The Rishnaran: I need to get Edeneshar in here. Dav: Electric guitar? You have instruments made of lightning? Wow! Guitars sound like takshars to me, but we make takshars completely out of metal. How many strings do guitars have? Takshars have five. The Rishnaran: Would you like to hear a song on the takshar?
Vanna: Well, no, they aren't made of lightning. They're powered by it. It's hard to explain, especially since I'm not very good at Science. Guitars have six strings. A song on the takshar sounds good, maybe we can have a little concert. Can anyone else play an instrument? Our DJ seems to have disappeared.
Edeneshar: Whoa! How did I get here? Dav: Den! How've you been? Edeneshar: Fantastic, mate. Do you know what's going on? The Rishnaran: Dav brought the singer up to speed. Edeneshar: Wicked! So. Humans. Hello. Interesting little things, aren't you?
Edeneshar: Oh, you can call me Den. Or Ed or Shar, but I like Den best. And yes, I play the takshar. Dav: What's a unicorn? Edeneshar: I should probably Tell you about myself. I'm from Shira, nice little place, don't know if you'd've heard of it, though if you have, the accent probably gave it away already. I've been singing for nineteen years now. Got married last year... Let's see... I can fit twenty-three apples in my mouth? That's something weird about me... Anyway, do you want to hear a song? in unison with the Rishnaran: I wrote it myself.
Aidan: It's like a horse with a big horn in the middle of its forehead... the last one I met was rabid, and pink which wasn't a good look *Shakes head* singing dragons ??? - I really shouldn't have smoked those weird herbs last night *breaks into song* "Puff the magic dragon he lived by the shore Ate a lot of people fuck knows what for til the days came to pass that Aidan the mighty shoved a sword up his arse "
The Rishnaran: Language! I certainly won't allow Den and Davard to hear that. Dav: [snorts] Seriously? Why would those exist?
Cira - Seriously ??? You're a dragon , you're supposed to be mythical too ?? (says a shape shifter who hunts trolls for a living) Aidan *still singing* There was a randy dragon lived in limerick all the ladies loved him cos he had jewels on his ... Cira - you'll have to excuse him , he gets like this when he drinks Aidan Met a lady dragon she lived in Cheshunt
Dav: One, you look exactly like a daktar and most dragons think they're mythical. Two, horses already exist and they don't have horns.
Aidan *still singing* Born down in a dead trolls town first kick I took was when I hit the ground end up like a sheep, been shagged too much spend half your life getting tupped ohh wayy born in the celtic islse I was born in the celtic isle now Had a brother at drruf Druh Fighting off Cuchulain He's still there but hes no the same oh way born in the Celtic isles.. Cira - Sorry about this everyone, come on Aidan, bed, now
Vanna: Oh, dear, have a nice sleep, Aidan! Shall I play some songs? I can do Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, a bit of Kinks (I learned "Lola" for my mum's birthday, it's her favourite song), plenty of Queen - I'm not even sure if there's anyone left who'd recognise those names. I remember playing "Parklife" on the street and everyone would join in the chorus, that was always fun. But virtually no-one here knows it. Dav, Den, I could sing the real version of "Puff the Magic Dragon" if you like.
The Rishnaran: Please don't. It's ridiculous. Dav: What kind of name is Puff? Den: I kind of want to hear it, actually. Might be a laugh. Dav: Magic Dragon? I mean, why not just call him a wizard?
Vanna: Sorry. I just thought it would be better than Aidan's version. It's a song for young children, so it is a bit ridiculous. It made me cry when I was about three. Shall I sing "Parklife" instead? It's a very famous song in my country. Or I could sing "Take Me Out". That's my favourite song.
Vanna: I'll sing a few, shall I? Melody: "A few"? Darling, I know you can play for hours! Limit her to five or six songs - once she gets started, she doesn't stop! Vanna: Mum! Must you come horning in like this? If you want to watch, could you at least watch quietly? Melody: All right, darling. I'll leave you alone after, shall I? You will enjoy this. She's very good with her guitar and she's got a lovely voice - deeper than Elvis! Vanna: Haha, I doubt it. I say, though, Mum, ta awfully. You're a sport. *Tunes guitar* *Begins to play* Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of...
Aidan : singing faintly in the distance "I knew a horny dragon from Gwent..." Cira: also in the distance "Shut up Aidan"
Dusty : No one does, but he really doesn't care whether you do or not. Far as I know he doesn't care much about anything. You have to understand his family were all killed when he was a young boy, and he grew up as a slave to their murderers until one day he finally killed them... he's been killing for money ever since.
*Comes to a stop mid-note* Oh. That's sad. I'm sorry, Aidan. A couple of my friends are orphans. There was a purge of the old wizarding families a while ago and there were plenty of people caught in the crossfire. My friend Gatty was raised by two aunts (or were they great-aunts...?) and my friend Ophelia's family cook came to work at St. Edith's, so Ophelia was kind of raised by the school. She spent the first seven years of her life in the kitchen before she started in the Kindergarten. I grew up without a dad, but at least I got to meet him again last summer.
Dusty : he doesn't do well with authority figures, so the more you tell him not to swear the more likely he is to be offensive Aidan still singing even more faintly * I knew a dragon in hamburg town* Dusty : also he drinks too much
Vanna: Oh, haha. I remember wanting to go to Hogwarts. I wanted to go to the Chalet School more, though. St. Edith's is much closer to the latter. In fact, I spent eleven months there without even knowing that witches exist!
Tommas : Did he say 'drinks too much'? There is no 'drinks too much'. Anyone who 'drinks too much' is what I call 'weak'. James : Brother, you were passed out drunk just last night. Tommas : I was weak. It won't happen again. (sorry I'm new to this)
