And I might get into that in a separate thread, because I've been doing a lot outside the PPC.

Thanks!

Oldbie, dipping a foot back into familiar territory... by Herr Wozzeck on 2017-01-29 02:15:00 UTC Reply

That sounded much less pretentious in my head.

Anyway, hey guys. It's your friendly neighborhood musician. I've sort of been a vagrant all around the interwebs for the past few years since I left the PPC a couple years back, but... well, I decided to dip my feet back in, see how you guys were doing. And y'all are doing quite well, actually.

So, uh... hi! I think we need some mood music:

*fistbump* It's great to see you again! How's the Library of the Damned?

*fistbumps back* by HerrWozzeck on 2017-01-29 23:23:00 UTC Reply

Library is going okay. I'm taking a brief sabbatical from there for now 'cause I lost the snark mojo slightly, but I should be back soon enough.

And how art thou?

One's to a confusing MCU fic, and the other's to a cluster... of a Steven Universe fic.

Also, y'know, struggling with the current political situation and my courseload, but what else is new.

I say! You've been gone for *ages*! How are you? :D Seeing you suddenly pop up on Discord was awesome, but I couldn't say hello because I was just glancing in before bed. But it's fantastic to see you back here!

Good to see you around again. ^_^

I have bad news for Cindy, though: Ilraen's fallen for someone else. Can they still be friends?

Anyway, how are you doing? I see you still like discordant piano music. That second piece could stand at least one less key at a time, IMO. *g*

~Neshomeh

They certainly still can! by HerrWozzeck on 2017-01-29 23:22:00 UTC Reply

I mean, I had kinda fallen off the radar there, so you know how it is. Though that does remind me of a tale of a really terrible person I've encountered across the interwebs. That's a story for another day, though...

And LOL, you think that's crazy, I've WRITTEN discordant piano music in the interim! https://youtu.be/GyDyFUCN_1A

Also, as always for returnbies, have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes! :D

Familiar territory, being dipped into by an oldbie... by Larfen J. Stocke, esq on 2017-01-29 08:09:00 UTC Reply

Hello!
Welcome!

Fascinating music, that. As a knowledge-less philistine sort of creature, I've not heard of it or anything like it. Might look more at it.
Also, you mention that you're a musician (also that you're friendly and live in my neighbourhood, but those are besides the point.) What'dyou play, then? Or, er do? Within a musical context?
(You linked piano music. It's bloody piano, isn't it? This is a dopey question, isn't it?)

My gift upon you is: an encyclopedia of birbs and birbkind.
For you to research and find out for yourself what is, objectively, the best birb of them all.

Welcome back! Hope you enjoy your stay and that it's all long and such!

Thanks for the book! by herrwozzeck on 2017-01-29 14:38:00 UTC Reply

As for what I play, I'm actually a violist, though I'm chiefly a composer these days.

And LOL, I have plenty more where that came from. I used to greet newbies with stuff like that.

Oh my... Well, hello returnbie. by Hardric on 2017-01-29 06:22:00 UTC Reply

Please have a bag of black-hole chocolates and a self-updating guidebook of all the deathtraps in the multiverse.

Hope you're back to stay. This madhouse only gets funnier with more people.

IT'S YOU OH MY GOD. *Glomp* *Boop*

I hear you're a Kamen Rider fan, so have a Mass-Produced Sengoku Driver, as well as the Durian Lockseed!

The rumors are true: by Herr Wozzeck on 2017-01-29 02:55:00 UTC Reply

I have become a minor Kamen Rider fan. It's only been through two series, though: so far, I've seen the entirety of Ryuki, and I'm currently at episode 40 of Kuuga. I actually have not seen Gaim (which I know is what the Lockseed refers to), but the only other series I've watched anything of is Kabuto. My reaction to that? "SHUT UP, TENDOU!"

Anyway, thanks!

Kamen Rider by Jesa/Waltz on 2017-01-29 03:11:00 UTC Reply

Gaim is Excellent, as are Fourze, OOO, W, Drive, and Ex-Aid.
Ghost is.... ehh... as is Wizard.

One of my closest friends is huge into Kamen Rider. by Herr Wozzeck on 2017-01-29 03:26:00 UTC Reply

He's actually the one I watched Ryuki with, and he's the one I'm watching Kuuga with now. I strangely hear mixed things about Gaim, and... well, the others I'm only vaguely familiar with. It's usually the early Heisei Kamen Rider I know best: later Heisei Kamen Rider is uncharted territory for me.

Except for Kabuto. Which is pretty crap.

...but recent stuffs made me wonder what was happening with you guys. I'd kept up with Nesh for a brief moment after I'd dropped off, but I think this is the first time I've dropped back into the PPC proper.

Thanks!

The glomping was supposed to be my role, dammit! Or maybe it was my role in one of my other communities I've joined since flying around the net.

Thanks for the SPaGhetti! Don't mind if I do!
