Exquisite Corpse, Version 2

Postby Wyndhail » 06/24/2010 2:41 PM

Well, there was an Exquisite Corpse game hanging around here but now I can't find it.

So, for people who aren't familiar:
One person will post a line of a song/story/whatever, in spoiler tags. Aka, this:
Code: Select all
[spoiler]Write Your Text Here[/spoiler]


... which will make the text invisible until highlighted, like this:
Write Your Text Here

The person posting after that person highlights the line they posted, but /none that came before it/, and uses that line to make their own. For example,

Mary had a little lamb.
Who happened to be a zombie.
However, he did not want to eat brains.


Person 3 would not see the post of Person 1. The last person on the page (the fifteenth poster- each page is 15 posts) adds their line, then compiles the lines of everyone else (un-spoilered) to show the poem/story in its full glory (or not). I'll start. Remember, only highlight this if you are the person posting /directly after me/.

Son, fear is the heart of love. (It's a line from a song.)
get a little closer, let fold
cut open my sternum, and pull
my little ribs around you
the lungs of me be crowns over you
get a little closer, let fold
cut open my sternum, and pull
my little ribs around you
the rungs of me be under, under you

ill cut the soft pockets, let bleed
over the rocky cliffs that you leave
to peer over and not forget what feet are
splitting threads of lightning over me

But I will not make her fear me.

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

(this sounds fantastic 8D)

fear is the motivator of anger



Push play, turn out the lights,
quietly on the floor I lie,
with my foot I close the bedroom door.
I can see shadow lines,
from tree tops on the hill side,
and moonlight glows through the window sill.

And that never makes a good relationship.

Like the Corpse Bride. Her relationship was a little... dead... heh.... awright.

But I still pressed her letters to my lips.




I want it to be you, ooh
Diving into my ocean
A brand new emotion come true, ooh
Don't let this night, don't let this night go

How long 'til you play me the song
That will make me belong to you?
One dance with my baby tonight
And we'll dance 'til the night is through

But then I got a papercut on my lip, and it hurt real bad. ;o;
About you and me: it's plain to see,
We only ever want to stay inside and watch TV,
Because that's just as good a memory,
You're just good company,
And I am finally accepting that.

Remember the time when we stole the whole day?
And nobody knows it, we took it away,
And it will be forever mine,
And it will be forever yours
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone,
We'll never forget how it feels to be young,
Cos it will be forever mine,
And it will be forever yours.

It looked kind of silly, but it helped the owie.

So I said, "Thanks, kind sah," but he was gone when I looked up.

"People come and go so quickly here." I murmured to myself.

The King beneath the mountains,
The King of carven stone,
The lord of silver fountains
Shall come into his own!

His crown shall be upholden,
His harp shall be restrung,
His halls shall echo golden
To songs of yore re-sung.

The streams shall run in gladness,
The lakes shall shine and burn,
All sorrow fail and sadness
At the Mountain-king's return!

But that's life, right?



You've been known to obsess over the future,

Do you think you'll get away from the past?

As you starve yourself just to make it through to midnight,

Consider what you might have found.

You think you've got a good thing now?

It can build you up or break you down, but it's up to you how you respond.

Crumbling under peer pressure may be a sign that one's character--their spirit, or resolve--is weak.

The King beneath the mountains,
The King of carven stone,
The lord of silver fountains
Shall come into his own!

His crown shall be upholden,
His harp shall be restrung,

Or it might be a sign that you're a middle schooler.
