Yes, this is the project I've been secretly babying for a month and a half, and this is the cast I've been gloating about in the "VAA Little Happy Moments" thread, all completely under the radar-- and yes, even the cast didn' t know about the OP, which I asked Princess Clairey to do as a special treat. :3

Aside from the total timing/quality trauma this thing suffered courtesy of YouTube the town rapist, I am SO proud of everyone's work on this. Special thanks to Emma, LittleStar, TriPredRavage, and Princess Clairey, all of whom made my first project the best experience I could have asked for.

SUMMARY: Rosa wakes up in purgatory, where Beato made snacks.

Feel the storm closing in from on high
Can you hear the rush of the rumbling sea?
Everything breathes, everything sings
And it haunts the evening

They hear the words they thought time had erased
Something tells them they’re spellbound, they start to pray
But when they cry,
The banquet arrives,
There will be no mercy, no time

These wings are not angels’ wings
There is no escape from this hell
Faced with your sins,
Will you repent, will you finally reap
What you’ve sown?

My darling, don’t cry
There’s no need to fight
If you close your eyes
Surrender
Breathe me and see me for all that I am,
And I’ll spare your life

Hush now, don’t you scream,
Hear this lullaby
But if you should fight
I’ll drag you to hell
(I’ll make it) I’ll make it violent red for you
Ahh

The singing blew me away<3 LittleStar, you are so creepy. Battler is trying to be cool...? This clip was really well done and the cast amazing. Literally.

[xSPADEofHEART]

I still feel butthurt about lack of Battler slamming Beato's head into the table. Oooh so butthurt.;_;

Anyway, it was PAAFECTO~ I thought the voice effect at the end was kinda weird, but other than that it was awesome.

[Emma]

WOW!!! This is was amazing, guys! The singing and everyone's acting... everything was great! There was a weird voice effect at the end, but besides that, bravo.

[Simbaga]

I seriously have no idea how that robo-echo thing happened. I think I might have accidentally bumped something and split the stereo track, but it really was not intentional. O__o

But seriously, thank you guys so much for watching, I'm so glad you liked it. ^__^

[TriPredRavage]

So, I'm just going to throw this out there.

This was my first, and remains to be my only exposure to this series. I have no idea what is going on, but I liked the line "how about you slice up those cow tits of yours and make me a sandwich?" So I had to accept when Simbaga approached me with this clip.

I thought everybody did really well. The off synced audio makes it hard for me to judge my performance though. It's like I can't hear myself over myself... if that makes any sense, so I don't know how I did on this one...

All and all, it was a lot of fun to record! But I still have no clue what's going on. (Was I turned into a chair prior? I hope I was a comfy chair...)

[Y. Chang]

Wow, all of you gave such energetic and lively performances! It's nice to hear such an interesting interpretation for Beatrice. Also, I really really liked the stellar lyrics for the opening and the style that Clairey infused into her singing. It's quite the appropriate clip for the occasion~

[cruc1f1x21]

This...was so creepy.
In the awesome epic way.

Simbaga, holy crap you scared me. That was too fiendish D:
TriPred, aren't you just the greatest hero 8D. Beat that sh- down.
Emma, I like your performance...nothing to comment on.
Littlestar, JESUS YOU SCARED ME. Don't come to dinner with me D:

The lines were ...amazing.
Mixing was amazing blah blah blah

Props on the intro to that amazing singer lady =3

I'm sorry i'm not too in depth. I don't feel like critiquing awesome.

Good job!

[Simbaga]

Reuploaded and fixed that random echo at the end, plus corrected the credits. Too bad YouTube still sucks. >=[

TriPred: "Furniture" is basically Beatospeak for "my bitch." ;D The basic premise of the story is that Battler and Beatrice are fighting, in some bizarre purgatory-ish meta-world, over what killed Battler and his family the night of their family conference. She says she killed them with magic, he says a human did it, because if he acknowledges that she is a witch she can fully exist. This scene follows a point at which Battler gives up, so this is his badass redemption scene. =D bring me my goddamn slippers!

Y. Chang: If we do more clips of this, I want your version of the ED. I HAZ DIBS. D: Thank you so much for your compliments, I really appreciate it. ^_^

cruc1f1x21: Wow, thank you very much for your comments!!! Glad we managed to creep you out this lovely Halloween evening, eeheehee. :3

*____*
*doesn't really know whether to be scared or amazed*

Wow that was really, a pretty appropriate Halloween dub! Although the scene itself creeped the hell out of me (I felt like screaming at the screen, DON'T EAT IT!") the acting and the singing were flawless.

I've never really heard PrincessClairey sing before but O_O wow you're amazing, you made the song sound soo perfect ^_^

I really liked everyone's acting performance.

Rosa made me feel as if she was really terrified and regretful for what she had done to her daughter.

Beatrice was eloquent, creepy and pure evil ^_^ (her voice reminds me of Queen Brahne in actorman's dub).

Maria almost made me go 0_0 because not only was she a convincing little girl she seemed a little mad and scary like she was sposed to.

Battler was on for only a few seconds but he had a very confident sounding voice, like he was about to kick Beato ass XD.

Great halloween fandub!
