Initiation

You need:
* [1]Stealth Mass in high quality form (mp3 128kbps+, CD or vinyl)
* [2]One FourFortyist (the highest ranking FF that you can get your paws on)
* [3]One Wanna-Be FourFortyist (referred to as 'you' below)
* [4]The Wanna-Be's first @440 CD
* [4]Three pillows
* [4]A floor
* [4]Air to breathe (not neccessarily oxygen-rich)

Step 1: Put the three pillows in the shape of an N on the ground. If you have to ask why an N, abort the ritual and do something else with your life, mortal.
Step 2: Seat thyself on one of the pillows. No, not the center one, you idiot.
Step 3: Have the high-ranked FourFortyist seat themselves facing you on the parallel pillow. Make sure you have the same sitting styles.
Step 4: Put [4] - that's your first @440 CD - on the center pillow you nearly sat on.
Step 5: [2] will now switch on [1].
Step 6: BE FUCKING SILENT.
Step 7: [2] hums Elizabeth's Stealth Mass notes - and if you don't know who Elizabeth Gray is, again, perhaps you should rather abort this ritual and go home.
Step 8: Upon completion of the Stealth Mass song, you may look up and, WHILST YOU'RE STILL SILENT, [2] will take [4] - your first @440 CD - and pass it to you. Make sure both your hands are cupped before you.
Step 9: [2] will now recite: " The FourFortyism Cult accepts you, <your fourfortyist name here>, into its ranks. " - then pause. - " Melody. "
Step 10: You humbly reply: " Melody, <[2]'s rank here>. "

You are now an initiated FourFortyist, thus having stepped beyond your mortal status into the ranks of sonic immortality. Welcome to FourFortyism.
