1st Sölö [Video]

[asskickersunite]

Whoa, hey uh... Is this thing on?

[Eddie's face fills the screen for a moment before he pulls the device back, giving the viewer a clear shot of the word "SUCCORIA" on his t-shirt, as well as a badge that reads "Ironheade" in bold white letters against a black background, and above it is a sword pointing down into a pattern of rocks similar to Stonehenge. The badge itself is dangling from a lanyard, and is intertwined with a rather large fang dangling from a black cord draped around Eddie's neck.]

Right, cool. So they brought me up to speed on the kinda shit you guys have been dealing with. The good news? I'm throwing my hat in the ring with you guys. Name's Eddie, Eddie Riggs. I'm a roadie. If you're wondering what the bad news is, well, the bad news is they didn't bring the rest of the army with me, but don't you guys worry about that!

Trust me, we'll have this under control in no time, we just need some good music, scrap metal, and some willing hands to help me work on some projects once I got my shit in order over here.

So what do you say, guys? How about we give this rebellion a bit more Rock?

[While he waits for people to chime in, he's going to alternate between reading his tour book, tuning his guitar, and looking over the edges of his battle axe.]

[Have a nice tinny/robotic sounding voice.]

I fail to see how music is going to help aid a rebellion unless it's being used to lift spirits.

[video]

[asskickersunite]

See, that's the beauty of it. Where I come from, we could use music to do awesome things like shoot lightning bolts and light people on fire.

Besides, I got just the thing for lifting spirits when a fight breaks out. I mean... I can't really do that stuff inside, I don't think my new room mates would appreciate finding something in the apartment on fire.

[ghostling]

Sounds neat. I knew this guy back home that could do something similar. He was kind of a pain in the ass though.

[asskickersunite]

How did he pull it off?

[Oh look it's a dragon.]

Having an actual army would have perhaps been handy. Is a roadie some manner of general, then?

Video

[asskickersunite]

Roadies are usually just supposed to tour with bands. We're the guys who clean up the stage, tune the instruments, make sure the band has whatever they need to do what they do.

I just handle the organization, I'm no leader.

[Hold on Ricasthix. The wheels in his head are turning.]

Am I talking to a dragon?

Video etc

[draconic_historian]

So more like a quartermaster or lackey. Well it takes all kinds, I suppose.

[Knew he'd get it eventually.]

I have to admit as a species we tend to stand out. We are not known for subtlety.

[bratworth]

What sort of projects were you thinking of, specifically?

[asskickersunite]

Shit that can protect people here. Better armor, weapons, vehicles, the works. I just need a better idea of what's going on, the parts, and the time to work.

[bratworth]

Those all seem like sound ideas. [ He nods. ] You've experience in such matters?

[ex_symbioses706]

[ huh ]

Could it be...that you're a rock musician?

video

[asskickersunite]

Nah, I'm just a roadie. But I am pretty good on my guitar.

video

[ex_symbioses706]

Oh, I see! Do you write your own music, too?

[urnotafraid]

You're bringing rock to a rebellion? [ Okay, maybe he wasn't as good with English as he thought he was. Sho is just gonna frown while trying to figure it out. ]

[asskickersunite]

Hell yeah, I can't think of any better music for it.

[urnotafraid]

I'd always figured you would use metal and not rock for that sorta thing.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Who were you a roadie for? And hell yes, this place totally needs some rock!

video;

[asskickersunite]

As much as I hate to admit it, I've been around a lot of bands, but the most recent one I went along with was Kabbage Boy. At least until they were all killed.

After that, I started touring with Ironheade.

video;

[tipsygnostalgia]

I've never heard of any of them...

But don't take offense or anything, I mean where Im from there isn't really any live music bands or anything so..

I can play violin! I guess that's not very metal though.

[musclebeast]

What is a roadie. Is that a race? Explain now.

Audio;

[asskickersunite]

It's that figure in the black shirt you never see, who goes around fixing problems so a band can perform. Never in the spotlight, only appearing when they're needed. That's a roadie.

Audio;

[musclebeast]

There are many figures in black shirts, that comes with being a troll.

Band, so a roadie has something to do with music then?

[fortissimos]

[ Sayaka's not in the best of places right now, but one thing sticks out here. ]

How's music gonna help?

video;

[asskickersunite]

Because I can literally melt faces off with an awesome guitar solo, that's how.

[To be fair, it's not a point Eddie feels can really be argued.]

video;

[fortissimos]

Wait, seriously? [ She's not sure whether to be impressed or horrified, and winds up sounding more confused than anything. ] That's crazy! How do you even control something like that?
