Pre-Murder Drones Fanfic/Drabble - A Dove's Harp - Jessa fanfic

tw// child abuse mention

Tessa was finally allowed out of her room, a few days prior she had pulled the ultimate hilarious stunt. Since her mother, Louisa, had planned a piano recital for the 13 year old girl, since it had happened without Tessa's say in the matter, Tessa had changed at the last minute from playing a classical inspired melody to a song from the olden times known simply as 'The Hours Song' or 'Insomnia Party'. Tessa had gotten in so much trouble, however, all of her Dad's friends who were in attendance found it mildly entertaining.

Louisa dragged Tessa into the library by her wrist. "Mother, I'm sorry! I will be better!" Tessa pleaded as she was brought to the study.

Louisa let go of Tessa when they got to the heart of the library, Louisa's old harp from when she was a kid sat in there, it was a mahogany Celtic harp. "Due to your LITTLE STUNT you pulled, you will no longer be playing the piano, young lady!" the artificially blonde woman barked.

Tessa sat by the harp and she started trying it out.

"No, no NO!" Louisa scolded harshly, "You're doing it all wrong!" She grabbed Tessa's tender wrists and adjusted the girl's positioning.

The girl with the cool toned dark hair flinched as she was posed like a ball-jointed doll harshly. "Mother! That hurts!"

"Well, maybe it wouldn't if you didn't do so many things that would result in you getting locked in your room, your wrists wouldn't be so sore, now would they?"

James walked into the library, as he was coming to look for a book for work and heard the squabbling. He ran over and despite him usually taking Louisa's side, he intervened sharply yet with an air of worry in his voice, "Louisa, luv! Let's maybe hire her a tutor for harp instead."

"Why?" Louisa barked before she realized it was James and she softened her voice, "Sorry, James, dear... but, I am certainly capable."

James offered, "Perhaps, she would be better receptive to a tutor closer to her age?"

Louisa tilted her head in a way that made the soft alabaster coloured swan feathers on her sunhat droop with disappointment, her voice carrying a tone of discontentment as she uttered firmly, "Fine then... but she is not allowed to quit the harp."

James lead Tessa away from the library, insisting in a more gentle voice, "How's about you go play with your drones, Tessa? I am going to go phone around to see if there's any harp tutors within an hours drive of here.."

Tessa was thankful in that moment for her Father. She didn't say anything but silently nodded. She didn't want to play the harp, ever, but, this at least bought her some time to try to think of a way of getting out of it.

The Elliott heiress went to her room and sat at her work desk to sulk, not noticing the ponytailed maid drone there, tidying up Tessa's collection of stuffed animals.

"Something wrong, Princess Tess?" J asked worriedly, approaching her favourite human slowly, holding one hand out so when she did get to Tessa's side that she'd be ready to hold one of the girl's hands.

Tessa took a gentle hold of J's hand as soon as J was closer to her. "Oh, just... I finally am being long-term punished for my piano recital..."

"I told you not to play that silly song," J sighed softly, rubbing her thumb on the back of Tessa's hand.

"I don't want to play the harp, Jaybird, especially if Mother is forcing me to."

J knew Tessa hated doing what she was told to do if there was no fun involved but she'd have to comply. She soothed to the sulking girl whom she adored so much, "It's not that bad," deciding to mention something she had never said to Tessa before, "I... Actually like harp music, it's really beautiful."

The grey eyed Elliott girl looked into J's platinum white LED eyes for reassurance. "Y-you do?" she asked, her voice inquisitive and a bit more hopeful, "I guess I could learn to play, you know, if it's for you." Tessa didn't know why she felt like this. Like she cherished what J thought of her, she was J's boss, and yet, it made her all a flutter inside thinking about doing something to show her gratitude to J, even if it would be learning to play the harp.

J offered as she hugged Tessa gently, "If you get really good at the harp, maybe you could play my favourite songs, like Clair de Lune and Eternal Dream."

"I'd like that, maybe... if you're not harsh towards me when I'm still learning..." Tessa broke the hug and looked away shyly, not sure of what she was feeling in that moment, all she knew right then was that she wanted J to be happy.

The drone with the beautiful platinum ponytails soothed lovingly, "I won't," she giggled and placed one hand over her heart, " I promise, knight's honour."

"Jaybird... be careful...maybe use more corporate talk, I don't want Mother catching us still 'playing princess'... we will save knight and princess for when we are sure we are alone, 'right then?"

J sadly nodded, remarking numbly, "I understand boss, clearer than an HR handbook"

Tessa pulled J into a hug and whispered to her beloved drone, "But... deep down, just know, I appreciate everything, alright Jaybird?"

J let slip from her voice chip, "Of course, my dear dove." She was about to apologize for letting that slip out, but Tess was already responding with an almost angel soft voice,

"You're the best, J... thank you."

Every time Tessa would have harp practice, J stood by, watching over, both since James hard ordered J to be there if Tessa needed anything, but also so J could hear her beloved human girl getting slowly better at the harp, which made J's adoration for the girl grow more and more every day. "We will never be together," she sighed to herself quietly, watching Tessa practice Clair de Lune, "but, I will still dream... I want my beloved boss to be my princess."

Extended credits for Museum at Tomorrow episode 5

Below the cut are all of the folks who I used (and asked to be credited) for recordings in Museum at Tomorrow episode 5- specifically, the "This is not for You" recordings.

(The list was too long for podcast episode descriptions)

These recordings were mixed into the soundscape of the show, heavily processed- so you may or may not be able to pick out your voice. Each unique recording is preserved as rhythem, timber, and shape within the episode.

Thank you for your work in creating the canvas of this piece.

Walla Walla Movie Crush, July 1-2

The inaugural Walla Walla Movie Crush (www.wallawallamoviecrush.com) serves up America’s most intoxicating blend of short cinema over the first weekend of July 2017. The festival will showcase narratives, documentaries, animation, music videos and experimental films grouped in themed packages. The films range in length from one to 30 minutes, with most under ten.

Movies will screen in hour-long blocks from noon-5pm and 7-9pm on Saturday, July 1st and from 1pm-5pm and 7pm-9pm on Sunday, July, 2nd at the GESA Power House Theatre (111 N 6th Ave, Walla Walla, WA 99362) The Sunday evening session will feature ten brand-new short films created specifically for the Walla Walla Movie Crush in response to this prompt: Your First Crush. These “Challenge” films will be created by a pantheon of talents: The Adams Family, Genevieve Anderson, Mtume Gant, Josh Seftel, Jadoliva Studio, Caveh Zahedi, Wenjo Carlton, Josh Lunden, Jacob Strunk and Granger’s own Rick Castaneda. The “Challenge” screening will be followed immediately by an awards ceremony during which top honors will be bestowed in accordance with the wishes of a jury of award-winning filmmakers including Duncan Jones, Jen McGowan, Brian Knappenberger, Tess Martin, Jeff Malmberg, Chris Shellen and more.

All proceeds from the Walla Walla Movie Crush go to support The Red Badge Project (http://www.theredbadgeproject.com).

Shorts presented in this year’s schedule include appearances by John Turturro, Tituss Burgess, Stephen King, Sam Elliott, Casey Wilson, Bobby Canavale, Mary Elizabeth Ellis and Stephen Dorff. For the full line-up of the inaugural Walla Walla Movie Crush, please visit: https://www.wallawallamoviecrush.com/schedule

Here are a few highlights from the schedule: 

saturday, july 1

  12pm: IMPROPERLY VETTED

  Unfortunately, just because one serves their country doesn’t mean their country serves them. Soldiers may lose their lives on battlefields, but those who survive may face even greater losses on the home-front. These shorts examine the impact of war on those who fight them and how civilians may better serve those who defend their ways of life.

  This package of films is dedicated to SSG Michael J. Mantenuto, 1981 - 2017.

  1pm:  LONERS, REBELS & THE DOTTY 

  There are a lot of things about these folks you don’t know anything about. Whether a first-time thief, a best-selling author, a con artist, the subject of many artists, a recovering addict, or a lost soul, there are things you wouldn’t understand. Things you couldn’t understand. Things... you shouldn’t understand.

  4pm:  JOCK & JILL

  You needn't go pro to love sports — heck, that’s the root meaning of amateur. Those who play for the love of the game always prove themselves champs on the rink, on the courts, in the church, in the crowd, in the pinball arcade and even in Bryant Park. They shoot, they score. You watch, you win!

  5pm:  First Annual Walla Walla Ping Pong Tournament!  Details coming soon.

7pm:  BLACK LIVES, MATTERS

  The black experience is not monolithic; instead, it is as varied as the color spectrum. In order to appreciate the sanctity of individuals, we must first embrace the wondrous diversity and emotional commonality of the human race. A rodeo star, a music icon, an aspiring astronomer, a grieving mom, a grave-digger, a hopeful boat owner and a renowned falconer represent just a small sliver of the possibilities.

  8pm:  THE MATING GAME

  Meeting cute is the business of romantic comedies; staying together is the struggle that instills our need to laugh at love. The compromised couples and swinging singles in these shorts remind us that contrary to popular movie wisdom, love means always having to say you’re sorry. (*Adult themes and material.)

  sunday, july 2

    1pm:  BULLY PULPIT

  Power corrupts... absolutely. Given the least bit of authority or sheer audacity, too many are ready to lord themselves over others, whether classmates, lovers, the canine, the statuary or those in need of counseling. Still, there is hope in speaking up, standing up and even, shutting down.

    4pm:  HIGHLY ATTUNED

  Summer’s here and the time is right to thank those who make the music that has us dancing in the streets, grooving in the sheets and marching to very different beats. Bowie, Cobain and the Allmans appear on this short soundtrack as do a few folks — real, surreal and animated — whom you’ve never heard before, but will be humming for years to come.

  7pm:  WALLA WALLA MOVIE CRUSH CHALLENGE

  WORLD PREMIERE! In honor of this inaugural edition of the WWMC, we asked ten of our favorite filmmakers/filmmaking teams to create brand-new shorts in response to this prompt: your first crush. The only other parameter was that these movies could be no longer than seven minutes. (NOTE: no one, including the organizers of this festival, will have seen these shorts until they hit the screen. And, who knows if they will be seen again? This is truly a World Premiere event.)

  New films by: The Adams Family, Genevieve Anderson, Wendy Jo Carlton, Rick Castañeda, Mtume Gant, Jadoliva Studios; Josh Lunden, Joshua Seftel, Jacob Strunk and Caveh Zahedi

  8pm: THE BEST OF THE WALLA WALLA MOVIE CRUSH & AWARDS CEREMONY

  The very best films of the inaugural Walla Walla Move Crush — as selected by a jury of internationally-acclaimed filmmakers and WWMC curator Warren Etheredge — will screen prior to our Closing Night Ceremony, during which the winners of the Best Short Narrative, Best Animated Short and Best Short Documentary prizes will be announced.

The Walla Movie Crush was co-founded by Warren Etheredge and Nancy Dragun, the latter serving as Executive Director, the former as Artistic Director. For seven years, Mr. Etheredge was the Curator and Host of the internationally-acclaimed 1 Reel Film Festival (at Bumbershoot), the nation’s best-attended celebration of short cinema. Prior to that, he spent three years both programming and heading up the Membership department for the Seattle International Film Festival. For ten years, he has worked as a programmer, host and workshop leader of the Rainier Independent Film Festival, and regularly appears moderating Q&As, panel discussions and interactive sessions and hosting awards ceremonies at festivals in Ashland, Austin, Port Townsend, San Antonio and Tacoma. He has hosted industry confabs at Sundance, Slamdance, NFFTY and SXSW. Additionally, Mr. Etheredge is an accomplished producer (FUREVER; EVEN THE WALLS; THE LOST MARINER) and the host of the Emmy®-nominated television series, The High Bar (www.thehighbar.tv), now turned podcast (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-high-bar/id1216502573?mt=2-). The WWMC Staff also boasts the beloved Ranielle Gray, who helped grow the 1 Reel Film Festival, and Heather Bartels, who will supervise “after dark” programming.  Heather currently serves as a lead instructor for the SHRIEK: Women in Horror series and is a featured speaker at Crypticon. Walla Walla’s own Beth Hudson provides critical CPR for the festival as its Community Liaison.

Tickets will become available for purchase on June 1, 2017. Day passes are $15; a pass for both days is available for $25. Tickets may be purchased via Eventbrite thru June 30th, 2017: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/walla-walla-movie-crush-tickets-34915445036  Day-of-show tickets will be available at the door of the GESA Power House Theatre (111 N 6th Ave, Walla Walla, WA 99362).

The Walla Walla Movie Crush receives support from The City of Walla Walla, the Walla Walla Public Library, the GESA Power House Theatre and Washington FilmWorks. All proceeds from the Walla Walla Movie Crush go to support The Red Badge Project (http://www.theredbadgeproject.com/).
