loving hell, of all the sessions for Remi to miss... And now Wenzeslaus is even less likely to be able to remember his name when hailing people to tell them he's taking their stuff or challenging them to a duel or covering them in molten gold.

I'm not sure if I should bother with spoilers, but since this is pretty close to the post for the last session... That world must have gotten seriously, seriously wrecked when the Age of Strife began, since demons started appearing pretty much everywhere that had anything to do with psychic stuff or the warp, and on that world they had a nice open doorway. I mean, that vault seems kind of like a section of the Eldar Webway or something. I only know of one attempt at humans connecting to the Webway, and it has gone... poorly. For about ten thousand years at this point.

Can't wait to see what neat totally not tainted archeotech you guys find on your next expedition!

Opera Imperialis

THE PIRATES OF THE EXPANSE

OR

THE LOST SON OF SCINTILLA

Written by: S. W. Garfunkel

Composed by: Archer O’Sullivan

First (and only) Performance at the Grand and Most Excellent Opera of Sibelius 854 M.41

...

So I'm not sure if /tg/ is interested in this, but gently caress it, I might as well post it. If you're a fan of comic opera, you might like it. Even if you're not, you might find a few things to laugh at.

Rest assured this isn't a "straight" edit of any one opera. I've mashed quite a few of them together in a sort of unholy musical hodge-podge.

quote:

SONG – SENESCHAL

SEN. I am the very model of a modern Trader's Seneschal.
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral.
I know the price of produce and I quote the fights historical
From Cadia to Damocles in order categorical.
I am very well equated too with matters most heretical
I understand the Eldar both the Craftworld and piratical.
About the Inquisition I am teeming with a lot of news...
With many cheerful facts about their acolytes and retinues!

ALL. With many cheerful facts, etc.

SEN. I am very good at spotting fakes or any sign of treachery
My constant kind restraint conceals signs of my master’s lechery
In short in matters animal, vegetable or mineral.
I am the very model of a modern Trader's Seneschal!

ALL. In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Trader's Seneschal!

SEN. I know Imperial histr’y from St. Drusus to Macharius
I unravel diplomacy on matters most precarious
I quote Sebastian Thor on the matters of divinity
And can recite all his sermons with unrivalled magnanimity
I can curse in seven languages with all manner of vulgarities
And steal from orphans and the poor and perishable charities.
At auction I can value what a man has never seen afore
And doing so sing praises of his holiness, Saint Malcador!


ALL. And doing so sing praises, etc.

SEN. Then I can write a datascript in Necron circuit-cuneiform
And tell you every detail of my master’s finest uniform.
In short in matters animal, vegetable or mineral.
I am the very model of a modern Trader's Seneschal!


ALL. In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Trader's Seneschal!

...

SEN. In fact, when I know what is meant by “Harridan” and “Hierophant”,
When I can tell at sight a Nurglish Death-Bloom from a potted plant,
When such affairs as surprises and sorties I’m more wary at,
When I return to speaking terms with all the Commissariat,
When I learn what progress has been lost in plasma gunnery
When I can do a week without accusal of a felony
In short, when I’ve a smattering of elemental strategy...
You’ll say a better Seneschal has never fought in zero-G!

ALL. You’ll say a better Seneschal, etc.

SEN. For my military knowledge, though I’m dutifully and erudite
Is lacking both a tutor and any form of formal oversight.
But still in matters animal, vegetable or mineral.
I am the very model of a modern Trader's Seneschal!

ALL. But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Trader's Seneschal!


quote:

FINALE – ACT I

SEN. Oh, men of dark and dismal fate,
Forgo your cruel employ,
Have pity on my lonely state,
I am an orphan boy!
ARCH and SAM. An orphan boy?
SEN. An orphan boy!
TRAITORS. How sad, an orphan boy.

SEN. These children whom you see
Are all that I can call my own!
TRAITORS. Poor fellow!
SEN. Take them away from me,
And I shall be indeed alone.
TRAITORS. Poor fellow!
SEN. If pity you can feel,
Leave me my sole remaining joy –
See, at your feet they kneel;
Your hearts you cannot steel
Against the sad, sad tale of the lonely orphan boy!
TRAITORS. (sobbing) Poor fellow!
See at our feet they kneel;
Our hearts we cannot steel
Against the sad, sad tale of the lonely orphan boy!
ARCH and SAM. The orphan boy!
See at our feet they kneel, etc.

ARCH. You may go, for you’re at liberty, our noble rules protect you,
And honorary members of our band we do elect you!

SAM. For he is an orphan boy!
CHORUS. He is! Hurrah for the orphan boy!
SEN. And it sometimes is a useful thing
To be an orphan boy.
CHORUS. It is! Hurrah for the orphan boy!

SEN. And, you, unhappy former Traitor. I am not unmerciful either: you shall be given a berth aboard my master’s ship, the Nevermore, ‘ere the day is out.
FRED. There was never a more pleasant proclamation made to me. I go, and I shall serve under the Imperial flag as faithfully as I served under a Traitor banner.

Girls and SENESCHAL go up rocks, while TRAITORS indulge in a wild dance of delight on stage. The SENESCHAL produces a flag emblazoned with the Aquila, and the ARCH-TRAITOR, produces a black flag with an eight-pointed star. Enter RUTH, who makes a final appeal to FREDERIC, who casts her from him.

END OF ACT I
