It's my party...

[alley_kit]

Who: Kit and anyone who wants to talk to her
Where: Near the pond
When: Backdated to Oct. 4, early afternoon
What: Kit has to celebrate her first birthday without her twin. Feelings are... mixed, to say the least.
Warnings: Possible sad kitty?

Around the pond, music can be heard drifting through the warm afternoon air. Though the music is beautiful, and the tune soothing, it also sounds strangely sad. And perhaps... a bit lonely.

Those who follow the music back to its source will find Wily-Kit, siting on the branch of a tree overlooking the pond, her back resting against the trunk of the tree, eyes closed. She seems to be lost in her playing, unaware of anyone else's presence just yet. It might almost seem a shame to disturb her, if not for the fact that the song she's playing seems especially melancholy today...

"I doubt they will mind. After all, it just shows how much you like and respect them! It's an honor to have people tell your story...at least it is where I am from!" That is a big part of a bard's job, after all.

"I don't think being a king or a queen or any kind of ruler is ever as easy as people think it will be. That is why I will be happy being a knight. I will let others who are better at those kinds of things be the ruler. I will just go and protect those who need to be protected!" Diarmuid excitedly raises his fist into the air before remembering he is on a tree branch and putting his arm down again so he doesn't loose his balance.

"Both of those sound scary. Just in different ways! I don't want to run into anyone using weapons like that against me...though I would like to see them used sometime!" Especially the whip since Kit seems to be having a hard time describing it. Unlike the laser, it sounds like a person has to be really skilled to use a whip and that is the kind of thing that impresses Diarmuid. Skill, not just a lot of damage.

"Yeah," Kit said, "if it was easy being in charge, then anybody could do it. And it's pretty obvious that some people should never be in charge." Like Mumm-Ra for an extreme example, though there were plenty of far more petty people she would never want as her king or queen.

She nodded at the notion of both weapons being scary. "I haven't seen anybody with laser guns around here," Kit said. "At least, not that they've used. And it takes skill to use a whip without hurting yourself, so unless somebody comes here who knows how, we probably shouldn't try to do it ourselves or anything. Tygra's really good at it, though; he must've practiced a long time."

Diarmuid nods his head eagerly in agreement with her. He would never want Donn ruling anything, for example. That man couldn't be a good knight or father There is no way he could be a good ruler!

"Yes, we definitely can't practice with a weapon like that when we don't know how to. Weapons are not toys and have to be treated with respect!" Diarmuid falls silent for a moment as something crosses his mind, then a wide smile covers his face, "I want you to keep telling me stories, but lets go somewhere else!" He reaches out to lightly pull on her arm, "I want to take you out for your birthday! Ice cream or pizza or whatever you want!"

[alley_kit]

Kit nodded at the suggestion that they go somewhere else. "Yeah," she said. "Up a tree isn't exactly the most comfortable place for story telling."

"And ice cream sounds really good," she said. "It's been awhile since I went out for ice cream."

Thread end?

"Then we need to fix that!" Diarmuid grins at Kit and then carefully starts to get down from the tree. Once he is on the ground, he looks up at her, bouncing on his feet as he waits for her to join him.

"Ice cream and stories! It's a great way to spend the time on such an important day!"
