[the traveler has appeared on the edge of town along the road. anyone in the surrounding buildings may have heard it chirping and calling out as it runs toward the town square. and anyone it encounters along the way will have a close to three foot tall red cloaked creature running circles around them.

ooc; an example of the tonal chirps can be found here on a youtube let's play]

[Belle just happens to be out and about when she hears the traveler's chirping. Curious, she follows the sound to the edge of the village, where she finds it.]

Oh, hello there.

<another one! so many travelers here! but none of them sing just right. it's so straaaange >

[The traveler runs up to Belle and stops in front of her, looking up.]

♪?

Oh my.

[She bends down a bit so they're at the same level.]

Can you not speak?

< oh....she's like the Elders. So tall and now she's coming down to see me! Will I get a vision this time, too?>

♪~~~

[She smiles down at it.]

I'm afraid I don't understand.

< oh, there is no vision. hm....>

[It turns and starts to walk a circle around her.]

♪~

[She watches it circle her with a smile. After a moment she starts quietly humming, wondering what kind of reaction she'd get then.]

♪♪~~~

♪♪♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪♪♪ ♪ ♪ ♪~

[The humming gets a big reaction as the traveler speeds up and starts running a circle around her, chirping happily. It comes around to her front and stops, chirping at her.]

♪♪♪ ♪ ♪ ♪~

Oh my. [She giggles as she watches the traveler speed up its circling around her.]

You really like that don't you? [Encouraged she begins to hum the tune of a song she learned as a child.]

♪♪~♪♪♪~~

[Singing, the traveler runs in circles.]

♪♪~♪♪♪~~

[She continues with the tune all the while spinning in place to keep up with it.]

♪♪~♪♪♪~~

[suddenly, it stops and looks up at Belle. letting out a single note, it turns and starts to run off toward the woods, stopping halfway across the plaza to look back at her]

♩

[She's startled when it suddenly races off towards the forest.]

Where are you going? [She watches after it until it stops and looks back at her. It seems to be waiting for her to do something.]

Do you want me to follow you?

♩♩ ♩!

[it starts turning in a circle, waiting for her to come with it]

Well, alright.

[She starts after it, wondering where it could possibly be taking her.]

[on a journey!

the traveler is heading towards the mountains in the distance, trudging its way toward the forest. it figures Belle will follow if she is a traveler, too.]

♪

[And follow she does, even though she pauses for a moment at the edge of the woods. The last thing she wants to do is get lost in there again. But...she didn't want to leave the traveler alone either. It obviously had something it wanted to show her.]

♪♪♪~♪

[when it hears her sing, it stops and turns back, looking to see if she's found something or is simply asking it to wait.

it tilts its head and waits for her, wondering if she wants to come along after all or wishes to turn back]

[Belle catches up and waits to see what it'll do next. She doesn't know that her singing is sending it mixed messages.]

[once she catches up, it plods on ahead again, ready to lead her toward the mountain. it didn't work last time, but maybe this time the mountain will be right!]
