I've been very preoccupied the last couple of weeks. Baltha is taking form, fast! Louise contacted me with a role, asking if I was interested, cause she really wanted me to play it, and it's... perfect. Really, the more I talk to her I realize how much I have in common with her, and it's kinda awesome. Anyway, my character, Penelopeia, is a priestess of life and death, a healer, and friend, confidant, not to mention lover to the Queen. I'm constructing her personality and her childhood, and I'm getting really into it. I think I wrote some awesome sequences so far, and I have many more in the making.
Yesterday I wrote a song for the team. A lullaby, to fit a melody I heard at a wedding last year, and haven't been able to forget since. It's originally russian, but I found the tekst in both Danish (as I heard it) and English since. I'm working on another text, that has no melody so far. Which is a kinda risky way to make a song, but I have some very talented guiding to help me. Rikke is awesome like that. Also, I really want to make something on Mountains of Eylindar, but that's on the backburner for now. I'm kinda scared of tampering with that one, it's so beautiful, such a small mistake could ruin it. But I'll give it a go, and if it sucks, I just won't let anyone see XD
In my mind, the design for my dress is already done. I just need the material. Apart from that, I really should make a list of needed equipment. I've found the perfect shoes on etzy. I should make some warmer ones of leather and/or suede, though. A slipper-like thing, for colder weather. I already got a hairpiece. And I found the perfect pendant for my Avia-necklace, which is on its way.
I need to make a nightshift and a bathing-dress. Last part will be tricky. Bathing takes place in a lake, and priestesses wear white -.- (I wanna have a talk with whoever came up with that brilliant idea! XD) I'm thinking layers are the way to modesty. Layers and luck. Especially cause I'm planning thin, flowy, flimsy materials. I should be looking for something skin-colored to wear underneath XD Maybe that dance-costume material they use to make women look more naked then they are? I wonder how that works up close..
Well. If all else fails, Louise and I agreed to go on a desensitizing campaign. Simply get used to being somewhat naked. That's sure to bring joy to the workshops O.o

I also need a cloak or the like. And a bedarrangement. Something with lots of skins and leathers. We're going to be in tents, and though summer nights are usually nice in temperature, you never know when a sudden drop is going to surprise you. So I'd rather be on the safe side. If it gets hot, it's always easy to throw the skins off. ... Note to self: Make sure nightshift doesn't allow any slips.
Now... I will get back to making that music.
