'I'm not sure how long it's been since I've filled my belly on good food or even a drink, but as I traveled I felt my stomach lurch and twist. I felt hunger kick in which drove me to the Filthy Wench tavern. It was a little hole in the wall packed with people of questionable company. However, this wouldn't stop me from setting my guitar case down leaving it opened and empty as I strummed the guitar.'
She strummed once and waited a second before continuing a pattern of C and G. This was intentionally to gather the attention of the crowd and it successfully did so. The little tavern was dry, its 'stage' looked ran down and poor, like it hadn't been used in decades...or centuries.
Eventually she began following a rhythm between C G F, and C G. She parted her lips and her Irish accent spread across the room, "I woke up with a pain inside my chest." She paused and gazed across the room, "Well no not a pain, more like ah emptineees. If I ever locate it ah'll say it's in my head or I'll say it's in my back."
Her voice raised for the chorus, "I will foooollow my heart. I will follow my heart." She paused briefly, "Maybe we'll staaart, somethin' new."
"I always see you between awake an' asleep. So it's no surprised that I like to keep," she took a breath and kept the depressing tone alongside the rather joyful chords, "my lips closed don't you see? To see the blue veins underneath."
Once more her voice raised, "I will foooollow my heart. I will follow my heart. Maybe we'll start something new. Just me and yooou." She struck the last note and bowed her head hopeing for some kind of applause, instead she was greeted by a silence that struck her harder in her stomach than in her pride.
Her head would raise but her eyes continued to look down as if begging for a penny. She set the butt of the guitar down on the ground and leaned on it imagining bad things happening to the crowd but nothing happened.
She would raise the guitar once again and strum it to begin another song.

Bee would soon find that the next song would be unnecessary as her case would soon have enough money for a room for the night. The man responsible for it gave her a nod. ”It’s customary to leave something for such a display, but among these people you’d be better off trying your luck somewhere else.” He said before turning to leave. If she wished to stay here then that would be her business. You could offer a person advice, but there was no way to force them to take it. As for the money it was just that. It held no value to him nor did he have a need for it. So it wasn’t as if he would ever use it. There was still the matter of food. If she choose to spend on that then let her, but as he said earlier staying here would gain her nothing. He began to walk out. He had no reason to be here to begin with. Other than just to be here. His presence hadn’t been necessary elsewhere. Best not to stay to long however. That might lead to some unwanted pleasantries. Things he had been careful to avoid in the past. ______________________________________________________   Tag: Person to Post Next Song: ”Unfolding Time” by Broken Iris Key: Thoughts “Dialouge” |

'It was unusual to see such kindness. I may have only been traveling this world for a day but I still hadn't seen anyone give without getting in return. Perhaps I was a bit naive but what I saw dropped in my case...'
"Sir, this is too much," Bee would say out loud gathering the money together and putting her guitar in the case all in one quick stride. Her fingers worked like tiny little ants in unison quickly latching the case closed and gathering it up around her shoulder following at his heel holding the money out to him.
She was very aware the crowds eye followed her hand, but she wasn't aware of the grim truth that they were more greedy than needy. Where she needed food they just wanted what she had. What else she didn't realize was the hair on the back of her neck stood on end and something in the corner of the room shadowy as it was moved forward to the light far behind her, the greedy people didn't move as if out of fear or respect now. Their eyes left her and went back to their dirty cups and mugs.
Very unaware of what had happened she continued to follow after him offering his money back, well most of it, she still wouldn't mind having just enough for bread and water. Perhaps in another life she had manners because this came naturally to her even if she didn't know two squats about who she was or where she was.
"Sir please, I don't need this much. Just enough for food."

Darius slightly turned his head at her comment. Most would have taken it without little more than a thank you or something similar to that effect. Bee might have missed that man, but he hadn't even if he showed no signs that the man had been spotted, but he had. Better off that he stay put. He shook his head denying the money she was trying to give him back. ”You'll need someplace to stay.” he hadn't even turned around to speak to her, but continued outside. If she was still following him he would suddenly stop off to the side of the road bending down to touch the ground as a tree sprung forth. Growing much faster then it should as she would find instead of just one type of fruit it had many on it. ”Go back inside.” he said looking over his shoulder. At first glance it might look like the comment was aimed at Bee, but even she would soon realize that his eyes weren't on her. They passed over her shoulder to the man following her. ______________________________________________________ Tag: Person to Post Next Song: ”Unfolding Time” by Broken Iris Key: Thoughts “Dialouge” |

'Perhaps it was sorcery or some other logic, I had not known. Nothing surprised me in this state of stupor, with the single most gruesome memory from my past that I recalled this was nicer. Different to say the least. Perhaps, had I let my guard down?'
Absent minded she continued to follow him trying her hardest to return at least some of the money. She was a roamer, no real reason to stay here and she wasn't sure where else to stay. The Filthy Wench proved to be, dangerous.
"But-"
"Go back inside." said Darius, she was unsure whom he spoke to until her eyes met his and his were not on her but behind her. With so much happening she didn't know how to respond to the situation.
Her feet clumsily turned her and she stumbled a bit walking backwards now toward Darius keeping her eye on the man. Perhaps she shouldn't of been so mindless to her surroundings. In the light of the situation though she felt unusually safe and she wasn't fully sure why.
"I-," she paused and stammered on her words going silent again.

Darius shook his head at her repeated attempts to return it. He really didn’t need it, but more than that she was attracting unwanted attention that wasn’t good for her. ”I would suggest not being so forward with that. Even here there are those that would take advantage of you if only to get it.” he said picking something off of the tree that had just sprouted and tossed it to her. He really didn’t need the money for anything as she had just seen. The man however ignored his warning, but he still made no move to face him. ”It’s pointless to continue at this point. The money isn’t worth fighting over.” The man would soon find himself in his own personal hell. If Darius didn’t have to he would rather not have to fight at all, but the man’s eyes grew wide at what only he himself could see. He fell back as if trying to crawl away from some unseen force. Before scrambling to his feet. He didn’t run back to the inn, but rather as far away as his feet could carry him. Darius lightly shook his head. ”What is it?” he asked Bee. Well he could possible get what she was trying to say from her mind he’d rather not invade those confines if he could avoid it. ”I won’t be taking the money back. I have no need for it.” he said. His face had never left that neutral look it always had. ______________________________________________________ Tag: Person to Post Next Song: ”Unfolding Time” by Broken Iris Key: Thoughts “Dialouge” |

'Here and now, my confusion set in. I watched this man basically go insane before my eyes and even after trying to get him to take the money back I felt ungrateful for it; as if I didn't earn it. But there was other things at hand.'
She didn't turn in time to really catch it, she fumbled the fruit in her hand dropping it slightly before it hit the ground. It rolled slightly before her hand wrapped around it. Doing this made her completely miss the man jet away.
Standing up her eyes came to him she wrapped her hand around the money tightly and took a bite a bite from the fruit. For the first time in a long time she felt refreshed, even from this one bite. She finished what she was going to say, "I really appreciate it. But it's still too much for what little I've done to earn it."
Another bite from the fruit filled her stomach, it was juicy and sweet hitting not only her hunger but her thirst all at once. Even then she was still thirsty but not in the same way, it was hard to explain.
"Is there anything else I can do to possibly earn it?"

It didn’t matter if she was still hungry there was obviously more. He didn’t move to walk away however. He took a seat under the tree that had just been formed. He had dismissed her objection before she had even finished saying it. ”Does one have to have a reason to help another?” he asked. His eyes weren’t on her however. They were looking up. Besides she would’ve wanted it. He shook his head at her question. ”No. But why did you choose here of all places to try to collect money for food? The name is Darius.” he said once more turning his attention back to her. What someone could do and what someone should do. Those were two entirely different matters. And he should help her since she was lost in a new world and clearly not from here. ______________________________________________________ Tag: Person to Post Next Song: ”Unfolding Time” by Broken Iris Key: Thoughts “Dialouge” |

'Perhaps I hadn't thought of it before, or perhaps it just never occurred to me why I had chosen the hole in the wall that I walked into to try and perform for money. Everyone in there were more interested in booze, hookers, and money anyways...'
Bee simply shrugged, she didn't have a real good answer for him aside from, "It was the first stop and everything around here looks about the same. Besides it's a bar. And they had a stage... Granted it was dusty."
She fiddled with the strap to her guitar fixing her mistake of not properly closing the case earlier. While she did so she listened to him talk and introduce himself, 'Darius'. Once again she lifted her case up around her shoulder.
"I think my name is Bee," replying to him and took a moment, "And no, I don't think anyone needs reason to help, but I just don't feel like I've earned as much as I've been given. It just feels like too much."

Darius slowly shook his head. ”Sometimes what is easiest is not always best.” he told her. She had picked a rather bad place to perform in fact. Just because something was there didn’t mean it was the best way to get something done. Sometimes exploring and taking the slower route often proved to be more useful and productive then the obvious route. He watched as she properly secured her case. Something that perhaps should have been done a tad earlier, but he made no comment on it. He was just trying to think on things honestly. Darius nodded to her as she mentioned her name. He had heard it. He shook his head at her next comment. ”It is simply enough for food and a place to stay.” he said simply. Truth be told it really was enough for that. ”Lost your memories?” he asked. Her comment on her name was almost a dead giveaway of that. If only he could forget his. She might see it was bad luck, but Darius would see such an opportunity as a blessing. Not always was the past something you would want to know. ______________________________________________________ Tag: Person to Post Next Song: ”Unfolding Time” by Broken Iris Key: Thoughts “Dialouge” |

She fiddled with the strap a bit, "I don't know exactly." She replied gazing toward him rather emptily. Three days ago she was a different person completely being watched over by a dark being that she assumed was her master. Now she was only a pup without the slightest idea what was going on.
"I suppose so. I named myself off of this instrument, it's got an engraved name in the back side of it. But-" She lowered her head slightly in thought as she talked. "I'm not sure if I ever was a different person. What if I was just created for some reason?"
Bee turned slightly to her left looking up at the tree, "No, that's not right. I recall one memory from who I was and it clashes with who I am now. But it's given me a guide to go off of, somehow."

Darius frowned at her comment. He could bring back her memories, but was that something she really wished to know. ”It's a fine name.” he said bringing his thoughts and focus back to the present. He didn't bother to stand back up however. ”Everything exists for a reason. Even if that reason remains unknown to them.” he said simply. Call it a fools desire, but it was only a bit of philosophy. If there was nothing to hope for then what did existing matter? Darius only gave her a small nod before he decided to offer her what she was missing. ”Do you wish to have your memories back? About who you were?” he asked. Memories were a difficult thing to destroy. Although it wasn't entirly impossible, but to do so required a great deal of effort. More then likely they were just lying dormanant, but that was something he wouldn't know until he actully looked at her mental state. Restoring them would take a while as well. ______________________________________________________ Tag: Person to Post Next Song: ”Unfolding Time” by Broken Iris Key: Thoughts “Dialouge” |

'I'm not sure...'
Bee kind of shrugged at him to his question. She wasn't fully sure herself. What she knew about her past life was that she was a murderer and not normal. Granted, she was pretty sure if she got her memories back she wouldn't change who she was now... She thinks. It wasn't completely known what would happen if she came across that darkness that lurked protecting her or if she regained what was lost...
"I don't know. On one hand, I'd like to understand what I am and who I am. On the other hand, the last memory I saw terrifies me just a bit," she paused and shook her head, "How could I possibly be that way? I am not a murderer I am just a girl with a guitar... Right?"

Darius wasn't going to push her. After all this was her choice. It might very well be one of the most important choices she would have to make. Sometimes knowledge of ones past could change everything. Did change everything. And for that reason he wouldn't force it on her. If she wished to know then that was her business and he would help her remember, but if not then he would let it go and leave it be. Darius gave her a small shrug. He wasn't one to guard his words. If someone asked he would answer truthfully. ”I cannot say.” he answered her honestly looking past her now to make sure no one was still trailing her for the money. ”The events in a persons past can sometimes determine their entire future. Until you know what it was those memories are there is no way to say for certain one way or the other.” he said. Even for him. While me might be able to look upon possible outcomes to what would happen until it did there was no garenteeing what would happen. The future was never set in stone. It never had been or would be. That was why the decision was up to her. And he was still waiting on an answer. ______________________________________________________  Tag: Person to Post Next Song: ”Unfolding Time” by Broken Iris Key: Thoughts “Dialouge” |

She stared at him thoughtfully, even if she was a bad person in her past life, that didn't mean it would shape her future, or at least she nievely thought and wished it wouldn't. The thought of knowing scared her, what if she learned something that would ruin her perception on the current happiness she was enjoying?
"I guess I'll see when the time comes. I am still forever in your debt," she bowed to him slightly, "With this money I think I can eat happily for a few days. I'm sure no one will mind me sleeping outside in their tree, or in a pleasant area by the ocean. Luxury can be passed on to not waste kindness like you have given me."
