@daylit; audio.
Hey guys! So, I made a post about studying the language a month or so, right? I made progress on it! Not a lot of progress but some progress? With words and everything? Got a few phrases and descriptives and stuff like that!
Hmmm... It'll be easier to explain this if I demonstrated it to you guys, right? Right- I'll use the ocarina for this but, um, I promise, we'll try to transcribe the melodies to other instruments soon. Anyways-
[ daylight then proceeds to play a series of melodies and notes, taking his time to explain what they mean and how to play it on the ocarina.
when he finishes his little demo, he continues talking: ] Later, in the day, I'll add all of this stuff to the spirit language app we have on the tablet here. So you guys can practice it for yourselves if you want to do that.
And... Um... For the next few months, I'll be more focused on trying to crack the grammar of the spirits' language since I think the lexicon - I think that means the total words and stuff? (sorry, grandma!) - is robust enough that I don't need to keep digging for new combinations to the phonetics anymore.
So yeah... That's it! If you guys, like, have questions about how to play the music and, er, stuff- Let me know? I'll try to answer what I can.

But I'm not really sure how to describe it.
They were wondering who I was so I told them. In my beast form, I told them.
Then a big guy with a mirror mask showed up and tricked me into abandoning my lantern so that took up most of the rest of my evening, heh...
1/2 GAG TAG.... BECAUSE I COULD......
2/2 FOR REAL NOW
[ daylight sounds surprised by the last bit and also... worried?
yeah. there's no denying the worry in his voice. ] I don't think I ever came across a spirit who fits the description like that! Weird that they tried to take your lantern from you... Were they... Hm. [ how to describe it? ] Were they being, er, malicious about it? Like cackling evilly or something like that?
no subject
I had to chase them for a while, but they never said anything.
[A beat.]
The spirit smelled like onions.
no subject
Oh- Yuck.
[ onions. he did not like onions so day is certain he's never come across this one before. that smell would have been something he'll remember very, very well. ]
And you got your lantern in one piece since we're talking right now. [ day sighs in relief for him, glad to know he's safe. ] I'm glad they didn't try to, like, break it or anything. I felt my core stutter a bit when I heard that they stole it from you.
no subject
That was a rough moment.
[Pause.]
Your "core"?
no subject
he hums for a bit, trying to find the proper words for his explanation. ] Um- It's basically my, um, heart-and-soul equivalent. Pumps fuel into my line and keeps me alive and and can be located within my chassis. That sort of stuff.
no subject
Whoa, wait.
[Another pause as he processes this.]
So you're some kinda machine?
no subject
Yeah. Kinda. [ he clears his vocoder, needing a second to steel himself because oh wow- he forgot how nervewracking explaining this bit can be. ] I'm a hybrid, to be exact.
My mom was human but my dad was Galateion. That's, um, a 'mechanoid' where I'm from.
no subject
I don't think my world has anything like that...
[He trails off but there is an unmistakable note of curiosity in his voice. He has so many questions about how being half machine works but he's worried asking them would be rude.]
no subject
he laughs on his end, more amused than anything. ] If you have any questions about things from my world, you're free to ask questions! I'll be happy to answer what I can for you.
no subject
no subject
Okay! Um- I guess I'll start by, um, stating what I think are the facts of me? I think that can work.
[ soooooo... ] To get this out of the way, I'm a hybrid. My mom is a human and my dad is a Galateion, which is basically a mechanoid. I got my height and metallic build from my dad and my humanoid shape from my mom.
I can't do things like dream or cry or eat a lot of food since my filters are super picky. I'm... old enough in my dad's units - [ meaning he's around the 'i'm a teenager and refuse to admit it' age group. ] -but I'm 121-years-old, turning 122 in a few months!
