Vell. It looks like i've finally got the fucking guitar completed.

[Twanging and thwoooinging sounds of tuning for about thirty seconds. Then she starts singing, melodic and melancholy.]

You know, the sun is in your eyes
And hurricanes and rains
Blacken cloudy skies

You're running up and down that hill
You turn it on and off at will
There's nothing here to thrill or bring you down
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town

Oh Lady Luck has led you here
And they're so twisted up
They'll twist you up, I fear

They're pious, hateful, and devout
You're turning tricks 'til you're turned out
The wind so cold it burns
You're burning out and blowing 'round
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town

The fates are vicious and they're cruel
You learn too late you've used
Two wishes
Like a fool

And then you're someone you are not
And Luceti ain't the spot
Remember Misses Lot and when she turned around
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town

[It's an acoustic version of this song]

[Scrapings, hollow bangings. The sound of metal being wound.]

Almost there...Almost....

[THWAAOIIING. Crash. Oh the humanity.]

Sheisse! Oh fuck this, maybe someone else has a guitar...

Does anyone know where I could perhaps find a guitar? Or materials that could be used to make one?

Of all the sheisse...

Oh is this thing on? Hello darlings. I'm a recent arrival here. My name is Hedwig. Normally i'm a German fraulein but, like most of the rest of you, i've been transformed into something mythical. I am...a whole person. One of the two headed, two bodied giants from the fairy tale my mother used to tell me.

There's a story that goes along with this new form. Would you like to hear it? Of course you would, don't be silly. It's called 'The Origin of Love'.

[She's entering performing mode. Her voice is more melodic and resonant.]
You see, long long ago, men and women didn't look like they do today. They looked like two people, back to back. They had four legs, arms and eyes. They could walk, talk and read at the same time.

Three genders, they had. The Children of the Sun looked like two men glued up back to back. The Children of the Earth looked like two girls rolled up into one. And the Children of the Moon were something in the middle, part Sun, part Earth, part daughter, part son.

They lived in peace and harmony with each other and were the brightest, most beautiful things Apollo saw in his travels across the sky.

Naturally the gods did not like this one bit. They were jealous and afraid. The people were too proud, too beautiful, too smart and defiant. So the gods all got together and decided to teach them a lesson!

Thor wanted to kill them all with his big hammer. He raged and stormed about how he would wipe all the mortals from the earth.

But Zeus, older and wiser said No, let me use my lightning to cut them in half, just like I cut the legs off the whales and turned the Dinosaurs into lizards. Zeus argued his case with all his wisdom and, since he was the oldest of the gods, he was listened to.

So he grabbed up his lightning bolts and laughed, a chilling thing. And all around the world, storm clouds gathered. The sky was totally dark.

And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts, like the shining blade of a knife. It ripped right through the flesh of the Children of the Sun, Earth and Moon. All over the world they looked up to the sky and begged 'Why?' and all they heard was Zeus's sinister chuckling. "That should do it." Zeus thought to himself. "And if they get uppity again, why i'll cut them down again and they'll be hopping around on one foot and looking through one eye!".
And then an Indian god came to each of them in turn and sewed the wound into a hole. He pulled the wound around to their bellies so it would always be a reminder of the price they paid for being too good and too beautiful. And Osiris and the other gods of the Nile summoned up a great tidal wave that flooded the world and scattered each of the people away from their counterparts.

And when they woke up, they each felt a pain that cut a straight line down through their hearts. For each of them was now missing the other half of their soul. Each of them ached and burned. And so they named the pain. They called it: Love.

And that's the way it's been ever since then.

Yet every once in a while, two people find that the two halves of their hearts fit perfectly together. And every once in a while...

Every once in a while, they find a way to put themselves back together again.

[back to normal

That's my story, darlings. I hope you liked it.

[OOC: Hedwig is indeed one of the two bodied giants from Plato's Symposium]

Uggghh...My head. I feel like I wrestled a six pound hornet. Angst and Bacardi is a dangerous combination. Now I find myself in this strange forest straight out of some ridiculous Dungeons and Dragons game with...wings on my back. Honestly, this is a little fruity, even for me. At any moment I expect to see a unicorn go galloping by.

I don't feel very dead so I can only assume i've been placed here by someone. But I suppose i'll solve that problem later. More importantly, which way do I go for food, shelter and a good, stiff drink?
