i wanna tell you a story. ain't got no characters in it but me. i wanna sing you a sad song. most of it i don't expect you to believe. it starts off just the whiskey and wine, miles of travel and some real good times. but it ends in a dark corridor, and there ain't no windows and there ain't no doors.
Owain: Ahh, Brady. Perfect timing. Come here a minute. Brady: Meh? What do you want? Owain: What's a festival without music, am I right? Brady: Uh, I guess? So what of it? Owain: Then what are you waiting for, Brady? Or should I say... Grand Fiddlemeister Brady, beloved of the earth below! Brady: Haw?! Owain: Come! Now is the time to unveil your hidden powers of song! Make the sacred dragonsbeard sing! Play us a chorus of eternal prosperity! Brady: Eternal what, now? What are you even talking about? Owain: O dark and tragic day! Is my voice too soft to rouse your soul to wakefulness?! ...... Ugh. Work with me, Brady. I'm asking you to play music. Brady: What, because they're havin' a festival, you want me to play violin? Owain: There! Perhaps your soul's slumber is not so deep after all... Now take in hand the miraculous dragonsbeard, and— Brady: And what's with all this dragonsbeard business? Violin strings are made from catgut, and my bowstrings are horsehair. No dragons involved, see? Owain: Gods, you're no fun at all. It's called poetic license! I'm adding drama! Brady: Yeah, whatever. Look, are we done? We got a battle to fight here. Owain: Wait! Come on, play us a song! Brady: Pass. I'm outta practice. I haven't played in weeks. Owain: But it won't be a proper festival without music! Brady: It won't be a proper festival with a buncha Risen walkin' around, neither! Owain: Aww, come on! Pleeeease?! Brady: GAH, fine! If it'll get you off my back, just...fine! Owain: You'll do it?! Brady: Not like I got much choice. Sheesh... All right. You wanted music — you got it. Sit down, shut up, and listen!
