dramatispersonae

Create a tune as a group and submit a short description of it, such as "a slow and mournful song in a minor key" or "a dangerous-sounding melody that makes you want to dance a tango."

[looks over at Pecan]

Can we make a kazoo tune?

We totally can! But there are two of us. Do you want two kazoos or a kazoo and another instrument. Like a kazoo concerto.

Two kazoos!

[why]

Kazoos?

Pecan knows how to play a kazoo.

So I'm noticing. But we need more instruments for a tune, don't we?

Do we?

Yeah. Why don't we each get a different one?

What instruments should we get?

Okay!

A KAZOO TUNE PLAYED BY THE ENTIRE TEAM.

As you offer up the tune, a small fish appears in the water right outside your bubble. As it swims away, you instinctively know that it is the music you created.

Pick one of the melodies provided to you as a group and describe what sort of song it's for, e.g. "a tragic ballad of forbidden love" or "a duet between two reunited sisters."

La la la ♬ energetic! Whooshing! Wigglewiggle. Swells and speed! And climax! Snap! Catching and eating! ♫ Spin, spin . . . but not eating sailors. Kissing, and the music is soft!
An tune that begins a bit slow but quickly turns into an intense and dramatic tune to tango to.
A tune whose energetic nature represents an idiot, going on an adventure into the deep sea, represented by a deep base line below the energetic melody, with a looming threat to it, like the parts underwater where lights don't reach, making your heart race with the idea of sea pressure and deepsea creatures, things in the darkness that don't look like anything 'real' and want to eat you.
A slow, mournful beginning that steadily intensifies to become a frantic and flashy beat, a heart-pounding and dizzying rhythm that peaks, then spirals in a bright, glorious crash to finally trail off to a slow, mournful end.
Flowing but energetic waves to dance in, ones that could make a heart pop. Not in a scary way of course, but perhaps just like a bubble coming up from the water— or a bubble gum bubble to be shared with everyone!
A rocking tune that can inspire anything to achieve great feats of heroism no matter the circumstances!!!
Heavy metal with killer guitar solos and fast, heavy beats.
The song is cheerful and rather folky.
A heavy-metal song with a fantasy epic sound that demands your attention to its presence.
This song is cheerful and victorious, a melding of a number of different instruments. At first it seems like they are all playing their own thing, but as the music swells to a crescendo, it becomes obvious they are melding together into a single even more grand composition.
A bright and dramatic melody with a great deal of movement and energy. There's a lot of room for impressive flair, but at the same time, the beat is steady. Although it starts abruptly, getting your heart racing, it segues briefly into a rolling, cute and sweet and almost dreamy section, before finishing with a flourish.
It's an excited, happy tune starts out slow and hesitant, but builds in excitement.

[Ooooh! So much music!]

Wow. That's a lot. It's so hard to choose.

[points to "A rocking tune that can inspire anything to achieve great feats of heroism no matter the circumstances!!!"]

That one is great for us.

Yeah, it does!

That's a song to win games to.

Right!

Is that good for our answer?

"A rocking tune that can inspire anything to achieve great feats of heroism no matter the circumstances!!!" is a song for Citrine to win games to.

As you describe the song, the fish that represents the tune you chose grows in size, then gains fins and colors and spines.

Pick one of the songs offered to you as a group and create a short lyric for it--no less than two and no more than six lines.

In the water outside your bubble swims a varied group of fish. You know they each represent a song described by the other teams.

A tune whose energetic nature represents an idiot, going on an adventure into the deep sea, represented by a deep base line below the energetic melody, with a looming threat to it, like the parts underwater where lights don't reach, making your heart race with the idea of sea pressure and deepsea creatures, things in the darkness that don't look like anything 'real' and want to eat you.
⇒ It represents an idiot going on an adventure into the deep sea. There are looming threats in the darkness.
⇒ A ballad about a reckless, yet beloved hero that wanders around seeking thrills and helping people.

This song is cheerful and victorious, a melding of a number of different instruments. At first it seems like they are all playing their own thing, but as the music swells to a crescendo, it becomes obvious they are melding together into a single even more grand composition.
⇒ It's about a group of different people who get to know each other and eventually become good friends.
⇒ A team-up that's shaky at first, but as everyone works through their issues and learns more about each other and face trials side-by-side, everything comes together in the end.
⇒ A song fit for a story, wherein all the instruments represent different people, working together towards a common goal, where it ends in an ultimate free-for-all battle and ultimately becoming victorious.

A rocking tune that can inspire anything to achieve great feats of heroism no matter the circumstances!!
⇒ It's for someone that has a life that's always horrible. Nothing ever goes right. Finding comfort in the fact that you can find a way to overcome things even if it may not be in the way that you're expecting. Things might suck but it's possible for them to get better. An adventure that has a good end, even if it's completely horrible along the way.

It's an excited, happy tune starts out slow and hesitant, but builds in excitement.
⇒ This describes the blossoming of a friendship, or perhaps falling in love: though hesitant at first, the time spent together becomes a song that lifts the heart and inspires deeds one alone would not have thought possible, that gives a warmth so powerful that it may ease a chill even heart-deep.
⇒ It sounds like meeting someone new for the first time and realizing you really like spending time with them! ♥

A bright and dramatic melody with a great deal of movement and energy. There's a lot of room for impressive flair, but at the same time, the beat is steady. Although it starts abruptly, getting your heart racing, it segues briefly into a rolling, cute and sweet and almost dreamy section, before finishing with a flourish.
⇒ This is about a battle between two people who were friends once. They became rivals over their differing beliefs on how to accomplish a goal they both desired. The fight turns into something softer once they are both exhausted and they come to the realization that they both have the same dream, and swells to a flourish when they work out their differences and agree to help each other accomplish their mutual goal. ... And then they kissed.

A slow, mournful beginning that steadily intensifies to become a frantic and flashy beat, a heart-pounding and dizzying rhythm that peaks, then spirals in a bright, glorious crash to finally trail off to a slow, mournful end.
⇒ It's... it's the cycle of a single living thing. A celebration of life as the focus! ♫

La la la ♬ energetic! Whooshing! Wigglewiggle. Swells and speed! And climax! Snap! Catching and eating! ♫ Spin, spin . . . but not eating sailors. Kissing, and the music is soft!
⇒ It's for two lovers reuniting after a long time apart. Cuddly makeouts are involved?

An tune that begins a bit slow but quickly turns into an intense and dramatic tune to tango to.
⇒ It's a song for a pair of lovers. They started out on the outs because they kept saying the wrong thing, miscommunicating, yeah? But then it turned into sort of a game, sparring between them. They're a very passionate couple.

[points to "It's an excited, happy tune starts out slow and hesitant, but builds in excitement."]

I like this one.

[...then everyone took a nap.]

[But I can do this!]

"It sounds like meeting someone new for the first time and realizing you really like spending time with them..."

[thinking...]

[then clears her throat]

Hello, you are new,
And you smile lots,
And I think I like you,
So lets go to fun spots!

But wait you need a shoe,
So your feet don't get...dots.

[YES. THAT'S IT.]

[I'M AWESOME.]

Hello, you are new,
And you smile lots,
And I think I like you,
So lets go to fun spots!

But wait you need a shoe,
So your feet don't get...dots.

The bubble gently collapses, depositing you back in the Ring.
