3rd Orb - 19th of Rebirth's Decline; Evening

[shadedsunlight]

[It's been a long day. Too many long days, but today was particularly taxing between being set free from a curse and injuring the two people she loves most in the process, briefly attending a farce posing as a wedding, and returning as many of her ill-gained goods as possible.

That Ginia happened to find a piano in one of the rooms of the castle was perhaps one of the best things to happen all day. So seated at the piano, having traded her armor and dark clothes for a dress and the only jewelry a beautiful emerald and silver necklace, Ginia sets the orb on the piano, offering the briefest of smiles, being she begins to play.

After she finishes the first song, she pauses before she begins playing her next song.

There's another pause before her third song. It's one that takes a bit of thought and she's not even sure if the person who she wants to hear it is listening, but even if he isn't, maybe someone else will get the message for themselves. So taking a deep breath, Ginia begins to sing and play.

Her fourth, and final song, may be a little strange to anyone familiar with it. However, as Ginia sings and plays Silver Bells, it's intended for one recipient only. Everyone else can simply enjoy it.

Once she's finished, she bows her head modestly and smile as the orb.]

I hope you all enjoyed that. If... you'd like to hear more, I'd be happy to oblige.

((ooc; Yes, that's right, Ginia is talking. As per this log, Helios enchanted a necklace (picked out by Giles) that allows her to talk. The necklace only works if she's wearing it, magic-canceling abilities will prevent the necklace from working.))

[ Have some applause! ]

That was quite lovely!

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia gives a polite bow of her head.]

Thank you. Is there else anything you'd like to hear?

[tatra]

Oh, I don't think you'd be familiar with any of the songs from my homeland. But if you'd like, I would love to hear another song from yours!

[shadedsunlight]

Of course. Let me think.

[Another song from her world. There are so many Ginia hardly knows where to begin. But in light of all the weddings of the day - or at least all the attempted weddings, goodness knows if anyone was actually wed in the mess - Ginia goes for something a little classical and cheerful]

[tatra]

[ Tatra is delighted, and she listens respectfully. When the song is finished she sighs happily, then giggles. ]

You have a gorgeous voice.

[shadedsunlight]

Thank you, but true credit goes to the ones who gave it to me.

[tatra]

A marvelous gift, to be sure! But you make good use of it.

If it's not rude of me to ask, how long will the spell last? [ She knows magic when she sees it. And in their world medicine is 90% magic anyway ]

[shadedsunlight]

I'll treasure it always.

[The question catches Ginia off-guard, but she laughs lightly. She was mute, most everyone knew that, and now she's talking. Yes, it's not surprising people would consider magic as a cause. Her hand goes to her necklace.]

As long as I'm wearing the necklace, I'll be able to talk. And I suppose if there's nothing that would otherwise interfere with magical properties of the necklace.

[tatra]

That's a very impressive charm, and quite beautiful as well. My compliments to whomever crafted it.

[shadedsunlight]

That would be Helios. He's quite remarkable.

[tatra]

Well, it's a lovely gift and it was very kind of you to share it with all of us.

[shadedsunlight]

My mother always said music was something best shared with everyone.

[tatra]

She sounds like a very kind person.

[shadedsunlight]

She was, yes. The kindest I knew.

[tatra]

I'm sure she would be proud of you.

[shadedsunlight]

[A small pause follows. Ginia's smile fades slightly. With the life she's lead, she wonders if her mother would be proud or completely disappointed?]

...I hope so.
