    "So you want to be a bard, eh?" Professor Jabberwock asks you, obviously knowing you want to be. He's a muscular, well-built human man in his late 40's, and he's a well-known musician and entertainer as well as educator. He's everything you've ever wanted to be. "Well, I guess I COULD pull some strings to get you into Fochlucan... It's not like it's Ollamh or anything, but it's a start. What was your name again?"

    (First poster decides on a name, unless the first poster sucks.)

    "Wobberjack is my name," you reply. "Coincidental, isn't it?"
    "Mmyes, m'boy," Professor Jabberwock responds. "Alright, I can get you into Fochlucan, but you've got to tell me... What spells do you know? And what instrument do you wish to learn to play?"

    As a first level Bard, you have the physical ability of a 5th level Fighter, a 5th level Thief, and a first level Druid. You're able to learn one Druidic spell; Choose form this list:

    Animal Friendship
    Detect Magic
    Detect Snares + Pits
    Entangle
    Faerie Fire
    Invisibility to Animals
    Locate Animals
    Pass Without Trace
    Predict Weather
    Purify Water
    Shillelagh
    Speak With Animals

    Your hitpoints are resting at 45 maximum. You've worked hard to get here.

    (Next post decides first spell, post after that decides instrument of choice.

    "That's quite good, Wobberjack, m'boy. Now that you've got your instrument of choice, it's time for you to get going! Go on!" As he says "Go on," a portal opens behind you and he pushes you through.

    You're falling for what seems like hours, but is actually only seconds. The feeling makes you pass out.
    You wake up outside of a gate. On it is the title of the college you'll be attending.
    The gate is open.
    You'll note that in your pockets, there's 10 gold pieces, which is more than enough for you to get by for a little while.
    As you walk up the path, you see many aspiring musicians and entertainers playing various instruments and talking and dancing, and juggling.

    There's the building right in front of you, dorms, too. There are also people all around you. This looks like it could be fun.

    "Oh, you're the newbie Jabberwock sent, huh?" The lady behind the desk stares you down. "Hmph. A triangle player. I guess you'll be staying in the percussion house, then... Oh, what's that? You don't know where that is? Well, there's the percussion house, the wind house, and the strings house. Percussion is between the two, so you can't mix it up. As for classes, we're very general here. You'll be in Percussion class. Oh, and you've got a roomate... Here's your key." She hands you a key. It has the number 32 on it. "Go check with the chart over there to see your roomate's name."

    You look down the list...

    Room 32, Percussion House:
    Bennigan
    Handheld Piano player
    Skills: Purify Water

    You head off to your room. When you get in, you see a man playing what looks like a keytar. It must be Bennigan.
    The room is pretty shabby, just two single beds and two nightstands, with a personal bathroom and one small TV. Like a hotel room.

    "You the newbie?" He stops playing for a moment and looks at you.

    "I'll be bringing a few women over tonight. You can look, but no touching. Also, that means you're sleeping on the floor or in the tub."
    He goes back to playing his handheld piano.

    You wonder what he means by "tonight." It's already dark outside, it must be pretty late... And class starts at ten in the morning.

    You take the triangle off of your neck and hold it up.
    "Listen, dude, if you're gonna be an ass, at least back it up with some skill."
    He gleams at you. "So you want to cross swords, huh?" He stands up. He's about half a foot taller than you.
    "I'm the top of the Percussion class. Let's see what you can do."
    He plays some intense riff on his handheld piano. (See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zufnxiK4Lxs)

    You're feeling pretty tired, so you sleep in the tub after putting the triangle back around your neck.
    You fall asleep...

    In the morning, you wake up. Judging by the Sun's position, it's not ten yet. You get out of the tub and walk into the main room.
    There's your roomate, with two naked half-elf chicks with him. Goddamnit.
    You move down to your class...

    It's a pretty chill class. You learn a little bit about rythm that you didn't know before.
    When you leave the class and go outside, though, you see Bennigan with the two half-elf chicks. One of them is holding a lute, the other is holding an accordion.
    The one with the accordion speaks first. "My name's Lisa. She's Lima. We're twins. I hear you're a mean Triangle player. Bennigan here's a bashful fuck, and cocky, but we're putting together a Newe Age group and need someone with talent like yours."

    Your roomate starts playing a nice, calming piano riff.
    Lima starts in with some lute riffs. It's starting to sound pretty legitimate already.
    Lisa starts rocking out some long, powerful accordion chords.
    Your triangle vibrates... It appears to be reacting to the other instruments.
    A series of at least 20 different floating blue triangles appears in front of you, each tuned to a different note.
    The instrument is a light show by itself; You make an epic series of tings and pings which beautifully compliment the lute and support the accordion while rivaling the piano, creating a harmonious yet clashing sound the likes of which have never been seen before.

    A crowd gathers, watching the incredible show. Clearly, they've never seen this instrument before...
    Oh, shit. You'd better play extra good for these guys.

    The pressure proves too much and your roomate goes out of key... Almost too well placed to be an accident.
    The failure of harmony makes the floating blue triangles start to disappear.

    I tone down the complexity of my part for a moment to compose myself and try to regain a handle on the flow of the music before ramping it back up.
    Furthermore, recalling that the music itself is only one piece of a compelling performance, I attempt to compensate for the musical hiccup by stepping up the visual component of the show, using the unique nature of the psi triangle to its full advantage to dazzle the crowd.

    Suddenly, everyone's back on track again. The excitement of the moment pings up... You notice you haven't removed the triangle from your body yet. You take it off.

    All around you, hundreds of floating blue triangles appear; And consequently, small yellow ones appear, too, representing sharps and flats.
    You put on an incredible performance, bringing tears to all of those around you.

    "Holy shit, dude," Lisa exclaims, "You kick ass. All we need now is a vocalist... You go find one."
    Hundreds of people are gathered around you.

    The piano screwed up, but you single-handedly play the piano part AND triangle part on the floating blue triangles until he comes back in.
    Ollie comes in shortly after.
    Oh? What's this? She seems to be using magic.
    Ollie uses her spell, Speak With Animals, to enhance her vocal abilities to the point where she personally sounds like a full alto and soprano cast, beautifully hitting every sequence of notes fitting to this tune.

    Flowers spring forth to life, people are screaming with "WOO"s and "YEAH"s, and a giant triangle appears behind the entire band just as the song comes to a close. You chime it, and a burst shoots out across the land. All of the buildings look brand new, all of the greenery looks wonderful again, and everyone bursts into tears of joy.
    Also, somewhere, a baby is born.

    Lima looks at you and Ollie. "Holy shit. That was awesome...!" Ollie looks to you, "What's your name...? What's the name of the group?"

    Got it! Captcha makes for great inspiration sometimes...

    I turn to Ollie with a dazzling smile, still high on the rush of the big finale.
    "I'm Wobberjack. As for the group...well, personally I think 'The Brilliant Resistance' would be a good name, but I guess it would only be fair to decide that as a group, right?"
    I turn to the others for feedback.

    Ollie smiles and the others give you the thumbs up.
    Lima and Lisa point to opposite halves of the crowd.
    The both scream in unison, "WE ARE THE BRILLIANT RESISTANCE!" to which a reverberating cheer flows throughout the whole campus.
    Bennigan glares at you.

    I think towards Bennigan (to no effect, except to make me feel better) "Guess who's in the tub tonight?".

    Out loud I say "Hey Ollie, what instrument do you play? You've got amazing vocals, but the three houses are wind, strings, and percussion. I'm new here, but none of those imply singing"

    I turn to them with a look of sincere satisfaction, masking my annoyance at Bennigan for his poorly-concealed sabotage.
    "Well...that was really something, huh?
    But come to think of it, it's getting kind of late in the day. How about grabbing some lunch?"
    The offer is subtly directed more toward Ollie, but I make sure not to completely exclude Bennigan. No sense in making unnecessary enemies, right?

    Bennigan looks pissed off and storms off. It's actually gotten to be night time now.
    Ollie looks to you.
    "O-oh... Well, I, uh... I play the sitar, but I don't usually carry it w-with me..." She blushes.

    I shoot Ollie a reassuring smile. "Well, with the way you sing you've obviously got some real musical talent. I'd really like to hear you play sometime."

    Bennigan has stormed off, and you have now asked Ollie to lunch/dinner/whatever, since it's almost night time/is night time now.
    She agrees and points out the cafeteria. Food costs 10 silver pieces. Assuming you're treating, you'll be spending 20 silver pieces for the two of you.
    That would put your money at 9 Gold and 80 Silver.

    You take her to lunch. The two of you are eating, and you mention >>13439131 this. She says next time you guys play, she'll play for you.
    Outside of the building, you see Lisa point at you, specifically, and motion for you to come out.

    You're top of the class. It's my second day. Which one of us is supposed to be the role model? I don't want your spot, I don't want your girls, I don't want to fight you.

    "Seriously, man? You try to screw everything up and then you're so butthurt that you have to go find someone to try and back you?" You looks at him, pissed off.
    "I've already outplayed you twice today. If you were a real man, you'd recognize that you aren't as good as me and you'd try and better yourself."
    You look at the professor.
    "Sorry to disappoint you, sir, but I've got a ladyfriend in there who happens to have a killer voice, and I'd rather spend time getting to know my bandmates than wasting it by going against this asshole over and over again."

    Seems to me the problem with this band is that there are all harmonic, rather than melodic instruments. I think we can ditch Brennigan, and find ourselves some melodic instrument (Trumpet, Sax, Flute).

    Once you get to her room, she points out the bed. It's a queen sized bed. This must be a luxury room. Fitting for a teacher's daughter.
    You can see her instruments lined up;
    Sitar, mandolin, violin, guitar, harp, and some things you don't really recognize.
    "I'm not really any good at anything but the sitar..."
    You sit down on the bed. Whoah. Waterbed.

    You smile at her. "Alright, then. But first, could I play you a little something?"
    She says it's "o-okay..."
    You pull out your triangle.
    Strange, it seems the more time you spend with your triangle, the more powerful it gets.
    The other instruments in the room move slightly as suddenly the room bursts into a starlike flurry of blue and yellow triangles. Consequently, the lights burn out from the power and the triangles are the only thing that light the room.
    You find that your mind controls the triangles, and that you can control the movement of all of the triangles in a spinning motion, moving them along so that you can play any note you wish.
    As you play your song, you hear the unplayed instruments around you reacting to the triangle, playing very softly along with the melody you're composing.
    As you cease playing, a single yellow triangle floats to the small lantern beside the bed, and lights it once more as the triangles fade.
    You now realize that she had been clinging softly to your arm while you played. And she still is.
