Hey everyone!

First of all, welcome to all the new arrivals! Seems like we had a really big group this time. I'm sorry you got dragged into all of this.

Anyway, my name's Elliot. I'm a musician and a healer. If you're interested in music lessons, I offer private and group lessons for violin, piano, guitar, recorders, harmonica, or singing. It's always a good time to learn, and the first lesson's free! Oh and don't worry if your monster changes might complicate things, we'll find a workaround! Just let me know if you're interested.

Finally, for most of my stay here, I've been studying how to heal Cwyld infections under the Coven's infirmary. I've gotten pretty far...but I can only see so many people. So...I want to offer lessons to teach people what I've learned. I'm only allowed to teach methods that the Coven will approve of me sharing, but they should be effective at healing new or mild infections!

Unfortunately only witches will be able to do the techniques. Not only that, it's pretty tough stuff to learn and if it goes wrong it can lead permanent damage. So anyone who wants to learn will have to prove they're capable with alchemy and enchantments first. Sorry.

Anyway...let me know if you're interested, I guess.

[OOC: Sign ups for music lessons can be found here. Most lessons will be handwaved unless you want to hatch out a specific thread]

Huh. That sounds pretty close to the witches native to this place. Most of them can use magic but not everyone has the power to commit to magic fully like the witches of the Coven.

"Going outside the walls to fight the trolls"? Is that what's going on in your world?

Instrumental classical, mostly. I play violin and piano mostly in my performances, though I study other instruments and styles.

[scowlish]

Yes. From what I understand, my world is more similar to this place than most, though there are still a lot of differences.

For example, there is a disease that causes people and animals, any mammal really, besides cats, to turn into monsters. We call them trolls or beasts. I'm not immune to the disease, so I prefer to stay in the safety of the walls when I can, but it's not always possible.

Interesting. The only instrument I play is the kantele.

[fiddlestick]

There's another disease that can turn people into monsters? That...sounds pretty scary, if I'm honest. I don't blame you for staying in the walls.

[The fact these diseases exist is bad enough, but more than one of them?? Terrifying.]

A kantele? What's that?

[scowlish]

It's not a good disease, that's for sure. It wiped out most of the population in my world. We haven't brought it here, though. We made sure of it.

And a kantele is a type of instrument. Sort of wedge-shaped. Mine has seven strings, but they can range in size from five to fifteen strings, unless you mean a concert one. Those ones have a lot more. But I've only seen a concert kantele once.

[fiddlestick]

That's terrible...I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

Oh. So is it like a harp?

[scowlish]

It is what it is. We survive.

Sort of. Similar shape, but there's no space. If you want, I can show it to you sometime.

[fiddlestick]

Really?

I would love that! I really enjoy learning about new instruments and styles!

[scowlish]

I don't see why not. It's a good instrument. When would you like to look?

[fiddlestick]

Hahah, now?

Kidding- whenever you're available is fine with me! Easiest time to find me is evenings in the entertainment district. I perform there.

[scowlish]

Honestly, I have nothing going on now, if you really want.
