Online Video Q and A with Tamara Seward

[scalpedsociety]

[As the video stream begins Tamara appears in a fairly casual dress with a shawl (granted her hair is still done well and her makeup is flawless on camera) she's casual, but not 'appear without makeup with her notoriously crazy hair loose' casual. Her laptop is parked near the piano in the penthouse and her mood is relaxed and generous to her fans. After all the craziness of the past couple weeks with Pride and the recent firings, she felt she owed the fans (and herself) something calming. She takes a sip out her cup of tea and begins, regal and warm as royalty and a mother should be.]

Hello there members and servants of the Court of Thorns and old fans of mine, welcome to my Q and A session. If you're curious about what tea I'm drinking today, it's rooibos and citrus green.

I know many of you are curious about behind the scene things with Crown of Thorns and possibly what I do off the keys. So shoot. There are almost no stupid questions.

murderofcrows25, which is a great username by the way... You could take lessons, like I did. You could get an instrument and learn on your own with people on the web or copy videos on youtube until you get it right or hell, get a garbage can and start banging away on the street until the noises feel right and on rhythm.

But don't let anyone tell you what is the 'wrong' or 'right' way to play or learn your music. Not even me. Do what feels right for you.

Thank you. I like my username too.

I do not know what instrument to try. My school does not have a band class anymore, and I do not think a garbage can will be for me.

[scalpedsociety]

What kind of sounds do you like? What instruments do you feel yourself drawn to when you hear them or see them? You should ask yourself these questions.

[sponsorigami]

I think I might like woodwinds or harp. They are very beautiful.

[ She continues being proper and stiff. Some others in chat wonder what is going on. Is she a robot? ]

[scalpedsociety]

[Some people just like being proper. After all, it's a fitting way to address a mother and royalty.]

There we are! I recommend asking around your neighborhood or the internet for lessons. If you can't find any, there are lots of tutorials on youtube.

If you really love something, you'll do anything to learn it.

[sponsorigami]

I will try to do that. I will put out an ad on EggsList to learn how to play woodwinds.

[ murderofcrows25, no.

But the chat has already seen it and are responding with various lewd jokes. ]

[scalpedsociety]

Um... I'd be careful on eggslist if I were you. Bring a friend if someone answers your offer. Also please post in the right place.

...Also some of you are rude.

[ The chat goes quiet for a bit, and then there's a volley of "I'm sorry!" and "Do you hate me?" and the odd "We're no strangers to love. You know the rules, and so do I"

Which creates another flood of angry chatters. ]

[scalpedsociety]

[Tamara sighs. The internet is a... strange place.]

No I don't hate any of you and you are all forgiven. Also, old memes are old. Go do that someplace else.

[ The chat now tries to be more sneaky about the memes; they are still being posted but not in such an obvious fashion. ]
