@daylit; audio.
Hey guys! It's Daylight again and I have a new update for the spirit language project! I was hoping to release one last month but things were... you know...
...
....
..... hectic.
[ yeah. let's go with that. ]
So! Right! For those who are new: The project I'm talking about is all about attempting to understand the language of the spirits more and making it more accessible for others. In January, I figured out some new phrases and words we could use with them. This month, I think we've made some real progress again!
[ day goes on to explain what the progress exactly is and, to his credit, it does seem to be a lot of advancement. in the past month, the following was tackled:
with the significant help of elle and duster, the following instruments have been transcribed to play the spirits' melodies: the piano. the double bass. the bongos. the kazoo.
(day makes a note to mention that he listed them in order of progress, so they should keep that in mind.)
there was also major progress in cracking the spirits' language itself! one of the things day discovered is that the spirits' treat the use of musical instruments more like 'accents' than anything else. wind musical instruments are easier for the spirits to understand than, say, percussion instruments.
the further one deviates from the original instrument (the ocarina), the heavier the 'accent' the speaker is using when speaking with spirits. it makes it harder for the spirits to understand but long as you finish what you're saying and give them time to answer, they should reply back.
when he finishes explaining the major discoveries and progress: ] This will be all added to the spirit language app that we have on the tablet. The app also has the packet of phrases and words I found so you're free to practice those too. Ocarinas can be found in the general store, free of cost, and feel free to reach out towards Elle and Duster if you want to take a crack of the instruments they transcribed!
Um- What else...? Oh! Like before, if you guys have any questions about how to play the music or the instruments, let me or the others know! We'll do what we can to help each other out while we're here! Thanks for listening!
[ and, with that, daylight ends the audio- but not fast enough, because he fumbles a bit with the tablet. it'll allow some people, if they have sharp hearing, to hear the following as day mutters under his breath: ]
Next mission: Figuring out how music boxes work. What the heck am I supposed to do with-

no subject
I'd like that! Drawing new things is fun.
[She recalls the odd spirit she'd seen during the races.]
Not too much. I remember watching the races but there was this odd large spirit that hadn't acted like any of the others. It hadn't said anything but it was... different. I have a drawing of it somewhere.
no subject
a large odd spirit that hadn't acted like any of the others...? day is going to presume it meant the spirit was still around then and hadn't launched themselves into the sky during the aurora borealis event. ]
If you don't mind, could you send a picture of it over? [ wait- no- ]
Or, hm, I could go to you, wherever you are? We can hash out more details about the deal in person while we're at it, too.
no subject
I can wait here or meet you there.
[A beat.]
I live at the Landmark Inn.
no subject
when he has that written, he says in a cheerful voice, ] I can meet up with you at the bonfire then! If you already have plans to go there, I can just meet up with you since I have nothing else to do at the moment. And- We can be drawing buddies and stuff!
If, um, that's okay with you, of course.
no subject
Of course it's okay. I can't wait to see you again and I love having friends to draw with. I draw with Jason and there is a girl named Mary who draw too. [They should form a club.]
I'll see you there.
( action! )
when he arrives at the bonfire, he isn't hard to spot thanks to his status of being the tallest individual. ]
Hey! It's me! Day!
[ ... but, just in case, he makes himself known upon reaching the agreed-upon meeting spot. he even has one of his sketchpads out, waving it in the air to show it's him! hey!! ]
( action! )
[She remembers the brief introduction between Day, herself and Sora. Not that it isn't easy to recognize him. He is so much taller than anyone else she's met in Beacon and seeing him always makes her smile just a little wider.]
Hello Day. It's good to see you.
[Naminé has her own sketchpad clasped against her chest.]
Do you want to sit by the fire?
[It's warm, there is enough room for both of them and the bonfire makes seeing things easier.]
no subject
Sure! [ it's nice to see her in-person again and he thinks she looks well, which is a relief with how weird the last few months have been. ] It's still pretty chilly out right now, so sitting by the bonfire would be nice.
It'll be nice to get some better lighting from my sketches. I feel like some of my drafts right now are pretty wonky with how I can't see certain things. [ he rubs the back of his neck as he laughs a bit, more at himself than anything because he definitely needs to get more practice under his belt.
day sits down on the ground, crosslegged, to show he's game for this. he does his best to not take up too much space. he opens his sketchbook to find a fresh page, revealing a collection of colourful sketches of landscapes he worked on in the past.
(though the blending of yellows look a little... strange. hm.) ]
no subject
Naminé takes a seat by the fire and pulls her sketchpad onto her knees. Her expression is soft as she lifts the book and hands it up to him to look through. The drawing on the open page is to the strange spirit she'd met. Her drawings were colorful but drawn with pencils like sketches. They were accurate backgrounds but the people had slightly larger heads than they probably should. It's just her style.]
I like it. It's very pretty.
Is this a picture of somewhere here?
sorry for the delay!
but- yes-)
daylight is peering at her work for so long, admiring the drawings, that he almost doesn't catch her comment and question. he's totally not squeaking in surprise and trying to catch himself now. oh no- ]
Um- Yeah! It's when I was travelling with my shipmates. We were on shoreleave and... hang on... [ daylight opens turns the page of the landscape over, trying to see if he had written any notes about it. ] Yeah! Shoreleave. It was a sight I had to capture.
[ he smiles now, rubbing the back of his neck in a sheepishly fond manner at the memory coming back to him now. ] Even if Emer was hollering at me the whole time for leaning over the fence. Had to make sure I got it, you know?
