Malakai strolled casually through the streets of Ossolkef, his hands in his pockets. He listened raptly to the sounds of the busy street around himself so he could navigate through pedestrians and street stalls without incident. But that wasn't his only reason for listening in. I've got some free time on my hands... Why don't I glorify the God of the Flames for a bit? Hmm. Who sounds gullible?
Lawls6/22/2016, 7:38:15 PM(edited)
Rourke was quietly singing in streets the illusions fading in and out, When he passed the male he could hear him singing "I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love~ Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da ya da!"
Deallocate6/22/2016, 7:46:16 PM(edited)
Wait, what? Malakai blinked. What an absolutely delightful tune. And his voice isn't half bad either... Okay. Screw naivete. Let's take this guy for a spin. Malakai lept in front of the other man nimbly, spreading his arms wide to stop the singer from escaping. "Excuse me, sir. Do you have time to talk about our Lord and Savior, the God of the Flames?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 7:54:21 PM(edited)
"Wha" He bumped into the man and the illusions fade away "God of Flames?" Who is this man? And why does he want to talk about some God?
Deallocate6/22/2016, 8:03:10 PM
Malakai beamed happily, completely unaware of the existence and disappearance of Rourke's illusions. "Yes! The one and only true deity, who watches down upon us from his burning palace, the Sun itself! He warms the plains and helps the wee little flowers grow! Not to mentions he's a really swell dude overall."
Lawls6/22/2016, 8:05:50 PM
"Pretty swell dude huh?" Rourke was not interested in the slightest but didn't want to seem rude to this person
Deallocate6/22/2016, 8:10:42 PM
"Yeah! And, uhm... did I mention he's a god?" Shoot. Out of material already. Gotta keep him interested... "So, how are you doing on this fine evening?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 8:14:01 PM(edited)
Rourke smiles "I'm doing pretty well, Now tell me more about this God of Flames. What's his mission?" He's not a good actor.
Deallocate6/22/2016, 8:20:12 PM
Ah, yes! His purpose! "His fiery-ness wants naught but for all of the nations of our continent to unite together and bring about an era of peace and prosperity." "I fight for him. So I can conquer the world in his name and establish world peace!" Malakai poses dramatically.
Lawls6/22/2016, 8:24:46 PM(edited)
Rourke stifles a laugh "It seems they've got all there bases covered with you then. No need for any more recruits." He grinned
Deallocate6/22/2016, 8:31:30 PM
The blind man grimaced. "I would love nothing more than to conquer the world by myself. But unfortunately, my Lord wants me to learn of teamwork and companionship." "So that's why I've joined your prince, Dimitri! I shall help him rid the land of these monsters and learn to exude the tenants of my faith!"
Lawls6/22/2016, 8:32:32 PM
"You're in Dimitris task group?" ...
Deallocate6/22/2016, 8:35:12 PM
Malakai notices something in the other man's voice, and takes pause as well. "..." "...Yep."
Lawls6/22/2016, 8:37:08 PM
"Gods, Well I'm Rourke." He puts his hand out "It's a pleasure to meet you and your... Flame god"
Deallocate6/22/2016, 8:39:49 PM
Malakai hesitantly shakes his hand. "I'm Malakai. Nice to meet you as well." "..." "And the God of the Flames says hi too."
Lawls6/22/2016, 8:45:49 PM(edited)
He smiles "Seems like you're quite the preacher then?" He can't be serious, a Flame god?
Deallocate6/22/2016, 8:49:35 PM
Malakai scratched his head awkwardly. "Uhh... not really. But it seems you've noticed that already." Augh, don't focus on your shortcomings! Turn this around! "So, what's your thing? What do you do and all?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 8:51:00 PM
He clears his voice "I sing~" The illusions fade in for a second then fade out
Deallocate6/22/2016, 8:56:07 PM
Whoah. He does have a nice voice. But... did I feel something more there for a second? Malakai nods. "Very impressive. So is this just a pasttime, or do you sing for a band? In plays? Fancy restaurants?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 9:01:03 PM
"I sing for anyplace I can, I'm a freelancer." He holds up his book "I also collect any song I can in this book."
Deallocate6/22/2016, 9:14:08 PM(edited)
Malakai nods. "It's a... very nice book. "
If I write a theme song for the God of the Flames, he'll have to write it down, right?
Lawls6/22/2016, 9:24:20 PM
"Thank you," He looks to his book and smiles "Hm... Do you have any songs that you like to sing?" Wonder if he has any songs from the 'God of Flames'
Deallocate6/22/2016, 9:28:45 PM
"Nah. 'Fraid I've never been much of a singer. Kinda a shame. If only I had a nice voice, I could draw in the crowds a but better."
Lawls6/22/2016, 9:33:08 PM
"Hm..." He smiles "Maybe I could help you out there?"
Deallocate6/22/2016, 9:40:56 PM
Malakai raises his eyebrows from behind his blindfold. "Wait, really?" "How come you're offering such a thing to a complete stranger?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 9:44:13 PM
"You're not a stranger! You're apart of the task force. I think I can trust you" He smiles warmly
Deallocate6/22/2016, 9:47:36 PM
"..."
"You're in Dimitri's group too?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 9:48:11 PM
He nods his head
"Yeah?"
Deallocate6/22/2016, 9:56:27 PM(edited)
Oh. So that's why he gave pause when I brought up I was part of it. "Huh. You should have said." "That's a pretty nice coincidence. Well met, Roarke. I look forward to working with you."
Lawls6/22/2016, 9:57:37 PM(edited)
Wait did I not say so? "Oh gods, My apologies for not saying that early. It'll be nice working with you sir"
Deallocate6/22/2016, 10:06:28 PM
Malakai laughed. "It's all good. What does a singer like you do in a private militia anyway?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 10:07:40 PM
"Well I sing, Obviously... I'm also pretty good with a naginata if I do say so myself"
Deallocate6/22/2016, 10:13:45 PM
"Wait... when you sing, do you mean you do that one thing with the rejuvenation and all?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 10:15:56 PM(edited)
"Well my singing has been told to rejuvenate..."
Deallocate6/22/2016, 10:30:22 PM
Malakai hopped forward and inspected the other man closely "That's amazing! It's a talent I've only heard of in legends!" Hmm... I wonder if I could get him to join me in my crusade after all this ends...
Lawls6/22/2016, 10:33:49 PM
Rourke smiles "Thank you... Oh!" He gets out his book and opens it "Is there any songs you enjoy listening to?"
Deallocate6/22/2016, 10:38:26 PM
Malakai gave an apologetic expression. "Actually, not really. I've never listened to music much throughout my life. The Fire Tribe sees it as a distraction from more important activities like fighting and meditation. And after that, I didn't really hang around many people." "I have absurdly little experience with music."
Lawls6/22/2016, 10:39:27 PM
"Life... Without music?" Rourke is shocked "Would you like me to sing for you? And see what you like?"
Deallocate6/22/2016, 10:46:14 PM
Malakai nods excitedly. "That would be amazing!" He glances around the busy street they're still on. "But would you like to head somewhere a bit more quiet?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 10:49:05 PM(edited)
Rourke nods "Where do you have mind?"
Deallocate6/22/2016, 10:56:16 PM
"Hmm. Nowhere in particular. I'm afraid I don't have a home at the moment."
"We could head to the city outskirts, if you're okay with that."
Lawls6/22/2016, 11:01:34 PM(edited)
"I'm okay with that." He smiles at male
Deallocate6/22/2016, 11:09:21 PM
Malakai smacked his fists together, causing some flames to flare up brightly before winking out. "Okay! Follow me?"
Lawls6/22/2016, 11:13:17 PM
Was that fire!?!?! "Alright!" He follows him smiling all the way
Deallocate6/22/2016, 11:46:42 PM
Malakai led him to the edge of the city, where the decrepit buildings gave way to the mountainous terrain of the rest of the country.
Lawls6/22/2016, 11:47:26 PM(edited)
"Just here?" It's kinda creepy...
Deallocate6/23/2016, 12:01:52 AM
Malakai sits next to a dead tree and smiles happily. He's completely unaware of the nature of his surroundings due to his blindness. "Isn't it great? I love it here. The air is really clear."
Lawls6/23/2016, 12:05:32 AM
Well... The air is quite clear... "It sure is..."
He opens his book "What type of song would you like? A more slower or faster one?"
Deallocate6/23/2016, 12:08:41 AM
Malakai rocks back and forth. "A fast one!"
Lawls6/23/2016, 12:09:39 AM
He grins "Let me just warm up first.. Okay?"
Deallocate6/23/2016, 12:11:49 AM
"But of course. Take your time."
Lawls6/23/2016, 12:14:13 AM
Rourke does tongue thrills going up and down a scale
While this is happening the Illusions fade into existance
Deallocate6/23/2016, 12:14:49 AM
There it is again. I can feel something...
"Excuse me. I don't know how to put this... but are you doing anything special right now? More than singing. I can feel something in the air."
Lawls6/23/2016, 12:19:32 AM
"Huh?" All of his Illusions say that in sync "You mean my Illusions?"
Deallocate6/23/2016, 12:22:41 AM
Malakai suddenly jumps back and falls on his rear. "Aaaaaaaagh! There's several of you!?"
Lawls6/23/2016, 12:30:12 AM(edited)
Rourke shuts up the Illusions "Gods, I didn't mean to frighten you..." He kneels down "Are you alright?"
Deallocate6/23/2016, 12:35:15 AM
Malakai puts a hand to his chest. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just didn't expect that. You to suddenly be in four places at once."
Lawls6/23/2016, 12:40:33 AM
He nervously laughs "Yeah, Sorry about that."
Deallocate6/23/2016, 12:43:18 AM
Malakai gestured to the bandanna covering his visage. "Cuz of this, I tend to be much more reliant on my vision. You just gave me a jump scare because I had no way of comprehending what happened."
Lawls6/23/2016, 12:54:05 AM
"Huh..." The illusions start to disappear "Oh well... Uh... A fast song right?"
Deallocate6/23/2016, 12:59:16 AM
"Yeah, sure thing. If it's okay with you."
Lawls6/23/2016, 1:05:54 AM
He clears his voice before singing
"Come at me! And you'll see.."
"I'm more then meets the eye!~"
"You think that, You'll break me, You're gonna find in time~"
"You're standing too close to a flame that's burning. Hotter than the sun in the middle of July. Sending out your army, but you still can't win; Listen up, silly boy, 'cuz I'm gonna tell you why-y-y-y~"
"I Burn!"
"Can't hold me down..."
"You got nothing to stop me!" His illusions cut it with "I burn!"
"Swing all you want..." His illusions harmonise on the last lyrics
"Like a fever I will take you down!"
He relaxes his voice
God my breathing was awful...
Deallocate6/23/2016, 1:09:51 AM
Malakai sits in awe. Whoah... what have I been missing out on? "That was amazing!"
Lawls6/23/2016, 1:11:41 AM
"You think so?" His illusions talk again with him
Deallocate6/23/2016, 1:15:55 AM
The blind man nods. "Yeah, especially when using your voice throwing or whatever. By the way, how exactly are you doing that?"
Lawls6/23/2016, 1:18:44 AM
"Do you mean how I'm projecting my voice?"
Deallocate6/23/2016, 1:20:12 AM
"Yep. How you make it sound like there's several copies of you or whatever."
Lawls6/23/2016, 1:21:27 AM
"O-Oh you mean my Illusions?" The illusion walks through the man "Did you feel like? Like a gust of wind just entered you?"
Deallocate6/23/2016, 1:28:04 AM
Malakai is sitting very still, his face stuck in a startled expression. "That was very, very weird." He shudders. "You have illusions? How do they work?"
Lawls6/23/2016, 1:30:08 AM
"Whenever I sing or warm up, They appear to help me sing" He smiles
"Or dance... Or act."
Deallocate6/23/2016, 1:33:02 AM
Malakai rubs his chin thoughtfully. "First the singing, and now this. I get that the Flame God led me to you so we could work together. But how do your mysterious powers work? Is magical singing common in your family?"
Lawls6/23/2016, 1:35:55 AM
He was hesitant of talking about the past but got it out "W-Well, My mother was a sorcerer... And my father was a peformer... I was the only child to get the two of them... My siblings are either powerful mages or performers"
Deallocate6/23/2016, 1:38:37 AM
"Oh, so you think your talents are a combination of theirs? Interesting. You're definitely a fascinating individual."
Lawls6/23/2016, 1:39:50 AM
That's one way to describe me...
Rourke smiled "You really think so?"
Deallocate6/23/2016, 1:44:18 AM
Malakai smirked. "I can't help but notice you always ask for confirmation when receiving a compliment. It's a trait more often seen in those who are self-conscious or not confident."
Lawls6/23/2016, 1:46:16 AM
He smiles "I guess I do." Rourke then shrugs "It's more a disbelief then anything."
Deallocate6/23/2016, 2:02:51 AM
"Hmm. Well, I think you have every right to be proud of your accomplishments." He stood up. "It may just be that I value your talent more than others since hearing means so much more to me. But you should be proud of yourself!"
Lawls6/23/2016, 2:10:04 AM
God knows I don't deserve this He smiles "Thank you very much Malakai."
Deallocate6/23/2016, 2:11:47 AM
"Well, I would love to stay, but I'm afraid I must be off. I need to make sure a bonfire I set earlier hasn't burned out of control." He gave a small wave. "I hope to speak with you again later."
Lawls6/23/2016, 2:12:11 AM(edited)
"Me too!" He gives a small wave back
