Sorry for the momentary silence on my end - I've not been too well the last few days.<br/><br/>I can get behind western naming conventions, if that's the more popular choice - and it seems it is. In that case, my wild card will be Akari Kojima (90% settled on the name, but it might change).<br/><br/>Loving all of these examples and ideas. The idea that humanity is being robbed of creativity and drive is quite a powerful one, and image of the singing/song/dancing rebels is a powerful counter-point to that. I'm definitely onboard, though will need to look up who Narly is in relation to the franchise (I only know him by Lovecraft lore). ???<br/><br/>So the premise being that the der Ohrwurm have captured/trapped the Muses and are bringing them low through dark whispers? And with the Muses having physical representations, we could very well have to locate and affect these Muses in the Metaverse, restoring their drive and recognition of creativity and the Arts? Am I reading this right? (I'm still a little brain-addled.)
