Keyboard Improvisation (Please listen and give feedback)
1 replies, posted
I'm a regular in Fast Threads, particularly the [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1119556]Never Ending Dungeon[/url] thread. In that thread, I'm making what is usually called an update for the players of the game. Note that I haven't posted in the thread yet, so if you frequent it as well, you're in for an early surprise.
Instead of just the regular text update, I decided to combine it with a soundtrack that I recorded a few hours ago. It's meant to be read slowly, with the text is respective to the notes played (up to the end of Rose's result). However, it is entirely improvised. I admit it was slightly revised from the last attempt, but that was a little awkward sounding. Even this one has a few kinks due to my keyboard's light keys. Anyway, here it is:
[b]John Egbert[/b]: I take my Lightning Keyboard and play an adrenaline pumping solo to cast some morale into the Allies. Mid-way through the improvised masterpiece, I play a breathtaking chord to create a storm and blow down on the enemies in a large, chaotic burst. The Allies let out an overwhelming war cry at the sound of the music, and begin to charge at the enemies, paralyzed by the lightning. The battlefield takes on an atmosphere of hardy triumph as everyone speedily marches to victory, rain hitting their faces and a beautiful aurora above their heads.
Roll: 10 (+1)=11. No words. Just music. [media]http://soundcloud.com/john-egbert/johns-epic-keyboard-solo-2[/media]
[b]Rose Lalonde[/b]: Concerned about John's drastic course of action, Rose uses the Magical Dicewands to spurt some luck into the lightning. Out of the wands comes a strong torrent of purple wind, and it guides the lightning toward enemies' general direction, as well as strengthening it. Since the Dicewands have special abilities, John's luck and her own is assured. (To John's roll, add +1)
Roll: 6. Though the purple cloud of wind was powerful, it wasn't nearly powerful enough to fulfill it's duties as a magical entity. When you released it, all it did was elevate quickly into the air and slowly dissipate in the atmosphere. So you did the next best thing: Shoot another spell straight into John's keyboard, giving him a large advantage. All you could do was watch as he broke the laws of this universe with a gnarly improvisation. Just as John began to play, the dimension acted as if it was a game, corrupt by a single bad file. The terrain began to transform; hundred-mile mountains would sprout out of the ground and endless chasms would sink into the ground in mere milliseconds. Seas of various fluid on the periodic table splashed themselves over lava. Purple grass and plantlife replaced the hell-red, stony ground. The sky began rapidly changing colors as if it were behind a massive, flourescent color wheel. Day cycled to night and back again every minute. Completely random objects and life forms would pop into and out of existence, usually static in the air. Using this to his advantage, John played certain notes in order to make certain events happen. A massive black hole appeared next to Vatii and sucked him through. However, Vatii was only to be spit back out into the one patch of grass on the entire planet, which was now the one pool of lava on the entire planet. To John's fortune, the magma just happened to burn at 70 septentrigintillion degrees fahrenheit. (-6,000 Vatii the Wind Spirit)
[b]Dave Strider[/b]: Dave begins to gaze at the blue lightning being engulfed by Rose's purple wind. The sound of John's sick keyboard solo fills him with adrenaline and causes him to lift his feet off the ground and begin running to the closest enemy he sees, which happens to be Bot01. Using the Royal Deringer, he swiftly takes a swing at the mechanical fucker's chest, showering the area with golden sparks.
Roll: 10. (No result written as of yet)
[b]Jade Harley[/b]: Meanwhile, Jade sleeps, attempting to gain some psychic foresight on the future battlefield. Under the safety of LOFAF (Land of Frost and Frogs), she drifts off at the peak of her golden tower, far away from the battlefield.
Roll: 3. You take the floating gate and find yourself in a desolate, snowy world. Directly in front of you stands a tall cylinder shaped tower. You dash past the frogs hopping and ribbiting at your feet, and dash through the doors, feeling elated by the beauty of this magical land. You step onto the floor portal and quickly appear on the top floor of the tower, which is essentially a large hollow orb. In this spherical room, you see the bed and at the sight of it, you're immediately overcome with exhaustion. You dive into the fluffy bed and drift off. But you're only welcomed by a nightmare. Or in this especially horrifying experience of strange demons, creepy noises, and psychologically traumatizing events, you might even call it...a [b]HORRORTERROR.[/b] [b](Jade: -500 HP)
