OTA - Uncle Pinky - A wandering bard isn't barred from many places

This... was not where he was supposed to be. Story of his life, really, just usually it was intentional. Being here without Miranda was a little disconcerting, but Donovan was used to rolling with the punches. That's just how he rolls. When he isn't too busy rocking. Thankfully his axe came with him. After reading the pamphlet and looking everything over, he took stock. His Axe was still strapped to him and ready to rock, acoustic or electric should the Maestro appear. Shirt. Pants. Hot pink jacket, check check and check. He lifted his shirt and looked at his chest. Well... he'd miss his Kelsheen mark, being somewhere new. But that was fine, if there were any Orcs, he could fall back on his mastery of the Orcish tongue.

Alright then!

Putting on the necklace, tucking it under his shirt, and putting everything else he woke with in pockets, he set out and started exploring. The pink jacket was certainly eye catching and hard to ignore, and the black shirt under it only seemed to make it pop all the more. Thankfully for people's eyes, the guitar on his back covered a chunk of it. He checked out the university, and wandered around, mostly in that area. And rather than follow the guide to starter housing, when it started getting later he found a busy enough area in a park, and wrote up a sign with whatever he could find around that was clean.

"Uncle Pinky - Donovan Deegan - Professional Bard - will trade one performance for one night of comfortable shelter and good food."

Setting up the sign, he sat on a bench behind it, and started to play a slow low ballad, axe settled carefully in his lap. He might not have his wife or kids here, but he had his guitar, so he wasn't alone. The warm strings against his fingers was like the firm handshake of an old friend.


(Yes, his icons are from early series, Donovan is from after retirement, however.)

Demyx tended to wander about the city when he wasn't playing, and that day he was walking with his hands in his pockets. He found the university and made a face, why would anyone voluntarily study there?

The ballad caught his attention and he moved his wandering towards the sound. He didn't get too close, listening to whatever the bard was playing instead of asking for a performance because he wasn't in a position to meet his price, but when the song he was playing ended, Demyx did step forward to offer a tip.

After all, he knew how it was, it was how he was making his living.

"It's nice, uh your music." He smiled and held out the bill.

He sure was wearing a bright pink jacket, unlike Demyx who was covered head to toe in black.

"Yeah, me too." Demyx smiled.

"No, that's not..." He waved his hand, it wasn't what he meant.

"Classical stuff mostly, and whatever comes to mind. Stuff I pick up."

"Ah, you don't have to!" Demyx said quickly.

"I liked what you were playing before."

Demyx smiled and gestured. "Do you mind if I listen for awhile?"

"Thanks." He grinned and sat down next to him on the bench.

"And uh, no I don't know your work...or Oblivion Folder?"

He listened quietly, smiling pleasantly as he watched. This mysterious pink stranger was pretty cool.

He snapped his fingers along with the beat, just because music had a way to move people like that.

[Ted, another man who dresses too colorfully for his own good, frequents the park...frequently. His ears catch the lilting and he obediently wanders over, reading the sign as he listens.]

"Sounds reasonable! I've never seen you before; haven't gone through your funds too quickly, I hope. What do you call this one? And yourself, while you're at it."

[Wow! Talk about being candid. That's quite the intimate detail to share at first blush. Ted had an uncanny knack for unwittingly knowing such things, but never quite that fast. Combine that with the talk of financial scams, and Ted wondered if he wasn't in a confidence game.

Well, he'd indulge to the tune of seven bills. Maybe he'd get another one for it.]


Ah, well, I can help with one of those. Not the shelter, but the ah, food. One of the starving artists, then?

[He joked. A son, eh?]

I'm sorry to hear that. You look so young to have a son.

[He still didn't get a name! Confound this bard. Maybe it's because he hasn't his offered his own yet.]

Ah, pardon. I'm Ted.

When Donovan reached a break in the music, he applauded for him appropriately. "I really like it, you're so good!"

He'd probably been playing for years and that was something Demyx couldn't compete with, not yet. It was something to be admired.

"Hah, pleasure to meet you, Donovan. Irish? That's some salvific stock you've sired. So the Irish saved the world, eh?"

He laughed since both names shared the same root, he's sure: something about dark brown. Though he didn't detect much of that color in his new acquaintance.

"Like a what?" Demyx blinked a few times, somewhat confused by what he said.

"But yeah, I like doing that too." He grinned. "I play all the time."

"Huh." He shrugged a little, oh well, nevermind that pun.

Demyx laughed that time, and grinned at him. "Ah, well I would, but I left he temporary housing already, I've been here for a bit longer than that."
