Babble

How very interesting. This person did with their own flesh what Babble did with his mind and very essence. Furthermore they were wound about the instrument, as much a part of it as any of the strings were.

The picture she painted was most interesting. There were multiple ways to draw an image with sound of course. For the average listeners music could illustrate an image through use of tones to evoke emotions or even mimic the sounds of an environment, both of which paint by guiding the listener's imagination as it filled in the blanks. For those who used sound to navigate instead of sight it served to map out the presence of physical objects via echolocation.


She wanted to know what his story was. She had shared hers after all, it was only natural for her to ask for his. It was innocent but all the while terrible question as his story was both simple yet complex and in all ways horrible. He was reluctant but at the same time he was hard pressed to deny someone who was into music quite that much.

After a few seconds Babble took hold of the image and started to shift it, bending it until it's shape matched the image he wished to illustrate. It was him in his simplest state, A Babble without connotation or context. Like a doll Babble was simply there, awaiting the hand to take it and give it purpose. Along with that image Babble played a note. It was a suspenseful note, and he held the tone as though awaiting an answer.


The question was simple. Did she really want to hear what came next?
