Summary; A gathering of music~ more info here!
Log;

The stage was set: a clear sky above and soft grass below.

Some who came early were already arranged in a semicircle, chattering quietly among themselves. One corner of the sky was dark blue dotted with stars while the other was soft glowing red from the setting sun. Yet quite suddenly, a great light seemed to have given way to dark as the light from the West quickly faded, revealing the night sky behind it.

Arwen, seated on a stool before the gathering, tuned her lute. Hearing it, the crowd hushed into silence.

"I will begin," she said in a clear voice. "Yet not for being the best, for I believe we shall hear music of greater beauty as the night goes on. So let anyone come and play us their music, and let none be interrupted while they are here.

"However, apart from this rule, you may do as you wish. Should one of us play a dance music, do we not dance? Should one of us sings a familiar song, do we not wish to join them in harmony? This night is not for the showing of skills but for the pleasure of music. So let us all be filled with it."

She tried each string of the lute before turning back to the audience with a smile. "I shall begin."

The night deepened, but even the trees were hushed, leaning forward to hear the sweet music.


[ooc: So, reply to main post if you're attending/taking the stage/going to talk to Arwen. Then others may reply to your thread if they attend your performance/going to talk to you, then keep replying to each other there so that it's not confusing ♥

Arwen's song is from the Rowallan Lute Book (17c) titled Gypsies Lilt, performed by William Carter of Palladian Ensemble. Btw, actual uploaded music aren't compulsory, it's just nicer~]
