Instrumental for song 2 is finished, as are the lyrics (which will be below the cut)!
This introduces us to Martyn's character, as well as to the burdgeoning alliances currently forming (aside from Pearl and Scott, who will be focused on later; and from the Southlands, which have yet to form in the musical timeline).
(ft some anachromisms and contradictions to canon, since I know many of these alliances are formed later and don't interact with Martyn at this point, but I want to introduce them as soon as I can – there won't be time later)
Do note that the claps will be recorded in person, and that a sparser accompaniment generally means more vocal parts (which can't be heard here, since this is just the instrumental track).
(still may be changed on the recording day – lines I'm not sure about will have an asterisk – but currently:)
[music starts]
Martyn (spoken): Four lives? You know what, I’ll take it!
MARTYN
Right, here we go again — new world, another start.
New chance to see who’ll reach the end, and who will fall apart
Well, won’t be me – this time I’ll be the very last to fall
No care for cost, I’ll lie, double cross to take it all*
Walls, corners, edges, I’ve been this way before.
You’ll be cornered in the corners, and on edge in many more;
And walls you’ll build and walls you’ll raise(/raze) and walls will fall in war,
Kinship destroyed, so keep it a void you’re fighting for.
So corner to corner, I’ll keep wandering on,
Border to border, through woods, through caves, through spawn,
Sure, laugh with some, don’t keep it glum, so long as lines are drawn
Forego the rest, and don’t invest, just keep on wandering (WATCHER CHORUS: wandering, wandering) on.
[short instrumental]
LIZZIE
Welcome, oh welcome to my tree fort, yet unnamed
MARTYN
Be careful with that name you pick — don’t want it to get flamed!
LIZZIE
(spoken: …Ah)
They won’t demean*
A fellow green...
...Your lives?
MARTYN
That’s mine to know
Is that a tower over there? See you, I’ve got to go!
[short instrumental]
TEAM BEST
BEST will be the best, and we’ll show em what we got
With our matching shields, and our towering snow fort
MARTYN
Hold on a sec, where’s your respect?
BDUBS/SKIZZ
Respect?
MARTYN
Yeah, that’s my bit!
Same shields? Snow? A world ago? With Ren and- fine, have it
SCAR/BEST/LIZZIE/MARTYN
No matter if you're in your
sixes or twos/Let's find some ore to-
I'll sell you an offer you/-mine
cannot refuse/It'll be the fairy fort!
Crystals for fleeing,/I'm fine just to chat
Crystals for flame,/Not falling for that!
Survival's the
ALL
Name of the game!
SCAR/BEST/LIZZIE/MARTYN
Corner to corner, I'll just keep on wandering, wandering on/Yes, join the fairy fort, I'd love to have you here!/BEST will be the best, with our diamonds and our gold*
We can build a secret passageway so we'll always be near!/Put us to the test, and you'll see that we won't fold/A crystal or spell, oh, Joel, you'd help me sell?/Through woods, through caves-
-But still for my sake I probably should find a team: it would do me some-/We'll aid each other when we need, together we will succeed, oh-/Put us to the test and you'll see that we'll do-/Goody!* Magical Mountain we'll be!
ALL (including Cleo, BigB and Joel, who are now onstage with their respective alliances)
Good – It's this I've understood!*
UPPER WATCHERS/LOWER WATCHERS
Oh, wander, wander on/Wonder, wonder
On/When they'll all start to turn tails
Wonder, wonder/Wander, wander
When trust will yield to betrayals/On
WATCHERS/MARTYN
Till the rest are gone.../Right, here I go again – I'll fight with my axe drawn*
Oh, wander, little pawn/But, unlike then... I'll lead, not play a pawn
[instrumental; END]
(note: for the chorus where everyone's overlapping, I haven't heard it with words yet (since I can only sing one part at once) – I will pan it, but if some parts get too crowded/chaotic, I may remove one or two parts. On a stage, everyone would be singing in different groups in different areas, in different ranges, so it would be clearer – but that's not something available to ,e)

Atem, a lingering spirit, haunts an abandoned house that’s fallen into ruin. He’s long resigned himself to his strange, lonely existence.
That is, until Yugi Mutou enters the picture.

@punmasterintraining says: I read this one back when it was updating, I was new to the fandom and it combines 2 of my favorite tropes, the ghost au and amnesia (soooo much angst potential). It's been 3 years since i've read it, but I remember it being a really sweet story. I hope you all enjoy it too <3

When she wraps up a case, Morgan typically uses that time to relax and recharge. This case would be no different – if it weren’t for the last minute realization that Karadec is the killer’s final victim.
It’s the third anniversary of the release of my first game, Totem Force!
Totem Force is the story of an average high schooler who saves a mysterious entity (or TOT3M) from a government research facility, ending up getting strange powers in the process. Along with their friends, and a few less friendly characters, they’ll end up fighting monsters, the military, and even ancient gods, all to protect the city from destruction!
You can play the game as male, female, or nonbinary, and while there’s no explicit choice of sexuality, you can date both male and female characters (or have a friendship route with a nonbinary character).
You can play the game here, and it’s also available on Google Play, the App Store, and Steam. If you like the game, please also consider supporting me on Patreon if you can.
I'm the anon who wrote in about a college professor AU - just wanted to let you guys know I found it!!! It's called You're So Smart, How Could You Not Know? by dottieapple and it's so good
I’m glad you found it!
You're So Smart, How Could You Not Know?* by dottieapple (complete | 37,047 | E) *chose not to warn
Dr. James Buchanan Barnes is the newest assistant professor at Shield College, a small liberal arts school not terribly far from New York City. Dr. Steven Grant Rogers is that hot jerk who works in the art department. Bucky's not interested in Steve--He's NOT. He just happens to run into Steve all over the place. Steve, who runs the campus in tiny jogging shorts, who has pretty eyes, who is clearly good with his students but doesn't talk much to his colleagues. Will sparks fly for this well-dressed, metal-armed English professor and this stoic, muscular, cargo-short wearing, paint-splattered artist?
