Dr Archeville Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Ace was late to the trustee meeting, not in and of itself unusual but the delay in this case had been due to the full vaudevillian routine of 'Puttin' on the Ritz' he and most of Wading Way had been compelled to partake in on his way to the meeting. Fortunately as he arrived the rest of the board was completing an acapella rendition of Pink Floyds 'Money' and the meeting was quickly voted to be postponed. Ace made a couple calls as he headed to talk in person to the commissioner about what might be going on. It seemed this song and dance act was pretty widespread as he mounted the steps of city hall he felt words swell unbidden to his lips once more. He moved to the music swelling within as he continued up the steps bounding back and forth and posing between stanzas as if in a music video and belting out the lyrics, a fast hard hitting sound that he personally didn't really care for even during its height of popularity. ((To the tune of 'The Kids Aren't Alright' by The Offspring)) "When it began the light was so brightThe Whole city was full fireAnd everyone up and down the streetWas terrified my heart skipped a beat The Omegadrone's cracked the skyI said it was too late but he had to tryHow can one foolish manStand against such might Lances fireI can't seeSearing painAgonyTry so HardHard to beA better manWhy not me Rex took a chance, to save that kidDrones flew down fast he did all he couldThe Centurion took his final flightAnd saved us all from eternal night Had it been me I'd try to hideSaw Rex vaporizedSo many lost that dayWhy couldn't it be me Lances fireI can't seeSearing painAgonyTry so HardHard to beA better manWhy not me" He ended the song on his knees before the wide doors of city hall panting heavily. the assembled citizens glanced nervously at him and he quickly brushed himself off and with a grin and tip of his hat headed in to see if there was anything he could do to help with the situation.
