Chosen Prompt: What's their dream home like?
Prompt Response: Phillip has given this question a lot of thought. If left to his own devices, after all, he would simply be a wanderer, meandering around the world to share his gift of music. But, there is something nice to be said about a home base, a place to return to when all is said and done. The most important part, he decided, would be that the house would need to be something more of a cottage than a castle. He has no need for fancy colors and railings, it would be too much to clean! After all, that is time away from music! He would admit a certain fondness for the cottages that have natural thatched roofs, as they remind him of his many nights sleeping outside and would smell of nature instead of brick.
Of course, this cottage would still need a good window! One for the front, one for the kitchen, and another for his bedroom. The one in the kitchen would have a shelf nearby it, and there he would plant all matter of herbs and edible plants. They all smell so good, and taste even better! Not that he is a great cook, but hey he can pretend right? The window by his room would have plants as well, but these would be decorative ones like begonias and violets. And the one in the front? That one would have butterfly plants nearby! Nothing like a good butterfly watching session to calm the nerves.
And yes plants are a lot of work but worth it! He would have the smallest of gardens with basics out back, as well as a garden for growing sunflowers (mmmm seeds!) and gourds. Why gourds? Hollowed out, they make for amazing instruments! And he is ALL about the music. Which is why his house would have many windchimes scattered about as well! Any breeze of wind from all angles would be enough to make music. But, he would make sure that any room in his house had an instrument nearby as well. After all, it is how he communicates with the world, since he has no voice of his own. While the rest of his family has their own methods to overcome their disability, music has become his. These instruments would hang from the walls, rest on shelves, or be leaning against the bed. Wherever you look, you are sure to find one!
As for his bed, think oversized but still made of natural materials. He is used to sleeping outside, and as such his bed reflects this. Although it has a considerable amount of stuffing, all of the materials he sourced himself. As such it may look a bit rough, but it smells of nature and makes him happy. So many feathers!
The kitchen is as basic as it gets, he is no cook after all! But still, when the big bites, he has the supplies to do what he would like. The few modern commodities he allows are the freezer and fridge, although he tends to eat things as he buys them. His pantry meanwhile is stocked with things form the local markets: in particular breads, jams, butters, and edible seeds. Did we mention sunflower seeds? He would have his favorite snack stocked in every type! There would be a few practical seasonings as well mixed in, trail mix for on the go as well as dried fruits. A type or two of jerky perhaps, although he is not a huge fan of meat products.
