Oh em jee, I requested this like 5 minutes ago! Thanks GAPAs!
Why are there two threads?
Two GAPAs rushing to oblige you. Rosanne made hers first, so I’ve deleted mine.
I’ll repost what I said before since it really belongs here:
“SO: Right now, there’s 3 issues at hand!
~the natives
~HMBs
~the megaphone phenomenon
I put these in order of importance, but that can be disputed. Comments? Updates?”
Details available on the Ships’ Logs and Chronicles IV threads.
Okay, role call! Let us know you’re here by getting in on the action!
I’m here, the first immigrant, although there were people here before me.
Everyone who has come/might have come since then:
People who came on The Wraith:
Necromancer
Kagcomix
T.N.Ö.
iwanttobeamuffin
kiwimuncher (maybe)
Cheesy (maybe)
Shadowkat (maybe)
Alice (maybe)
People who immigrated:
Ruffled Grouse (maybe)
Does this have something to do with Museica? Sorry…I kinda got lost on that thread. What is this about…?
Hi!
POPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPo
Pie isle gets a whole thread! YAY! *pies all in sight in celeration*
Please answer my poll, and if that link doesn’t work, click here. Thank you.
The HAWK
O.K, So are Pie Isle discussions happening here now? I’m a bit confused. I mean, first it was on the Ship’s log’s thread, then the Musieca thread, and now it’s here. (I think) Enlighten me. Also, I found a HMB lieing on the ground in the forest, right next to the river. It appeared to be in a not-very-alive-any-more condition. (ie – dead) I noticed no major wounds, but I haven’t, of yet, examined it closely. It seems that we have three possible causes of death –
1) That some natives came and shot it, either for sport or food and
a) Hid when they saw me, and either
i) Are still lurking around somewhere
, which is a scary thought,
ii) Ran.
b) Had already gone.
OR
2) That a ferocious wild animal killed it, in which case we should be very careful.
OR
3) A new gramaphone has come, killed the bunny and left.
Oh yes, forgot to say, I am shouting at the top of my lungs, using a randomly found Megaphone, which doesn’t appear to be dangerous (I hope), for Captain Necromancer to assist me in this scary task. Or anyone else who can hear me. To get to where I am, you most take a jelly boat round to the far side of the island, and then follow the first river that leads inward, which I am now naming the “Very small and skinny river that you don’t want to sail on unless you have to” River. I discovered it while exploring. Alas, I didn’t notice that it got very small and skinny until it was too late to go back.
And, in my previous comment, I meant megaphone.
5: Yes, the inhabitants of Museica discovered this island.
6: Hi! would you like to join?
7: um
9: heh heh, about that. It actually started on the Museica thread, then temporarily went to Ships’ Logs, but now is here on this thread to stay. Sorry to all confused people!
10: What task are you doing that you need help with? Anyhow, I’m coming over there! Wish me luck on the VSASRTYDWTSOUYHT River!
in the description thingy for this thread it says Museicians. is that supposed to be Museicans?
9-You mean an HPB?
This morning, when I woke up and stepped up to the deck of my ship, the Iron Rose, I’m pretty sure I saw some movement on the shores of Pie Isle…I couldn’t really tell what it was, but it looked lime green, and big. Curious, but also slightly apprehensive, I picked up my Whipping Creamer and headed into the P.I. forest to investigate. What I found astonished me: lime green goo, of sorts, that glowed and smelled like caramel-apples…I don’t know where it came from, but I doubt it’s good.
Shadowkat out.
13: No, they are HMBs, a variation of HPB’s, because they are maroon or magenta.
Hm, there’s faint traces of that goo in this river.
I can’t wait for you guys to explore this and start a colony, because then I can make a map
13-i don’t know what it is, but it sounds yummy. can i have some?
14-Oh…ok.
15-Oh, and, if you can figure it all out, you have my permission to make a map of the PPP…I want to, but don’t have the time, honestly. But you don’t have to…it’s not really your deal, but I’m saying it can be, so whatever you want to do, do it.
16-I wouldn’t do it, if I were you…you don’t know what it might do to you…
I’m going to test that goo.
*takes sample of goo and licks*
Whoa!!! That goo has an over-powering sugary taste! And I feel kind of funny…
*flashes into shadow form*
Wowzers! It looks like, if you eat the goo, it gives you special powers relating to your MB Identity! Oh, man…
*takes shadow form and stalks off into forest, Whipping Creamer held at the ready*
(Heard off in the distance:) I’m practically invisible!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!
Nooooooo… I am a doctor on the Black-Footed Ferret. I was just helping. Or trying to help. How is Cheesy feeling?
Sorry Dot Keet, but I requested this first. I was tired of arguing with you, so I just asked the GAPAs on the Random thread.
7- Sowwy.
Canix- Are maps easy or hard to make?
20- The maps are easy. The hard part is sending them to the Gapas.
11- Thank you so much! I am investigating the mysterious death of a HMB. Help! I see some movement in the bushes! It might be savage or nice natives, or an extremely dangerous wild animal, or the random megaphone back to kill us all!
It’s shadowkat! YAY!
12: emmatheduck, I wrote Museicians because that’s the term I use for inhabitants of Museica. I pronounce it like the word “musicians” but change the second syllable to “zay” (rhymes with “day”). It sounds like “myu-zay-shuns.”
I realize now that my spelling and pronounciation are idiosyncratic.
Necromancer – What happened to the rest of your crew? I only read the first thread and a bit of the second (Where you were Bellatrix Lestrange) and back then you had lots! Now you only have … i’m not sure, but they are differant.
everyone is different 25!
bye
23-Thank you! I feel so loved!
the natives are hedgehogs that are extremely intgeligent but are being forced to do bad things by a evil force.
but some hedgehogs are standing up to this force. they are known as the hedgehog rebellians! i lead this force. part hedgehog, part boy, i vow to defeat this evil force!
the hedgehogs are kinda like inteligent ewoks
and i am a boy who can have spikes come out of any part of his body but can also turn into the native form
25 – Well, I had a jolly good crew for a while, but they all deserted me, and then I got another completely different jolly good crew, and we kind of deserted each other (I disappeared, I don’t know what happened after that). So now I had another crew, but it seems it’s just you and me now, Muffin.
28, 29 – Sorry, but that doesn’t quite go along with what we already have. The natives are hominids – nothing else is known about them, except that they have exceptional skill at the blow dart.
Oh wait, this could be interesting…
~~SHIP’S LOG~~
[yes, this is still my ship’s log. Nothing you say can change this.]
We have just corresponded with a native of Pie Isle. It seems that the natives are cousins of the LIRs (Large Intelligent Rodents) – the natives are LIHs: Large Intelligent Hedgehogs.
28: important development! do the evil hedgehogs have poison spikes they can shoot out of themselves? that would really explain the poison darts…
19: Ah, no wonder it was so fast. Sorry I was argumentative; wasn’t trying to start trouble! Warning to all: never weave a storyline into multiple threads like I did, people will not appreciate it!
22: Well, I’ve finally arrived, and wow, that was a treacherous river! This dead bunny is slightly darker in color than the others we’ve seen. Could this be related to the cause of death?
31- I think we can leave natives out of it now. It was almost definately poison – that means hedgehogs or gramaphones. Yes – terrible river. Shadowkat is here as well, although you might not be able to see him well is he is still in shadow form. I wont eat any of that stuff- I would rather stay as a human than a muffin.
im here too i was hypermoocow but now im polkaspottedcandycane
All i want 2 say is……………………………………
MUSE RUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:))) GO MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-0
im SCARY!
Welcome to the blog, BobbyJoe! Just, keep in mind that pointless posts like that generally aren’t very nice to see on the blog and some people might think less of you for them.
31 – Ah, it’s alright. I was pretty harsh myself, too. Yah, sorry ’bout that, I’ve just been kind of busy lately and was feeling kind of ticked off at other people, so I’m sorry.
Let’s hug and be friends! Yay!
Oh, and Shadowkat’s a girl. Female.
I’m a girl too.
Dot Keet’s a girl.
Muffin’s a girl.
Ruffled Grouse is a girl (I think).
Um, Cat’s Meow is a… girl? Please don’t pie me if I’m getting this wrong! I’m just really really bad with identifying genders.
Canix is a boy, but he doesn’t post here.
Jeez, are all the regular posters here FEMALE?
Oh, I forgot, hedgehogboy5 is male. Because his name clearly states he’s a boy.
Yes, I’m quite sure I got this one right.
Yay HB5!
Okay, I need to stop my rambling. I’m still ticked off at people.
I post here occasionally, but my business is with Museica, so I don’t do it often.
~~SHIP’S LOG: Scene 24~~ (yah, I just watched Monty Python)
Get ready for another one of my really really long posts! (Gee, I must specialize in these things).
Oh, and lots of parentheses.
So, here are the facts (and suspicions) so far about this strange and unusual Isle:
1) This isle was discovered quite a long time ago. We are finally charting it out and are being constantly surprised by what we find.
2) The island is inhabited by natives (see number 3) and Hot Maroon/Magneta Bunnies, now known as HMBs, not to be confused with Hot Pink Bunnies, HPBs.
3) The natives are hedgehogs that are extremely intelligent but are being forced to do bad things by a evil force. But some hedgehogs are standing up to this force. They are known as the hedgehog rebellians (they need a spiffier name, methinks)! The leader of this force is hedgehogboy5, who vows to defeat the evil force.
3 ¼) The hedgehogs resemble intelligent Ewoks (reference to Star Wars, people). These hedgehogs are LIHs, Large Intelligent Hedgehogs, perhaps relatives of the Large Intellegent Rodents (LIRs). hedgehogboy5 has apparently eaten the green goo (look at number 4), for he can have spikes come out of any part of his body, though he can also turn into the native hedgehog form. The LIHs may have the ability to shoot poison spikes from their hide, which would account for the “poison darts†we found earlier, before this thread. [Taken and edited from posts 28-29, with some additions of my own.]
3 ½) It is unknown what the evil force is.
Changed my mind – I’ve continued this list in the next post, so read on! ( I didn’t want to discourage people from reading this).
~~SHIP’S LOG: A continuation of Scene 24~~
4) There is a green goo that lies around the island that apparently gives Museicans powers related to their name. Shadowkat bravely tasted the goo and became a shadow carrying around some Whipping Cream (or something like that). It is not yet determined how long the effects of the goo last.
5) Megaphones and gramaphones (there’s a difference, people!) keep randomly appearing on the isle. We do not yet know where they come from, but it is suspected that they may be dangerous.
6) Papayas are an awesome fruit, but I really don’t care for them. It’s just really fun to say. Haha, random fact.
So that’s that, pretty much. Did I miss anything? Sorry, I just kind of felt it was time for a summary, I was starting to get confuzzled.
Anyways…
Shadowkat must be studied closely. Mind you, the goo could be the evil force our informant hedgehogboy5 has been talking about. Or maybe there are two goos, and we’ve only so far found one, and the other one is the evil force.
Hmmmmmmmmm… I’m betting on a chartreuse goo.
Anyways,
NO ONE ELSE SHOULD DIGEST THE GOO. WE DO NOT YET KNOW THE SIDEFFECTS, AND IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED HIGHLY DANGEROUS.
Oh, and Dot Keet? Referring to your post in which you apologize to me, I just wanted to say that we were both being argumentative, and I’m quite sorry if you got annoyed with me.
Just had to get that out of my system.
Necromancer, you missed the case of the poisoned HMB in a not-very-alive-condition. Me, Dot Keet and Shadowkat are currently investigating its death. Come and join us! You can take a jellyboat and come by the VSASRTYDWTSOUYHT river. See post 10 if this name confuzzles you. Oh wait, you can’t now. We are just leaving. And oh well. You are very good at getting crews, so just keep trying. I’m still here. Even though I have school. Also, just incase you didn’t read my post on the Ships’ logs thread, I have appointed myself as cook. Although I will do other things too. And I would like the small cabin by the stairs. Thanks! Shadowkat’s a girl? Strange, I had it down as the other way round. No offence, Shadowkat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ships Log~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The case of the death of the HMB is just about coming to and end for now. Not because it is closed, but because we have no clues left, and I have to get back to cook dinner for the remaining crew of the Wraith. Investigations will continue at a later date – ie, when we find a better way over here than the VSASRTYDWTSOUYHT river. Dinner tonight is roasted purplefish, which abound around the island, with chocolate chip cookies for Dessert. Will the crew & captain please state meal like/dislikes? I am running out of ideas, and if you don’t you might find yourself with black pudding tommorow. Are any of you Veggatarians? I’m not, but just wondering. I have to leave for now though, so so long….
i want to take a jelly boat!!! it sounds fun! i can be assistant cook if u want. what about different types of pie, seeing as this is the pie isle. here are some suggestions:
crispy pie
pasty
puff pastry
shortcrust pastry
hot water crust pastry
eskimo pie
moon pie
and i have more if u want it
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im being chased by the LIHs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! quick,polkaspottedcandycane! pie them! *gives strangled gurgle*
43-Lol…none taken…I thought PC was a girl, and he’s not, so…it happens!
I’m so confused… Request to immigrate?
44 – I would appreciate a formal request to join my crew. It’s not polite to just barge onto the ship, y’know. As for assistant cook, we don’t really need one, but you can ask Muffin if she’ll accept you. There are still lots of other positions to be filled. After you’ve requested to join.
45 – Woah, are you new? Shall you be an immigrant or shall you join my crew of mercenaries? We are currently working for Dot Keet…
47 – Welcome! You have my permission to immigrate. I’m not really the one to give you permission, since this is just a job for me, but since we (meaning Dot Keet and I) now know you’re here, you can join the population!
PEOPLE! WE DON’T HAVE JELLYBOATS YET!
I need to take a special trip to the Achipelago where they were originally found and scout out some. They just kind of randomly appeared, last time, so maybe some will come up.
BUT NOT YET!
We’re just using regular boats for now.
48 – Oh, sorry. I thought we did. I was certain… Oh well. 47 – Why don’t you join the crew of the Wraith. At the moment we have an all female crew-of-two, (Because johnkerry , who I think is a boy, hasn’t officialy asked to join yet,) and it would be nice to make it an all female crew-of-three. Even though it doesn’t rhyme quite so well. (You are a girl right?) I suppose that I can’t really give permission, but Necromancer is nice. Just ask politely, and I’m sure she will let you join.
44- I like the pie idea, so we are eating chicken pie tonight, along with pretzels and a blueberry pie for dessert. I suppose that once you have asked the Captain’s permission to join the crew, you can be my assistant cook, but you have to do something else too. Point – Unless you are a girl, which I don’t think you are, watch out on board the ship. I have approximately 0% tolerance of boys right now, and after reading some of the tricks that Mel and Otzi played on each other in the first thread, I am well prepared….
Necromancer, do we have any of that edible glue left?
Another of my long, rambling posts that is on the borderline of random… Most of it’s in response to post 49…
Muffin, I lurv you! (not really, but you’re now deemed the title of “Awesomely Kewl”) I had completely forgotten about my LIR’s edible glue! We dont’ have any left, since this isn’t my orginal ship, but i’m sure some the LIRs will remember the recipie!
Haha, I remember the tricks of Otzi and Mel! Gawd, that was funny… especially the hammock prank.
But no pranks. Yet. Our crew’s not big enough for pranks. Yet.
Hold on… Muffin, you actually red the old threads?! Wow… you’ve earned my respect… I rarely venture into the Lair of Forgotten Secrets (aka Old Threads). [Hey, that’s pretty good… Lair of Forgotten Secrets… nice ring to it…]
And that’s Captain Necromancer to you! Bah, nice indeed…
Hehe, just kidding. I am a nice capitan (even though we are mercenaries…). And you may call me Necromancer… or Bellatrix… or Sir… or Ma’am… or Necrotrix (name given to me on some ancient thread)… or Captain Necrotrix…
Q: Muffin, don’t you have school today, March 30th? We’ve got parent teacher conferences at my school, so it’s my day off, and I narrowly escaped a grounding… so what’ your excuse? Are you playing hooky? Course not, stupid question, Muffin’s a nice person. So far…
Note that this post has lots of “…” in it – i’m feeling kind of spaced out right now…
Also: Whenever I misspell “Captain” and write “Capitan” instead, it’s on purpose – I’m writing “Cap-ee-tahn” instead of “Cap-ten”
47 – yes, Evie, you should definitely join my crew! We’ve had lots of fun on the high seas in the past.
A warning: if you’re an immigrant, this is your thread. If you join my crew, we’ll move back to the Ship’s Log thread when we’re done here.
You can be undecided for now, if you’d like. You can be our first Person-Who-Just-Happens-To-Be-On-The-Island! Now wouldn’t that be cool!
49 – Muffin, just to let you know, I also have plans to fetch another GOEB from that island of long ago.
Edible glue?!?! I want to join the Wraith’s crew…
Um, I can… steer? ^.- And kick people in the shins? And fuzz heads?
…need to work on my list of qualifications or shall never get a job.
Darn… wel l w00t for recipes remembered. There shall be more edible glue then… hopefully… :'(
…I wanna be First-Person-Who-Just-Happens-to-Be-On-The-Island… who also is starving to death due to lack of Edible Glue which is the only edible thing she’s aware of…
^^; Sorry nvm.
52-54 – Um, Evie? Which are you: Wraith crew or Person-Who-Just-Happens-to-Be-On-The-Island? You kind of said both in your last posts…
Muffin: I’d like you to be my first mate (seeing as you’re the only one left from my crew now). You can still be cook, too.
I have decided we shall not have a quartermaster on board the Wraith, because they’re kind of like the Union leader, and I don’t particularly feel like dealing with Unions right now. Besides, this is my ship – you don’t like it, LEAVE. I’m not surrendering my ship to anyone. No muntinies allowed.
And we don’t need a boatswain – they look over the juinior officers, and since we don’t have junior officers, we don’t need a boatswain. I guess I’m kind of boatswain, since I look after the LIRs, but they are extrememly faithful to me, so I don’t really have to worry about that.
Evie could be Sailing Master, who specializes in Navigation and steers the ship.
Oh, and I just found another definiton of “boatswain”: The Boatswain supervised the maintenance of the vessel and its supply stores. He was responsible for inspecting the ship and it’s sails and rigging each morning, and reporting their state to the captain. The Boatswain was also in charge of all deck activities, including weighing and dropping anchor, and the handling of the sails.
So we could have a Boatswain.
And a cabin boy is always nice.
I’m really sorry, Necromancer… I’m screwing up a lot in getting behind track with this forum system… I didn’t know there was a possiblility of Person-Who-Just-Happens-To-Be-On-Island when I was talking about the Wraith. ^^; Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry…
*Shadowkat flits into shadow form and races after johnkerry and the renegade LIH’s*
Sidenote: It would appear that the use of new-found-goo-induced powers is voluntary and/or selective.
57 – Woah, dude, relax! No need to apologize – everyone gets confused sometimes.
Let me explain – you asked permission to be an immigrant, so I offered you a position on my ship, The Wraith. I also said that if you didn’t want to be on my ship, you could be an immigrant. And if you didn’t want to be an immigrant, but didn’t want to be on my ship, you could be the Person-Who-Just-Happens-to-Be-On-The-Island.
So you have three offers:
1) Join my crew and be Sailing Master
2) Join Dot Keet and become an immigrant to Pie Isle
3) Or do neither and be the Person-Who-Just-Happens-to-Be-On-The-Island
It’s your choice. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.
And don’t be scared by my long posts. I tend to get lots of thoughts, and then they clutter up inside my head, and then they just kind of spill out onto the blog.
And hey – when I first started out, I was pretty screwed up too. I have been on this blog since the December 31, 2005, so I know my way around.
Hakuna Matata!
Umm… I think I’d like to be a Master of something. If that’s okay.
Long posts= not scary. I make fairly long posts for short-stupid ideas so they’re normal… not implying you write about short-stupid ideas. Do you ever have that problem where your fingers get ahead of your brain and you miss letters or even entire words?
Argh, meaning if that wasn’t clear that if it’s really all right with you I’d like to be Sailing Master on your crew and I’m a girl so if you haven’t recently gotten any men it’d still be all-girl. 0.-
Hi everyone! We have so many newcomers to Pie Isle scurrying around and getting organized, this thread is slowly occupying more and more of my thinkspace!
42: That’s all right, Necromancer, it’s long over now! Say, are you still taking refuge on your ship? We’ve set up a number of small but secure camps during our various escapades, and you’re welcome to stay in them and join us in our explorations!
Don’t worry Evie, the blog can be overwhelming at times. Would you like to join Shadowkat, Muffin, and I’s coalition? (Shadowkat and Muffin: I’ve decided to call us a coalition since we are an informal group undertaking various missions together, and also because “troupe” implies that we sing a lot and “gang” sounds too criminal. “Coaliton” normally means a temporary alliance, which works out since we all have other jobs, but we should still have a cool name!) We just put the Investigation of the Dead HMB on hiatus, and are currently going to rescue johnkerry from some LIHs. It looks like we’re going to have to find an alternate route to wherever he is (please give us some clue, johnkerry), since it is highly risky to take the VSASRTYDWTSOUYHT River.
Why is it risky to to take the VSASRTYDWTSOUYHT River? (muwahaha I didn’t copy that…)
I wanted to be Sailing Master on the Wraith’s crew…?
Hi Dot Keet, by the way. ^^;
63: Because VSASRTYDWTSOUYHT stands for “Very small and skinny river that you don’t want to sail on unless you have to”.
I hadn’t seen the last five or so posts when I made that offer. I just saw that at one point, when you were apologizing I think it was, you said you wanted to just be “person on the island” or something. So, yep, you can join whatever you choose, and if you’re on The Wraith‘s crew, you can still join our coalition if you want. In fact, Muffin is The Wraith‘s cook and Shadowkat seems to have a whole fleet of ships.
That’d be fun. Can I be a minon somewhere-somehow?
the VSASRTYDWTSOUYHT River sounds fun… they should make it a roller coaster.
63 – Yes, you may! I would be happy to take you in.
65 – Naw, Shadowkat’s got The Iron Rose, though she doesn’t have a crew and doesn’t seem to go sailing very often.
Say, that gives me an idea…
Shadowkat, would you like to make a deal with me? Since you have no crew, how about we join together and make the first mercenary fleet. We would be co-captains, of course. You and I (and Muffin), sailing the open seas, looking for adventure…
It could be profitable to the both of us.
*snort* that was a corny line.
But really, think it over…

~SHIP’S LOG~~
I have decided to finally visit the Isle. I have been aboard the ship the whole time. [And I just realized that one of my really good posts was not posted – it was way back at the beginning of this thread, but it’s not there, so poo.]
Has anyone be bothered by Megaphones lately? Seems not…
I have decided to investigate the source of the Megaphones. It is still a mystery that should be resolved before settlement begins.
I shall start out alone on this journey, but shall allow one companion to come, if someone wishes to. I have left a large medallion on the table in my Captain’s Quarters – if you wish to join me, simply place your hand on the medallion and chant these words:
Pies lesu Domine
Dona eis Requiem
[Whoever can tell me what that’s from gets 10 Hot Pink Bunny Points! Don’t bother asking what those are, just know that they are awesomly kewl…]
You shall then be whooshed to my side. Seriously, there shall be a loud WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH when you come. Pretty awesome, yah?
The medallion’s one time use, so choose among yourselves who comes!
So, farewell! I shall record my adventures on the usual place. (duh, this thread!). I hope to discover the Secrets of the Megaphones, Hedgehogs, Goo, VSASRTYDWTSOUYHT, and other things.
Wah, I won’t get to go WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH because I cannot get to the Captain’s Room.
…where’s the Ship Log? Or should I not go there?
50- Yes. I had school on the 30th, but as I am posting in a differant time zone – A.K.A the other side of the Alantic- where it says that it is 10:39 it is actually about 5 or 6 in the evening. And yes, I read some of the old threads. So far I have only read the 1st two ships logs threads, and the great pie war thread, but will try to read more. It’s just that they so long to read that I am spending about an hour on each one!
67- As it’s currently only Evie and me in your crew, and you have gone, and Evie can’t go, I’ll join you. Sorry coalition, I will have to leave you for now. Maybe our paths will cross? Anyhow, good luck!
Before I leave, I would like to say to Captain Necromancer that I would love to be your first mate. As long as I can be cook as well. Evie, I have left some pre-made food packages on the kitchen table. They smell nice, so if you are lost just follow your nose! There is enough to last until the 14th of April. If I am not back by then, you will have to cook for yourself or fall on Dot Keet’s hospitality(sp?). She is a good cook I hear. At the moment you should not go to the ships log thread. Nothing to do with us is happening there. It is only other crews that post there.
Ok, I think that is everything. I am standing in front of the large medallion with my hand on it. Here goes;
“Pies lesu Domine
Dona eis Requiem”
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
Wayhey! It worked! I have just joined Necromancer! Go magic charms and medallions!
Evie is very sad- all alone!
On the other hand…
^^ Yay for one-person-wild-parties!
69 – ah! that would explain it…
68 – the Ship’s Log thread will most likely be slightly boring, as last I checked, they were discussing what their uniform should be aboard Canix’s ship. But you can find it at
70 – yes, one-person-wild-parties are indeed spiff!
~~SHIP’S LOG~~
Huzahh (purposeful misspelling)! We have started on our quest… for the Holy Grail! No, not really, just some megaphones and other odd things. So…
Ships’ Logs will soon pick up. Our pleasure cruise is almost over, and then we will explore the South Pole!
*there was a message here, but due to loud metal music and flying-blinding champagne you are unable to hear nor read it- apologies*
~~SHIP’S LOG~~
[yes, I know I’m on land, I don’t particularly care]
I was joined earlier today by Muffin. I already deep into the jungle, tracking a large creature, when I was distracted by a loud WHOOOOOOOOOOSHing sound. Sure enough, there was Muffin.
The thing I am tracking is no one of the natives – I do not yet know what it is, for it does not resemble any animal I am familiar with. This creature is most likely quite tall, judging by the signs and disturbed foliage – I would estimate 6 ½ feet (sorry metric people). The footprints left in a patch of wet mud would resemble those of a bird, except they are quite smeared, suggesting that lots of hair surrounds the foot and toes. A few inches beyond each toe there is a little, deep dot, which would show that each toe is clawed. Also left behind in the mud, a few asparagus/olive green hairs. If the entire creature is colored this way, it can easily blend into the forest.
This creature, I think, is moving quite slowly through the jungle. The tracks are still fresh, so we are bound to catch up with it soon.
Plenty of birdcalls from ahead. One especially prominent call from high above in the tree tops sounds like that of a White Ibis, which is a large shorebird of eastern North America. Curious place this is…
But enough about animals.
The jungle botany here is fantastic! Most trees are smooth barked (a curious trait of these trees), and the ones that are rough-barked have dangerous-looking flowers growing around them. These flowers are colored a gorgeous plum, with lavender stripes (like the grain of a piece of wood), and you would swear that it looked friendly if you didn’t see the large teeth.
There are many vines. Ordinary vines. So far.
Lots of floor greenery. Bushes and such.
An unusual amount of orchids everywhere. I do love orchids, but this is a bit of an overdose.

No sign of megaphones, natives, or goo.
*the music has been turned down and we are out of champagne… but mumbling under breath about how it figures that as soon as you join a crew it’s only other members go off on an expedition… there’s a conspiracy going on around here… anyway so you still can’t hear/read the message intended to be here. Ain’t that a shame*course not*is too*isnot*istoo*not*too*not*OHSHUTUP*…*too…*
Muffin, I am a bit concerned about our newest member, Evie. She seems to be talking to herself.
LIRs, I want you to look after her. Squeak Squak Squeakitty Squawkin Squek Squeakers!
Oh all right…
Evie, would you like to come along on our expedition?
I have transported a large pine cone to the deck of The Wraith. If you touch the rock, say:
“Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”
you should be transported to my side. It might take a couple of times, the pine cone’s quite stubborn about things like this. Sorry, no whooshing sound. Maybe a loud ticking noise. And it’ll be a rough ride – you’ll be changing dimensions 3 or 4 times before you get to me. Don’t worry, you’ll be changed back to your regular dimension.
The cone is, of course, one time use.
And if anyone wants to come with Evie, they better hurry.
If Evie even wants to come.
66: minion? What kind? Anyway, glad you’re finally enjoying yourself with a party. And we’ll consider that roller coaster idea once the island is settled.
69: Ah, well. I did say it was temporary.
Evie has tackled the pine cone. You may not be able to understand but
Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”
Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.”
And so we destroy the blog… indeed we do… yes we get in big trouble… why do we have to get in trouble…? we just do… I think someone was going to watch after us if we stayed… that might’ve been fun… then why’d you go screaming? no reason… dumbarsh… am not…
okay we shut up now. ^^; Very sorry.
78
The kind of minon that will go off and do stupid things at the slightest implication of a demand, order, or idea of any sort. But only when she feels like it. The rest of the time you have to yell at her to get off her fat lazy buuuuuuuuu- okay we’re good. ^^;
Necromancer, I fear that Evie has gone mad. Maybe the bunnies got her. They got me, and were going to get you too…. Did they? I hope not. Having a bunny possessed mind is scary. So, which problem are we going to tackle first? And had Evie joined us or not? I am confused.
Haha! I escaped the evil bunnies! I left my mind behind, but oh well!
Ahem.
Herm.
…
ACK!
…
there. that’s better. just had to get it out of my system.
Anyways, Evie finally appeared after quite a long time, so yah, it’s all good.
Erm, nothing to report.
stop it, stop, I can’t hear you, no I can’t, stop talking to me, there are no voices in my head, I’m ignoring you, stoopid little voices, I’m going to ignore, yes, that’s it, ignore you, OH SHUT UP!
Necromancer-I like your proposal (sorry I didn’t get around to responding to it sooner), and if you want to draw up a contract of sorts, I’ll read it over, and undoubtedly gladly sign!
yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!! im alive! reqest to join crew
Hm… Having just returned from my megaphone hunt, I have made some interesting discoveries:
1. The megaphones seem to appear mostly around some very peculiar trees scattered randomly around the Isle. The trees bring herrings to mind when seen from the side; from above they look like swallows.
2. The herring/swallow trees make a sound like clinking glass when tapped.
3. HMBs seem to have territories mainly within a 45 foot radius of the herring/swallow trees.
4. The natives seem to avoid the herring/swallow trees, and the HMB territories around them.
I have drawn several conclusions from these observations:
1. The herring/swallow trees either create the megaphones or somehow attract them after they have been made.
2. Something about the herring/swallow trees is
a. attractive to HMBs
and
b. repulsive to the natives.
3. If the HMBs truly aren’t hostile, then the herring/swallow trees and the surrounding HMB territory are the safest places on the Isle itself to be in case of an attack by the natives.I believe that there is something bigger than we ever imagined going on here. What it is (or if I am even correct), only time will tell.
Also, in my week-long expedition, I discovered another interesting plant. It reeks of rotting swamps, but there is a sweet underlying scent. This plant looks a bit like a yellow fang sticking up out of a mess of tangled, hair-like fibers that resemble a jellyfish net, the kind that was used to keep out jellies. I am calling it a shplurt, in holding with its strange appearance.
The funny thing about this particular flower is its apparent affect on my parakeet, Xavier. As I approached the Shplurt, I felt no ill affects, but Xavier became increasingly fatigued until he fell off my shoulder and became unconsious. As soon as I brought him out of the smelling distance of the Shplurt, he woke up and returned to his normal vigor. It would seem that the Shplurt is a hunter of small animals, or perhaps just birds.TNÖ
whoop! ignore the italics and indentations – nasty HTML.
83: does this mean you don’t need rescuing from the LIHs anymore? Tell us if not (Shadowkat was on her way to you.)
Hey Shadowkat: do you want to still have our coalition? What should our next mission be?
84: So that’s where you’ve been all this time! Nice to see you back!
86- wel realy ive been in arizona with no int connection. but oh well.
69- it might be to late, but “Pies lesu Domine
Dona eis Requiem” is from Monty Python. Do I get the points?
*touches pinecone*
Oh Great and Powerful Pine Cone, I beseech thee to take me to my captain’s side, the good Necromancer, and if you do, I shall be forever greatful.
*relizes pinecone is no longer funcional*
Hm. This could pose a slight problem. SADDLE MY HORSE! *jumps on horse and, accompanied by Xavier, gallops over to Necromancer and Evie’s location*
Ahoy! What are we doing now? Looking for natives? Goo? Megaphones?
—
I recently went to investigate a noise in the clump of orchids nearby. When I reached the source, I found myself at the top of a small cliff, perhaps twelve feet hight. Below me, some sort of ceremonial sacrifice was being carried out. A disheveled looking HMB cowered in the center of an oval of natives armed with blow guns. The natives were slowly closing in on the defenseless HMB. Suddenly, the largest native jumped forward and poked the HMB with a syringe, which he was holding in place of a blow gun. He pulled the HMB’s maroon color right out of it, then, to my great astonishment, he tipped his beaked head back and squirted the maroon into his mouth.
The moment the color left the unfortunate HMB, it turned a horrid gray color and slumped over. As I watched with fascination and horror, the native with the syringe proceeded to swallow the maroon and draw some olive-colored liquid, blood perhaps, from his tounge. Then, he transfered this maybe-blood into the limp HMB, which became more birdlike in appearance, and turned the color of the natives. It rose to its full height and I was horrified to see that it was now a sort of miniature native crossed with a mutant HMB.
Disgusted, I stumbled back to Zé and Xavier and rode at top speed to the nearest herring/swallow tree. There I met up with some frightened-looking HMBs who, upon learning that I had witnessed the terrible fate of the captured HMB, asked if there was anything I could do to help them. I agreed to do all I could to stop the natives from hunting the HMBs.
However, when I asked them about the native’s apparent avoidance of the herring/swallow trees and the area within a 45 foot radius of them, they replied that they had no idea whatsoever. I suppose that that’s a mystery better left for later times.
—
Now, although I don’t claim to be an expert on island conquering, I believe we should try to capture a native and see if we can possibly get some answers. It will be terribly risky, but if these natives can speak it may lead to valuble insights on how to go about conquering them.
For now, I am going to run an experiment with the bark and leaves of the herring/swallow trees, to see if they are what repels the natives. If it is, I believe it might be possible to create virtual force fields for anyone who wishes to further study the natives.
TNÖ
oh. Zé is my horse, by the way.
(67, 88),
Close. The sentence is “Pie Iesu Domine / Dona eis requiem” (No “s” at the end of “pie”), pronounced “PEE-ay YAYzu DOminay, DOUGHna AYees REH-kwee-em.” In Latin it means “sweet Lord Jesus, give them rest.” Monty Python didn’t invent it; it’s part of some versions of the ancient Roman Catholic mass for the dead.
Dot Keet-Of course we’re still part of a coalition…let’s find there LIH’s hide-out! Sound like a plan?
*the
Necromancer, what were you tracking when I found you? And TNO is back! Sorry, I can’t do the accents.
May I join someone’s crew? I am new to Museblog and would like to join a crew. Qualifications:smart and nerdy, like all MBs, am great at experimenting with chemicals and love to play Scrabble! Hmm. May need to work on that a little bit! Also, I just recently found 3 slaughtered HMBs on the western shore of Pie Isle. No idea what they were doing there, but I bet the natives have something to do with it. Also, I saw a HMB in the forest today, alive and healthy. But it wasn’t an HMB. It was a Hot Cerulean Bunny!!!! I call it a HCB. Maybe they have something to do with all of the deaths of the HMBs.
If you want to join someone’s crew, Donaldo, go here. It’s the main center for sea (and space) voyages.
94-Welcome! Here’s a pie, but you can get more here. *PIE!* You can join me on my continent, Zogtiff. It is a developing nation, and you can be chair of the decision-making council if you like. Welcome again!
thank you Prarilius and THE HAWK!
I also forgot to say that I found a lot more HCBs in the forests near the Western SHore. I believe they have something to do with the HMBs/natives dispute, especially with the herring/swallow trees.
well , you crazy captain? REQUEST TO JOIN CREW! say yes or no!
well?
Shadowkat, I’m glad you like my proposal! I’m kind of short on time right now, but i’ll write up a contract as soon as I can!
johnkerry, Request granted! Welcome aboard.
TNO, you’ve returned! Huzzah! Excellent observations of the wildlife. They could definitely come in handy. And you talked to the HMBs?! Wow. Read the Ship’s Log below.
Donaldo, you are now one of my favorite Musers. Why? Because you said cerulean! Yes! Cerulean is my fave color. My birthday color. Because cerulean is awesome, yes it is. Cerulean Bunnies = awesome!
I offically invite you to join my crew. Your qualifications look excellent! Have you been following with the thread? I am captain of The Wraith and we are a crew of Mercenaries! w00t!
—
~~SHIP’S LOG~~
Well, most of the crew of the Wraith is with me now. I was expectiing one, but I’ve got three! Ah, well; More the merrier!
I attempted contact with the HMBs a few days ago, but they simply replied in unintelligble sounds. I think that TNO may have a special power to communicate with them, or I am just wierd.
Wow, there’s so much wildlife it’s starting to get hard to keep track of everything! I shall post a list of everything later – and I do mean EVERYTHING (okay, maybe most everything, but still, EVERYTHING).
Well, the list will be my main post, so I guess there’s not much to say now.
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeee?
Here’s an idea: the megaphones themselves are what is keeping the natives away from the herring/swallow trees! My experimentations with leaves and bark were, sadly, unsuccessful. Now I will begin experimentation with megaphones.
HCBs, hm. I found some to, off on the west-north-west corner of the island. They seem to have floppier ears than HPBs and HMBs. I noticed that the tell-tale signs of HMB activity disappeared in the general vicinity of this corner of the island. Perhaps you are right, Donaldo. Perhaps the HCBs are responsible for the dead HMBs.
—
My experiments with the megaphones were also unsuccessfull. It must be something else. I just can’t think of what it might be.
I also have good news; I have located what looks like an abandoned HCB camp! It is farther west than the NWN corner I saw the HCBs in, but it’s in the vague perimeter of HMB avoidance.
Here’s a summery of my findings:
1. The natives avoid the herring/swallow trees, but not the HCB-dominated area of the Isle.
2. The natives have no problems approaching HMBs outside a 45 foot radius of the herring/swallow trees.
3. The HMBs make their camps within a 45 foot radius of the herring/swallow trees.
4. The megaphones are found most commonly in the same territory as the HMBs, and least in the HCB territory.
5. The natives have discovered a way to turn HMBs into mutant native-like creatures. The HMBs are terrified of the natives because of this.
6. Neither herring/swallow tree bark and leaves or megaphones frighten the natives.
7. HMBs are often found dead on the shores of the Isle.
8. There is a mysterious flower (called a Shplurt) that apparently eats birds.
Also, Necromancer suggests that only some people can comunicate with HMBs. Why this is I don’t know.
In conclusion:
1. HCBs are probably the ones who kill the HMBs, as the natives seem to prefer to mutate them. (I’ve seen several mutants since, now that I know what to look for.)
2. If the above is true, then the HMBs are in danger until the natives AND the HCBs are conquered.
3. Due to the mutilated condition of the dead HMBs, we can assume that the HCBs are probably dangerous to some degree.
4. Since the megaphones are found mostly where the HMBs most commonly are, I believe the HMBs are behind whatever it is that is creating them.
5. All birds on the Isle should be careful.
Now, I am off to ask the HCBs a few questions, and see if I can even understand them. Wish me luck!
Ah! I have barely escaped the band of HCBs, mutants, and natives with my life and *cough* brain.
You see, I entered the HCB’s new camp as the light was just beginning to fail. HCBs, as it turned out, can comunicate, just not very well. They don’t have basic english grammar down, and it was a little hard to understand them. I asked to see their leader, and they brought me to an old, pale HCB with withered ears that drooped to the floor. I asked him if he knew about the megaphones, the natives’ recent activities, and the dead HMBs.
He answered: “Megaphons? No I know. But yes natives. Bad bad natives.” He looked angry.
“And the HMB deaths?” I prompted.
“Nasty defecters…” he muttered.
And so it went, for about half an hour. Basically, I learned this:
1. The HMB deaths were caused by a group of rouge HCBs that defected from the so-called Cerulean Order a couple of weeks before the first Musica immagrants showed up.
2. The natives had been making routine raids on the HCB camps, forcing them to abandone their homes multiple times.
3. The megaphones almost certainly come from the HMBs, because the HCBs had never even heard of megaphones before.
However, all this left me wondering; what about the signs I’d seen of HCBs and natives together?
Still confused but sensing that I had gleaned all the information I could, I left the camp. Barely a swallow’s flight away, though, I hear rustling in the leaves around me. Out stepped the rouge HCBs and some natives with there mutants. One of the natives, apparently a leader, made some strange clicking noises. The group suddenly leaped at me, and I ran for my life.
I eventually outran them, but it was still a close shave. During my wild flight, I felt the tickling of the mind that accompanies HPBs when they attempt a hypnotism. The HCBs have the same ability, it seems.
If the rouges have joined forces with the natives, I fear for our safety and mental health. We must destroy any union between the rouge HCBs and natives at once!
—
On a lighter note, we have discovered that, although hard to understand, most HCBs are perfectly benevolent and probably willing to join forces with the HMBs and us to conquer the natives.
TNÖ
While taking a walk this morning, I saw a bright flash of colour in the treetops. It was green, and I followed it into the trees, hoping to discover the secrets of this species. I gained enough to see that it was a HGB (because there aren’t enough colors of bunny yet (!)), and chased it more. I was calling out to it all the time, hoping that it would stop for me. It didn’t. It ran into an underground tunnel, and, not wishing to give up now, I followed. The tunnel was long and dark, but eventually I emerged in the light to see the bunny still ahead of me. Dazzled by the brightness of the sun, I stopped, looked around,and I was able to see that we were on an small island, which was surrounded by sea. Suddenly I noticed something menacing – bunnies of all different colors were surrounding me. What’s more, they were slowly closing in. They held what looked like dangerous weapons in their hands, and had hostile intentions written on their face. I heard a creaking, scraping sound behind me, and turned around in dismay to see a large rock, pushed by hundreds of bunnies, roll over the enterance of the tunnel. I was trapped on the island with thousands of unfriendly bunnies.
Now, as I write this, I am sitting in a small cavern, which has a strange light coming from an unknown source. The enterance is blocked, and bunnies guard the outside. I have tried negotations with the bunnies, and nothing had come of it, except one worrying piece of information – that this is not just a misunderstanding.
((post 34, bobby joe, please don’t do that again with all of the exclamation marks. it really messes up the page when peole veiw it. We all know muse rules, so it was quite unnecessary.))
The bunnies just look at me the whole time. they have drilled holes in the walls of the cage that they peek through. It makes me very nervous and irritable.
A commander of the bunnies came in a while ago. He told me that if i became a spy for them, they would let me out of the cave. I really don’t like espionage, so i refused. Now, i’m alone, hungry, and terribly frightened.
101(Necromancer)-I would love to join your crew! Thank you! Cerulean is also my favorite color. I am new, and haven’t been following the threads, but I’ll look it up.
Yesterday I found a native town. In the middle, natives were all doing a dance around *gasp* a giant cerulean bunny! The horrors! Maybe, since the natives seem to almost worship the cerulean bunnies, that is why they do not like the herring/swallow trees, if the bunnies don’t and thats why they want to get rid of the HMBs!!! *gasps of horror*
CAPTAIN’S LOG-C.S.C.S. HEART OF CACTON
Earthdate: April 4, 2007, time 16:19- Disaster hjas struck! While orbiting a medium-sized rocky planet in the remote Arm of Orion, our oca-ola-ropelled-ocket-hip underwent a massive systems failure and crashed on the planet! This remote and backwards planet is called “earth”. This seems to be a misnomer as most of the planet’s surface seems to be covered in WATER- the enemy of all cacti. The location of our crash is known as “Pie Isle”. It is a wet place (by Cactonian standards) and so far we have found no sign of cactus life. It is rumored that the great Emperor Sunitolp has hidden in the Forest of Nothingsaw (rearrange the letters) on this planet rather than be captured by the Water-Mongrel enemy.
So far morale is low as we discover more and more systems failures.We have yet to find the cause. Power is running low.
Cacton, Sunitolp, and the Cactonians are copyright Peter Weigand 2005. The Captain’s Log of the Heart of Cacton is copyright 2007 Lawrence of Antarctica.
All rights reserved.
Earthdate: April 4, 2007, time 17:19- We have finsihed our casualty count. Total: 12 dead, and 34 wounded. We are still unable to identify the cause of our ship’s crash.
Time 17:23- We have decided to make a fortress, of sorts, out of wood and what spare parts of machinery we can salvage from the wreck. This will be our base of opperations.
Time 17:24- A strange noise has caused us to send five troopers armed with resal snug to investigate.
Time 18:25- Our salvaged scanners all indicate two different forms of life. The first, carbon-based and two-legged, can be safely classified, based on data, as “humans”. The second we are not so sure about. It is also carbon-based, but it sometimes is two-legged, sometimes four-legged. Our ship’s biologist has gone so far as to suggest that they are the small life forms called “bunnies”, but there are far too many of them, far too many different sizes, and far too many unnatural colors for that. We still have not received word from the troopers we sent out.
Time 22:55- Real progress has been made on Fort Cacton, as we now call it. As we turn in for the night, it is noted that 3 of our party are missing, and also, the troopers still have not returned.
We will resume work in the morning, but there is a very fishy buisiness about this island. What are these strange second type of life-form? What happened to our missing men? And what, if anything, do the Water-Mongrels have to do with this?
Captain Sansirel Dansiit, signing off.
Sorry for asking, but what are HMBs and HCBs??? New here.
Any posts on this thread under “Captain Sansirel Dansiit” are me, by the way.
The Forest of Washington, Lawrence? I’ve never been to that part of the island. Where is it? I can do some investigating on your ship. My guess is that it was not a coincidence that you landed on Pie Isle with all the HCBs and natives. Let me check your parts for evidence of Cerulean Order interference.
iwanttobeamuffin-We will send in reinforcements to try and save you!! I believe that, with your discovery and with the stuff that I have discovered(natives are bunny worshippers) and TNO has discovered(natives turning HMBs into mutants) that the rogue HCBs are not the only problematic bunnies on Pie Isle. As far as we know, we could have rogue bunnies in every color of the rainbow! My only hope is that they don’t get Aerial HPBs on their side. All we can do now is figure out why the natives don’t like the herring/swallow trees and make a safe haven there. We can build up troops with the kind bunnies and then battle the natives, rogue bunnies, and mutants. I think those three are working together to rule Pie Isle and then maybe over to Museica! Oh the horror!
It’s actually not really part of the island. It is another island 200 yards of the south coast of pie isle. Whoops, there goes a plotline. Whatever, anything for actual otherplayer interaction.
And, it’s not called the Forest of Nothingsaw. The creator of Cacton, Peter Weigand, lives in DC, therefore the Washington reference. But I am in a forest, I just haven’t named it yet.
Is this where all the ship’s logs are? Nothing’s been posted on Ship’s Logs for days?
That was not meant to be a question mark. It was supposed to be a period.
Earthdate: April 5, 2007, time 4:54- Today I woke up 4 drachas (1 dracha= 5 minutes) before the reveille, so I decided to post a short entry in the Captain’s Log.
Progress on Fort Cacton has gone very well. The engineers say that it will be ready by midday tomorrow, even though this planet only has one midday, as opposed to Cacton, which spins on two axes simultaneously, so it is nearly always midday. This environment is good for sun-loving cacti.
I am looking at the fort now, and I see that the outer wall is finished, and the inner wall is almost done. The traps are proceeding very nicely too. Once they are finished, you will only be safe if you follow the two azerblujani lines. Azerblujani is a color only visible to cacti. The resal turrets are proceeding nicely too.
Time 8:23- we have received word from the troopers! At 8:20 we received a hasty message: “Are set upon by bnmnys, have no…†And the message ends there. We still have no idea what a “bnmny†is, but Transii Sanitulpe, the ship’s biologist, suspects it means “bunnyâ€. Him and his bunnies.
Time 9:21- We have discovered the root of the problem! The virus was caused by a Water-Mongrel virus which downed most of our systems. It is a strong, unkown virus though, it will be tough to purge.
91: Sounds awesome! These natives are getting pretty dangerous, judging from TNÖ’s latest reports. Maroon-sucking and sacrifices and poison darts, oh my!
What say we head towards the sacrifice site TNÖ discovered?
(Also, TNÖ, in case you missed it, we have determined that the natives are hedgehogs. Necromancer put it in one of her reports. Are the natives you met hedgehogs, or might we have multiple tribes of natives on our hands?)
Lawrence. I am truly sorry to have to be the one to have to tell you this but… I am sorry, really I am, but your troopers were murdered by rouge HCBs(Hot Cerulean Bunnies. HMBs are hot maroon bunnies) and some natives.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Most HCBs are benevolent, but some have turned rouge and are recruiting from the HRBs, HOBs, HYBs, HGBs, HBBs, and HPuBs (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple- no pink, thank goodness!), and now are being worshipped by natives!
Now, I strongly suggest you use a high-powered transportation pinecone to teleport your crew and Fort Cacton to an area within a 45 foot radius of the herring/swallow trees. They are the safest place on the Isle!
Please, join us in our quest to conquer the natives and rouges! Your traps will probably be vital to our cause, too.
Thank you.

Meanwhile, we have discovered (via iwannabeamuffin’s reports) that a tribe of hostile rainbow H_Bs (generic term for colored bunnies) are living on an island not far from the isle. *sighs* Looks like we’ll have to add them to our list of thing’s to be conquered in order to rescue iwannabeamuffin (now Kontrolled Bie Hottpinnkbunnyz, I believe).
—
News on the megaphones! It appears that the HMBs, when they come into contact with the h/s trees, secrete a metalic oily liquid which eventually solidifies into a harmless to mildly irritating to dangerous megaphone. Why the megaphones can have negative side affects, we simply don’t know.
—
Now, friends, I am off to pick up Zé and Xavier and spy on the hostile troop of rainbow H_Bs.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
Kontrolled Bie Hottpinnkbunnyz, are you new on the blog? Welcome to Pie Isle! Sorry, I’m not really sure what you’re talking about. Where are you? Are you with Muffin? Please explain yourself.
119- I think she might BE muffin.
Really? Native hedgehogs… Hm. The natives I saw were more of a bird sort of thing. Like people size hedgehogs with clawed feet and beaks.
I-AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! [Crash! Bang! Whap!] AWAY FOUL CREATURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look, I’m gonna have to go! The bu- [WHAM!]
—
I'm chained to a wall in the same cell as Muffin, but unable to speak due to a large amount of ductape over my mouth. The bunnies ambushed me, you see. I didn't see them until it was to late! Zé and Xavier got away though, so be sure to keep an eye out for them.
Uh oh. Here comes an HRB, and he doesn't look happy...
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
ATTENTION! I have become ruler of the HPBs!!!!!! I set you two free. *tells bunnies to set free the prisoners* *they do* I hope as ruler of the bunnies, you will want to become an ally. Anybody came become an ally. Breath the free are again, my friend (s)! I just had to say that. Fun qoute. YAY! The bunnies are really nice. But I am now the ruler of them, so no complaining about bunny attacks!!!! Unless of course you are not an ally. The bunnies shall be the peace-keepers, protecting all under the musited muations (MM).
The Bunny Ruler
108-116: Wow, Lawrence. Information overload! Now I’m really losing track of what’s going on around here. ALL NEWCOMERS TO PIE ISLE: Immigrants are welcome to the island; the more the merrier. BUT please, before posting without knowing what’s going on, read the thread! More information on the history of the conquest of Pie Isle is also on the Ships’ Logs 6 and The Chronicles of Museica 4 threads. (Just search for these in the search box at the top of the screen.) The plot is getting very complicated, which is part of the joy of all this. So BEFORE you start posting, make sure you know what’s going on. I really don’t want to be mean about this, but we’d like people to contribute to the action at hand, not just create it. Necromancer, you and I pretty much started this thread, would agree with what I’m saying here?
So, Lawrence: I’m a little confused about what you’re doing here. It sounds like you’re trying to start a new story. That’s fine, and even encouraged (you can give your new island a name and everything), but will you please ask one the GAPAs to make a thread for it? If you’re joining in the Pie Isle story, that’s also fine; we don’t turn anyone away. Could you explain the terminology you’ve been using in your ship’s logs? They’re a little confusing.
Alice, to answer your question, this isn’t the Ships’ Logs threads. We’re on Pie Isle! Here, you can be an immigrant or join Necromancer’s crew. Yonder at Ships’ Logs, you can join any of the crews currently exploring the open seas.
Hey, guys, I haven’t left, but I don’t have much time, so I’ll be back, ok?
121-We will not stoop down to your level of indecency, slaughtering innocent bunnies and all that! But we would like to question you about what you know about the natives. Do you know anything about them? Like, why they mutate HMBs?
Lawrence. I have done a scan with an aerial pinecone searcher and realized that you are on the island with all the H_Bs! You must get off before they find you and capture you, along with iwanttobeamuffing(now Kontrolled Bie HotPinkBunnyz) and TNO.
Dot Keet-please read all the other posts on this thread. It will all make sense to you once you read them. iwanttobeamuffing is now Kontrolled Bie HotPink Bunnyz, just to let you know. She followed a hot green rabbit through a tunnel and found a lot of H_Bs! They captured her and she is now in grave danger.
Captain Necromancer:
iwanttobeamuffin(now Kontrolled Bie HotPinkBunnyz) will not be able to post for a while because she says on her computer, when she goes to a thread, there is no leave-a-comment box! That’s all.
Ok, let me try to sort things out here.
Yes, I am attempting to contribute to the story, not create my own new one. I will discover and move to the main Pie Isle very shortly.
Now, to explain the terminology.
Azerblujani- a color only visible to cacti.
Beryl- A place where everything is backwards, so the only way to get there is to travel AWAY from it.
Cacton- A most glorious desert planet populated by cacti. It spins on two axes at once, so most of the planet is at midday all the time.
Cactonian Confederacy- A league of independent planets in the distant Desert Arm of the Galaxy, including Erwinia, Beryl, and, most important of all, Cacton.
Emperor Sunitolp- The alter-ego of my science teacher, the creator of Cacton and the Cactonian Chronicles. He is the Ruler of the Cactonian Confederacy and in his Seventh Sieve of rule. He has been forced to flee to the planet Earth by the Water-Mongrel menace.
Erwinia- A 4-dimensional place of toil and drudgery. Once you enter a room, having gone forward in time, you can never get out.
Sieve- A 1,000-year terms of office for an Emperor. You can be elected to nine sieves.
Water-Mongrels- The demons of all things wet, barbaric and brutal killers, mortal enemies of Cactonians.
And as for everything else- a lot of it’s just words backwards! Like resal snug, for instance- laser guns. If you find a word you don’t know, try spelling it backwards. If that doesn’t work, look it up here. If you still don’t know, contact me.
Earthdate: April 5, 2007, time 10:46- We have recieved a transmission from someone called “T. N. O.” It seems that the troopers we sent out have been murdered by a group called the rouge Hot Cerulean Bunnies! This is shocking news and it proves our biologist correct- These life-forms were, in fact, bunnies! The message is dated Earthdate April 4… It seems our reciever is not functioning properly…. Or maybe it is being jammed by Water-Mongrels, or, more likely, these “rouge HCBs”!
Time 11:07- We have discovered a new, larger part of the island to the north, which seems to be where the transmission came from and where most of the life-forms are. I have sent scouts to check the place for enemies and bunnies.
Time 11: 35- We have recieved the all-clear from the scouts. I, along with 76 others, am going to found another base there. As Fort Cacton is complete, they should have no trouble holding it.
Time 12:45- We have set up tents, walls, and some machinery, so it is time to report back to base.
Time 12:47- Fort Cacton is not responding. This is strange.
Time 13:01- Disaster! Fort Cacton had been destroyed by rouge HCBs not five minutes after we left! What was left of our ship was completely destroyed! This is devastating news and our only hope is to ally with some of the humans on the isle. Perhaps they will prove more resourceful against our new foes.
16:28- Treachery, treachery, TREACHERY!A bunny came out of the forest, waving a green flag of truce! (On Cacton, green flag is there what white flag is here.) The funny thing is, it was not of an Earthly color. It was an HAB (Hot Azerblujani Bunny) ! This bunny was clearly not form Earth, where nothing was azerblujani. It had to be from the Desert Arm of the galaxy! It walked up to me, and it said:
“The rouge HCBs have destroyed your previous encampment. The HABs would like to assist you in defeating the foe.”
I readily agreed, and the bunny led me and some of my crew into a clearing, where he said that some secret was held. Suddenly, rouge HCBs jumped out at us and surrounded us!! The “HAB” had simply been wearing a coat of azerblujani paint, porbably plundered from Fort Cacton! When I said as much aloud, the bunny laughed and said,
“Correct, Captain Dansiit. We, as you correctly guessed, are part of the Rouge Movement of Cerulean Bunnies, Hot or Otherwise. (ROMOCHO for short.) Since azerblujani paint is invisible to humans, our warriors painted this color will be able to capture all of them and rule the island!! *demonic laughter*!”
This bunny was clearly insane, as humans, as well as cacti, who read the magazine Muse can never be fooled by soemmthing so simple as invisble paint. Then we were knocked out, and we woke up in a dark cave, where we have been held ever since. I am transmitting this part of the log to all humans on the isle, to warn them of the danger of the invisible rouge HCBs. Be wary!
I am not Kontrolled Bie HotPinkBunnyz! And also, thanks for passing the message on, but it turns out that it was just an early side affect of the April fools day take over. The bunnies hadn’t appeared, but I still couldn’t post.
121- Where did YOU come from?
Are we ignoring 121? Last I saw, I was still here, captured by the bunnies. Who else is with me? I think that 121 is somewhere else. I haven’t noticed any release orders around here.
ACK!!! PIES FLYING EVRYWHER *gets pied* HELP MEEEEEE *gets pied* HEY U!!!
what??
HELP MEEEEE
*pies* *explodes into itsy bitsy pieces*
EWWW *clicks submit bfore he gets *splat* pied
121- Im too le tired to become a muffin i mean ally. Im going to take a nap. *takes nap* okay, ill become a muffin i mean ally
The HRB made the same demand that he did with Muffin. I, on the other hand, relish espionage, and excepted. Of course, I will be feeding him a wealth of false information while giving our side details that might otherwise have gone unoticed.
Now I am Free! However, now that there is a new leader for the H_Bs, I quit my post of espionage and get around to the buisness of conquering the Isle.
Captain Sansirel Dansiit. This time I have good news! After having read your log I immediately set about with Zé and Xavier to find your holding cell. It seems to be on the east side of the H_B island. With this information we will be able to resque you in due course. Hang in their!

Captain Necromancer, I await your commands.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
*there, I mean…
Alright, Necromancer, no contract necessary, I’ve decided, just an agreement to ask permission from the other co-captain before embarking on any missions requiring more than one ship, yes? Also, we’ll need to work out the crew-member problem…
123: I’ll miss you! The coalition will continue with its missions, because, alas, duty waits for no one. Join back as soon as you can!
126: Okay, thanks for that. I commend you for putting the terms in alphabetical order, nice touch . Has your teacher written a book? I tried Google and Wikipedia, but unfortunately Peter Weigand is a very common name and none of the terms had any relevant matches. One last question: what type of being are you, your crew, and the Cactonians? I get that you’re cacti, I think, but then how can you, as plants, have such advanced military strategy?
129: Good to know. In that case, KBH, what is your current position?
130: Yeah, we are ignoring it, along with subsequent responses 131 and 132. I don’t think he was following the story. I mean, no offense, HAWK, but there aren’t any HPBs here. As an explanation, let’s say that the HAWK’s post was a result of using a megaphone that haphazardly scrambles transmissions.
HAWK and Bucko, since you are newest to Pie Isle and seem to be needing a place, I invite you to join Shadowkat’s and my coalition. I am headed to the sacrifice site where TNÖ witnessed the new bird-like tribe of natives abusing a HMB. Shadowkat will rejoin me after her absence.
To those involved in the H_B Hostage Crisis: I wish you good fortune during this time of hostility. I will be staying here on Pie Isle with the remaining members of Necromancer’s crew, taking care of urgent matters on the mainland.
Hello? I know we have a problem with the hostages and the Cactonians, but seriously, what about the natives and the herring/swallow trees? I am going to be researching to see if there are any peaceful H_Bs besides the HCBs and HMBs! Right now I am on Pie Isle, near the Eastern Shores. Wiat! What is that out there? I see something in the ocean. It looks like a reef! But, what’s that? There is a face carved into it! And there is a giant tunnel it looks like! I will have to *pie thrown at my face*
What? What was that? *H_Bs attack* What in the world? What is going on? AAAAAAH! They are hitting me with pies! And that reef! It’s a giant mechanical Cerulean Bunny! LET GO OF THAT! *H_B is trying to steal my laptop-pies me* No!
NO! We have suffered another loss. (I assume that Donaldo was captured). Anyway, Dot Keet. I’m going to stay here for awhile. I’ve had about enough of the H_Bs for the moment. And anyway, you might need a translator. Good luck, those of you still involved in the H_B crisis! May the rescue attempts be successful that you may live long and throw many pies.
—
Dot Keet, while you’re examining the sacrifice site, I will head over to the native town mentioned in post 107 and see what I can find. Perhaps I can get my hands on a native or mutant or something and attempt communications and maybe run some tests…
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
137- *tries to help* *grabs nunchucks* HAYAH HAYAH KIYAH AYAH DIE DIE *:idea: pulls 20 dolla outta pocket* HEY LET GO *grabs at 20 dolla* *:idea: takes nunchucks* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO now were all gonna die!!!!
I’m in the native’s town. It’s the bird natives. The place seems deserted…
[FWAP] NO!!!!! NOT AGAIN! [SMACK! SCREE! BANG!] BACK, FIENDS, BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![SLAM]

Geez. I have the WORST luck in the world. Wouldn't you know it? I've been captured by the bird natives. Now I'm on the inside of the giant HCB, which is apparently a robot that doubles as--*gulp*--the sacrificial cerimony chamber. Turns out the HMB mutations are usally done in here. Which makes me wonder what they're going to do to me...
However, I am a scientist, and this robotic HCB IS a robot. I will do my best to use that fact to the fullest advantage.
HEY! [fzzfzz] GET AWA[fzzzzfzzzzzfzzzzzz]CRETINS!

*Pant,pant* I guess I'll have to be more careful with this thing. THEY heard me, I suppose.
Anyway, this is a very poorly designed robot. It sparks and crackles when they turn it on, so I figure it'll be fairly simple to hack into the system and get out of here.
So far, I have discovered that:
1. The natives control the robot with a remote, which communicates with a panel about 3 feet above my head.
2. The robot is on its last wheels, so to speak. It's a wonder I haven't been electrocuted or something.
and
3. As far as I can see, the robot is faster than the natives can go, which will be vital to my escape.
I here them coming. Gotta go.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
O.k. Here’s how I see the situation at the moment. Please tell me if I am wrong though. (I just have to write it down so that I can make sense of things)
Who’s here:
The crew of the Wraith
Captain Necromancer
Iwanttobeamuffin (Sometimes referred to as muffin)
T.N.Ö. Lilbro (I left out all the subtitles. She is often called T.N.Ö.)
Evie
Donaldo the supercoolio awesome nerd
johnkerry
People who are on the island but are not with the Wraith
Dot Keet
hedgehogboy5
Shadowkat used to be here, but isn’t any more. I think
Unknown
Red tailed Hawk
Beavo the Great
Prisoners
T.N.O
iwanttobeamuffin
kontrolled bie hotpinkbunnyz
Captain Sansirel Dansiit, aka Lawrence of Antarctica
Donaldo the supercoolio awesome nerd
iwanttobeamuffin is in a dungeon type thing on the island that she has called “HRB Island” That stands for Hot Rainbow bunny island. She currently has no prospect of release.
T.N.O was with Muffin, but accepted an offer to be a spy. She was planning to give false info to the bunnies. However, they saw through her and got the bird natives to re-capture her. She is now being held inside of a giant robot bunny. This is probably on HRB island. She is trying to take over the bunny and escape.
Donaldo is with her, I think. He says that he is. But maybe there are two robotic bunnies. If he is with her, he has high prospects of escape. If he isn’t, then he needs some help.
Kontrolled bie hotpinkbunnyz is in a cage on … well, we don’t know. We don’t know how (s)he got there. Can (s)he supply me with more info please?
Captain Sansirel Dansiit, aka Lawrence of Antarctica, is on an island that is not Pie island. He may be on HRB island. Things are sure building up!
The others are still free for the moment. I believe that they are planning to build up a camp around the herring/swallow trees, and then come and rescue us.
I think that that is all.
As I have not accepted the bunnies offer to become a spy for them, I am still here. It is very lonely here now that T.N.O has left. This morning, two bunnies came in. There was a great fuss and bother among the guards, which lead me to believe that these are the joint rulers of the bunnies. They are from the rare species of DBB – or dark black bunny. They repeated their offer of spyhood, but when I once again refused, they cast down a handful of what looked like multicolored pebbles onto the floor beside me. Then they left. I can just about see the stones, but I can’t reach them. It is difficult to reach anything when you are tied to a wall. I can move about a little, but the stones are beyond my grasp.
I am writing a book about the exploration and adventures of Pie Isle. Is there any Information that you would especially like me to include?
136- Evolution on Cacton stopped with the cactus. To put a long story short, cacti on Cacton developed a seivelization (based on sand) and colonized two perfectly habitable but for some reason life less planets (Beryl and Erwinia). The Desert Arm of the galaxy having been in existence much longer then the Orion Arm, we are naturally more advanced, we have been around longer. (But it helps that we don’t need to eat as much or sleep as much as humans.) (Plus it helps our military strategy that there is a color only visible to cacti.)
Earthdate: April 6, 2007, time 3:43- The place in which we are imprisoned is very strange. It seems to have been burned out of the rock by some kind of acid. The bunnies came in at 23:07 last night, saying to surrender our force they were already under attack. I have confidence in our military capabilities-for now. We only have 75 men. We have, as of yet, recieved no transmission from our crew but have recieved one assuring help form the mysterious T.N.O. we can only hope T.N.O. or someone else gets here quickly. There are also a ludicrous amount of transmission on frequency 6873-2564 about people being captured. No mention of “invisible” bunnies capturing anyone yet, though. Beware o invisible bunnies! (See last log post)
Time 7:53- Ouch. We have been tortured almost out of our minds. We have been chained to the wall upside-down. Then the bunnies prepared a pie flinger. When they began launching the pies I realized these were no ordinary pies. They were ICE-CRERAM PIES!! The deadly substance only Earthlings know how to make and use! It was once said by the Governor of Beryl, Nocab, I reflected as the pies slammed into me, freezing parts of my body and causing intense pain, that the real reason that things are not the way they were meant to be is because ice-cream has no bones.
Ice-cream is made of calcium, so should be very good for you and full of bones. But Sunitolp and a host of scientists had never managed to find a single bone in it to help Earthlings grow taller, since the were all so very short. He, then, could find no reason for why they consumed it in such gigantic quantities.
For whatever reason, it still hurt.
I reflected on this as my body was being tortured almost past the limit. After about 2 drachas (again, 1 dracha=5minutes) they either decided to stop and let us simmer in pain, or they ran out of pies. Either way, we are in a desperate situation.
And I’m still upside-down.
We=me and two of my more senior officers
141- Minor inaccuracy. I WAS on an island that’snot Pie Isle, I colonized Pie Isle, then old base of opperations was blown up. Have new base now, don’t know what it’s called. I assume Commander Tragashi van Sekoyah will have taken over for me now. My camp’s on southern beach of island, anyone want to go there, tell THEM to free me, that’s ok. Anyone wanna come and free me by themselves, that’s ok, too. Plus the other prisoners, which is about half this thread. Being kidnapped seems to be in style.
9:45- Sounds of a fierce battle raging outside. Hope its someone finally come to rescue. Might even be my crew.
9:47- Uh, guys? Hurry up! There’s a GIANT ACID-SPITTING SNAKE IN HERE!!!!!! AAAAAAAGH!
Is this where everyone’s been? Museica has been extremely quiet.
10:46- The rescue is complete! After a fierce fight in which 10 cacti were lost, some of my troopers bravely rescued me after slaughter of some rouge HCBs. The snake was about to strike when a cleverly placed Cinos bomb detonated part of the cave roof, and it collapsed on the snake’s head. We were unchained and taken back to base. Our new base is called New Notcac, named for the glorious capital of Cacton, Notcac. It is based on Fort Cacton and is actually finished! Thereby, i am sending this message to all others on the isle:
This is Captain sansirel dansiit. The rouge HCBs have gotten an unknown amout of azerblujani paint from the wreckage of our previous base, Fort Cacton. Azerblujani is a color only visible to cacti so when the rouge HCBs put it on they will be invisible to human eyes. If anyone wishes to have help on any maneuver they care to undertake, or anyone wants traps, call lose-ircuit number 665-777-666-3489-08!
And remember, the real reason why things are not the way they are supposed to be is because ice-cream has no bones.
-Captain Sansirel Dansiit
136-I’m baaaaack!!! Necromancer and I have formed an alliance…if you’d like to be part of it, just let me know. What’s our current mission?
Question, because I must’ve missed something: What’s an “H_B”?
141-I guess Im in the crew of the wraith. I tried to help TNO didnt I?? Oh My Gawd their trying to eat my virtual choklit I stole from somebody or another!!! And now their morphing into man eating Venus Fly Traps!!! Argh!!! HEY YOU LET GO OF THAT!!! LET GO I SAY!! *grunts and scuffles* OW MY ARM!!! OW MY OTHER ARM!! *pant pant* gotta go *pant pant* their trying to find my Girl Scout Cookies I have hidden from my mom…
150-An H_B is the general term for Hot Bunnys seeingas we have now found many many different-colored bunnies. Many of the bunnies are peaceful, but more of them are attacking the colonists and teaming up with the natives to destroy us.
I have been captured by HCBs and am now with TNO, I think. She must be in a different room than me, because there is no sign of her. The HCBs and HGBs(Hot Green Bunnys) are watching me night and day. They have given me food, but I have refused it, seeing as it looks disgusting and there is probably some drug in it. I need help! Every once in a while, the guards bring in an HMB and transform it into the mutants! *gasps of horror* then the mutant is taken back out of the room. But I have noticed something. In the far end of the room, there is a control panel. If someone could reach it, they might be able to shut off the laser beams that are my cage.
GOOD LUCK With ALL THE RESCUES!
152-Ah…thank you. Check out my bunny descriptions on the Creatures of Museica thread.
138: Yay! I’ll meet up with you… oh, guess not. You’ve been captured. Would you like to join the coalition? It currently has two members: Sahdowkat and I. (As you can see, I’m trying to recruit.)
141: TNÖ is not on the HRB island, she is in the natives’ town (see post 107). I think it’s more likely that Donaldo is in a separate robot, since he said he was on the coast.
143: Make sure you include its discovery! I think it was Prailius Canix who stumbled upon it in Chronicles of Museica 3.
I have reached the sacrifice site and hope that the information I glean will help save TNÖ and Donaldo. Shadowkat, are you here with me? Reports to come.
148: Yep, because we’re cool like that. Want to immigrate?
150: Alliance, eh? Well, sadly, I have no ship. And the mercenary life is not for me, at least not at the moment. Pie Isle is my home. As first immigrant, I see myself staying here indefinitely.
151: Unless you formally request to join the crew, the Captain will not be pleased. And you tried to help Donaldo, not TNÖ. At least that’s what I assumed since you were responding to post 137.
152: Whoops I was wrong about the separate robot.
I am nowhere I know. I need an explanation, but these white and blue choklity swirls are not explaining anything. Shoot. Anyone know where there are white and blute choklity swirls? Then maybe I can get outta here. Its kinda boring. All they have is a little packet of whoppers.
155-You don’t need a ship! You can be my first mate, if you want…I have no crew, as yet.
Beavo-where are you going with Pie Isle? No offense, but seriously-you are taking it a little far. The natives and bunnies can’t do everything!
156-I have absolutly NO IDEA where I am going. Thats why this thread is catagorized under random crazyness. Duh!
Beavo, sorry, but you can’t just go crazy and take the focus off of Pie Isle and into your little chocolate world. If you want to, ask the GAPAs for another thread on it.
*grunt* Just… A little… FARTHER!!!!!!!!!!!
.

.

Got it. Now all I have to do is hold on to the conviniently placed rope with ONE hand, type the unknown code to release Donaldo from his laser cage with the other, and then somehow get back down without breaking anything and THEN saw through the Incredibly Strong Elastic Chains that are tied around my feet. :roll:.
Hm. It appears that these natives have a system of writing not unlike ours. Here, it looks like this:
[laßerß](1)(2)(3)
[hol∂ing-cellß](1)(2) [∑i†h-laßerß](1)
[ou†er-µo√eµen†](E1)(E2)(RL)(RR)(Rƒ)(RB)
I believe that pushing the (1) button labled [∑i†h-laßerß] will unlock Donaldo’s cell. *pushes button*
Hope that works.
Ok. I have figured out (I think…) how this thing moves. Both ears can wiggle. The head is really one ball (the control room) inside a slightly bigger ball (the cerulean outer shell). The bigger ball rolls. RL=left, RR=right, RÆ’=forward, RB=back. I hope.
*deep breath*
*presses (RÆ’)*
.
.
.
.
.
*Bunny rolls forward (hooray! What a terrible security system!)*
Natives: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Me: AK! Cannot see!
*frantically saws at bindings*
.
.
.
.
*Bunny rolls faster… which probably means we’re going DOWNhill, which means towards the WATER*
!!!
*saws more frantically* RRRRRGH!
*Bunny goes even faster, and jerks… We apparently just hit some trees*
!!!!!!!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! *finishes cutting ISECs*
YES! *takes control of bunny* Can’t… see!
…
*Bunny flies off cliff that overlooks a calm and peaceful bay…*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*SPLASH!*
…
ooh….. OW. Donaldo are you alive in there?
*climbs out of bunny* AK! WE LANDED ON SOMEBODY’S SUPPLY OF PAINT! … Azerblujani paint. So now we have a wet, outdated, half-blue-half-azerblujani robotic BUNNY. Whaddo we do now?
Also, we seem to be surrounded by impassible cliffs and shark infested waters. *screams hysterically* HELP!
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
135- RESCUING us might sort out the problem. It is not pleasant being held prisoner.
O.k. I need an update here. Where is everyone? Please respond. And by everyone I mean anyone who has posted on this thread three or more times. Thanks. Also, who has escaped and who is still prisoner? Actually, can the people on this list write a profile of their current location, situation, which bunny group is holding them, who is leading that group, plans, ect.

n.b- I have left out some names, because they don’t seem to be doing anything to do with the business at the moment.
Here’s mine-
I am currently being held prisoner in a medieval dungeon type thing. It is on HRB Isle. No one seems to be rescuing me, and I have no means of escape. I have tried to break or bite through the cords holding me to the wall, but to no avail. They appear to be made of a rubbery, extremely strong material. So, I am trying to pick away at the mortar of the wall to escape. As my hands are tied, this is going very slowly indeed. Expect to see me out in a couple of centuaries. The bunnies holding me prisoner are the colony on HRB Isle, and appear to be led by two DBB. There is a small pile of multicolored pebbley things, and they are twitching worryingly….
I declare myself AWSOME DUDE! i. e. Always Watching Sneaky Often Making Evil Designs Undermining Dark Evil. I also rescue people in need of rescue. Any requests for rescue? I’m ready and standing by.
Well, I’ve mentioned all this before, but if you want a summary, so be it:
Current location: The sacrifice site that TNÖ described as follows when she had just joined Necromancer and Evie: “I recently went to investigate a noise in the clump of orchids nearby. When I reached the source, I found myself at the top of a small cliff, perhaps twelve feet hight. Below me, some sort of ceremonial sacrifice was being carried out.”
Who I’m with: Shadowkat
Situation: I have climbed down the cliff. The coalition has journeyed here looking for clues about the natives and their practices so that we can rescue the hostages here on Pie Isle (Donaldo and TNÖ).
164: HAWK, have you read the thread? I think it would be an asset to have Agent Awesome Dude in the coalition, given your rescuing skills. Come to our present location if you accept. And I’m not telling you where we are or our goal, so you have to read at least one post back.
164- That would be nice. Get more info about the island from Dot Keet, or someone else, before you try to rescue me though. I think that Necromancer tried a while back. We haven’t seen her since….
Necromancer, if you are just lurking, please post. We are getting worried! Have you been captured, or is your internet just down?
I’m afraid I haven’t been following the thread that closely. Will return soon.
Awesome Dude 8)
Current Location: I am on the cliff that Dot Keet talked about.
Who I’m with: Dot Keet
Situation:I am making sure that no one creeps up on Dot Keet while she’s investigating the sacrificial spot. I have my Whipping Creamer with me, and I’m watching my own back as best I can, but Dot Keet had better hurry…those orchids would make good cover for anything that might want to take me captive…
Awesome Dude standing by for rescue mission.
Awesome Dude out. 8)
Current Location:Secluded little cove in some deserted corner of the Isle, within 2 minute rolling distance of the native town discovered by Donaldo.
Who I’m with:Donaldo, who is still, I think, in the bunny.
Situation: Plotting way out of cove, which is surrounded by sharkbox jellyfish infested waters on one side and steep inclines on the other. The only way out is by bunny, but I want to install some sort of…
Wait a minute. *looks closely at control panel on the inside of the bunny.* I am SUCH an idiot. There’s a little screen with an (ØN) button next to it. *presses (ØN)* Yep. It’s a visual display. The ears have cameras on them. *SMACK*
We’re OUTA here!
*drives bunny up steep hills and arrives at sacrifice cite.*
Hi, Dot Keet, Shadowkat. *hem* Anything I can do to help?
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
Well, you could watch my back…or you could help Dot Keet explore the sacrifice site…take your pick.
Oh, and Hi!
I shall leave the bunny with you, Shadowkat, and go assist Dot Keet.
Dot Keet, I am at you service.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
By the way, TNÖ, who’s Xavier?
Well, so far I see a worn-down, ragged circle, presumably where the bird-natives have stood many a time. Additionally, I’ve collected quite a few shedded hedgehog needles. I’m guessing the bird-natives are in close cahoots with the hedgehog-natives, as some of the needles resemble the poison darts the bird-natives had. The hedgehogs have been sharing their resources. *twitch* That’s gross.
Xavier’s my parakeet. See post 84.
Hedgehogs sharing with the natives? Aw… hoo boy. Now we have another addition to our “Needs to be Conquered” list. *sigh*…
Hey! Lookit this! It seems to be some sort of… I dunno. It looks like an average laptop, only it’s the size of my fist. And covered in slime. Huh.
I’ll have to think about it later when I’m not half asleep.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
Thank you TNO! You have rescued me! I am in the bunny’s head, keeping in the shadows as there are HRBs all around. Wait! What’s that? They’re leaving! Why? Oh well. Easier for me to escape! TNO. I will come down to meet you and cut off the elastic bands. Uno momento.*grabs rope and saw* I’m coming! Wait! Where are you?
170- Now you can rescue me please. Thanks!
Ok, another request : Can the following people please put detail in their reports, as they are telling the story in my book. And I am mostly just copying posts. Thanks again!
~Dot Keet
~Necromancer (If she ever returns)
~TNO
~Me (because I can easily add more detail to my reports later)
176-I would see if the goo found on the laptop-thingie matches the goo we found by the river…you know, the transforming goo?
*gasp!* The HRB’s! They’re…mph, mmphh, uuuhhh…
(Time passes…)
Oh…my head…I seem to have woken up in a cave of sorts…I can’t see much. The only light is that coming from a small hole in the roof…I think the HRB’s knocked me out…all I remember is feeling a sharp poke in my back, and then blacking out…*feels back*…yup, there’s the spot. Oo, it’s all red and swollen…and it itches. But I can’t *ow!* scratch it! Argh…wait, what? I think I hear Dot Keet and T.N.O….”Hey, guys! Are you up there? I think I’m underneath the sacrifice site!”
Donaldo, I’m with Dot Keet.
Shadowkat? Is that you? Oh boy. ANOTHER rescue attempt.
We shall start by searching for the hole in the roof of your cave. *searches for hole* AHA! Here it is. *looks through hole*
…Hi Shadowkat.
To bad you weren’t conscious enough to tell us how the bunnies got you in there…
*goes and searches for tunnel entrance.*
*sigh* No luck. The entrance was sealed by the HRBs with a massive ball of ISECs. However… We DO have a rope cutter… *borrow’s Donaldo’s rope cutter*
.
.
.

*pant, pant* Halfway through…. OMG I hate this stuff… *saws some more*

AT LAST!!!!!!!!!! I’m coming, Shadowkat! *HRBs and HPuBs flood out of tunnel* Oh no! It was- [FWAP] -trap! [POP! BAP!] …the bunnies-[BANG] BACK FOUL CRETINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *swipes at bunnies with long plank* DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!! *more bunnies appear* ARGH! This is getting a little old… [BOP! SLAP! WHOMP! *oof* POW!] *phew* They’re all gone… Now, Shadowkat, I really am coming…
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
178: Uh, Muffin, I’m sorta running out of things to say. Could you ask me specific questions, or tell me any gaps in the storyline I need to fill in?
I hear a strange pounding underneath my feet. OMG a flood of bunnies! *helps TNÖ clear them out* Lemme see if I can squeeze through this tunnel… oof, grunt. Come on, Donaldo! *grabs feet, pulls him in* Shadowkat! *frantically unties her hands*
Okay, guys. I mean gals. I mean gals plus Donaldo. The HRBs have brought Shadowkat down here, but I think it’s pretty safe to assume that this was pretty much the extent of their plan. This was just an ambush intended to hinder us, since this underground cave appears to have only one entrance, and the bunnies are gone now. So, I propose we make this site our headquarters. It’s pretty well-hidden and secluded. And now, with that taken care of, I have a much more important announcement. *ahem*
I’m sure you’ve all realized this was the next step in our colonization process. The evil forces at work here are far too great.
~Declaration of War~
I hereby acknowledge the immigrants to Pie Isle, and the mercenaries who are assisting them, to be engaged in armed conflict with the hedgehog-natives and the evil being controlling them, the bird-natives, and all H_B, excluding the HCBs who are still loyal to justice and the innocent HMBs.
Of course, if we make the underground cave our HQ, we will need to outfit it with pie-throwing devices, moniters, computers, radar, and, most importantly, an escape tunnel to one of the herring/swallow trees in case we are overwhelmed.
We should have declared war against the hostile H_Bs and both native species long ago. Now, though, we can finally get around to the actual buisness of CONQUERING the Isle. Instead of the whole capture-rescue-capture-rescue deal we’ve been living with so far. ONWARD!
Oh, I’ve just had a brainstorm. Remember the bird-eating Shplurts??? And we do have bird-natives on the island… I do so love experimenting like this.
.
.
.
.
Yes!!!!! The Shplurts grow up to my size, and can then be transported by bunny-robots (I found a whole cave of them, with remotes too!). They also seem to be fond of the bird-natives, since I dissected one and found half-digested olive feathers, beaks, and that sort of thing.
Now all we need is a hedgehog eating plant… *goes off to explore the island and look for more carnivorous plants*
.
.
.
.
.
YIPE!!!!!! *falls into pit* Not again. Who’s behind this now???
*whistles for Zé* PULL ME OUT!
Ok. *Jumps on Zé*
.

Hey there’s an interesting one! Looks a bit like an origami… *gulp* bunny. And it’s moving. {to OOB (origami olive bunny} Are you a friendly sort of bunny? *bunny blinks and nods* Or… friendly to the natives? *bunny looks terrified* No? Good. I don’t like them either. *bunny appears to sigh with relief* Can you talk? *bunny shakes its head* Well… Do you want to help us- the immigrants and mercenaries- conquer the natives and hostile bunnies? *bunny nods*
Whew. Glad we didn’t have to add on to our already long “Needs to be Conquered” list. C’mon, OOB. Do you know of any hedgehog-eating plants on the Isle? *bunny shakes its head* Darn. *shrugs* Oh well. Are there any other carniverous plants other than the Shplurt? *bunny thinks then shakes its head* Phooey. In that case we’ll go back to the cave…
.
.
.
.
Hi everybody. This is the OOB. I believe it’s the last one of it’s kind… *bunny nods* The natives apparently liked to rip ’em up into little strips of paper to make headresses for their leaders… *bunny nods again*
Anyway, let’s get started on the outfitting of our new HQ. We should install a radar first, I think, due to the violent and sneaky nature of our enemies.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
Could soemone please tell me what exactly has happened since about post 161? I could not post for most of yesterday because I was in the middle of a Prank War with my friends. I have read the posts but don’t really understand it, except that I have been rescued and am with TNO and Shadowkat.
183- Basically, I piloted the RHCB over to the sacrifice site I discovered, where I met up with Dot Keet and Shadowkat. I went off to help Dot Keet explore the area and discovered a fist-sized laptop covered in slime (possibly transforming goo). Dot Keet found evidence of a hedgehog-native-bird-native alliance.Then the HRBs captured Shadowkat and took her into a cave which has become our headquarters. Also, we discovered about a dozen RHCBs and are now using them to transport giant Shplurts, which eat bird-natives. Dot Keet declared war on the hostile persons on the two Isles. And I found the last remaining Origami Olive Bunny.
That about sums it up, really.
What is an RHCB? Rogue Hot Cerulean Bunny?
RHCB= Robotic Hot Cerulean Bunny.
Hey, guys! Thanks for getting me out…I’m glad you found me. But, if we’re going to make this our HQ, we’re going to have to step up the security levels a bit…you know, make sure someone (or something) is guarding the entrance…cameras would work, if we had them. But we never know when the HRB’s might come back. I also think that, if we’re going to battle them, we might want to find their hideout (or main meeting place) and monitor them for a while, just to get a feel for what we’re really dealing with, you know? Anyway, if it’s alright with everyone else, I’d like to take a little trip through the forest on an HRB-tracking expedition. Any volunteers?
ALERT, ALERT!!! I have just been informed that there is yet another species of bunny, but this one not hot (sorry)! It is the Black Bunny (BB), and these creatures live on an island not far away from Pie Isle (called Bulyai-Serwaqi Isle). These BB’s dislike the HPB’s with a passion, as the HPB’s booted the BB’s off Pie Isle long ago…no one knows why, though…I say we check it out…and I think this mission probably comes over the tracking-HRB’s expedition…I have the Iron Rose, so we can take that to the other island…I’ll need 2 other people, though…now I’m taking volunteers for this mission, instead…anyone?
Oh, Shadowkat… The RHCBs have two cameras each, remeber? Install a couple of pie throwers and…
We already have a high-security escape tunnel leading to a herring/swallow tree and radar. We plan on disassembling a few RHCBs and taking the cameras and moniters and setting up a network of stragetically placed electronic eyes. Also some computers and radios and things like that.
I also figured out how to get the RHCBs armed with Shplurts to automatically patrol the area and send data to our moniters when we get them installed, which will be momentarily. The OOB and HMBs turn out to be surprisingly quick studies when it comes to gadgets like this.
Anyway, I’d love to come with you to check out Bulyai-Serwaqi Isle with you. Let me know when you get that other volunteer.
Now, here’s what we’re gonna have to do, and fast:
1. Get the support of the friendly HCBs and any other friendly H_Bs.
2. Track the hostile H_Bs.
3. Track the natives.
4. Check out the BBs.
5. Finish the work on the headquarters.
That’s a pretty substantial list, people! Let’s get moving!
Also, I want to find out if there is anyone else able to communicate with bunnies. Muffin and I seem to be the only ones who can so far. Please get back to me on that. Thank you.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
188- Maybe the BB are similar to the DBB (dark black bunnies) on Rainbow Isle? There only appear to be two of them, and they are the leaders. Hmmm….
Ok, I am going to have to think of another plan to get out of here. There are too many people to rescue, and it’s getting boring down here. So, what else can I do beside pick at the mortar of a 5 foot wall? Hmmm…. *Thinks* Nope, nothing springs to mind. Ok, I’ll just keep going.
Wait, whats that? The mortar has fallen into some sort of hole in the middle of the wall! *Picks feverently* It seems to be some sort of priest hole – Now I just have to get these ropes off… *picks up handy Damacus sword and chops through them* Well, that was easy. Hooray for Damacus swords! (I think you can see where I’m getting my ideas from here) So, now what do I do? Strange – the multicolored pebbles are shaking. Some cracks are appearing in some of them. And wait – one’s breaking open! Out of it is coming… a tiny bunny! Aww… Sweet. It bounds toward me, and I’m reaching down…. Ow! It bit me! It’s attacking my leg! Ouch! That hurts! *Scrambles up into priest hole very quickly* I think that this must be where the bunnies raise their young – I got out just in time. Must run!
I’ve found a tunnel leading out of the priest hole. I scramble up it. Down a tunnel to one side, I can see a host of workers using Brunel’s shield to dig a tunnel under the sea. Suddenly, it bursts! No time to stop. I come on the main body of Pie Isle, near the Wraith. I climb aboard gratefully, and collapse in my cabin.
For now I think that I will stay in the Wraith and the area around it. (I will come and help someone if needed though) However, I will be running a soup kitchen type thing for the explorers – just stop by the ship, post your request, and I will make it for you free of charge! Also, I might not post much for a while – I’ll just lurk and post if I have to.
Actually, are we going to set up like a camp thing with the computer stuff? Like a place for people to sleep, eat, ect. Because that would be really good, as no one really has anywhere to stay at the moment. If no one else wants to, I’ll set up that and run it, if that’s ok.
181- Sorry. I’ll just ask you if I need more detail.
Are there any objections to my setting up the camp detailed in my previous post? If there are, you have until next Tuesday to make them, because I am going to Amsterdam, where I will probably have no internet. Yeh. So, object now, without delay!
191-Nope, just that, you might want to use the cave we’ve been talking about.
190+191- sounds great!
187: Good idea about guarding the entrance. I have just finished transplanting a group of herring/swallow trees encircling the tunnel to our hideout.
188: I volunteer. Btw, you must be referring to HMBs, not HPBs.
191: Places of residence so far:
~various temporary campsites scattered over Pie Isle
~The Wraith
~New Notcac (see posts 146 and 149)
~our HQ
Tell me if I missed any or you want details.
So, Muffin, it’s fine by me if you set up a main campsite as you described, or stay on The Wraith, or tend to the existing sites, or any combination of the aforementioned. Have fun on your trip!
Oops, sorry, I forgot TNÖ said, “We already have a high-security escape tunnel leading to a herring/swallow tree and radar.” Is this the same original tunnel that we used to get into the cave?
Shadowkat-I will go with you on the Iron Rose and explore the island of the BBs. When do we leave?
whoops I didn’t mean for all of that to be in italics.
Oh, excellent! We have a team of four to go to Bulyai-Serwaqi Isle: me, T.N.O, Dot Keet, and Donaldo. We leave as soon as we get all the supplies necessary for the voyage…such as food, weapons, and such. We’ll start an assignment list–
Shadowkat–I’ll get the ship ready, and fix up what needs to be fixed (I have a few boards that need to be replaced, and some of the sails are torn). I’ll also make sure all cannons and pie-tapults are in good, working order. And I’ll find some more goo, just in case…it has a 24-hour effect, and the powers gained are usable at will.
T.N.O–Since you seem to be good at organization, I’ll need you to take an inventory of the items that come on the ship. Also, if you could get us some high-tech security, that would be good, too.
Dot Keet–Do you think you can build some miniature robotic bunnies? I think they’d be useful, especially four single-occupant ones. Also, could you get some useful animals aboard ship? You seem to know them fairly well.
Donaldo–You’re in charge of finding us food. And if you figure out whether or not any of the plants on the island are edible once we get there, that’d be useful, too…I don’t care how you find out, just do, eh? Basically, make sure we have enough food to last a while…you never know.
Did I miss anything?
I have some bad news.
I’m not going to be able to come onto the blog as often as I used to. I’m sort of being… punished… by my parents, except this is worse than you think. I shan’t go into details.
I’ll come to the blog as often as I can, but…
Farewell.
P.S.: Muffin’s in charge of the ship while I’m gone.
w00t! did I get post 200?
Someone should post a summary…
Bye for now, Necromancer.
199 – I’m sorry. That sort of thing really sucks…especially having to explain it to other people.
201 – Yea.
Aw, Necromancer…that’s happened to me, before…don’t worry. As my mom always says: “This, too, shall pass.”
195- no, it’s a different tunnel sealed with the outer parts of the disassembled RHCBs. Thought it might be a good idea to have a way out in case we were overwhelmed, you know?
Sorry, Necromancer! These things do happen, I suppose…
Shadowkat. The regular RHCBs are probably small enough for the easy use of four people. I think Dot Keet should concentrate more on one- or two-person robtic bunnies, since we have more than enough regular RBs (robotic bunnies).
Also, the OOB has informed me that there is a super-strong fiber-ish plant on the Isle (the bunnies use a not-so-strong strain of it to make their ISECs) that can be woven into virtually indestructable sheets of cloth. I’ve set some HMBs to replacing all sails with this material, unless any of the captains have any objections…?
Right now the OOB and I are installing some relatively simple alarm systems around the deck/portholes/other possible entrances on the Iron Rose.

205-I don’t have any objections to the sail-related suggestion.
Lol…well, I don’t know…I meant more like keeping track of things, but whatever.
163- I think your response to everything will be below.
Earthdate: April 12, 2007, time 18:39- Whew! Finally I am posting again. Our encampment, New Notcac, was besieged by Water-Mongrels and rouge HCBs in alliance!!!
It seems that the rouge HCBs and the evil water demons have made a pact to destroy all explorers and jointly rule the island! Their plan involves azerblujani stealth atmosphere bombers and a huge hammer-and-sickle (for of course the rouges are Communists.)
The siege commenced at 6:40 on April 10,2007. Pies of all shapes and sizes were wreaking havoc and casuing massive damage among our soldiers and attle-oids . The battle continued for 2 1/2 days, with our resal snonnac finally carrying the day.
I am currently leading a raid on an encampment about dead center of the isle. We have recieved word that the Water-Mongrels may be commanded by the infamous ßΩ≈∫ µµøπ∞§. Our scouts have already laid traps for the demon/bunny foe, including several ∞ pits and resal snonnac. Our trenches are so far secure, and the enemy doesn’t yet seem to notice our presence.
Beware of invisble bunnies and Water-Mongrels!
Captain Sansirel Dansiit of the Heart of Cacton , signing off.
208-Have I seen you before?
207- LOL. I lose EVERYTHING. I’d lose my head if it weren’t attached to my head…
209- yeah we have.
Captain Sansirel Dansiit. Thank you for your reports. We will be on our guard.
Shadowkat. We’ve just finished rigging a moniter system that will allow us to see enemies approaching from all directions. And also a few cati so we can see any azerblujani traps.

Well, there you have it.
Aw, sorry that happened, Necromancer! The Wraith awaits for you!
All right, let me put together what I’m supposed to do:
“Dot Keet–Do you think you can build some miniature robotic bunnies? I think they’d be useful, especially four single-occupant ones. Also, could you get some useful animals aboard ship? You seem to know them fairly well.”
but then
“I think Dot Keet should concentrate more on one- or two-person robtic bunnies, since we have more than enough regular RBs (robotic bunnies).”
TNÖ, I think Shadowkat did mean for me to build one- or two-person robots. I’ll get right on that. As for the animals… this might take a little bit of time to compile, because I’ll think I’ll look over most of the thread and previous ones to find out what to bring.
211- yes, I was mistaken. Sorry.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
*searching in thick forest for food* What the heck? It looks like this plant is made of pink frosting! *licks the leaf* It is pink frosting! *walks further into the brush* OH MY GOSH!!!! There is pies galore here! ShadowKat! Dot Keet! Everybody! We have enough food to last us for twenty years on the Iron Rose! I need some help though, getting them back to the ship! Whoa! WHat the heck? The pies! They are moving! Towards me!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH! The RHBs and the natives are starting the war for Pie Isle!! *quickly dodges multiple pies coming overhead and then jumps over one coming at his feet! The RHBs! They are in the natives! I have to get to the HQ or to an herring/swallow tree! We need reinforcements! QUICK!
Oh shoot! That wasn’t supposed to all be in italics! Why does that happen? Am i doing something wrong?
Donaldo- after you want to stop italics, go [/i] in angle brackets. And did you mean HRBs??? or… I’m confused.
OH NO! The bunnies have gone on the offensive! Run, Donaldo, RUN! I’ll send in some HMBs and HCBs to hold them back, for now. Everyone, grab an RHCB equipped with either a pie-thrower or Shplurt- I’m taking the RHCB splashed with azerblujani paint. Let’s go, people!
.
.
.
.
*arrives* [POP! SPLAT! BOOM! WHAP!] Goodness, these natives sure are good at throwing pies… Now my RHCB is azerblujani, cerulean, and strawberry-frosting colored. [WHAM!] Still, it’s good to actually be DOING something about the situation other than being captured. [POW! SMACK!] After we finish this battle, we’ll have, as Donaldo said, [CRASH!], enough food for twenty years, and should leave immediately. We [WHACK!] need to find out if the BBs are hostile or not. [ZING! WHOOSH! THWACK! POP! POP! POP! PING!] Now they’re using rocks as well as pies… [POW!]
The HMBs and HCBs are definitly putting up [SMACK!] a good fight. One can hardly [SPLAT!] see because of the pies we’re hurling [POP! PING!] at eachother. Anyway, [CRASH!], the natives and HRBs ((because I assume Donaldo meant HRBs, not RHBs, but I could be wrong…)) [BOOM!] don’t seem to have pie throwers of any kind… [POW! POW!] Which is definetly an advantage.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
TNO-thanks for the advice about the italics. Oops! I meant HRBs not RHBs. Thanks for pointing that out!
209- Probably. I’m Lawrence of Antarctica. You know, the cactus guy.
Cactondate (so I don’t get out of whack with my homeworld): Varisil 20, 20000087, earthtime 10:50- The cactonians have arrived! Ship Class R Sand Sword has arrived, bringing 200 cactus troops. This will help in offensive manuevers against the natives.
12:45- Setting off now, coming through the forest, where we catch sight of some kind of battle between robotic bunnies and natives. An overeager division, attempting to help, vaporizes several miles of trees with a dcia-nonnac , but otherwise, cactus troops are making a big difference in the fight, as the natives are being driven back.
13:07- Ambush! From behind come a horde of WATER-MONGRELS- oh no.
*static*
-overwhelming-
*static*
*pant,pant* We’re driving ’em back…. They’re retreating…. They’re almost all gone…. They’re gone.
Captain Sansirel Dansiit, request contact. Have you been captured?
Well, now it looks like we will have to fight these water-mongrels to see where Captain Sansirel Dansiit is. *turns and starts pummeling water-mongrels with rasberry and golfball pies*
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
*Suddenly remebers top row of RHCBs control panel, which was labeled “laßerß” *starts shooting lasers at water-mongrels* MWAH HA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!! Back, foul… watery…. things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee….!
Ok, they’re leaving. *pilots RHCB over to the ambush site. Captain Sansirel Dansiit isn’t there.* Captain Sansirel Dansiit? Where are you??? Request contact immediately.
Well, the water-mongrels leave a muddy trail… Let’s follow it!
.
.
.
.
Weird. The trail leads to the bay where I first crash landed the RHCB while escaping from the native town, and disapears two feet away from the cliffs. So there’s not really all that much to do here.
*pilots RHCB back to HQ*
So what should we do about these water-mongrels???
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
217-Ohhh…makes more sense now. Sorry.
Oh, dear, we’re never going to get to Bulyai Serwaqi!
*heads off with the rest of her crew*
Hm… I say, since they are obviously hostile, we include water- mongrels on the list of beings we’re at war with.
It remains to be seen whether they are allied with the natives and hostile bunnies.
At last! On to Bulyai Serwaqi! It’s certainly passed time…
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
Remember guys-In the words of the ancient philosopher Kokop Lee, when we get to Bulyai Serwaqi, “unexpect the expected!”
Alright, all aboard!!! We set sail for Bulyai Serwaqi!
*lifts anchor*
Onward and outward! Remaining explorers on Pie Isle, we hope to come back…with good news!
Varisil 21, 20000087 time 15:34- The Water-Mongrel attack has been dispersed, though we were attacked from behind with a multitude of casualties, including the Captain of the Sand Sword . Shot through the heart. Never had a chance. But anyway… The only weakness of Water-Mongrels are the mighty sonic lances, which can cut through spacetime itself. Why we didn’t use these things before, I have no idea. But anyway, we questioned a few prisoners, and they all say that behind this attack was Nogard, the 10-Headed Monstrosity, Commander of all Water-Mongrels, of the Five Known and Five Unknown Heads, Ruler of All Evil, President of Microsoft Corporation. Rendezvous point: south beach of Pie Isle. Sonic lances, 5¢. Come one, come all.
time 16:48- We have recieved an order form the newly elected Acting Emperor Kylis, saying to parley with the natives and Water-Mongrels. Judging from the fact that this transmission dates from Varisil 1, we can safely ignore it and probably by the time that word gets back that we ignored it we’ll have won anyway.
It’s at times like these when I remember the wise words of Emperor Sunitolp, my Teacher of the Cactonian Art of True Science:
Me: Why is the Fox the favorite symbolic animal?
Sunitolp: “F” is the grade that most short kids earn,
“0” is the score on the daily quiz,
And “X” is the crossing out of a failing student from the grade-book.
Hmm… well that’s just weird.
226-Hey!!! I’m short…watch it, wise guy…lol.
226-So am I!!! You better be watching yourself! I get all A’s! LOL
Ship’s Log:
9:00 am No sign of the island. In the water, there are small fish swimming all around our ship, as if it were a safe haven. There are many different types, and the smallest are closest to the ship, while the largest are farther away. It seems as if they are banded together. Hmm. Will have to do research.
Alright! We’ve set sail! As for bringing along useful animals, which was my duty: I have decided that our most trusted and esteemed allies are the HMBs, so I have brought a few representatives of their species in order that they might be consulted if the need arises. I think advice-giving is the only useful animal trait we really need to cover, unless me rallying an animal army was what you had in mind.
By the way, who’s steering this ship?
Okay, I’m back. And I am looking for a possible site for my camp where we can all stay when we are not doing something else. Because at the moment we are too scattered around to do anything well. I was looking in the cave where we are keeping all our technology, ect, and was trying to figure out whether it would be too hard to expand and build a colony down there – at the moment I think that it is too risky to build up on top. After discovering that the ground was of medium hardness, I tapped around listening for hollow spaces that we could maybe expand upon. I found a long passage, and discovered that beyond the initial walls of the cave, the ground was fairly soft to dig through, but would not collapse easily. I borrowed some of the robotic bunnies, and used their shovel attachment to dig various tunnels, and make some caves. I have left plenty of room for expanding, if more people join us here, and will give more info and maybe post a map later. My dad wants the computer, and is giving me the evil eye. Well, he’s not actually, but I don’t have too long…
I feel really sorry for you Necromancer – maybe you’ll be able to get back on after a while.
Has anyone seen Evie lately, anyway? I haven’t. Strange.
Am I the only one posting on here? It’s been 2 days without any new posts! (I am iwanttobeamuffin, but i changed my name.)
Lady Moonstar, eh? I like it. *_*
Good to know about the tunnels near the headquarters. That will be good since the bunnies seem to have gotten around to real war.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
I changed my name. Those of you who post on the pirates RRR should get the joke. I have done some water testing and none of them have come back. I think there is something BIG out there. Keep on your guard, everyone.
I’ve made a map, and will send it to a GAPA to post, but I don’t know the address – Gapa? Help?
[It’s gapa @ musefanpage.com . –Robert]
Right. Thanks. I am sending it…. right… now. Just sent. Time – I don’t know.
230-1: No, I’m here! And I miss Evie; she was fun!
~Ship’s Log~
Ahoy! I see land! And emerging out of the deep, swirling fog, slowly coming towards us is… another ship! Could it be? Who else dares to skim these waters?
The Bulyai-Serwaqi Isle navy, of course!
(Did you think this would be an easy trip?)
236 – She disapeared 3 weeks ago. Anybody seen her?
Hm. Bulyai-Serwaqui ship? Well, that’s ONE way to get them to reveal whether they’re hostile or not. Here goes…
“HULLO! WE ARE THE IMMIGRANTS OF PIE ISLE, TO THE SOUTH OF HERE! WE COME IN PEACE! ARE YOU FRIENDLY OR HOSTILE??”
…
“I MEAN, I KNOW ABOUT THE HMB THING, BUT…” yeesh. those looks they’re giving us is really starting to creep me out… “ARE YOU GOING TO SIT THERE STARING ALL DAY OR ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING?”
…
argh. This isn’t working. “CAN YOU COMUNICATE WITH US? DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?”
“mumble mumble mumble”
Ah, at last we’re getting somewhere. “COULD YOU PERHAPS SPEAK UP A BIT?”
… “What … do you… want?”
Er… “Well, really to just find out if you guys are friendly or not. We’re at war with most of the H_Bs and both native species on Pie Isle, and any… er… help… would be good.”
“You… want… help?”
“Yep.” *the BBs seem to converse in another language*
“We… may be… able… to help…”
“‘May be?'”
…
“Why only ‘may be’?” *but the BBs don’t want to talk anymore. They look scared and the BB I was speaking to seems to give orders to the rest of the crew. They leave just as three more ships with nasty looking BBs and DBBs all over the place.* Why is it, do you think, that all the remotely friendly H_Bs seem to have mean bunnies of the same species? I don’t get it. But right now it looks like we’re about to do battle…
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
Has a Gapa got my map yet?
Alright, well, I guess, since we can’t really tell whether or not the BB’s and DBB’s are hostile, we’ll just stay here for a while…drop anchor! Also, my scripsquirr will be joining us shortly, as soon as I get him.
Gapa………. Could we please have another thread for this? Pleaseeeeeee?
227,228- Heheh. He calls everyone short, even the kid who’s 6’2.
Sorry I have not posted for so long, and everyone seems to have stopped anyway. I was kidnapped by the evils of History Project , Religion Project , and Webcomic . These have overwhelmed me for several days, until I had totally missed whatever happened. Can soemone please fill me in?
Hmm. All villains seem to have taken a week-long summer break, while everyone is deabting leaving. We cannot, since we have crashed! Don’t just leave me here!
Do not worry. I am here. Absolutly nothing has happened. I am taking drastic measures – I am writing to MUSE to beg for help from Musers. Hopefully I will get my parents to take me to see a folly soon, and take a picture so the Editors have an excuse to publish it.
~~~I COME FROM AFAR AND I LEAVE AGAIN~~~
Gapas! Will you post my map!
People! Post!
~~~I POST FROM A MODEM~~~
~~~YES THAT IS TRUE~~~
~~~DON'T GET MAD I'M JUST DOING WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO~~~
Ah! Battlestations, battlestations! We one the >Iron Rose are being attacked by a ship called the Koast of Krismas Yet 2 Kum! FIRE! FIRE!
[BOOM]
Bring out the RHCBS! [BOOMBOOMBOOMSPLAT]
{comuter: postingpostingposting}
SHUT UP COMPUTER!
ok, they’re leaving. Phew.
Radio Transmition to Wandering Ghost
WG, are you hostile? Where do you come from? Do you captain the Koast of Krismas Yet 2 Kum??? And, most importantly, WHY DO YOU USE A MODEM?

Come on, people!
Gapas! Will you post my map! On second thoughts, don’t. Wait until the next thread, when we will get many more people! I hate to be like E2MB on the random thread, but no one reads down here any more! Sorry Gapas. But we must have a part two, or we shall perish trying to conquer pie isle on our own! TNO! WG! BATTLE STATIONS!
Wait! New plan! Wandering Ghost, we are enlisting your help. TNO, I am assuming you are with me from the start, and if you aren’t, why not?
O.k. I think that there is no point trying to do anything, like adventuring, ect, as nobody posts here. So it would only be a three person adventure, which is boring. So, let’s concentate on getting a part two. Which people might post on. See, Gapas, we have very good reasons for doing this. See next post for job details.
JOBS
All- Post as much as possible. Only PoPo if necessary though.
TNO- Keep the PoPoPo off our trail. Or, if that is impossible, then build up a large supply virtual Choklit. We may have to PoPo sometimes.
Lady M- Be very nice to the Gapas to make them give us our part two.
WG- Tell everyone off for making long posts. Example –
“TNO, why didn’t you make that very long post into two short ones? We are trying to get onto part two, people!”
I’m the mascot for Pointless Posting? I’m flattered….
Yup. Not so much for PoPoing, but more for rooting for more threads.
Wait, comment 255 was in response to comment 252.
Lady Moonstar, we didn’t get your map. Can you send it again? Make sure it’s addressed to gapa @ musefanpage.com (without the spaces, of course).
Sorry I haven’t been posting in a while. We need a new thread where we can continue our adventures on Pie Isle and expedition to Bulyai-Serwaqi.
POST EVERYONE!!!!
258- Don’t worry. I will send it again once we have a new thread, just to prevent any Cruel Gapas posting it on this one.
Donaldo! You’re back! Just POST! You can help TNO with the PoPoPo.
39 comment to go…
Wait, make that 38. If they all get moderated.
You’d really subject yourselves and everyone else to 38 pointless posts just to get a new thread? I won’t allow it. Pie Isle, Part 2, coming up.
