Confronting a weeping guitar

*blows the dust of the blog, wrinkles his nose and sneezes*
Wooh…that’s been a while… does this thing still work? *taps the blogging machine*
hm…seems so…

Hello there, it has been a while *waves a spiderweb away* okay, it has been a long time…
So, seeing this blog is about Conan again… let’s look at the post below here

Lot’s of things has happened in the mean time, some of which even I couldn’t predict:
First off, my ‘main’ Ganchin is collecting a lot of dust, it’s not that I don’t want to play him…it’s just that I can’t find the right mood to RP him, eg. He’s a well aged mercenary(late 30s) which alone makes him the opposite of me, counting in age that is. So he’s a real challenge to play, one that I’m not willing to pick up for some reason.
Second off, the slave I discussed below has had a huge twist. He was supposed to infiltrate in a guild called “The House of the Rose”, a guild which has fallen due to various reasons. And atop of that his Master went MIA for a few weeks, so seeing I’ve never heard of him in a big month I decided to take my alt and alter it for myself.
Dragevio Vicinti is now a free, young warrior hailing from the western part of Aqualonia, Schondara. He has traveled to the Pearl of the West, Old Tarantia, on an assignment for the military, during his leave he met a few folks from the Ordo Templari, which he joined after coming back from a campaign near the Nemedian borders. A campaign he doesn’t talk about and no one asks him about.
He has a strong sense of justice and wrong doing, and he bites into something that get’s to him like a bulldog in his favorite squishytoy.
One such thing is currently happening to him and is RPed and written out.

Lastly we have Raue, she is like Ganchin gathering dust, but for different reasons. She is part of a somewhat close knit family(as slave) and one of the members playing a preggy woman hasn’t been playing due to RL reasons, so for that reason she is gathering dust(her character is really subdued and is not/will not leave the house without permission, which makes interaction with others rather limited)

Now for the music!
This time I have gathered two styles of music most won’t hear in the same room in a lifetime, but I’m stubborn and I like all music so there!

First off, a song which most of you probably will know, if not, go shame yourself!
It’s the Beatles – While My Guitar Gently Weeps

The second song is from Otep, a band most of you won’t know, and definately don’t want to know. So if you don’t like metal/protest songs I recommend skipping to the special down below.
The song is called Confrontation and is(from what I gather) a protest song against the Government and war:

This weeks special is roasted Peking duck with a slight sauce of cinna…..wait, wrong text! *looks around shifty eyed* Who writes these things anyways?
*cough* right, this weeks special is a new band I discovered through the Templari, their called Abney Park and classify themselves as a Steampunk band.
Their music range all over the place, from Persian tinted to ye olde Pirate songs all fitted in a Rock jacket with a helmet of the Victorian ages, the song I have picked out from them is “Dark and twisty road”
(don’t mind the video, it was the best quality sound I could find. DO mind! the graphics are violent and might be inappropriate!)

Something heavy in my hand

LOOOONG overdue blog, this time I am even cheeky writing it on my work(seriously you could kill a deaf person with the silence here!)

So recently there been some things that changes, nothing much so I will rant on a bit and then reward you lot with some music, fair enough?

Ok, so first off is the game Age of Conan(AoC); this is a game with a lot of startup problems back when it started.
however, a lot of these have been fixed and it is now getting a quite pleasant game with lots of fun things to discover(hey, I am an explorer/RPer, what can I say?) and the server of Hyrkania on the European site is a great RP server to be on!

Last week we had a cool event with a slaveauction, in which a friend of mine, Jodoc(aka Raz) played the Foreman selling and praising the slaves to the massive amount of buyers that turned up. I was a slave(last minute entry) and was quite rebellious. Nevertheless he got sold to what seemed to be a rather nice Master….god I was wrong… turns out he was cruel, and not jsut a bit. The whole town must have heard Dragevio’s cry of pain. More happened, but my Master does not want that to be said, so I keep my mouth shut 😉 (and that goes for you as well Raz!)
On another note, my other slave Raue is now serving that same Jodoc and his misstress Finola in their villa in which had some bumps due to Jodoc loosing his temper more often then not, but all seems well now in this house, the news is quite big that calmed him down. Alas, it is not up to me to just shout that news, all the honour goes to either Finola or Jodoc to shout out 🙂

On Ganchin’s(my main) side of things, all has been very quiet with him as I didn’t really gave him much premium quality playing time as of late. His story however, can be read here.

Now for the promised music;

This week I discovered Everlast, a nice type of hiphop/country/alternative rock kinda vibe to it.
Their first song I will showcase is ‘Stone in my Hand’, a rather cool protest song, so enjoy

Stone in my Hand – Everlast

The second song is also an Everlast, ‘Folsom Prison Blues’.
A nice tune about a prisoner with a rather familiar background tone. The tone is from Cypress Hill(forgot the exact song, should be wellknown enough)

Folsom Prison Blues – Everlast
