1st Symphony - Intro!

[silentsymphony]

Who: Sona Buvelle and YOU!
Setting: All around the tower! Forward Dated to Sept. 14
Format: Starting action, will match
Summary: New to the tower, Sona starts to investigate!
Warnings: Sona cannot talk. Communication will be difficult. Otherwise, none to speak of!

Dormitory Levels

[Sona's daily to-do list is usually something along these lines: wake up, get ready, play the Etwahl for a while, fight on the Fields of Justice if needed, play more music, and maybe top of with a Pentakill concert. Throw some eating in there somewhere and it's any given day in the life of Sona. The following things were not on the list: wake up in a strange place in strange clothes, read a note claiming her world was destroyed, wonder how the hell her body even fit into this form-fitting bodusuit]

[But once she located her Etwahl - and breathed a sigh of relief that she hadn't been separated from it -it was time to venture forth. After all, there was no use complaining about the situation, especially when she didn't know what could be done about it]

[And so, having changed into her regular outfit, she roams the halls behind her instrument, hovering above the ground just slightly and gliding around as fingers expertly pluck at the strings, music filling the air and heralding her arrival]

All Around

[After her network post, it's time to wander! Everywhere Sona heads in the tower, she's heralded by the gentle tunes emerging from the Etwahl as it floats before her. It does stop for some time when she goes to eat the obligatory oatmeal, but other than that it follows her all around the tower. She eventually ends up in the music room, ignoring the other instruments in favor of her own. The music flows, but really, she's easily approachable. Will you do just that?]

*Enoch smiles a bit more at what he takes to be showing off her incredible ability to draw out specific emotions with something so simple as a tune. Her shy demeanor keeps him from realizing she's mute just yet, unfortunately, so he continues, thinking continued conversation might make her more comfortable.*

I've never seen an instrument like that before.

*Like...a very complicated lyre. More than just its value to turn the conversation to something that she would be confident about, Enoch was curious.*

[Sona nods excitedly, happy to 'talk' about her instrument. It's her lifeline to the world, after all, and it's something she knows intimately and loves. She holds up a single finger then points at the Etwahl, hoping he gets the idea that the instrument is one of a kind. It's then that she walks over to him, instrument hovering alongside her]

[Once he's next to her, she takes his hand, holding up one of his fingers and tracing it along the frame instrument deliberately, forming the letters of it's name]

[E-T-W-A-H-L]

Sorry for the lateness, I was waiting on a mod's answer for something.

*Enoch silently mouths the word as it forms, tentatively giving his voice to it as she relaxes her hold on his hand.*

"Etwahl"? An unusual name. I've never heard it.

*...It's clear now she can't speak. Do they all turn to music and dance, he has to wonder?*

...You certainly do well expressing yourself through it.

It's cool! Sorry for my own lateness, life attacked hard.

[She blushes a little and smiles happily, nodding at his statement. It's not the easiest thing in the world to do, but she tries to make do as best she can with her music, gestures and expressions]

[She points at the Etwahl, then herself before extending a hand and holding down it at a child's height. She had better be proficient expressing herself this way - she's been doing it since she was little. Really, Sona's more impressed that he's doing so well understanding her! The other Champions of the League have had practice with her, and even among them there are only a select few that can really communicate well (outside of the ones that can 'cheat' like Veigar can)]

No prob! Also if this isn't enough to reply to, just PM me and I'll try to think of something else?

*Enoch is not awkward at reading people - the distanced air he gives in his worst states is learned and practiced, not part of who he would be were he truly surrounded by mortals, or were he not blocking out the idea that even immortality is transient. He had to block that out or he would go insane, he can't live in isolation. He'll take the potential pain of separation over no companionship at all.

He also lived with a functionally mute person for a little over three months before finding himself in the tower, so that's helping him a great deal in paying attention to the little details needed to communicate effectively, as well, on top of his natural empathy.

The Etwahl...herself...and... It takes him a couple seconds to get "small" out of the last part.*

I see, so you're very practiced with it...
