Iczer6 proposed this on the Hamerun mailing list : What if Hameln and Co. were in the "real world"?  What kind of jobs would they have?  What lives would they lead?  Would Hameln and Flute get married? What about the Mazoku?  I'll love hearing your thoughts on this.  [By the way you can't take the cheap way out and say Hameln a violinist or Raiel a pianist or Flute's rich.]

• Hamel- con artist.
• Raiel- probably a concert pianist stuck with unrequited love for a movie star he's never met.
• Sizer- movie star.
• Flute- President when she grows up. And girl scout leader. Cookies. ^_^ And she might reform Hamel and marry him.
• Trom- One of those guys at ren fests who buys the un-sharpened swords and has really weird hair.
• Bass and Lute- Puppeteer. ^_^
• Ocarina- Sizer's personal assistant and agent.
• Drum- Redneck.
• Guitar- Terrorist. Or one of those Montana militia guys. Or one of those things in the traveling freak show.
• Clarinet- Did anyone happen to see Monday's "Daily show" on comedy Central? There was a guy who collected memorabilia from all the first ladies and had his own little museum in his house. He also dressed up as one of the first ladies, though he's _not_ a drag queen. That's who Clari would be.
• Corinet- Cheerleader (hey, she's blonde and cute just like my lil sister- who is a cheerleader and a prep and... oh, I've disowned her, don't worry)
• Vocal- he'd make a great lawyer, but he's too, uh, "fashionable" for that. Wrestling would be too fake... Maybe he'd make a great Jerry Springer! Or a vocalist in a punk rock band, you know.
• Oboe- Roadkill. O.o;; (sorry, couldn't resist...)
• Orgel- um... a... clown?

• Percus - Think District Attorney.
• Oboe - The leader of the secret societies that acutally control what's going on around you (Who wouldn't listen to a talking crow?)
• Orgel - Serial killer.
