Storytelling and Song, Tuesday

Jaskier was working his way through converting a Carly Rae Jepsen song to work on a lute thanks to Kathy introducing him to the wonder that was the internet. It was a work in progress.

"Hello, hello! Welcome back!" he said brightly. "Today we will discuss how one might turn the messy idea of truth to the glamorous world of song. Now, it may come as a surprise or disappointment to you to learn that one must make a few minor adjustments to story here and there in order to make it more palatable for the masses to consume. As no one likes to learn that they are the villains."

Bards: ye olde PR agents.

"So! Let us begin with choosing the correct subject matter for you!"

Yes, share with him the history of your people.

"Can I choose the evil moose in the front office?" Tahani asked. "They won't let me move rooms!"
sexy_giraffe: (ew no)

"An actual moose! Behind a desk! Like that's normal!" Tahani said, getting shriekier.

"And it can end with me not having to share a room with a stranger!" Tahani said.

Ugh. Sharing was the worst.

"Not like that," Tahani replied, flustered. "I've never had a roommate and I don't intend to keep having one now."

The instructions felt a little vague to Astrid, and she didn't do well with vague, so she frowned a little as she considered.

It wasn't as if she didn't have a good villain ready to go, either. But she also couldn't just come right out with it, either.

"Metaphor is always good in song, right?" she eventually asked. "Where a song seems to be about one thing, but it's really about something else."
