drazzi's :D
Notes~ Song meme! Pick a character, stick your playlist on random, then write a snip for the next ten songs that play. Only allowed to write for the duration of the song, tho. Once the song finishes, you stop :D
I... cheated a bit. I skipped a couple of schizophrenic songs (you can't write to end-credits songs, I've realised. They encompass every feeling in a movie into 6 minutes of song. Doesn't work so well for writing a character in said 6 minutes) and also Like a Virgin from the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack. Cos it really doesn't get much more ooc than that for Nimay. I swear I didn't rig what ones actually did come up, tho. I have a lot of soundtracks on my playlist.
Comments in italics, cos some really need them >>

Are we the waiting ~ Green Day
First song, very meh, didn't really know what I was doing.
Nimay watched the moon hover in the sky over the gorge of the Ra-Lin as she rode alongside the river. This was always the most enjoyable part of the mission. Before everything started, before it all crashed down on her. The journey through Raykin, up the length of the lazy Ra-Lin, was peaceful and calming.
Bad Boyfriend ~ Garbage
Stupidly ooc but I tried. Still not really sure what I was doing
Nimay sat one hand on her hip, eyebrows cocked, then extended her other and made a “come here” gesture with her fingers.
War folded his arms. ‘C’mon babe, you know I can’t do that.’
Nimay rolled her eyebrows. He thought he was so good with blades, he could fight her with them.
‘What ever happened to a hot date at the pub?’
The swordie laughed and shook her head. She closed the few steps between them smoothly, maintaining eye contact, then promptly slapped him on the rear and dashed off.
Bent ~ Matchbox 20
I'd like to do this one properly, actually, maybe even put it in the fic. Obviously not in this form, tho XD
Nimay fell quietly into the king’s arms. She had never imagined things would get this bad between her and Nol, and he hadn’t even found out exactly what she was hiding yet.
‘Do you want to stop?’ Mithé asked her gently.
Nimay shook her head, not removing her arms from his thick middle. That wouldn’t fix anything, she already knew that.
‘What if I talked to him?’
Another shake of her head. That wouldn’t work, either. Nothing would. The damage had already been done. Nolryn knew enough that he refused to trust her again. All she had come to Mithé for was a hug. She’d lost a friendship that, no matter what she or anyone else did, she couldn’t get back.
‘He’ll come around in time,’ the king promised her. ‘You’ll see.’
The moment of truth ~ GuildWars Soundtrack
First of the schizophrenic tracks. Started out sounding like sneaking through a dark forest, then treking over impressive mountains looking impressive, then being chased by a million rabid bears... all in about 2 minutes.
Nimay pulled her cloak over her shoulders as the wind needled at the back of her neck. The campfire hardly seemed enough to ward off the chill in the Kazinian air.
‘Ambush!’ Kurae hissed suddenly.
Nimay didn’t waste a second. She snatched her sword from its sheath and spun around, eyes scanning the trees as she did so. Shapes did indeed move beyond them, and an arrow flew past her from one of the Own’s bows. A guttural cry sounded from the trees, and the battle was on.
Sunday Morning ~ Fourplay
Instrumentals are awesome. I swear I didn't rig that aspect of this meme.
The General yawned widely and stretched her arms over her head. The sun peeked in through the window, dull and grey in the early morning. Nimay couldn’t remember the last time she had slept in past sunrise. Probably after the last mission.
She stared out her nearest window and yawned again. The milky dawn sky brightened almost as she watched it. A cool breeze blew in, ruffling the clothes she had dumped on her desk the previous night and the bath robe hanging by her door. Should she get up now?
She looked over at her door for a moment, yawned, then closed her eyes and rolled back over. Waking up could wait.
Davy Jones ~ PotC: Dead Man’s Chest Soundtrack
Awesome track, stupidly schizophrenic and impossible to write to. So I didn't.
Nimay stretched as she crawled out from her tent, listening to the eerie sound of insects and rustling rainforest around her. Her eyes and ears were forever piqued in this place.
Then suddenly, for no reason, pirates. They swung from vines and surrounded the small camp, shouting and waving crude machetes in the air.
‘Well this is just ridiculous,’ Nol told her. ‘I’m going back to bed.’
(YOU try listening to that track and not suddenly thinking PIRATES when the giant organ starts.)
I like to move it ~ Madagascar Soundtrack
Look it's War again!
The lights flashed green and red all through the dance club as bodies jumped and writhed against each other, all shouting the same rhythmic words almost loud enough to drown out the soundtrack behind them.
‘So?’ War shouted right in Nimay’s ear. She could still barely hear him. ‘What do you think?’
Nimay shrugged and displayed her hands helplessly, then pointed at her ears with a confused expression on her face.
The Force’s face scrunched as though he was laughing, though she couldn’t hear that, either. ‘You’ll get used to it!’ he shouted in her ear again, ‘Then you’ll be addicted!’
In Dreams ~ LotR: Fellowship of the Ring Soundtrack
Yay! A long and consistent track!
Nimay took a deep breath as she slid off Ashburn’s back. She held a hand against the mare’s shoulder for a time, looking at her dark fingers against the black hair of her horse, but not seeing either. A weight had been lifted from her shoulders after crossing the border back into Raykin an hour ago, but she still felt lost.
A hand fell on her shoulder, and she turned to give Nolryn a grateful hug.
The General had fallen well over a month ago, and since then, Nimay had done her best to keep the Own together, get them first to Silrona, and finally back across the border. In all that time, she hadn’t been allowed any time to grieve. She had refused to think of that battle, refused to let her judgement be clouded.
Now, safe on Raykinian soil once more, she was lost.
She clung to Nolryn’s shirt, fingers twisting against the fabric as weeks of unspent tears rolled down her face.
Nol never said anything, but soon enough, his steady breathing calmed Nimay’s own, and she was able to rest her head more peacefully against his shoulder.
Snow ~ Noir Soundtrack
Pretty bloody obvious.
Nimay sat on her bed in the little inn, blanket wrapped tightly around her as she watched outside.
Snowflakes danced silently down from the sky, dusting the already freezing city with pristine white powder. It was quite beautiful and made the normally sludgy city look fresh and clean, like it had been made new overnight.
Alex on the spot ~ Madagascar II Soundtrack
This song needs to be longer. It's fabulous.
‘Finally!’ Nolryn shouted as the city of Ni-Yana opened out before them.
Nimay straightened in her saddle at the sight of her hometown. It was more magnificent than it ever was when she had been home for a while. After six months away, Ni-Yana was paradise. The ice of the Kazinian mountains had melted away in the Raykinian sun, but she only felt properly home again when the Ra-Lin’s gorge opened, and Ni-Yana lay right there in front of her.
