Sorry about the delay, still struggling though I'm a lot farther. I think I need to do some research for some grubby details. In the meantime ---
Here's a portrait of Glycerin that will make more sense if you're caught up with the story. I think I'll be releasing the next chapter tomorrow if I can keep at my current speed.

Chapter 15 (“Heavy Metal”) Part Zero
Okay, here it comes - chapter 15, I'm having to split it into several parts because of the forum software limitations.
Here's a visualization of their concert opener for amusement while I split out the chapter and post it. (I rather enjoy watching Blar and Tsika chase each other around on stage - 4:20+)

= = = = = = Author's Notes (Spoilers) This chapter gave me the fits. It is still fairly awkward in design and I may modify the minor mechanics of being in a rock festival later. Spoiler for Author's notes, includes spoiler talk.:
When I rewrite this, I'm going to split it across two chapters and cover the first day and the last day of the festival - expanding on the first day jitters and the rush from giving a large scale performance. Then put the surprise announcement in the last day of the festival. For now, I'm going to jump ahead to just after the festival and move on.

And one of their other covers on a different night of the festival. Tsika on driving bass line ....
Back to writing. Oh, here's the original creators of the music at the Glastonbury Festival in 2004 ... EDIT: --- or it would be except that the suits have decided the US can't see it.

I was going to put a couple of videos from the charity benefit the band performs at but didn't like the results so far. So, here's a video or two of some "all ages night" one-night gigs they did around town at the same time period. Special note of Glycerin's new themed slacks ...

Next chapter is delayed until Wednesday or Thursday
Real life interventions. Plus I'm just having some challenges connecting story events in an interesting way. All that stuff between "we killed the troll" and "we charged the dragon" can be harder to write than the milestone events. edit: holy shit .... 15 yr old guitar player Desire Bassett. Burns a guitar up and cute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgIisshU7m4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcn0iuYXzfg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4QsW7MgMkc

A small dump of a number of videos of performances at country fairs. I found making these quite amusing as I pulled the characters out of their normal molds.
Mississippi Queen She's Country Sin Wagon Any Man of Mine Life is a Highway (Rascal Flatts version ... I prefer the Tom Cochrane original but apparently he wasn't country enough for Disney (Cars)) Footloose Personal Jesus Basically, the first half of each performance was southernrock/rockabilly/country and then the band would shift into their normal stuff as soon as they thought they'd met the minimum of the contract. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ edit: this bit of steampunk cosplay made me think of Glycerin ...

In the murky swamps of chapter 19, tripped across this recent live performance by Orianthi on a Los Angeles news station, incredibly square news personalities somewhat over their heads are cringe-worthy.

Almost done with the next chapter, but got derailed a moment by this:
Jack Black, Lita Ford, Ozzie Osbourne and others doing the voice work for a metal fantasy RPG called Brütal Legend. Originally out in 2009 for xbox360, PS3, and now Steam-PC as of tomorrow. On sale for $14.99 right now on Steam (which isn't a bad price even for a mediocre game, averaged 85% or 8.5/10 on most review sites). Buying it just for the Jack Black comedy and the voice work. http://www.ea.com/brutal-legend

Chapter 19 (“77345_018”)
Chapter 19 (“77345_018”) (version 0.9)
Author note: fairly complicated chapter covering quite a few plot threads. Not a lot "happens" but a lot "happens" if you catch my drift.

Chapter 20 (“It's Only Rock and Roll, But I Like It”) (version 0.9)
================================================== ================== These videos give some idea of what was played ... plus, Glyc dances her heart out in the first one. Robotics (kind of happy go lucky piece?) 73455 (almost symphonic, several movements with grand finish) Encore tunes with Tsika at lead vocals, a tune by Evanescence and her Angels&Demons tune:

I haven't done this in a while, here's a series of collages of the women of the band. The previous post has the latest chapter (chapter 21) where Blar encounters the redhead pictured below.
Glycerin (Glycca Ping Wendham, Glyc, Mouse, Little Dancer) Kpau (Kpau Angela Williams, Chicklet, Stupid Blonde, Goblin #1) Tsika (Tsarina Tsarinkov, Pixie, Queen of Darkness, Little Vampire, Goblin #2) Sashiko (Sashiko Moira Ross, Sashi, Goblin #3)

The latest story chapter is two posts up. Some videos to give an idea of Sashiko's look, attitude, and growl. Metal and punk is her domain.
