[SR - MCRA] Dancing with Myself

[pombe]

Dramatis Personae:

Sea Rats

Ethylene Glycol

Professor of science. A former faculty member at a prominent Corrington university, she was dismissed after failing to have her grants and fellowships renewed as a result of years of failing to publish in peer reviewed scientific journals. Railing against the scientific institution's insistence that data obtained from experiments must be reproducible and come from well controlled rational approaches to testing a model, Professor Glycol has decided to start her own university of higher learning at the Port of Bastion, where she can do science the proper way and publish in her own independent journal with herself as the sole reviewer, unfettered by the rules of the intellectually inferior.

Lucy Liu

Sixth year graduate student with no publications. Bitter and jaded, with hatred for the entirety of existence, Lucy followed her advisor to the Port of Bastion, because no other faculty members would accept her as a student after being already mentored by Professor Glycol. Highly intelligent and talented, she has languished in academic hell for the past six years, trying in vain to get her advisor to adopt the practices of the other science professors.

"Motorboat" Peacock

Third year graduate student with no publications. People assume he is nicknamed after a seafaring vessel that has not been invented yet, but in fact, he is nicknamed after a thing he does with his mouth which is named after a seafaring vessel that has not been invented yet. Very popular with the ladies, he spends more time getting into the beds of women than he does actually doing any science. He followed Professor Glycol to the Port of Bastion to escape his fiancee, who was the one who blinded him after learning of an affair "Motorboat" was having with his undergraduate assistant.

Alois Bieber

First year graduate student with no publications. As a former Olean soldier in the Order of Faith, he was a leader against the principles of science, when he attempted to disrupt a seminar being given by Professor Glycol. Instead, he found himself understanding her talk and becoming interested in the subject. Confused and bewildered, he spent two years soul searching until he was able to accept that he had been wrong his whole life. Alois then sought out Professor Glycol, explained his scientific enlightenment, and became her student.

Somewhere in Kings Port...

%^$%&$$%@$%^$&^*&$*%$@$^@%^#!!!

You know, Lucy...we could probably overtake the guards. Maybe you could persuade them to open the gate?

What? Grr...fine, fine. <sigh>

PSYCHOLOGY!!!

Here goes...Hey, guys~

Look, lady. We totally overheard you guys talking about your plan. And besides, no offense or anything, but you don't exactly do it for us.

Your friend, Alois, over there, however...

AWKWARD!!!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Later...

'Cause you make me feel...

LIKE A PONY!!!

So good...

LIKE A PONY!!!

So good...

LIKE A PONY!!!

So good...

Sweet! I love the mirror ball and the Victrola!

You must have a amazing collection of colours and bricks based on the builds I have seen....lol

That's a very fancy prison cell if it has a disco ball!

[blackdeathgr]

Yeap, both build and story feels "right"

That awesome disco ball, which parts cant figure out where they come from, somehow reminds me of the song "

" from "You Don't Mess With The Zohan" movie or "

"!

[Puvel]

That’s a very fancy prison alright, looks great though!

The gramophone player is especially clever! Not sure they’d already have one though

[gedren_y]

Gaaah! Butchering Billy Idol! You don't even get the song title right.The song is Mony Mony. Dancing with Myself is a completely different song.

It is a romp, though.

And for those who want the correct lyrics for Dancing with Myself:

On the floors of Tokyo

A-down in London town's a go go

A-with the record selection,

And the mirror's reflection,

I'm a dancin' with myself

A-when there's no one else in sight,

A-in crowded lonely night

Well, I wait so long for my love vibration

And I'm dancing with myself

[Chorus]

Oh oh, Dancing with a-myself,

Oh, oh, dancing with myself

Well, there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to prove, well,

Dancing a-with myself

If I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes seem to pass me by

And leave me dancin' with myself.

So let's sink another drink

Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancin' with myself

[Chorus]

Well if I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes seem to pass me by

And leave me dancin' with myself.

So let's sink another drink

Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancin' with myself

Oh oh, Dancing a-with myself,

Oh, oh, dancing with myself

If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh

Oh, oh, oh dancin' with myself.

Oh, oh, dancin' with myself, oh, oh,

Sweat, sweat, sweat . . . .

[TitusV]

Good idea, and the purple works surprisingly well!

[Kolonialbeamter]

Thanks a lot for the 'earworm' (excuse my German)

Great stuff! Although the gramophone is a bit far stretched

Keep it up, Mony Mony!

[Captain Dee]

Lucy!! My my my you have a mouth!!

But a purple jail cell?! With a disco ball?! That's a new one on me! Actually it looks fine in those colors and matches the mood well. Well built, illustrated and written as usual. And I for one think the Victrola is fine even if it's the "wrong" time period.

But no earworm for me... one of the benefits of staying away from pop culture.

Keep it up.
