  1. Sep 13 17:45:14 <Knave> From the gazebo in the courtyard, accompanied occasionally by a satisfied-sounding humming, there comes the unmistakable and disturbing sound of a ukulele being aimlessly tortured
  2. Sep 13 17:50:54 * Muninn (Memory@640-16-055-079.bois.qwest.net) has joined
  3. Sep 13 17:52:03 * MobileSavy (uid97480@wr-06451.ealing.irccloud.com) has joined
  4. Sep 13 17:53:10 <Complete_Zero> Jonathan, all dressed up like an old west merchant, decides to read in the gazebo. When he hears the harsh sound of the ukulele, he goes to investigate.
  5. Sep 13 17:53:44 <SirGoldFish> Charlie, a young looking lad with messy dark hair, is laying down under a tree. He was having a pleasant night's sleep until the ukulele murderer started strumming. He awakens, rubbing his head as if he had some headache. "Oh what is that ghastly sound?" He turns his head to the gazebo.
  6. Sep 13 17:54:05 * Kioku has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
  7. Sep 13 17:55:11 <Knave> Upon drawing closer, Jonathan can hear quiet, bad singing of the words, "I want you to want me, I need you to need me," The boy guilty of this singing is sat in the seat facing the gazebo entrance, eyes closed as he sings and strums.
  8. Sep 13 17:57:22 * Endtop (Mibbit@o653-652-179-102.abhsia.telus.net) has joined
  9. Sep 13 17:57:42 <Complete_Zero> Jonathan stops dead in his tracks at the gazebo entrance. Oh, God. What does he say? He goes for a simple greeting. "Uhm... Hello." He says weakly. Jon doesn't want to move from his spot, he just tucks in a book that's pinned under his arm and waits for a response.
  10. Sep 13 17:58:23 <SirGoldFish> Charlie stands up and moves to investigate the sound and the singing, finding Jon. He mumbles "Oh my..." He looks at Jon with concern. "Hello friend, are you sick? I may have herbs to help." He says in all seriousness. Digging and rummaging through his back. "Something for a sore throat..."
  11. Sep 13 18:00:28 <SirGoldFish> *Austin
  12. Sep 13 18:01:32 <Complete_Zero> Jonathan looks back at Austin and perks up a bit. "Uh, no. I'm fine. Just-- my throat's a little scratchy." He gestures to his neck. Jon looks back at the boy playing the ukulele and tries to speak louder over the sound of his playing and singing.. "Uhh. Hello?"
  13. Sep 13 18:02:04 <Knave> Ceasing his playing and opening his eyes to take in the company, Austin smiles, "Hey, Jon," Then, focusing on the other arrival, he says with confusion, "I'm fine, thanks, although I don't believe we've had the pleasure." Austin crosses the gazebo and offers his hand to Charlie, "I'm Austin."
  14. Sep 13 18:02:24 <Complete_Zero> (Err. Not Austin, he was gesturing to Charlie.)
  15. Sep 13 18:03:05 <SirGoldFish> (Charlie was saying all that to Austin, not Jon)
  16. Sep 13 18:03:26 <SirGoldFish> (Because bad singing. He said nothing to Jon.)
  17. Sep 13 18:04:35 * Muninn is now known as Kioku
  18. Sep 13 18:04:44 * ChanServ gives channel operator status to Kioku
  19. Sep 13 18:05:34 <SirGoldFish> Charlie accepts the hand shake. "Greetings Austin. My name is Charlie." He says with a smile.
  20. Sep 13 18:06:20 <Complete_Zero> "Uh, hey... Austin... err... You sure you want to.. uh... keep singing like that? I mean." He thinks for a moment before opening his mouth again. "I'm no singer myself, but, uhhhh, I don't think that'll be a hit with the ladies... y'know?"
  21. Sep 13 18:08:29 <Knave> Austin looks to Jon with a completely straight face and says, entirely deadpan, "Are you saying you didn't like my singing?"
  22. Sep 13 18:09:39 <Complete_Zero> Jonathan begins to mist from nervousness. "No! Err.. yes... what I mean is... it... needs /improvement/." HE tries to say this about as nicely as he possibly can, it comes out as submissive and nervous.
  23. Sep 13 18:12:05 <Knave> Austin breaks out into a smile and claps Jonathan on the shoulder, "I'm just messin', man, I know I suck."
  24. Sep 13 18:12:43 <SirGoldFish> "It was not quite good, my friend over there," he points to a tree. "Said it sounded like a diseased wood pecker. Not flattering and quite rude I know, but certainly with some work your skills can improve."
  25. Sep 13 18:15:19 <Knave> Austin looks at the tree. He leans forward very slightly to peer at the tree, its branches, and the surrounding environment, in an effort to discern what exactly Charlie meant. Then turning back to Charlie, he says very deliberately, "I would like you to explain further."
  26. Sep 13 18:16:21 <Complete_Zero> Jonathan doesn't say anything, but nods at what Austin said. ~Can he.. talk to trees? That's weird.~
  27. Sep 13 18:16:54 <SirGoldFish> "My friend Wallace the tree over there." He smiles but looks totally serious. "Yes, he is a good buddy of mine and a music critic."
  28. Sep 13 18:16:56 * Endtop is now known as AwayOrb
  29. Sep 13 18:18:17 <Complete_Zero> "Wallace the... tree?" He looks at said tree and looks back at Charlie like he's nuts. His expression eventually changes, though, realizing that he might have some magical ability to talk to plants and the like.
  30. Sep 13 18:20:02 <Knave> Austin looks to the tree, then at Charlie, then at the tree. Austin tilts his head. Austin looks back at Charlie, "What does Wallace hear with?"
  31. Sep 13 18:21:15 <SirGoldFish> Charlie smiles and laughs enigmatically. "Through me of course."
  32. Sep 13 18:22:08 <Knave> "Oh." Austin shrugs and nods, "That actually makes sense. I shoulda thought of that."
  33. Sep 13 18:26:32 <Complete_Zero> Jonathan looks at Charlie with a smile and an extended hand. "Hello. My name is Jonathan."
  34. Sep 13 18:29:20 <SirGoldFish> Charlie accepts the handshake dutifully and smiles. "Wonderful to meet your company."
  35. Sep 13 18:30:41 <Knave> "So, you talk to trees, huh?" Austin beams cheerily at Charlie.
  36. Sep 13 18:30:54 * Sleepbirb is now known as SolongStarbird
  37. Sep 13 18:31:57 <SirGoldFish> "Trees and animals." He corrects Austin, finger raised. "I am a friend to the natural world."
  38. Sep 13 18:36:21 <Knave> "Cool." Austin looks away to the sky, idly, "I like to think of myself as pretty friendly with mother Earth."
  39. Sep 13 18:46:03 <SirGoldFish> "Well in that case I think we should get along just find, friend." He says with a smile.
  40. Sep 13 18:48:55 <Knave> "So," Austin hoists himself up to perch on the wall of the gazebo, "Is there anything at all going on around here that might distract a fella from ukulele practise?"
  41. Sep 13 18:50:54 * ZaGatorado (HeevyDunde@94-71-90-978.fibertel.com.ar) has joined
  42. Sep 13 18:52:43 <SirGoldFish> "The woods out here are honestly quite lovely."
  43. Sep 13 18:55:06 <Knave> "Already intimately familiar." Austin smiles, recalling his morning walks to the spot he last saw Hermione at.
  44. Sep 13 18:55:54 <Complete_Zero> By now, Jonathan is sat at a bench, reading one of the books Isa gave to him. He is nearly finished.
  45. Sep 13 19:00:19 * Kadmus (Thomas_Cla@nhqb-75-9-508-050.as21512.net) has joined
  46. Sep 13 19:01:13 <SirGoldFish> "Mhmm, you did not happen to spot a rather crystal clear river?"
  47. Sep 13 19:02:12 * AwayOrb is now known as Endtop
  48. Sep 13 19:03:06 <Knave> "I don't reckon so, no, why?" Austin peers down with interest at Charlie, "Is it magic? Full of, like, kelpies and nixies and such?"
  49. Sep 13 19:04:20 <SirGoldFish> "Oh no I was just asking... If you do happen to spot it, please refrain from drinking out of it."
  50. Sep 13 19:06:38 <Knave> Austin grimaces and changes tack, "Cursed? Full of horrors and nightmares and such?"
  51. Sep 13 19:13:48 * Silvors (Silvors@72-528-51-865.dyn.centurytel.net) has joined
  52. Sep 13 19:21:15 <SirGoldFish> "Uhhh, sure lets go with that." Charlie smiles.
  53. Sep 13 19:22:46 <Knave> "No, seriously, what's up with it?" Austin asks, curious.
  54. Sep 13 19:23:24 <SirGoldFish> "It's a rather bad idea, and that is all I can say at this current time." He nods. "One day, I shall tell you more."
  55. Sep 13 19:24:52 <Knave> Austin nods, "Looking forward to it." Then the question that had been in the back of Austin's mind surfaces, "What do trees have to talk about, anyway?"
  56. Sep 13 19:26:51 <SirGoldFish> "Many a' things. Trees are rather wise when they get older. Being able to tell stories about the land they are a part of."
  57. Sep 13 19:28:54 <Knave> "Presumably, only the broad strokes, though, right? Like, it's not like any great love stories or tales have revenge have all happened within earshot of the same tree."
  58. Sep 13 19:32:24 * SolongStarbird has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
  59. Sep 13 19:32:34 * SolongStarbird (SolongStar@xmk-074-63-28-855.carolina.res.rr.com) has joined
  60. Sep 13 19:33:05 <SirGoldFish> "Well sometimes if they occur next to the tree, but usually yes, broad strokes would be a good way to put it."
  61. Sep 13 19:34:52 <Knave> "Do they, like, know English?" Austin puffs out air, smiling, "Sorry to be Kid Twenty Questions over here. Tell me if I'm annoying you."
  62. Sep 13 19:35:48 <SirGoldFish> "I understand what they say in English. Whether they themselves speak English is a matter I am unsure of. If I were to guess, I would say no."
  63. Sep 13 19:38:06 <Knave> Austin shrugs, "Maybe you should ask sometime. Although probably not since if you hear all trees the same, logically, there'd be some who simply haven't had the time or the experience to learn English. Wait if trees can talk, are all trees sapient?" Austin leaps off the wooden fence he's sat on, then looks down with discomfort at the wooden gazebo floor he's stood on. In a quiet voice, he continues, concerned,
  64. Sep 13 19:38:06 <Knave> "Is this a murder-gazebo?"
  65. Sep 13 19:59:55 * Daedalus (jonathanew@rfw-92-95-370-369.socal.res.rr.com) has joined
  66. Sep 13 19:59:55 <SirGoldFish> "Hmm, I try not to think about such things. I believe that the souls of trees get reincarnated."

  70. Sep 13 20:00:01 * Daedalus is now known as Roosevelt
  71. Sep 13 20:02:12 <Knave> "Pretty cold comfort..." Austin looks dubiously at the wood around him, "Still hardly seems fair, you spend decades in a spot, growing, minding your own business, you get used to the lay of things, then some jackass with an axe kills you and turns your corpse into a few thousand pencils."
  72. Sep 13 20:04:51 <SirGoldFish> Charlie shudders at the thought. "It is quite a tragedy. I've made friends with many trees that have been chopped down later." Charlie looks down somberly. "But," he looks up and smiles a little, always the optimist. "So is the circle of life."
  73. Sep 13 20:06:14 <Knave> "Hakuna matata." Austin deadpans, looking at Wallace.
  74. Sep 13 20:08:12 <SirGoldFish> "Hmm?" Charlie tilts his head, looking at the boy.

  77. Sep 13 20:08:50 <Knave> "It means no worries," Austin says levelly, but can't help breaking out into a wide smile.

  79. Sep 13 20:10:15 * Soulless has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  80. Sep 13 20:11:17 <SirGoldFish> "Ah, okay..." The boy shrugs. He is clearly not a fan of disney.
  81. Sep 13 20:13:17 <Knave> Austin whips out his ukulele and strums vaguely - if you'd heard the song before, you'd know he was, at best, guessing at the chords - as he begins to begins to skate out of the gazebo. In an artificially scratchy singing voice, he belts, "IT'S OUR PROBLEM FREEEEE PHILOSOPHY! HAKUNA MATATA!"
  82. Sep 13 20:17:53 <SirGoldFish> "Well, I think with that I shall be taking my leave. Wonderful to meet you Austin." He leaves for the woods
  83. Sep 13 20:18:42 <Knave> Austin bows to Charlie as he walks off, "Good to meet you too, buddy."
