[F27-PP] When Words Fall

[CC 0]

The streets of Ordsea continued in a peaceful retelling of its own past. The raids long cleared and players had long moved on. Most didn't even come here anymore, finding that the various cities made the floor far too safe to need there direct intervention. There were bigger fish to fry, more rewards to gain elsewhere. The simplicity of its architecture, the relative calm left much to the imagination. What it failed to present outward was deceptive, for inside the walls of the homes that dotted its territory were all manner of convenience and regality. The shelves of stores were stocked to the brim, the citizens intelligent and well versed. A paradise, far beyond the hustle and bustle of the players who wished to rush around 'hitting things' like a bunch of barbarians.

Three permits, and a few well placed words bought but a single player solace and isolation. One that could easily battle a silver tongue with even Ordsea's elite and could find even them convinced. Her allure, her style and her grace could melt the heart of even the most hardened man. But what really sold it, was that pop star smile.

Red velvet seats lay dormant and bare, as long red drapes hang from brass bars that clung overhead. A theatre that had staged all manner of fame, was about as comfortable as the woman could find to call home here. Lights breathed dimly upon her, casting that barren room just beyond into a dark eye that would watch her every move in its shapeless and faceless mass. A facet of her life she'd been struggling to reclaim. Strings ring with the rake of a small metal triangle but a millimeter thick, ran gingerly as its pinched between an index and thumb sporting bright red nail polish. Long bubblegum pink hair drifting side to side as her head follows the potent rhythm breathing the whole building to life. The smallest gloss to her skin portraying just how much spirit went into every stroke. It brought life to where there was none, it lay bear her history upon her words. Success was pain, Victory was hers to claim. This is where her soul was its most free

She was the Top Spot Harlot

Appearing on floor 27 in the calm town of Ronbaru, Sam was starving. She had only been here a few times, some of the factions had amazing mouthwatering food. Glancing around, it was like a ghost town. Empty drawing boards and paper littered the sidewalks. Quickly she paces up to her destination, she was having a huge craving for steak that was filled with a thin layer of potato that was loaded with spices. When she made the request to Freya it was a hard pass, so now she comes to this large town for the crazy food. Her mouth started to water just from thinking about it. Stopping dead in her tracks, she could hear something familiar to her ears.

"No...No fucking way," saying as she rushed as fast as she could up the hill. "There is no chance in hell," standing at the top of the steep sidewalk looking in the distance. Seeing a fancy structure made of brick, she had to follow the music. Hopes and dreams started running through her head with a wide grin painted across her face. Crashing the doors open, she trails the echoing song that reverberates off the walls. Slowing opening another set doors to a large theater with rows of seats leading down to a huge platform. On that stage she sees a long pink haired woman playing a song that she listened on repeat back home. Rubbing her eyes to ensure that her vision wasn't playing tricks on her. It most certainly wasn't, she walks down one of the lanes toward the stage. This was the song that she had been practicing too, it was time to put it to the test. Pulling out her bass, she starts to play along with her idol. It was a bit nerve racking but she would try her best to match the pace.

The sudden strumming causes the girl to immediately stop playing, offering the darkness a squint as she tried to see through the high beams robbing her of the ability to see out. Getting down on her hands and knees, she'd lean off the stage to escape the lights and her eyes start to adjust to the shift. "Your a little...flat, tune string one up three quarters of a step." A black haired girl had randomly appeared out nowhere and had inserted herself into the venue and started playing. It was rather bold, CC could easily appreciate that fact.

*Thunk, Thunk, Thunk, Thunk, POP*

The string on that instrument of hers breaks under tension and rips itself off the head, the thicker bass string flung through the air like a whip and shatters a lit lantern on the right wall. The girl was riddled with a shocked expression as she'd become beet red, bubbling with the strongest embarrassment she'd probably ever felt in her life. CC couldn't help but find it endearing. "Uh, ok. Get up here." She'd lean down with an open hand, the sweet fragrance mixed with the hint of sweat. Offering her hand up into the blinding light, she'd help the girl who was stuck in the most obvious stupor. Obviously a past fan, given the response. "Here." She'd move to the stand and remove the recreated version of her Yamaha RBX-374 in Cherry Red finish. By the neck she holds it out. "Take it, its already tuned to Drop D."

Staring at the instrument that was being held out to her, it was only a replica but damn did it look exactly the same. Taking the bass carefully, she didn't want this one to break. Eyes fixated on it, "Yamaha RBX-374," was all Sam could say. It was something that she looked up back then, one of the things that was marked on her favorites list on the computer back home. The one that she would of bought would have been a replica too because the real one was being used obviously. Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest and she was trying so hard not to scream like a little girl. The last thing she wanted was to make CC deaf. "I uh... Thank you..." words fall to nothing, she never imagined in any life time that this would ever happen.

Flipping in into her hands, she starts to play the course of the song that was just being played. It sounded so much better than what she was working with originally. If felt almost untouched, the strings seemed rough with each strum. She stops playing, her eyes look down to CC. Face was still flustered, she was trying really hard not to say or do something stupid. -OMG SAM SAY SOMETHING- is all she thought. "Sorry for the interruption, I just thought it would sound fuller with bass." A deep breath, this was all so much. She felt like at any moment she would pass out. That could NOT happen, not now, that would make this day the worst. "If you don't mind me asking, what happened to the other Top Spot Harletts?" She could feel the heat on her cheeks, she was talking to the famous Cotton Candi. Looking down she began to play again but this time a different song of her Idols band.
