Gothic Space Banjo ~ Hauntingly Beautiful Ambience

[@Judg3m3nt]

Sorry if the reception feels a bit cold, most don't find it too important to get along with those about to die. This here, this edge of town, this is The Border. Once you cross this, you are entering into the Old World. This town doesn't deal in traditional currency. If you want to trade, you need to bring back relics from the Old World. The problem is, things aren't right in The Old World. There's creatures with no names, supernatural events, and dangers you can't perceive. Everything you know about reality stops existing out there. You can either go back to where you came from, or take your chances scrap hunting. Oh, and don't even think about going to the old Caroline Hotel. No one has ever come back with anything from that hotel. Good luck, Green Eyes.

When we discovered warp stone on Ceres the mining colony became as close to a city as you can find on the rim. Zeb was the one that first opened up that vein and the only one to walk out of the uncontrolled Mass Shift that ensued. Our corpo made him slightly less poor for his horrors. I figure he would head back to ol' Terra Firma. To our surprise, he hung up his drill and stayed. He would just play his banjo in our old vapor hole, taking mists of Hook and hardly sleeping. I asked him why, and red eyed, he said if he could find the right timbre he could bring 'em back. I thought he meant the boys in that mine, but after a year of mining the warp... I feel it too. When he plays something is... something is coming through...

A peaceful village, but something is wrong. Definitely getting Innsmouth vibes from this.

[@VayaKahvi]

They say it started when the ruins were found, old structures, older than humanity according to the eggheads. There wasn't any sign that something had changed, not anything that the sensors could detect, and folks used all kinds of instruments to try and find what's what there. Lots of people went to the place, said they felt something, none could really say what though. Years would pass, eggheads trying to figure things out, folks that could hear things always wandering through, finding door the eggheads never saw. At some point though, those sensitive folks started chasing out anyone that wasn't from the colony, they got really mad at anyone from old Earth, chasing them even further, harassing them till they took off on a ship.

The low bass hum in the background with the whispers and wails was an oddly calming addition to the banjo.

The banjo on its own is fine, but there’s something on a whole other level with a banjo and a haunting, ethereal soundscape paired together. It’s the musical equivalent of a match made in heaven. I’ve developed quite a taste for this. In not so many words, more like this please.

That's where ya find th' mire-witches makin' offerin's and prayer up to critters so old their names're forgotten. That's where you find them lost cities and oldtowns, half-sunk in the mud, full o' gold an' old magic. An', if ya look long enough, that's where y'all find your beast, th' Parlangua. How do Old Remi know y'all're lookin' for th' Parlangua? Nah, it ain't no magic, friend. Ol' Remi jus' a fisherman what hear t'ings from time to time.

I had become a baron of the mining industry with nothing but my backbone and the sweat off my brow. While other barons cared more for cutting corners and becoming trillionaires, I cared about honesty and integrity. It was a sunnuva bitch finding a commodity like that in the outer rim, but I still garnered miners, at first only a few hundred, some bringing their own equipment, i gathered support from family and friends. Then I got planetary sponsorships, and soon, thousands of miners under my company name. Of course, it wasn't easy. Had to hire bounty hunters and mercenaries to protect us around the clock, turned them into regular guard dogs, feeding and watering, and putting a roof over their head in exchange they'd prevent corporate sabotage on my equipment and crew. On a medium-sized planet, a few ten million miles from its star, frozen and iced over, I was settled down with an outstanding crew of 12,000. They just pulled down another four asteroids with the space station tractor beam, various minerals planet sponsors needed, and would pay handsomely. It was another routine operation. The miners mined, a crew of sabotors dropped from orbit, my mercenaries protected us, and we repeated things tomorrow, except today was different. When the third asteroid was cracked open, something was in it. When it opened up the ice beneath the rock cracked, sizzled and melted, the air vaporized, the closest miners and their equipment reduced to ash. The rock turned to magma, on a planet that averaged a temperature of -438°C, I was horrified. Then what began to crawl out of the magma and flames...
