Let the games begin!

[several days late, as has been the trend lately, the Shuffle's transmission plays for the Fleet.

...or, it tries anyway. the music doesn't even make it--just a punch of static with sad, scattered pieces of musical notes trying to struggle their way through.

when Diamond's voice is finally heard, it's only intelligible in three little bites.]


--Three disappearing from-- ... --new faces, so-- ... --Captain Halliwell--...

[and then the music blends strangely with other sounds, like someone flipping idly through broken radio stations. it takes some time for anything to come in clear, and every frequency turns up the same interference. it isn't until several minutes later that one signal suddenly stutters into clarity, and music begins to play.

wherever you are, they are playing your song! and if there are multiple people in the room, maybe the speakers nearest to each person are playing different songs, each specific to the closest passenger. and after the signal connects, the speakers will continue to play whatever song they started with, even if different passengers move toward or away from them, and will only play something else when the controls are messed around with. and the signals and machinery will continue to behave in this way sporadically, all through the month.]

ooc: the musical madness has begun! feel free to use this post as a mingle for interactions relating to shuffle day and the ensuing musical chaos. if you have any questions, please post them to the January ooc post!

Depends on the country.

...And probably the time period.

No way. Temples are all, like... holy and spooky and... nothing like bongo drums.

Then I feel Hollywood has once again lied to me.

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-13 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Who's Hollywood?

It's not a person, it's a place, on Earth.
catamite: (just a statistic)

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-16 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
...And it lied to you about temples?

[he's so far from following this...]

It lies about a lot of things, this is nothing new.
catamite: (just a statistic)

Okay, so...

[rubbing his face because thinking is hard and he has so lost track of this conversation already.]

There's a band playing on your radio... and temple music is playing on this one...

[...but that's as far as his thinking gets. this might be a totally lost cause.]
onlyanapple: (Smug)

[Conversations with Crowley will do that to you if you try them sober.]

That's the jist of it, yep.
catamite: (not a whore)

[yeah, he's really wishing he had a drink, or something stronger, right about now.]

So... what's that mean?
onlyanapple: (Nicotine Habit)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-01-19 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Buggered if I know.

[He's helpful, too!]
catamite: (use smaller words)

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-20 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...Aren't you worried, though?
onlyanapple: (Sushi)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-01-21 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Not especially. Worrying takes a lot of energy, and usually it's not worth it.
catamite: (career smile)

[personal profile] catamite 2015-01-22 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I guess that's true.

[Crowley's backwards logic might just be encouraging someone. watch out!]
onlyanapple: (Collar turned up high)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-01-22 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
There we go, then.

[And lo, he makes life difficult for everyone who speak to Nel in the future, and his job is done.]
