((Hi!
So… we just met Aeiou.))
“So, Aeiou — is that how you pronounce it? — what started your interest in technology?”
((first post?))
((Where IS everybody??))
((I’m here!))
((So am I!))
Hee hee new thread.
Reluctantly hands over virtual choklit fine to PoPoPo.
((Ooookay… then why doesn’t somebody continue the story? I don’t want to seem bossy or anything. Or a control freak))
((I can’t think of anything. Again.))
((Neither can I! Anyone?))
((pweez?))
((May I join? Or would it be better to wait since you’re in the middle of the story at the moment?))
((NO, please join!))
“Kokonilly!” I whispered, giving her an elbow-nudge,
Then I stammered “Oh Great And Mighty Aeiou, I’m honored to be in your presence.”
AVALONGIRL:
I ran up to the attic—and fainted.
Something whooshed past me. “What was what?” I asked Aeiou.
Crraw replied, “I think it’s your friend Avalongirl.”
((Can I join? Last time I looked at Muse Scouts was before it was an RPG!))
((14 – Same here. The Muse scouts are in Urania’s tower, right?))
((Yep! Encountering muses…and anyone who joins will be welcomed by me with 99999999999999999999999999 tons of virtual choklit for reviving this storyline a little! ))
“Where is she going? Oh, and, is this Urania’s home, or all of the Muses’s?”
“Urania’s, I do believe. And I guess that they are having some massive family reunion…or council…or general assembly of some sort…Let’s ask…”
*jumps in* “Hello, everyone! I have just joined Muse Scouts! Nice to meet you! So, what are we doing in Urania’s tower?”
“We’re speaking to Aeiou!”
“And Crraw!”
I hurriedly join the group. “Hi, sorry I’m so late…” I drift off, distracted by the interesting surroundings. I can’t believe I’m actually in Urania’s tower!
“Aeiou! Awesome! I love computers! You are awesome, Aeiou! And Crraw, I love your poems! They make me laugh. This is awesome!”
((May I join?))
((PLEASE do. The plot is dying… dying…))
((We can’t of anything. Earthquake, anyone?))
((Okay. Earthquake it is.))
Suddenly, the floor shook. I nearly fell over and grabbed onto a table for support. Aeiou let out a little shriek and toppled over on her platform shoes.
I heard a rumbling from outside. Giant boulders were headed straight for us!
“EVERYBODY OUT!!!” I yelled, my leadership skills kicking in. “COME ON, PEOPLE, MOVE IT, MOVE IT!” Once I was satisfied, I too traipsed down the stairs. Aeiou was struggling. I helped her down the stairs, then yanked her out of the way when — RUMBLE. The boulder narrowly missed us but took a good chuck out of Urania’s tower! “Oh, Urania’s gonna be mad when she sees this…” I mumbled.
“Sees what?” I heard behind me.
“Sees the Tower fall down!” I shouted. “Why would I?” Said the voice. It was Urania. “I’m sure that whomever is responsible for knocking this down… *coughchadcough* …Will gladly rebuild it!” She turned, to see Aeiou frantically waving her sleeves, Craww by her side. “Aeiou says she’s very sorry. She says she has no idea her experiment with Chad would do this!”
“Okay,” I said, mollified. “Glad you won’t be mad.”
“And who might you be?” Urania frowned and glanced at our little party. “Muse Scouts?” She chuckled at the thought.
“Actually, yes.” She abruptly stopped laughing. “We’re all MuseBloggers.”
“Really?” She said, shocked, “The Muse Scouts got all the way up to my Observatory?”
“We’re not sugarplums.” I said defiantly. “Although we do have a delicious sugaplum pie! Care to buy one? Only five dollars!” *SPLAT*
I tried my hardest to refrain from giggling as I watched Urania clear pie from her face. After she had finished removing cream from her eyelids, she turned to me and asked, “This was one of Chad’s experiments?”
I could only nod.
The earthquake threw off my balance; I hoped no one was watching as I stumbled clumsily out of the tower. “Are you okay, Aeiou?” I asked, noticing her stumbling too. She waved her sleeves; Craaw translated the dance as “I am fine, thank you; it would take more than that to do in a Muse!”
I gasped as Urania got pied, but then I couldn’t resist giggling. I heard someone else snicker and turned to find Kokopelli next to me. “Kokopelli!!! Wow, hi, I’m a big fan of yours,” I gushed.
“Isn’t everyone?” Kokopelli replied distractedly, still chuckling over Urania’s pie-splattered face. “Nice work, Muse Scouts!”
“Hi, Kokopelli! I’m partially named after you. I’m Kokonilly.” I quickly donned my pieproof suit, then held out my hand.
((Gah! I leave for a week, and a huge boulder falls on people!))
SERAFINA:
I very quickly whooshed out of the tower, and threw on Kokopelli-proof gloves. While dragging the fainted AvalonGirl. “A little help here??!!” I yell, seeing as another giant boulder is coming STRAIGHT FOR ME!!!!!!
…Then I totally freaked out.
Can I join?
“Muse Scouts…” Urania Tsked. “You people are practically the Kokopelli Fan Club! Why don’t I get a Fan Club! I want a Fan Club! Give Me A-” Urania stopped abruptly, as she was hit on the face by a banana cream pie, thrown by Koko. “Urania can drone on a bit, can’t she?” He said, merrily.
I follow everyone outside, stuffing all of the statues we found inot my pie cart, hoping they aer washable. I arrrive just in time to see urania pied by kokopelli. I clumsily shove my pie cart over to kokopelli, bowing and saying reverently, “plese take as many pies as you want! if it werent for you, I would be selling dounuts!” then I glance at Urania, hoping she wont be insulted. she is.
“I hate all you Muse Scouts! All of you whom support me over Kokopelli, move over here!” She marched off. Meekly, I followed her, waving to the others…
I stood, undecided. Finally I joined Aeiou where she was standing. “Neutral,” I call out.
SERAFINA:
“I’m sorry…but I like pieing people.”
I marched over to stand with Kokopelli, dropping AvalonGirl. Luckily, she was waking up. “Zinc! You coming?”” I yelled.
AVALONGIRL:
I pushed myself up and then realized what Urania had just said.
“oh, cake.” I muttered.
Then I walked over. “To make sure I don’t have to suffer extreme injuries-” I shot both Bookworm and AvalonGirl a look– “I’m siding neutral.”
I join Aeiou. “Neutral again. But I also love software.”
((38 – Sure!))
I freeze. How can I possibly choose just one Muse to support? Now I know how Paris felt when he had to choose just one out of three equally stunning goddesses. “Okay, why should I choose you over Kokopelli?” I ask Urania. “Or you over Urania, Kokopelli?”
“You should choose me because I’m logical!” Said Urania, after a moment’s thought, “Kokopelli is a lunatic who loves senseless violence! I, on the other hand, am an honest, logical, and clever person! Choose me, please!”
“Um..” I looked over at Leafygreen. She was looking a little flustered, too. “Sorry, Urania. We don’t do it because we support Kokopelli, we do it because the Muse scouts before us did it. We follow tradition. And we don’t know why they did it.” I said. Leafygreen nodded. “So, Zinc and I are going to stand over by… that rock. We do not belong to any Muse’s fan club. We like them all equally.” Leafygreen said. Then we hurried over and stood by the rock. “We are the real neutrals!” I yelled.
“Uh-oh.” I said. “It appears we have 2 battles, 2 sides each: Kokopelli vs. Urania, and neutral vs. neutral.”
“WHAAAAT?!” we said incredously to Kokonilly. “We are not battling the other neutrals. We just think it’s a little more… reasonable not standing next to any Muse. I mean, Urania could get the idea that you’re the “Aeiou fan club”or “crraw fan club.” I explain. “OOPS.” I say when Urania started glaring at the other neutrals.
“WE’RE NOT! WE’RE NOT!” I say hastily. “I’m jut saying, Aeiou’s more entertaining than a rock… but, I mean, we’re just taking a third-party perspective. We’re not in a fight. At least, I hope not,” I say, glancing at Urania. I continued. “We are NEUTRAL.”
“Um, I don’t mean contradict you, Kokonilly, but we each other. And- ” I grabbed Leafygreen before she said anymore and told her not to make war with the other neutrals.
“We are NEUTRAL, and I really do not want any war at all.”
((Hehe…Urania’s more egoish then I imagined her…but it fits!))
“War is bad. Wars kill people and that is bad. I think we should all just be nice to each other and go about our business nicely?”
My voice kind of petered out as the two un-neutral Muses stared at me.
“Good idea!” Mimi came in. “Oh..what’s going on here? It looks like people are ….taking…sides? Oh dearie me!”
“Stay out of this, Mimi!” Said Urania. “You know what happens when you interfere! Remember what happened to Devil…” Mimi shed a tear and slowly walked away. After a while she stopped, and stood alone, silently…
“Mimi, would you like to stand next to us?” I say tentativly. “Not that we’re your fan club or anything…” I finish hurriedly.
I quietly moved closer to Mimi, figuring that, as the muse of getting along with people, she would be the best ally in a fight.
“Why not vote for ME?” A scary voice boomed suddenly, seemingly from out of nowhere. I jumped as a ghostly figure materialized in the center of the group. “Boo!” I exclaimed. What was the Muse of scary stuff ((see Muse Academy RPG 1)) doing here? “You are not a true Muse, Boo! Why are you here?” Urania demanded.
“Yipe!” exclaimed Leafygreen, and she hid behind me. “No one ever said I could’nt come to Kokonino Kounty!” “He’s right, ya know.” said Kokopelli. “And now, Muses and Musers, you will all pay for what Larry Gonick did! BRUHAHHAHA!!!!!”
((Boo said the second and fourth sayings.))
AVALONGIRL:
“Waitaminute!” I yelled, and ran behind Kokonilly pushing her in front of me, muttering “Why did I have to come on this trip? Me and my stupid intellect. I should off just read a book…” and so on and so on.
SERAFINA:
I sneaked behind AvalonGirl, and stole her book.
I then proceeded to become deeply engrossed in it.
Since I’m homeschooled, and had no idea what everyone was talking about.
((Sorry, but I never liked Muse Academy much!))
“What? Where are you taking me?” I shrugged Avalongirl off and walked away. “Exactly how many sides are there, anyway?” Mimi piped up. “Five?”
AVALONGIRL:
“Either infinity, 5, or 27. Who knows?” I answered. “And, knowing my luck, a giant custard pie is going to fall on all us neutrals. And the Uranias get ice cream and brownies and cake rolls.”
“Then wouldn’t the Kokopellis get starfruit and cotton candy and fruit? And veggies?” Serafina piped up.
((I’m reading a Larry Gonick book in real life! The Cartoon History of the United states!))
“Boo!” I said, sneaking up behind him. “Go!” “Away!”
being new to muse scouts, I had never heard of Boo! I hide behind my pie cart and hope noone notices me “you- behind the pie cart” Urania orders. too late. “which is your favorite muse? it had better not be that lazy stick figure kokopelli!” “um…..” I stammer, terrified. “oh calm down urania! and have a pie! we all know that PIE vendors will support the muse that INVENTED PIE throwing! wont you, Pie Vendor?” Urania was shooting me wicked glares and Kokopellie was nonchalantly tossing a “mostly Harmless” pie from hand to hand. “um…. actually…..” I stammer “I like bo” “that unorganized longhorn! ((latest muse issue on charlie goodnight))” explodes urania, and kokopeli launches his pie. I duck and it hits Aeiou. I run to stand by the rock untill Bo appears.
“Moooo! Did I hear my name?”
“Oh no! The neutrals have been stricken!” I yelped.
Boo jumped as Bookworm startled him, then disappeared in a huff because she had managed to scare the muse of scary stuff.
“Um….um….is this a pie war? I side with Kokopelli then!” I decide finally, hurrying to his side to avoid the pies I’m probably about to be bombarded with.
“Eccentric, there are four sides. Or five. Urania, Kokopelli, Aeiou (neutral), Rock (neutral), and Mimi (neutral).”
“Mooo! I’m here too!” said Bo.
so now there are KOKO, Urania (main sides), and Aeiou, mimi and rock (neutaral) and Bo who is random. “yay! bo!” I exclaim and race ofer t the random muse! I almost trip over an amber statue of the muse of random factoids. “I think this belongs to you” I say reverently, although for some (not me) it may be hard to revere a cow
“Are you neutral?” I asked Bo.
Urania scoffed. “There are so many neutrals at this point that they could make their own war.”
“Oh, no! I don’t want any war!” yelled Mimi. “How about we settle this like normal people and –”
“WAR!” yelled Kokopelli, throwing a concrete-and-golf ball pie at Urania.
“No, no, NO, NO!” shrieked Mimi, stepping into the line of fire and immediately getting hit with a pie.
((Serafina’s engrossed in a book. Until anyone involves her, she will stay there.))
AVALONGIRL:
I threw a pot pie at Eccentric. “I side with Aeiou,” I said loudly. “Don’t kill me, please…” And was smacked by (insert random number here) custard pies!
“Pies! Urania, let’s make a tactical retreat!” I screamed. “Very well.” She said, and we began to run…
SERAFINA:
I threw down the book. “GET THEM!!!” I yelled, leading a charge after the Uranias with cotton candy, fruit, and veggie pies. And, very ironically, starfruit pies.
AVALONGIRL:
Well, my prediction came true…somewhat… I thought, as all other neutrals were hit by (insert random number here) custard pies.
Bo just stood there eating grass and ignoring the frutly and “mostly Harmless” carnage enssuing around him. I hid behind my pie cart and hoped I looked as carefree as bo. I knew I didnt. when a stray rasberry pie hit bo then bounced off and hit my pie cart, he just said, “did you know that rasberries are covered in tiny little hairs that are attatched to the seeds inside?” I shook my head and then closed my eyes and threw a pie, hoping it hit urania, and if it did, I would say, I couldnt see to aim and it got knocked out of my hand by the rasberry pie. it worked. As Uraina turned around, ready to yell at someone, I shmeared whiped cream in my eyes and sat down behind my cart. Urania continued her tactical retreat.
((Um, earthgirl or whoever you are on MS, you got pied with custard pies too. You’re a neutral.))
((Um, where’s
Pie Wars, 2008.1?
Can someone give me the link?))
((76 – https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1378 ))
((It’s called World of Piecraft! This isn’t it!))
Urania and I ran as fast as we could…
SERAFINA:
“I’ll get you yet, Bookworm!” I shout, the wind whipping my face. I threw a homing pie.
AVALONGIRL:
“Yum……” I murmured, slowly pushing myself up.
The pies must of knocked me out! I thought. I wildly looked around. Kokonilly was already up, but TRPV wasn’t! “REVENGE!” I yelled loudly, dumping hot custard on her!
I was hit by a homing pie. I turned, waved bye to Urania, and rushed back, throwing several key lime pies towards Serafina!
SERAFINA:
I jumped all key lime pies, and continued running (but in an erratic), throwing one homing pie after another!
((Yikes, I haven’t checked this thread in awhile!))
I didn’t notice Avalongirl’s pie in time to dodge. “Thth th rlhyl gd, akthle!” I enthused through a mouthful of pot pie, meaning This is really good, actually! Once I wiped the rest of the pie off my glasses, I saw that Kokopelli had already sent a pie back and was now attacking Urania and the neutrals with more custard treats. I grabbed a custard pie of my own and threw it randomly. It ended up hitting Earthgirl’s pie cart. “Sorry!” I called. “Don’t apologize to the enemy!” Kokopelli interrupted, shoving another custard pie at me. “Just throw and run!”
“But… but… we’re NEUTRAL!” I stammered. Crraw squawked, “This would be a good time to run!”
All of the neutrals sped away.
“Get them, you weaklings!” Kokopelli screamed from somewhere to my left.
I pulled my pie cart from out of nowhere at all and started flinging Sooper De-Pooper Punkin Holming Pies randomly in the air. They skewed in random directions, hitting several of the retreating neautrals in the backs and catching Bookworm and Eccentric the Afterthought straight in the face.
“Whoops!” I cried. “S-sorry, I, uhm… truce?” But it was too late. Random pies from all directions splatered me with various shades of fillings. For my life, I ran away from Koko and sprinted after the neutrals in a frenzied scamper.
“But… but… we’re NEUTRAL!†Kokonilly stammered. Crraw squawked “This would be a good time to run!â€
And so I ran, doing flips and various gymnastics moves to escape all the pies. I did a one-handed handstand, whirling my body, and changed it into a triple backwards somersault. And all the time I was chattering in Pig Latin.
SERAFINA:
“Thanks, Agrrrfishi!” I called jokingly. “You got Bookworm for me!” I jumped, did a quadruple somersault forward in midair, throwing pies all the way.
I continued running, thinking, “What makes all our journeys pie wars?”
“A truce would be good…” I agreed with Earthgirl as I gave up trying to polish my smeary glasses with an equally pie-soaked shirt. “…how do we establish one?” I continued as I retreated with the neutrals, dodging pies as the battle raged on around us.
SERAFINA:
“Ookworm-bay, ey-thay aren’t-ay always-ay ie-pay ars-way…enever-whay e-way eet-may Okopelli-kay, hey-tay are-ay!” I yelled back, giving up on Bookworm and flinging homing pies at him.
((TRANSLATION:
Bookworm, they aren’t always pie wars…whenever we meet Kokopelli, they are!))
AVALONGIRL:
“Eccentric,” I said, “Kokopelli won’t let us have a truce. He likes pies too much.”
And with that, I pied Kokopelli. With a Everything pie.
“I can’t help it!” I cried, furiously flinging a pie at Kokopelli and his troops. “We can’t just LET them pie us! We have to do something!”
“But we’re Neutral, Agrrrfishi!” I spluttered, doing a quadruple backflip.
“Just throw homing pies and RUNNNN!!!!” I screamed loudly, throwing 500,000,000,000 homing pies at any non-neutral person. Not each, though…
“Hey, I was on your side!” I sputtered through a mouthful of fresh pie which Kokopelli had just thrown directly at me.
“Sides? I never wanted you to take sides, I just wanted to start a pie war!” Kokopelli answered gleefully as he flung a pie at Bo.
Kokopelli was hit by my 200 homing pies. I sprinted, knowing some people were not very happy with me right now…
I quickly threw a pie, taking a furtive glance around to make sure that nobody was watching. “It’s so hard to be neautral when I can’t defend myself”, I sighed, hitting Eccentric the Afterthought in the face with a fresh banana cream, then making a break for it.
I slipped on a glob of banana cream as even more of it hit me in the face. At least it’s fresh, I thought, licking my fingers as I hopped around until I regained my balance. “Retaliation!” I smiled as I nailed Agrrrfishi in the back with a handy key lime pie.
Eccentric was hit by some slightly late 1000 homing pies. I smiled.
I ducked behind a rock. “Please don’t pie me, please don’t pie me…”
I threw a Pie at Kokopelli!
“Don’t worry, Kokonilly, I thew 500 billion homing pies, and they’re going at any non-neutral peoples.”
As I finished commenting, I was hit by a pie. I looked around, and realized Bookworm had thrown it. I didn’t worry, though, as Bookworm was swiftly hit by 500 Mostly Harmless flavored homing pies.
“OWOWOWOW!” I cried, whirling around to find a key lime splattered across my tunic and Eccentric behind me, with an evil grin and looking verrrrry guilty. “Oh, it’s ON! ” I cried, forgetting, my neautralness and flinging holming pie after holming pie at Eccentric.
“Okay…” I squeaked. “Hiding… I’ll keep hiding… don’t pie me…” I mumbled.
“Don’t worry, Kokonilly”,m I said loudly, slinging cherry-and-golfball pies hand over hand just as fast as I could. “You’ll be just fine. In the meantime, though, I’M going to pie some peeps!”
“Thank you, Agrrrfishi,” I say nervously. “How ’bout we make a completely separate alliance?”
“Okay”, I said, “but first I have to completely pie Bookworm.” I threw one last pie at the enraged bloggers across the field, who began to fire at me as rapidly as was muserly possible. “Ack-thbbth!” I cried as I was pied again. “Take cover!” I ducked behind the rock with Kokonilly, screaming like a little girl.
Ahrgggg!!!!!
I was caught in the midle of a pie war ((after being on the cape without a computer for about 4 days))
I set up the perimeters with regular pie refill stations and then retreat to bo, who is starting to loose some of his cool, after6 y4b90eenol;-0p((sorry, my cat is just learnint to type))being hit with several homing pies. I begin a deffensve battle
I just screamed as loud as I could, as high-pitched as I could, like the little girl so many of my classmates told me I am/was. “Let’s get outta here!” I screamed. “Whaaat?” Agrrrfishi yelled. “I’m deaf from your incessant racket!” “Sorry about that!” I yelled. “LET’S GET OUTTA HERE!” I yelled again.
“Quick!” I cried. “There’s a conveniently placed cave over in the mountains! There!” I pointed my finger at a high cliff not too far away! “Ruuuuuuuuun!”
We ran. We ran and ran and ran… until WHAM! “Uh, Kokonilly, that’s the wall of the cave. You can stop running now.”
“I kind of noticed,” I say fuzzily, and pass out.
I shamefully (appear) dessert ((ha ha get it? because pies are desserts?
that was lame)) Bo and hide behing my pie cart gradually wheeling myself towards the wreck of the house. untill I get behind Kokopelli. them I jump up to sit on my pie cart, instantaniously pressing a small button labeled “transform” suddenly, my innocent looking pie cart transformed into a giant pie throwing robot!!!!! “yaaaa-hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I cry gleefully, as I rise up to the topp of the robot and begin to tell it to fling “mostly harmless” pies at kokopellie and Urania, gradually incrasing their size untill both muses and most of their supporters were buiried in whipped cream and cherry filling. ((that was FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! and anyone can feel free to burst out of the giant pies intent on revenge!! that would be FUNNER!!! please note that I have nothing personal against any of the muses or muse scouts and am just trying to make things interesting))
Leafygreen and I screeched to a halt. My green eyes conected with Leafygreen’s brown ones. We nodded. Then we jumped into the pile of pie and buried ourselves in it. No one noticed. ((And I mean NO ONE!!!! ))
Having been buried under both Avalongirl’s and Arrgfishi’s homing pies, I took advantage of the gigantic mound of pie glop covering me and started tunneling in it, slowly carving out a fort.
“Kokonilly?” I cried, shaking her furiously. “Kokonilly, wake up!” I searched desperately for a bucket of cold water ,but there was no such luck. Instead, I grabbed an Icee-flavored pie and slapped her(gently) in the face with it.
I tasted blue raspberry Icee. “Whaaaaaaaa?” I ask.
“You passed out,” Agrrrfishi said gently. “Are you feeling okay?”
“About as okay someone can get having just been pied with an Icee pie,” I said groggily, but I grinned. “We avoided the pie war, so what do we do now?”
I popped my head out. “We go into the cave and- yipe!” I ducked out of sight when I saw a pie coming to me.
“Ackthbbth!” I got hit with about twenty banana creams, all stacking up in a large horizontal splat of pie plates on top of me. “Help!” I saw, from the bottom of the cliff where the cave was, an advancing line of bloggers bearing pies, and at their front: the infamous Kokopelli, grinning and clutching an incriminating banna cream like the ones now piled on me. “What are we going to do?!?!” cried Kokonilly, looking frantically around the cave. “There’s nowhere to hide! THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE!”
“Don’t panic!” I cried,, wiping the debris off my tunic with a fierce swipe. “Come on, Leafy, Koko, let’s go find someplace else to hide.” I stood up, peering around the small cave. Then, I saw a hole in the roof of the cave. “Comeon”, I said, hoisting Leafy and Zinc up into the hole. “We can keep moving upward.”
I continue to pie chaos from my random pie cart-turned-robot, but kokopelli seems to have escaped. I tell the robot to home in on him and het him with a GINEORMUS BANNANA CREAM PIE!!!!!!!
this gives Koko, leafy and Zink some time to climb into the hole without getting pied again “good luck!” I cry, not sure if they can hear me over the melee.
((My house had no internet access for a few days.))
AVALONGIRL:
I screamed loudly. “AvalonGirl, shut up!!” someone hissed.
“Sorry…”
I practically flew up the hole, into a small cave. I laughed nervously. “How long should we stay here?”
SERAFINA:
I stood right next to Kokopelli, hurling banana cream homing pies into the cave. I knew something was wrong, though, when they stopped at the cave entrance..
I started climbing frantically, and stopped screaming when Agrrfishi shushed me, whispering “If they can’t hear us, they can’t find us”
((117- You keep on speling my name wrong. It’s spelled with a C, not a K.))
116-((WE WEAR TUNICS IN THIS WORLD??!! NOOO WAYYYY!!!!(that means I don’t like it. I’ll wear a tunic in the Redwall world, and only there.)))
I started running through all the ways of escape mentally, all the ones that would not get us hit with banana cream pies.
I shushed Kokonilly at the same time Aggrifishi did, and lost my balance!
To me, it seemed like an eternity before I finished falling. Then I just didn’t care anymore…
((121-You don’t have to, I just like tunics personally. ))
“No! Avalongirl!” I hissed, trying to grasp her hand as she fell through the open hole. But it was too late. She tumbled through and fell with a thump to the floor of the cave below. I pulled Kokonilly along with me so that we were the farthest possible away from the opening. Down below, I could hear the enemy scuffling around the cave. “Oh, please let them not see her…” I begged silently, and hoped against hope that nobody had seen or heard Avalongirl. But our luck was running out.
((120-sorry 121- they don’t wear tunics in redwall silly! they wear habits! they are a holy order! 122- me too! wait- enemy? which one? the worst they can do is pie you, and you were having fun with that on the messa))seeoing people suddenly dissapear inot a cave made me curious, so I shrunk the robot to a pie-proof suit instead. I followed Kokonilly, ZinC, and the others into the cave and up the hole
((123-Are you on our team or Kokopelli’s?))
((I’m on Bo’s team, which is to say, am random and go wherever seems most interesting. currently, that is with you people in the cave. so yes, you coud say I am on your team. at least for no-ow! mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!))
I scuffle around in the cave ((ha ha!)) and see avalongirl. I hear gasps from above, and gently pick her up and pass her through the hole up into the upper cave. someone takes her and presumable sets her down. I follow her up and say, “I hope I didnt freak youout. this suit makes a lot of noise.” with that I compress mu suit into a squareish backpack and look around expectantly. “so, where are we going?”
“For now, we’re not going anywhere. Just look down there!” I pointed through a sall crack in the side of the natural cave, that looked in a bird’s eye view into the cavern below. We could clearly see five bloggers, all independant and carry tons of pies, headed by Eccentric and Bookworm. “Oh, no! “, cried Leafy, looking down with us. How are we going to get out of here?” As if it was a bad omen, a single SPLAT came from below. “They’re in here”, said a voice that echoed up to us. “These pies are fresh. Come on, let’s find them. They can’t stay hidden for long.”
Eccentric threw a pie. “They’re in hereâ€, I said to Bookworm. “These pies are fresh. Come on, let’s find them. They can’t stay hidden for long.â€
((Banana cream;
custard,
cotton candy,
pure sugar;
MuseBlog pies,
And a few homing pies.))
I carefully edged my way over to the back of the small cave, praying and hoping against hope that they wouldn’t spot the small hole lingering right over their heads. We were unarmed, as far as I could tell, and things didn’t look good for the neutral battlers.
I heard Kokonilly shaking, and, knowing how much she didn’t like pies, I let her have my corner of the cave, the one farthest from the small hole in the ceiling. Then, all we could do was wait for a sign that we were going to be all right.
I decided to go back to the ruined observatory. It was quiet. I sat down and pulled out a book…
((129-Wait, where are you?))
((I was in the middle of the pie war, but I left…))
I started shivering at the thought of the pies soon to come and Agrrrfishi, noticing, let me have her corner. I smiled gratefully and scooted right up against the wall. Suddenly, I fell down some sort of chute. “AAAAAGHHHH!!!”
“Wuh-oh…” I watched Kokonilly fall down the chute and quickly crawled over as quietly as possible. I spoke down the large chute-“
((Ooops-accidentaly posted too soon… ))
I spoke down the large chute- “Kokonilly? Where are you? Are you all right?”
“I…I’m fine” she said. “But this cave is covered in pies! It’s like a little storage room or something!
“Stay right there!” I said excitedly. “We’re coming down.” Then, I whispered to the others, “Nilly found a storage room. Let’s follow her.” The rest of us followed her down the slippery chute. I was the last to go, and I fell down the black rock chute until I fell SPLAT onto an enormous pie. “Wh-what is this place?” I asked.
I had woken up from my faint. Yeah, somehow, I had fainted…I sealed off the hole that was in the floor with cement pies.
I jumped down into the chute. “No idea.” I pulled out my shake-ready flashlight and my laser ring, turned both on, and handed laser rings to everyone else.
“Thanks”, I said, hoisting my lazer ring into the air. “Now let’s grab some weapons and try to make our way out of here. I wonder if there’s an exit somewhere…” As I spoke, I was cut off by a loud bang from over our heads. By the sound of it, someone had taken an exploding pie and thrust into the ceiling of the cave we had just been in. If we had still been up there, we would have been discovered for sure. “Quick”, Zinc whispered. “We’ve got to go. It’s only a matter of time before they find the chute, too.” Everybody nodded, and we held our rings up for more light. “Now”, I said, “let’s look for an escape tunnel. We have to hide ourselves.”
I quietly accepted my laser ring and held it tightly as I felt a large BOOM overhead. I squeaked a little and backed up straight into a looooooooooong tunnel. “Whee!” It was like a waterslide. Wait, it was a waterslide…
“Kokonilly?” I asked, hearing her squeak. Then there was a loud gush of water and a strange whooshing noise as Kokonilly was washed down a tunnel that looked like some sort of waterslide. “Well, I guess Koknilly found our next way out!” I said. “Come on, let’s go.” Then, I braced myself for the water. ‘I hope this tunic is waterproof’ I thought to myself. Then I was slipping down a long chute that twisted and turned at every angle. I could hear everyone else screaming and whooping as we traveled down the slide. “Whoopeeeee!” I cried as a huge gust of water engulfed me in a turn. And then, things went terribly wrong.
((138 – DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! ))
((Instead of something going terribly wrong with the waterslide…))
I started cracking up, hearing the terrified screams of some. Then, I completely flipped over, so I was now on my stomach. I swallowed a bit of water, then more, then everything started to go fuzzy… I heard my name being called… “Here,” I said fuzzily. “I’m right here…” Then, I passed out.
Leafy and I are having the time of our lives!
((Things went wrong, that’s much more Fun.))
I whooshed down the tunnel before Zinc, when me and Zinc somehow were pushed down a side tunnel! “Agrrrfishi!” Zinc screamed. Then we flew off the slide, sailed through the air, and landed THUMP onto some cushions. I stood up, looked around, and realized where we were..
Hookay. Now I’m not having fun. I had been separated from my bestfriend, and I don’t like that. “Cushions?” I said. “Dude, this is niiice.” I liked it until the cushions started sucking my in, smothering me. ((Flash back time!)) It was my friend Ryan’s birthday party at the pool. I was eight. A boys against girls war for possesion of the raft. I had gotten to an edge to push the raft from the wall, when the raft got over me. I could’nt breathe. My chest was burning, and I made it out just in time. This was just like it, except I couldn’t swim out. I winked out.
((141- Wait. Leafygreen’s my best friend. No offense, Agrrrfishi.))
((Seriously, what about meeeeee??? ))
((Fine, you yelled for Leafy instead. I forgot she was with us. And, Zinc, WHERE THE HECK ARE WE!?!?))
Zinc let out a muffled scream. I rushed forward to help her, but I fell through a trapdoor and into a pit of slime. I screamed so loudly I was sure the others had heard it. Wherever they where.
I slipped and tumbled down the slide, and only then did I notice that AvalonGirl and Zinc were gone. “Guys?!” I screamed over the rushing waves. “Where are…WHOA!” The slide dropped off suddenly. I felt completely on my own, I cried out for Kokonilly. “NILLY?” I yelled. There was no answer. I fell gracefully through the air, like a rag doll, flipping in the wind. Then, I collided into Koko nilly as we reached the floor of a damp cave pit. “Ouch…” I groaned as I tried to get up off the stone floor. Then, I noticed that Kokonilly wasn’t moving. Or even breathing much, for that matter. I dropped to my feet, holding up my fading laser ring up for light. ‘Please let her be okay…’ I prayed as I looked at Kokonilly’s unmoving face. ‘What am I going to do?’
I continued to read, blissfully unaware of the commotion… ((I’m at the ruined observatory…))
I kept screaming, knowing I was LOUD and PIERCING. I had broken glass by screaming once…yeah.
That was when I saw IT. “Be quiet, will you?” IT snarled angrily.
((Whee! What is IT? Whatever it is, I know this will be Fun! Is it a human, a bunny, a wung, or something else?))
((145- A twisted fun house, I expect. Made by evil clowns.))
((Third person!!! Whee!!!))
Kokonilly drew a long, rasping, breath, and coughed. “Wake up, please wake up…” Agrrfishi kept mumbling.
I saw Kokonilly cough, and then shook her again. “Nilly? Can you hear me at all?” She opened her eyes, and tried, unsuccesfully, to get up. “Y-yeah…Oh, my gosh, what was that? Where are we?” I looked around. Everything was pitch black, except for the faint circle of light that we were standing under. “I can’t see anything”, I whispered. “Can you?”
“Nope”, she said. “Nothing but you and…” She stopped suddenly, looking somewhere to my right. “A-Agrrrfishi? Look over there…” I turned to where her finger pointed and gasped. “Oh my god”, I said loudly. “What is that thing?”
“I don’t know… And I don’t want to find out.” I coughed again. “We should go… I don’t want to stay…”
“Oh, but you should stay. It has just gotten interesting,” the thing said.
I started shaking, but said boldly (complete with fake eye-rolling), “Oh, that’s so cliche.”
((Third person, as I am unconcious. I was smothered by pillows.)) Zinc Had gotten through the six feet of pillows and was falling through darkness. She landed on a surface with a loud thud. ((First person!)) I woke up blearily. I felt like something had punched me all over my body. I sat up. It was black. Except for a circle of dim light. There was Agrrrfishi and Kokonilly. Kokonilly was pointing in my direction. “Oh my god, what is that thing?” she said loudly. “That wasn’t very nice! It’s Zinc!” I said, annoyed at their rudeness. “Not you… what’s right next to you.” stuttered Kokonilly, with wide eyes.
((Sorry. I must have been typing when it moderated.))
((Hm. Which plot to go with? Maybe mine, as I submitted it earlier. *isn’t sure*))
((155- Well, I don’t want to be sinking in cushions forever, so can you go with mine? We can somehow combine them. Probaly. Maybe. I think.))
(( Here, I got it. How’s this?))
“Oh my god, what is that thing?†she said loudly. “That wasn’t very nice! It’s Zinc!†I (Zinc) said, annoyed at their rudeness. “Not you… what’s right next to you.†stuttered Kokonilly, with wide eyes.
“I don’t know what it is… And I don’t want to find out.†I (Kokonilly)coughed again. “We should go… I don’t want to stay…â€
“Oh, but you should stay. It has just gotten interesting,†the thing said.
I (Kokonilly) started shaking, but said boldly (complete with fake eye-rolling), “Oh, that’s so cliche.â€
((157- Goodgood. I shall continue.)) “Intresting?!” I say increduously. “You’re disgusting!” *scoochs away*
((157 – Oh, goody!))
“Well, that’s just rude, isn’t it?” the creature said. “You drop by to say hello, then you insult me.” It assumed a hurt expression.
((Wait. Kokonilly, are you in the same room as me? If not, the top post. If yes, bottom post.))
I felt about the walls of the pit. Somehow, I fell forward, and into a vacuum! It stopped…and I fell out of a ceiling. Right behind Kokonilly.
——
I screamed loudly, leaping out of the pit. I shivered. “W-what is that THING?” I yelled right into Agrrrfishi’s ear.
“So you’re nice?” said Agrrrfishi, choosing her words carefully. “Of course not.” the creature said, and it smiled, revealing sharp, pointed teeth as large as daggers.
I leaned back cautiosly and whispered out of the corner of my mouth…”Every-body-run.” Then, we made a dash for it, Kokonilly far in front and myself heading up the rear. The rceature behind us, a large slug, was slowly morphing into something hideous and…pink? “OH, GOSH, RUN! IT’S A MUTATED BUNNY!” I screamed, sprinting even faster away down the long cave as the creature sped after us. “Just what I love to see!” the creature cackled. “Dinner on the run!”
I sped up, thanking my long legs and soccer. I reached the front, and another monster appeared in front of us.
I silently thanked the fact that I was a gymnast and a irish dancer. And that I could run 60 yards in 30 seconds. I sped up, pulling Agrrrfishi by the arm, and skid to a stop right after Zinc.
I screamed incredibly loudly, scared by the second mutated bunny. “AIEAIEIAEAIEIEIIAEEAYEAEAEYYEYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
Both bunnies fell to the ground. Then the ceiling started to shake.
((I’m going to do something I will never do again. This post will be from Leafy’s point of view.)) The waterslide seemed to go on forever. I was last. I heard and felt a rumbling beneath me. Suddenly, the waterslide cracked in two and I fell. I landed with a thud. Kokonilly yelped at my sudden arrivel. I brushed my hair out of my face and said breathlessly, “Guten tag, Zinc. Fancy meeting you here.”
*Reads* *Finishes Book*
I looked around frantically and did the most natural thing: I bolted. They called me back, and Agrrrfishi even started running after me.
I noticed Kokonilly fleeing. “KOKONILLY!!!” I screamed. “Kaerimasu!”
That was when the tunnel fell in. “Itai…” I moaned. I had a good reason to moan, seeing as I was trapped and a boulder was practically falling on my leg! If I moved, I’d have a broken leg and a broken arm!
“Anyone? Can anyone hear me?”
I coughed loudly, hearing AvalonGirl cry out. “I…I’m over here *hack*, and I think I’m all right. Are you guys all okay?” I tried, unsuccessfully to stand up, and then collapsed again. “Oooohhh…” I moaned. “I’m dizzy.” I looked around for everyone else, locating AvalonGirl first. “Oh, no!” I said, rushing over. “Ugh, how am I going to get this off…” I pulled a titanium pie from my bag anbd threw it as hard as I could at the boulder. Surprisingly, the large rock crumbled and I was able to pull AvalonGirl out from underneath it. Then, I helped her to her fett. “I think those monsters are gone”, I said, peering around through the clouds of dust and rock.
I ran, but not far enough to get out of the tunnel. As it collapsed, I threw my backpack over me and it sheltered me from any large rocks. I crept quietly back, saying “Sorry about that. I was being a coward.”
I started screaming. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
“We’re not in danger anymore, you know,” someone said helpfully.
“Sumimasen, minshuu. Hon’in ã—ãªã‹ã£ãŸ kokuji.” I muttered.
“WHAT THE HECK DID YOU SAY?!” Agrrrfishi yelled.
“Oh, sorry for talking in Japanese. I do it in times of crisis. But I said ‘Sorry, people. I didn’t notice.’” I amswered.
I groaned. A large bit of waterslide had prevented me from moving without cracking my skull again. ((I have seriously cracked my head open. Don’t ask.)) Water started dripping onto my face. “This is not my day.” I muttered. “Need a hand?” Leafy’s voice inquired. She lifted the piece of heavy plastic. “Tausend dank!” I said when I crawled out. She raised her eyebrows. “English, please, Frau Zinc.” “A thousand thanks, or many thanks.” I explained.
“Let’s do something!” I said, my feet starting to do a jig. “Otherwise, you’ll have to stand me talking in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Hebrew in a weird patchwork…”
Here, I paused. “Like this. å½¢ 麻烦的;讨厌的;å¯åŽŒçš„? ×”×–×”, ×”×–×ת kanarazu is!”
Everyone just gaped at me. “What I said is: Annoying? This certainly is!” I answered in a clipped tone.
“You don’t speak German, by any chance? Allow us-” I said. “Vie gates catza?” I said to Leafy. “Binky gute.” Leafy replied. Agrrfishi raised her eyebrows. I explained, “I said How is your cat? And Leafy said, Binky is good.” Suddenly, AvalonGirl collapsed. A guilty whistling came from the shadows.
I collapsed. “Huh, that’s strange…I just collapsed…” I said. Trying to get up, I realized I couldn’t move my arms or legs! “Guys, I can’t-”
My warning was too late, however, as the others all fell to the ground, crying out they couldn’t move their legs and arms!
I fell to the ground like AvalonGirl. I felt like I was made of jelly. I heard faint footsteps coming from a distant corner of the cave. “Who IS that?” I screamed. “Don’t be a coward! Show yourself!”
“All right, already!” The thing in the shadows stepped into a small crack of light that filtered through the collapsed ceiling. “But don’t say I didn’t warn you…”
The creature stepped into the light. It was a horrible, hairy slimy slug thing. Everyone screamed and looked away, but I just blinked and started singing the weewee song. I finished the weewee song, and started sing the beaver song. “This can’t possibly get anymore annoying.” Agrrrfishi muttered. I started singing the aardvark song. “I thought wrong.” ENOUGH OF YOUR INFERNAL SINGING!!!!” the slug thing roared. It came right up to me and slapped a load of duct tape on my mouth. “So,” the slug thing said, leaning against me, “anyone else care to annoy me?”
“Gee, you think so?” I commented sarcastically. “I think I shall annoy you, seeing as I’m currently paralyzed.”
I held a EXTREMELY high pitched sound, and started singing at a rapid pace in Japanese! “Maketakunai shi Nakitakunai shi

“Ok, this is as annoying as it can possibly get.” Agrrrfishi commented
“But there’s another two verses!” I whined loudly…
I went to find more books…
The slug thing duct-taped my mouth shut. “Mm mmm! Mmmm mm!” I yelled, or at least tried to…
I hid in a corner when I saw Avalongirl collapsed, and as a result was not paralyzed. I crept behind the evil Jabba the Hutt and throttled him with a chain. ((EXTREMELY unoriginal ))
As my ears bled from the noise of Zinc and AvalonGirl’s ANNOYING SINGING, I saw the slug thing creep up and duct tape AvalonGirl’s mouth. ‘Well, at least she’s quiet’, I though sarcastically, but I knew that duct taped mouths did not end well. Then, as the slug was about to eat my face for a snack, Kokonilly came up and throttled it to death. “YAYYYYY!” we all cried, getting to our feet. “We can move our legs again!” We celebrated by doing a victory dance. Then, I said, “We’d better get out of here before more strange, face-eating creatures show up. But how do we get out of here?”
“Um, what about that door with an exit sign on it?” I asked. Everyone glared at me and trudged out the door… straight out of the cave. They were about to run back in until I yelled “PEOPLE! This is our chance to completely escape the pie warfare! Let’s go to a safe haven!”
I glared at Agrrrfishi after trudging out the door, and fell face-first. “Mm! Mmph!” I replied to Kokonilly, then went “MM, m mph!”, pointing to the duct-tape on my mouth…
“Mm mmm!” I ripped the duct tape off. “Oow.. does anyone have a Sharpie?” “Leafy pulled one out. “Danke.” I drew a large toothy grin on the duct tape and stuck it on my upper lip. “Haha! This is fun!”
“Oh, all right…” I pulled the duct tape carefully off AvalonGirl’s mouth, and she smirked in a somewhat grateful way. “Thank you very much”, she said sardonically. “Now, let’s get outie!” Then, I looked at Kokonilly. “But where exactly do we find a safe haven???”
“Well, there’s a Holiday Inn right there.” I pointed.
“WAIT!” Everyone stopped. “Lemmee check something.” I went around and touched everyone. “Okay, none of you are holograms. Continue.”
I looked strangely at Zinc, then grinned. “Thanks for checking”, I said. Then I turned to Kokonilly. “A Holiday Inn.. Don’t you think they would see that?” I said to her. “Yeah, I guess”, she replied. But I really wanted the comfy bedding for one night!” She looked up at me with big, round eyes. I sighed. “I guess you’re right”, I said. “Have I been being a bit too overly controlling and bossy lately?”
“YES!!! everyone yelled. I blushed. “Oh.” i said. “Well, in that case, I’m really sorry. let’s all decide on what to do now, then.”
Kokonilly waved her hand wildly in the air. “Yes…Kokonilly?” I called on her, giving her a strange look.
“I vote holiday Inn!” she cried.
“I’m pretty sure we already knew that”, Zinc sighed.
“Okay then,” I mumbled, slowly approaching the Holiday Inn.
Then — ((continue!))
((Well, ignore my comment. I like Agrrrfishi’s much better. ))
“What was that for?” I asked Zinc. “Holiday Inn!” I answered loudly. Then-
“Hey! There’s a Comfort Inn and a Marriott over there!” someone yelled.
“Erk, I don’t like Comfort Inn.” I shook my head. “It’s Holiday Inn or Mariott. Preferably Mariott; it’s fancier. Plus, I know the owner; she lets my stay there with any number of friends (I think she thinks I haven’t got many friends) for free.”
I sighed heavily. “Honestly, does it really MATTER which hotel we stay in?” I said exasperatedly. “But, if we’re taking picks, I’d prefer the Mariott.”
“No, it doesn’t matter at all. But I believe if we need a safe haven, we need it quick.” I looked over my shoulder. “I believe the others are investigating the cave.”
“You’re right”, I said, panic filling my veins. “Let’s get out of here.”
“But would’nt it be obvious that we went to a hotel? And anyway, they would just split up and look in each hotel!” I said as we walked.
“Then let’s not go to a hotel. Wait, never mind, they would think we’re not so stupid as to go into a hotel, so they wouldn’t go to a hotel.” I scratched my head. “Then… um… let’s go to the original site of the pie war.” Everybody stared. “It’s the place they’ll least expect us to go to. We can install guards to alert us.”
I saw shapes approaching over the horizon, towards the ruined observatory. I rushed towards them! “Perhaps they’ll have some more books!”, I though to myself…
((Can someone fill me in))
“Right, Nilly”, I said, rolling my eyes. “Because they definetly wouldn’t be able to see us there, out in the open.”
“She’s got a point”, said Zinc. “Let’s go someplace that’s well hidden. We don’t want to take any chances someone might spot us.
“Um, guys?” AvalonGirl said. “While we stand here arguing, someone might be watching us right now! Let’s just go.” She scanned around the clearing, and then we saw her eyes pinpoint a small building not far from where we stood. “Come on”, she said. “This might be our only hope. Unless they’ve already found this place…”
We didn’t wait any longer. Everyone ran after AvalonGirl to the building.
“Oh, right.” I blushed. “I think too hard about stuff like that…” Then, Agrrrfishi grabbed my arm and ran. I was simply bouncing up and down on the sandstone.
What had happened? The group of people had fled! I ran after them, and saw a set of buildings. Several looked large and commercial, so I took a chance and decided to try the smaller, more isolated building. Maybe it had some books…
((By the way, this group of people is all of you!))
I pulled Kokonilly after me as I followed AvalonGirl. The others followed suit as well. We dashed across the barren wasteland, fleeing across the sand until we reached the steps of the building. It was enormous, dingy white, and seemed to have at least a hundred steps. “Wow”, gasped Zinc. “It looks like a palace that’s been lost for ages and ages.” We began to ascend the steps just as the hot sun moved to beat down on us. The clear white marble we walked on was light and seemed almost to glow. It was strange but somehow reassuring, like we were the only ones who knew where it was, or had known where it was for a very long time.
I was the first to reach the door. I tugged on it. “Locked!” I said, turning to the others. “Z-Z-Zinc, look behind you…” Kokonilly whispered. Her face was pale. “Whassat?” I said. “She said, Zinc look behind you.” “Thanks…” I turned around to see who had helped me. “Boo!” Agrrrfishi said. “What are you doing here?” “This is my temple.” he said smugly. “Yeah, yeah, wait- temple?!” AvalonGirl said. “Yes. My blood sucking zombies made it.” I bared my fangs. “Ooh, a vampire! How scary.” “I’m not a normal one. I’nm like the Cullens in Twilight.” “Twilight what’s Twilight?” I started crying in laughter. “Oh man- get this? This guy does’nt even know what Twilight is!” Leafy started laughing with me. “God, are you out of it!” Leafy laughed. Boo was frustrated. “Twilight? Are you talking about books? Do you have any?” said a voice.
I whirled around, panicking. “Oh, it’s just you, Bookworm.” I sighed. “I thought it was the others. C’mon, guys, we need to hide.”
“Hide? I like hiding!” Boo trailed behind us, cackling madly.
Boo opened the doors to the temple. There was only one thing too see- a long, ominous, dark passageway that didn’t look very inviting.
“Dark passageway”, I said,
Boo opened the doors to the temple. There was only one thing too see- a long, ominous, dark passageway that didn’t look very inviting.
“Dark passageway”, I said, pulling a spiderweb away from my head as we trudged down the tunnel carefully. “Not always my favorite excursion, but between this and pies I’d take this any day.” I could hear Kokonilly shaking in her boots a few feet away from me. I couldn’t blame her, either. It was too dark to see and the only sound was the echoing cackle of Boo’s laughter, still ringing through the hallway.
((DANGIT, conflicting plots. Can someone mishmash them, please?))
209-((Conflicting plots? What conflicting plots? I see no conflicting plots…))
I jumped into the passageway after Zinc, mentally cursing the fact it was so dark. Lost in thought, I tripped. And accidentally pushed Zinc. Who pushed Kokonilly.
I was walking when suddenly Kokonilly ran into me. I collapsed, and behind me heard a lot of others doing the same thing. I fell onto something furry and cold. When I looked up, I very nearly screamed.
“Ahh…ahhh….RUN AWAY!” I screeched, scrambling to my feet and retreating as far away from the thing as possible.
“What on earth…” asked Zinc. The she saw what I was looking at.
“What in the name of cake does this horrid spectacle mean!” she yelled.
Because near the wall, where I had landed, was a STUFFED pink bunny. It had glassy, unseeing pink eyes, sharp pointy fangs, and wore some sort of crown on its head.
I wiped of my tunic vigorously and walked in a circle three times, then spit on the ground.
“Ew”, said Kokonilly, giving me a strange look.
“It’s supposed to keep evil spirits away! And this looks like the body of a VIB (very Important Bunny). He must have been evil.”
“But why would his body be in here?” questioned AvalonGirl.
“I don’t know”, I said,”but we can only hesitate to find out.”
((Agrrrfishi, stop god-RPGing! You’re making my character say things she wouldn’t say!))
I looked around for clues. That was when I realized: “W-where’d Boo go?” I questioned, stammering, out loud. That was when we heard it.
“BRUHAHHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!”
It was receding into the distance. Then the doors closed!
Total blackness. No light. No warmth. Nothing…
((Oops. Nope, no conflicting plots. ))
The doors slammed shut. “Whaaaa?” I started shaking. Then–
“KOKONILLY!” Someone pushed me gently. I screamed bloody murder. “Don’t DOOOOOO that!” I screeched, and chased after the perpetrator, who turned out to be [I don’t want to write for anyone].
“Boo! Why did you push Kokonilly? That wasn’t very nice!”
I screamed in my annoyingly high-pitched way, after warning everyone to plug their ears.
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
Bookworm fell over in a dead faint, apparently having not heard me yell to plug his ears. I did a triple flip, pivoting on my hand and screaming all the time.
I was still screaming.
*Faints*
After dissapearing randomly, I reappeared just as randomluy in the middle of the dark corridor ((that’s why I :<3: this character!! he/she/it/them can be random!!)) “so… who are we hiding from? and would anyone like a pie? to eat, of coures.”
I kept screaming, and the TRPV fell over in a faint. Kokonilly blindly felt her way up to me, and clapped her hands over my mouth. When I quieted down, she said “Scream much?”
“um… where are we?”
(( Sorry… ))
(( That was toward post 212, by the way. Sorry again! ))
((221-No, it’s OK. Just don’t god-RPG more then one other person in a post, and try to make my characters say things they’d say…))
((222-I’ll do my best…))
I looked over at earthgirl. “We…um… acutally, I don’t have any idea.” We were stading in a brand new dark corridor, and I couldn’t see anything at all. My glow ring suddenly died, and I dropped it on the ground. “Cake!” I said. “Now we’re lost, and trapped, and on top of all that, it’s DARK!”
“Plus my ears are still ringing from miss Screams-A-Lot”, said Kokonilly, evidently in pain from the scream frequency AvalonGirl had been letting out.
Suddenly, the corridor filled with bright light-from medieval-style torches that were lining the walls. I shivered. “Um, guys, does anybody get the feeling we’re being watched?”
We all screamed spontaneously as a dark figure emerged from the shadows, and began to sprint down the corridor as far as was possible. The thing behind seemed to be following at a slow pace. We stopped when we reached a dead end.
“It’s a wall! IT’S A WALL!” screamed Kokonilly. “WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? THERE’S NO WAY OUT OF HERE!”
“Don’t give up just yet”, I said. I leaned my ear against the wall, tapping with my knuckles. There was a hollow clunk that responded from on the other side of the wall. With one swift kick, I knocked my boot through the plaster wall, revealing a cobweb-filled tunnel. “Come on guys! Let’s go through here!” I yelled.
I pulled out a radioactive glow in the dark pie and looked around at the dubious, bewildered and just plain “I dont belive you”faces. “don’t ask. It’s in a lead pie tin and that’s all you have to know. I have several explosive pies as well incase of anymore walls” I passed the pie, glowing errily to whoever was going first since it was NO WAY me.
((How many kinds of pie do you have, trpv?))
I gasped loudly before making my sarcastic comeback.
“Miss Screams-A-Lot? Gee, thanks, Miss Piercing-Screamer-Who-Made-Some-People-Go-Deaf.”
I quickly got an elbow to the head. “OW!” I complained. What was that for?””
“Alright, let’s go through the tunnel…”
I quickly nodded to Bookworm. Then I looked behind us.
“Uh, GUYS? Look behind us.” I said urgently. They did.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!””AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!””AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!””AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
We all screamed, noticing it creeping toward us, and ZOOMED down that tunnel.
“When will that pesky Boo just go away?”
I screamed my head off and raced down the tunnel.
I screamed loudly, running next to Kokonilly down the tunnel, matching her step by step. Aparrently, the combined force of out screams made the tunnel collapse, sealing us off from the others!
((How’s THAT for a plot twist?))
“Oh, god.” I started whimpering. “No, no, no… NO!” My claustrophobia was kicking in. I started to hyperventilate.
((Whoa, sorry, I haven’t been on here in ages!))
I slowly burrowed my way through the battlefield, emerging from the messy mountains of pie only when I was certain there was no one above me. That’s the thing, though: there was no one around anymore. Only an eerie expanse of spattered pie. Shuddering, I headed for the one building in sight, hoping to find others there.
When I reached the building’s stairs, I had a feeling someone was watching me, but when I looked back, no one was there. This continued until I climbed the last stair. This time when I looked back I saw Boo right in front of my face and I couldn’t help but jump backwards in shock, heart pounding. “I love my job,” Boo cackled. “Your friends are in there, by the way!” He gestured towards the temple doors, which swung open with an ominous squealing, revealing the dark passageway within.
“Ooo! A dark passageway!” I yelled enthusiastically, running inside. I was a long way in before I realized that I couldn’t see a thing and I had no idea where in here my friends were. Oh cake, I thought. Curse you, Boo! He knew I would be so intrigued by this Gothic fantasy come to life that I wouldn’t think about the danger until it was too late.
I noticed Kokonilly hyperventilating. Ooh, nice job, my inner voice of sarcasm (and such) said. You just HAD to scream, didn’t you? If you hadn’t screamed, we’d be fine, but NO! You just HAD to scream, and NOW you’re stuck in a tight space with a claustrophobic, hyperventilating girl! Oh, GREAT going…
I crept up to Kokonilly, somehow cursing and thanking the fact that I’m phobophobic, and clapped my hand across her mouth! She bit me, but I just took it until she passed out.
“What’s next, I wonder?” I asked no one in particular. “Learning that Bookworm is coulrophobic?”
((225- every single one that exists and a few that dont! I’m a pie vendor! I cant help it!))
“see1 I KNEW that those explosive pies would come in handy!” I placed three TNTpies throughout the rubble and called through to Kokonillyl and Sefrina “duck and cover guys! we’ll have you out of there in no time!” I then melodramaticly pressed the BIG-RED-BUTTON ((aret big red buttons so much FUN!!!! they always make interesting things happen! sonetimes the WRONG interesting things if you guys want to stay stuck and have a paralell adventure! up to whoever posts next!))
“B-big red button?” AvalonGirl whimpered. I slowly drifted awake, realized we were STILL in the tight space, but had no time to hyperventilate before the great big
erupted behind us.
235-((Wrong thing! Also, TRPV, Serafina isn’t in here. It’s AvalonGirl who’s with Kokonilly.))
Sobbing in pain, I looked at my arm. Then…I realized I shouldn’t of. I had a few pieces of debris stuck in my arm (luckily, small ones…) and horrible bite marks!
“You owe me for this!” I managed to get out in a pained whisper, pulling the debris out of my arm.
I sat straight up and had little time to shield myself in some fashion before the bomb went off, and shield myself I did, hiding behind a huge boulder. I was unhurt, but AvalonGirl seemed to have some splinters and bite marks. “Heh heh… sorry about those bites.” I slung her over my shoulder and proceeded to run, looking for the others, and screaming my head off.
((it is NOT a bomb- Is an explosive PIE- wait BITE MARKS!!!!!!????? my pies DO NOT have TEETH??? (unless they are my special bity-bites “you bite them and they bite you back!”)))
I hear kokonilly’s screams and follow them down the tunnle “OMG!!!! Avalongirl are you ok!!!! oh MUFFINS that was NOT supposed to happen! follow me! everyone else is over here” ((or are they… mwa ha ha ha ha…)))
((No, I bit her earlier: see post 234.))
((I’m assuming I’m my character in this, because I look totally different in real life. I’m younger then she is by 5 years. She’s 15.))
“Hey!” I yelled after Kokonilly picked me up in a fireman’s lift. “Waitaminute-” I winced as she proceeded to scream her head off, and I proceeded to clap my hand across he mouth. She bit me. Again.
But at least she stopped screaming.
“SHUT UP!!!” I screamed in her ear. Then I yelled loudly, having been hit by a dropping splinter. A BIG one…
((oh!! I get it! so she just noticed them?))
((I’m 12. I can lift you??? Ah well. Details, details. ))
I dropped AvalonGirl when she screamed in my ear and took out my first-aid kit. I pulled out all of the splinters as she thrashed about. I started to notice the fatigue of carrying someone three years older than me and collapsed.
((I suppose I’m her! I’m ten in real life, but it’s easier to act as a 15-year old character. I started off in BA, and you can’t really be a 10 year old there…))
“Heh…funny, isn’t it…we were worrying about everything else…never this…” I murmured, bleeding silently.
3rd person:
just then TRPV ran around the corner shouting , ““OMG!!!! Avalongirl are you ok!!!! oh MUFFINS that was NOT supposed to happen! follow me! everyone else is over here†then she seems to notice just how bad the injuries are and pulls out a antiseptic/antibacterial creme pie and throws it at the arm. “I don’t have any bandage pies… but somone else might! we have to get you back to everyone else!” she pulls off her backpack and xpands it into a pie cart, helping kokonilly to lift Avalongirl onto it
((I really don’t know how old I am in BA. I have been mentioned as being a former teacher, telling me that I’m an adult, but I act in a very juvenile fashion… ))
“I have bandages.” I wrap up AvalonGirl until she essentially resembled a mummy.
The walls ahead of me suddenly exploded. “MORE CAKE!” I yelled in the midst of the explosion. When the dust and rubble subsided, I was able to stand. I was shaky, but unharmed, except…
“Wung buttons, where are my glasses?!” I demanded as I moved to adjust them, only to find that they were no longer on me. Which meant that they were probably lying smashed with the rest of the debris. Which meant that since I wasn’t carrying my spares, I was practically blind. “Hello? Is that you guys?” I ventured, squinting at the vague blobs ahead of me that might be people.
“yes! it is us! we fould kokonilly and Avalongirl and kokonilly is bandaginh her up! have a concentrated carrot pie! it improves eyesight! sorry I dont have any pie lenses. I never restoced after the first batch!”
((whatever GAPA is monitoring this thread, can I send in a picture of my pie cart/ backpack/ giant robot?))
((244- What grade are you going into? Leafy and I are both Libras and going into sixth grade.)) I looked at Leafy, and we both shrugged. I twisted my braid idlly. ((I’m growing out my hair in real life. I am SICK of short hair! You can’t do anything with it!!!!)) Leafy coughed. She coughed again. Then she seemed like she was choking. “Something -gag- stuck in my -choke- throut!”
249-((When school starts (less then a week) I’ll be in 5th.))
((I’m going into ninth. On September 2nd.))
“Eta? Is that you?” I ran to her. “Wait, can you see me?”
“No…” she said. “I can’t see.”
“You can borrow my glasses,” I offered.
((How bad are your eyes, Eccentric? Mine, in real life, are -5.25.))
251-((LUCKY!!! That’s more then two weeks after mine starts! Let’s talk about it on Back To School 08…))
“You know, Kokonilly, It’s my ARM. My ARM.” I said sarcastically. It was lost on her, as she was walking over to Eccentric!
((I’ve never bothered to do Muse Academy, but…))
((252- Not MA, real life.))
“What’s this? You threw TNT Pie at someone, TRPV? That’s it! I’m taking your pie cart!” And so I did.
All the explosions and screams and biting noises were making me dizzy, not to mention I was getting leg cramps from being in this infernal tunnel, which was slowly growing smaller and smaller and smaller…
We all popped suddenly out of the tiny tunnel as it ended. Then, I realized that there was no ground beneath us. ” Oh, CAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeee…” I yelled as everyone fell down the large cylindrical pit, screaming at the top of their lungs. TRPV’s pies came raining down after us, falling much faster than we were and making a very scary splatting noise at the bottom of the pit. I hoped that I wasn’t going to end up like one of those pies. I could hear Kokonilly and AvalonGirl shrieking as we fell, and I tried to move toward them. The pit was very, very deep. Infact, it seemed as though we would never stop falling. But I knew those pies had hit the ground, so we would too. I paddled through the thick air and made my way over to AvalonGirl, clinging to her arm. “EEEEEEEEEP!” I yelled.
“Leggome!” she said back, shaking her arm. I didn’t let go for the life of me. Then, there was a PLUNK and another few SPLATS as we all hit the ground.
“Thank goodness thses pies were here to break our fall”, I said, brushing some apple pie crumbs off my tunic. “But where are we?” There were no tunnels out of this pit. There was only a small corridor lit by those same creepy torches, and a sign over the corridor that was scripted in a weird language I couldn’t read. I looked up. Where we had come from was only a tiny dot of light no bigger than a dust speck. The corridor was our only way out.
“I guess we have to follow that light, although it looks dangerous…”
Agrrrfishi started clinging to my arm. “EEEEEEEEEP!†she yelled.
“Leggome!†I said back, shaking my arm. Then, there was a PLUNK and another few SPLATS as we all hit the ground!
“I guess we have to follow that light, although it looks dangerous…†Bookworm said.
“Well,” I commented, “This can’t be any worse then what just happened.”
We all heard some loud shrieks!
“I always speak wrong.”
“Indeed, you do!”
We heard some loud shrieks from down the tunnel. I hesitated. “Is this a good idea?” I asked.
“There’s no other way”, remarked Bookworm.
“I guess you’re right”, I replied. We trudged stealthily down the tunnel. It seemed that the shrieks were coming from behind a door at the end of the tunnel. We kept walking, slowly, until we reached the door. I placed my hand on the ornate bunny-shaped door handle.
“Well, fishes first”, I said. Then, with a wince, I slowly swung open the door.
As I, the last person, stepped in, the door caved in, leaving us with no way out except forward. “We’re all going to die.” I said in a flat, indifferent voice.
“Well, THAT’S an optomistic thought!” I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes. Everything was dark now that there was no more corridor to give us light. We were in some sort of chamber that smelled weird, like must and old mothballs. “Does anyone have a glow ring?” I asked.
“I have a glow pie”, said TRPV.
“That’ll work”, I replied. TRPV handed me the pie and I held it up as it emitted a strange green light.
I turned around and followed the rest, feeling my way around since Eccentric had my glasses.
Leafy snapped, and conjured a small flame. I blinked, and looked at the small flame on her finger. I grinned, then frowned. “Leafy,” I said calmly, “Could you maybe, how can I put this? PUT YOUR CAKIN’ FLAME OUT! IT’S USING UP ALL OF OUR OXYGEN!!!” “‘Kay. ‘kay, geez…” she muttered, and put out her flame.
Suddenly, there was a sudden CRASH from somewhere in the room. “Who-who’s there?” I asked, shaking slightly.
“Who isn’t?” answered a voice.
“This is REALLY creepy!” I yelled. “Whatever act you’re trying to put on, please just QUIT IT!”
“We’re not trying to put on an act at all”, the voice replied. “You’re the one who got trapped down here in the first place. ”
I stopped dead for a second. I recognised that voice. “Hold on. Kokopelli? Is that you?”
“Is this the end of the tunnel?” I inquired. “No.” said another voice. “Urania!” Bookworm said.
“Urania? Kokopelli? How did you get down here?”
“WAAAUGH! They’re here!” I wailed. “I don’t want any more war!”
((I’m a senior in real life, so I usually think of my RPG characters as around the same age, but they hardly ever act like it.
251 – Eta’s vision is a lot worse than mine, but I do need glasses in real life. I forget the exact numbers; I can see without my glasses, but everything gets really blurry if it’s not right in front of my face. For example, if I take off my glasses it’s pretty hard for me to read the words in this comment box.))
Eta blinked a few times, bringing the group slightly more into focus. “If you don’t mind, I will borrow those for a second,” she said as she gratefully accepted Kokonilly’s glasses. She then accepted TRPV’s carrot pie. The more she ate, the better her vision got, until she could see well enough to give Kokonilly back the glasses. Actually, she could see better than well. She could see perfectly! “That’s one awesome pie, TRPV,” she remarked as she realized that she could now see everything in the dark as clearly as if it were day. I was about to protest to Bookworm as she took the pie cart that the carrot pie more than made up for the TNT pie before, but then Bookworm, the cart, and TRPV all fell with the rest of us.
My newfound clarity of sight didn’t help me in the new corridor or the spooky room after that. I was relieved to find Urania and Kokopelli, though I was also puzzled. “Where are the other Muses?” I wondered aloud.
(((Will someone fill me in)))
” did NOT throw a TNT pie AT ANYONE!!! i threw it at a caved in wall so kokonilly and avalongirl wouldnt be separated from us!!!! give me back my pie cart THIS VERY INSTANT or I will transform into marcia overstrand and mother-dragon you to the GRAVE and thank you for the compliment Eta!”
as I tumled down, I wrestled for my pie cart with bookworm finally managed to flip the top and send radioactve glowing pies down to lightthe way. as they landed the spilled and died untill a few seconds later when eta wondered, “where are the other muses” now the whole floor was covered in not-as-radioactive-as-it-was-beforeglow-in-the-dark pie so we could see clearly, if greenly. “now GIVE IT BACK or the light will go out and only I know how to get more. even when I do, YOU won’t get your own! you will rely on the charity of your fellow muse scouts”
“So, I said briskly, “Which way…” My tone faltered. There were six tunnels out.
“This isn’t good.” said Kokonilly, her voice cracking at the last word.
“not at all”, I agreed do we want to go out or sucumb to curiosity or go further in. (I am assuming there are only two ways to go) *turns around to see the 6 tunnles* “oh <>”
“How about we split up?” My voice grew stronger as I formed a plan. “If any of us get lost, we can always backtrack here.” I started to get excited. “We can leave slips of paper saying who went where, and if everyone ends up back here except for one group, we can go that way.”
“So how of us are there?” I asked, pulling out my loverly notebook.
“Urgh”, I shuddered. “I hate splitting up.”
I started a head count. “1, 2, 3, 4, 5-is that all?” I answered to Zinc.
…And promptly was tripped by Agrrrfishi, who was tripped by Kokonilly.
That was when we heard the voices of our pursuers coming closer. “They’re in the hole!” Bookworm screamed…
“They’re in the hole! Quick, everyone down! You can’t tell what will happen when Kokopelli comes to town!”
“What? A hole?” I grabbed Agrrrfishi and ran down a random tunnel.
“Oh, no! Wait. What hole?” I shook a little bit as I heard splatting. I fell down on top of Agrrrfishi, who seemed not to notice.
((279 – Woah, Alter Ego Alert. As a result, can we ignore that?))
“wait! agrrrrfish! have a glow-in-the-dark pie!” I called after them, chucking it down the tunnle. I heard no splat, so I assumed s/he had caught it.
((282 – Hold up. We don’t know who post 279 was by.))
Leafy and I walked down a tunnel, shivering. It was awfully cold, and awfully dark. I felt like I had no reason to live. “Do you think there are dementors?” Leafy’s voice, obviously scared, rang out from the darkness. ”I don’t know…” I replied. “Zinc we don’t have wands.” ”We’ve never practiced a Patronus spell.” ”There are probably dementors.” Then we ran screaming back the way we cme, and got hopelessly lost. ”It is not in their nature to be merciful!” Leafy shrieked. “You can’t outrun a dementor!” I screamed. Then we screamed and ran, getting even more lost.
((283 – Now we do! ))
I sprinted down with Agrrrfishi, holding a glow-in-the-dark pie. I also pulled out a battery-powered flashlight and 2 glow necklaces.
“Yay! Glow necklace!” I slipped one over my head, and it emitted a strange blue glow that seemed to be responsive to my personal feelings and thoughts. “Thanks, Nilly!” I said. “I always knew my color was blue.”
While Zinc and Leafy yelled and ran around, screaming about dementors, I desperately looked for a way out. “Man, do I hate tunnels”, I said to myself as I walked around the small cave. “They’re like a maze around here.” Then, I heard my voice echo somewhere to my right. “Maze down here, down here, here…” it whispered back to me. I shined my glow stick in that direction. The light pulsed from blue to an iridescent green, as if it were telling me I was right. I saw the moutch of another tunnel.
“Another tunnel?” I groaned. I slipped a necklace over my head. It instantly turned a gradient of lime green and light blue.
((286- I thought we all went down separate tunnels? We had six tunnels, to begin with. See #274.))
((288 – Maybe they connected.))
((289- Maybe they aren’t. Maybe we didn’t go down a tunnel that connected to someone else. anyway, the whole point of that post was to get me and Leafy lost. And Kokonilly, do you have the feeling that we’re the only ones posting?))
290-((I get that feeling…I am lost. I am with Bookworm.))
Me and Bookworm walked down the tunnels, getting even more lost. We looked into each others eyes…and screamed!
Then we dashed through a LONG tunnel, avoiding the landslide, and wend into ANOTHER tunnel. And another. And another. And another…
“Ok,” his voice echoed, “We’re hopelessly lost!”
((290 – I did get that feeling until AvalonGirl showed up.))
((Oops. You can disregard my post if you want.))
((who isn’t with anyone? eta? ok, would you do me the honor of getting lost and possibly injured and sore throated with me?))
I wheeled my pie cart down a tunnle after Eta who was still munching a carrot pie. I left mini-glow pies every 10 ft or so so we wouldnt get lost ((or would we?…)) we came to a fork. one side I could hear bats and the other water. I raced towards the sound of running water, screaming my head off and hoping eta was with me. suddenly the floor ended and … SPLASH
((that was supposed to be bold… wait! it is!!!! I can do HTML!!!!! never mind then))
“I don’t like tunnels, I don’t like tunnels, I don’t like tunnels…” I told myself over and over again, pacing down the tunnel with Kokonilly.
“I don’t like chanting, I don’t like chanting, I don’t like chanting”, Kokonilly said, grinning. I fake-punched her. “Ooh, ouch”, she said sarcastically.
“Hey, everyone’s afraid of something”, I said.
“True”, she replied, “but not always things as irrational as tunnels.”
“Look, if you had had MY experience in tunnels, you would know why I hate them”, I countered.
“Oh really? Enlighten me”, she said.
“Long story short, bad things happen in the dark”, I replied.
“I know”, she said. “I’m not a fan of the dark either.”
((296 – Haha. Nice. :D))
Leafy and I ran around crazily. Suddenly, we bumped into someone. We felt them running away, so we ran away too. A girl’s voice said, “RUN, BOOKWORM!” but we ran even faster. They were obviously possessed!
I hear something faint. It sounded like someone was screaming. I turned to Kokonilly. “Nilly, do you ever get the feeling that we’re being watched?” We both turned around slowly, then looked at each other and SCREAMED. “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!” we yelled, turning around and hightailing it down the tunnel. Something was there with us. Finally,when we were out of breath, we stopped for a moment. There was no sign that anyone was behind us. “I… I think we lost it…”, panted Kokonilly, clutching her sides. “Phew! I’ve never run so fast in my life!”
“Me, either”, I agreed, wiping my forehead. Suddenly,from behind us, came a slightly pronounced THUMP. I pointed my glowstick downward (which had become a violent red because of my fear, and a prominent yellow because of my exhaustion), bracing myself for the worst.
Instead of the worst, there was an adorable baby bunny sitting on the floor and thumping his cottontail, little nose sniffing the air. “Aww, bunny!” Kokonilly squealed.
“How adorrrrable!”, I cried, overcome by the cuteness of the animal. Kokonilly strectched out a hand towards the adorable four-legged mammal.
The transformation was instant. As I looked down in horror, the cute white fluffy bunny’s eyes turned a deep shade of red. Fangs popped out from the top gums, the mouth grew bigger, and a pinkish tinge was beginning to spread over its’ fur. He stood up on his hind legs, and let loose a terrible growl.
“Oh wungs”, I whispered.
“RUN!” screamed Kokonilly, and we began dashing down the corridor, the animated and destructive bunny hopping at lightning speed after us and snapping at our heels with his salivationg fangs.
“HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, simply out of pure fright.
As I sped away, I started to pull out two collapsible personal jetpacks and threw one at Agrrrfishi. She caught it, and even though we couldn’t fly up, we zoomed out of the tunnel and wound up in the air. “Where… where are we?” I looked down to see the bunny start to twirl its ears rapidly. “No time!” I soared up and landed lithely on Agrrrfishi’s head. “Wow, THANKS,” she said. “Nice aim, landing on my head.”
I had bumped into something, and me and Bookworm ran even FASTER, after I screamed to run! Then I heard Agrrrfishi screaming, and for some reason, we ran blindly that way.
Then I saw the bunny, and it noticed me (because I tripped and fell.)
((294 – Of course. ;)))
“TRPV? Are you oka-AGH! Fuzz muffins!!!” Eta yelled the last strange thing as she lost her footing on the suddenly slippery tunnel floor and tumbled after TRPV into the watery new chamber.
Leafy and I ran into a tunnel. I could’nt move anymore. “ARGH! QUICKSAND!” Leafy yelled. We were sinking. I scrabbled on the rocky, rough wall to find a handhold. My hands bled furiously, but I kept on searching. I was eventually sucked into the suffocating sludge. I shut my eyes tight, and held my breath. I blacked out.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed, being cornered by the bunny! Then my instincts kicked in…
I did a kickover, a backflip, and started my floor routine, knocking the bunny out with my final flip!
((AGRRRFISHI??? WHERE THE CAKE ARE YOU?!?!?!))
I groaned, and opened my eyes. I was in some kind of underground cavern. I sat up. Oh. We were sitting in water. I breathed, then waded over to Leafy. “Any way we can get out?” Leafy asked. “That door?” I suggested. We waded over to the door. Leafy turned the handle. Torrents of water streamed out of the hallway the door lead to. We swam into the hallway, and shut the door. ((We can be in a hallway that leads to any of you.))
Then, not even noticing that Kokonilly and Agrrrfishi were above me, I realized that Bookworm wasn’t here! I dashed back in, and scrambled into hallway after hallway, and then I found one where I heard Leafy coughing. “Is that you guys?” I asked.
I heard a high-pitched scream. “Who do you mean by you guys? If you mean Zinc and Leafygreen, yes, it’s us. But who are you?” I heard Zinc shout back…
I looked down and let out a yelp. Agrrrfishi glared at me. “AVALONGIRL? ZINC? LEAFY?” I yelled. Agrrrfishi looked down as well and started shrieking. “What?” I asked her.
“Heights…” She started whimpering.
“Ignore it. Just focus on them. Try to get their attention.”
Then, Agrrrfishi slipped. “No!” I dove after her. I pulled out a collapsible trampoline and threw it down. She landed on it with a soft WHUMP as the rest of the Scouts stared in amazement.
“Why are you sopping wet?” Aggie asked. “Let’s just say, open that door and you’ll find out.” I said, pointing at the door we had come through. “How will we get out?” Kokonilly whimpered. “Hey, Zinc…” Leafy said. “What?” I asked. “There was another door. In that cavern.” she told me. “Hey, everyone!” I said. “Ready for a swim?”
“Yep!” I answered, bouncing up and down. “And it’s because of cases like THESE I wear my nice one-piece bathing suit underneath whatever else I’m wearing!”
I took off my shirt and pants, stripping to my bathing suit. “Don’t worry about my clothes, I have 15 duplicates of this exact outfit at home,” I said, grinning.
“Okay…” Leafy said. “Get ready…” I said apprensively. I opened the door.
((are you about to enter the some underwater cavern eta and I are in? oh yeah, i hav’nt posted the cavern yet))
as I pummlted down, I heard a splash above me and looked up to see eta fall in too. I kept floating down, down down and I started to run out of breath. I started to panic, I remebered a new pie I had made. the oxygen pie! I pulled one out and took a bite. my lungs were happy! I tosed pme to eta too. as we continued dowm, I saw an opening full of light… ((that underwater cavern that we are approaching. same or different? or mabey a different dorway leading to the same lake?))
Zinc opened the door. Nothing happened. “What?” She scratched her head. “It was right –” WHOOSH. Water came gushing out, nearly drowning us. We wound up on a large rock, sopping wet and coughing up water.
I spluttered out water, before going “That was FUN!” in a happy voice.
As we floated deeper and deeper, my vision started to go dark. TRPV handed me a pie just in time to keep me conscious. As I ate, I clumsily followed TRPV down towards the light.
“PPPPPPFTH!” I spat out a mouthful of water and shook my head to get the water out of my ears.
‘That was FUN!” cried AvalonGirl, who was perched next to me.
“Obviously, you and I have to VERY different definitions of the word ‘fun’ ” I huffed,plucking at my soaking wet tunic.
“Don’t worry, I have something for that,too!” said Kokonilly, and she pulled a collapsible drying mechanism from her pocket. I stepped under it,and instantly I was all dry, inside and out. All the tohers did the same until we were no longer dripping wet. Then, I noticed… “Hey! We’re in the middle of a lake!”
“This isn’t a lake”, said Zinc, popping up beside me. “This cave’s been flooded, and it looks like the water level is rising.”
She was right. With every second we stood there, more and more water was flowing through the door.
“How are we going to get out of here?” I cried.
“I really thought that was fun, though.” I grinned as I stepped into the drying mechanism and got dry. My hair was a tangled mess, but I ignored it when I looked in dismay at the rising water. Silently, I pulled out a huge inflatable raft, inflated it, and hopped on. “Anyone else?”
((I share all my powers from all the RPGs, so both of us are amphibious.)) “Remember, we’re amphibious!” I said, put my arm on Leafy’s shoulder. “We have no need of rafts!” “We’ll just go with the flow!” Leafy chirped.
“No thanks,” I answered Kokonilly.
Weird looks. “What? I’m a strong swimmer. I could of qualified for the Olympics (fictional!) but I didn’t try out.”
More weird looks.
“What?”
“I would swim, but for fear of being eaten by cave sharks, I’m going to raft’, I said, hopping in after Kokonilly.
“Did you say cave sharks?” asked Zinc.
“Yeah, there are bound to be tons of them in here!” I replied cheerfully. “This is the biggest, wettest,darkest cave I’ve ever seen!”
“Move over!”, said AavlonGirl, jumping into the raft hastily and lifting her feet. Zinc and Leafy scrambled in after her. Then, Kokonilly pushed us slowly onto the surface of the manmade lake. We were traveling on the water now, swiftly using the paddles to row along the silent and eerie river out of the cave.
“Is it just me, or is the raft sinking?” I said worriedly.
“It’s not,” I assured her. “It can hold up to 500 pounds.”
Agrrrfishi looked up guiltily. “Erm… I’m afraid I dropped my penknife.”
As the air slowly hissed out of the raft, I brought a small sailboat out of my pocket and opened it with a big WHOOMP. Agrrrfishi shook her head in amazement, saying “You’ll never cease to amaze me, Kokonilly” as I hopped in.
We got in the sailboat (!?!?! ) and went down a small river, which had been the tunnel out before this room had flooded. But, instead, we weren’t leaving the water.
“Do you hear that?” asked a perplexed Leafy.
“Yeah”, replied Zinc. “It sounds kind of like a…”
“WATERFALL!” I screamed, clutching the sides of the boat and screaming. Kokonilly joined me. Then, everfyone joined me what appeared to be the biggest, fastest running indoor waterfall I’d ever encountered.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!” we all screamed in unison as we went over the waterfall, FLYING off the boat and onto a slide. “Does this seem familiar to anyone?” I commented sarcastically. And then we found the ladder.
“Waterfall?” I looked down. The color drained out of my face. I instantly started screaming my head off.
((What ladder? Whaaaaa?))
((Aren’t we supposed to be going to MA or H&H?))
326-((MA would be fun, but then we’d need a different topic.))
We slid down a waterfall, SCREAMING OUR HEADS OFF, and somehow found a gathering of VERY large fishies. After freaking out, thinking they were cave sharks that were going to eat us, we realized they were nice dolphins. That carried us out of a cave and to the surface of a lake, near a town.
“Where are-”
“The Great Town of the GAPAs,” interjected Kokonilly.
We walked up to one of the doors, and as soon as it opened, chirped in unison “Hi! We’re Muse Scouts! Would you like a pie?”
…Seeing as I was wearing a swimsuit and the others were wearing wet, bedraggled clothes, we were given a weird looks and then the person slammed the door.
“Nice welcoming.” I said dryly.
“Well, what do you expect?” I muttered. “Luckily, my highlights are permanent, and I’ll be fine otherwise…HEY! Kokonilly, do you have a spare change of clothes in your pocket for you guys?”
“Yeah.” I pulled out a few extra outfits. “They’re my size, though…”

“Well, who cares? See, this is why spandex is useful…”
I slipped into a long rant about how spandex was cool, only stopping when Zinc shoved her hand over my mouth.
“Hey-let’s go sell some pies in that big tower over there! The 500 stories high one that’s thousands of feet high!”
((DA DA DUMMM…))
“Ooh, that’s a good idea!” Leafy smiled, and pulled her sopping wet hair into a ponyttail and started wringing it out. Meanwhile, I pulled out my handy rope and lassoed it to the top of the tower.
((DA DA DUMMM (again)…))
((Aw, thethread’s died, yet again! WHY AM I KILLING ALL THESE THREADS?! ARGH!!!))
333-Why did you take Leafy out of your name???
(Oh, and sorry for the PoPo, but it seems as if this thread is dead anyways…..)
((Can I join? Well maybe not, if the thread is dead. ))
((334- Look at the Recent Comments Bar! She’s herself now! She doesn’t need to use my name anymore!
335- Sure! The more the merrier, Zesty!))
“Oh, GREAT idea!” I commented sarcastically. “Grab a rope and tie it to the top of a tower. Yeah, it’s SUCH a great idea!”
“Well, what have you got in your head, Einstein?” I said sarcastically, bracing my feet on the wall of the tower. “The door’s at the top!”
“Well,” I struggled for an idea “Send a falcon with a note and have them let us in?”
(*revives thread*)
“OOO, GREAT idea!” Zinc started yelling, rolling her eyes. “Where are we going to GET A FALCON?! OR PAPER?! OR A PEN?!”
“Well, It was just an idea-” Zinc cut me off, starting to rant…
Can I join (/revive the thread)
((342- Sure, whatever, as there are only two or three people actually posting on this thread anymore, it’d be nice to have FOUR…))
I started to rant, finally getting to “So here we are, standing DEAD at a FIVE-STAR restaurant!” Then I scrunched my face up and started to climb.
“Wait-since when has this been a five-star restaurant?!” I screamed up to Zinc.
“let’s find a window and take the stairs the rest of the way up. My legs are killing me!!!” I shouted to the rest of the adventurers
((Oh look, THREE WHOLE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY POSTING! WOW, WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT!))
“Since I lost my train of thought!” I roared back down. “And hey, who says it isn’t?!” I was about a sixth of the way up now.
“Go faster!!!!” I said “Didn’t you notice that someone is going to see us climbing a wall and inform the police or someone!!!!”
“What? There…are…police?!” I started screaming.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
“Oh, look. A police car.” I commented sarcastically, and then FLEW up the tower about 70 feet, stopping right next to a window.
I pried up the window by getting a wire from my pocket with my teeth, and prying the window. I slipped inside…
“Eckpth!” I said as I saw the car. I quickly followed AvalonGirl through the window, and found myself in the middle of a couple of old ladies’ bridge game.
“Buy a pie to support the Muse Scouts, Madams?” I said after the trick was over.
I slapped my forehead. I turned to AvalonGirl and said, “AvalonGirl, that’s not the kind of thing you tell them just after you crash a party!”
The old people stared at us.
“Ehh, come again, dearie?” asked the old lady, lifting her eyeglasses.”I’m a little hard of hearing…*HACK HACK*”
The lady choked and coughed. A drop of spittle landed on AvalonGirl’s shoulder.
“Well, you were the one who asked”, said Zinc, grinning. AvalonGirl smacked her angrily.
“HEY! That hurt!” cried Zinc.
“I meant it to” said AvalonGirl, smiling mischeviously.
“Settle…” I said in a dangerous voice as Zinc shot daggers at AvalonGirl. Then, we became once again embarrasingly aware of the ladies looking at us bewilderedly from the bridge table. koko’s Apprentice looked around, still holding the pie.
“Does anyone want a slice?” he/she offered (sorry, I don’t know which you are ).
“I don’t think so”, said Leafy.
“Well, you know what’s weird about you? Your…” I struggled to think of a comeback, “tallness.” I said lamely. “Because you’re so tall, and such…”
I was surprised that, somehow, Zinc wasn’t mad. She did, however, punch me on the arm. HARD.
I punched AvalonGirl to shut her up. Then I smoothed my hair down and said politely (although somewhat loudly), “I’m sorry for such a rude intrusion, madams, but… er…” I couldn’t very well say we were escaping from the police, but that’s exactly what AvalonGirl said.
the old ladys say, “sorry, couuldn’t quite hear that. something about the police?” I elbow Avalongirl to make her stop!
(352- I am a boy, for future reference, Agrrrfishi)
((355- First of all, KA, please enclose all OOC (out of character) bits in double parantheses, like I am doing now. Second, PLEASE to use proper grammar, capatilization, punctuation, and spelling. It’s all right to have a typo now and then. If you want to lose your neophyte status, stop posting willy-nilly and start posting like you’re writing something for school. I’m very sorry if that was a bit harsh, but your way of typing is very off-putting.))
Suddenly, I heard a pounding on the door. “Open up in there!” A gruff voice said. I quietly yelped, and AvalonGirl looked around wildly for a place to hide, then dived in a closet. I hid behind a dresser, and heard an old lady say, “Eh, what’s that, sonny? Speak louder!” The gruff voice I was guessing to be a policeman yelled, “OPEN UP! WE SUSPECT THERE ARE FUGITIVES IN THERE!” I heard Leafy whimper from under a table, hidden by a tablecloth.
((I can’t think of anything else.))
I hid in the dresser and watched from a little crack as the lady went up and opened the door. She said, “There is no one in here, so thanks for interrupting our bridge game!” She then took her purse and whacked him over the head. “Go away and stay away,” she said. The policeman left. “You kids look like nice kids. I wouldn’t want such nice kids to go to jail. Now how about that pie?” She said.
I slowly got up from behind the dresser. “Oh, the pie! Yeah, the pie. Er, we have choklit, bluberry, apple, strawberry cinnamon, cement with golf balls…”
After diving out of the closet , “Pocky, starfruit, tomato, airfoil-shaped, boysenberry, basketball.”
I continued for Zinc…
I came out of the dresser and, “peach, banana cream, tangerine, pineapple, monkey hairs, and many more.”
“And many, many, more…” I continued, and turned for a few seconds and gave Zinc the big, creepy, full-tooth, dollish smile. She shuddered, and I stopped and turned back.
“Holy wung, I wish she wouldn’t DO that,” I muttered after AvalonGirl turned away. Leafy murmured, “Language…!” “I’d like a… oh, can you show me a menu, dearies?” said one of the grannies. “Er, we don’t bring me-” AvalonGirl began to say, but I stuffed my beanie in her mouth, and furiously jotted down all the types we had on my handy dandy pad of paper. I ripped it off and handed it to the old lady. She tilted her glasses just so and started reading. AvalonGirl said sarcastically, “Gee, you have so many brains it’s a wonder they don’t explode.” “That’s your excuse.” I said, and while AvalonGirl looked at me in total and utter bewilderment, I just smiled a smug little smile and looked away.
“Well,” I replied, “I’m from New York. What’s YOUR excuse?”
Zinc looked at me in utter bewilderment. “Just joking,” I replied in a teasing tone. “By the way, do you have dementophobia or ephebiphobia or parthenophobia?”
Everyone looked at me with complete blanks for minds.
The old lady said “I’ll have one banana cream pie and one mashed brick pie. For my grandson.” I scrambled to pull some out of my backpack.
I shot back at AvalonGirl, “I have leporiphobia. Also, how can I be scared something if I am it?”
KA rooted around in his backpack for a second. He pulled the banana cream out first, and started leaning back to throw her the other one when I whispered, “Psst, that’s a mashed asphalt one!”
“Sorry” I said, and quickly put that away and took out the right pie. I handed them to the lady.
I glanced at KA like he was crazy and said to the lady, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I need to look at those pies for a second.” I took the pies, and, deciding to be merciful, threw the lemon meringue at the lady and the cemet with golf balls at a fern. I laughed manically and ran out the door.
“Zinc! NO LAUGHS!” I yelled, running through the door, and tossing pies back at the ladies.
Following Zinc was easy-she was, well, laughing! We hitched a ride on the stairwell banister for 5 stories-yeah, slightly crazy-and jumped off…
“WHEEE!” I screamed as I slid down the banister, insane as ever. Then I jumped off it and ran through the lobby, pausing at the reception desk. I slammed a fist down on the buttons, yelling the words “CHUCK NORRIS!!!” Then I ran out the revolving door, into the street.
“Street?” I groaned to myself. And then I grinned, running out the doors, pieing the receptionist with a banana cream pie on the way out.
Sirens? Oh, yeah, police. No big deal. I followed Zinc, both of us laughing crazily and pieing people randomly. And, of course, trying to pie each other (we never managed to, though!)
I did a series of one handed backflips, the other hand occupied with throwing pies. Every time my hands touched the ground, I yelled, “PWT PWNS!” Every time my feet touched the ground, I shouted, “BO KNOWS!” Then, laughing at those silly policeman and that silly AvalonGirl, I jumped maybe four feet and grabbed a window ledge. I quickly started climbing the skyscraper, the little voice inside my head egging me on. When I got to the top, I hitched my backpack more securely around my shoulders, and jumped.
I laughed and laughed, the little voice inside my mind laughing even more.
Then I pulled the cord, and my parachute popped out.
I floated down, making myself go faster, until I was kinda fast. Then I landed on a police car. I cracked up, pulled my normal bag out of my parachute bag, and ran to the river, where the boat still was.
((When I get crazy, I start going shizophrenic. Not in real life, of course. Here, in this RPG.))
I followed AvalonGirl and inc out of the building very sneakily. Then, I popped out behind Zinc, and yelled “SURPRISE!” very loudly in her ear.I took out a fresh banana cream and pied her.
AvalonGirl high-fived me. Zinc wiped cream furiously off her face and pied us both back. Before I even had the residue off myself, someone recognized us. “FUGITIVES!” the pudgy policeman yelled, pointing his hot dog with ketchup at KA.
“Ready…aim…PIE!” I yeled gleefully. Pies of all shapes and flavours flew pell-mell through the air at various pedestrians and the police officers.
I laughed at Aggie, laughed at the pie, laughed at AvalonGirl, laughed at the policeman, laughed at those old ladies- basically, I laughed at everything. I hopped into the boat.
I had been following along Zinc and AvalonGirl all along, so I jumped into the boat with them and screamed hysterically, “We are in So Much Trouble!” I took the paddle and started paddling away wtih the police hot in pursuit.
“WHEE!” I yelled in Aggie’s ear as the river raged past us, licking pie of of my face. I couldn’t hear the policeman’s shouts anymore, and came to my senses. “So,” I said, “What now?”
Suddenly, ahead of us, I spotted raging river rapids ((nice alliteration, eh?)) with spiky rocks. I quickly got out a rope and tied it into a lasso. I lassoed the nearest rock and used the leverage to turn then took it off and lassoed the next rock.
Seeing what KA was doing, I got out my rope (thankfully, I still had it) and helped him.
I pied Zinc and started screaming. After we passed the rapids, we went faster and faster until…
I looked down, and my eyes grew wide. “WATERFALL!!!”
We all screamed, falling hundreds of feet to the water below!
I quickly whipped my lasso back out and lassoed one of the rocks jutting out from the side. We came to an abrupt halt, and everyone was just hanging there. “Now what!” Zinc said sarcasticaly. I pied her.
I used my shoulder to wipe off the pie KA had pied me with, as my hands were occupied with HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!!! I looked down. “Ooh, I don’t feel too good…” I said, my stomach churning. KA and Aggie, who were hanging next to me, scooched away. “Good thinking…” I groaned, and tossed my cookies.
“Aww, gross!” I shouted. I had the painful experience of watching Zinc’s, “cookies” fall about 1000 feet before finally dissapearing (is that how you spell it) into the water. Then my stomach started making a fuss, and I added some apple pie to the mixture.
((how are we going to get out of this mess?))
“Oh, EW!” I commented.
Then realized it was probably good I hadn’t eaten anything that day so far.
“CUT THE ROPE AND JUMP!” I screamed over the roar of water. Not waiting, the rope was cut with a knife I used as a hairpin and now had lost.
And we started falling. “JUMP!” I screamed, pushing myself out of the boat and shrieking.
“AAAAAAAAAAAA!!” I screamed, falling, and plunging underwater. It was so cold, so cold, and then…
I bobbed back up to the surface. Looking around, I saw Zinc and KA bobbing back up as well, Zinc looking slightly green. I swam over to the both of them and helped them get onto the banks. “Well,” I commented, “How will we sell any pies NOW?”
I screamed and watched the other jump. I watched like it was TV as they hit the water, but I couldn’t let go. My fingers were stuck like glue to each side of the caoe. Just as I was about to be smashed to smithereens, I leapt from the boat, swinging and grabbing onto the side of the convenient roccky cliff face on which the waterfall was built. the canoe cracked in half on the pointy rocks below.
“HEEEEEEEEELP!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, doing what did best. “HELPHELPHELPHELPHELPMEEEEEEE!”
I heard a scream, and looked up-spotting Agrrrfishi clinging to the rock face.
“LEGGO OF THE ROCKS! IF YOU PUSH YOURSELF OFF, YOU’LL BE FINE!” I screamed back, deciding to get into the water to get Aggie when she fell.
I bobbed up from the murky depths to see Aggrrrfishi clinging to the rock face. I scrambled out of the water and shouted encouragement to Aggrrrfishi. I faintly heard a siren in the distance, then shouted to Aggrrrfishe, “Hurry up! The police are coming!”
“POLICE?” I yelled from the banks. “HOW DO POLICE GET DOWN HERE???!!!”
“Police?! You must be JOKING! How could police get down-”
I turned around to see a police boat speeding towards us.
“Here? Oh, CAKE!” I yelped, swimming increasingly fast in a attempt to get under the police boat. “SWIM FOR YOUR LIVES!” I screamed.
I yelped, and pressed myself onto a rock. My back didn’t touch anything.
I looked behind myself. “A tunnel!” I yelled. “Come on!”
I ran after Zinc into the tunnel, just making it in before the police fired off a warning shot with a dose of tranquilizer.
…tranquilizer?
Cake.
I followed Zinc into the tunnel and was creeped out by the bats on the ceiling and ran for my life, just missing the tranquilizer dart. I started pieing the polcemen as I ran through the tunnel and came to a split route. One had a light at the end of it and the other was just more darkness.
I reached the end of the tunnel, where it forked. One lead to a light; one lead to more darkness. I chose the one with the light, and I heard AvalonGirl snicker, “Don’t go into the light, Zinc!”
((Yes, that was borrowed from BA6. But it’s awesomeful.))
Suddenly, the light started to move closer, and I realized it was a police lamp. I pied them and ran into the darkness, blind, because I didn’t have time to get out a flashlight.
I heard them shouting to me, but was too busy concentrating on clinging on for ear life. Suddenly, there were sirens.
Wuh-oh,” I though to myself, and in the split second that I stopped paying attention I fell off the cliff face.
I rematerialized out of thin air in a tunnel next to Zinc. “AAAACK!” she screamed.
“How did you DO that?” AvalonGirl cried.
“I don’t know!” i cried. “One minute I was on that wall and the next i was right here. That must have been a rift in the space time continuum or something.”
“That can’t be good” KA muttered to himself, scratching his head.
“Never mind that, we’ve got police after us!” said Zinc impatiently. Suddenly, KA pied us and ran into the left tunnel as the police drew in closer on us. “Follow me!” he yelled.
“Ohbkay” I said, voice muffled by pie. We ran afte him. I pulled a flashlight out so we could see.
I wiped a bit of lemon meringue off of my face with my free hand, my other hand flinging pies behind me, not caring whom I hit. Then I used both hands as I heard a policeman yell, “WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS!!!”
Reinforcements…?
…Cake.
Making no signal for the others to follow, I swerved and ran directly toward the policeman, yelling my head off. The policeman froze in shock, and I ran through their ranks, still yelling.
((392-Yes. It is awesomeness.))
I realized that I should help Zinc cause general chaos, and started throwing tranquilizer pies. Hearing some THUMPs outside, I figured they had done their work.
And then looked outside.
There was a mob of hundreds of people charging towards us, screaming vulgar things. “CAKE!” I screamed, dashing into the lighted tunnel.
“MOB!” I yelped, and strated running after AvalonGirl,and dragging the all-too-willing Zinc behind me and away from the mob as she circled back.
“What was that?” I heard a policeman cry as we fled.
“I don’t know! his comrade replied. I snickered. Zinc, depsite the seriousness of the situation, made a goofy face behind her and cracked up. Realizing that athough the policewere on our tail the were not following us, we all began to skip gaily down the tunnel as the mob chased us with pitchforks.
I randomly threw pies at the mob and then realized that they might be good for business “buy a pie to support the Muse Scouts, anyone?” I said, “they’re good for throwing and most of them taste good. Most”
((Yes, I know, I’m crazy. Live with it.))
I stared at KA in giggling disbelief. “DON’T SELL THEM STUFF!” I cried once I had regained my composure. “RUN!”
He did.
Rather, we all did.
I sprinted, my hair swishing. “This is the bloody-” I said to AvalonGirl, who was running next to me, pausing to count on my fingers- “The bloody TWENTIETH time since Muse Scouts formed that we’ve been pursued by the police!” “Stupid sensitive people- can’t take a pie in the face!” she grumbled, flinging a pie behind her.
“You’re right!” Zinc replied, as I tossed some explosion pies backwards.
Without a word, I pushed myself up into a front flip. “I’ll hold them off!” I screamed, pushing Zinc ahead of me. “GO!”
I stayed behind for just a second with Avalongirl to give her some of my best liver pies, then dashed off with Zinc. Behind us, Avalongirl was making a valiant effort to fight off the oncoming mob, but a policeman snuck up from behind. “Avalongirl, from behind!” I yelled, but it was too late. She was handcuffed and taken into a police car, then driven away before I could do anything. “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Avalongirl!” I screamed, knowing it was hopeless, then stopping to catch my breath. I said to Zinc breathlessely, “We have to save her!” To which Zinc replied, “yeah, but we have to escape the mob first!” “Oh yeah” I said, and started pieing people with tranquilizer pies while running away.
((Hey Avalongirl, if you want to rejoin the fight, jump out the window or something.))
((SFTDP, but is anyone going to post?))
((403: Hey, I just got home. New thread?))
((New thread?))
((405-Do you mean we should start a new story?))
((406: Well, if anyone wants to, sure. But I was just saying that we’re over 400 posts, so a new thread would be nice.))
((Ok, a new thread would be nice, but until the GAPA’s grant our request, lets just continue on this one. How come no one but you and me are posting?))
((I’m here. Sorry, I’ve been away for awhile.
GAPAS, it seems that we call for a new thread. Would you accept our plea?))
