or 2) not come into any bad luck. It's entirely up to you, I just thought it was a fun idea.
While you're welcome to make their misfortune in this post (and if you do, I encourage and//or beg you to use it as a mingling post between yours and other characters! That would be not only encouraged but completely enjoyed, as I'd love to watch the chaos unfold *cackle* You could put your character's name and OPEN or CLOSED in your comment title; perhaps that will entice others to tag) you're also welcome to make posts on the network for it!
:3 Enjoy!
[anyone wandering through the forest currently might hear a strain of violin, somewhere among the trees. if they choose to find it, they'll come upon one (1) Mr. Sherlock Holmes, dressed curiously, in black slacks, red vest, large white baggy shirt, sharp and rough-looking black shoes, a colourful scarf; his hair is mussed but looks as if a hand has slicked it back somewhere in-between songs. he's tapping his foot as he goes along, and depending on the song you might even get a slight bit of a dance from him, skipping about the crudely constructed wooden platform he's standing on. the watchers might notice he seems somewhat stiff in the right shoulder, and doesn't get too incredibly intricate in his songs, but he seems otherwise all right. he could play anything from Irish folk music to a simplistic orchestral song, and anything in-between; very often it seems as if he's simply sawing away to whatever tune suits him. each song blends into the next, and he goes on for quite some time.
he pauses now and again, to breathe and slick his hair back from his forehead again. feel free to pester him during these moments, or simply sit back and watch! his music is so enchanting! it almost feels like magic.]
