Possible Gate/Fast Travel song. - Lord Aries Greymon - 05-28-2008 I'm unaware if it's been mentioned before (and I used what passes for a search engine here), but here's a possible ultra-speedy Travel, or Gatesong. It may have side effects (summoning an 18 wheel Tractor Trailer) , or even steep pre-requisites for use. Or, even cause mental effects Roll On (allso Roll On Highway, or Roll on Eighteen Wheeler) by Alabama. (released 1999, so he'd likely have to find it somewhere) Roll on highway, roll on along Roll on daddy till you get back home Roll on family, roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on) Well it's Monday morning, he's kissin' momma goodbye He's up and gone with the sun Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler And he's off on a midwest run As three sad faces gather 'round momma They ask her when daddy's comin' home Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler And they sure miss him when he's gone (yeah they do) Ah, but he calls them every night and he tells them that he loves them He taught them this song to sing Roll on highway, roll on along Roll on daddy till you get back home Roll on family, roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler, roll on (roll on) Well it's Wednesday evening, momma's waitin' by the phone It rings but it's not his voice Seems the highway patrol has found a jack-knifed rig In a snow bank in Illinois But the driver was missin' and the search had been abandoned For the weather had everything stalled And they had checked all the houses and the local motels When they had some more news they'd call And she told them when they found him to tell him that she loved him And she hung up the phone singin' Roll on highway, roll on along Roll on daddy till you get back home Roll on family, roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on Momma and the children will be waiting up all night long Thinkin' nothing but the worst is comin' With the ringin' of the telephone Oh, but the man upstairs was listening When momma asked him to bring daddy home And when the call came in it was daddy on the other end Askin' her if she had been singin' the song, singin' Roll on highway, roll on along Roll on daddy till you get back home Roll on family, roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler Roll on highway, roll on along Roll on daddy till you get back home Roll on family, roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler, roll on (roll on) Eighteen-wheeler Eighteen-wheeler Eighteen-wheeler Eighteen-wheeler Roll on Roll on Roll on Roll on Again, not too certain how usefull it would be. It may even be a multiple effect, or varied effect song. IE, multiple requirements, for multiple effects. (may even be entirely no effect untill a requirement is fufilled - Lord Aries Greymon - 05-28-2008 A second possible travel song. Possible Requirement(s): Allready travelling by Motorcycle, or other Highway (Freeway, Street) transportation. Possible Primary Effect(s): Ignores roadblocks, and forms either a Spectral (ghostly) Convoy around Doug's ride, or a Simulacra of a convoy forms around Doug's ride. Possible Side Effect(s): A willingness to Break motorized travel laws. Convoy, by C.W.

Convoy may be a squib, in and of Doug's never encountered the correct curcumstances that it would manifest. Then again, I just thought of the perfect answer on this one. Its a subtle one, that all transport operators in his AOE become willing to form up into a convoy for mutual protection or whatever. Sadly, if anyone is hauling pork products that operator tends to get a constant ribbing about the smell. Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky? That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry- NO QUARTER!!! -- "No Quarter", by Echo's Children - Lord Aries Greymon - 05-28-2008 Heh heh heh. I like those possibilities StarRanger4. I like your Roll on better than mine. - Evil Midnight Lurker - 05-30-2008 Convoy needs to summon a simulacrum of Optimus Prime. --Sam "There's a thin line between being a hero and being a memory." - Star Ranger4 - 05-30-2008 Doug needs to be able to meet him first. And be familiar with the fact that Prime is known as Convoy in the Japaneese versions. Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?

Dave Carter and Tracy Grammar - Little Liza Jane when i was just nine days old jumped off my pappy's knee and i crawled out on the open road, a long-haul trucker for to be saved my money, bought a rig factory stock and plain tricked her out give the name, Little Liza, Liza Jane i said bull dog train, she my ball and chain chokin churnin rubber burnin Little Liza Jane i took to haulin overloads across the great divide missions through the rabbit ears, hell-for-leather, do-or-die, crosswinds clocked at 80 knots, snow upon the ground, black ice in the hammer lane, man, that don't even slow me down bull dog train, she my ball and chain frettin fussin diesel guzzlin Little Liza Jane smoky at the chicken coop, he said the road was closed so i doubled back a mile or so and took this little turn i know top froze over, bundled out, downgrade ten percent nailed her into boogie and then down that evil road i went singin bull dog train, she my ball and chain slippin slidin skatin glidin Little Liza Jane road so slick i couldn't, steer snow too thick to see runnin short on shoulder and my nine loves runnin out on me sheer cliff risin to the left, drop off to the right and nothin past that guard rail but a thousand feet of endless night i said bull dog train, she my ball and chain racin rockin tight-rope walkin Little Liza Jane faster now and faster still, couldn't touch the brakes so i let Liza have her head and i crossed my heart for goodness sake but underneath that driven snow alligator bait chomped a tire, road went left, me and Liza went on straight and we crashed right through that wooden rail, over the side we went thirty years of smoke and chrome and thirty years of bad intent streakin like a cannon ball, a comet trail in space and the stars hung in my window, and the full moon in my mortal face bull dog train, she my ball and chain rippin roarin eagle soarin Little Liza Jane now Lord i pray forgive me for all the wrongs i've done for all the bambis i have banged and the stogies i have bummed but as i stand before you, i swear by smoke and steel that we sailed down past those chasm walls and never grazed a wheel 'cause Liza's tires were spinnin and her cab was cocked just so that we touched down like a jumbo jet when we hit that valley road below and she pulled it out like magic on a triple-digit ride and we made it home ahead of time good luck and trouble on our side and drivers, when you're weary and you just can't find the trail if you ask me to reveal the moral of this little tale, i'll say bull dog train, she my ball and chain jumpin jammin hammer slammin Little Liza Jane bull dog train, she my ball and chain jumpin jammin hammer slammin rippin roarin eagle soarin racin rockin tight-rope walkin slippin slidin skatin glidin frettin fussin diesel guzzlin chokin churnin hellfire burning Little Liza Little Liza Little Liza Little Liza Little     Liza         Jane ...even if it isn't worth a power, I suspect that Doug would love some of the turns of phrase. =========== =============================================== "V, did you do something foolish?" "Yes, and it was glorious." - Bob Schroeck - 12-02-2009 Mm. I like the idea of "Roll On" as a gate song, possibly manifesting an 18-wheeler around Doug as he goes through the whole transit. "Convoy" came out somewhere between 1974 and 1976, because I was in the last couple years of elementary school when it hit the charts. A mixed travel/battering ram kind of effect might be a good compromise. Little Liza... Mm. Makes any truck Doug's on or in capable of atmospheric flight for the duration. Same limits as usual... which means max speed of mach 6. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Norgarth - 12-02-2009 RE Little Liza: If used after his stop in Fenspace, maybe the truck gets (temporarily?)
