“I’ve always thought running away would do it... just up and leaving the country. The life I made that keeps tripping me up over and over again. People only ever see the joy, the energy, the exhaustion – never the disappointment. But changing the scenery won't fix everything.”
@nodamnstogive from here.
One thing the singer loved about having become a good enough musician that people all over the world enjoyed hearing his songs and he could travel to their homelands and play for them was seeing the world. As tours were carefully planned, and his band did not often have too much time to stay in the same country, Arvid was grateful this one tour had ended in Europe. That way, not only could he return home much faster afterwards, but he could admire the familiar scenery. They had played across Europe before, and every time they looked forward to a new visit.
The little concert they had had - well, not so little, really, but there had certainly been more people visiting when he'd played in Scandinavia for example - had been in Rome. The bus ride to Naples had been his friends’ idea, now that the tour was over they could stay here for a while longer. Though the heat had no mercy on him, Arvid was in love with the architecture and the beautiful sights the city had to offer, and it did not take much convincing to agree to stay some more.
“It’s gorgeous. I came here on work, initially... but my friends and I won’t be leaving just yet, so I had a walk a bit earlier. I love the place. Except for the warmth,” he chuckled, fanning himself with a hand, “I’m happy to be here again. And you?”
a starter for @crows-dance
A favorite thing of Arvid’s after a day of listening to music and recording songs of his own was quietly slipping among the audience at bigger or smaller music events - concerts or gigs, it didn’t matter - and enjoying the music. He had started out very small, friends of his being his only listeners in the beginning, and slowly, bit by bit, he had started a band with his closest friends. And it was the support of others that had made his dream come true. The presence at his concerts, meeting his fans up close and talking with them, hearing their feedback, all had helped his little dream become a big reality - a career.
So, as he stood in the back of the crowd that had formed round the other musician and his guitar, he reached out to leave a few banknotes in his hat as he nodded his head along with the song’s rhythm. “This song is very powerful... it sounds great. I love it.” He really wanted to ask if the man had written it himself, but he didn’t want to disturb him. Perhaps whenever the small crowd dispersed he’d get a chance to pose his questions. What if this guy agreed to a collaboration someday? Or what if they liked the same music? Remained to be seen...
"Man, I hate being sick..." Arvid sniffles and buries himself back under the mountain of blankets. He's got something like a cold and paired with how bad he sleeps it's turning out to be hell. He's so tired even the trip to the fridge is hard. "I guess I'll just sleep..." he whines quietly.
heart meme for arvid
For every "♡" I get I'll give a tip on how to win my muse's heart.
// Aside from music, Arvid loves to find out more about people's culture – he loves to listen to stories about places, or look at photos of them, or hear about what people do there.
Also, museum/art gallery/concert visits are events he always treasures. He's not that big on words, but show him some art and he's likely to never forget it... or you.
@specter-siblings liked for a starter!
Though Arvid has a dog, he’s also very much a cat person. And as such, he’s the type to go out of his way to pet strays, and, hell, even sing to them (he enjoys it too much). Even when he’s walking his dog and has him by his side. As a Lab, Roffe is calm and friendly and enjoys the attention of anyone who passes him by, other animals included.
But as Arvid is petting both his dog and the stray cat and humming quietly, the cat hisses and arches its back. Has it noticed something out of the ordinary? Hopefully it’s not his song. Before he can react, he’s turned around, curious. The cat is gone. And there’s a girl behind him instead.
A girl that looks quite... weird.
Not that he isn’t used to weird. He stops singing and looks the girl up from head to toe. A girl? Or a rag doll? He isn’t entirely sure yet. Remains to be seen. “...Um. Hello there.”
"No offence to any fans of the beetle band but only one half of the insect is fresh..." Do with Arvid's commentary as you will.
"Still, good gateway to nice music, I guess."
❝ Oh.❞ Regardless, he's going to admire them from a distance, anyway. ❞ You still look... quite bloody impressive.❞ Impressive isn't nearly enough to describe Eerie, but he tried his best.
