Maglor July catchall

Who: Maglor & whoever!
What: Maglor got a music box that broadcasts his thoughts. He doesn't know this. Yet. Also just general July things.
When: all though July
Where: all over
Warnings: depending on who tags him and what they ask, topics may delve dark



Music Box: Thoughts Edition

See, here's the thing about Maglor. His thoughts are noisy. His family could have mentioned how 99% of the time he was composing in his youth - this has not, in fact, gotten any better as he's gotten older - it's just that the 1% not dedicated to music got LOUD.

So it's a toss up if the music box tunes in to his thoughts if one is going to get a sudden jangle of whatever composition he's working on at the moment (it might sound like a cacophony of noise, or something very close to the most perfect symphony you've ever heard, depending) or just random rambling streams of thoughts.

He's surprisingly paternal, if you listen to his thoughts. There's a lot of worrying over... pretty much everyone.

Music Box: Memories Edition

The memories that the box picks vary - you might run into him staring fondly at the image of a large, noisy family doing all sorts of things from playing to crafting to fighting to just existing, to brilliant great light sources that happen to look a bit like trees, to beautiful cities that look like paintings, to much darker memories - lonely shores, fire and war, long tiring nights guarding those behind him, all the way to softly sad memories - dark haired twins in a cold castle.

He'll talk about any of them, if asked, but probably won't notice any watchers to discuss them without being prompted.

Soul Artifact

".............we don't have to do this, if you don't want to."

He's very not sure if he WANTS to know what his soul artifact is. But this is what they've been asked to do so...

(It's a harp. Just a harp. His shoulders will drop in relief when it is revealed - clearly, he was expecting something else. But when the strings are touched... Something like grief will cross his face. )

Trial of Promise

"You cannot leave until you..." He reads out slowly, in the dim cave his glow is striking, especially since there's no other source of light barring the words on the wall.

"...Ah." He sighs, unhappily.

Trial of Devotion

He eyes the mountain and wonders aloud, "Do you think they mind if we cheat? I wonder if I can put them to sleep?"

Alternatively, he could just fight his way up. The odds are better than many times in his past.

"What do you think?"

Trial of Love

He waits only until the rules are announced before stating, very calmly; "That's fine. I'll just break mine."

What is such pain after all, compared to all the pain he has already had in his life?

He'll immediately move to smash the harp on any available surface unless stopped.

Duo thought about that quietly for a couple seconds before he glanced up at Maglor again. "It's not too much for you, bein around me is it? I know I'm a 'lot'." The last thing he'd want was to make Maglor uncomfortable. And he knew he could be a little more tactile the more comfortable he was with a person. He'd just have to learn not to be like that with Maglor. Now he knew the line, he wouldn't cross it. Not again at least.

"... Might've seen someone like that." But Duo had never had the opportunity to go up and say hello. Now he had a perfectly good icebreaker. "Sure. Next time I see him around I'll say hi."

"I've been called a lot of things over the years, nostalgic ain't one of them!" Duo couldn't help laugh at the idea, but at the same time it made him oddly happy. He liked Maglor. He was a good friend and he'd have hated to know he was doing something, anything that would have made him uncomfortable.

"Huh... No worries, Mags. One of the first things you learn is never come up on a solider unannounced." Those are things you did once and learned fast, or it was the last thing you did. "I'll keep it in mind though." PTSD was a hell of a thing. If he ever had a chance to meet he guy, that is.

Duo smiled reassuringly. He was pretty certain he could defend himself. At the least he would be able to dodge if anything came at him. But it was better to avoid. Especially of it was something that Maglor didn't think his brother would feel comfortable with.

"Hope I don't give him a reason for it then. What's his name again?" Just so he knew what to call out and give the guys a heads up someone was coming his way. Even if that someone was a weird, long-haired human kid he'd never met before.
