[FST] Regal Beauty
This is my Secret Santa gift for bellzooks over at rivelata. Why is it two days early, you might ask? D: Basically... Saica is going out of town tomorrow evening, and I doubt I'll be able to be on the internet then. (it's just for the weekend, but still! You know how busy I'll be with fam and stuff.)

o1. Sahara (Nightwish)
Heaven has a darkened face
Dunes are soaring, as on a chase
Caravan of the cursed
Chasing him across the waves
(So what is Rivelata? This song may not be a picture-perfect description of the island, but it's pretty darn close, isn't it? Most people see it as an ancient island that most people don't ever wish to discover.)
o2. Pirates (Tori Amos)
Traveled far from my home
Foreign streets paved with stone
Deep in my dreams, Moroccan sand
Now I sail my ship
On dry land
(Fits Rive!Sachiko perfectly, eh? There's... not that much else to say about it, other than it explains how she got here. D:)
o3. Clocks (Coldplay)
Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease?
(Again, this mainly applies to Rive!Sachiko. I imagine, after a while, she'd be stressed about staying in the island and being all "why me? Why can't I leave?")
o4. Lost in Life (Sirenia)
We are lost in this life, you and I
We've been living a lie
Time keeps passing us by, but we can't deny
We've been lost all the time
(Mainly more "why me and why this stupid island" internal emo. idk if she would really be so emo, but eh... it's a pretty song either way?)
o5. The Nicest Thing (Kate Nash)
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars,
Actually I meant three
(... idk! I know Sachiko Hates Men, but I'm sure I read somewhere that she had a relationship like this in Rive with some girl or another. And even if that isn't the case, you've got another pretty song for her. |D)
o6. Across the Universe (Fiona Apple)
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
(I imagine this would be "getting used to Rive" song... and even if it isn't, it just flows well. So there?)
o7. Maneater (Nelly Furtado)
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all!
(Pffft, this one's mainly Sachiko's image + her man-hating ways in canon. Most men, save for Tamaki, prolly wish they'd never met her at all, amirite?)
o8. Princes and Frogs (Superchick)
Coz some frogs will still be frogs
Some dogs will still be dogs
But some boys can become men
Just don't kiss us till then
(And yet, the men are insisting Sachiko should try to understand men... just not when they're young, 'cause most of them are stupid anyway. She's gotta wait until her "frogs" turn into "princes".)
o9. Noble Dolls (Rozen Maiden OST)
Instrumental, but it's a song I think captures Sachiko very well.
10. Relax, Take it Easy (Mika)
There is an answer to the darkest times.
It’s clear we don’t understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you.
I believe that we’re in this together.
Don’t scream - there are so many roads left.
("Hey, even though Rivelata may not be the place you imagined, it's somehow become home, right? This is why, despite the emo, you've gotta relax and enjoy your new life!")
11. Afternoon Tea (The Kinks)
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl
(Do I really need to give an explanation? This is again a "getting used to Rive" song, but mainly? It seems to me like Sachiko really likes her tea. 8D idk what else to say... the song really speaks for itself.)
12. Unspoken (Lacuna Coil)
When your envy is on a piece of paper
Let me sweetly smile
You're devouring all the crumb
I'm leaving caught up in your lies
(Aaaand Sachiko dear's prolly made some enemies too, despite people adoring her. idk how the relationship would go, but the song's pretty cool to hear all the same.)
13. Whisper of the Crystal (Go Shiina, from the Tales of Legendia OST)
An instrumental to finish her OST. It's grandiose and bold, but it's also a piano piece... and to me, I couldn't think of a better way to finish it off.
