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.]

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.

[asskickersunite]

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

[asskickersunite]

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

[draconic_historian]

Very well, Sir Riggs. Know that you have the honor of fighting alongside the dragon Ricasthix. I look forwards to seeing if you can make good on your boasts.

[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!

[musclebeast]

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

[bratworth]

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

[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.

[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.

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.

[asskickersunite]

Hey, get an electric violin and slap a distortion pedal on it, you can make some pretty awesome music.

Sounds like a pretty dismal place, though... What's it like?

[asskickersunite]

Baby steps, it looks like a lot of you guys aren't there yet. Rock is the gateway to Metal.

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?

[asskickersunite]

Yeah, I've spent the last few months on tour with an army trying to free humanity from a bunch of BDSM demons. I got plenty of practice building and maintaining an army, on top of how awesome I already am at fixing things.

[asskickersunite]

Oh I won't just make good on them, I'll blow your freakin' mind.

[urnotafraid]

I'm no musician.

Audio;

[asskickersunite]

Yeah. Roadies keep shit running smoothly so the band can perform without any problems.

Re: video;

[tipsygnostalgia]

That sounds so cool, except I don't actually have one right now. I wonder f they even have them in this place?

And as for where I'm from, it pretty much sucked balls. Not really sure what else to call it.

[asskickersunite]

Practice, and then you may know the secrets of Metal.

[At that, Eddie strums out a particularly tasty riff.]

[urnotafraid]

[ Just looks at him for a moment. ]

I hope you aren't gonna be doing that all the time in the apartment.

[asskickersunite]

Well, no. Not all the time. I don't wanna risk burning the place down.

[urnotafraid]

Good, cuz I get pissy when someone tries to burn me.

Audio;

[musclebeast]

So it's a service level occupation then. Though since you support a type of art it makes it a more noble of occupations.

I suppose.

[asskickersunite]

That uh... Is that a problem you have often?
