All true, I'll admit, but I think it's cool to have a story behind things. Gorillaz doesn't just have a music video, they've got a story about how their evil dwarf manager was on a floating island. Kavinsky, The Protomen, The Draculas. All with a story to tell.

You want classic rock? Bohemian Rhapsody. One of the greatest rock tales of all time. Styx and Mr. Roboto. Rush and 2112. Jethro Tull and Thick as a Brick.

The power of music is a great force, true, but when you combine it with the power of storytelling? That's magic.

Take your Fenders and Pearls, I begrudge you nothing, but I'm searching for the drum machine of gods.

People of great power have a responsibility to use it, and I'll chase down the best instruments of all time to make the best music of all time. Who's with me?




(Side note, everything mentioned merits a listen, or at least a casual glance on Spotify.)

Oh, we can absolutely go into the attic, and get some instruments and play.

But if we want to rock, really rock, we need some real OOMPH behind it. That's right: consorting with infernal powers.

Strumming on a guitar is well and good, but shredding on an axe forged in the Lower Planes? That's rock.

I'm talking legendary instruments from across the multiverse. The sort you don't just buy, but quest for. What's better, a Casio you found in your closet, or a golden keyboard you had to bet your soul for with an Old God?

Come on, this is a school for kids with powers beyond imagination! So let's get powerful!

We don't need drums when we have the real magic. . . friendship.

Just kidding. I have a sick drum machine. If you've never heard an '80s synth drum track powered psychically, you're in for a treat.

We're going to need some more instruments, though. A drive would be awesome.

Alright, three members down! Let's go! The closest thing the sound of my voice is to is a bag of bricks being dropped down an elevator shaft, so no singing for me. My talents lay more in the electronic realm.

If we can get that snake dude in on backing vocals, we'll be so set. @Serpentes, let's go!

This is, quite possibly, one of the best ideas I've heard since coming here. A psychic high school band? Hell, yeah!

Count me 100% in. I'd be surprised if there haven't been psychic musicians in the past.

Freddie Mercury had to have had some kind of superpower.

I finally got over the wall after half an hour of climbing. However, I fell off the other side, and landed right on my ankle, which promptly snapped. Does anybody know where the infirmary is/how to fix it in general?

I've gotta be honest, Telepathy 101 kind of sounded like a drag. Do I really WANT to be able to read people's thoughts?
I'm taking Beginner Cthonic Physics and Applied Sanguinomancy for my afternoon classes. What're your afternoon classes?

Well, I missed most of my classes today, but I could still make Applied Sanguinomancy in an hour with some help.

The wall started talking about half an hour ago. It said it hungers. I gave it my lunch, but it just spit the bag out.
It seems like it's growing now, so if anyone knows how to get past, this is the time to speak up.

Yeah, so, I still haven't been able to get in, w/r/t the wall. It's pretty solid looking. It's still screaming, but at a lower volume, which is good for my ears.

Beginner Cthonic Physics started already, so it looks like I'm going to be late to my first class.

Good way to start.

Hm.
