Agent Kallus Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) The Tale of Doctor Alfredson of Corrington: Chapter 3 Chapter 1 : Embarking on towards Adventure.Chapter 2 : The Voyage of the Autumn Blossom. Character list in spoiler brackets. Spoiler - Ragnar Alfredson : Corrish Doctor of ecology. - Calder Norrington : Corrish Student of ecology and apprentice to Doctor Alfredson. - Satoshi Kaijik : One of Yiroe's crow and a Marine in the service of the All Seasons Trade Guild. - Isabella Magne : Vocalist and pianist for the Weelond Players. - Maria Morten : Arpeggione player and Vocalist for the Weelond Players. - Carlotta Pal : Flute player for the Weelond Players. -Aharriet Wendil : Orphan from Rassilon. On his journey through the sea of storms Ragnar had bonded with one of the All Seasons Trade Guild Marines, a jolly old man by the name of Satoshi. At Ragnar's request Captain Yiroe had allowed Satoshi to go off with the scientists on their field work on the island, as long as they hired the labourers first. Upon Arriving in Rassilon the first sensation to reach the men was that of a lyrical melody. The Weelond players had deiced to practice in Rassilon, far away from the prying ears of their Esolandian rivals and managed to get permission to use the bandstand on the premise that there music was a free charitable gift to the people of Rassilon. "I see bright hills, and pasture's green, the grapevine gives freely it's fruit." "What does it mean to love the sea? To see the land so fresh and clean, but run back far from our home, to the ocean that I have known." The players sang their song in background.Calder was not softened by the tune the flute nor that of the paino and he was still extremely anxious, and eager to done with this whole ordeal. He had hoped they'd be in Cocovia by now ,with his limited seafaring experience he had assumed they'd get there much quicker. "Should we not get moving? Time is not a finite resource, it would be safer for us to continue." "It's a lovely melody.So needless to say you'd regret it if you missed out.Besides we have no idea when Yiroe will be back so there isn't any need to rush, we should make the most of this oppertunity," Satoshi chipped in saying "It's no better to be safe than sorry." Calder let out a resigned sigh and submitted. "I suppose it is a nice tune." "There we go, you're slowly learning that life is okay" A small crowd had gathered to listen to the song. The Weelond players were glad that there song was well recieved. "Land is full of toil of pain, but life at sea is much the same" "flute noises" "and yet when I feel the salt in the wind and taste that ocean breeze I know where I belong." "I know where I belong ,Within that deep blue throng" "In a vessel bought from the Weelond wharf, I'll sail contented and free." "I'll sail with the wind behind me, and I won't let the sun blind me," "No one's here to berate me, I'll sail contented and free, Knowing it's where I'm glad to be" "Traveling from port to port, cashing in on my trade and bringing glory with me back home." "Oh glory comes home to Esol..." (the players decided to omit that word to make the song more appealing to their current audience.)" Thanks to the love of the sea!" "All thanks to the love of the sea!" "Woo,Encore Encore!" Calder still had his grivences and tried again to address them to Ragnar. "I'm odds and ends,You seem so positive about this trip, but can you really be so without doubt? "You seemed happy to sign up in the first place, We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say, I don't know how to help you." "If you want to help then tell me, these things that you say is it life or just to play my worries away?""Honestly I think we'll be fine, we should back on Corrish soil in a day or two ,Are you fine to carry on or do need some rest?" "I'm fine thanks, It will be over faster if we get it done, I just hope Yiroe and Ruri don't take too long." They left the bandstand ready to hire some labourers. The music they left behind still rang out across town.Much to displeasure of those in Rassilon who did not like being awake. OOC: This is the Third part of Doctor Alfredson's story and also my entry in category 3 of the Musicians Talent Fair Mini-Challenge , whilst its separate parts are spread over an area it is too big but it can all fit on a 16 x 16 so I hope that's okay, if not then could you count the bandstand on it's own as my entry. C and C are as always welcome. Calder's temperament in this chapter is more intense intense than I'd originally intended but I couldn't miss an opportunity to reference my favourite song (The first person to spot all the references to this song wins a free no-prize prize). Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it . Edited April 21, 2018 by Agent Kallus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote I was not able to spot the references, which is ashame as I tend to include (especially musical) references in my contributions Were you hunting high and low for them? Feel free to try again (the references were only in the words and not the builds.) I'll put a full list in spoilers below. Spoiler Firstly the surnames of the Weelond Players are the first names of the band members of Aha, and the orphan's first name of Aharriet is a portmanteau of Aha and Harriet ,not technically lyrical references but references nonetheless. All the other references are direct quotes from the song inserted haphazardly into the conversation between the main characters and are shown in quote below. I didn't want to use the line 'Take me on ,take on me' as that would have been too obvious. Quote "Should we not get moving? Time is not a finite resource, it would be safer for us to continue." "It's a lovely melody.So needless to say you'd regret it if you missed out.Besides we have no idea when Yiroe will be back so there isn't any need to rush, we should make the most of this opportunity," "It's no better to be safe than sorry." "I suppose it is a nice tune." "There we go, you're slowly learning that life is okay" "I'm odds and ends,You seem so positive about this trip, but can you really be so without doubt?" "You seemed happy to sign up in the first place, We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say, I don't know how to help you." "If you want to help then tell me, these things that you say is it live or just to play my worries away?" "Honestly I think we'll be fine, we should back on Corrish soil in a day or two ,Are you fine to carry on or do need some rest?" "I'm fine thanks, It will be over faster if we get it done, I just hope Yiroe and Ruri don't take too long." Quote The guy in the bed is my favourite - where's the head from? Thanks. It's from one the adventures in the Atlantis theme, he was in several sets. I think that most of human's from Atlantis have very useful (yellow) heads.

Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 23, 2018 Stay on these bricks! Reading the post again, needless to say, I found some references. It's no better to be safe than sorry. I never paid much attention to the lyrics as the video was so astounding (back then). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
