Chapter 6 - 6. Friends, music, and a trip down memory lane.

After making a new friend, and the rest of the school day passed, Valk heads home, only to see her dad sitting on the porch, a first in awhile, her mom in the kitchen with the windows open. 'Guess they managed some free time for once, hen all the extra work finally paid off I guess, anyway, time to finish up the guitar.' She thinks, waving to her dad as she slinks off the the wood working shop, resuming her project, having to figure out a wood lacquer, something smooth, shiny, and without that oilly sensation the usual beeswax has. "Hm, i could warm tree sap and make a watertight lacquer, and use charcoal to turn it black, then if i use a bit of brass or bronze for accents or even inlays, yea that sounds fun." She thinks, getting several tools, including a tree tap, which yes this world uses tree sap for various things but its not as widely used as wood lacquer, but she was a hobbyist in her previous life, as well as a jack of all trades, so her knowledge may not be intensive in any one trade but it covers more than what this world currently has. She sets to work, her mind flowing into the motion, the tired, she doesn't feel the need for sleep just yet. After working through the night, using a variety of methods to make it work, but what came out of the finished end? Looks more like a hybrid classic bass, mixed with a retro era electric guitar, but its functioning, the strings were the hardest part and most likely to break, but it is finished, beautifully she might add.taking it as she leaves, starting the next day with hopefully some new tunes.taking up her usual spot in the back, her feet up on an empty desk, guitar resting in her lap as she sorts through her mind, searching for a good song that mind sound good on a solo guitar run. Her fingers, seeming to move on their own, softly strum the strings, at first, seeming random, perhaps getting adjusted to the tune, before the guitar solo of "addicted" from the earth based band Saving abel, something that was one of her favorite songs back then. As she plays, and the lyrics flow in her mind, she could remember some of the good times on earth.
