The Space Opera Working Thread

reply to post by A boy in a dress


I got an ad in the US, but can't recall what it was - it gave me the option to skip the ad after about 5 seconds or so, and so I did.

Sometimes I get the 5 sec skip - sometimes I'm forced to wait 20. Just too funny all the way around - I guess you had to be there.

And yeah, Silo's going to be in some big trouble pretty quick... I don't know yet what Quiet's going to do about it. I have a feeling it isn't going to be pretty.

peace

I am sorry about that, the link certainly ridicules the text and I was thinking of asking Masqua
to remove the Youtube link. Damn!! I did try to do it right for Adam.

It pay me next time to just write the lines and deter from these fancy link-thingys!!

But if brought a giggle, them maybe I didn't screw-up to much!

reply to post by A boy in a dress

Well, erm, for my part:
I didn't get an ad....the song played beautifully....
and certainly added to my experience reading the episode, but, ok. I'll just remember it as being very moving. (Great song!)

Again, looking forward to where you're headed with them! Into the ether together, I guess!!

reply to post by A boy in a dress

Not your fault at all - in fact it was pretty sweet all the way around in a twisted madman kind of way. I surely wasn't complaining.

Just letting you know a silly moment in the Opera. And that little bit of 'serendipity' that creeps into 'real life'.

Certainly if the song had been oh, I don't know the 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' tune used in an add or something even more obscure it wouldn't have been the same and I probably wouldn‘t have mentioned it. But ‘Arrivederci Roma‘ it just kind of fit in a weird striking funny sweet way. Especially when - who was it Adam was seeing but Frank Sinatra walking through the hut?

Here’s the lyrics as I remember them in English - maybe that helps.

Arrivederci roma, Goodbye, goodbye to rome
City of a million moonlit places
City of a million warm embraces
Where I found the one of all the faces, Far from home! (Applicable I would say)

Arrivederci roma, It's time for us to part
Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning in her heart! (More than applicable yes?)



Thank you again for a stunning end to a very beloved character. Now hopefully we're done with those two and can move on leaving them in peace.

In fact the more I think of it? I think we’ll find my little group actually in Rome. Why the hell not. I’ve been troubled with just 'where' they are - maybe now I've found the right place. Thanks to - Serendipity.

Have a good one!

Actually, I wasn't thinking of having the Doctor out of the equation just yet!
I think it would've been a little mean of me to take-on the Adam character and
then toss him into the void!! (Anyway, BIAD wouldn't have let me!)

I'm musing on a plan, but I haven't got all the kinks in it -all worked out yet.

Rome, heh? If it's on K IV, why not call it Roma II and have the colosseum
up-and-running again?!!

reply to post by A boy in a dress


Can someone please let me know which parts of the story we're going to pursue - and which we are leaving behind??

LOL!!! What are Ben and Neno doing now with the Big Man on Campus thing? Wild and Brittle were at his "coronation" speech, and that weird green shadow-image appeared to Wild. I thought it might tie in somehow with either the ethereals, the wraith-women, or the Avalon bit, so we could get those wrapped up.

I'd also been hoping to keep the wraith-women alive, with them being the "helpmeets" of the men in question, but if we're moving away from that, I'll go another direction.....
just...let me know!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIAD!

reply to post by wildtimes


I was hoping -with your permission, to have Dag and Adam resurrected in-or-on
another plane of some-sort. If you think Avalon would be a good idea, then please
fill-in the spaces for me... I've been to Glastonbury and The Tor and read-up on the
Vale Of Apples, but no doubt -our tale will hardly be factual!!

Even if the Avalon idea is merely a glammer produced by Death and Pandora, then
detail will be needed. Just a thought.

BIAD says thanks to you and Silo for the 'Happy Birthday' cheer!

reply to post by A boy in a dress


Uggh.. I had a post all set to send and my cable died for a few minutes.

You don't need my permission, as far as I'm concerned, Dag and Adam are free agents at the moment.

I'm not hell-bent on resolving the Avalon storyline, or even resolving whether or not they ever came to an understanding and were "reunited." Personally I don't see any reason for them to be "dead and gone"....

in the ether, ghosts, wraiths, hanging with Death and Pandora, hanging with the Sisterhood, interfering with the still-alive characters...makes no diff to me!

I just want to know what direction to go!

reply to post by A boy in a dress

Rome, heh? If it's on K IV, why not call it Roma II and have the colosseum
up-and-running again?!!

Great minds think alike.
I think that's where the Giant is headed...after dealing with Silo.

For the future? I can see it now. Neno, BIAD in the colosseum - against the GIANT.

Maybe, maybe not. I'll let you know as soon as I'm told!

Got a question. Last night I pretty much dreamt the whole Roma sequence.
Do you all want an outline here so you can see where I'm headed? Or do you want it to be a surprise.
I don't know if that would be a plus or no for the rest???

Here's a hint.



Have a good Friday everyone.

reply to post by silo13


That's great!

reply to post by A boy in a dress

Ok, quit laughing and tell me if you want an outline here, lol.
Honestly I don't know if I should post it or let it all come together on it's own, or what.

Which reminds me I should put something up concerning Pip and the girls left back on Ship - and Newman. I've just dreaded opening myself up to poor Newman's torment.

Anyway - let me know if you (all) want a heads up outline or if we should just go on like we have before.

Have a great weekend.

reply to post by silo13


Sure, make Roma II a place where it's more relaxed, more civilised than other areas
of K IV. As far as Newman is concerned, I'm sure he has something to do with Cindy
being scarce... although the crystal ball won't tell me yet!!

reply to post by A boy in a dress

For 'those in favore' - it will be more than relaxed.
For those less...fortunate? The ones 'caught' and turned over to Venus by the Waysmen?
I don't think so.

peace

This single line produced uncontrollable shuddering and cringing, which continued for 15 minutes before I could continue reading:

the naked Crone had not been noticed by Tibbs

Naked crone? MY EYES! MY EYES!

reply to post by nenothtu


Consider yourself lucky, BIAD photoshopped an image that he made me look at.
Most of the blood has been washed from my eyes and my leg has stopped shaking,
after a small discussion, he agreed with me that it would be unwise to put the image
on the site.
Sadly at this moment in time, the print-out of the naked- Mucklebones cannot be burned,
torn or dowsed in gasoline.
Believe me, I tried!

reply to post by A boy in a dress

Love it - your 'out of bounds' photos are really incredibly done. Nice!
And the new guy - spooky that. I'll explain later.
Great Stuff!

reply to post by silo13


'spooky'... huh?!
Well, it may be that the weird-waves that seem to connect myself to Neno
may well be spreading their wings to other areas!!
BIAD told me that the real reason is that since the 'bubble-bath' thing, he's
focusing more!!

Ya know, I'm not that pleased with my last two posts - I could have done much better - errrrr, I mean THEY could have but I'm SO PSYCHED about the story line! I can't wait to see how this all fits in.

And like I said - I just might get my 'Lady and Tiger' kind'a sequence yet! Cause we're headed for ROMA!

Flint and Moriah following the Giant (unknown to them also Silo).

Jeni and Argus (can you imagine what SHE is going to do when she finds Argus hung over WITHOUT her sister and Flint)!

And...and...and... We'll have to see from there.

Poor Quiet. Another one gone - but - that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Oh - and if any of you want to tap out the scene where Argus wakes up to Jeni finally catching up to him and well, ha ha, he's minus her sister and Flint? Just let me know.
