Welcome to Gaia! ::

So far, school had been pretty stellar, despite the fact that there was more studying than Liv had been used to. But otherwise, it was pretty cool to get to truly see her mother's world up close. When she was younger, Liv had gone to the Ministry with her mom a few times, and her mom did use some magic in the home, but actually getting to do it herself, that had been worth the extra studying. The downtime was pretty cool too. She wasn't as good at Quidditch as she had hoped, but she was still going to give it a shot. And all the clubs were pretty cool too. She'd made some pretty good friends and really enjoyed her house, even if it didn't fit her punk rock/goth aesthetic. All in all, school so far was going well.

On this warm fall afternoon, Liv had been wandering around the school with her guitar on her back, looking for a decent place to chill out and play some of her songs. She was humming a song she had been working on when she passed through the Quad. She stopped and looked around, then nodded. Outside fit her mood and while the Quad was typically pretty busy, right now it seemed like no one was chilling out here. Sitting on one of the low walls, she pulled her guitar forward, then fished her unfinished song lyrics out of her bag. She started to strum the song she was working on and sing lyrics, figuring out which ones worked better. Every few moments, she'd pause singing or playing, make a note on her work, then resume playing.

One of the only things Liv could really, truly focus on was her music and she could sometimes get lost in it. She was working on one of her songs, refining lyrics and matching them to the beat when someone else entered the quad. Liv didn't even really notice her until the girl spoke up, introducing herself. The raven haired girl looked up at her and took a moment to process that she was even speaking with her. "Oh, hey, hello. Sorry for the pause there, was really in the zone. I'm Liv. Olivia Scott-Wright, but everyone calls me Liv." She wanted to play with Liv and had a violin with her. Olivia didn't know any classical songs, but she did know some songs that had a violin in them. "What kind of music do you play? I'm mostly into like, rock and stuff. I do know this though!" she exclaimed and strummed out the opening to Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. "Oh, and this too," she said and played an acoustic version of the guitar solo in Master of Puppets. "My dad's in a band and they play a lot of the classics. He's the one who got me into music like that," she said, beaming brightly. Hopefully her new friend could play something like that that they could jam together.

So this chick was pretty cool, Liv thought to herself. "Oh chiz, heck yeah," she said and matched her on the intro to Smoke on the Water. After they finished, Liv giggled and said, "Wow, it's like me but blonde. I also play violin, but I'm no good. Just mostly focus on my guitar. But I can also play bass and drums too. A real Dave Grohl." She chuckled, then a thought hit her. "Ooh! Do you know the song The Call of the Mountain?! It's got some wicked violin and guitar action. If only we knew someone who played bagpipes! Not something you normally expect to say." She burst into laughter at the last line. Bagpipes were an interesting instrument and sounded really good, if you knew how to play them. If you didn't, it just sounded like you were abusing a poor goose. She'd heard more than her fair share of bad bagpipes players at her father's gigs. People thought they could just pick up the complicated instrument and have a go at it, but it really required practice.
