Town tour (feat. Bugs Baschera & Karis Oka)
Hi!
Hey!
I'm so sorry I'm so late. If you're too tired, I can-
No, dude, you're fine. I love a night walk
Let me grab a lume
A what?
A lume?
L-U-M-E
Like the town?
See?
A ball of string
Yeah, well, watch this
It glows!
Yeah, I make them
Magick
Warm multi-coloured light
Wrapped in twine
Somehow capturing the feeling
Everything will turn out fine
That's dumb. I don't know why I said that
No, it's nice
Should we head?
Yeah
So, you've lived here all your life?
Yeah, I have. It's never been too rife with drama
But, you know, it's home
That's nice
But you stay here, so there must be something more than just the old
"We love the laid-back atmosphere" to it
There's not much
You're not staying here for someone?
Hypatia cursed themself. Nice touch
Well Brad - he's my stepdad - Mum and I are pretty tight
More my age is Elsie. She's my sister. We fight
So, like, what do you think about women?
In which sense
Just the noun
Riley's face lit up with an amused-looking frown
Don't you want to ask me something about Lume?
There's no fire here
There's no fire here?
Yeah, you can't light fire within the town borders
Oh, as in you're not allowed?
No, you physically can't. It won't light
If you have some matches or something, I could show you
That seems impossible
Then how do you keep warm?
What do you use for light?
Blankets, coats, insulation
For light, well...
Look
Warm multi-coloured light (Warm multi-)
Wrapped in twine (-coloured light)
Somehow capturing the feeling (Wrapped in)
Everything will turn out fine (twine)
Warm firesides, paperbacks, cherry cobbler (Mm)
All of it is weaved into that shine
Wait, so you made all of these?
Yeah, I did
It's pretty easy work, but there are always more to make
Jeez
I just didn't think they'd be so tolerant
Who's they?
The town
Of what?
Of magick
What did you expect?
Not this
C'mon city boy, give us a chance
Wouldn't that be bliss
I wouldn't want you and your lace-up boots to feel let down
Oh- Are you also the type for
But that's it
What?
That's the town
Well then what's at the end of this road?
Just the cookhouse
You can cook
Riley stiffened up while trying for an unfazed look
I just mean, because you can't have fire
I wouldn't think you could cook anything
Yeah
There's no fire here
Inside the town borders
So the cookhouse is... just outside of them
Oh, that makes sense
It seems annoying though, having to trek all the way out here whenever you need to heat anything up-
Just outside
Like that's not so far away
Like that can be a comfort
In the face of blinding pain
Nothing can prepare you for that red midnight day
When you're tasting smoke and hearing rain
You kind of zoned out
Sorry
This is the River Lume
It's so picturesque
You don't get anything like this in the city
Which came first?
The town's called Lume
The lights are lumes
And now we're at the River Lume
I wanna say... the lumes?
We've been making them for generations
My family, I mean
I used to leave the extra ones in the river and watch them float away
like messages in bottles
That's beautiful
Warm multi-coloured light (Warm multi-)
Wrapped in twine (-coloured light)
Somehow capturing the feeling (Wrapped in)
Everything will turn out fine (twine)
Warm firesides, paperbacks, cherry cobbler (Warm nights, the smell of woodchips, gingerbread or pine)
All of it is weaved into that shine.
All of it is weaved into a person that I'd like to call...
I'm sorry!
Bye!
