So, well, we were exchanging random songs with Trask, and I've ended up putting a visual I had since a few years into words for the first time.

(19:02:17) Tvorsk: Not sure if I ever linked this to ya. Title is crap, but song's really cool, if you can stand electronic.

(19:03:05) Tvorsk: Honestly, I have a whole odd visual imagined for it... to sum it short, "a trans-dimensional train".
(19:04:00) Trask: Wait a moment....I listened to this band before. :P
(...)
(19:47:16) Tvorsk: All right, so, to say what I promised.
(19:47:30) Tvorsk: It's quite long and complicated.
(19:48:07) Tvorsk: So, there's that old abandoned... building. Part-underground.
(19:48:17) Trask: *nids*
(19:48:19) Trask: Nods*
(19:48:27) Tvorsk: Btw, this all comes in first person perspective. ;)
(19:48:32) Trask: Nid haha. I wonder what nid would mean...
(19:48:38) Trask: Gotcha!
(19:49:17) Tvorsk: I'll be saying "I", tho honestly I didn't think of the person as "me" in any way. It's just easier.
(19:49:28) Tvorsk: So I approach it, look behind warily...
(19:49:31) Trask: *nods again*
(19:49:57) Tvorsk: The feeling  is that I was chased a long way by Some People, and I hope I lost them now as I'm sneaking in.
19:50
(19:50:58) Tvorsk: Well, the building is some kind of old rail industrial/repair facility.
(19:51:05) Tvorsk: Abandoned.
(19:51:30) Tvorsk: I get in and through, and somewhere far in (and down) there's something that definitely doesn't fit the image.
(19:52:30) Tvorsk: That is, a futuristic looking train. In perfect condition, facing the tracks out.
(19:52:45) Tvorsk: It's not a surprise, I knew it'll be there.
(19:54:14) Tvorsk: I put hand on the panel, open the cabin door, get in. It's dark inside, I reach to a power switch board and turn the main breaker.
19:55
(19:55:44) Tvorsk: Only now the song starts, actually. ^^;
(19:56:30) Trask: Hehe. *nods*
(19:56:36) Tvorsk: "Camera switch" to some kind of undescript object (never really tried to imagine in in any particular way. It's odd, but it was more like a dream - I didn't think it up, it just came with the flow). It slowly starts to get spinned (it's suspended on an axis) by the external motor or something, and something inside starts to glow faintly.
(19:57:37) Tvorsk: As you may or may not have guessed, this thing will spin up and glow faster and faster as the intro progresses and music gets faster. ;)
(19:58:22) Trask: Got it. :P
(19:58:34) Tvorsk: In the meantime I turn other stuff up, and so on.
(19:58:37) Tvorsk: Readouts go up.
(19:59:14) Tvorsk: Then there's that muffled part that breaks into the main song, right?
20:00
(20:01:07) Tvorsk: Well, at this point we're already moving, slowly, on auxilliary power, and rolling out onto the tracks.
(20:01:30) Tvorsk: When this muffled fragment happens, well, that energy source's glow kind of "charge up", and at the first beat it shoots out a beam of energy into the receiver (and keeps streaming it). And, we hit up to speed. :)
(20:02:03) Trask: Sounds cool so far. :)
(20:02:42) Tvorsk: Well, then there's quite a long-ish part of speeding up. The music there very much reminds me of wheels clicking on the track, and the movement itself.
(20:03:39) Trask: *giggles to himself* I like trains. :P
20:05
(20:05:00) Tvorsk: Oh yeah. This is what I wanted to show you. A wallpaper I used... five years ago, if not more.
(20:05:04) Offering to send Blue Harvest_b.png to Trask
(20:05:19) Trask: Cool! yes, I wanna see it.
(20:07:03) Transfer of file Blue Harvest_b.png complete (I've uploaded the pic in question to here)
(20:07:19) Trask: Oooooo!
(20:07:25) Trask: That is awesome. :)
(20:07:32) Tvorsk: I know. Sadly, it's small.
20:10
(20:10:37) Tvorsk: Okay, so then there's that bit of additional electronic clicks (equipment powering up), coming up to that whistling up part with muffled zappy-things,, right? Followed with more of the "train track sound", just moffled, and then this... high pitched thing comes in, alone for a while and then  the main rhythm joins.
(20:11:13) Trask: *nods*
(20:14:04) Tvorsk: Okay, so as I said, it's a closeup to some machinery powering up, then camera goes outside and away from the train, thus the sound is muffled, and we see how the train projects an interdimensional gate in front of it, far away, then runs into it. Then the electro-horn sounds come in.
(20:14:09) Tvorsk: That part is... interesting.
(20:14:40) Trask: I can imagine it is. :P
20:15
(20:15:45) Tvorsk: Yeah. Camera switched back in to first person perspective. "I" am standing at the front control panel, my hands are on the throttle and the wheel.
20:20
(20:21:04) Tvorsk: As we enter the gate and the sounds come, each of the tones (and you know they're fast) make the whole image change. As in, the things behind the window, the layout of the controls, and the hands that hold them. Originally, they're human ones, right? But the "blinks" have just about everything. Paws, tentacles, long odd fingers, some kind of force fields, you call it.
(20:21:50) Trask: *nods* Neat. :)
(20:22:01) Tvorsk: The idea is that while there are bajilions of parallel universes, your form is matched into equivalent what-would-be-you when you cross the border.
(20:22:31) Trask: I like that idea, I could see that.
(20:22:56) Trask: Also, be right back, mom needs me. :P
(20:23:02) Tvorsk: I've read something similar somewhere. Not exactly this, but I have that distinct feeling I derived this idea from something.
(20:23:14) Trask: *nods!*
(20:23:22) Tvorsk: And yes, I know Jonas wrote some stories like that recently, but well, I have that image since years. ;)
(20:23:52) Trask: Hehe, I see. :)
(20:24:07) Tvorsk: Okay, so after that crazy switch everything calms down, right?
(20:24:09) Trask has gone away.
(20:24:20) Trask: Keep going, I will be back in a moment. :)
(20:24:24) Tvorsk: WAIT.
(20:24:28) Tvorsk: Almost done.
20:25
(20:25:38) Tvorsk: So, well, we arrive, in a different world... I take paws off the controls, the engine shuts down, I get out... and see a castle in the background and a party of foxes with swords and crossbows to "greet" me.
(20:25:48) Tvorsk: Note I said paws there. ;)
(20:28:25) Trask is no longer away.
(20:28:28) Trask: Back.
(20:28:41) Trask: Hehe, awesome!
(20:28:47) Trask: Fox party would be the best ever!
(20:29:12) Tvorsk: So well, I guess that'd be one way to fanfic my way into Caerreyn. {;)
(20:29:31) Trask: Sounds like it could be Caerreyn.
(20:29:38) Tvorsk: Tho well, the part where the original operator was a human from Earth doesn't quite fit. ;)
(20:29:57) Trask: Haha, yeah.
20:30
(20:32:08) Tvorsk: So, well, that's what's my visual for the song. ^^

Thanks for reading,
