Roach & Gaz: How?
Soap: I need someone to take the fall.
Ghost, in the distance sounding shocked: Oh my god.
R/n: What did you do?
Soap: I can't tell you, yes or no, no questions asked.
Roach: Why can't you-
Ghost, now angry & disgusted: OH. MY. GOD!!
R/n: Make it 20.
Soap: Done..
{They hear a bunch of stuff fall over and splatter.]
Ghost, horrified: OH MEH GAWD!!.
Soap, gripping R/n by the shoulder: You're a good friend,
Soap, dragging R/n out of the room: I got’em, I got’em LT! Don't worry about it.

05x02 - A Reflection Of Glory
TW: Homophobia in terms of the late 80's.
Pete is back in uniform and is partnered with Malcolm. He's not impressed to be stuck in the middle of a busy market. Malcolm answers a call for a shoplifter so Pete reverses and takes an 'unofficial short cut'.
Jim and Ted smirk as Mike arrives in a new and expensive three piece suit that he'd chosen because he was supposed to be appearing in court. Ted wolf whistles at him. "Look at that, straight out of a shop window!" Mike rolls his eyes and they laugh, "It's very becoming, Michael!" The court case that Mike was due to attend has been put back to wait for psychiatric reports so Frank places him with Ted. "By the way...?" "Yeah?" "...Nothing..." Frank closes the door, shaking his head at Mike's suit. Jim and Ted can't help but laugh.
Pete is further annoyed to walk through a pile of dog dirt as they approach the wine merchants who called in a shop lifter. Mr Malek leads them into the back of his store to an elderly lady he suspects of stealing a bottle of brandy and 200 cigarettes. She claims she did not steal anything and that she is innocent.
Malcolm goes to speak to the mans daughter at the till but finds the shop being robbed by two armed men. He darts behind a display. He's about to call it in as Pete appears. "RAMSEY, DOWN!" Malcolm shouts, dragging him down in time to stop him being shot.
The robbers dive into the back of their getaway car. They get away too quickly for Malcolm to catch them or get the registration. Pete arranges an ambulance and he and Malcolm have a moment.
[Just noticed I've spelt Malcolm's surname the Harry Haines way - pls ignore that!]
Malcolm calls in the armed robbery and Frank reckons it could be linked to two armed robberies on post offices. Frank tells Ted he wants them off the street before they kill someone and sends Ted and Mike to the wine merchants.
June and Ken are patrolling when they're stopped by a man who begs them to come help his friend who has locked himself in the toilets of a gay club and is threatening to kill himself. The owner, Mr Spiro, initially stops them gaining entry and claims the man is highly strung 'you know what these people are like'. June tells him to stand aside or she'll call backup and report to her bosses that Mr Spiro is refusing to allow them access. Spiro steps aside. The club patrons fall silent at the sight of the police beforeJune is dragged towards the toilets. She asks Ken to break the doorway down and they find a man sat on the floor with a knife pointed at his face. June tells him he's under arrest for having an offensive weapon.
Jim's snout, Leroy, is reluctant to help out. He's a taxi driver and after some pressure he suggests a flat on the Drummond Estate - possibly 35 or 36 - as he spotted the men he dropped off had a gun in the back of his car.
Malcolm tells Ted and Mike that the robbers got away with about £600 from the till and they had at least two guns with them. Mike laments the loss of the wine. Ted allows the owner to clear up the broken glass with Malcolm but tells him not to touch anything. Behind the counter Ted finds the bullet cartridge. Pete and Malcolm watch as they go off to the address Jim called in.
Mike and Ted join Jim who has been observing the suspects flat(s). They edge through a crowded alley to hide behind a car.
Christine asks Malcolm and Pete where their shoplifter is. Pete smirks and claims "Haynes must have let her slip away in the confusion."
June stands with her face in her hand as the man from the club toilets is charged with posession of an offensive weapon. The man who originally asked them to help is obviously regetting it. "I didn't know this was going to happen, I thought you were going to help him! He's not a criminal you know!" The man grabs Alec and shouts that 'he can't do nuffin to him!' Alec drops the knife in the struggle and with the threat level, Ken has no choice but to strike the man with his baton to get him back under control. The 'friend' reaches for the knife and June stands on his hand. "Don't make things worse!"
Jim, Mike and Ted watch the flats and spot a suspect leaving one. (I don't know why this screenshot amuses me so much but it really does! It's like the holy trinity.) He tells Jim to stick close to the suspect but to let him lead them to his friends, warning him to be careful. He and Mike will follow in the car.
Jim follows him through the cemetery and Mike and Ted work out that he's heading to the canal so they head through a short cut. Unfortunately the suspect he looks back and realises Jim is following him. Thankfully Ted and Mike spot him in time and speed over to help with Mike's suit getting ruined in the process.
The suspect shouts at his accomplices to wait for him as he struggles to climb the wall. He can't quite reach so uses a canal boat to clambour over to the other side. The suspect drops his bag into the water by accident as he runs but doesn't have time to fish it out. Mike uses the bridge to 'monkey bar' to the other side but ends up falling in a small amount of the water.
Jim manages to catch the suspect and tells Mike that the bag is in the water as he struggles to arrest the man.
The mans accomplices speed off, a novelty horn blast playing as they do. Ted calls it in for uniform to try track the car down.
June tells Pete and Malcolm what happened in the charge room and they snigger about Ken having to hit the man with his truncheon. "You know what they say..." Malcolm muses. "The meek shall inherit." June comes face to face with the man's friend as she returns to custody. She clearly feels bad that it's gotten this far.
Frank tells Pete and Malcolm that Ted is bringing in a suspect of the armed robbery and asks if either of them got a good look at the suspects. Pete says he did and is confident he can identify them. Neither of them saw the driver so can't identify him.
The suspect is forced inside - racially abusing Malcolm in the process. Jim is sent to get Frank as Mike brings in the man's bag. He protests his cuffs are too tight and demands a brief. "I know my rights!" Pete enters the room and tells Frank that he's one of the men who commited the armed robbery that morning. The man falls silent, refusing to speak. Frank opens the mans bag - inside is the shotgun and numerous other weapons. The suspect claims Mike fished the bag out the canal and he's never seen it before in his life. Frank tells him the bag and its contents will be sent to forensics to be dusted for prints before his address is searched with a fine toothcomb before he is charged with attempted murder of two police officers as well as the armed robbery.
The car is spotted by Malcolm at a Texaco garage and he calls it in as he follows. It almost runs people over as it charges through a market. Just in time Malcolm remembers Pete's short cut and speeds through an estate just in time to find the car. In panic, the car crashes into a milk cart. Malcolm runs at the car and grabs a gun from the hand of one and picks up another gun that had fallen out of the car in the crash after cuffing both men together whilst they moan in pain. "You and your mate are nicked." he growls, calling into a visibly relieved Tom that he's apprehended the suspects without any real drama and requests a van to bring them back to the station.
A crowd has gathered to watch what happened and adorable little kid watches Malcolm. "Need any help, Mister?" Malcolm chuckles a little and ruffles the boys hair, telling him it's alright, he's got it under control.

MAL WALDRON & MARION BROWN, Toronto 1987 + 1988
Malcolm Earl Waldron was one of the most prolific jazz artists I ever photographed, recording over 100 albums under his name and over 70 as a sideman. I met him for the first time in 1987, when he was in town for a solo concert and to record a solo record for a label owned by a local music promoter. Born in New York City, he was the house pianist at Prestige Records, and appeared on records by everyone from Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy to Gene Ammons, Kenny Burrell and Teddy Charles. He was Billie Holiday's last accompanist, and after her death played with singer Abbey Lincoln and her husband Max Roach. His playing began to change during this period, but it was a breakdown after a drug overdose in 1963 that really marked a shift in his playing; he had to re-learn music, and his sound took on a minimal, austere style after this. I tried to capture a bit of this when I photographed him for the first time, in a barely furnished room upstairs in the club on Queen Street West where he was playing.
I photographed Mal Waldron again almost exactly a year later, when he returned to the same club with saxophonist Marion Brown. The two had played as a duet on a record in 1985, and their styles mixed together well, with elements of hard bop and free jazz that reflected their own long careers in jazz, though Brown had only started recording as a leader in the late '60s. I didn't give either of them much direction when I took their portraits in the same room where I'd photographed Waldron a year later - a space that had acquired a ragged couch and several other pieces of worn-out furniture since that first shoot. That included a rickety chair that I stood on when trying to get a slightly more elevated view with my waist-level Mamiya camera; I teetered on the chair for a second before it collapsed beneath me, the tubular frame hitting me on the back of the head as I fell. I made sure my camera was OK when the stars cleared, while Waldron and Brown looked on with the same cool gaze and asked "are you alright?"
Saxophonist Marion Brown made his early mark on two classics of free jazz - Archie Shepp's Fire Music and John Coltrane's Ascension. Like Mal Waldron he had an interest in the music of Erik Satie, and spent much of his career living and playing in Europe from the '60s onward. He appeared on Harold Budd's ambient album The Pavilion of Dreams and began painting and drawing a few years before I photographed him with Waldron. I took a few portraits of him alone, and one of them is still among my favorite early portraits - the sort of simple, direct work I was striving to create at the time, though it wasn't the kind of portrait style that was much in vogue. I also took some live shots of Waldron and Brown either before or after both shoots, and one of them ended up in the artwork of the album Waldron recorded here (though you have to squint to find it.) Marion Brown died in Hollywood, Florida after a series of illnesses in 2010. Mal Waldron died of cancer in Brussels in 2002.

Homestuck, page 8,087
[S] Collide.
youtube
Songs used: Creata (Canon Edit) by Seth Peelle, Oppa Toby Style by Toby Fox, Eternity, Served Cold (Canon Edit) by Malcolm Brown, and Heir of Grief by Tensei
Song commentary for Oppa Toby Style:
James Roach:
i love cheers in songs (i edited the cheers into tobys song for [s] collide, and have written them into a few things) so the sword/shield gym theme really does it for me
I JUST VERY SELFISHLY ADDED THESE CHEERS TO AN ALREADY GOOD SONG LMAO
toby had written a really cool song but i wanted to give andrew some hits that were less on the downbeat for the animation so while i was editing the tracks down for length and extending bits here and there i ended up adding them in because i wanted the section to feel hype
Song commentary for heir of grief:
James Roach:
the rest of the edits i did for collide were like… timing things. theres a part at the end where we needed one more bar of hits during heir of grief because one extra thing happens (the part where the condesce gets stabbed is the previous 4 bars copied and edited in)
you might notice this if you're music savvy to the point where you're like wait why is there a 12 bar phrase in an otherwise 16 bar pattern. its because that part wasnt long enough for the animation and andrew suggested asking to re-record it and i was like thatll take too long

04X40 - The Silent Gun
Malcolm attends a call at a house after a report of a disturbance. However upon talking to the complainants he realises it's much deeper. Bailiffs had been trying to force the door of a bedsit open when the man inside released several rounds from a gun, injuring one of the Bailiffs hands. Malcolm questions why he wasn't told that a gun was involved and the middle class woman admits she was rather flustered to find out her tenant had a gun. She also forgot to ask for an ambulance and to mention that the man with a gun is still inside the house, locked in his room on the top floor.
Brownlow has a holiday that he's just about to leave for as news of the shooting comes in. Malcolm has a look up the stairs but there's no movement.
Bob. Tony and Derek get their guns and bullets signed out to them by Brownlow and Derek is assigned negotiator. Brownlow will be the scene coordinator, Bob is to be his runner and the others are back up.
The woman tells Malcolm that his name is 'Dublin' and she assumes he's Irish because of his name but she's never actually spoken to him. He hasn't paid rent for 6 months and is rather reclusive. She's been through all the legal routes to get him out but he won't leave hence the bailiffs being there.
Jim is sent to try and get access to the house opposite to gain an observation point. A crowd gathers despite Yorkie trying to get everyone to go home and stay inside. Bob and Derek take up positions with their guns with Derek making his way into the house.
Derek slowly starts climbing the stairs. He gets outside the room in question without harm and takes a long deep breath in. "Derek, any sign of life?" asks Brownlow. "Just my guts turning over, sir."
Jim couldn't get in the house suggested as an observation point as the woman he encountered freaked out. He's had to go to the next house along and reports a thick curtain over the window in question.
The firearms boss arrives dressed in a suit and is introduced to Brownlow. Soon after a group of armed police arrive and take over from Bob to allow him inside to assist Derek and Charles. The boss of the firearms is awesome and asks for a canteen van to be brought because he's there to make sure everyone is safe and calm and that the job ends in the same way, however long it takes. If it's not and not everyone is alive at the end - he considers that he hasn't done his job.
Yorkie has to deal with an idiot who wants to leave his house and dodge the police to get to the local shop. He refuses to go out the back, even when Yorkie points out that he's likely to get shot! Thankfully Claire's neighbour is a lot more reasonable and agrees to keep out of the way and in the back of her house.
Derek attempts to make contact with the armed police around him. He asks Mr Dublin if he can hear him and is answered by a toilet flush and Ted making his way out of the bathroom.🤣 Derek tries again but Dublin remains silent. Derek tells him that the bailiff is OK and not seriously injured. He asks him to leave the gun in his room and come out for a chat so he can help him with his problems. Dublin doesn't answer and there's no movement inside. He asks for the man's first name and is still met with silence.
Alec reports to Brownlow that the press would like to come nearer. He refuses and tells Alec to nick them if they try it before muttering to Ted that perhaps they should let them through as the only good journalist is a dead one. The middle-class house owner beams at Charles as she tells him that her brother was a journalist for the Telegraph.
Viv shows Brownlow some post addressed to a Mr Lublin from Poland that haven't been collected. She suggests that the name they've been given for 'Mr Dublin' is wrong and that he's 'Mr Lublin' instead. There's also an old rent book in the same name.
Bob pops upstairs. "... Do you speak Polish?" he asks Derek.
Technical Support blunder into the house and ask Derek how he's going. Derek tells them he's asked for an interpreter as there's been no movement or response yet. The armed officer's boss silences them all when he hears movement...
Outside, the canteen van is doing a roaring trade. Taffy asks Claire how you get all the hedgehogs in the world on a single matchbox. Claire has no idea.
The extra we've been talking about, Bryan Jacobs gets to speak in this episode! He says 'not again' and 'he is!' when Yorkie asks him who's winning their game of cards in the back of the police van.
Robin moans about how long it's taking, claiming the sooner it's over the better. Yorkie takes Alec a tea, he pouts because it's not coffee and sends him back to get him a sandwich.
The house owner is starting to get concerned that it won't be over by the time two students she tutors are due to arrive at 8pm. Malcolm and Ken make them all jump - including startling the snoozing Ted - by celebrating as a goal is scored on TV. [Very surprised Brownlow doesn't bollock them given what they're there for!]
Derek gets the interpreter to ask if he'd like a drink, and Mr Lublin continues ignoring them. "Perhaps he's on the wagon." Derek drawls before checking in with the tech guys who tell him there's half an inch to go before their probes are through the wall. "... Let's hope you don't come out behind the wardrobe again." Derek mutters earning himself a glare.
Brownlow talks to the armed officer's boss who tells him it doesn't matter that they've been waiting four hours, he still needs to bring it to a peaceful resolution. Brownlow points out the streetful of people wanting to return to their homes and an MP moaning about overkill.
Yorkie heads to a local shop to buy a packet of biscuits and speaks to the shopkeeper who tells him that he thought the Polish tenant had gone because he hadn't been in for months whereas before he was a regular visitor for his cereal. Yorkie asks if he ever spoke to the man and the shopkeeper says no, there was no point. He's deaf.
Outside the crowd are getting moody and wanting to return to their homes. One man in particular tries to push his way through Alec. He gets rough and ends up getting bundled into a police van to calm down. Another old lady reports her rice pudding that she left on a low flame might be about to spoil so Taffy is sent in to turn it off!
Brownlow speaks to the armed officers and explains that he's deaf and claims that they've wasted time trying to speak to him. The armed officer points out that if he's heard nothing he's more dangerous as he'd panic and fire at them in shock. The police dog barks at Charles as the man walks off like he's telling him off 🤣
Ted goes over to relieve Jim who has needed a pee for an hour. He reckons they should have gone in as soon as they were in place and took him by surprise and the job now has too much heavy thinking.
Tech are now going for their third set of holes after the last set also didn't work. Derek points out it could be a wall-to-wall bookcase but the man insists he knows it'll be right that time. The heat monitor is also not helping as what is seen could be body heat or also could be a fire! "When you join up those once little holes you'd drilling we can lift the roof up and have a look, can't we!?" Derek snarks.
Taffy tries to get into the house of the old lady and ends up breaking the window of her back door as everything else is locked. He's in the wrong house as he's confronted by two men and finds no rice pudding on the stove.
With no further movement, the officers prepare to go in with a police dog. The armed officers and a light are prepared and Viv asks the lady to stay where she is. They break the door in and push through a barricade to get the dog in before pushing in themselves. Inside they find the dog sat beside the old man who has literally curled into a ball with his hands over his head. The gun is on the bed.
With everything resolved and the old man arrested, the specialist forces leave. Derek and the suspect are mobbed by the press. Jim and Ted watch on in silence with Ted turning to Jim.
".... So what was the score?"

I'm a Saints fan. The Saints have a defensive tackle named Malcolm Roach. I randomly caught his name on the back of his jersey a moment ago, and it got me thinking.
I'm feeling an American football AU outline coming on. Things have changed since my ice hockey AU.

The Bill: Series 4 Starting Titles
Nice to be away from the posterised look of series 2 and 3. It's always interesting who they choose to be featured in the titles. Surprising to see Mal there when he's new this series, and Ken hadn't done a lot up to this point.

[S] John: Play haunting piano refrain.
[tell me if the track doesn't work]
Released August 9, 2009 by Kevin Regamey and Malcolm Brown The first ~50 seconds were used for this flash. Well that was a nice interlude. Showtime is such a memorable song, it appears later in different tracks, making it John's theme. Thanks to the Unofficial Homestuck Collection, some tracks even have the artist commentary! That's great, I'll be able to comment on it. Also, piano fingers go weeee~
Kevin Regamey: To be honest, I've fallen off the MSPA train pretty hard. This has undoubtedly been the busiest year (or two) of my life, and I am only now returning to reacquaint myself with what the heck is up.
Maaan if only I got more curious, I could have discover Homestuck way earlier. That wouldn't have change the fact that it already ended (or was about to) by the time I discovered Undertale first (back in 2016). Must have been wild to have experienced MSPA during its inception and golden age. That thing huge, so I understand it can be hard to keep up especially when you get off the train a while ago.
Malcolm wrote the chiptune version of Showtime first. I heard it, dug it, and created a piano arrangement just for the hell of it. Like Malcolm has said - earlier on, we didn't necessarily know what we were writing for, so we just wrote whatever spoke to us.
Creative process can be so various and unique from one person to another. They didn't really know in which direction or for what they were writing, but they did anyway. And the chiptune version came first! Crazy.
Tell me your secret guys, please 🥺
I had posted a "Work in progress" version to the music boards, and I received some positive feedback. Positive enough for me to elaborate it into a full piece.
Fuck yeah, MSPA really did sound awesome! Too bad it closed. I mean we've got MSPFA, but I bet for veterans it doesn't feel the same. Is there a similar platform currently existing? Like you post a wip and you got feedbacks then it motivated you to post the full work? No no I'm not talking about Deviantart, been there, done that. Twice. Twitter doesn't showcase art properly, and Tumblr isn't much for like and positive feedbacks, if any feedback really ToT I have put some of my fan art here, but how to get people interacting with it? That'd always been a mystery to me.
As luck would have it, Andrew was finishing up the first playable page of Homestuck just as I posted the full version. As such, I was lucky enough to have the honour of first musical appearance in Homestuck,
Giga chad energy, what a winner!
but most of the credit should certainly go to Malcolm - for defining John musically at such an early stage of the game, and for being the sole inspiration behind this track.
Man, don't discredit yourself! You still did great, you're on the podium even if you're not first place. Yeah, having the skill and honor of defining a character theme is on a different level. But horizontally I would say. There's pride on both. If the chiptune version is well-known and catchy, the piano one is an iconic powerful track, mixing nostalgia, aimless yearning and tenderness. So much emotion that left a mark in each of us. Later to be magnified by the organ pipe version, by da man, James Roach.
Oh, side note: My midi keyboard was misbehaving when I wrote this, so every note of the piece was clicked into a sequencer. D:
I'm not familiar with such programs, but putting them one by one sounds like hell. Rip x) —>
