[The journal picks up the sound of someone carefully picking out a tune on a Linkite ocarina. Much like the last time he was heard playing it, the notes are a bit uncertain, and there are a lot of false steps.

Gradually, something changes, though. The meandering attempt at a folk tune turns into a clear tune.

The music stops, then, and almost absently, Yuan begins to sing.]

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway to heaven...
When she gets there, she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.

[a bit more ocarina instrumental]

And she's buying a stairway to heaven...

((ooc: Slowly edging out of my hiatus. Song continued in comments. Welcome to April!))

Comments

[cloakand_danger]

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

[ocarina instrumental!]

[cloakand_danger]

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on!

[cloakand_danger]

Your head is humming, and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

[instrumental!]

[cloakand_danger]

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walk a Lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
That everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock, and not to roll...

[cloakand_danger]

And she's buying...
A stairway...
To heaven.

[the song ends, and there's a rather thickly disbelieving silence that follows]
