[ruinedempire]

hey i have something from home. i want to know what everyone thinks! it's one of my favorites

[There's a couple of seconds where nothing is heard. But suddenly, without warning, a rather distinctive song begins to play:

yes it's the gold saucer music

And no, it's not stopping. Not for a good ten minutes or so. Probably best to just cut the feed two minutes in... or sit and listen. Maybe there's a prize at the end for listening to a 10 minute loop.

There is not.

And yes, a certain someone just acquired a Birdbox from the shop and decided to put it to good use. You know, sharing culture from your home world and all that good stuff. He might also be trying to see if anyone recognizes the music, just to take note who else is from Gaia.]

[force_a_change]

[She listened to the whole thing, because why not? It's a kind of weirdly catchy tune.]

It's a unique and catchy tune, I must say.

[ruinedempire]

it really gets in your head, doesn't it? really well known, the main theme from a placed called the gold saucer

if you enjoy amusement parks, you'd like it

un: archangel

[impiety]

That is certainly a song that goes on for awhile.

[ruinedempire]

[Rufus looks at that username for a moment. Well, this could be fun.]

like it? i can play the song again for you! it's no trouble really

[Without waiting for a response, Rufus clicks back on the audio recorder he used for this.]

text; UN: Persephone

[ragingnature]

[ She lets it play for a little bit, at first it's kind of cheerful and not so bad but then it starts to grate on her. ]

Cheerful.

text;

[ruinedempire]

cheerful, stays in your head. that's when you know you got a winner, right?

how would you rate it out of 10? be honest now

un: flowergirl

[vetrarosa]

[ WHO'S KYLEGATE

but also because she can be chaotic: ]

Hmmmm. It could do with more 'oomph'. Cymbals, maybe.

text;

[ruinedempire]

['Flowergirl,' huh? Well, just to be sure...]

you think so? but this song has been the gold saucer's theme for years!

[ It's just a recording of the audio mirrored back.

He deserves it after the suffering she's gone through. ]

text;

[ruinedempire]

[Oh, his own tactic used against him. He almost has to give this 'valentine' props.]

saved a recording for yourself? glad you liked it that much! share it with all your friends now

[suspecteverything]

Based on that you're either a sixteen year old boy who loves video games or a toddler. Although my toddlers' music usually involves some kind of rhyming sing song lyrics to go with that repetitious tune.

[And that's pretty much the only reason he didn't totally lose his mind.]

text;

[ruinedempire]

[Rufus arches an eyebrow at the response. A rather strong reaction there.]

hey man don't knock the music! this is just the sort of thing you hear at the gold saucer, the best amusement park in all of gaia!

un: cloudywolf

[liveandforgive]

[ Before Cloud answers, he stares at the name and says to himself, "Who the hell is...?" ]

There's a callback...

text;

[ruinedempire]

[oh hi cloud]

oh do you recognize it? i didn't know there were people here from gaia other than myself! but it sounds like you're a big fan, went to gold saucer with your family??

text + audio; username: inaban

[dereban]

Sounds like amusement park music.

I guess if you're sharing a favorite from back home, then I should return the favor!

[And in fact, she does have this song play out in response. Yes - for the entirety of how long the video is.]

text;

[ruinedempire]

[he just got outplayed, hasn't he? rufus lets the music play out for a couple of minutes, before he silences the audio. and turns it back on in five minutes-- okay nope. he'll try again in ten.

thus, his response is a bit delayed.]

not bad

[whether he's referencing the music itself or the fact that someone responded with an even more irritating song... it can be read either way.]

text; un: sephiroth

[supersoldier]

[“Kylegate”?]

This is unnecessary.

[He’s tons of fun. But also this music is classically grating to the ears.]

[Speaking of usernames, Reno just cannot help himself.]

Let me guess, they didn't let you graffiti the walls when you were a kid?

[His username should have been un: captainobvious.]

un: qihsae

[instaqueue]

Ah, the Gold Saucer! Do you have one in your world, too?

I can't count how many Cactpot tickets I've bought there. Still haven't won though...

text;

[ruinedempire]

[The response draws Rufus' curiosity. The username is entirely unrecognizable to him, but more than that, they mentioned the Gold Saucer possibly existing on another planet. He's definitely interested now, enough for the former president to temper his dialogue.]

I didn't know that the Gold Saucer existed outside of Gaia. That is what you're implying, right? Where are you from?

« text » un: foxlike

[foxtouched]

[ She actually listens to the whole thing. ]

How charming. It sounds like a happy tune.

text;

[ruinedempire]

considering it's the theme music for the gold saucer, the best amusement park in all of gaia, it better be happy! people come from all around to participate and bet in the chocobo races

text; un: shitbirdseverywhere

[hotshock]

[And this is why Reno never visits the gold saucer, this right here, this endless carnival nightmare.]

You've gone and forsaken us.

text;

[ruinedempire]

[Rufus squints at that username for a bit, but he brushes it off.]

Whatever do you mean?? This music is classic! It's from a widely renown place back from where I'm from!

text; un: percival

[vassalize]

As if this land isn't filled with enough obtrusive music!
What is the meaning of this?

text;

[ruinedempire]

I just wanted to share something really neat from my world. I've seen other people talk about their traditions, so I thought, why not! Have a tune that's from the most exciting place back on Gaia!

You're welcome!

text; un: xiaoxingchen

[mingyues]

Oh!
That is rather catchy.

[ruinedempire]

Would you like an extended version? I can probably leave the audio going for another thirty minutes, just for you.

Play it whenever someone's in a poor mood. I'm sure it will brighten up their day. A lot of people are definitely enjoying the music, judging from the responses here!

text | un: jasminum

[diplous]

Is this a cry for help?

( her ears are ringing. she’s fairly convinced that whoever kylegate is isn’t okay, or is sick enough in the head to put people through the auditory torture. she’s giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. )

text;

[ruinedempire]

huh?? why would i need help?? this music is upbeat and joyous, not depressing.

see if i played something like that for a long time, then i can see why you'd ask that

Video | UN: StarLord

[spacedisaster]

[ Peter let it on for 6 minutes before giving up. ]

That...sure is something. Not really my style but it's catchy. Where did you even find this?

text;

[ruinedempire]

[If it isn't Mr. Guardian of the Galaxy himself. He almost feels bad for putting him through this, but almost isn't enough to get Rufus to stop.]

i got a bird box that plays music from my world! lucky, huh?

and this tune in particular is from an amusement park called the gold saucer, the best place in the entire world! how could i not share it with everyone

Text - UN: pumpaction

[angelshot]

dude what
are you a carnie or something? that's like... straight up clownfucker music.

[ At least play the best version, you heathen. ]

text;

[ruinedempire]

[Rufus stares at the text for a good few seconds, wondering if he should even respond. Well, why not.]

what-- no, no to everything! this is the sacred theme of the gold saucer, it's not some 'clownfucker' music!

text ; [un:slumwatch]

[detao]

i know that song!

( The fact is, this person appears to have come from Gaia - is it enemy or foe, Tseng isn't sure yet, hence the intentional anon-ish response. )

comes from all sorts of radios down in the slums!

text;

[ruinedempire]

[Slumwatch?? A vague name, someone that's hiding their identity for one reason or another. Rufus finds himself intrigued nonetheless.]

you're from the midgar slums? man, that must be shit! guess you'd never been to the gold saucer then.

text ; [un:usernamehere]

[omkara]

That sounds like clown music.




It's awful.

text;

[ruinedempire]

i promise that it's not!!

and what a sad comment. have you never gone to amusement parks before? because this is THE theme for one. just makes you wanna bet all your money on the rides and games there!
