Was a project that Argent suggested all of a sudden, after the meeting in the Hall of Speakers. He was looking for Senstaes willing to offer musical instruments. Sileas volunteered, given she is a crafter and could as well make various instruments, that Tatja does not have for Sale.
Xuuja agreed and refered to her as well. The cogs donated by Argent were used to buy materials.

The name, that was later inspired by Ayrin and Sileas was used to give the child a name. The project should also give others a chnace who are often overlooked and still whished to help.

But one of the first ways Sileas did, was to go to the Hive, seeking out the Marble district. Rai'a and others may have ignored her, but she found her way. Given the fact she had played for the rufugees, they knew her already. Her song had given them a moment to come together and yes, even if they shed tears, it granted them a moment to actually process their terrible experiences. Families huddled together in comforting hugs and showed gratitude.

So it has natural, when the Bralani came again, they greeted her. She talked to them about a project of the Sensates and Signers, to help them. First and foremost it was to grant their children a way to overcome theit shock by doing something artistic. Also Sileas thought by herslef, who knows, if there were not talents among them, that could become musicians, actors or bards, that could potential Sensates or Signers once they come of age. For now, it was the adults that wanted to help them.



The refugess recognized her and made place in one of the houses in their district. Space to set up standing instruments as well as those to be held. In order to protect them from the harmful rain an ashes coming down, they needed it. Sileas was statiesfied they were open to let them do something good for the children. She even took messuerments and noted how much space there would be. Then she played another song of encouragement for them and went back to the Bazaar...

((OOC: This part of the project was played out and agreed with DM Dathi. I prefer no drama and conflicts, but anyone willing contribute something helpful to the project is welcome. ))

So Sileas could be seen at the Festhall or the workbench in the Bazaar sometimes, preparimg materials. Certain types of wood were bought from Layla, but also silver gathere for the best strings. Zalantar was often used to make stringed instruments. Rosewood and Cherry Tree was used for various kinds of flutes. But also more Metals were welcome and spcial wood in black and white Ivory for keys. Keys? Yes, Keys!

Among the held and standing instruments, even a Piano was planned. The Bralani was all aware, that more cogs would be needed, so she would contribute to the costs as well. SOnn she also began to make a blueprint, that would showm what parts are needed and who could take care of which. It seemed the Luruean Bralani still honored the teachings of her godess and tried to make the Impossible possile.



She would of course wait for those who agreed to help and share the work. Still many hands make early ends!

Nike adds about 5-10 instruments each of the following categories: Flutes, lyres, lutes, and drums, of various sizes for older and younger.

Factor Stardust finally comes through with contingent of Signer namers and Factotums that pledged to the project. While come with their own guards, they appeared to be in good spirits with positive mindset. Those hired from the refugees be provided tools for their crafting kits and blueprints. The first order of business with the Signers was open grill food pit. Those skilled in cooking with imagitive ways be providing the laborers and onlookers with food, and several for the masses offer tutorial and cooking classes for the primes.

A calling is made for anyone to come and listen as work began. Crates was brought in. Asked in orderly fashion and first come first serve basis, instruments and art kits be passed out to families.

"In this time, everyone has needs, Your needs. I refuse to let your mind come to stagnation, so come experience life with us and have breathing room. Those of you that need a way to work through your burdens or express how your doing, your welcome to the supplies to explore your imagination. We only ask that you share with us.

At the end of the month, a Festival of Arts will be held and anyone who wants their works to be displayed will be for the public to view and consume the art from the many lives and individuals here. Share your experience with us, the Signers and the Sensates."

After, the masons and carpenters start their work, Signers engaging the public in the Marble district, showing how to do things. How to be the very best they can be.

Those that came to the Marble District to entreat the refugees, about anything it seemed, would always be received warmly. It had been clear, after all, that the Planewalkers of the Cage had fought for them, physically and politically, since they arrived. Perhaps the refugees were suspicious at first of it, and maybe even too proud to accept help, but now they were quite ingratiated to the numerous activities provided and projects started for them.

The looks of shock, awe and wonder from the refugees were numerous as the goods rolled in. After all, the sorts of instruments crafted, enchanted and used by the sorts of people Sileas, Nike or Argent were, were quite simply beyond the expectations of the Primers. Back on their Prime, these instruments could well have been prized by a royal house, if they could even get their hands on one! Here, they are offered freely, it's simply staggering. That seemed to be how most of the conversations went, anyway.

All the while, the Harmonium were present. But unlike what most the Cage was used to, they weren't merely standing guard and glaring at anyone that came and went through the Marble District, no. It seems they were quick to help out, and always at hand to offer a lesson or two about playing the instruments. Odd? Not really, the Harmonium didn't call themselves Measures and Movers, intent on bringing about a Harmony for nothing! They were a surprisingly musical Faction. Disconcerting, some might say.

Overall, since the refugees had moved, the mood was getting better. Safety behind iron gates, and with roofs above their heads at times (though the sheer number of them meant the streets of the district were now packed with winding tent camps), and with no shortage of Harmonium to keep the Hivers out... Things didn't seem so bad anymore. Maybe they weren't good yet, but with recent announcements of the Factions being (forced, some chant reckons), to hand over lots of emergency funds, people were looking up once more, instead of at the ground.

Though, the Planewalkers coming and going could see, that the Hivers outside certainly weren't happy about it. Not one bit. Glares sharper than the daggers the Hivers wielded, would often be seen as they came and went, and the angrier/ballsier/drunker of the Hivers were quick to shout obscenities at them.

[Miyuki]

This was not all.


At the reactions of the Hivers, she still smiled and offered them the same support if they wanted. If the still refused, and insults would simply bounce off her. As her godess teaches, that a smile and good humor fends off evil better than weapons. Even if they hated them, sher asked them not to hate music and entertainment or the refugees.
She still went back to the Marble Distrct, anything thrown would be dodged or anyone follwing would graps into emptiness. In the latter case she just used a Dimensional Door to be faster and get out of the scene without voilence.

She thanked the Signers who were there to help and do what they can. Also the Instruments from Nike were accpeted happily. Also she rememebered that Brani had agreed to come and help with the transport. She also thanked the Harmoium guards for keepimg a watcful eye out and supporting the efforts.

What she brought with her, was one time Thellars, simle wind pipes for the small children with lovely patterns, some even remided of the Horn of a Unicorn. Them there were Okarinas for the elder ones, they had either simple shaped or that of animals, like Dolphins, Songbirds, Turtles, Frogs or Fishes. Them she had Mandolines with 3 or 4 strings, that were easy to play. For those who would like a challenge, even Theorbos with two pegboxes and a dozen of strings. Also there were Lyres in the Northern style with 4 strings, also beautiful Lap Harps with 6 strings. Also there was some Tantans with a fur and bells in their ring.

The show stopper might have been a standing Harp, that needed a fix place to be safe from the weather and vandalism. Same counted for the piano, that was taken there with help of Brani as well. Still a huge Instrument like this as hard and risky to carry alone.





First and formost, she asked the Harmonium guards if they could spare a few men or woman help guard the transport. She explained, this was in order to keep the peace with the obviously aroused Hivers, and to prevent things from getting out of hands and all help for the refugees would be destroyed.
