Duster's Relatively Relaxing Week

characters: Duster and You
location: The Invincible, the Armory, and the School
date/time: January 10th-18th
content: Duster practicing the language of the spirits, sparring with Link, and taking advantage of the yarn bomb
warnings: second prompt is closed

A. The Invincible, January 10th - 11th

[With Daylight's notes on communicating with the spirits (and the blizzard giving him a great reason to stay indoors), Duster has the obligation to practice with his new light blue ocarina. It's different from the double cello bass - no strings to glide calloused fingers over, no heavy board to feel vibrations through. Just a thin ceramic that needs holes precisely covered with his rough hands. The first attempts at playing music created plenty of screeching. Good thing no one is nearby to hear...or are they?

At least by the second day, he has a decent feel on the language, not that he can play without his notes. There's so many hole combinations.

And boredom leads to experimentation. Namely, he wants to see if he can recreate DCMC songs on the Ocarina, just to make sure he remembers his parts. Unfortunately, after getting two notes in, he pauses, starts from the top, makes the same mistake, starts from the top...

Say anything about Duster, but he's dedicated to practice.]


B. Armory, January 13th [CLOSED TO LINK]

[He's stretched his legs, now it's time to keep to his plans. He's going to send a text message instead of an audio message. It will take a few minutes, but he's learned.]

this is duster meet me at the armory in an hour

[That's doable. No spelling errors. He retreats to the basement, tests out the targets, and warms up in the middle of the wide space before the sparring session.]

C. School, January 18th

That's...nice of the spirits to do this. [Why is the yarn in the trees? Is this another cultural thing like the onions and bread? If it's a peace offering, Duster won't ignore it. On his way to the school for lunch, he takes a few of the pieces with patterns he's interested in - polka dots and zigzags and the like. He could use something warmer for the winter, anyway. Tazmily never got this cold.

About half an hour later, his arms are full of fabric and his stomach is empty. It's lunch time, and he smells something delicious inside the school.

And since you're here, he might as well ask:]
Want to see what they have there to eat?

"Could try it. But I'm gonna guess no. Nobody's light anything works here, not the way it should." They get out some bowls, and start pouring soup for them both. They offer one to Duster. "Want cheese or bread or anything with it?"

"You're welcome. Nobody should be alone." The Soldier smiles. "And cheese is a good choice." And goes to get the cheese and grater. It's definitely good to not be alone, even just for long enough for lunch.
