Ambrosia Software Web Board: Singing Demo - Ambrosia Software Web Board

This is a response to the Summer 2013 Challenge. One of the requirements is that the chronicle must reference my favourite city in the game. I could never choose my favourite, and I really like all of them; so where does that put me? Would the Chron need to mention every city in the game? I figured making it a Demodocus story would be a easy way to get every city in. Since it's Demodocus, I tried to make it musical, but I don't know if the tunes will make sense to anyone who's not in my head (also, imagine cool instrumental transitions between each verse of the medley). I still didn't mention Abydos or cool side-places like the flax farm, in fact I only threw Ayrit in at the last minute because I hadn't met the minimum word requirement yet. I think this takes place a couple of days before the start of the game.

(Main theme, 0:00~0:40)
On this day
Every day
The choice I make
Is the same
As every
Where shall I go to play?

There's so many wonderful
Options in this great beautiful land
Where shall I go to play,
on this lovely day?

So many places
So many choices

AHHHH

(Odemia, 0:12-0:48)
In the quaint town of Odemia
There are many tradesmen with various talents and abilities and they are very skilled
So much so, my good cowardly friend Tlepolemus can fish
that man can fish!
Don't ask me how
I couldn't find deep water there
Or really, anywhere
But that is neither here nor there
That is irrelevant to this verse about Odemia

(Catamarca, 0:00-0:29)
Summer spot,
Catamarca!
Inarguably the best place to be
If you are thirsty
But only if you want to catch the deadly plague
I don't know that for sure
It's only a rumor
But you know
I'll stay away
For now anyway.

(Cademia, 0:00-0:40)
O Cademia
Mother city, the oldest town in Cythera
And oh, the mysteries-!
Under the ground
And the delicious cuisine
In Dares' Eatery
Good food, company
But best of all,
Bryaxis, he is the
coolest mage in the world
He is a genius
No others compare to his coolness, indeed

(Kosha, 0:28-0:58)
Yeah, Koshaaaaa!
How I used to
Seeing this modern metropolisssssssss
And catching
with Old Man Canachus
But his so-o-o-ns
Are extremely lame
...So never mind
(I've got better places to be)

(Seldane, 0:00-0:41)
I've heard about
a metic city
Somewhere in
Cythera
I don't know where
And I don't know if
but they do
and that's the important thing

(Pnyx, 0:00-0:30)
I consider Pnyx...
Magesterium...
Lots of secrets here...
Within the tunnels,
Underneath the ground,
Behind locked doors (and I'm sure there's more..!)
But everywhere I go, I do have to eat...
And I want a solid meal!
Pnyx does not comply...
Have you seen their food?...
It's not very good...
'Just go somewhere else

(Land King Hall, 0:24-0:54)
Like the palace of the LandKing
Dear Alaric
He has not been well at all
And I wish I could help..
But there is nothing I can do...
Except play music and sing ballads to attempt to cheer him up
And so that, I will do

Well, this is certainly a creative response. It does portray Demodocus fairly well.

Well done, as always .
