Omei

13/04/2010  6:44:13 AM  E  Patrick  So what're you up to today?
13/04/2010  6:45:32 AM  Patrick  E  Nothing much. It's been a strange day. Woke up feeling like I was dreaming. Feel like I'm just waking up now.
13/04/2010  6:45:41 AM  Patrick  E  The last few hours have felt like some kind of drug trip.
13/04/2010  6:45:45 AM  E  Patrick  Those days are always interesting.
13/04/2010  6:45:58 AM  E  Patrick  I'm pretty sure that's how Orak always feels.
13/04/2010  6:47:10 AM  Patrick  E  Is he actually on drugs, though?
13/04/2010  6:47:24 AM  E  Patrick  ...not ALL the time.
13/04/2010  6:47:29 AM  Patrick  E  Oh. This should make you happy. Next Celani call. I'm gonna apply. Whether I get up or not is a separate issue.
13/04/2010  6:47:35 AM  Patrick  E  But I will apply.
13/04/2010  6:47:35 AM  E  Patrick  Oh please
13/04/2010  6:47:40 AM  E  Patrick  like you won't go up
13/04/2010  6:47:54 AM  Patrick  E  Galleus is kind of irritated with me, I think. And Iosyne...
13/04/2010  6:48:01 AM  Patrick  E  I was mean to Iosyne.
13/04/2010  6:48:30 AM  E  Patrick  afaict Iosyne is a silly bint, and if G doesn't take you then he's a worse businessman than anyone knew.
13/04/2010  6:48:55 AM  Patrick  E  Still. If Iosyne says nay, that's all Galleus needs to slam the door in my face.
13/04/2010  6:49:24 AM  E  Patrick  Well, we can hope that he's got some modicum of logic left in him
13/04/2010  6:49:35 AM  E  Patrick  In any case, that does make me happy.
13/04/2010  6:49:40 AM  E  Patrick  Because fuck yeah Obs magic
13/04/2010  6:50:35 AM  Patrick  E  So hey. I have this idea for Omei's return.
13/04/2010  6:50:46 AM  Patrick  E  She bursts out of the clouds, surrounded by moths and a hunting party of shadows, playing an eight-stringed violin.
13/04/2010  6:50:52 AM  Patrick  E  And charges through the forests.
13/04/2010  6:50:57 AM  Patrick  E  Leaving a trail of dead animals in her wake.
13/04/2010  6:51:12 AM  E  Patrick  That's a pretty grand entrance.
13/04/2010  6:51:23 AM  Patrick  E  Yeah. The idea's stuck in my head.
13/04/2010  6:51:33 AM  E  Patrick  You should listen to some of the Crooked Fiddle Band
13/04/2010  6:51:48 AM  E  Patrick  Because that flavour of Psychogypsy just popped into my head
13/04/2010  6:52:26 AM  E  Patrick  not least because I imagine her playing incredibly hard
13/04/2010  6:52:33 AM  E  Patrick  and my god, the Crooked Fiddle play hard.
13/04/2010  6:52:37 AM  Patrick  E  She'd be playing -all eight strings at once-, Eleanor
13/04/2010  6:52:42 AM  E  Patrick  «I nods.
13/04/2010  6:52:48 AM  E  Patrick  When I saw the crooked fiddle live
13/04/2010  6:52:53 AM  E  Patrick  the bass player snapped a string
13/04/2010  6:53:05 AM  E  Patrick  and each member of the band had a holster with a couple of extra bows
13/04/2010  6:53:27 AM  E  Patrick  about half the hair was hanging off the end of the violinist's bow by the end of their hardest song
13/04/2010  6:54:11 AM  Patrick  E  Nice.
13/04/2010  6:54:15 AM  Patrick  E  Lemme check 'em out
13/04/2010  6:54:40 AM  Patrick  E  Omei's probably a mix of modern, folk, and tribal. All at the same time. Dissonance? Very yes.
13/04/2010  6:54:52 AM  E  Patrick  Yep, you're describing Crooked Fiddle
13/04/2010  6:55:01 AM  Patrick  E  Listening to them now.
13/04/2010  6:55:22 AM  Patrick  E  ... I am ten seconds in and they are my new soundtrack for Omei
13/04/2010  6:55:31 AM  E  Patrick  ^^^
13/04/2010  6:55:47 AM  E  Patrick  I wish you could have been there to see the crooked fiddle live.
13/04/2010  6:56:19 AM  Patrick  E  This band makes me happy.
13/04/2010  6:56:24 AM  Patrick  E  :)
13/04/2010  6:56:33 AM  E  Patrick  You might also like the Counterfeit Gypsies
13/04/2010  6:56:38 AM  Patrick  E  And the violinist is both hot and talented.
13/04/2010  6:56:40 AM  E  Patrick  but they might be hard to nail down in terms of music.
13/04/2010  6:56:45 AM  E  Patrick  «I NODS
13/04/2010  7:03:09 AM  E  Patrick  But Omei would rock hardcore if she was psychogypsy themed
13/04/2010  7:03:20 AM  E  Patrick  make her a dark-haired gypsy woman
13/04/2010  7:03:30 AM  E  Patrick  Like Mirela but Godly.
13/04/2010  7:03:31 AM  Patrick  E  She's already got black hair.
13/04/2010  7:03:34 AM  E  Patrick  Curly hair though
13/04/2010  7:03:35 AM  Patrick  E  And violet skin.
13/04/2010  7:03:37 AM  E  Patrick  and curves like whoa
13/04/2010  7:03:42 AM  Patrick  E  And she is curvaceous.
13/04/2010  7:03:53 AM  Patrick  E  And she's not afraid of being affectionate with mortals.
13/04/2010  7:04:12 AM  E  Patrick  You should make her like Chak should have been, except more interested in hedonism than corruption.
13/04/2010  7:04:57 AM  E  Patrick  All Dream and Passion and opium and wine
13/04/2010  7:05:01 AM  Patrick  E  Omei's all about living in the present, so yeah. Hedonism. You get the urge, follow through on that shit.
13/04/2010  7:05:15 AM  Patrick  E  Impulsiveness FTW.
13/04/2010  7:05:22 AM  Patrick  E  Thinking ahead is for losers and conservatives
13/04/2010  7:05:27 AM  E  Patrick  «I nods.
13/04/2010  7:05:35 AM  E  Patrick  Also, see Leonard Cohen for more flavour
13/04/2010  7:05:51 AM  Patrick  E  Also, I'm thinking not -quite- as vindictively cruel. Less grimdark blood.
13/04/2010  7:06:05 AM  E  Patrick  Leonard Cohen's songs summarised: Sex, suicide, wine, war, sex, dancing, women.
13/04/2010  7:06:32 AM  Patrick  E  Omei's more of this Goddess that drowns herself in constant experiences to avoid thinking about her pain.
13/04/2010  7:06:40 AM  E  Patrick  «I nods.
13/04/2010  7:06:53 AM  E  Patrick  There's different ways to present that, though.
13/04/2010  7:07:05 AM  E  Patrick  I mean, one reason for doing that would be insecurity
13/04/2010  7:07:10 AM  E  Patrick  but another would be strength
13/04/2010  7:07:23 AM  Patrick  E  She is insecure, actually. That's why she's so dependent on mortals. For adoration, for essence.
13/04/2010  7:07:34 AM  Patrick  E  They validate her because her family won't.
13/04/2010  7:07:37 AM  E  Patrick  «I nods.
13/04/2010  7:07:43 AM  E  Patrick  That just makes her more earthy.
13/04/2010  7:07:51 AM  E  Patrick  "Stuff those other godly types, I like you mortals better."
13/04/2010  7:07:55 AM  E  Patrick  "Have some opium."
13/04/2010  7:08:13 AM  Patrick  E  Not so much. 'Cuz she still wants to set herself apart. And I want to portray her as something undeniably alien and inconceivable.
13/04/2010  7:08:32 AM  Patrick  E  She is still essentially a cosmic horror of sorts.
13/04/2010  7:09:41 AM  E  Patrick  I think perhaps I'm just in love with the idea of a wild gypsy goddess.
