Silver: Alright, let's look for the Coggrass Root. We'll start in those bushes there…
Trey: Wait, wait, are you planning to search every bush by hand? Our current sizes are too small. We need to think more efficiently.
Silver: I see. Well then, we should split up into teams of two. We'll meet back up in 30 minutes at the courtyard well.
[Yuu nods]
Trey: Then, [Yuu] and Grim will…
Grim: Heh, leave it to me! I'll find it right away.
Grim: Follow me, [Yuu]! We gotta show 'em what the Gastronomy Club can really do~!
1. Roger that!
2. Eh!?
Trey: Ah! Hey, Grim!!
Trey: …He just confidently walked off, taking [Yuu] with him. Will they be alright?
Silver: I'm sure they'll be fine. We should believe in them.
Trey: I suppose that's all we can do. Then, we should head in the opposite direction of those two.
Silver: Coggrass, hm… I'm not finding a single one.
Trey: Yeah. I thought it was something that'd be growing everywhere… But at this small size, it's hard to tell the difference between the different types of grasses.
Silver: It also takes all of my strength to push aside the tall blades of grass, as well. This is actually quite the hard labor.
[rustle, rustle]
Silver: Trey-senpai, please halt. The grass just moved. Something may be nearby.
Trey: What do you mean, something…?
[they brace themselves]
Silver: It's a grasshopper.
Trey: A grasshopper? …Woah, you're right! I didn't notice at all, since it blended in with the grass.
Trey: Normally, it wouldn't be anything startling, but… Seeing it up close while small like this is completely different.
Silver: Yes, it is fairly larger than our currently sizes.
Silver: Looking at it up close, I can see just how well built its legs are. These must be the secret behind their superb jumping power.
Silver: Jamil was really focused on the grasshopper earlier. It seems he has an interest. I should tell him later…
Silver: Hup…!
Trey: What is it, Silver? Is there something going on with the grasshopper?
Silver: I thought I would climb on the grasshopper's back and ride it.
Trey: Ah, I see. You would climb on the grasshopper's ba…
Trey: …CLIMB ON THE GRASSHOPPER'S BACK!? YOU SERIOUS!?
Silver: Of course I'm serious.
Silver: A grasshopper can leap a distance many times longer than its own body length with one jump.
Silver: We wouldn't have a need to part the tall grass, and we would be able to take in our surroundings from a higher vantage. It should ease our search for the Coggrass.
Trey: Well, sure, I understand the logic… But is this really alright to do?
Silver: Alright…? What do you mean?
Trey: I mean, whether it's safe or not. See, just take a look at the grasshopper's body, it's.. kinda slick, isn't it?
Silver: Right, I understand your concern. Then, we should make a simple saddle and reins out of the grass growing nearby.
Silver: I should be able to make a basic one. I'll pluck some grass…
[snap]
Silver: I'll tear these into tinner strips and weave them together. …I'll finish them quickly, so please wait a short moment.
Trey: You're really going out of your way… I understand how it's done, so I'll make my own.
Silver: Then, we'll work on it together. It should go faster with the two of us.
Trey: Whew… Somehow, we managed to put on both of our harnesses on two grasshoppers.
Silver: Now then, pardon us as we climb on your backs.
[climbs and sits]
Silver: Not bad. It's a simple harness with just a saddle and reins, but I do not think we'll be in any danger of falling off.
Silver: We're all ready. Alright, grasshoppers, you can hop to whenever you're ready.
Grasshoppers: …......
Trey: …
Silver: …
Trey: …They're not jumping at all.
Silver: Not at all. There's no reaction even when I tug on the reins.
Trey: Well, it's not like they were trained like horses are. It'll probably be difficult for them to move as we wish.
Silver: You're right. If only there was something that would trigger them into moving…
Ignihyde Student: Hey, is there a trash can around here?
Octavinelle Student: I think there was one over there… Oh yeah, there it is.
Ignihyde Student: 'Kay, I'll show you my sweet empty can toss. HAH!!
Trey: Hm…!? Something's flying towards us!
Silver: Is that… an empty can?
[clang! clang, clang…!]
Grasshoppers: !?
Silver: Trey-senpai, hold tight the reins!
Trey: Huh, why so suddenl… Woah! The grasshopper just jumped!
Silver: It seems they were startled because of the can that fell nearby. Try to hang on until they calm down!
Trey: E-Even if you say that, the sh-shaking's too much! I'll get tossed off at this rate…!
Silver: Use both of your calves to squeeze the grasshopper's sides! Keep your body low. Put all of your strength into your core!
Silver: Urk…! But it's true, they are shaking far too much.
Silver: This is unexpected. Horses and grasshoppers require far too different handling…!
Trey: THAT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS!!!!
Ignihyde Student: Damn, I was way off. Whatever, I'll just leave it.
Octavinelle Student: Don't be stupid. You'll get in big trouble if they find out you were the one littering. Come on, go find that empty can already.
Ignihyde Student: Geez, fine… Uhh, it went this way, I think.
Ignihyde Student: Woah, huh? Did something move just now?
Octavinelle Student: Wait, is it a mouse!? I'll teach it a lesson after how they jumped out at me during class today. Find it!
Trey: Oh no, did they see us? This is bad…
Silver: Their feet sound to be getting closer… Trey-senpai, they're coming!
[grasshoppers start jumping]
Trey/Silver: WOOAAAAH…!!
[THUD!!]
[Courtyard]
Silver: Trey-senpai, are you alright?
Trey: Ow, ow… What just happened? My head is still spinning from all that shaking.
Silver: Our saddles broke because of the grasshoppers' intense jumping. Then, we two were flung off.
Silver: My idea was not good enough. My apologies, I didn't think the grasshoppers would get that out of hand.
Trey: Don't worry about it. I'm the one who went along with your plan. Let's just pull ourselves together and delve into searching for that Coggrass.
Silver: Yes… Hm?
Silver: Trey-senpai. These leaves growing right in front of us, are they…
Trey: …They're Coggrass! In fact, it looks like most of the grass in this area is.
Silver: How lucky. We should gather up some roots quickly.
Silver: …That should be good enough. I'm not sure how many we'll need for the concoction, but I plucked a large amount to be on the safe side.
Silver: We should head towards the well we are to meet at… Hm? This sound…
[rustle, rustle…!]
Silver: …! Trey-senpai, take cover.
Octavinelle Student: Hey, did you see something move over there where all the Coggrass is growing?
Silver: This is bad, they're heading towards us. We need to hide ourselves somewhere…
[rustle]
Octavinelle Student: THERE!! TAKE THIS!!
[KABOOM!!]
Trey: Woah, the ground just exploded!?
Trey: Why do people like Vil or these guys feel the need to hit this strong against mere mice!? There should be a limit to their mercilessness!
Ignihyde Student: LOOKS LIKE THEY GOT AWAY. HEY, NEXT TIME I'LL GET THEM.
Silver: All the grass around us got flattened out. We'll be found at this rate. Is there anywhere we could hide…?
Silver: …! Oh right, maybe in the shadow over there…! Trey-senpai, this way.
Ignihyde Student: Where'd those mice go?
Octavinelle Student: I don't see them at all… They can't've gotten far. Search for them.
Trey/Silver: …...
Trey: Seems like we escaped their notice. By the breadth of a hair…
Silver: Good thing the can they threw missed the garbage can. We would've been seen if it weren't for this.
Trey: Though I feel like we wouldn't be in this scenario if they'd just gotten the can in the bin in one go…
Ignihyde Student: OH HEY, I FOUND THE CAN I DROPPED EARLIER. IT ROLLED ALL THE WAY HERE.
Silver: …!
Trey: Their footsteps are getting closer… We have to run, or they'll find us!
Silver: But their attention is pointed in our direction. It's too dangerous to leave the shadow of the can.
Silver: We need to find a way to pull their attention away, and escape this dilemma…!
Octavinelle Student: I'LL HIT IT WITH MAGIC AND SEND IT FLYING INTO THE TRASH BIN. THERE'S NO WAY I'D MISS FROM THIS DISTANCE.
Silver: It'd be bad if we got hit by their magic! If that's the case…
Silver: …Trey-senpai, once I give you the signal, I need you to run as hard as you can and hide in the grass behind you.
Trey: …Silver? What are you planning on doing?
Silver: I don't have time to explain. Trey-senpai, get ready quickly.
Trey: …I understand. I'll leave it to you, Silver. Be careful.
Octavinelle Student: HERE I GO. READY…!
Silver: …RUN!
Trey: RIGHT!
[Trey runs]
Silver: He left… HUP!
[clang!]
Octavinelle Student: HUH!? THE CAN MOVED!?
[BOOM!!]
Octavinelle Student: THAT STARTLED ME SO MUCH MY ATTACK MISSED. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
Silver: Now's my chance while their attention is on the empty can. I need to run now!!
Octavinelle Student: Tch, looks like I completely lost sight of the mouse.
Ignihyde Student: I bet it's their fault that can moved, too. They're really putting us to work…!
Silver: …Good. Looks like they've given up.
Trey: Phew… I was wondering what you were about to do. You're amazing, Silver.
Trey: I can't believe you had the guts to kick and send flying the can that was your only hiding spot.
Trey: Thanks to you distracting them, I was able to run away relatively safely…
Trey: But their attack hit really close to you, didn't it? It's amazing how you were able to dash away without freezing to the spot.
Silver: I've trained so that I am capable of responding immediately even in an emergency situation. It was no issue.
Trey: Haha, you're really something. I'm glad you were around, Silver.
Trey: …But, I really don't want to ride a grasshopper anymore. Please don't make me.
Silver: ? Of course. Now that we found the Coggrass, there is no need to ride one, so it's fine.
Silver: Now then, we should head to the well. [Yuu] and the others will be waiting for us.
There aren’t a lot of bands with as interesting a history as the folk / alt-country duo The Civil Wars. Made up of John-Paul White and Joy Williams, they formed a creative partnership in the late 00s, because they were randomly paired in a songwriters’ retreat for a band that would eventually have been Gloriana, and they’re realized that they had creative chemistry, so they formed the duo. I remember their second and final album, 2013’s self-titled. I was getting more into indie and folk music, and I got that album, but I never got their 2011 debut, Barton Hollow. I find the lore of this band to be very interesting, because they broke up in 2014 due to creative and personal differences, as well as people starting a myth that they were cheating on their spouses and secretly dating each other.
From all the research I did, because I remember hearing about that back in the day, it turns out it was not true. They just had such good chemistry on stage that people immediately thought that, especially due to how parasocial people can get (even more so now). They went their separate ways and never looked back, but the two albums we got are pretty damn good. I’ve never heard their debut, as I said, and I happened to find it at Half Price Books last week, so I decided to check it out. I’ve been listening to it quite a bit, and honestly, it’s great. It’s not perfect, but at the same time, there are way more things to enjoy on it than not to. Even then, what I don’t really like about it just comes down to a couple of very minute things that don’t totally matter, but there are a lot of things to love here.
I guess the first thing to talk about is the chemistry between White and Williams; their voices mesh so well, and they sound really haunting together. With that said, however, this album is not very catchy or full of energy. It sounds like Christian music sometimes, but the lyrics are anything but Christian or religious. It very much has a Southern Gothic atmosphere that I really like, but the hooks are almost nonexistent. There are a few songs with hooks, such as the wonderful title track, but the album has a lowkey and subtle sound that never really beyond a 4 on the loudness scale. The album never really raises its voice, per se, so it stays very quiet.
The harmonies and instrumentation are very gorgeous, haunting, and melancholic, but it doesn’t translate to an album I want to listen to while jogging, or trying to get yard work done, you know? At 40 minutes, it’s a short album, and it’s performed and produced well, but it’s not a very energetic album. I wish it was more energetic, but this is the type of album that I need to be in a certain mood to hear. This is a quiet night, or a somber mood type of album, versus something I want to be listening to when I’m having a lot of fun. I’d recommend this if you want to check out some awesome folk and alt-country with some Southern Gothic lyrics and tones. The harmonies are great, and it sucks that they broke up, but it is what it is.
