"TFLF Ch. 22: When Worlds Collide"
|
In the next episode of The Federation Lives Forever!: Someone else had the idea of starting a Light Music Club at DSM at the same time as the girls of Hōkago Tea Time, and unlike Frame Shift, the newcomers this time are complete strangers. Chapter Twenty-Two: "When Worlds Collide" I rushed a bit to get this one out, OG Serial Experiment style, because I have to be out of the house for Personal Things tomorrow and I wanted to have this ep in the wild beforehand. Please excuse any lumps. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Sweet! And only one lump (Kohei? Kohai? You've used both now, and I'm prone to fall afoul of Emerson's observation on consistency.) I suspect Sandstar's sound comes from whatever recordings were left behind when Meta Eridani III was abandoned in 2335. Most likely they combed through everything they could find before settling on one style they could agree on. Peter Eng -- "Maybe you like city pop, but that makes one of us." |

Kōhai, the "e" was a typo. >I suspect Sandstar's sound comes from whatever recordings were left >behind when Meta Eridani III was abandoned in 2335. Pretty much, yeah. I kind of half-jokingly speculated in the Forum that some of it might date all the way back to a data solid Gryphon accidentally dropped in the woods during the Beast Wars. It's the kind of Ancient Artifact that Tsuchinoko would have collected. :) >Most likely they >combed through everything they could find before settling on one style >they could agree on. They can do more than one style, but PM5K has a unique balance of heavy sound and campy scifi lyrics that really appeals to their sensibilities for some reason. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

She picked keyboards because they can be set up at the back and the operator stands behind them. She thinks with Kaban, Serval, and Shoebill out front, nobody will notice her. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

"That's true," Yui said, and then, thoughtfully, "I wonder what a shoebill is?"
is it just coincidence that Shoebill (a kind of duck) is a bassist, as was the late Donald "Duck" Dunn? -Z --- Remember kids: guns make you stupid, duct tape makes you smart.

Shoebills aren't ducks, they're large African wading birds related to pelicans and herons (and strongly resembling storks). Still, the avian connection is amusing, albeit unintentional. I made Shoebill the bass player because I thought it was the most fitting position for someone who looks so intimidating (doubly so because Shoebill doesn't mean to be intimidating). --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Actually, Kaname and Sousuke are juniors during the first episodes of DSMP (Lindsey’s a sophomore), which means by this point of the timeline, the two are now seniors. It is now Kaname’s third year at DSM, but that’s because she tried to have a “normal” year at Jindai High School in New Avalon during her freshman year while waiting for Lindsey to graduate and head to DSM. >"According to the submitted paperwork, it isn't aggressive unless its >owner is attacked, so I think you can ignore this... 'polar bear dog?' > Spirits, this place just got weirder." Point of fact, Kaname has met Korra before while growing up (the latter babysat the former once or twice when meeting G’s friends in New Avalon - she did that a lot back in the day during her visits), and while not having met any of Naga’s progeny face-to-muzzle, Kaname’s seen pictures because Korra loves showing off pictures of her closest companions. (Kaname also has passing familiarity with some of the Valkyrie, thanks to being Corwin’s friend since at least the third grade.) — Philip

Huh. I didn't know Kaname was that close to Corwin's family specifically. I sort of thought of all the Sterling daughters as doing their own thing much of the time in this day and age, and Mars Division in particular is a little out in left field, I'd think, from the norm. I believe I'll go back and reread that Invid origin story again. =) ------ Authors of our fates Orchestrate our fall from grace Poorest players on the stage Our defiance drives us straight to the edge |

I didn't know Kaname was that close to Corwin's family >specifically. Well, Komilia Sterling served with Gryphon directly in Eight-Ball Squadron during the Golden Age, Therese was a crew chief for the Eight-Balls, and Maia and Miranda were members of the Nazgul intelligence squadron, so they also worked closely with him back in the day. So Kaname's got at least one to two degrees of separation between her and the Hutchins family conglomeration, coming along whenever her parents and aunts get invited to any family parties. >I sort of thought of all the Sterling daughters as doing >their own thing much of the time in this day and age, and Mars >Division in particular is a little out in left field, I'd think, from >the norm. > >I believe I'll go back and reread that Invid origin story again. =) While the Sterling Siblings all have wide and varied lifestyles across the known galaxy, Miranda Sterling and her husband Thade decided to settle down in New Avalon while raising Kaname and her sister through the grade school years. Mind, they still are active members of Mars Division, so are sometimes out on assignment, but enough relatives-of-wedge-defenders from the old days live in New Avalon that they felt comfortable leaving their progeny there unattended if needed. — Philip
