Jingle, jingle, jingle... Audible from the noisiest parts of the Nook and Cranny Inn, to the Hidden Dragon, all the way to the Regalian Almshouse, the familiar jingling of loose regals melodically stirring in grungy wooden bowls echoes across even the most distant reaches of Rose Court. Leading a group of what appeared to be scrappy, poorly dressed children of mostly orphans and neglected children pertaining to the discriminated races of Regalia, a hooded, hunchback hag marches forth across the cobble steps of the neutral zone with the wooden bowl clutched firmly in her hand. Rhythmically chiming in to the singing of the children with the jingles of what few regals were to be found in her bowl, the woman pressed onward, collecting the generous donations of any who would kindly present themselves to reward the agglomeration of harmonious voices. ♫"When the spirit says we are the master race... We bow, Huzzah! Bow, huzzah.. Right to Kade's face! For to not love the spirit is a great dis-grace! So we bow, huzzah! Bow, huzzah... Right to Kade's face! ♫ The children, a diverse group of beggars ranging from the most unfortunate of Kathar to beaten Orcish younglings and disgraced Yanar saplings, complimented their peace-bringing voices with the musical notes of all sorts of instruments, namely Begenan lyres and Hallonqian street drums. ♫When Delmotte says we own the world and space... We bow, huzzah! Bow, huzzah... Right to Delmotte's face! When ser Howlester says-- They will never take this place! We bow, huzzah! Bow, huzzah... Right to the wolf's face! Are we not the chosen ones? By the spirit, chosen ones? Ja, we are the chosen ones- The super-duper chosen ones! Is this Ailor land so good? Would you leave it if you could? Ja, this Ailor land is good! ~We wouldn't leave it if we could~ We bring the World new order, Accept the Spirit's World, a world of new order! Everyone of foreign race... Will receive the Spirit's grace... When we bring to the World new order! ... The collective singing comes to a brief pause, only the gentle harmony of the children's instruments audible for a moment. When the Spirit says we are the master race... We bow, Huzzah! Bow, huzzah... Right to Kade's face! When the Kade says- We shall not be slaves! We bow, Huzzah! Bow, huzzah... But still we work like slaves! While the Kade lies, and rants, and raves! We bow, Huzzah! Bow, huzzah... ~and work right to the grave~ When the Kade says- I need to have more ships! We bow, Huzzah! Bow, huzzah... For him we make more ships! But if one little ship.... were to sink as she made her trip... If one little ship.. should sink with him on as well.. We bow, huzzah.. Bow, huzzah.. ~For wouldn't that be swell?~ ♫ Originally composed by: @rimacutem Forum adaptation by: @Kibaa
Hengest Harhold is quoted in the Imperial Times to have said, "Fucking J****inists." when asked about the marshal cabinet's view on the new hit song of the oldtown commoners.
The Black Wald Dragon was making his way through the area as he typically did, pausing to listen to the children singing. As the haggard woman came around he would go to fiddle through his purse, securing a few regals to share for the orphans. The knight listened to the lyrics as he froze when the end of the song came up. Not having the heart to butcher children for the message shared, he simply turned to walk away as he gathered how to take care of this sentiment.
I think Alexander looks pretty pleased with himself. A Kathar walks down the streets, stopping at seeing the Children. A very pleased grin comes onto his face as he listened to the lyrics of their song. Going to take out some bottles of Ruby Flower and Poppy Milk and offer the medicine out to the oldest/most responsible looking children there for safe keeping. "Keep the Show going. You're all doing great. And use that medicine well, we all need as much we can get in these times." He commented, watching the children until he couldn't see or hear them anymore before walking on off.
Fen’nan lips spread into a rare, approving smile at the sight, offering the children the regals she could spare before moving on with a the same smile, pride filling her.
Mateo would stop, listening to the show, muttering to himself in Danedroquin "They should be paying me for author rights"
Marilyn leaned out of the gaping doorway to the Hidden Dragon as the misfit choir moved through Rose Court. Grinning wildly at the sound of music, she rocketed herself from the brothel-turned-party-house, granted her alms to the poor, and promptly joined the choir best she could with a merry tittering of her lute. When even the best of the singers were all sung out, they found themselves bombarded with freshly baked cookies and bundles of roses. Shortly thereafter, she inclined to share new songs with them.
Loki gave a sharp grin, tapping his feet in time to the music. "I never knew little Mateo could have made such a mark. I'll have to arrange something with the kid." He spoke to thin air before dropping a handful of coins into the hag's bowl. "Wonder if he's getting credit."
Korm offered the kids a few pointers on presentation, positioning and voice projection, gave them a large sum of regals, patted them on the back and applauded them for their work, telling them to "Keep up the good werk, ye glorious little monsters" before chuckling and moving on.
Sylvi watched on from the entrance of the Nook. She cracked a grin to the odd little tune, as well to the sight of Marilyn enjoying herself. Relaying a handful of regals and a direction to the nearest employee to donate to the bowl, she'd mutter."The next generation of bards and minstrels is certainly looking bright."
Awe, thanks guys! Though, as credited on the main post, the original track was composed by @rimacutem . All I did was add a lyric or two and adapt it from the rubbish Common it was written in so that it was more presentable for the forums. For reference, I found the song written in a book which was randomly on the floor and thought it was really cool, so I might as well share it! ALSO, huge props to @MonMarty for that cameo from Alexander!! That was absolutely legendary We luv it!
