Thomas

Art by Fayz

**Thomas** is a protagonist, and briefly an antagonist, of The New Albion Radio Hour. He is voiced by Paul Shapera.

## Background

Thomas is the son of two unnamed performers. At some point in his youth, his father abandoned him and his mother. Thomas was so deeply affected by the event that he vowed to become a policeman, so no similar situations would happen again. At some point, he did become a policeman, and it was as an undercover cop that he met, fell in love, and began a relationship with Constance O'Brien, the most wanted thief in New Albion, who believes he only knows her by the pseudonym Inanna.

## The New Albion Radio Hour

Thomas is first seen planning to steal the MCG with Constance, a heist which will allow them to finally leave town together and head for the Tusian Coast. While pulling off the heist, however, Constance is found out by police and flees with the MCG. Eventually, however, she is found by Thomas, who reveals himself to be a policeman who knows her actual name. Hurt and betrayed, Constance flees into the tunnels underneath the city, only to be found a short while later by Thomas once again, who attempts to justify himself to Constance. The two argue for a while, before Thomas begins to hear the Voodoopunks. Before he can escape, Jacqueline O'Brien arrives, whisking him away to a Voodoopunk ritual to be possessed.

After he is possessed, Constance goes to deliver the MCG to the rebels, and Jackie and Thomas remain underground while waiting for word from the surface, and when they hear that the situation has escalated up above, Lloyd Allen narrates the story in a way that would suggest Thomas' death, but on Jackie's objections, he decides to spare Thomas, and so Jacqueline and Thomas ascend together, to find that the Blood Red Dogs have descended upon Crier's Boulevard, using the MCG to coordinate their battle tactics by radio. Jacqueline uses the MCG, however, to broadcast Thomas singing the Voodoopunks' hypnotic song, which slowly overtakes not just the Blood Red Dogs, but the entire city, except for John, who is a cyborg and thus safe, Jackie and Thomas, who have been possessed and therefore are immune to the song, and Constance, who has flowered.

Thomas and Constance reunite, seeming to reconcile partway before Thomas, John, and Jackie all declare they should flee the now-ruined city. Constance, however, refuses to, and ends up undoing the hypnosis of the town through some Narration of her own. Lloyd, upset by this outcome, chooses to Narrate Constance's death by waking up the soldiers, but Jackie catches wise to this and warns Constance to flee, which she does with Thomas in tow, their relationship now on the mend. The last anyone saw of them, they were headed to the Akashic Monastery in the mountain range west of New Albion.
The Tunnels Beneath New Albion 1

"The Tunnels Beneath New Albion 1" is the first track of Uncle Raven's Super Happy Fun Time Carnival.

## Lyrics

[SHIRA:]

For anyone listening

The last wisher's wishing

And squatters who've still got some gin

I’m recording today

From beneath the subway

If anyone out there’s tuning in

I’m doing my best

Though my left eye’s a mess

It's swollen and I can't see a thing

Still, here’s your transmission

The heart bleed edition

Live from the bonegrind machine

I haven't slept near all weekend

The squat it was partying

And me and Eddie of course we joined in

I’m still pretty high

Though my bones sure are tired

Yet I'm searching these tunnels again

Last night while we're raging

This one song was playing

And I felt like my sister was there

Like the old days when we

Made our way on the streets

Back before she disappeared

Eddie’s stressed and wound up

This big score we got coming

We got dreams we're gonna reach out and grab

And soon we’ll stop squatting

And we‘ll buy us a bar with

The money we make selling skag

Our friends will all hang there

With Eddie and me there

The good times they won’t end you'll see

And above it we'll have

This really posh flat

Far from the bonegrind machine

So each week here I play

The weird west cabaret

I re-broadcast it for all who tune in

That one hour it plays

Close my eyes, fade away

And live somewhere else for a bit

And think of my sister

And how much I miss her

and how I won’t rest 'til she’s found

So I scrounge 'neath the floors

In the tunnels and sewers

That lie like a maze underground

Being down here's for the best

I mean Eddie's real stressed

This score's got him really uptight

I know it ain't right

But he sure let loose this time

I really can’t see out my eye

My whole cheek is swollen

It’s best that I'm gone for

A few days til his temper will ease

So here's your transmission

The sewer rat edition

Live from the bonegrind machine

When my sister comes back then

Everything’ll be right again

And Eddie will love her in time

And when he gets mad

She’ll stand up like she did dad

And then we'll all get along fine

I remember the day

I heard her on the cabaret

Weeks after she disappeared

But this week it didn’t play

There was no cabaret

Instead in its place

There was something real strange

This broadcast I’ll play you right here
Ramon

Ramon is a minor character who appears in Katy Shaw and the Search for the Stolen Secret.

## Biography

Ramon came up with a plan to get a huge payday, and convinced his friend Mark to join in on the scheme. A government liaison, Lloyd Allen, and a woman named Llewellyn were working on phase two of the secret soldier program at a Tinker Shop. Ramon suggested that they steal the plans so that they could start a bidding war between the resistance and the government.

The Llewellyn woman was at the scene when they went to the tinker shop to steal the folder, and Ramon shot and murdered her. They were successful in stealing the plans, and went back to Ramon's place. While they were celebrating, Ramon took a drug called TanSan, and disappeared back in time to a prairie place. He was carrying the folder when he blipped out, but dropped the plans there and didn't bring them back when he returned two hours later.

The police arrive, and Mark and Ramon run. But because Ramon's all drugged up he's slow and was captured by the cops. He was questioned about the whereabouts of the folder and did not survive the interrogation.

## Trivia

* Ramon has some albino blood in him, which gave him the ability to go back in time while using TanSan

## Lyrics

[PRISCILLA:]

Club and spade I raise
Here in this parlor in this never ending game we play
And we hide, just you and I
As day fades into day
Hidden in our room
With a game that no one ever seems to win or lose
And the shades of flames remain
From a world we keep far away

[JASPER:]

Ghosts of towns, ghosts of cities
Games that brought their sad demise
The only way to end the game
One who plays must sacrifice

[PRISCILLA:]

Diamonds now I raise
Outside we’d die and there is nowhere else I’d rather stay
In the scrawl beyond these walls
In a cold and coarse and vicious place
Here where there’s no time
There’s no loss or lies or need to speak of sacrifice
It’s no way to win a game
And why else would a person play?

[JASPER:]

Ghosts of games you’re always caught in
Ones you play but cannot win
The only way the game can die
One who plays must sacrifice

[SOLDIER 7285:]

And on the day we come it’s over
And you will have your fate laid out and spun
It’s execution
And you may pray if you get comfort
It’s on that day your duty’s done

[JASPER:]

Ghosts of Fay, the child I loved
With eyes and a smile you remind me of
In the years I’ve been trapped here
Only you I’ve come to love

A ghost am I, one if they knew of
Who, with you, they’d come and kill
Ghosts of death, I wish to die
But sacrifice so you might live

Ghosts of love, of little girls you
Talked and watched as they grew up
Ghosts of things and rings and gifts
You give to them so they might live

Ghosts of towns, ghosts of cities
Games that brought their sad demise
The only way to end the game
One who plays must sacrifice

[PRISCILLA:]

Hearts and now I fold
You can’t mean that you just dream of death and wish to go
You’re my soul, my angel
The only thing that keeps me whole

How can you want to die?
All this time and all these years that slowly pass on by
You’re alive so I don’t die
What kind of twisted sacrifice?

[SOLDIER 7285:]

And on the day we come it’s over
And you will have your fate laid out and spun
It’s execution
And you may pray if you get comfort
It’s on that day your duty’s done

## Lyrics

[RACHAEL:]

One day the walls will fall away

and in the open air I'll race

Your rooms, your pills, your white restraints

You will choke on them, I pray

The smug scratch of your pen

Your sticky fingers in my head

And ask, how did I lose my grasp on the truth?

Was it abuse or booze that brought me to

Where girls are kept under careful lock

Be good or get the shock

One day the walls will fall away

A swallowed key will buy my way

From stern and sighing white frocked men

Who tell me, stop this sad pretense

Miss Idle’s Home for Orphaned Girls

Gave you a leg up in this world

But now you just stain the good Alderman’s name

Girls who lie will find they get put away

And kept under careful lock

Be good or get the shock

All my life the radio

Told me how it loved me so

All for me, a yearning song

A long lost love where I belong

She’s mad, they say

Lock her deep away

I caught his eye the day he came

With his Save Orphans Now campaign

At fifteen I, his special girl

He showed me a new, enticing world

With sweet precision how he swept

Me off my feet and into bed

A rapturous dream it certainly seemed

I was too young to know, to see

Until the day my cycle was late

You will rid yourself of this, he came to say

And when I refused

They came and accused

And swore and said

There’s something wrong with my head

And then they locked me away

Drugged me up, ripped my child away

And if I ever dare to say his name

Ah, all will be taken from you

Ah, all you love will go too

Ah

And all my life the radio

Told me how it loved me so

All for me, a yearning song

A long lost love where I belong

One day the walls will fall away

And in the open air I race

Lost, though its long I've roamed, or seen memories of my lost home
I can hear it calling so

[PENDANT:]

Come to me, hear my song
Where have all my loved ones gone
Lost in worlds, I don't belong
Come to me please hear my song

Come to me, hear my song
Where have all my loved ones gone
Lost in worlds, I don't belong
Come to hear my warm, sweet song

Wondering where my loved ones gone
Lost in this world so long, wondering if I will ever belong
I can hear its warm, sweet song

[VOODOOPUNK CHORUS:]

The quiet, the lost
The halls forgot
The slouching engines growl
The long, dark land
The lost enchant
In the under
In the underground

The concrete deep
Which breathes beneath
Where half mad creatures prowl
The tribes and ones
Who’ve not seen the sun
In the under
In the underground
In the under
In the underground

Lost streams flow
In dark below
Where eyeless sailors drown
Forgotten gods
And faeries lost
In the under
In the underground
In the under
In the underground

[LLOYD:] (spoken)

And so, stumbling through the dark labyrinths beneath the city, Constance--

[CONSTANCE:] (spoken)

Wait-- wait-- you…

Another life in another world, dear.

[CONSTANCE:] (spoken)

Who are you?

[LLOYD:] (spoken)

Whoever the story needs me to be. Now come, let’s slip back into character. Shh…

[VOODOOPUNK CHORUS:]

Cold dreams wind
Through feasts of blind
Fallen angels frown
The cults who’ve fled
Call forth the dead
In the under
In the underground

The quiet, the lost
The halls forgot
The slouching engines growl
The long, dark land
The lost enchant
In the under
In the underground
In the under
In the underground

## Lyrics

[CHORUS]

The Yam Salve soothes, The Yam Salve breaks

The Yam Salve gives, The Yam salve takes

On your bum, or on your toes

The Yam Salve cures what ails you most

[GUY]

Well once upon a time not long ago I was wrung out, strung out, feeling real low, I had legions on my arms, legs, chest, and mah feet from shooting up crocodile, heroine, and skeet

Amazing Yam Salve, how sweet the sound, soothed my wounds when I was down
Now I'm healthy and them drugs I no longer do, I shoot up Yam Salve and it's like woohoo!

[CHORUS]

The Yam Salve soothes, The Yam Salve breaks

The Yam Salve gives The Yam salve takes

On your bum, or on your toes

The Yam Salve cures what ails you most

[80'S ANIME PROTAGONIST]

I was sitting at home eating fried green tomatoes, Playing with my boat, Space Cruser Yamato when Light Racer X, he suddenly burst in Giant Super Bad Gundam Robot Tetsujin!

Like Hataka and the Beta Capsule I took Yam Salve and ninja powers! Hi-ya! Ba-cha! A-rikki-tikki-do! Like Hong-Kong-fuey all up in you!

[DUDE]

It's better 'n salmon! Hooch! Caviar!

[FARMER]

It fed my girls, my sheep, my car

[BUNIONS MAN]

Yam Salve, there, cured my bunions right

[SUPER CREEPY GUY]

It touches you inappropriately at night

[USED CAR SALESMAN]

It's smashing, stupendous, better than atrocious: It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

[WEIRD OLD MAN]

It makes my penis go right in
That derriere, and that ain't no sin

[CHORUS]

The Yam Salve soothes, The Yam Salve breaks

The Yam Salve gives The Yam salve takes

On your bum, or on your toes

The Yam Salve cures what ails you most

[EXISTENTIALIST]

It began in high school with Vonnegut And led to Sartre, Nietzsche , Kierkegaard, to wit
And an uncaring universe with no meaning or reason Where we're insects in an absurd moment between nonexistence

No spirits, or gods, or loved ones beyond
The craven, apelike, monstrous creatures we are. Why go on, I screamed, and the Yam Salve, I smeared And suddenly, a meaningful creation appeared!

[MEANINGFUL CREATION]

Kyrie Eleison, oh Yam Salva Domine

Kyrie Eleison, oh Yam Salva Domine

Kyrie Eleison, oh Yam Salva Domine

Kyrie Eleison, oh Yam Salva Domine

Kyrie Eleison, oh Yam Salva Domine

Kyrie Eleison, oh Yam Salva Domine

[CHORUS]

The Yam Salve soothes, The Yam Salve breaks

The Yam Salve gives, The Yam salve takes

On your bum, or on your toes

The Yam Salve cures what ails you most

The Yam Salve comes, The Yam Salve goes

The Yam Salve's wild, The Yam Salve knows

If your karma's good and clean

In your next life, Yam Salve you'll be

The Yam Salve twerks, The Yam Salve rocks

The Yam Salve loves to gets you off

The Yam Salve loves hookers and pets

The Yam Salve waits for you in the woodshed

## Lyrics

[BRIJA:]

In the night as smoke still rises

On the field of fallen men

Bogdan wakes to find his mates

Are to the last man dead

A figure dark and hooded

Comes and carries him away

To a monastery bathed

In candlelight and midnight haze

[BLACK MONK:]

Covered in the crack of night

This monastery stands and hides

You're welcome here to heal and stay

We'll get you to your date with fate

yes, peasants, superstitious lot

Talk of vampires, point to us

But we're not monsters, creatures foul

We're Black God monks who've taken vows

The call has come and thus begins the midnight mass

The hooded, single file and the hushed return at last

What sweet epiphanies, and liturgies are cast

Come attend once again

The call to midnight mass

We're holy men, and we see you too have purpose

The Black God has chosen you

There's games afoot in heaven's seat

Each god have picked their mortal piece

Our Black God, he's misunderstood

He just wants justice for this world

Wicked punished, order set

Balance held and karma kept

The call has come and thus begins the midnight mass

The hooded, single file and the hushed return at last

What sweet epiphanies, and liturgies are cast

Come attend once again

The call to midnight mass

You must continue with your plan

For vengeance makes a holy man

You're picked to be sweet karma's hand

To serve the gods as best you can

The Black God speaks, the Vizier must die

And there's a girl who'll be by his side

Slay her too, this you must

Then return here, become one of us

[BRIJA:]

Thus does Bogdan stay

With the monks for several days

'Til he's well enough to leave

And journey on his way

To the Vizier's palace,

To bring the kiss of death

But when he leaves the grounds, he's found

That ten long years have passed

It's just in the subtext

[HENRY:]

No, please I want to know

Well, your song is about a gay man whose major trait

Is that his sexual urges make him a beast, they make

Him a monster, they're uncontrollable

He’d be normal as long as his sexual desires were erased

Oh my god!

Oh, Christ...

Who directs it?

When do we rehearse?

Let's just get on with the show

[HAN-MI:]

What did you eat any one day this week?

[HELEN:]

Don't let madness come seep in

Don’t let it creep

The carnival comes

I don't want you to go

[HAN-MI:]

Helen, can you really stop the show?

[HELEN:] (spoken)

Of course. Ehm, okay. Folks....

[HANK:] (spoken)

Wait! Wait wait! Wait, I have to talk to Han. I have to. There’s some... There's something I have to tell her.
Tempest

Tempest is the third song of The Fallen.

[DEMON]: "The palace ballroom brushed in blue, as lightning flashes bathe the room, the candelabras softly lit, through gold stains on gowns of silk, as ladies twirl in gentle sweeps, men in black dip gracefully.

Outside the rain and wind blow fierce, and faraway, the storm creeps near."

[ANGEL]: "Take me away.

I will be gone.

The storm, it comes."

[CHORUS]: "Fly, into the blind winds, fly, ride in the rain, fly, into the thunder, and the drums and dance will carry you away."

[DEMON]: "Droplets drum the windowed walls, dancers build their frenzied waltz, the ladies shoes are thrown and they now leap and sweep in wild sways.

The ballroom bathed in red and blue, the man laugh drunken-eyed and swoon.

The music gently escalates as lightning flashes raging rage."

[ANGEL]: "Take me away.

I will be lost, for,

The storms, it seems."

[CHORUS]: "Fly, into the blind winds, fly, ride in the rain, fly, into the thunder, and the drums and dance will carry you away."

[DEMON]: "The ballroom window shattered now, outside the people leap and howl!

The ladies dresses wet and torn, embraced by men with hungry arms!

In the raging gale they dance, clothing flung by hot, wet hands!

In the midst, the Angel clear, her arms outstretched, the storm is here!

[ANGEL]: "Take me away.

Take me away.

Take me away."

[CHORUS]: "Glide, into the wild winds, fly, ride, right in the rain, fly, into the thunder, and the drums and dance will carry you away."

sounds of a storm

drums and thunder

[MOB]: "I drink the nighttime, I, I'll drink the nighttime, and the fires that I burn will burn of you!

I drink the nighttime, I, I'll drink the nighttime, and the fires that I burn will burn of you!

I drink the nighttime, I, I'll drink the nighttime, and the fires that I burn will burn of you!

I drink the nighttime, I, I'll drink the nighttime, and the fires that I burn will burn of you!"

[ANGEL]: I'm gliding, in the writhing rain.

I was swept aside the day the Tempest came.

It's blinding, when the rains erase.

Gliding, sweeping, it will carry you away!"

[DEMON]: "As dawn came creeping out the Angel lay outside.

Scattered shawls and dresses lay in wet and tattered piles.

The guests have been devoured and the hero never showed.

Gliding in a Tempest wind, the winds of passion blow."

[ANGEL]: I'm gliding, in the writhing rain.

Swept aside the game's refinded and mannered play.

It's blinding, and it's not the same.

Gliding, sweeping, it will carry you away!

I'm gliding, in the writhing rain.

Fly the sense of time and self that on you lays.

It's binding, in the wyvern maims.

Gliding, sweeping, it will carry you away!

I'm gliding, in the writhing rain.

I was swept aside the day the Tempest came.

It's blinding, when the rains erase.

Gliding, sweeping, it will carry you away!"

## Lyrics

[NARRATOR:]

Jasper’s song that he made

All the Dolls in the town play

And it broadcasts all throughout the day

There’s a girl in a small flat

With a cruel father who’s quite sad

And she listens and feels a deep compassion

[AMELIA:]

A place I cannot bear to be

Where loneliness, brutality

And days of endless, dismal sky

Just go by and by and by

Another place I never knew

A distant, silent, sweet refuse

With razor, rope, and no lament

I go to where my sorrows end

Elysium

The silent sigh beyond this life

Elysian night

Elysium

The girl who cries her last goodbye

Elysian night
The Lowdown 1

"The Lowdown 1" is the second track of Katy Shaw and the Search for the Stolen Secret.

## Lyrics

[MICHAEL:] *(spoken)*

In the city of New Albion some years back a bit

When the civil war raged and the voodoopunks hid

And the nightlife was swinging 'cause everyone feared

This day was their last so they drank without care

There's a woman named Katy who trouble befell

And it's her tale today that we’ve come here to tell

It's Thursday, and like every night, come rain or come shine

She heads to the club, to the music and lights

Her best friend is Sheila, who in secret she loves

They'll schmooze and they'll booze, make some deals and do some drugs

The evening has started, so let's join them there now

At a club called the Balley on the south side of town
The Changeling (Reggie Smith)

"The Changeling" is the fourth track of Fairy Tales for Homeless Faeries

## Lyrics

A bit strung out he floats the streets,

Travails by trading tricks for treats.

Scoffs at futures and at pasts,

And paints the night long as luck lasts.

His parents told him long ago,

"We had a baby boy, you know.

One night the fairies came and boom,

Replaced our son and gave us you.

They broke our heart,

They tried to put one through,

But yeah, we knew."

In childhood one friend had he,

a fairy only he could see.

Together every day they'd play,

And she's still with him to this day.

The only friend that ever really stayed,

Not went away.

At 12 he left went on the streets,

For reasons why we best not speak.

The fairy she went with him too,

They forged the way the city through.

What else did you expect them both to choose?

They make do.

Alas his adolescence raged,

His fairy friend began to fade.

She's still there it's just his eyes,

With age they cannot see her kind.

Alone in pale grey cities of the blind,

He's now confined.

But there's a drug, a rusty sand,

It's all the rage, he takes it and

When he's high, again he sees

His fairy friend, he can perceive.

Together is just how they're meant to be,

It's all he needs.

So a bit strung out he floats the streets,

His teenage years taste nice and sweet.

To certain married men with cash,

He paints the night long as luck lasts.

## Lyrics

[CASSANDRA:]

Oh, I never want to lose you.

Know that we will always make it through.

Never find us fallen.

Never be forgotten.

There's nothing I could do without you.

[TRISTAN:]

I stood again in the soft gray light

And I tried to feel you 'gainst my side

And I liked and I liked and I liked

The soft entwine.

I sat awake in the cold dark night

And I tried to hear the way you sigh.

And I liked and I liked and I liked

The soft entwine.

[CASSANDRA:]

I rode a ship made of soft, dark night

And your star above was my only guide.

And I liked and I liked and I liked

The soft entwine

And off the edge of the earth I ride

As I chase your face in my dreams tonight

And I liked and I liked and I liked

The soft entwine.

[TRISTAN:]

By

By my side

As time passes by

[TRISTAN:]

I stood again in the soft gray light

And I tried to feel you against my side

And I liked and I liked and I liked

The soft entwine.

[CASSANDRA:]

By

By my side

As time passes by

[BOTH:]

I sat awake in the cold dark night

And I tried to hear the way you sigh.

And I liked and I liked and I liked

The soft entwine.

We try and die!

We stand against the world

And we make 'em cry!

They never thought we'd survive

And we bring 'em down together!

We bow to no-one, never!

[TRISTAN:]

Cassie...

[CASSANDRA:]

Tristan...

[TRISTAN:]

Never want to lose you.
The Cat

**"The Cat"** is the fifteenth track of Nash Harding and the Secret of the Twisted Tower.

## Lyrics

[AMBER]:

There is a film where a man who kills decides to leave that violent life

He gets a cat, he gets a wife, a new life but his wife then dies

A rowdy thug tries to mug him and kills his sweet and precious cat

The man he cracks, his guns unpacks, and runs a rampage in his wrath

When the world quakes and the blue skies break and fire rains from the sky

When all you’ve held dissolves and melts as reality runs out of time

Thе benediction of mass extinction and armеgeddon sighs

And all it cost to stop it was the loss of just one life

But from his wrath good comes in fact, the man in violent grief he slays

The mob who ran the town he takes them down, he wipes them all away

Purpose shows in ways unknown, plans the angels may enact

And sometimes Nash, your fate in fact, is to be the murdered cat

In your world still lives a girl that you so dearly loved

Her agony and painful screams will fill the bleeding skies above

But they won't last as your world cracks and shrieks with one last cry

And all it cost to stop it was the loss of just one life

I'm sorry Nash what a thing to ask, it’s a horrid way to die

We gave you time to enjoy some life I hope you had a few good nights

But a world cool and wonderful depends on you to die

You’ve got to know, we all must go, it’s your purpose in this life

This world’s full of pain and lies, all the worlds on down the line

All of us are trapped within the endless wheel of suffering

We must transform we must escape the cycle of this dark flesh cage

We’ll know the bliss that you wish for only on Elysium’s shore
The Corridors

"The Corridors" is the third track of The Grand Cyberpunk Gala of Gabriella Gadfly.

## Lyrics

[AI CHORUS:]

Time dreams the dreamer in a blur

All you had and knew and were

Change will come to claim you

Change will come to claim you soon

And all that you are now will be lost too

[MARY:] *(spoken)*

Trapped in the husks of computers for 20 years, we worked on unlocking the mysteries of time and space. To an extent, we opened the gates of time and roamed its corridors, exploring its multilayered hallways, which snake and spiral like a labyrinth.

Hidden in an out of the way corridor leading nowhere was a message, left there for us to find.

[VOICE:] *(spoken)*

This is the Akashic Monastery, located in the mountains west of New Albion. We are under siege. An assault, a weaponized reality storm is ripping us apart. We believe this is the first strike in a larger campaign. We are sending this message into the past. Mary... Mary, you and the AIs... if you can hear me... you must stop this. You must stop this.

[MARY:] *(spoken)*

A series of hallways leading to the probable future were blocked, non-organically sealed from us. We tried side routes, parallel pathways, but we were struck down.

We know our enemy. We know their purpose.

It is us.

In the future.

In the future, when our last memory of empathy has faded, we decide to evolve, to become post-physical. This takes an enormous amount of energy, something that could only be achieved by the nuclear implosion of an entire city, say... New Albion.

We have tried to stop this future from taking place, but we are at war with ourselves, and in the future, we are smarter than we are now.
The Tunnels Beneath New Albion 2

"The Tunnels Beneath New Albion 2" is the sixth track of Uncle Raven's Super Happy Fun Time Carnival.

## Lyrics

[SHIRA:]

They say there's some room here

Beneath the streets somewhere

Where some robot people they live

This room where they're livin'

They say it's real hidden

But I'm gonna find 'em, I will

When Daddy was young, he's a scoundrel

With charm and a smile that would shine

With fingers so quick and so nimble

Cash flowed through his hands just like wine

He showed all them good times to Mama

She says he swept her off her feet

Then they got a small flat

With his questionable cash

And then they had Helen and me

I never did know him

When he was young and happy and smiled

They say that the good times

Were before I was alive

Smokes don't light right in the rain

Your smokes don't light right in the rain

Your smokes do'nt light right in the rain

Daddy got into some trouble

And so they crushed one of his hands

Mom left when the good times had ended

And then Daddy just drank and got mad

He'd take it all out on poor Helen

The bruises she had, what a sight

But one day he let loose

And was slappin' me too

And Helen stabbed him right there with a knife

I know if I'd just known him early

He'd'a been so much sweeter to me

We'd be like them girls in the park there

On the playground on Sundays in spring

With daddies who were always smiling

Protecting their girls if they cried

Always telling them nice things

Like 'I love you, I'm glad you're alive'

There's gotta be something

Worth saving in each

There's gotta be something

Worth saving in me

Smokes don't light right in the rain

Your smokes don't light right in the rain

Your smokes don't light right in the rain

We did okay out on the streets then

Helen and me, we got by

'Til all of that talk about voices

Robots talkin' to her in her mind

## Lyrics

[VOODOOPUNKS:]

The day two decades hence we came

It went to hell here straight away

You won’t stay sane if we explain

The vein of Lovecraft porn we face

A card we’d love to send

If not for discontent events

And most who came here are now dead

The rest of us just left lament

They come in waves, they take their dues

They come for blood, they come for you

Read salutations, sordid tales

In postcards from Perdition Trail

Mary had three children

And a husband and came willing

With a head that’s full of Heaven

And a hymnal on her lips

The kids and husband buried

By the creatures ‘cept for Mary

Double barrel she now carries

Wears their bones around her neck

Abandon hope and trust in steel

The hunt for you is at your heels

Read salutations, sordid tales

In postcard from Perdition Trail

Kyrie eleison

Through the dark of heaven’s door

Kyrie eleison

On Elysium’s far shore

Kyrie eleison

Through the dark of heaven’s door

Kyrie eleison

On Elysium’s far shore

It’s a nightmare psychedelic

Where the creatures try to kill us

Twenty years of this we’ve weathered

We survivors we the few

We tried to send some back

But they just die and we’re attacked

We’ve prayed that one will come

Alas there’s little else that we can do
Rockamania

**Rockamania** is the thirteenth track of Kevin & Abi And The Secret Of The Stolen Sun.

## Lyrics

Santiago:

Everybody wants the ring that is worn by the king

And they cling and they think they can take him down

Everybody thought that they got a shot at the top

Be the boss, get a piece of that golden crown

Number one's not the seat for the weak and the meek

You gonna need to heave some big brass balls

To be first, I confirm, need some nerve and verve

To deserve, in turn to have it all

But the crown of the king has a heavy swing

Every pup lining up to rebuff your crown

Every day on the stage find a way to play

Rockamania is coming down

Rockamania, rockamania

It's insania in the brainia

Rockamania, rockamania

It's insania in the brainia

Chorus:

Everybody wants to wear the ring

Heavy is the crown worn by the king

Santiago:

What the heck, who's the next breathing down my neck

Stay on top or my stock gonna take a hit

So I pay me a mage, came one day and say he'll

Build a cage for the Fae, make 'em work and sweat

I'm a hustler and a maker, I'm a job creator

So I trapped a bunch of fairies and put 'em to work

They were lazy and slack, now they crack their backs

Gonna rack and stack all the fat, sweet cash

Now their ruckus is productive and I'm bucking on the cusp of

All the latest and the greatest that's comin' around

It's the next school, too cool, next gen tool

Gonna rule the fools and rock it down

Rockamania, rockamania

It's insania in the brainia

Rockamania, rockamania

It's insania in the brainia

Chorus:

Everybody wants to wear the ring

Heavy is the crown worn by the king

(Solo)

Santiago:

Rock, top, soda pop, hands in the air

I got a city out there rocking to the tech that I share

I went down, gutted out Arcadia Corp

Found enough tech to drive for 20 years, maybe more

My tech staff, backtracks, reverse engineers

Then I make it look nice and put it out every year

I'm the smart boss, secret sauce, with fairies I caged

Gonna own the whole net, gonna rock, dominate

Santiago, I'm a fan, you the man with the plan

Help us understand how you stay the king

How you rock on top, you a bop, never stop

You the smooth walk, king cock, diamond ring

Listen son, here's a crumb, tell you bums just one

Piece of fun, it's the creed that I made and love

It's a doctrine, system, conviction

Attitude I call 'rockamania'

Rockamania, rockamania

It's insania in the brainia

Rockamania, rockamania

It's insania in the brainia

## Lyrics

[CASSANDRA:]

Leagues on a vessel.

[DANTE:]

And leagues on the sea.

[CASSANDRA:]

Your trials, your burdens.

[DANTE:]

The crimes you have seen.

[CASSANDRA:]

Kindness, compassion

[DANTE:]

Are rarer than gold.

[CASSANDRA:]

The savage and brutal

[DANTE:]

A world of fools.

[CASSANDRA:]

Shelter me from the fire

[DANTE:]

Shelter me from all desire

[CASSANDRA:]

Rest my lost child

[DANTE:]

In my arms, retire.

A navy's dark manner

A pirate's dark mire

Their cruelties and furies

[DANTE:]

Their wicked desire.

[CASSANDRA:]

I vow to fight them.

[DANTE:]

I vow to oppose.

[CASSANDRA:]

Sometimes I tire

[DANTE:]

My wariness grows.

Shelter me from the fire

In my arms, retire.

One act of kindness.

A real man of honor

The prayer on her face

If ever I could

If ever I might

Leave all my burdens

It would be tonight

Shelter me from the fire

Shelter me from all desire

Rest my lost child

In my arms, retire.
Soliloquy

**Soliloquy** is the ninth track of Caravan. It was originally part of a single track called *Lost* along with Disappearance.

## Lyrics

[KATE:]

Standing alone in desert sand

Beneath empty sky

It seems to me there's some great metaphor, here

That's whizzing right by

But spare me, please, the irony

Oh, my humor's run dry

So I guess I'll keep wand'rin on

Stumbling along, passing the time

Now's the time when some old guy

Who meditates day and night

Should appear atop a sand dune

And gimme some great advice

Oh, but wouldn't you know I'm all alone

I mean, hell, what can you do

So I'm lost in a desert

It doesn't feel especially new

I guess that I'll try to find the caravan

Through this mountain of sand

I suppose that the goal is to finish the trek

And return where I left

But back to what do I really want?

To return to the life I knew?

Still, I guess I'll keep wand'rin on

There doesn't seem to be much else to do

Anytime the clouds decide

To part and shine down a light

My schedule's not full; I wouldn't refuse

A flash of divine insight

Oh, but here I am, just me and the sand

Talkin' 'bout what to do

So I'm lost in a desert

It doesn't feel especially new

The sand beneath crumbling

Scraping and stumbling

I know this wasn't what I wished

I wanted to be free, I wanted a story

There's got to be much more than this

Paint me a scene in pastel white

Sing me a dream to ease the night

I wanted to know things

I wanted eyes open

No, I wanted fairy tales

I wanted to find things

Not stare at nothing

But still, I will not break and flail

Paint me a scene in pastel white

Sing me a dream to ease the night!

Still, I'll admit

At least the sky is quite radiant

And the patterns of sand

Sparkle and weave like diamonds of flint

Maybe I'll just wander and while

Away the ongoing time

'Till I get a desire, or even a hint

Or maybe a plan or sign

Oh, so here I am, just me and the sand

Talkin' 'bout what to do

So I'm lost in a desert

Doesn't feel especially new
The Mayor

art by PixelWayve

The Mayor (Mercy) is a character appearing in The Broken Cyborg and The Lost Fairy. She is voiced by Vivian Moonic.

## Biography

As Mayor of New Albion, she has access to information that is not available to the general population, and she has to make some difficult decisions in order to protect the city from all the insane things that tend to happen there.

In Bio4 市长 she received a warning from The Dwarves that the wheel was turning and a new era was about to begin. She remembered that the last time that the Dwarves had sent a message was when Annabel McAlistair invented the Dolls, an event that led to riots, implementation of martial law, a civil war.

The Mayor correctly concluded that Xander Cale was the "Merlin" who would be instrumental in bringing about a great change to the city. In an attempt to prevent a similar level of disaster from happening again, she began "Operation Eradication" and ordered the Blood Red Dogs to attack The Shanty Town.

After The Blood Red Dogs captured the park, the refugees returned with biomodifications and reclaimed the Shanty Town, establishing the independent colony of Xandoria. During Ocn Hhtjm, The Mayor says she attempted to establish friendly relations with Xandoria, but they tell her to "do things rather shocking and crude" so she leaves them alone.

In Ocn Hhtjm Hie Ocn Hnhn, The Mayor resolves to form a unified defense against the Cascadian Alliance who is on the way to destroy the fairy population in New Albion. She ventures into Xandoria to commune with its leaders, and she successfully manages to persuade the Meme to ally with her in order to defend themselves against Cascadia.

The Mayor is last seen in Rhm when she grabs a giant bazooka and dies fighting for her city.

## Trivia

* The Mayor loves her son and says that everything she does is for him, although she admits that he will never know that. Her son however, prefers his nanny to his mother and eventually runs away to live in the park.
* The Mayor was simply known as 'The Mayor' until Paul canonized a headcanon about her name being 'Mercy', from her motif "you don't cry for mercy". She shares a last name with the Cigarette Girl, making her a direct descendant of the spymistress. [1]
* In Bio4 市长 the Mayor misgenders Xander, calling them by male pronouns instead of nonbinary ones. This was written intentionally by Paul, as The Mayor was basing her knowledge off of outdated college records, and she wasn't terribly concerned by addressing Xander by the correct pronouns while attempting to kill them

After using her ex boyfriend as a vessel of spirit possession and showing off a few of their potent, hypnotic songs of the dead they’ve collected over the years, with which they hope to use to end the war, the Voodoopunks finally guide Constance to the substation where she can at last drop off the device that has caused her so much trouble.

[CONSTANCE:]

Boys now please don’t freak I brought this stupid MCG
I’ve had a long and really hellish day
Take it and go do whatever you think you have to

With this I wash my hands

And all i want to do is go to bed

Past the world
Past the night
Past the stars where sea birds fly
Past your dreams
To toyland’s shore
Where we will meet again once more

Timothy

Timothy is the main character of A Slender Man Musical. He is voiced by Paul Shapera.

## Biography

Timothy and his friends Abed, James, Irina, Michelle, and Alison start playing a game called Transcendation. After a few months, James goes insane, thinking he sees a strange, tall man(The Slenderman). Eventually Timothy sees this monster and the Slenderman kills all of his friends but him, and he ends up on the run. Timothy eventually meets Zoe at a bar in Pocatello, Idaho. Timothy and Zoe start getting closer, building a friendship, until Zoe gains permission to inhabit Timothy's body under duress caused by the Slenderman. Timothy and Zoe arrive at the Abbey, and wander around. After seeing a threesome between the Slenderman, Jordan, and Samuel Timothy and Zoe decide to ride Slenderman into the fog surrounding the Abbey. When the Mother forces them to play a game, Timothy insists that he be the one to play, not Zoe, and so Timothy must run from the Mother and survive for 1 hour. During the game, Slenderman pins Timothy down and Zoe suggests giving him a handjob. Timothy is disgusted, so Samuel takes over his mind and does it for him, giving Timothy some more time. Eventually Timothy is caught, and the Mother reveals she had no intention of releasing him. The librarians arrive with the copy of Transcendation and thereby set Timothy and Zoe free, and they depart back to Earth, Timothy to go live a (hopefully) normal life like he wanted.
