Crawling without Limbs - Egahi - Feb 23 2016
RE: Crawling without Limbs - Romeo - Feb 25 2016 Romeo plodded on, the heavy weight on his back slowing him down, causing his back to ache and his muscles to creep onwards. His noisemaker, a big old chunk of wood lying across his back, was more than a little bit of a burden. But Romeo refused to leave it behind. He feared the silence more than he disliked the heaviness or the aches, or the fear that he might break it... To anyone else, the noise-maker might have seemed like more trouble than it was worth, but Romeo dared not even consider the thought. the sounds it made were perfect, fascinating, and they kept him company when there were no other voices to hear apart from his own. but Romeo often hummed to himself as he moved, and Today was no different. Except that today, as well as the vibrations in his chest, there were tiny murmurs growing too. He knew that it had the potential to become something far, far more beautiful and hung onto that thought, slowly experimenting with it, teasing it into reality. "Darkness, light, crystals sprawling... ah, um... all the... caverns deep and beautiful... mysterious... humm..." He hadn't gotten very far with that dream quite yet, but well, he was working on it. As Romeo looked up, he noticed what looked to be a white line or some sort of worm, snaking and winding its way across the ground a short distance away. It reminded him a little, of the very first being he'd met in the caves. Only, this one was bigger. Far, far bigger. He was intrigued, and settled down, allowing his noise-maker to slide off with a small clunk onto the stone floor beside him. "Well, hello there?" he called curiously, pulling at the strings of his noisemaker idly to banish the gaping silence. "Who might I have the pleasure of being with?" He allowed his words to drone and trail a little. Aha. perhaps this was the way forward... @Egahi RE: Crawling without Limbs - Egahi - Feb 28 2016
RE: Crawling without Limbs - Romeo - Feb 29 2016 The serpen spoke to him, and Romeo was hard pressed for a response. Calling? What did she mean by that? But, not wanting to disappoint, Romeo ran his claws over the strings of his noise-maker. "I am Romeo! My calling is to raise my voice and banish silence from the caves." he declared nobly, puffing out his chest so that his heart could be seen beating strong and true beneath the window-like clear quartz upon his chest. "And what's yours?" the raccoon dog asked the cobra curiously, keeping protective claws resting on the instrument beside him. With every word he plucked the strings, making a tiny sound. It went rather nicely alongside his voice, and he felt shivers riding up and down his spine. Excellent! He felt as though he was actually getting somewhere. The pride shone clearly on his face. @Egahi ((OOC- Don't worry about it! Short posts are just as fun to reply to! ^w^)) |
