The Song of the Forgotten

    It was a pleasant afternoon at Discovery Park. While winter was just around the corner, the temperature made it feel more like an early spring day. With the weather being so nice, there were plenty of people that had come out to the park on that afternoon. There were plenty of families around, enjoying a nice afternoon picnic. Couples also plagued the park benches, kissing and sweet-talking each other without a care in the world. Even the birds were chirping happily in the trees, as if the whole thing was a scene out of a movie; picture perfect.

    There were a few street vendors scattered around the park, as well as some street performers. With so many people out on that day, it was the perfect opportunity for them to make a little money. Everything seemed to be going well, but things are usually not what they seem...

    Discovery Park wasn’t far from where L’aire worked. It was a lovely place to take a break sometimes, or just people watching. The warm weather brought a lot of people to the park today, more than usual it seems.

    The amount of couples hanging on the benches, or in little inlets beneath the trees was unsettling. Although they would be endearing to everyone else, and probably several photo ops for amateur photographers, L’aire cringed a little. Yet much less than when she first arrived back in Sacramento, maybe she was becoming numb to that emotion.

    Wearing jeans, a blouse and brown leather jacket, the Fairest stopped to watch some street vendors. With such an open park, she kept her eyes peeled because anything was possible with a Dragon roaming around.

    Sam lingered in the park, a coffee in hand. He was dressed in his most casual suit, which was just a suit without the jacket, for a walk around the park, and he had picked up a cup of coffee from one of the street vendors. Now he wandered around from edge to edge taking occasional sips, pausing every now and then to watch a street performer run through his and/or her routine. He kept away from the couples sitting on the benches, though; no reason to bother them in their moment of love by being creepy in their general vicinity. Unless they bothered him. Then he might take petty revenge. It was only fair.

    As the pair of Lost wandered through the park, enjoying the serenity of the place, their attention was drawn to some unusual music. The source didn't sound too far from where each of them stood, and the melody was strangely alluring to their ears. It was somewhat hard to tell what instrument was being played at first, but as the two of them walked closer to where the melody came from, it started to sound like a flute being played. However, as far as they could tell, there was no street performer playing a flute around them.

    Please roll Perception. Also, feel free to recognize/interact with each other, since both have been drawn towards the source of the music

    The walk through the park carried her toward the sound of a beautiful melody. It was light and airy, much like herself. The tune rang through pleasantly, unlike similar notes that could be piercing.

    But the closer she got, the more she realized she wasn’t sure where it was coming from. The Dancer looked around, then upward to the trees. Pivoting, she checked behind her as well and that’ when she spotted the Wizened.

    “Hey Sam.” Smiling to greet him, seeing the cup in his hand. “Oh, I must have missed the coffee. I was distracted by something over this way but now… hmm.”

    Sam's wanderings brought him hither and thither, subject only to the whims of fate and his random desires. Which is why, when a strange music started resonating through the park, he was perfectly happy to follow it to what seemed to be its source. Of course, once he got there, he couldn't find anybody around who was making it. He did find one of his new friends, however. "Hi Sasha." He took a sip of the coffee in subject and shrugged. "There was a stand...somewhere. Yeah, I got distracted too. The music?"

    As the pair talked amongst each other, the mysterious music continued. What's more, it sounded as if some of the birds nearby joined in on the song. Out of the corner of her violet eyes, L'aire caught a glimpse of a couple sitting on a bench nearby. They were laughing merrily, as if nothing in the world bothered them at all. Sam spotted them too, and as soon as he did he recognized the pair. How couldn't he? After all, he had been the one who had orchestrated their reunion.

    It doesn't take too long for the Dancer to also recognize Richard and Hannah, who seemed to be just as in love as when they first saw each other in the coffee shop. Once again the rush of emotions was palpable. Clearly it was the power of true love, inundating the air around the Lost. It was exhilarating, and rather enticing. As usual, it invited them to savor the exquisite Glamour that came from it all.

    “Yes, very distracting. But I like it.” The music was inviting to the Fairest’s nature, it conjured the want L’aire had to dance to it’s rhythm, but she would resist for now.

    Eventually, the Fairest spotted the couple from the coffee shop. It brought a slight smile to her lips. But the strange music made her stop and think. Whispering to Sam. “Ya know, I want to go say hi to them. See how they’re doing.”

    Her head tilted more to the Gremlin. “But… I wonder if this is where it began the first time. Maybe we should watch for a bit?”

    Samuel felt the emotions in the air, taking a taste just for a moment, letting himself be drawn in by the intoxicating scent, then violently returned to reality. He coughed once. "Ah, yes, you're right. But, what could go wrong? We're just saying hi, it's not like we're gonna eat their memories or anything." He took a moment to think through that. "That I'm, uh, aware of, anyway. At least...I hope not. That would be, uh, kinda weird." With that, the goblin started wandering over to the couple, taking his time and listening to the music. And the birds? The story went from like a fairy tale to really like a fairy tale.

    His heart dropped for an instant as he realized that, by fairy tale logic, this would not end well for him. Ugly little monsters didn't live long in those movies. He absentmindedly wondered whether he would end up under the heel of a scary overlord dressed all in black or a witch. Sam took a moment to steady himself, swallowing air to calm down, and continued to move forward, even though his limbs were shaking a little.

    As the two of them stood around talking and watching the couple, the music picked up slightly. The melody was almost intoxicating, and as it picked up, so did the birds that were chirping in unison to the music. At first it merely appeared to be the song of one of the street performer's, but as it continued, it became obvious that there was something off with the music; there was something rather powerful about it.

    Please roll Resolve+Wyrd
