《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 212: Music Plan I
Advertisement
Music had to take the helm for the most part and knock Old Sullivan's Alex acting plan out of contention.
To do that, something extremely noteworthy must happen to put stuff into the spotlight.
People were shocked by his so-called "natural" acting talent and it had locked his grandfather's thoughts in a direction that Alexander did not want.
Something more shocking must happen to divert that locked thoughts and have them shift into a direction that Alexander wanted.
It was a harmless family game of schemes and influencing. None would get hurt and it was extremely excessive when it shouldn't be, however, Alexander wanted to take part in it and win.
Since it was the supremely shocking factor that was needed, he just had to do his part!
-----
On a certain voice recording day, Alexander had just finished dubbing some of his Goku parts and it just so happens that Old Sullivan was present in the CREED premises to oversee some things.
Taking this opportune chance, instead of taking his usual break, Alexander entered the specialized room where the musical instruments and music team were hanging out.
Of course, it was essential that Old Sullivan "knew" where he went, so he had Cocky Cox unwittingly tag along for them to be extra notable.
The dubbing team was unclear as to why the Dragonball VA main duo was headed towards the music-specialized room but it did put some light on what Alexander was doing.
Curious folk tends to try to get to the bottom of curious events. Curiosity spreads as well and with the special Creed little boss involved, everything compounded to fit the stage that Alexander wanted things to set.
All that he had to do was perform.... and perform was what he did!
-----
The music team was unsure as to why their quirky little boss had entered their work premises when he usually wouldn't and doesn't all. However, they still had to accommodate. He's the little boss, after all.
"Is there anything we could help you with, little boss?" Asked a man fiddling with a guitar.
"Mr. Guitarman, I'm quite interested in music at the moment. Would it be okay for you to give me lessons?" Alexander's calm tone was laced with "curiosity". Of course, he had already given these random employees their appropriate designation as soon as he took note of them.

"Er..." Mr. Guitarman wanted to introduce his true name but he also knew the circulating naming perk of this little boss of theirs. There was no getting around that now, so he may at least cater to the request. "Well... if you want to learn the guitar, little boss. I guess I can still teach you the basics."
"That would be fine by me." Alexander nodded in agreement.
Everyone inside the room now knew what he wanted and the music team was quite intrigued with what was happening as well. It's not every day that the boss(or little boss in this scenario) would want to learn something from his employee.
They were even somewhat envious of Mr. Guitarman as well, since being the little boss' guitar teacher must mean a bonus or something. Thoughts of offering instrument lessons had come up in their minds from the pianist to the special synthmen.
They still had to wait though as Mr. Guitarman and the little boss had already settled down. Mr. Guitarman had a guitar in hand and it was quite handy that there were extra guitars that seem to fit quite well with a ten-year-old trainee.
Since there wasn't much fun to do in this room of theirs, spectating shouldn't be a bad idea.
Everyone watched and expected to see a normal step-by-step tutoring, however, their expectations were wrong...
-----
Mr. Guitarman lessoned about the techniques of strumming. The way how the nails should touch the strings and what motions the hand should take.
Little boss Alex followed the directions. His wrists were troubled for the first five times but they became methodic, rhythmic, and stable after that.
Everyone commended it as it was a relatively easy thing to do. Little boss Alex had done well, however, there were still hurdles to come.
Mr. Guitarman taught how to do the C chord and little boss Alex had done quite well after repeating it a couple of times.
The spectators commended inwardly but they knew that there were still much harder hurdles to come.
Mr. Guitarman taught how to do the D chord and little boss Alex had done quite well after repeating it a couple of times.

The spectators commended inwardly but there were still hurdles to come. It was no time to be impressed... however... wasn't the D chord and its variants one of the hardest things that beginners would encounter?
Mr. Guitarman taught on with the next following chords and even mixed it up a bit by having the little boss re-do some chords that have been learned.
Little boss Alex responded with ease and did the chords as Mr. Guitarman had instructed him to.
The spectators... well... they were now impressed! Much more so when the much more complex chords were tackled. The little boss had mistakes the first few times but had already achieved some bits of mastery in the following repeats.
From the simple C to the most complex 6-string F, the little ten-year-old before them had consistent repeats and mastery all throughout.
They finally realized that this was not normal step-by-step learning at all. It was a blitz of learning through and through.
Even Mr. Guitarman felt the pressure from this abnormal student and upped the challenge by teaching a complex riff.
The little boss was still the same though. He just consulted which was next from a certain point, repeat it a couple of times, and after that, he would be able to do it at an already passable level.
The only thing that made it an imperfect copy of the riff was the limitations of his ten-year-old hands and fingers.
The inexplicable learning proficiency was apparent to everybody in the room and everyone hissed from their reeling shock.
Courteney, who had been dragged to spectate and knew about the boy's "music" plans, were in the same boat as them. Wasn't she already shocked by the boy talking about a music business? How come he had to become a music monster now
Her perceptions of the world had been overturned many times now that she felt that everything was spinning wildly. It was a good thing that she stopped herself from fainting.
After all, the guitar session with Mr. Guitarman was just the start.
Mr. KeyMan, Mr. Drums, Synth Team, and all the rest had their own teaching turn and their teaching shock. Even Mr. Guitarman had a recurrence as his Mr. Electric Guitarman but the monstrous little boss still match whatever they taught.
At that point, Courteney and the un-coping had already steered clear from the room to breathe fresh air. Most of the shocked teachers had to rethink their reasons for existence.
Although the little boss had only employed the basics and some hard things they threw in, his learning ability and now surfaced musical talent had still made most of their efforts on their respective instruments to be somehow pointless.
It was acceptable if the little boy was just talented at one instrument but how come he had to be so freakin' stable at all of them.
Of course, the little boss performance that happened in the music room had been spotlighted. Everyone interested in what the little boss was doing in that room knew what happened.
Some of them had sneaked into peak after all. CREED and Creed Animations were multi-functional and connected overall, so an inter-Creed channel of little boss gossip had already been circulating around.
Little boss Alexander Creed was a learning freak and a music monster!
Old Sullivan, who was inspecting company operations, was a gossip mingler as well, so his old heart felt young again when he knew about it!
It was supremely shocking that his old bones just want to get to the bottom of things.
-----
The entire Creed companies were abuzz and the music plan had its amazing Kickstarter!
Alexander's 20-plus years of being a semi-recluse in his past-future CREED came quite handy. He dabbled in many things and he was quite proud of himself to have played around with his collected instruments that had not been selling at all.
Perhaps past-future CREED's unprofitable-ness had set itself up for this re-life moment!

Of Men and Dragons, Book 2
Jack, S'haar, and all their family are back. After crashing his ship on an underdeveloped world, Jack found friends and family among the terrifying cat-lizard natives of the world, but now mere survival is no longer enough. They must carve out a new home for themselves in the landscape of the now rapidly changing world. Raiders, politics, and even nature threaten their happiness and their lives while they struggle to deal with the nightmares and traumas of yesterday. They'll need to depend on each other more than ever if they hope for their new home to have any kind of future. In case you missed it, here's book one. ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

Macabre Mim
*Note: This story is on hiatus. I intend to pick it up again, but the mood of my life has shifted for the time being and I'm going to be working on a side project for a bit.* What would you give to live the life of your dreams? What kind of deal would you make? And when you were there, forced to stare your dreams in the eye and live them every day, how long would it be... before they broke you? Author's note: This is my first excursion outside the realm of villain fan fiction and I welcome feedback. The thing I've loved most about RRL so far is the potential for writing to be an interactive experience with excited readers. That said, also, the primary genre this is intended for is the blossoming realm of LitRPG. Namely, a slice of life tale in the manner of Grimgar or Re:Zero. So, likewise, I don't expect there will ever be a clear beginning-middle-and-end type of pattern to this story. It will likewise always be a bit more of a reactionary, exploratory novel into realms unknown - much like the 1800 travel-novel theme used by Jules Verne. Or, at least, that is my ambition.
