Description

TheOctopusMan asked:
Has lesper ever tried singing professionally?

Answer:
Lilitu ('Harpies' colloquialy) are not well thought of, and rightly so. Though both their singing voices and their dancing is perhaps the finest known, it is invariably used as the Lilitu's means of entrancing its victems before robbing/devouring/raping/wildcard ensues.

Lesper, having broken off from her flock for a great many reasons, perhaps most importantly of which is her refusal to kill and devour travellers would find it impossible to have a professional career.

As no means of recording exist, the performances would all have to be live, and no village or town would let a Lilitu within in its walls merely on the assurance that it was there to perform and would behave itself ( and its not reall like she would either, she has sticky talons you may have noticed)

Also against her is the way she prefers to sing.

The unique vocal chords of th Lilitu give them perfectly lovely, and quite seductive natural singing and speaking voices, even without them tweaking the harmonics to actually make the song hypnotic.

However, Lesper, much like Bok, has opted for a more aggressive forceful approach to singing songs. Which is just not catching on in polite society.

This doesnt tend to concern them, though. They sing because they love to sing.

Indeed, one of the reasons Lesper was forsook her flock was because she hated the idea of beautiful music being a weapon. She's oddly a purist in that regard.

We will learn more about this facinating species as time goes on. Next question?

3. Think Lesper is prettier now;
4. Rinse;
