Subject: Oh, also! This isn't the first time someone thought of a PPC symphony orchestra!

Ladies, gentlemen, and goodbeings, I give you: Selections from "The Mary Sue" performed by the Caffeine Overload Symphony and the All-HQ Choir, conducted by Agent Handel!
It's a shame so little survives from 2006-2007. I'm sure there was a thread with people discussing what instruments their agents would play and stuff like that, too—not necessarily related to the Filk Game; not necessarily even in the same year. I wouldn't be surprised if it's happened multiple times!
As for my agents, Derik is the only one who'd think seriously about getting involved. He's competent on a variety of stringed instruments, and he has a collection that he's acquired from missions:
Derik's Abused Instrument Shelter
- Violin, formerly owned by Janessa from "Never Let Go"
- Spanish guitar, as 1.
- Very old guitar, formerly owned by Bronwyn from "The Empty Vessel." May have the ability to turn into a sword.
- Elvish lute, formerly owned by Celeborn and loaned to Bronwyn.
- Elvish harp, formerly owned by Celeborn and loaned to Bronwyn. (Unless it's the one formerly owned by Haldir.)
- Maybe a reed flute, formerly owned by Bronwyn.
- Flute, formerly owned by Erika de l'Opera from "The Phantomess of the Opera and the Half-Blood Prince."
- Recorder, as 7.
- Violin, as 7. (Definitely not infested with wrackspurts!)
"The Empty Vessel" hasn't been written 'cause it was meant to be a co-write and my co-writer isn't around anymore, but I'm counting it anyway. Derik is very fond of that Elvish harp! ... He probably isn't very good with a modern flute, though ("What are all these fussy little flappy bits?"), so if anybody wants it, he'll loan it to them. You'd best not put a scratch on it, though...
