<font color='#000080'>Day: Tessera, 29th Katrina sat on the ground at one end of the Courtyard. She squinted down at a stringed instrument she held in her hands. It almost looked like a triangular guitar. Kat had made it herself in her spare time. Now all she had to do was string and tune it so that it would work like a guitar. She would have rather bought one, but she couldn't really find a way to do that, so she made one instead. "Work, you piece of..." Katrina muttered under her breath as she struggled to attatch the last string to her self-made guitar. "Ah ha!" she exclaimed, as the last piece of her masterpiece was in place. She was glad that she did not have any scheduled classes today. Kat needed a mental health day everyonce in a while, otherwise she would snap. Katrina looked up at the various students in the courtyard and began to tune her instrument.</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>"Cool instrument there," Sirius said with a smile, as she saw her classmate from fighting class. "Looks promising!" She sat down. "Hope you don't mind if I have a seat. I'm no good with instruments and all, but I do have a decent singing voice."</font>
<font color='#000080'>"Of course, have a seat." Kat smiled. "How are things?" she asked, now trying to tune her guitar. Katrina bent her head low as she placed paw-like fingers on the right frets and strings, slowly tuning the instrument. "I made this thing myself... It actually sounds like it might work."</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>"Things are doing great," Sirius replied with a smile as she made herself comfortable. "I've been learning quite a lot in my warrior training, and met some great new people." She smiled, looking with curiosity at the interesting instrument. "You made this yourself? That's too cool. Can you play a song? Perhaps I can make up a song to go with it. I've always seemed pretty good at that."</font>
<font color='#000080'>"Sure, as soon as I'm... done!" Katrina held up her triangular guitar, beaming with pride. "Ta da! Now it's tuned and ready to go!" Kat was swelling with pride. She finally got this hunk of junk to work after months of effort. "Well, let's give it a shot, shall we? Let's see what sound right." Kat placed her fingers on the second fret, "String four, two, and three."</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>Sirius nodded, smiling with contentment with the soft sound the instrument made. It was a rather interesting sound, unlike anything she had ever heard before. She decided to listen to a few cords, like a prelude, before adding any vocals in.</font>
<font color='#000080'>Katrina hit a few chords and then plucked the strings, interchanging finger for finger rythmically. She switched back to chords and looked back to Sirius expectantly.</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>Sirius saw Katrina's look and decided that now would be the time to start her song. It was a song she had knew ever since she was a child, but she was not sure of where it had come from... "The lives of all I know and love, The lives of those I don't, Depend upon the paths I take, Or even those I don't. "I fight to keep the young alive, I fight to save myself, I fight against the crimson god, I fight against the fight And yet the end I know will come, A crimson path at best, But mind and soul shall be at ease, I led the warrior's path..."</font>
<font color='#000080'>Katrina nodded and put down her guitar. "That sounds familiar.... Where'd you hear that? Or did you just make it up on the spot?" She smiled and laid her instrument down. "I wonder what I should call this thing?" Kat said nodding towards her triangular guitar.</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>Sirius nodded. "I heard it once... when I was very young. The only thing I can remember was a pair of sky blue eyes behind the song... well anyways thats it." She then looked to the instrument and smiled. "A triangle?" she joked. "No uh seriously um... how about a kitara? Kind of sounds like a guitar, but not quite."</font>
<font color='#000080'>Kat let out a small chuckle. "I like it. 'kitara'..." she said, trying it out. "Nice!" Katrina paused, "... Anyway, what do you suppose we should do now? Assuming you want to spend any of your day with me." She smiled, looking around. "What do you say we find something fun to do?"</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>"Glad you like it," Sirius said with a nod. "Something fun to do eh? Sounds like a plan!" Sirius said with a smile. "So lets go then, I'm sure there's lots of fun things to do in one's time off!" Sirius was excited with the possiblities. Music had been fun, now what else would they find to do?</font>
<font color='#000080'>((These posts are getting ridiculously short seeing as how there is no plot! Â We ned to find someone else to role play with...)) "Where do you suppose we should go?" Â Katrina put her newly made and named instrument into a guitar case and hefted it over her shoulder. Â "Uh... how about we check out the dorms? Â I'm sure we'll be able to find someone up there. ((As soon as I check the posts in there that is... for what? Â The 26th or whatever day I made this RP be? 29th something like that...))</font>
<font color='#000080'>Kat skipped off down the path towards the dorms, hoping Sirius was following behind. She attemted balancing on two legs every once in a while and sometimes on just one hind leg which was made difficult with her kitara strapped to her back. ((OOC: Â Alright! Â I found a dorm thread with the same time stamp! Â Go me! ^__^ Â Anywho, it's titled 'New to the Dorms' Â i'm sure you'll find it alright! Â Buh bye now, I'll see you there! ))</font>
