CALLING ALL DIAMONDS.

[intotherough.livejournal.com]

Ahem.

So I mentioned this in passing to Drea in her post about the talent show, and brought it up with Song, but this amazing idea Ben I might have requires group participation for it to work. And so I come to you.

Backstory: way back when, before Ben joined the Grampian Police Force, met Victor Fox, and did any questionably moral things that got him chased out of Aberdeen and straight to Diamond Castle, Ben was reading history at Aberdeen University, and when he wasn't studying, flirting with the ladies, and getting wasted? He was the lead singer in a Queen cover band.

Stop me if you know where this is going.

So yes. Ben is going to try to organize an All-Diamond rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and he will ask people in game, of course, but I wanted to post to see how many (if any) people would be interested, because if there are only a couple of us...

Well, he'll probably sing "Somebody to Love" all by himself. And he'll be sad. Sophie will have to console him.

I take it this means Mel can be counted on to sing in the chorus.

[onlytolerable.livejournal.com]

Let me see here. Sophie has a choice: sing with Ben or console Ben.

Oh, yes, such a hard decision for her.

(Though, he'll probably give her The Stare and convince her it's somehow doable. Maybe she can wear Groucho Marx mustache. In fact, the entire group should wear those.)

It will be fun, Sophie lass. He swears it.

If it weren't two in the morning, I'd probably be forced to type in dialect.

Good luck convincing Isaac, Ben. Not exactly one for the stage. Also, he's just had his nose broken. XD

[starscrownher.livejournal.com]

We will address Isaac and his future career as Brian May in a moment...

But first, Urania wants to say: Excuse me?

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

In all fairness, Isaac started it.

Nose splints are groovy, right?

[starscrownher.livejournal.com]

Totally sexy, I'm sure. XD

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

Urania's taste will perhaps be called into question.

On topic again: I'm so looking forwards to the Diamond bonanza. But I highly doubt anyone will be able to convince Isaac to join the choir. I'm sorry, Ben.

[intotherough.livejournal.com]

So far, Sophie's the only one likely to be convinced. It's noooot looking good for Bohemian Rhapsody :|

Oh well. Dramatic rock opera will happen, regardless; it just might not be that one.

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

Avery might join in, right? And you could shovel in some NPCs.

Pulling rank tends to work on Isaac but that's just cruel. And Ben can't quite do that.

[intotherough.livejournal.com]

Ben does sort of lack that ability, unfortunately. XD

I might do that. Haven't quite decided yet, but either way: fun times will be had, involving one of the Threes in leather pants.

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

I read "pants" in the British sense first and... well. That's one way to make an entrance, Ben.

[notyetrough.livejournal.com]

He says that would chafe.

Terribly.

Beth will be in on helping with costumes. Singing? Not so much. She's still hiding herself.

However, Lindsey demands to be involved, although is disappointed that he doesn't get to dress as a housewife

[intotherough.livejournal.com]

Ben would be thrilled if the king would perform. In whichever costume he so desires, XD

[softestdiamond.livejournal.com]

Do you have black leather mini skirts?

[intotherough.livejournal.com]

I am certain they can be located.

I'm also sure that if Ben pulls this off, Rachel will never, ever build him his golf course.

[softestdiamond.livejournal.com]

Mwah ha ha ha

Wonderful

[thediamondqueen.livejournal.com]

Do you really want to risk that, Ben? Do you?

GO FOR IT!

[diemwnt.livejournal.com]

You can't make Cadogan do this.



Literally.

[intotherough.livejournal.com]

And you have no idea how sad that makes Ben.

But he can make Cadogan WATCH.

[diemwnt.livejournal.com]

The look of bemusement will be so great. SO great.

...although, if Ben wants to convince Cadogan to do something, and if Cadogan somehow is allowed to know her, he could 'sing' with Dara.

[intotherough.livejournal.com]

...That would be adorable. Somehow that needs to happen.

[diemwnt.livejournal.com]

If the NPC bb-girl is game.

Then Cadogan is game.

I... imagine hand-wavey knowing of each other may be in order. But. That seems reasonable enough.

They could technically sing along, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjln9OMOw-0) but I think their own thing would be more adorable. :|

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

I think Dara could be convinced.

I imagine that if she's under Urania's kooky wing, she likely trails her to Diamond Castle on occasion? Seems to make sense? (http://www.hollow-art.com/files/bases/Jodelle_Ferland_009.jpg)

[lowtohigh.livejournal.com]

...ohmygodhertinyface.
Cadogan's heart will be slain if she smiles at him.

Makes sense to me.

[diemwnt.livejournal.com]

They're singing Rocky Road to Dublin. And it's official.

And you can't stop me. :|

[starscrownher.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't dream of it. :|

The next step to teaching the next generation to be peaceful and get along with each other. It's Urania's great plot.

Rachel will not, under any circumstances, participate in this, sadly.

But Lorraine (who is becoming louder and louder in my head, damn her, she may actually become a person) will. :P

[uncutclarity.livejournal.com]

Excellent. XD Ben likely wasn't expecting anyone in the face cards to participate (either Rachel or Sade? Are you joking. XD)

[thediamondqueen.livejournal.com]

Yeaaaaah the face cards are kinda No Just No Never in that regard. At least Rachel and Säde are, and Rachel argues that they're the most important ones. :P
