@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-

Like, if I have some rotten food with me, I can give a few in exchange for some actual food and supplies. That sort of thing. A couple once asked me to beat up a ghost that was bullying the others.
no subject
[ he knows remy - day feels a pulse of sadness when he thinks of the guy, hoping he's okay, wherever he is - had set up some markers for the trees where spirits lived and he was in the middle of making them proper houses.
perhaps making a trading centre for the ones who want somewhere to live and don't mind them could be a good idea...? that's an idea he keeps a tab of for another idea because you gotta focus, day! come on-]
I think that could work with the spirits here. Trading stuff with them, I mean. They're pretty... easy to please, once you get an understanding of them and how they work.
no subject
[Unfortunately, the nightclub might be more of their style.]
But they can give us any herbs or stuff they come across that we can use.
no subject
[ day doesn't think he'll ever go to the nightclub voluntarily by himself but- it would be a good venue to hold something musical related to them.
what no- day! come on! you gotta concentrate here. (and, with that, he actually remembers the original conversation topic that started his and duster's chat.) ]
Speaking of coming across the spirits... Do you think, um, you'd like to help out with me on something in the future? Dr. Solis mentioned the music box could be used with them but I never got around to- I don't know how to say it- Using it with them?
Don't know when I'll do it but is it something you'd be interested in?
no subject
[Who is he to refused a quest that can help many people?]
Do you want me to bring a torch?
no subject
[ daylight hadn't thought of asking for a torch from rastus, so duster asking if one should be brought really helps jog his memory. ] We both should bring a torch, probably. Never hurts to be too careful, you know?
no subject
[Yay for fire! With a big group, nothing can go wrong.]
