  Song of the Day, 12/29/03
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 12-29-2003, 05:19 PM - Forum: Drunkard's Walk II: Robot's Rules of Order - Replies (2)

The wind blows hard against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road
My heart is old, it holds my memories
My body burns a gemlike flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again
Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison, where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
When I was young I thought of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Or only wished what I could be
Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison, where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
-- Mr. Mister, Kyrie
-- Bob

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

  Extremely useful song idea
Posted by: Scrambler - 12-28-2003, 09:03 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (11)

Weird Al's "everything you know is wrong" as a meta-song. Where "I'll play for you" targets the song effects, "everything you know is wrong" would INVERT the song effects. Seeing as it has the lyrics "Black is white, up is down, and short is long." With "hazy shade bangles" he could get fire powers. I don't think it would be wise to use it with "I'm alive" though...

  Possible use for backfires

What if Doug did "I'll play for you" and then targeted a backfire at an opponent?

  Love Hina and the AMG step
Posted by: WengFook - 12-26-2003, 04:32 PM - Forum: Future Steps - Replies (63)

okay I was hit by an idea. It might not be a good one but...
okay since the AMG step has already been plotted out as an 'official' step and Bob has been thinking of putting Doug in a world like Love Hina, why not combine the two universes?
since the timeline is almost around the same time period. the times match enough... or has the AMG step already been set in stone?

The Lighthouse's Tale
By: Nickel Creek
I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.
I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way.
I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past.
I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts.
I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea.
We had grown closer, 'till his joy meant everything to me.
And he was to marry, a girl who shone with beauty and light.
And they loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into night.
Chorus:
And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to sea.
And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be.
She'd had to leave us, my keeper he prayed for a safe return.
But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned.
He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wave.
In me so helpless, as dashed against the rock she met her end.
Chorus
Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the SHORE.
He kissed her cold face, that they'd be together soon he'd swore.
I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand.
And then he climbed my tower, and off of the edge of me he ran.
Chorus
I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.
And though I am empty, I still warn the sailors on their way.

This looks like a good song for Doug to discover the history of a building.Zack Seaholm - Anime fan, weathernut, worshiper of the goddess Belldandy.

  Some Jethro Tull and Heather Dale
Posted by: Riot - 12-23-2003, 11:31 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (5)

If Doug ever needs a sword, this might provide one.
Broadsword - Jethro Tull
I see a dark sail on the horizon set under a black
cloud that hides the sun.
Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding.
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding.
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman.
Bless with a hard heart those who surround me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind. Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on for the motherland.
Or maybe this one
Kingsword - Heather Dale
The kingsword will stand
The kingsword will stand
The kingsword will stand in its scabbard of granite
The quicksilver forged in the pools of the sky
A rumor explained by the one who began it
A boy's hand will grasp it, a man's raise it high
Son of the dragon, of night and the slaughter
Whose wisdom his unshaven youth will belie
Will wake from her slumber the lake's only daughter
To answer the calling she cannot deny
The kingsword will stand in its scabbard of granite
The quicksilver forged in the pools of the sky
A rumor explained by the one who began it
A boy's hand will grasp it, a man's raise it high
Wrought by a queen for the hand of the chosen
From fish scales and currents and winter's reply
Brought from the deep by a prophet who knows
In the arms of the water again it will lie
The kingsword will stand in its scabbard of granite
The quicksilver forged in the pools of the sky
A rumor explained by the one who began it
A boy's hand will grasp it, a man's raise it high
The kingsword will stand
The kingsword will stand
The kingsword will stand
The kingsword will stand
The kingsword will stand in its scabbard of granite
The quicksilver forged in the pools of the sky
A rumor explained by the one who began it
A boy's hand will grasp it, a man's raise it high

Crashing Down - Heather Dale
You must be getting pretty tied
Of the man who once inspired you
Going back on what he asked you to believe
All the promises of power form his glittering ivory tower
Where's the height he once told you, you'd achieve
Those other men believe what you and I will never see
But I say why believe in place of proof
Let those other keep on praying
You know I'm only saying
What the other are afraid might be the truth
Well they say nothing grows until the oak has hit the ground
So let's clear the way my boys
And let the giant come crashing down
Where are all the things you fought for
All the dreams you shed your blood for
Are they shabby now and fraying at the seams
Was this your boyhood vision,
To endure the world's derision
While the culprit sits and laughs behind the scenes
Well they say nothing grows
Until the oak has hit the ground
So let's clear the way my boys
And let the giant come crashing down
um de le di
um de le di
um de le di
um de le di
Let us cleanse this farce with fire
Strike the fool who leads the liar
Let it all come crumbling down
Like the firebird from the ashes
We will rise to lead the masses
The strongest will emerge to wear the crown
Well they say nothing grows
Until the oak has hit the ground
So let's clear the way my boys
And let the giant come crashing down
Let's clear the way my boys
And let the giant come crashing down

just curious.... what happens the second time Doug plays a 'backfire' song? does it blow up in his face again? does it do nothing? does it turn him into a giant chicken?

This song has two rather obvious possibilities, either as an attack song or a gate song. I leave it to Bob to decide which he'll use.- Aleh, who is currently working on a Ranma fic in which Kunou decides the only way to beat the 'Foul Sorcerer' is to learn his ways... and is currently running around wearing a black helmet and calling himself 'Darth Kunou'.
