"XYLOPHONE TAUNT

Class(es) : Pyro
Basic Description : Pyro playing on a colorful xylophone
Possible Uses : Pyro's addition to the instrument related taunts.
Appeal : Cute and playful. Could be a member of a TF2 taunt band.
Concerns : Xylophone model may be large ( probably no worse than heavy's table flip taunt though )
Taunt Type : Solo
Taunt Duration : Single Use or Looped
Props : Colorful Xylophone ( possibly rainbow or Pyroland colors ) with large matches as the mallets/sticks


Break Down -

Intro Animation : Pyro pulls out a xylophone from hammerspace and places it in front of them.

Main Animation : Pyro plays on the xylophone. Could be something random and doesn't sound like anything in particular ( not an actual song ), somewhat like a young child would do, or could be an actual song ( or at least part of one ). Cute or pyro related songs would probably work best. It would probably be best for pyro to be standing for this taunt, even though xylophones that are designed for those who are standing usually aren't the same ones marketed towards kids. Alternatively, pyro could be sitting down and playing it on the floor, which would also require a smaller xylophone model.

Outro Animation : Pyro slides the match mallets/sticks across the xylophone causing it to go up in flames and disappear. If sitting, pyro will need to get back up.

Anything Else : In Pyroland, many fire effects become rainbows, bubbles, and sparkles ( see the party trick taunt as an example ). This taunt has the opportunity to have decent sized fire effect and would therefore make a nice Pyroland variant as well.


If possible, I would like my share to be split with a friend who helped me with key aspects of this taunt.
