Emo RD Rambles 3: Patient Playlist

Welcome back to Emo Cannot Write For Shit So You All Get His Rambles. With an additional thing at the end winkwink. This is really really long so let's get cracking.

Today's concept: Ian and Ada approach the idea of creating a Patient Radio - a playlist made of the long term patient's favourites songs to 'maximise comfort'.

As a beta for the Radio, they leave a sheet of paper in the connecting hallway for patients to list suggestions of their preferred music, around three or four songs maximum. Some already have ideas in mind, while others struggle.

This is just a silly idea I had when wondering what type of music the main RD cast listens to; excluding the songs they're actually involved in. This also created some funny writing prompts that I may use for a small comedic anthology. For example:

Hailey is the first person to write anything down: and she's pretty basic (sorry). Her style is very mainstream, involving those pop songs you'd hear on the radio. From there, a few folks follow, with varying genres and tastes. The next day, however, more folks have added some ideas, including Logan. You can tell Logan has visited - because there is now a messy heart drawn next to Hailey's suggestions.

Also, Logan suggests similar stuff to Hailey, with the addition of maybe an anime opening or two.

Cole... suggests his own music. For the sake of both his ego, and the declining state of the patients, he's given a stern 'no'. Of course, it's Cole, so he angrily scribbles out his suggestions and leaves the paper be. He's surprised when 'Unreachable' comes on via the Patient Radio - and, sure enough, someone's written it down past his scribbling. More specifically, Samurai. He even signed it! (By that, I mean the writing is just "Unreachable- Cole Brew (SAMURAI)". All of Samurai's suggestions are signed this way.)

Insomniac writes down only one suggestion: a traditional Japanese folk song (or 'hōgaku'). This would be fine - if he wrote the song's title in Romaji. Instead, the song is written in pure, specific kanji characters.

Ada returns to Ian come the night with a new version of the paper: "Hey, so, uh- I got the paper back today and there's some new stuff from the swordsmen. Any idea what this is?" Ian turns, "Hah?" before seeing the kanji. There's a slight pause before he just casually goes, "Oh! This is (insert Japanese title here)! That's easy, I'll type it up." Ada learns that Ian learnt how to read kanji entirely just for the songs he listens to that are in Japanese.

Oh yeah: the moment this song plays on the radio, the Insomniac falls asleep. Hell, he sleeps like a baby. Unfortunately, they can't play it on loop, but now they know he appreciates a lil' lullaby.

Speaking of Ian and Ada, they decide to add some of their own songs to the mix (Ian mostly - he felt it was a little unfair that the patients get to listen to banger tunes). Ian adds quite a variety, but we cannot ignore the fact he adds maybe one or two vocaloid songs.

Ada, unfortunately, is a little embarrassed of her status as a former theatre kid, still musical lover. She, instead, uses a few common songs from the radio to add to the list. Ian convinces her, after a little while, to add a really popular song from her favourite musical. I do not know what musical this is.

There's a surprising amount of patients that add jazz to the radio, or at least music from the 1950 to 1980's era. For one, the Stevensons' accidentally add the same song to the list twice, given Mr. Stevenson can't read his wife's handwriting that well anymore (I'll elaborate on why later). This also just so happens to be a song that played in their wedding. They have a ball dancing to it.

Additionally, the Miner also includes a bit of Rock 'n' Roll or otherwise jazz into his suggestions. They're very old for the 30-something nut, but it adds up. He also, thanks to Cole, includes a little chiptune.

Hugh somehow adds the tutorial theme. You know, the tutorial song from Rhythm Doctor. Nobody recognises the title, or the artist, but everyone in the ward has a mutual moment of "I swear I've heard this before". Hugh doesn't comment.

There's a slight cultural shift once Insomniac includes his traditional tune. It's not the only Non-English hit, and Ian/Logan do add a couple of Japanese songs to the pile.

In Nicole's case, she ends up not sure what to suggest, but still wanting to take part. So, she ends up adding a Chinese pop song, quote: "I don't know any Chinese myself, but my mom would put this on a lot, and I didn't have anything else that'd be good for a hospital radio."

Lucky adds two jazz, and a rock song to the radio. The biggest issue is that he originally aimed to add a Spanish song from his childhood, but got caught in his own head, scribbling it out halfway. The good thing? Miner is able to read bits and pieces, writing what he could make out - angering Lucky into writing the full title. He jumps when it plays on the radio days later.

I believe that's everything I had listed. Thanks to RDL for allowing me to compile all of my thoughts before adding them here, as these are now far more conjoined.

Oh, right! The bonus thing! Considering the song suggestions were taken on a piece of lined paper, I thought it would be fun to visualise what I believe the main casts' handwriting would look like:

If you have any thoughts/additions you want to make, you have full reign to send me asks/reblog this with whatever you like. Have a good one, lads - EMO

I have seen nearly every single type of relationship headcanoned about these two it's Really good

[mystorl]

Dublar and their relationships with the RD cast!

(loads of text under the keep reading)

Ada and Ian: Dublar is really friendly with them, after all they did so much to help them so they want to do as much as they can to help them! Its only fair. They like to play games with Ian (even though they are terrible at them) and might wanna duet with Ada one day (once they get over some...issues).

Edega: Dublar is very scared of the clipboard man, trying to stay far away from him and just avoid him. He reminds them of their dad.

Janitor: Dublar is head over heels for the Janitor, they think he's a cool guy with a hidden soft spot and Dublar wants to be with him someday.

Hugh: Even though the farmer isn't part of the staff (officaly) the two are friendly.

Samurai: One time Dublar accidentally dropped one of their magnets and it stuck on to Samurai’s armor, they’ve been acquaintances ever since that day.

Logan: They think the little kiddo needs to confess to his crush already! But other than that Dublar thinks he’s neato.

Hailey: The two of them are buds but Dublar doesn’t really hang out with her, though they do think her and Logan are very cute together.

Insominac: They’re friends, they don’t chat much. The Birds: Dublar enjoys their presence but finds them kinda scary.

Richard: It’s odd, on one hand they can relate to health secretary on being born with an extra body part, but on the other Richard is very rude.

The Birds: Dublar enjoys their presence but finds them kinda scary.

The Stevensons: Thinks that both of them are really sweet and cute together, and might have called Mrs Stevenson “grandma” once on accident.

Cole: Really likes the musician and hangs out with him a lot. They have a lot in common, being chill, enjoying video games, and being stressed!

Nicole: Also really likes her, they like to relax and chill in the cafe and strike up a conversation with her.

Miner: Their just bros.

Lucky: At first they weren’t fond of each other, Lucky didn’t want to be cooped in the hospital and Dublar isn’t into sports. But overtime the two got more friendly with each other and chat during each other’s work outs. Though Dublar still doesn’t like sports.

Lucia: BESTIES!!! They like drawing together on Dublar’s spare time.
