[@PanthereaLeonis]

Mountain king = troll And the dumb kid who's actually there and being threatened doesn't actually run away IIRC, he's being cornered by a bunch of angry trolls because he dared to screw around with the king's daughter, and then he bluffs his way out of there because bluffing is the only thing he's good at.

[@thequeertelope7941]

XD

[@allgreatfictions]

@@PanthereaLeonis actually, he gets invited there and is offered half the kingdom if he promises to live the rest of his life as a troll. In Peer Gynt, the trolls aren't really described as being monstrous or ugly particularly. The mountain king's Daughter is actually supposed to be beautiful. The difference is that trolls do only enough to get by, and put very little effort into their lives. At the end of the play, Peer is told that his soul is going to be melted down, and he doesn't go to heaven or hell because he hasn't made any effort in his life to be himself. He has effectively lived his entire life as a troll.

[@merrittanimation7721]

I find something interesting about this. This piece was originally composed for the play Peer Gynt, where the title character is taken into troll lair in the mountains in order to marry the troll king's daughter, so this this comes across a lot sexier now.

i saw this and immediately said “nno-hOOOO” with so much grief, and then promptly decided i had to watch it.

[@IstasPumaNevada]

And then promptly were soothed by the fact it sounds amazing and now you have a new wonderful piece of music in your life.

[@InceyWincey]

Playing songs in 6/8 or waltz time is one of my favourite past times. I first did it with Purple Haze in a band I was in and it’s absolutely amazing and since then I try it with just about everything. Otherwise, taking songs in 3/4 and playing them in 4/4 but with a funk rhythm is also very much fun.

[@mmbcproductions3340]

i would totally hire an orchestra to play this masterpiece

[@hylke45]

Yes, but would you hire a classical orchestra or a jazz orchestra for this piece?

Writer instincts! Activate! You've summoned my inner author and now you pay the price with this little short story inspired by the 'spy movie' sorta vibes from this. This is written completely on the fly, and there's at least one plot hole but it's too late in my time zone right now for me to be up, much less writing. Nonetheless, enjoy ;) 0:00 - *Title: The **-Greatest-** Okayest Thieves To Ever Live* 0:04 - *Three Days Before* "Are you sure this is gonna work?" Nadia asked. "So sure," Kirsten said. "This is full-proof, and simple, too. We get in, get the artifact, get out. Then, it's just a matter of returning it to it's rightful owners. The culture it /actually/ came from." "Don't get me wrong, I like this whole 'vigilante justice' thing we got going on," Rachel said. "But I didn't really sign up for, y'know, jail time." "And you're not /getting/ jail time," Kirsten said. "Because this going to be easy." She craned her neck, looking over her shoulder. "Cass! How we doin' over there?" "Just fine," Cass said, casually typing away at her computer. "Lemme tell you, your dad's funds are really helpful. The flight alone is 600$ for all of us, plus expenses while we're there, not to mention any tools we might need to pick up or data-" Nadia sighed. "That's why you're the accountant, Cass." "Accountant and /hacker/, Nadia." "Doesn't matter," Kirsten said. We are gonna rock this. No one will even know what happened." 0:35 - *Night Of, 12:04am* "Kirsten, you're an idiot," Rachel hissed. "Shut it!" Kirsten said. "Okay, maybe the entrance wasn't perfect. Doesn't matter, no one saw our faces and Nadia's got them handled." "Better hurry, you two," Cass said through the earpieces. "I'm not sure how long she can keep that guard distracted with her god awful flirting." 0:51 - *Night Of, 1:19am* Kirsten slid the artifact off the pedestal with ease as Rachel kept a keen eye out for any patrolling guards. Gently, with all the care in the world, Kirsten slid it into a cushioned case, and into her duffel bag. "Move it, you two!" Cass snarled. "Get out of there!" "Don't have to tell us twice," Rachel said, already moving for the door. "Nadia, you got the car?" Kirsten whispered. "Got it," Nadia replied. "Ready when you are. Waiting on the corner of 5th and Alto." As nimble as a cat, Kirsten opened up one of the windows and hopped out into the bushes, with Rachel in tow. Once the two were far enough away from the museum, they walked normally, trying to avoid any attention. 1:22 - *Night Of, 2:43am* "Not bad," Nadia said once they were all back in their shared little hotel room. Kirsten was busy changing into pajamas, and Rachel was already yawning on the couch. Cass examined the artifact they had gotten, carefully measuring every inch. "It's definitely authentic," Cass said. "And pretty good shape, too." Nadia flopped down on the couch, flipping on the TV, before abruptly sitting up. "Rachel?" She said her voice firm. Rachel bolted up. "What?" "You're an idiot." "Huh?" _"You left the window open! They tracked you right out!"_ 1:36 - *Night Of, 3:28am* Rachel was nearly out of breath. "I am so, so-" "Apologies later!" Nadia said, swerving the car away from the screeching police sirens. "Not getting arrested, _now!_" "Rookie mistakes, it happens," Kirsten said. "Not in our line of work!" Cass snarled. The whole van lurched as Nadia rounded a corner. "Hold on! Kirsten, how quickly can you ready your dad's jet?" Kirsten sucked in a breath. "He'll be pissed, but about ten minutes. Can you keep them off for that long?" "I can sure as hell try!" 1:45 - *Night Of, 3:31am* Cass glanced out the rear window. "Hey, Nadia? Slam on it!" "I already am!" Nadia hollered. "Damn it, damn it, damn it-" Kirsten glanced up. "Nadia, hit it. We should get to the jet just as it's ready. We'll have to sprint though." Rachel groaned. "I've done enough physical exercise for the night." "It's your fault we're here in the first place!" Cass said. "You're running!" 1:53 - *Night Of, 3:36am* The runway was in sight. "Nadia, leave the van," Kirsten said. "Rachel, grab the artifact. Cass, grab your laptop, nothing else. We can replace that stuff." The van screeched to a halt, and all of them jumped out. The car directly behind them barely avoided crashing into the van, the rest of the cars slowing down slightly. Rachel's lungs burned from exertion - the duffle bag, with the idol inside, was cradled in her arms. 2:08 - *Night Of, 3:37am* A gunshot rang out, spurring all of them into a full sprint, like they had never run before. Blood rushed in Rachel's ears, adrenaline being the only thing keeping her going. The jet was so, so close - the back opened up, the pilot waiting patiently for them all to get inside. 2:16 - *Night Of, 3:37am* Rachel could feel herself slowing down. The police were gaining. So she did the only thing she could think of; a split second thought made in the haze of adrenaline. She called out for Kirsten, tossing the duffle back to her. Thank god, she caught it. Her knees went out from under her, and with a grunt, she hit the concrete, barely ten feet from the plane. 2:23 - *Night Of, 3:38am* A hand on her shoulder. She grimaced, preparing for the cool metal of cuffs around her, only to suddenly be slung over someone's shoulder. She slammed into the floor of the jet. 2:31 - *Night Of, 3:38am* As Rachel caught her breath, she glanced up to see Kirsten, giving her a sloppy smile. "Trying to be the hero, eh? Hate to break it to you, but we work as a team here. No solo acts." Rachel could only manage a weak laugh in response. 2:38 - *Night Of, 3:42am* After profusely thanking the jet staff for getting it all ready on such short notice, the four of them relaxed in the jet's main area, most of them barely awake. Kirsten nudged Rachel with her foot. "So? Like your first heist?" Cass groaned. "Normally we don't get caught." "Don't worry," Nadia said. "Hard part's over. Well, mostly." "Just..." Kirsten sucked in a breath. "Close windows next time, alright?"
