HAPPY'S PROFILE

Chapter X: Rock Off Against the Void

You are a journeyman, a Disciple of Sound and you have been tasked to solve a series of mysterious disappearances of Sound in the Realms of Melodies by the Regal Musicians Network.

In the previous chapter you were called in aid by the network, your task being to complete the ninth symphony of the network's late composer. The symphony is now complete and the concert series arranged for it was a big success! Everything's well!

Until suddenly, the scenery before you starts to twist and distort. Everything around you starts to dismantle into particles of prismatic light. What is this!? Is this the notorious curse of the ninth symphony!?

Your sight now completely consists of strange light, glowing in different colors. Abstract shapes and forms construct and dismantle everywhere around you. It's dark, it's light and then you discern outlines of something akin to a humanoid, forming in front of you. A voice in your thoughts speaks to you "I am void and now you shall become a part of me."

You automatically reach out for the holster of your instrument, but your hand trembles and the instrument falls to the ground, sending out a couple of disjointed notes. You can't help, but to notice that as a result of this the outlines of the humanoid form falter slightly.

You pick up your instrument and begin summoning the Sounds.

"You have composed your ninth symphony already, Summoner! You have created enough! This is your final destination!" The voice inside your head yells.

You continue playing your instrument valiantly, harnessing your imagination to repel the powers of the void. The form in front of you starts lashing out into different shapes.

"No! You cannot defy me! Come forth my minions! Lady Excusas! Deadly cyborg: Procrastinator Mk. 3!"

The rock off against the void has begun!

Composer: You pull out your big guns. You begin summoning the sounds fitting for battle!

The raffle is here! To pick the names I used an RM VX Ace game that picks a random number between 1 and 16 four times and makes sure there aren't duplicate entries:



And the winners are...



Congratulations to the winners!


... and because everyone wants a copy of Stardew Valley... We have to do some more raffling!



Craze and Illy are entitled to copies of Stardew Valley, while Eden Star goes to TungerManU and Star Crawlers to Dragonsprit99.

Whether you want to swap the prizes with each other, or want the game you won, let me know.

Thanks to everyone for participating! See you around in the coming music events! And of course if you want you can still give the composers comments and feedback in the Summoner of Sounds event page. It will be much appreciated!

Fiiine. We did have one scheduled for March but it kinda got neglected. Basically a resource tournament where there were brackets for making the best of x type resource.

Though a general thematic one would be neat too - four weeks, four themes, any resource type. Badges for the best of each week.

That sounds good! I hope it wouldn't override with other music event, though. D:

I noticed a lot of people commenting that some entries for the first chapter didn't sound light-hearted. Then I noticed I had wrote here that the challenge was to compose a piece of light-hearted video game music.

To be more accurate: the challenge of the first chapter was to compose music for a light-hearted video game setting.

By the way, can anyone tell me why jasprealo's "Dance of Devananda" as well as both of Matt_'s submissions were denied? They all sounded really good to me, and it's kind of a shame they don't appear in these lists.

They were good submissions, but they were old works that were just dumped on the event.


It seems the people eligible for the raffle are:

Zeebree , Pianotm, Cashmerecat, OddRabbit, Kloe, Bicfarmer, TungerManU, Illy, NeverSilent, Craze, Kylaila, Merlandese, Blobofgoo, Ratty524, Dragonsprit99, and Aquatorrent

The raffle will be held very soon and the winners will be announced here. The last chapter of Summoner of Sounds will be starting later today as well!

Thanks to everyone for participating!
