Catch-All Log 🎻 Mostly OTA
Who: Elliot Craig & You!
When: Early half of August
Where: Various Locations
What: Catch-all log for the month!
Warnings: Will add them as needed
I. Lunasa: Weddings
[If there was one good thing about the Lunasa celebration, it's that Elliot had no shortage of work. Violinists were in high demand for weddings, and with word beginning to spread about Elliot's skills, requests to play during ceremonies came flying in left and right. Scarcely was there a day during the festival that Elliot didn't have a wedding or three to play for. He was happy to do so - weddings were happy occasions and the pay was pretty good.
So maybe you caught him playing during the ceremony, or perhaps you stumbled upon a wedding and find yourself being pushed at him to dance during a rather lively reception. Later on in the festival, you might also find Elliot spending downtime in the more quiet part of the weddings - an empty room or around the corner, as if trying to hide from the celebrations or tune his instrument in peace.]
II. Wilde Quest #1: Out of the City
[Over the past three months, Elliot's gone to volunteer outside the wall. He's made a bit of a name for himself, performing his violin and giving lessons for free. The people in the slums are happy to see him, and he enjoys himself just as much. Music has the power to bring a little happiness and peace in an otherwise stressful life, and Elliot is happy to do that for them.
However, this time, his visit goes a little differently. There are people excited to see him, but several familiar faces among the crowd are missing. It takes a bit of prying to get what happened: they were infected and had to be quarantined. Some were taken to the Coven for "better treatment".
It was...worrying, to say the least. Elliot does his best to continue the lessons and performances as normal, not wanting to let the people down. However at the end of the day, when he's not longer being forced to act - it's easy to spot there's something subdue about him, more worried than usual.
You might hear him talking to himself]
Maybe I should go visit them...just to be sure...
III. Coven: Magic Practice
[Alas not everything in Elliot's life can revolve around violin playing. He still has to attend his classes at the coven. His third month in, and thanks to all the practice he's had, he seems to be getting the hang of things. Less and less does his magic backfire or go awry unless it's a brand new spell. He's friendly to his classmates, usually willing to practice together or help the newer students out.
After class one afternoon, he's sitting in the courtyard working on his own project. In front of him, he's got a collection of round marbled-sized quartz in a variety of colors. If you watch him, it appears he's trying to cast some kind of magic on them, but it's very much in the experimental stage. It probably wouldn't blow anything up if you approach him.]
IV. Music Lessons [Closed to students]
[Elliot's been doing lessons for a month now. Some of his students have already had a few lessons and are finally settling into the routine. Elliot's a kind and encouraging instructor, gauging his intensity on what push he thinks his students need. He does make sure to challenge them where appropriate, which is why this lesson time he seems to be pretty cheerful even by the end of the lesson]
Hey, so I wanted to ask you- how would you feel about doing a recital at some point?

[Got another prompt for me? Hit me up! Elliot is spending the early part of the month in the city mostly, but he can be roped into different quests and activities pretty easily.]

Aha, you'll get there for sure. But really, no rush. I don't expect you to buy a piano just for my sake.
Though...I wouldn't turn down going over there, even if you don't have a piano.
no subject
[Oh. Elliot is being very cute right now. Mikleo smiles a little, and there's something shy about it even now.]
Well-- yes, of course... I thought that would be a given.
I should cook this time. With the way the weather has been, we could have stew.
no subject
[Shy or not, it was still a cute smile. He glances at the clock. Officially, the lesson was done for the day. Elliot took lessons seriously, but now that it was done, there was no harm in this.]
Oh, I'd love to try your stew.
[He reaches out, brushing his fingers over Mikleos]
Tonight?
no subject
Y--
[The mental equivalent of JFDKDKLADSKALKFf here.]
Yes, that sounds-- yes. [Five Lords, this is embarrassing!!! It's not like they haven't done this before.] I'll swing by the market on the way back and see what looks good.
no subject
Hehe, okay.
Should I come with or meet you at your place?
