Hi guys, I recorded a dramatic reading of an RP. You can listen if you want? It's all audio. I think it's gonna be pretty fun.
I introduce the project more fully in the following video, but tl;dl the RP is called "The Zodiac Amulets *It Begins!*", it was hosted by Hotaru_Tomoe in 2003, and I found it on an old archive snapshot of Pokeschool. Which I guess makes it of historical value to people who weren't around back then. Yeah, that's what I'll go with.
And this is part 1, which I like to call "Humanesque Goat Thing".
It's just Hotaru's first post, but most of the upcoming parts will cover a handful of posts each. I want to keep them pretty short, though, so I didn't tack any more onto this one.
Hope you enjoy. Part 2 soon.

I was going to make fun of you for sounding like a stuffy english major but then i started lolling way too hard at your Hotaru voice
I picked a good day to work from home.

I know, right? I was going for an uppity tone during the actual narration but in the introduction I was trying for casual, and then I listened to the recording and thought, "Holy shit, I sound like the biggest snob. I am not capable of pronouncing the short 'a' in a way that is relatable to the blue-collar working class."

Your voice vaguely reminds me of DeceasedCrab. Make of that what you will.

Well your voice didn't sound anything like I was expecting. Admittedly, I'm not sure what I was expecting but yeah.

Pt. 2 - Yo Nomle Foam
This one features the first of our three Very Special Guests. Not Swingblade though. That dude isn't very special at all.

I have no idea what kind of accent Hephestus is accenting. It's like a cross between the KFC Colonel and Xerxes.

Pt. 3 - Artemis Will Hlp Me
I took some liberties with the post ordering here, which is why there appear to be two Hotaru posts consecutively. Actually there was a big-ass Gligar_90 post in between them, but I'm just pulling that out and making it part 4 because it's long enough on its own. Besides, I really wanted to end this video with a particular post, because it is my favorite post in the entire RP. God bless Psikeiros, my dear Peruvian friend.

You should take requests for whose RP you read next.
READ LAST BEST HOPE
Also, you can stick a picture in the video at least.

Nah. I figure with no visual element whatsoever, there's no pressure to keep watching that page. So people can just keep the tab open as they play their Pokemon ROMs or whatever. That's what I do anyway.
LBH though? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I am painting while listening and I fucked up a part because I guffawed. I'm going to fail because of you, potato.

Wow, that is absolutely not how I imagined you to sound, Potatoh. Not even a little.

Pt. 5 - [CENSORED]
I rearranged posts again a little, but not so you'd notice. All I did was move a certain post from the middle of the batch to the end, because I really wanted it to be the last one. That way, our two remaining Very Special Guests bookend this segment.

Pt. 6 - Baka Squared
This is just one post, but it's a long post, but it's a short video. The all-consuming tragedy of that one post makes it unthinkable to try to squeeze any others into this part.

No bitter weeping at the end? Pohatu, I am disappoint.
I'd also like to point out that if the word "chest" had been used instead of "box", the Maude post would have just been unfortunate and not... utterly mystifying.
EDIT: Also, I just recalled that Triannual, of all things, is a direct sequel to the Zodiac amulets. Or maybe a gritty reboot? Either way, be sure to note how Garth is a scrawny, kinda gormless teenager whose reaction to a mysterious artifact is in keeping with the typical reactions in the Zodiac Amulet plot. e.g. "Lolwut? ... Cool!" (Also, notice that according to Garth, his amulet turned up some time around 2004 or so)
The RP that ostensibly birthed the modern ORP scene is also inspired by, well, this. Now how's THAT for redeeming an old embarrassment? (Now, if I can just get Maude's voice and personality to ring true...)

Oh good, you've preemptively answered a question I raised in the epilogue. I'm not gonna record a new one though because blahhh too much work.
