My Bubbling Beaker
Berlinier's Gramophone

Created by: - Lost Arche -

Inspired by: non-string musical instruments, WW1, WW2, mid 20th cen. europe.

Description of Evolving Item: You won the mystery item at the museum's auction yesterday, only to see that your "grand prize" is some kind of archaic version of the cd player.... and it only has one flimsy, dirty record. Yet, when you play the record, the room starts to swirl, and your ears become accustomed to the sad symphony of many forgotten souls.

Suggested Poses:
first pose: a simple gramophone. kinda small. not too impressive. can be on the ground or handheld
2nd pose: brass/steampunk like notes come out of it. think of the go-phones lullabye pose, but more detailed. same poses
3rd pose: the notes become bigger, crazier, wilder. they are swirling around your head like a flock of birds
4th pose: the notes are graying now. a couple even look like people. others look like WW1/2 planes
5th pose: the notes have completed their transformation. Ghosts in ww2 garb float aimlessly around you, and planes, clouds, and zeppelins fly past your head. are those famous european cities in the background?
6th pose: i haven't gotten this far yet, but i suppose you could throw in some vintage like clothing from the time period? stuff like this, this, and this? oh, and this too!
7th pose: remember those famous city backgrounds? well, their in flames now. burning big ben, burning eiffle tower, burning berlin [what would you know about that?!?!]. and the little planes are the bomb dropping culprits. throw in some facial expressions for good measure c:
8th pose: the aftermath. burnt down cities. ghosts flying around. planes off in the far distance.
9th pose: the ghosts huddle around you. one in particular [a middle aged woman with her young child] appears to be talking to you. she is also pointing at the gramophone [which has popped up again]
10th pose: you hold the record in your hand. the one side you haven't seen is showing. [this could spread out into music-themed items, e.g hairpins, caplets, cloaks, etc.] there is also a pose with the flipped record on the gramophone.
11th pose: the flipped side of the record is relieving the ghosts. they now get to finally rest in peace. i suppose this could stretch out into more stuff, but that is all i have for now.

Wow, I aboslutely LOVE this idea =D

Being a big fan of history and music, this is something I'd really love to have.

What might be neat is to have some toy planes to hold...a little B-17, a P-51, a Spitfire, a Messerschmitt 109, a Mitsubishi Zero...

City scenes: London, Paris, Berlin, Pearl Harbor...perhaps Rome, Moscow...(Russia and Italy were involved too...), Hiroshima, Nagasaki...

Holy crap, I want this item SO badly.
