[Will opens the video with his usual friendly smile, his guitar in his lap and his arms draped and dangling lazily over the side of it as he taps out an idle rhythm with his fingers.]

So I have a few things I was thinking about and was hoping people might be able to help me with some of them.

The first thing I was thinking of is if anyone else here plays any instruments? Or even sings? [Will gives a playful, single strum of his guitar with a grin.] I know at least one person here besides me does. [He's looking at you, Rose.] I was just thinking about how all my siblings had at least some talent with musical instruments and we would often lead the campfire singalongs back at the camp where I live or we would just mess around and jam in the Apollo cabin. I'm starting to really miss it so I thought it might be fun if people wanted to get together and just jam together some times.

The other thing was if anyone's any good at working with metal? I have a few things I'd like to build but I definitely don't have any talent for it.

You know, Leo offered to make anything I might need recently. I can ask him if he can help you out.

[ said as nico settles down next to will, his fingers reaching out to pluck at the strings of will's guitar. he smiles at his boyfriend, all affection and love. ]

And if you want to have a sing-along, we could always have it down at the beach, once it stops raining. We could make it a regular thing with marshmallows and all.

[healingdork]

Would you actually sing if we had one? [Will asks it teasingly, leaning over and jostling Nico a bit with his elbow.] I have a feeling people don't really know the usual songs we do back at camp. We could teach them, but they'd probably be confused about some of the lyrics if they don't know much mythology.

[He did think of Leo but... he also isn't entirely sure if Leo is capable of keeping a secret about a surprise so he's looking for other options. Because he definitely does not want Nico knowing about one of the things he wants to have made.]

[deathkid]

I could probably give it a try. I mean, as long as the music is decent. You could always play something modern too. [ nudges will back as he shifts closer. ] That might be better than trying to teach people Camp Halfblood songs.

[healingdork]

Modern? Don't you mean something from the '70s or the '80s? [Still teasing.] I'm guessing that's what your vote would be for if I asked for some requests, to get a better feel for what people might like.

[deathkid]

[ snorts, rolling his eyes. ] You do know what I like, caro mio. [ brushes his lips against will's cheek. ] You always seem to know.

[healingdork]

[He laughs.] After being together this long, I'd sure hope so.

Actually, about that... I know time for us has been different because of being shuffled to all these different worlds, but we started dating in November, right? Do you want to just say that's our anniversary? Even if we wouldn't have actually spent a full year together yet by then?

[deathkid]

Anniversary? [ that makes nico blink a little. with everything that's happened, he'd not even given that any thought. besides, he's accepted that he'll be with will forever, found happiness there. why need to put a date to it.

still, there's something rather... romantic about having an anniversary. nico beams at will before leaning closer to brush his lips along his jaw. ]

Yeah. Even with everything, I still thought about you. I still considered you my boyfriend and that I'd return to you once I was done in Eudio. So even if it's not been a full year, it has been in our hearts, right?

[leovaldez]

Dude, come on!

[ Dare you to find someone better than Leo at working with metal! ]

[healingdork]

[Will laughs at that.]

hey, leo. think you can make me a new dagger or two? maybe some arrowheads as well? an archer can never have too many arrows.

[leovaldez]

Hey Will, do you think you can hit the bull's eye????

[ That's a yes. ]

[healingdork]

thanks, man. i don't exactly have much material to work with but there's got to be stuff around here somewhere, right?

[leovaldez]

Yeah there's stuff around and my belt mostly works too so I can figure something out.

[healingdork]

great. let me know what i owe you.

[leovaldez]

Don't worry about it. I'll need something at some point I'm sure.

I make no promises on participating, but I'd attend a singalong.

I like hearing you play.

[healingdork]

hey, thanks! that's nice of you.

aww, you're sweet.

[tangleofgarlands]

[Congratulations, Will--Arthur is blushing hotly and at a loss for words.

Fortunately, though, that's easier to hide over a text conversation, so after a few minutes:]

That's not the word I'd use, but thanks. It's very kind of you to say so.

But I'm just being honest.

[healingdork]

honesty is generally always a good thing.

[tangleofgarlands]

I dunno about that. Sometimes I wish I weren't so bloody obvious about how I'm feeling all the time.

I can play the harp and the flute. I also can sing but don't do so frequently.

What type of metal and what were you seeking to build?

[Private]

[healingdork]

hey, that's cool. i'd love to hear you play some time or even play together if you'd be comfortable with that.

i don't know too much about metal so i don't know if this would actually work but i was hoping to take the metal pieces of a guitar and melt them down into a ring, if that's possible? i'd need the ring in a little over a month.

[Private]

[astralera]

I am able to make jewelry from any type of gemstone and metal so it should not be a problem. Do you know what kind of metal the pieces are made of?

[Private]

[healingdork]

i'm honestly not sure. musical instruments aren't my strong point. i can tell when it's out of tune but as for what it's made out of, not a clue.

[Private]

[astralera]

If it is only a small amount it shouldn't matter. I have my blacksmithing and armorsmithing tools on hand as well should it prove more durable. It would only take a few hours at most to craft.

[Private]

[healingdork]

awesome. is there any kind of payment you want?

i'd also really appreciate keeping it a secret too. i want it to be a surprise for someone.
