Chapter 3: Voices in the Dark [action]

[avatardealwithit]

[Korra's gotten bored of the daily school life and she finally heard about the Dark Hour. Naturally, she's confident enough to try going solo. And no, she hasn't awakened her Persona yet.]

Alright, what's so scary about this Dark Hour? I won't need a 'purse owner' or what ever it's called to handle these things. They can't be worse than Amon now.

[And she just pushed her luck because a Visceral Maya attacks. She managed to dodge the attacks but her own counters aren't even scratching it. She stepped back and readied herself into another fight stance when there was a blue shining aura above them. Korra looked up and heard a woman’s voice. A mass of water appeared and shaped into a  naked woman. She continued to float above Korra. ]

I am thou...Thou art I. I am the water spirit Undine. I shall grant you my power when you need it most.

[As if to prove her point, she aims a strong jet of water at the Shadow. Well, that was new. Korra blinked but cracked a confident grin.]

Okay I'm not sure what just happened but this works. Let's go, Undine!

[ It's early in the morning. You're probably still trying to get some sleep, especially if you spent some time fighting the shadows that roam the streets. Unfortunately, you're in for a rude awakening. Because this morning, a certain guest has arrived. And boy, is he causing a fuss in the Hotel's Lobby. If you happen to be in the hotel, you can head on down to see the commotion first hand. Otherwise, you may get an accidental video feed. Except the video is focused on an empty plate. But at least you can hear, right? ]

What do you mean that's all the food you have? You've got to have more! I can't start the day without at least a twelve course breakfast!

[ ♚ action ]

[ Sheryl was at the park. He promised her a race.

Fortunately, a group of amateur performers appeared to be performing today. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before she starts a fight with the leader. She was calling them amateurs and told them that at their level they will never become professionals. ]

That is not how you play that song! And even if it is, do you not have an ounce of creativity?

We are still learning! We haven't been playing long! It's only been a year!

A year? And you still only at this level? You should at least be able to read notes! Are you trying to make a mockery of real performers? If you are not taking this seriously, you might as well go home now.

Where is the heart?!

Give me that.

[ Taking his guitar. Of course, the group protests and begins trying to move towards her. The leader stops them and told them that he wanted to see what she can do.]

Let's see if she is as good as she claims.

I will show you the difference between amateurs and pros.

[ ♚ video ]

[ One of the performers was willing to bet that Sheryl was only full of hot air. He decided to take a video of Sheryl's performance. The first few seconds are of Sheryl adjusting the guitar. ]

When you sing, your heart should be in every note. Not just when you feel like showing it.

No matter what you are singing ... believe it ... feel it ...

[ She began playing the first few notes of 'Diamond Crevasse.' Her expression becomes quite solemn. ]

When I was still in love with god,
I never expected such a farewell would come.
If I had known I could never feel your touch again,
I would've hoped to be embraced just one last time.

It's long long good-bye...

Goodbye, goodbye, so many times,
I repeated the word to myself,
Waving my hands. It's only graceful, right?
Now, I long to be stronger.

[ ooc: Sheryl & NPC. Sheryl being her usual Tsun self. She actually thinks the performers were good but she couldn't stand seeing them so uninspiring with their music. It was a waste of good talent. If they weren't any good, she wouldn't have talked to them at all. ]
