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.

[ there we go! maybe it's a case of spotty connections. beacon isn't actually... technology-driven at the moment, given its current world state and stuff. ]

Sure! I'm not good as telling stories like Dialup or even Emer but I can try my best! And, if I can't hack it, I can always draw very impressive stick figures. :P

Are you staying anywhere in particular? I can drop by your place in the future and shoo the wind with you anytime!

[arsarcanum]

a fellow stick figure kinda guy huh
we're gonna get along great

i'm in the library! i've got a cot in the teen fiction section but we can hang out at the tables as long as we keep it down
the librarian's pretty cool i don't want to make things hard for them

[sunborne]

Oh! That's a really good place to stay while the winter is going on. The Librarian, from what I heard, is really nice!

Just make sure to leave no messes and definitely no taking books out without them knowing about it.

[ all librairans' prioritiy of things are eternal, it seems. ]

Do you need anything from the general store? I can swing by and get something for you so your stay there is more comfortable. Hopefully, we find more areas you and the others can properly live in soon.

[arsarcanum]

they're nice! they're SO nice!! i kinda thought they were gonna be kind of quiet but they're really funny and cool! they helped me find some books earlier today and they were really happy to help! i didn't think that the book i told them to find even existed... i'm gonna have to cook something REALLY good to thank them!

[ !!! WHAT AN OFFER! What a sweetheart!! ]

someone on the network told me that they were checking out some places close to beacon with more rooms, so i'm hoping that works out!
but for right now, i think i'm good! i just have to stick it out through this blizzard, and the librarian's here so it's not lonely at all :)
if you just want to come by and hang tho i'd be down!
i wanna see you again :D

[sunborne]

[ awwww- that's really nice of the librarian to do. day is happy to hear that someone's experience with a spirit has been such a positive one. with how hard he's trying to make the language more accessible and open to the others, he hopes this happens more often.

and now he wishes he had gotten a gift for them as well during the winter holidays but! lesson learned: get something nice for the equally nice librarian. ]

I'm really happy to hear that! It's good to know you're in safe and welcoming company for the blizzard ahead of us.

I'll definitely drop by and check on you when I can. :D Not gonna let you get out of those stories so easily, buddy. But you take care until we meet up face to face, okay?

[arsarcanum]

[ the librarian is going to get so very spoiled in the next year until then. SO VERY SPOILED. ]

lol yeah come and get me! >)
you take care of yourself too! i'll keep practicing with this.

[ And one last audio file - thank you! ]

[ daylight giggles at both the message and the attachment, feeling happy that someone is so interested in learning the spirit language.

as his parting message, daylight gives this attachment in return:

welcome, friend! goodbye but one day! ]
