Sylvi startles at his voice, blinking at him in surprise. Then a dumbfounded nod.

Glamour powers spotlights that highlight the nearby stage dais.

Coltton kisses herr, fueling Sylvi with a bi of glamour, then putting a drop of his into the bale and he muters, Sylvi can hear it 'Take good care of my girl"

The shadows behind the curtains grow deeper.

The kiss takes her perhaps even more of a surprise, what with his glamour boost.

Romana comes up, the boggan smilign ot Lucia "if I don't help you help this this place will never be organized properly without bogann energy"

Sylvi refocuses and starts to chant quietly in counterpoint to Piper's singing, "Goldfinch Freehold...Goldfinch Freehold...Goldfinch Freehold...."

Piper has found her guitar, and plays now, without singing. Her hoof still beating, and glamour flowing. Gift of Pan… but not with the normal tinge of removal of inhibition, leading often to lust. Today, her music inspires… Independence, and Expression, playing to match Sylvi’s chant!

And Zane joins in, his own glamour flowing i, annd some cantrip as well

Gesturing for others to join.

"...Goldfinch Freehold..."

"...Goldfinch Freehold..."

His mouth moves, even unheard, “Goldfinch Freehold.”

Voices join and swirl, rising as if a flame of their own.

Therre's a boom and some of the wiring is alive, power in in the place as Margiliata calls out "Goldfinch Furking Freehold" Nockerrr glamour helping the old tech wake up

As others continue the chant, Sylvi intones, "This freehold is for the commoners...for those who wish to walk a different path. The titled are welcome and all friends are cherished, but nobility does not rule here. This is OUR mews! There will be threats to it, no doubt, but it is OURS...if we can hold it, keep it, and feed it well."

And folks chant ad howl, annd the puny bale rises up like a bonfire, not it's normal size no doubt, but things stabilzing as it puffs up to show them what it can do

“GoooOOOOoooOOOOooooold FINCH!” Connor snuck in!

Gerd casts two shadows in the fire's light, her own, and that of an older man

"You tell hem, Connor" Etsie approaches "Dam, if I werre ever to make a my last dance this would be a good moment, but that would make it about me, not you kids" The old goat says "So, I guess I'll give it a bit of glamour yet and some music eh?"

Sparkling motes of more than just dust dance in the spotlights streams.

Folks are suprrised, a childling AND a grump?

As it should be!

Sylvi laughs at the wonderfulness of it, and grabs Colton to dance with!

Connor tosses in his bit of glamour, with the taste of giggles and dirt and laughter. “I didn’t miss you at ALL.” He grins to Sylvi.

Sylvi gives Connor a bright smile and beckons him to dance if he wants!

Gerd laughs "Scamp"

Colton dances with Sylvi "Many blessings"

Connor saved his dance for his favorite sister… and his Knight… and Etsie….

Etsie strums some notes on her guitar, the kids are all right

Dag is an awkward dancer, but she gives it a go.

Sylvi is a bit breathless in Colton's arms, but manages a "Thank you. So very much."

Symon does… not… dance. But he does lean back into some of the new flickering shadows, watching, and maybe his smirk is even a smile in disguise.

Dirk stomps with Prissy

“careful! Those floor boards might need to be replaced!” Piper calls to the redcaps, laughing.

Symon may find that the spaces behind the curtains provide a surprising amount of buffer from the noise...and it's chillier back there....

And the hold seems to be... well, weaving itself with what it's been given, even in the autumn/morta side, it patches holes, rrestores walls

but there are some artfully 'stressed' parts of the building to please sluagh

Oh? I wonder if there are rafters. While they dance, Symon investigates.

Much as Piper may joke, the floor seems to be enjoying the pounding it's getting!

Rafters? Nooks..

There are, indeed, rafters and light rigging, and strange little spaces above the exposed pipes....

Yeah, he might have to come back to explore this more. Just to see, right?

Dagmar does retreat to lurk again. Not unhappy... but.. this isn't about her, she seeks the fringes again.

Yes.. and yes. The place is built for sound, but what Symon might notice is one wall has a chimeric lever on it that says 'quiet please ' with a red light that is not currently on

Sylvi dances with Colton for a bit, but eventually she does beg a break and sits down on the edge of the stage with a breathless smile.

Now THAT is interesting…

What the hell? He pulls the level, just to see. Maybe it’s the Satyr tunes that inspire him. Normally, THIS sluagh isn’t the one ruled by curiosity…

The red light goes on, and suddenly it's as if a volume knob has gone from 11 to 1. The music, the voices, all abruptly subdued.

His brows shoot up, and he flips the switch back. But he smiles - if he can reverse engineer this, every sluagh freehold will want one!
