"Mmh..."
Relspi doesn't answer, eyes flickering almost half-closed as she seems to... bask in something for a moment.

Alex, who couldn't see Relspi, simply comments.

"It's okay if it takes you a while to put it into words. We have time."

"Oh. If it would make you upset for me not to, I will."
She picks it back up, and stows it away in a pocket.
"...this is confusing."
She nods.

Alex smiles and squeezes her hand. "Thank you."

After which, he flops back onto his bed, into the same position, repeating the same offer, feeling the same inscrutable sense of pain.

"Johannes' bed is free if you want somewhere to sit. Or I suppose you could sit at the end of mine. If you want to stay here and talk to me, that is."

Emilia had been silent since she awoke, and remained silent still. She was even only partially aware of the strange swamp people. What she was focusing on was her own body.

It felt... Different. Lighter, somehow. Springier. Almost like she could fly away, but of course she knew she could not do that, as she had no wings. Maybe the fight with the monkeywasps had strengthened her, somehow. She no longer even felt afraid of heights (though she had never been particularly fearful to begin with), even standing at the top of the tallest spire she could imagine would not daunt her in the slightest now now.

It was odd. 

She nods again.
"These are all very nice songs. I will need to learn them."
Another nod.

"That's wonderful!"

Rel could see in Alex's eyes that he was truly happy. He takes out a piece of paper, and a pen.

"Point out to me which ones you like and I'll write them down for you!"

And there was also...
Alex blushed.

"U-um, also, if you'd be fine with it, w-would you like to hear me play some time in the future? I-if this place has any instruments, that is."

Alex was overjoyed to see Rel's reaction. It was as if beholding color for the first time.

"It would be extremely complicated to explain in full detail, but simply put it takes a recording of the music, an imprint, stores it, then plays it back to you. Imagine the sound travelling into a bottle and being stored, later released, but the bottle can release the sound it stored infinitely rather than only once."

After the song ends, Alex begins to cycle through some of the music in his device, switching through a massive variety and observing Relspi's reactions, changing when she seemed when she might not enjoy it so much.

"That song was my favorite... You might like these other ones less, or you might like them more. I just hope you find what you like among them."

What's on my mind is full claiming my role and then using an action on you tonight. If I die and show up as something other than the fullclaim, everyone will know you lied about your abilities, potentially to discourage investigative night actions from targeting you. If I survive and my role is not changed, I'll personally know you were lying, though there'd be no real way to convince the others.

"Why?"
Her skin is remarkably cold to the touch.
"You haven't told me your favourite song..."

Alex realized he probably should have explained, and turned. His eyes pleaded with, almost begged Relspi to follow.

"Because... I want you to listen to it."

He didn't notice her strange skin temperature.

Rather than playing I might be interested in Co-GMing. Do you still need/want one, Xvar? Or have I disqualified myself by asking in this thread rather than posting?

Someone to at least bounce ideas off of would be both helpful and fun. I'm still in the market for a Co-GM, yes. If you're really interested, can we hook up in Skype, Steam or some other instant message client sometime? If not, back-and-forth via PM will work. Send me a PM in that case, or find me on Skype -- my Skype account name is right there below my posting picture.

Could Discord be a potential option? It's more useful than Skype, honestly. I can do either though, so if you don't have Discord add "uxlz00" (Uxie) as the other option.
