2nd Melody [Action//Audio]

[echoingmelody]

[Within Union tonight, a certain musician is seated, playing her instruments, including a new one she'd found laying around in the old city. Nothing fancy, but it added to the feel of her music. Her music isn't loud enough to rouse anyone from their slumber. Quite the opposite, really. As always her music is soothing and relaxing.

As she picks up the tempo, Xiu begins to glow, her entire body and instruments shimmering with an eerie, yet beautiful light.

...and then she disappears.

A few seconds pass, leaving an odd silence, until the musician slowly fades back into view, her instruments resuming playing as if nothing happened. However, anyone watching can see a strange, almost indescribably aura as Xiu basks in the moonlight, and those who happen to be passing by might feel an urge to come closer and listen.

Her song also plays through the network via her warp band.]

So I helped in my own way.

[brandnewshoes]

Yeah! No doubt about that!

[echoingmelody]

[Xiu likes to believe that her music could provide an escape from the harsh realities of the world for troubled people, and herself.]

Do you think there will ever be true peace?

[brandnewshoes]

...yeah. Someday. People can't fight forever, can they?

[echoingmelody]

I don't think so. I hope not, anyway.

[brandnewshoes]

We just gotta... show people. I don't know. They need to see that there's more than fighting. And that it's dangerous.

[They both met that god.]

[echoingmelody]

[Honestly, Xiu's done a lot of thinking since that meeting.]

Right! But even so, nothing will change overnight.

[brandnewshoes]

Yeah... that's true. We can't make it all happen at once.

[echoingmelody]

We'll just have to do it a little at a time!
