[littlesoul]

[She's up high, as high as she can possibly manage without being on the roof of the castle itself. She's not having a bad day exactly but it is the kind of day where she's wary of 3pole. There are people she wants to see though, people she wants to interact with, even if she can't quite bring herself to interact with them directly.

So she puts a call out to the journals. No words are spoken but she hums, offering out a song for anyone to do with what they wish. She's not opposed to words though and will use them if they are use with her.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[Through the journal, comes a simple four tune phrase is sang that River should know well. It's an invitation, and a question all in one. Katniss can come to her, or she can go to River.]

[littlesoul]

[She smiles, humming and carefully opening her mouth, singing softly a sweet tune that is enticing and luring. I'm coming, it says. I'm coming to you.

Which she does. Slowly, carefully but she finds her way to the edge of the woods.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[On the edge of the forest there was a number of trees - and from high atop one came the four note song, once again. Katniss waited for her in the tree, balanced perfectly on a cross-hatch of branches.]

[littlesoul]

[River spins and sways, her hands thrown up in the air as she moves. The music s lovely, t's what she needed and her sisterthing is even more what she craved.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss smiled from atop her tree, and hummed a variation she heard the mockingjays sing, just to watch River spin and dance.]

[littlesoul]

[River claps her hands, dancing with ease and grace. She hums back, complimenting the tune even gigging a little.

Katniss is one of her favorites.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss went up a trill of notes, like the bird, clapping her hands in time for River to dance with. It took a lot to get Katniss to this place - free and easy and happy - but River knew how to do it easily. As far as she was concerned, that was River's greatest power.]

[therealrisette]

[This is new... someone's humming over the journal? Is it intentional, or did someone just leave their journal open?

Whatever the case may be, a tiny voice, obviously a small child's, hums a little melody of her own, building on and attempting to complement the stranger's. And she mostly succeeds, hitting only a few awkward notes and falling out of timing once or twice.

On her end, Rise is curious how the girl on the other end of the journals will respond...?]

[littlesoul]

[Her humming shifts, moving to weave itself around the other girl's, complimenting it. it's lovely, the music they make, sweet and happy and something that people could actually enjoy if they heard it.]

[therealrisette]

[Rise smiles to herself as they hum together. It's a bit strange, weaving a song together with someone she doesn't think she even knows, but it's coming out so well! It even cheers her up a bit more, and that's something she really needs sometimes in these past few days.

She's really curious about this girl now, but she doesn't want to stop the song before it's over. So she wishes up a pink pen and writes, in a slightly awkward, childish script that she can't seem to do anything about in her current body.]

I'm Rise. What's your name?

[littlesoul]

[River continues to hum, not even acknowledging the written words for a few moments. But soon enough she's picking up a pen herself, scrawling out a reply in small, elegant letters.]

River.

Rise and River, it sounds nice.

[therealrisette]

Yeah, it does!

Nice to meet you, River-chan!

[Rise's own humming perks up a bit more. In her small, youthful voice, it has an infectious, saccharine cheerfulness to it.]

Do you sing over the journals a lot?

[onehundred]

[ What luck that Levi's here too, enjoying the view. He has always liked heights though they are usually less still than this. He does miss being able to get around by other ways than walking. The girls gets a glance but nothing more, he doesn't mind company much, even if he doesn't say so.

[littlesoul]

[She tilts her head at him, studying his face, his posture. Moving closer, she offers out a song and a hand.]

[onehundred]

I don't sing.

[ He ignores her hand, moving instead to the very edge so he can sit there. ]

[littlesoul]

[She nods, humming to herself and settling in. Her hands move, signing the words she's singing. It's not what he means, she knows that but she feels like music today and she's not going to let anyone stop her.]

[spongetastic]

[he hums back immediately. Just a string of notes without a song behind them. He hears you, River, and he's here]

[littlesoul]

[And with his humming, she smiles, happy in knowing that he's still alive. Her tune turns a little melancholy, a little worried. It's a question. Are you all right? Are you up for company?]

[spongetastic]

[he is, especially the River-type of company]

[littlesoul]

[And that's all she needs, knowing that he's open to seeing her has her bounding off her high place and running in his direction, dancing and spinning as she does so.

She'll arrive at his door with an expression of excitement, of pleasure. And when he sees her, she will wrap hr arms around him and press a kiss to his cheek.]

[spongetastic]

[he knew she was coming so he kept the door open for her. When they meet, he puts his arms around her and holds her close]

Missed you too, mei mei.

[nukeoleptic]

[ Jade will hum in response -- a continuation of River's song, but only for a few moments. ]

That's pretty. Does it have words?

Re: dictated;

[littlesoul]

[She hums back, swaying a little as she does so. It's Jade, Jade is a good thing. She is a sister and a comfort and a sweet, sweet thing.]

No, not yet. We can give it words though..

dictated;

[nukeoleptic]

[ She hums, thoughtful. ]

No, we should make a new song. Like the constellations- they can be all ours.

Re: dictated;

[littlesoul]

[Now that makes her smile, the very idea of creating something new with Jade makes her happy in a way she can't entirely explain.[

Yes, we should. Come up with something that's just ours. Make constellations and songs and a culture all our own.

dictated;

[nukeoleptic]

[ Jade's own smile can be heard in her voice. ]

Good! That's the best idea I've heard all day, River.

[pompous_today]

[It's a while before Simon finds River- she can hide better than anybody else he knows, but there are a few places more likely than most- and he just simply sits beside her, knowing she has probably sensed him coming, enjoying the silence.]

[littlesoul]

[She smiles at the sight of him, moving to lean against his shoulder lightly. She's not entirely sure what to do with him today. She knows who he's supposed to be and she can almost see it but she doesn't feel it. Doesn't have the memories or emotions that are attached to the title of 'brother'.]

[pompous_today]

[Simon rests his head against hers, one hand reaching and finding hers, closing around it. His sister seems quiet today, and there could be any number of reasons for it, and so he decides to let her talk about it if she feels like it- and if not, well, he's still here.]

Sometimes it's nice to get away.

[littlesoul]

[She nods, her eyes still closed as she hums a little, her legs swinging to the tune.] You can only go so far though, can't run forever and people are everywhere. They've infested.

[pompous_today]

[Simon looks at her fondly before nodding.]

He knows she couldn't get away from people entirely even if she wanted to. He knows that she would get lonely, too, eventually.

[somanylyrics]

[she hears the humming and she smiles. she starts doodling a stick figure ballerina in the journal. it's not the best stick figure, but it's good enough. and sadly just in blue ink since the castle seems to be against her using crayons.]

[littlesoul]

((OOC: feioajfoeajfeowafew OMGOMG SKITTLES?! When id you join Para? How did i not know this? *glees like an idiot*))


[She smiles at the sight of the little drawing and she hums a little more purposefully. The tune is now something that a ballerina could dance to, something *she* has danced to even, and she finds herself swaying lightly to the music as she thinks about it.]

[somanylyrics]

((ooc: xD it's been a few days! I think you've been busy? here's her intro.))


[she smiles when she hears the tune change and she starts to draw a unicorn next. they're her favorite. she kinda wants to get up and dance now. she loves dancing.]

[littlesoul]

[her tune shifts again, this time to something light and easy to dance to. River can sense the fact that the other girl wants to dance and she's trying to encourage it.]

[somanylyrics]

[and now she can't help but get up and start dancing. she moves freely and easily, just letting her body take in the tune and create something to it.]

[silentrunning]

[There's a Chell listening over the journal. She doesn't know the song, but after a while of listening to the tune, she joins in as best she can, humming softly.]

[littlesoul]

[River smiles, swaying to the sound of the music and even going so far as to shift her tune to match Chell's. They'll create something beautiful together, something lovely.

After a while, River leaps down from her spot, still humming and carrying the journal with her. She's on a hunt fo the other girl, using her mind and the song to track her.]

[silentrunning]

[Chell likes hide and seek. So she writes in the journal.]

You and me? Hide and seek?

[storiestotell]

[ Have another person joining along in the humming.

Katherine had been in her room, pouring over a book from the library, while her journal was resting on the ground beside her, open. Just in case something of importance popped up on the journal. And when she heard the melody from the it, she closed the book she was reading and set it aside in favor of retrieving the other. ]
