Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2005 1:22 pm    Post subject: Empty Streets! - Finally Over! I thought that its about time i did a story in this forum. Chapter 1= Return to the City. Storm entered through the city gate. It was midnight. Normally at this time of the night, the city of IF would be alive. People would be walking on the well lit streets, all pubs and bars would be open and the battle fields would be red with blood and fires and bits of bodies and trees or armour blown up. Normally the apartment that was being rented would be full of noise and battles of magic or hand to hand, I mean at least somebody would have been thrown out of the window. The chat room would have people talking, attacking the chat Admin or planning. Instead the streets were dark and cold, there was nobody about. Dim lights flickered in a few windows of the city buildings. Idea masters mansion was still, silent, dark and it looked as any other mansion did in any normal city. The rented apartment was in perfect condition. The windows were made of untouched glass, the curtains were not stained, the door was in place and all the walls were in one. Not a crack in the road, not a crack in any wall of any building. The battle fields were green with grass and Etherials flowery fields had hardly any flowers, just a few wild weeds that were long dead and dried out. The entrance to the underground world were so much would have happened was nowhere to be seen. The Mayors Palace looked as neat and posh as any other normal Palace in any other normal city. The City of IF looked like any other normal city. It was just a bit cleaner and had no traffic….no wait….A car just drove past. Storm caught a glimpse of the driver. A posh, smart dress, a briefcase in the seat next to her, a car that you would drive to the office in the morning instead of a supper fast cool car. The driver was Vampire Idiot! Her good old friend Vamps! Storm always knew that Vamps was clever and would easily be able to afford this sort of stuff, but where would she find it in the city? And why would she be wearing a posh dress, driving a posh car and carrying a posh briefcase when she’s in the city of IF? And since when do people in this city drive in the right side of the road? This City looked normal, it was normal now. The problem is, this city was never meant to be normal. It had never been normal. It had been full of insanity, good storygames where people used all of their imaginations, battles everywhere, magic being used all the time, demons always on the loose, Phang and her strange gang of demon and monster friends, Storms little nemmi monsters that Phang gave her, vampires, dragons, animals, flowers, broken buildings. Keys Palace was flooded with chocolate last time Storm had been there. IMs mansion was full of boobie traps, swords, axes any weapon you could ever think of would be swinging down on you with good aim and speed as soon as you entered. Now Storm walked up to her boyfriends mansion, she looked through the gates. It was tall dark, the gates where not spiky and the letter box was standing straight. She tried to rattle it and call IMs name. But it wouldn’t budge. It stayed rock solid in the ground and it made no noise. On the gate there was a doorbell. It was polished and it seemed to have been used a lot recently because the button was so clean and shiny but around the outside it was slightly dirtier and dustier. Not many people dared go up to his mansion and Storm had always rattled the letter box and called him before he let her in. Strange she thought. Now she looked even closer, she could see through one of the windows. There was no sign of traps anywhere. It seemed as if all the traps were rid of and the place looked as if no magic had been used in years. What’s happened? Storm asked her self. She could see IM in one of the windows. He had spotted her. Had he recognised her? He should have done, she had only been gone a few months. About 2 and a half she guessed. She lost track after about 3 weeks. She had been thinking of all the fun she was missing and thinking about IM and if he’s OK. She had really missed him and her other friends. Well it looks like I didn’t miss anything exciting……but what happened here? It isn’t like IM to not use magic and take down his traps just for the hell of it. And it isn’t like the corner shop to be full of vanilla coke bottles that have been untouched. Usually Sorrow would have either bought them all or sneaked in, drunk them and put the lids back on as if nothing had happened. IM came to the door. He stepped out and ran to the gate. He unlocked them. He looked as nice as he did when Storm had last seen him. As soon as the gates started to open IM moved back out of their way. Storm ran through them as soon as she could fit and hugged him. To her relief he hugged her back. “Where have you been?” he asked her. “Mars.” She said. But it was no joke. Tramp in a Storm came from Mars. She had gone back there for a while to see how things were. “What happened here? The city has turned…..its….all…..normal.” she said. “You’d better come inside. The Dust-bin lane has been moved to another city. You can stay here over night if you like.” The gates closed behind them as they walked up to the house. Storm looked round and when she saw them she smiled. I knew he’d have something to do with magic still working. “Automatic sensors.” He said seeing her smile. Now it was gone. And they walked through the front door, IM closed it behind them and led her straight to the living room. No long hallways, no swords, axes, hammers, spears or anything swinging down on them or shooting out of the walls. Those things had killed a witch I knew. Yet I’m not glad they are gone. The rooms were nicely decorated. At least one sting stayed the same. I cant come up with a poll for this first chapter. If i can come up with one i will put it up. otherwise there will be one for the next chapter. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Last edited by tramp in a storm on Tue Apr 01, 2008 3:39 am; edited 22 times in total Back to top Author Lebrenth Honored Citizen Joined: 29 Dec 2005 Posts: 1484 Location: Utah Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2005 6:18 pm    Post subject: What a nice way to be introduced to the way things were....

I hope the spacing is ok in this one, let me know otherwise. Chapter 2= What happened? IM and Storm sat down. IM made some hot chocolate and brought in some chocolate brownies. They ate, drank and spoke about what they had been up to. Still, IM had not used magic. “What happened here?” “The City of IF has been forced to normality. I really miss the old insane days.” “But I haven’t been gone that long. I wasn’t expecting the whole city to be turned to normal. I mean nothing changes like this over night, especially this city. What happened?” “It did happen over night though, Storm. All it took was one night. From sun set ‘till sunrise. After sunrise the city was normal.” He paused thinking back. “We were attacked. I sent telepathinc messeges to you but there was no reply. I don’t think you got them. Did you?” “No.” “Creatures attacked the city. They forced everyone to back up against the walls. They broke into every building of this city and got everyone together in the auditorium. They locked everyone in. Then strange trucks and cars started arriving. I was watching from my mansion, thinking of what to do. I thought they wouldn’t be able to get in, with all the traps I had. I think Phang was watching from somewhere. Vamps was on the roof of keys palace. I don’t know where the rest of the survivors where. By midnight all the mess of the city was cleaned up. The battle fields, the apartments. They even replaced chinarens old sofa. With a different one to the one that you put it the old ones place. The whole city was cleared by midnight. Then they threatened everyone in the auditorium. They locked key away and have taken over the city. Everyone did what they could to stop them. Key fought back to try and save his people. Phang attacked them and eat quite a few of them. But that wasn’t enough. Vamps bit a load of them. Everyone did their best. But by sunrise they had forced everyone back into their homes and to obey their new rules. By sunrise they had banned Phang and all the other demons from using their demonic powers. All dragons had their wings tied. And they broke in here, bombed the traps with hand grenades, forced me to stop using my powers.” There was a very long pause. “Who are they?” Storm asked at last, quietly and slowly full of fear. “Nobody knows. They rule like normal government. And Storm you’d better get out of here before they find you.” “No. let them find me if they want to. But we will get this city back,” “We cant. There is no……” he paused. Maybe there was a way. “ I suppose we could all get together and rescue key….then we could attack them. Most of them left the city. Probably to find another city that needs to be changed.” “Then lets go! Wait. We need a plan.” OK. That was chapter 2. Can I have some ideas of what the first part of their plan should be? Just post up what you think and then I’ll put them in a poll. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author Muaddib Comrade Joined: 31 Dec 2004 Posts: 1765 Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2006 7:57 am    Post subject: Go and locate the old stash of Chinaren bombs, Ravenwing darts, Saxon turkeys, DLotus phart-missiles...and YES if you really need to hurry you can go on one of them WheelieDib toys.

Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 9:43 am    Post subject: Empty Streets! ~Reunion. The next day Storm left IMs house and went to the reception. She entered the room lebeled Whos On Line. From there she could see who was awake in the city at the time. This would make their plan a lot easier. She found that Phang, Vamps, Fauna, Smee and Sorrow were logged in. But she wasn’t. That’s strange she though. I’m awake as far as I’m concerned. She then made her way down the stairs to the second floor where she could logg in. She logged in and went to check on the stories she missed. First she went to the ones that were familiar to her. Magic school was empty. Everywhere was full of cobwebs. Nobody had been in here for ages. She crept in silently as if expecting to find somebody there. Every step she took echoed. The whole castle-like school was dark, cold, miserable and full of cob webs. “Well I don’t suppose the rest of the RPs and Storygames have been visited for some time either.” She said to her self and left the old school of magic and went to start putting the plan in action. First she had to find and reunite people who could help fight off the creatures. As she was walking down the streets of IF trying to find any of the people who were logged in she saw Sorrow_A. He was standing infront of the drinks shop staring through the window. “Hey Sorrow!”she called and ran up to him. “Storm! I take it you’re back then. When did you get here?” “Last night.” I said. “What do you think of the place?” he said looking around and started to walk towards the chat room. “Very nice.” I said sarcastically. “I’ve never seen so much insanity.” After some time of silence and staring around at the chat room that was just like an ordinary pub, Storm started to tell Sorrow about the plan. “We have to get everyone together and rescue Key. He will then be able to help us, with his Mayor Powers, to get rid of the creatures.” “Simple plan. But I cant fight.” “How come?” I said surprised. “They took away all my arrows and I haven’t been able to make new ones. Plus they have banned me from drinking vanilla coke and eating anything with vanilla in it. So I have not weapons and no magic.” This was going to be a problem. “will you help me get everyone together? Then we will see what we can do about your powers and arrows.” Then set off to find Phang and Vamps. IM was going to find Fauna and Smee. Then he was going to search some of the old storygames and RPs for anything that we could use. Phang was in the authors section writing a story. “BOOMER!!” I yelled looking over her shoulder making her jump up. She almost hit me in the face! Vamps was with Fauna and jnmrcs learning Spanish. IM was with them. He joined them after finding Smee. Now they could all go together and search for things to use against the creatures and come up with a plan to rescue Key. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

They split up and secretly entered different stoygames and RPs to find weapons or be inspired by old fighting tacticks. IM and Storm went to look around Magic School of Doom. Sorrow went with jnmrcs to look around their old stories. Smee went with Fauna to look around theirs, starting with Carvers Blossoms and the MADNESS IN CHAT. Vamps and Phang looked in BOOMER, vampaneese atack and other stories and storygames. They met up again in the chat room. Storm and IM returned with swords, shields and potions. Sorrow and jnmrcs returned with (to Sorrows greatest delight) bows, arrows and armour. Smee and Fauna returned with lots of Red Bull ( Smee needed to re-grow his wings), a pile of dicktionaries and lots and lots of flowers. Vamps and Phang returned not long after with shurikens, weelydibs, daggers, a spoon and an old....walking stick? "I remember them!" I yelled and ran up to them. "Your trusty rusty thrusty spoon 'o doom and Phangs old Flame throwing Walking Stick!" Everything seemed to be in place. They had everything they needed apart from hyper drinks and chocolate. "What about my magic? Can we go get some vanila coke?" So.... do we break into the shop at night to get Sorrows vanila coke? Do we leave him to go without any magic? Does IM and Storm come up with a new source for Sorrows magic? _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author jnmrcs Builder Joined: 30 Apr 2005 Posts: 1274 Location: Puerto Rico, Soy Boricua pa' q tu lo sepas...

The eight IF cityzens were now getting excited. They had an ideaq of what they were going to do. Being specific had never done them too much good. Vamps, Phang and Storm had strugled to meet up at weekends and follow a specific weekend plan. So they had their ideas and left the rest of it to destiny. First thing was first. They had split up and carried on with their normal every day doings and acted as if nothing was going on. At 6pm they met in one of faunas abandoned fields. "Can we grow some flowers?" Fauna said looking around at her fields now empty apart from grass. "Later fauna. Sorrow needs his powers first, then when we've rescued key and we aren't so bothered about being found out we can grow all the flowers you like." Said Storm. IM and Storm then moved to a space some distance away from everybody else. Sorrow followed. "What do you want to use Sorrow?" asked IM. "I dont know. What can i use?" "Well we havent got much." Storm said and searched her pockets. "I have a keyring." she brought out a crystal with a keyring shape on it and in the crystal was a lightning bolt. "It will have to do." Said IM. "It's different to vanilla coke. We'll need a new spell." Said Storm knowing that if there was a reward for the worst witch to come up with a spell it would be given to her. So? You're the experts! Come up with a spell or as many as you like. I will put up a thread in the market place. Write it up and you can bid for you'res to be put up in the story. Bidding will start at only 5 Fables. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author jnmrcs Builder Joined: 30 Apr 2005 Posts: 1274 Location: Puerto Rico, Soy Boricua pa' q tu lo sepas...

Jnmrcs saw that IM and Storm didnt have a spell to make the keyring Sorrows powers. He thought for a moment. After a few minutes of silence he got out a pen and paper and wrote something down, then he handed the paper over to IM. Storm and IM read the spell out loud while Sorrow held the keyring up high in the moon light. "Powerful blue light that falls from the sky hit this small crystal to give us what we want. Be aware, it don’t broke. What we want it’s a change to the best coke. That powerful liquid to us bring; please be quick to change this keyring." The keyring glowed and everyone covered their eyes. Sorrow winced not just from the brightness but also from the pain. He was now conected to this keyring and the powers it held were his, nobody could use them apart from him- it was no surprise that it hurt him. Fauna turned sharply as she heard something....or rather someone calling. She couldnt see far in the dark. "Did anyone hear that?" she asked just as a figure came running up to them. Everyone looked on shocked. Who could it be? Have they been discovered? This would mean their doom. They still could not see properly who it was standing not far from them as clouds had covered the moon . Storm was the first to react. She got out her sword of Fire. The glow of the flaming sword provided enough light for everyone to see that the figure was only Duffman. The Elder who changed his name to Atticus Kaine. Phang ran up to him and hugged him. Everyone else started laughing from releaf. "What are you doing out here?" He asked seeing all our weapons and the keyring that still glowed dimly. "Saving the City?" said vamps in a casuall suggestion tone. "Ah! I see. Can i help?" "Of course you can. He can or I'll kill you all!" threatened Phang. Storm and Vamps just laughed and everyone agreed that Atticus can help. "So then. Are we going?" said jnmrcs. Everyone looked around nervously. "Yes." Said IM and they all set off across the fields back to the city covered with a thick blanket of night and full of normal, controlled, spookily Epmty Streets.

Nobody said anything about the end of this chapter, and that isnt now thats later and some will die by the later.lol. Anyway: Chapter 7= The Epmty Streets. They crossed the fields of fauna and entered the city streets. "This is strange" said jnmrcs. "I hear tingly-jingly sounds from the other elders. Leo leave me alone you go save the charmed ones, I'm busy!" "My flowery necklace isnt liking this." "You didnt tell me the streets were completely emty on Thursday nights." "They aren't." "Can i use a force field with this thing?" CRUNCH. Everyone froze. IM pulled Storm closer to him. Smee put his hand over Faunas mouth to stop her from screaming and vamps cluched her special spoon as she let out a squeek. "Shhh." said jnmrcs annoyed. "Its just a cat look." he pointed to a large black cat. Vamps screamed at it. "What?" asked Phang trying to resist her urge. "It's just a cat." she could no longer resist and started to follow it trying to stroke it. "Phang no!" yelled vamps. "Thats the cat that was in Storms garden that time! the one we thought was a warewolfe! It still hasnt got enough revenge on me and Storms cousin......." she whispered in a dramatic and horror toned voice." It will eat you." "Ah dont be...OW! IT BIT ME!" Phang hissed at it and the cat hissed back. Sorrow and Storm froze as in between them where IM had stood now stood an even larger black cat. It groweled deeply at the other cat that was now about to leap at vamps. As Storm and Sorrow turned to see that the cat was actually IM, IM stepped on the tail of the other cat. The cat scrached him and Storm got out her brand new Handled-Sponge. It was filled with water and ofcourse soap. Storm had incerted a button on the handle that would make the soapy liquid squirt out. She saocked the Evil cat and as IM let it go it ran for its life. Fauna let out a sigh of releaf. "It was just a cat." she said and started walking down the road again. IM turned back to his human form and followed, Storm close next to him and vamps, Phang and Atticus not far behind. Sorrow shook his head to get rid of the shock and also followed. This was a new power of IMs. He could change into a cat before but not one that big. Imagine what would happen if he got on his brothers nerves, he'd get squished! The team carried on walking towards keys house. They passed Muadibs corner shop and the shop next door (also owned my Muaddib) that had all of Sorrows vanila coke. They passed the chat room, the City Auditorium, Market and Market Hall. They finaly followed Storm to Dust-bin lane. "What are we doing here?" asked Phang looking around nervously. "Do they still remember Alice?" whispered IM into Storms ear. "Errm....i do believe so. But nobody seems to be here. They have all gone back to Mars....but why? OF COURSE! The Tramp Festival! They are NOT going to forgive me for missing this!" She warned everyone. CRUCH! CLICK! "That wasnt a cat." said fauna "Well whatever it was it couldnt have been dangerous. This is Dust-bin lane." "Lets split up. Then we stand more chances of getting to Key." "NO! Wait!" Everyone turned to see chinaren running up to them. He too looked around the Dust-bins nervously. "Key isnt at his Palace! He was moved after the cat reported you lot on your way to rescue him." "You should have let me cruch it." " I told you it wanted revenge!" "well my spies tell me he is some where under ground. It is possible that they are taking him to The Center." Everyone looked at Sorrow, Storm and IM. "What?" they said together raising theor hands inocently. BANG! A bullet. Everyone looked around to see who was hit. Everyone was OK. There was no sign of a bullet or anyone else around. "Oh. erm. Thant might have been them right now, shooting Key." "How did we hear it though?" Storm looked towards her Luxury Dust-Bin. Her Face went Pale. IM realised what she had thought of. She darted forward towards her home but IM pulled her back. "Going in will do no good. Not from the main enterance anyway. We need a way round. A secret passage?" "Yes, there is one or two....I like secret passage ways, so i built a few. But when i see Mr Sikik Ice gew i am going to kiil him!" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Storm, Vamps and IM went down the next door Dust-bin. They entered a secret passage way. From abouve they Heard a scream. "Two short and then one long high-pitched. Never good." "It sounded gurgly. Someones been shot!" "Or stabbed." "This cant be good." Vamps and Storm both thought of the possibility of this being their best friend Phang. IM knew it wouldnt have been her or Sorrow, them two never got hurt this early on in an adventure. Vamps held back her worried tears but Storm was more sensitive. Quiet tears trickled down her cheek, but she knew they could not go back now. They had to wait to meet the others in the Luxury Dust-bins kitchen. "Don't worry. I'm sure they are all fine." Said IM hugging Storm. "We need to know who it was. Storm do you have credit on your phone?" _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

"Hello?" Came a whisper. "Phang? Whats going on? We heard a scream." "Yeah..That was fauna." Another short squell was heard and then the sound of running. "What the hell was that?"Asked vamps shocked. Phang sighed. "Why cant she keep quiet? She's going to get them killed." "Phang! What the hell is going on up there?" Yelled vamps. "Ssshhhh. jnmrcs wanted to have a go with Sorrows Bow and Arrow. He let him but jnmrcs broke one of the arrows. So then Sorrow grabbed the first person in front of him, who was chinaren, and he is about to kill him! everyone else has hidden. Even i wouldnt want to get in uis way." Vamps had put the phone on loud speaker so IM and Storm heard the conversasion too. "Oh. Dear." Said IM. "Ah Crapified." said Storm. "I have to go." Said Phang and put the phone down. ~*~*~*~*Back to abouve ground, on Dust-bin Lane~*~*~*~*~* Sorrow grabbed hold of chinaren by his orange fur. Chinaren yelled with shock and called for his guards. His guards however had been taken away from him when the City was normalised. "Damn you normal people!!" He yelled instead. "Shut up chinaren!" threatened Sorrow. "What did i do?" "Nothing i suppose." "Then why me?" Sorrow looked puzzled for a moment as he thought. "I dunno. I'm sure I'll think of something over the years though." Sorrow grinned evilly as a thought came to his head. He took the money making, orange-furred, scared creature over to one of the dust-bins. He liften the lid and found that it wasnt a home but an ordinary bin. "Excelent." He waved his spare hand over the bin and the keyring glowed brightly, but not as brightly as i did the first time. The bin then filled with chinarens money. Sorrow waved his hand over it again and murmurred the words "Fire ball Fire ball Cast a fire On it all." The money lit on fire and withing seconds there was a blazing fire that reached higher than Sorrow himself. Sorrow saw that this would not do because the bin was too small. So he waved a hand over it again murmurring the words of another spell: "Meghalose gia emena Meghalose tora." And the bin grew into a large pit. Sorrow then hung Cinaren over the edge and laughed insanely. "Today Chinaren you shall die!" His laugh was loud and clear and the whole city heard it. even the three underground. Fauna stood some way away, so did jnmrcs and Smee. And so did Duffman. They were all staring in horror. Phang was standing a little closer trying to think up of a deal. "Hey Sorrow!" she said just before he dropped chinaren in the pit of flaming Fables. "What? No deal!" He said not even waiting to listen to what Phang had to say. But she carried on anyway and he paused. "I will fix your arrow and buy you some more if you let me have him for my dinner after you've cooked him in his money." "Erm...O.K. fine! i want an extra 200 arrows for it though!" "If you dont let me eat him i wont give you 200 arrows." Sorrow though it a bit peculiar that Phang was being so presice in her last sentence but he ingnored the little voice in his head that screamed she's thinking of something" she has a trick up her sleeves! Sorrow let go of Chinarens orange fur and let it drop into the pit of flaming fables. Sorrow looked on with oaw as the burning chinaren turned the flame a gree and blue colour. Phang got out a camera and took a video of it. "For Storm." she said when Sorrow looked at her wierdly. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author Shady Stoat Elder Joined: 02 Oct 2005 Posts: 2950 Location: England Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 5:29 am    Post subject: Good story Stormie.

Well, i actually cut off some of the ending so that it would fit into the next chapter. 'Cos we dont want one thats too long. It puts people off. Well here it is. Chapter 9= Performing Fire- the insanity begins! Fauna screamed at them. "How can you do such thing?" She then ran up to the pit ingoring the danger that she was in near Sorrow and threw flowers in the pit. The flames changed colour again. She smiled at it. "Flower Power!" she yelled. Smee ran up to them and threw in a dicionary to see what that does. The flame started dancing! Phang was having the time of her life filming this! jnmrcs said a short spell in Spanish and the flames started to do a pantomime of Cinderela! Duffman Poured a bit of Multi-Flavoured Duff into the pit and the fire actually GOT DRUNK!!! it was acting like a load of drunken men trying to perform the play of Cinderela. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Under ground~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "What's going on up there?" said vamps. "Why? What do you hear?" asked IM, now scared of his litle brother. Storm was hiding behind a large rock that 'mestyriously' apeared in the dungeon. "There was screaming. Now i hear laughing and....it sounds like a performance of some sort of play." "What....Play.." asked Storm from behind Vamps rock. (it went everywhere she went.) "Storm? are you O.K.?" Asked IM walking cautiously towards the rock. "NO!" yelled Storm in reply. "What play is it? I want to know!" "Sounds like Cinderela." Said Vamps straining her ears and then looking towards where Storm was hiding with a confused look on her face. Storm got up and walked out from behind Vamps Rock. Her head was bowed and her long, brown hair was coming down her side. Vamps gave her a dirty look. This was not usual, normally Storm hated having her hair down her front, it was usually tied back. "I want to go up and see." she said raising her head. "No. We carry straight on. It's too dangerous." said IM. "I dont care." "He's right, Storm. We could get killed. I dont even want to imagine what Sorrow is like when his arrows get broken." "I- do- not-care." said Storm slowly and clearly. "Cinderela is one of my favourite fairy tales. I want to go see whats going on." IM and Vamps sighed. "O.K. but we will be very quick." said Vamps and turned into her bat form. IM started to levetate and followed the flying Storm who followed Vamps to the surface. Well, Storm was happy. IM was worried about what his lunatic brother might do and Vamps was worrying about the play. Cinderela was not her type of 'ooh i must watch' performance. They got to the surface and landed by a dust-bin. They ran up to the rest of team who were laughing. Storm got out a thermoniter and stuck it in the laughing Sorrows mouth. There didnt seem to be much wrong with him. "What was that for?" he asked still laughing. "Are you feeling O.K.?" "Yes. Why shouldn't i be?" "Storm, leave him. Dont remind him." Said IM and pulled her away from Sorrow. Everybody watched the Performing Fire and laughed at it dancing around, getting the words wrong and pulling funny faces at its audience. <><><><><><>< ~Now the fire had almost gone out and the sun had started to rise. Vamps had fallen asleep from boredom a few hours ago. Smee had fallen asleep reading his dictionary; he'd been trying to find a word that he said the fire had pronounced wrong but the fire wouldnt believe him and they fell out. Duffman had drunk himself to sleep, jnmrcs had fallen asleep because he was too tired. Phang had laughed herself to sleep. Fauna had fallen asleep next to Smee by looking at a flower when the fire got boring. Sorrow was put to sleep by IM after he tried to fight with the fire because the fire made fun of him and his arrows. Storm had fallen asleep by looking at the fire, the warmth and glow of the dancing flames had made her fall asleep. IM should still be awake....no wait....there he goes! He just saw a beam of light from the rising sun. Now they are all asleep. So whos watching out for danger? tutut. they'll be in trouble now. Nobody awake to see the coming Lord of the Night. O.K. fine! maybe now they are safe, its day so poor old Lordy disolved. The rather larfge group of IF heroes was safe and asleep, resting and dreaming....about what? _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

DREAMS Twas the night before If-mas And out in the street Our heroes were dreaming And twitching their feet Smee, he was dreaming Of red bull and Fauna While IM was snoring Quite loud in the corner While Fauna was sucking Her thumb in the night The Vampy was dreaming Of bat-wings and flight Good Duffman was writhing To dreams hot and bawdy While Phang’s head was stuffed Full of daemons – oh Lordy! And Juan dreamed of cobwebs And empty school classes But Stormie located The screams of the masses She followed them into The sewers and holes And drifted right past All the great giant moles And finally found them Imprisoned and glum Down there with the rats And the stoats and the scum And right in among them She noticed the Mayor And thought when she woke That they ought to look there.

Dancing around naked through the street, I slipped in a puddle and fell in. After the disruption of such a beautiful ballet, I was very angry with the cream cakes who had tripped me over. Shrugging, I avoided the darts thrown by the zebra-striped tooth on the luminous pink sofa and got on the world's first backwards-inverted stand-up roller coaster. Without restraints. ...Hadn't this all happened before? People I didn't even know were exploding as I fell slowly down into the darkness, yet somehow I knew exactly who they were. And that the explosions weren't real. Fakes that tore at people's hearts with strange, implanted thoughts. I knew whose work this was. And now I knew what was happening. At the edge of a pit, swarming with flesh-eating maggots. Everything was scarily insane. And there he was. Cloaked in darkness in the safety and comfort of his lair. "What do you want?" "I want to help you, my dear..." chuckling to himself, yellowed blades glinted from the shadows. I shuddered. "Why would you want to help me? And I see you're running out of ideas - this is all old." "I am NOT running out of ideas!" leaping across the huge chasm with ease he hung from the indigo bars with rubbery, fleshy fingers, leering into my face with disgust. "I was in a hurry. You are in danger, and within the boundaries of this dimension you cannot know it. There has been an upset, and you must find the other side." "Why do you want to help me? Why can I trust you?" "Because I don't want them to take you, too. They want to get rid of your power - and without that, I am nothing. Not just pushed to the back of your mind. I am no more." growling under my breath, I glare. But I know that he wants me alive and well, for his own sakes, no matter how much he blames me for his own destiny. Waving a hand, I float back upwards into the black sky and things begin to reverse. "I leave you with one clue," he shouts upwards to me before my hearing fades, "Find the darkest place in all of IF!" _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

Chapter 11=Morning is here.-One step closer to Insanity. Phangs dreams had now changed to her being in a field of fluffy pink bunnies. Sorrow was the first to wake up. He had been dreaming too, but not of strange men and portals to insanity. Sorrows dreams were full of arrows and bows. Then at the end every single one of the arrows floating around him snapped with a loud crack. He jolted up and gasped. Then he stared into mid-air as the events of the night before re-entered his mind. "Chinaren. Why did i do it?" more thoughts swept through his mind. what have i done? why did i kill chinaren? he's the richest guy around! and i.....i killed him? there was a strange shine in his eyes and his whole face brightened up."I killed the richest guy IN THE CITY!!!!" He leapt up and was about to run off for a champagne to celebrate (the posh way), when he stopped. Phang was turning from side to side in her sleep and moaning. Vamps and Storm had a confused look on their sleeping faces. Fauna was smiling in her sleep, jnmrcs was speaking in Spanish. IM was curled up in stiches laughing his head off.......but he was still sleeping deeply. Then Sorrows eyes fell on Smee. He was talking in his sleep, reading out all the words in the dictionary in order. Then Sorrow decided that he would blame Smee for his arrows braking. Sorrows face darkened and the grin of an insane mass murderer came across his face. At this moment Phang was screaming the place down while awaking from her nightmare of fluffy pink bunnies chasing after her. This woke everyone else. Vamps covered he eyes from the sun, IM was wondering why he was laughing. Storm saw Sorrows grin. "The grin of an insane mass murderer is a sign of a happy child." she said. Then she realised who Sorrow was staring at. Smee was backed up against the wall. Kicking out with his feet, helplessly trying to move further back. "NO!! GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU MONSTER!!" yelled Fauna. Sorrow ignored her and took out his keyring. He held it in his hand and it started to glow. "Well this cant be good." said Vamps. "Whats up with him now?" Said IM in an 'older-brothers' tone. "I think he's going to kill Smee." "Lets call the police!" said Phang and got out her mobile phone. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted IM and knocked it out of her hand. She stared at him with shock. "Lets watch." he said excitedly. "O.K!!" "YAY!!" screamed Vamps. Then she wondered why she was so excited about watching so bloody and evil. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

Fauna was trying to stop Sorrow but she was held back by an invisible force craeted by IM who had been waiting so long to use even a tiny bit of magic. Phang saw this an remembered how badly she wanted to turn back to her demon form and Vamps wanted to turn into a bat. But they would have to wait. Suddenly a room made of dictionaries and beans was built by Sorrow out of thin air. Smee apeared in it. Then the walls started slowly closing in. But Sorrow was getting bored. He decided to line the inside of the walls with spikes. No. Not spikes.....erm....what should I use? Ah! i know. Cactuses. The inside of the walls were now lined with cactuses. But then they started to produce smoke. They set on fire and Smee was chrushed, impailed and burned to death. "Ouch! painfull." said Phang with a smile. Why were they all so happy? They were supposed to be sane with only a few memories and wants to return to the old ways. All of a sudden Sorrow turned and faced the group of remainding IF Heroes. Their smiles immediatly dissapeared, they stood and ran for their lives. Sorrow chased after them screaming and holding a dagger. But he was destracted by a figure climing out of one of the bins at the end of bust-bin lane. Within 10 seconds the figure had a sharp, golden handled dagger sticking out of his head. Sorrow looked at the person he had just killed. He was wearing a scarf....in this heat? It had a strainge patter on it. Sorrow shivered. Burbery. He then noticed the baggy trousers tucked into a pair or pure white socks. Also, the socks were in pure white trainers with a tick on them. A chav? Sorrow stummbled back in fear. These were the creatures? Chavs? Whats worse is he killed one. What if the other creatures found out? He then turned tail and ran. Ran for his dear little life, stabbing in the head anyone he came across. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

I'm loosing track of whos still alive. So its...Vamps, Phang, Duffman, Jnmrcs, Fauna, Sorrow, IM and Storm. Chapter 13= Where is Key? The eight of the nine remainding IF heroes ran as fast as they could. They heard a scream and a "Save me burbery! save me!" This confused them alot. Storm shiverred. "Are you O.K.?" asked IM. "Chavs." she replied. That one word explained it all. Now they could guess who had transformed this city. "We need to find Key. And quick!" said vamps emptying the 20th bottle of the strongest sun cream on her arms. "Storm? Do you think you could help me out here? Like get rid of the sun or something?" "I cant get rid of the sun. Only Weather and Summer can do that. But i can cover you with clouds." "That'll do." Storm created a thick black cloud over Vamps. This was used as a sun-brolly. "Oi Storm! Give me one of those will ya? I'm melting!" "Now, now Phang. That is an incorrect use of language." said IM. Storm gave him a funny look. "You're doing a Smee." "Eeek!" Storm created little clouds over everyone. Now everyone had a dun-umbrella. They carried on walking. Trying to find where Key would be. It was certain that he was no longer underground. "How about a tracking spell?" said IM, longing to use his magic. "Shall...I....?" Storm teased him ands his smile vanished instantly. "I'm joking." Storm said and laughed. IM smiled and cast his spell. He concentraited hard on Key and what he looked like. Then he said a few words in a different language. His face went blank and pale. He lloked sick. Then he collapsed but Storm caught him before he fell to the floor. She put him down carefully and everybody croweded 'round. "I knew magic was gonna do one of you bad one day." said Phang. "It hasnt sone anything bad to him." explained Storm, "He's just having a premonision or vision of where Key is......He's done this before. But last time he was looking for the chocolate bar that seemed to had grown legs and ran away. We never did find it....." Phang looked really guilty when this was said. "But that time he really scared me 'cos i didnt know he was just having a vision." After a few minutes IMs face turned to its normal colour and he didnt look blank anymore. He opened his eyes and said, "Key is in... Where? He is in some place but where? Give me ideas and then we'll do a poll. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author LordoftheNight Revered IFian Joined: 11 Aug 2005 Posts: 5276 Location: Hell Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2006 4:14 pm    Post subject: The Guild of EVIL Inner Sactium - to which only Chinaren and I have the keys to.

I think he is following us." everyone gasped. As the group started back down the road they were heading they heard a noise behind them. what was it? after looking around nervously and not being able to see anything they carried on walking.... ************* *Night Time again* The group carried on walking. They had been walking all day apart from when they all had an afternoon nap, hidden in an unused sewer. Now the few people who had been walking the streets were all in bed. Phang moaned. "What's the time?" "10pm." said jnmrcs looking at his watch. "Wait! you have a watch!" Fauna said startled. "What if there's a tracking device in it?" "Worry not ethereal, if there was a tracking device we would be toast by now." groaned IM as his feet ached. Everyone was hungry and hurting from walking. "AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" They froze dead in their tracks. Slowly they turned around to come face to face with Key! They jumped from shock as they weren't expecting to find him so close to them he was right in Vamps' face! She jumped back and tried to hide behind the rock that always seemed to be wherever she was. Exept it wasnt there. Key's huge grin of a mass murderer did not match the sad look in his eyes. His expression was terrifying. His face was scratched and he had a black ring around his left eye. His eyes were sad but his smile spread from ear to ear. IM noticed that. And he thought about the City before the Tranformation, back then his smile would lituly spread from ear to ear. "hehehehaheha!! blerablu menatilic! menatiloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!" Fauna screamed as key scared her and hid behind jnmrcs. Vamps, Phang, Storm and IM stared at him for a moment. Then they burst out laughing their heads off! They wobbled around suporting themselves on each other trying to stand as they cryed from laughter. IM failed and fell on his back, with his arms and legs thrashing all over the place. Phang stagered around in spasms. Storm was on her knees trying to calm her self but failing miserably. And Vamps was curled up on the floor as she laughed her evil sounding laugh that could go on to last for days. Key saw this and ran away screaming like a little girl. He bumped into a guy, screamed at him and ran around in circles for a moment before running away to crash into a tree. The a wall, tripped over a bin and finaly fell down a manhole leading to the sewers. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Last edited by tramp in a storm on Wed Mar 15, 2006 4:01 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top Author jnmrcs Builder Joined: 30 Apr 2005 Posts: 1274 Location: Puerto Rico, Soy Boricua pa' q tu lo sepas...

"He needs flowers. Flowers will cheer him up abit." "I really dont know. We'll have to see if we can get anything out of him." "I hope he's OK." "OK? did you see him? He's insane!" IM's ears tingled at that word. insane he thought. He might still remember what it was like, he might still want to be insane again.....but everything had changed over night. As much as he tried, as much as anyone tried they could not come up with any insane ideas. Even Phang had forgoten all the useless bits of information she had been filling peoples brains with in her little rather long rants. Fauna now ignored Bob the Apedog and she no longer suffered from Thwackabobitus. But she wanted to Thwack Bob all the same, just like everyione else did. The urges were sometimes there but everyone was somehow unable to do these things. When they reached the manhole that Key had fallen through they peered down it. It was Dark but they could just pick out a figured at the bottom. "Key!" "Your Highness! Are you OK?" "Am I OK?" Key boomed. He seemed to have come to his senses. "Ever since the Transformation I've been like this!" he clambered up the ladder that was made out of iron. He sat on the pavement infront of the group of IF Heroes. "Here eat this. It will help." Vamps gave him a chocolate bar. "Here wear this. It will also help." Fauna produced a flower necklace. "Fauna? How did you do that? You're not supposed to be able to do that. All Flower Power has been taken away from here." "I don't know" "Because you are closer to freeing us." Everyone stared at Key. What did he mean by that? "The Transformation was not just an ordinary 'Change the City' operation. These things take time and effort, they dont happen over night. I've been investigating a bit. I listened in on conversations that the Normal People had when i was their prisonair. When I got enough i managed to escape. But my escape was hard and drove me to extreme insanity. The type of insane that normal people go. The bad type. Your time to get information from me is limited. In a bit I will go mad again and who knows what I'll do. When that happens, run." "Key, just tell us what you mean by 'We are closer to freedom'." Said jnmrcs getting impatient. "I'm not sure what exactly happened on the night a few months ago. But there are some people from NF here. And only some people from IF. I think we are the only ones.....an Lordy. He is around somewhere. I can sense him. The Normals want us out. But they think that we want them out. They say that this is their land and not ours. I found a piece of paper on the floor in the prison. It fell out of the pocket of one of the guards." Key gave the paper to IM and turned his attention to Phang. "They are after you Phang. I dont know why, but they are." Then key's expresion changed again. He smiled at Phang but his eyes were sad. He started trembling and shuffled against the wall of the back of the building. He sat there hugging himself and started rocking backwards and forwards. Was he laughing? Was he crying? Nobody could tell the difference. Vamps remembered his advise, turned tail and ran. The rest followed. poodles. I was hoping for a decision point. But stil...I'll put one in the next chapter. Dont worry. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Last edited by tramp in a storm on Wed Mar 15, 2006 4:25 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top Author ethereal_fauna Perpetually Distracted Joined: 16 Feb 2005 Posts: 2567 Location: USA Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2006 4:21 am    Post subject: Flower Power is never defeated!

"Wait! out of breath!" "Is it me or are we being followed?" said jnmrcs glancing around nervously. "I think Lordy is somewhere around." Said Storm "Of course he is. KEy said so." vamps rolled her eyes.....a thoguht of Spaz was going through her head. Storm smiled at that. "I dont exactly feel confortable with a meany of the night after us." said fauna. "You'll be OK fauna." "Yeah...I think he'd go for the ones with powers first and then the rest.....when we get our powers that is." "So shouldnt he be going after Sorrow?" asked jnmrcs remembering that Sorrow had all of his powers. "That's my theory crushed." laughed Storm. "Ah well we'll live. If not we'll just have to die." IM repeated the phrase that Storm often used. Storm smiled as Fauna pulled a face at him saying well, that makes me feel better. "We need to consider the evidence we have to getting out of here." said IM. Vamps huffed. "Too much thinking. Sleep first." said Phang. "No! Phang! wake up!!" Vamps slapped her around the face but Phang had fallen asleep on the bench that sat at the edge of the path, in the IF Park (open forum) "Now where do we sit?" said Vamps. "The lovely lovely floor?" suggetsed Storm. So everyone sat on the floor to discuss what they had found out so far. ~*~*~*~*~*~* So far they know: ~According to Key: *This wasnt an ordinary change. It seems more like a move. *It seems that this wasnt done on purpose. ~The piece of peper given to IM read: Follow Phangs Dream ~*~*~*~*~*~* "What was Phangs dream?" "I know!" said Storm suddenly pleased with herself. "It was about that wierd dude who said to find the thingy majig!" Everyone just stared at her blankly....as usual she said something very usefull..... "Wasn't it something like.....Find the darkest place in the city?" said jnmrcs thinking hard and remembering what Phang had said. "Thats the one!" said Storm with a smile. Vamps rolled her eyes. "So we need to find the darkest part of the city and this wasnt a Transformation at all, it was a swap between cities?" said Vamps looking thoughtfull. "Sound like it." murmured IM also thinking hard. "I think we should find a place to sleep now though. It's almost morning." said Fauna. But Storm did not hear it as her attentions sudenly turned to the figure that just came out of the trees further ahead and disapeared as the sun started to rise. So then? Where do we all go to sleep? we can stay where we are but dont forget about the people who dont want us to solve this mystery. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author ethereal_fauna Perpetually Distracted Joined: 16 Feb 2005 Posts: 2567 Location: USA Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2006 3:57 pm    Post subject: Obviously we have to find some place safe to sleep, but where?

"Yeah." said Storm absent mindedly as she stared in the direction to where she had just seen a familiar shadowy figure. "Are you O.K?" asked IM noticing that she was in a world of her own. "What? err...Yeah. I'm fine." she said snaping out of it but still trying to remember where she had seen the figure before. Even though IM was not convinced, and neither was Vamps, they left her alone and followed the rest of the group towards Storm's Luxury Dust-bin. ~*~*~*~*~*Inside the Dust-bin*~*~*~*~ "Everyone settle down anywhere you like. There are a few locked doors, i know, just take my advice and stay away from them." said Storm putting her thoughts in the back of her mind. Everyone settled down in the dust-bin that looked normal on the outside but massive on the inside. Fauna lay in a large flowerbed in a room full of fruit and vegetable plants. Jnmrcs lay on one of the sofas and put on the T.V. When he found that the channells didn't work he went over to choose a video. Phang slept under the table in a sleeping bag that made her invisible. Vamps found the wardrobe in one of the bedrooms. And with Storm's and IM's help she hung herself by her feet from the pole going across the top that once supported hangers. IM curled up like a cat on the rug infront of a fire place in the same room. And Storm jumped into her cosy bed. Everyone fell into deep sleep imediately apart from jnmrcs who seemed to be fascinated by the tweenies video he found on Storm's shelf. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Night time~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Fauna was the first to wake. She found that even jnmrcs had fallen asleep at some point and the telly fussed in the way it does when it tries to tell you that the video has finished and needs rewinding. She crept over to him and woke him up. Then they both went to wake Phang and find Storm and IM. IM was yelling in his sleep and Storm was making the walls shake with her snoring. When they woke the two strange sleepers they looked for Vamps. But she was nowhere to be found. They climbed out of the Dust-bin and looked around Dust-bin Lane for their lost friend. But they still could not find her. All of a sudden someone lept out from the bottom of the Lane. They all stared at him. "That's the one!" yelled Storm finaly recognising the figure she saw earlier....and before a few times. "No. Wait. Me being right is bad. He's a bad guy!" "Who is it?" asked Fauna getting scared. "Lord of the Night." said IM now being able to him more clearly as he came closer to him slowly. "He's been following us all this time hasnt he?" said Phang pointing a finger at him. "Indeed I have my fellow demon." "Hang on! you cant use your powers." said Phang remembering the change. "Yes I can. Because I'm fully me. There is no normal version of me. You lot are insanes stuck in a sane world and sanes stuck in an Insane world.....apart from Storm. There's two of her running around the same world of sannity. That teaches you for traveling between planets and exiting our dimention for so long." "Leave Mars out of this!" "Yeah yeah....anyway back to doing my evil deeds. That reminds me. While you lot were talking to Key I found a little something that belongs to you, IM. He was hard to catch, I was lucky that he lost his powers because of the sanity of this City taking place again." Lordy the pulled up a large black bag from behind him that could not be seen earlier because of the dark. The bag suddenly moved as he pulled up another one and opened the tops of them both. Out of the moving one popped out Sorrow! Out of the still one only the head of Vamps could be seen as she lay unconsious. "Sorrow?" said IM. "Vamps!" screamed Storm and Phang. "What the....?" said jnmrcs looking confused. "Lordy? Here have this." Fauna gave Lordy a flower necklace and hung it around his neck. He tried to push her away with a force of darkness but strangely enough it didnt work. "What?" "Looks like the flowers are taking over." said Fauna in a calm voice and danced away. "Or the normality of NF is taking place again." said Storm and everyone stared at her. "NF? what makes you think its NF? it could be any normal or sane City of the worlds and universes." "Yeah....but NF springs to mind first." she replied casually. IM felt a sudden boost of energy inside him. He thought he'd give his suspicions a try and sent a blue beam of energy flying at Lordofthenight. This flung him high into the air. "Powers!!!!!Powerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowerspowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PPPAAAAAOOOOOOOOWWWWWEEEERRRRSSSSSS!!!!!!" screamed IM at the top of his voice and cast a spell to set up his beloved traps. Then a load of swords, axes and anything else you can think of that's sharp and deadly flew from nowhere down towards Lordy. He shot up and started to dodge them. Phangs wings started to grow and Sorrow found a Vanila coke bottle on the floor next to him. He looked at Storm who smiled as she orbed back next to IM where she had been standing before she orbed into Muaddibs store of Vanila coke. Jnmrcs rushed over to pull Vamps out of the way. Now Demons of all sorts apeared and the world shimmered. Everyone was Transported to The Battle Fields of the City (whatever City it was). Normal people ran in with guns and other weapons like AFHs (Automatic Flying Hammers) that could be switched on and would fly around with great speed and knock-put anyone they got into contact with. These were the new inventions of the science department. "I helped make those!" said Vamps weakly as she came back to consiousness. She got up and found that she could now turn into a bat. Now the Battles begin! _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

Sorrow was hiding up in a tree-the only tree left in the battle fields of the RP area- and he was shooting arrows down at a demon who was trying to climb up. Vamps was having a karate fight with one of the ninja spys that she had met before somewhere....but where? Fauna was throwing flowers all over a very annoyed soldier. Jnmrcs was using a sword and shield to protect himself from another police police person. Phang was lashing out wildly at some poor old soldier trying to reach his gun and shoot her. He couldnt because he was staring at Phang in shock. Someone who was not busy saw his friend try to climb the tree to reach Sorrow and decided to shoot a fire bolt at him. The fire bolt knocked Sorrow off his branch and he fell, but he got caught on a lower branch and was left tangling as a demon that turned out to be a familiar and not a demon (he could nto see very well when he was at the top of the tree) almost caught hold of his dangling arm. "IM! Storm! Help me!!!" He said as they were the closest. Storm took her eyes away from the demon for two seconds to see the mess Sorrow was in, then payed her attention to the demon. "What can we do?" asked IM who had seen Sorrow fall. Storm tried a lightning bolt but nothing happened. "Ah crappyfied! Why do my powers decide to play up now? why not later?" IM then remembered all the equiptment they had collected before they set out to save the City of IF. He reached into his pocket and got out a bottle of Red Bull that Smee gave him and passed it to his brother. "Drink and fly!" he shouted at him. "Thanks!" "That reminds me! Vamps!" yelled Storm as she finaly found her lighting bolts and threw one at the demon who fell backwards in spasms before exploding. "I really need to strengthen my powers to how they were." murmured IM. "What?" shouted Vamps in reply to Storm who smiled at IM's comment. "Spoon!" Vamps knocked out her rival with a surprisingly good high kick in the head. Then she turned to face Storm, IM and Sorrow-who had drunk his Red Bull, shot his opponents and flewn next to the two mages. "What?" she repeated her self indicating that Storm didn't say it loud enough. "SPOON!!!!!!" Storm boomed in reply. "Ah! Spoon?" "For F@#'*s sake Vamps! Your Spoon of Bloody Doom!" yelled Phang impatiently. "Oh!" said Vamps finaly understanding. She got out her Rusty Thrusty Trusty Spoon of Doom and turned to face a group of five soldiers who carried guns. ~*~*~*~*~Meanwhile~*~*~*~*~*~* Fauna had run out of the flowers she picked up before setting of on the life-threatening mission to save the City. And she was getting tired. She was forced into a corner by a demon and his familiar that was in the form of a cat-dog-dolphin type thing. It had the head of a dog claws of a cat but skin of a dolphin and a dolphins tale and fins. Jnmrcs saw her strugling and ran over to her after stabbing another policeman through the stomach. He chopped the familiar in two and started on the demon who was a bit more powerfull and sent a fire ball at him. The shield that Storm had given him, though, had an automatic force field. It shot out and stopped the lighting bolt. Fauna sprinkled the last few flowers she had on the demon and said, "Flower Power." in a calm voice that you would imagine a Godess of Peace to have. This was too much for the demon and he fell to the floor weakened by the goodness of flowers. Jnmrcs took the chance and sliced the head of the moldy-skinned demon off his sholders and impaled his slimy, orange head onto his sword and smiled. "There you go my Lady." "Thank you kind Sir." they laughed. They ran over to IM, Storm and Sorrow to see if they had a plan as demon apeared in the battle field one after the other. "Phang! Your walking stick!!" yelled IM. "Thanks!" she said and got out her Flame Throwing Walking Stick. She blasted a few more enemies and joined the rest of the group. Vamps's opponents ran away from fear and she also joined her friends. "Well? Do we have a plan?" asked jnmrcs. "Nope." "No." "I'm thinking still." "Hang on i'm getting something." "Not really." "Dont ask me." "This isnt good. They are coming at us all the time. We are killing them but it seems as if some demon master has got his attentions on us." Storm said the obvious. "And he doesnt seem to be running out of demons." added IM. "Or familiars." said Fauna. "Well, seems like we're a bit stuck in the mud, doesn't it?" said Vamps cheerfully. "What's with the cheer?" asked fauna. "Excited by the whole 're-live the good old days' thing?" guessed jnmrcs and Vamps nodded. "I've got it!" came the delighted scream of Sorrow. What plan has Sorrow come up with? And it doesnt have to work. It can fail if you want. But what is it? And if it fails we will need a new one. It's all up to you.

"We can use jnmrcs as bait!" "What?!?!" jnmrcs shook his head with shock. "No. nonononononononono!!!!! NO! You are NOT! I repeat, NOT going to use me as bait!" Everyone just stared at him with evil looks on their faces. jnmrcs sighed. "Do I have to die? You lot will be to blame if I do!" "Oh but you don't have to die.....if you get caught by the Demon Master you just might want to die." said Phang circling him and staring at him as she spoke in a tone of voice that sent shivers down jnmrcs's back. "True. true. But there is no 'might' in it, my dear fellow demon, Phang." came the terryfying voice of Lordofthenight. Storm shivered. "You do realise that once we find this Master we will have to defeat him?" "Either that or we stand here and fight untill his demons and their familiars kill us." said IM gently. Storm sighed, "good point." ~*~*~*~*~A few minutes later~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Erm...guys? Are you sure about this?" whispered jnmrcs. "Yes." whispered Vamps from behind a bush. Jnmrcs was standing in a clearing and Lordy had gone to tell his master that the group were offering bait. "But Lordy's gone to tell his master anyway!" "It isn't his master. Lordy worked for himself last time i checked." IM rolled his eyes at jnmrcs failing attempts to talk them out of this. "But he's still going to tell him our plan!" "But he doesn't know about these cuties does he?" Storm pulled three white, hand sized crystals and handed one to IM and one to Vamps. "What are you going to do with them?" asked Sorrow. "When the Demon Master comes we will place these three in a trianlge around him. It will create a force field cage around Jnmrcs and the Master." "But then I'll be trapped with him!" "The thing is...we can shoot him with anything we want. But if he tries to shoot us the bolt will just bounce off the force field and will carry on bouncing off every wall untill it kills either him or jnmrcs." "Verry reasuring Storm." commented jnmrcs sarcastically. ~*~*~*~A few slient minutes later~*~*~*~*~ "I need to go to the gents." complained jnmrcs, breaking the silence. Vamps huffed and rolled her eyes. "Your as bad as Storm and Phang in a queue for a roller coaster!" "OI!!" came the voices of both, Phang ans Storm. "It's true." But then they had no time for more comversation as Lordy reapeared. With him was a tall, and i mean huge man. He had a scar on his right cheek and a fresh wound on his left. The blood from it trickled down his face andlessly and dripped off him towards a lumpy shoulder that it never quite reached. He was covered in black mage robes, a cape and a top hat. He carried a large staff with a very big ball on the top held in place by gold. In it, if you ever had the chance to look closely, you would see a snake slithering around, but it would be the last thing you ever saw. our greatest ennemy in years is a mage with a terrible taste of mage-fashion? thought Sorrow. "NOW!!" screamed Storm and Vamps, IM and her jumped up from behind separate bushes and placed their crystals on the floor. They did for sort of an uneaven triangle. A white and very bright light poured out of the three crystals and in the blink of an eye a demon, a Demon Master and an innocent man were trapped. They all new perfectly well what would happen if they tried to walk out or through a bolt of energy so they all stayed prefectly still. And the moment's silence of the night, that had spread across the Empty Streets and Battle Fields of IF, was broken by a howling wolf and then the cackle of the Demon Master's laugh. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

"Why are you laughing?" asked fauna suspiciously. "How long will these last? And I can still kill your Spanish friend." "What would be the point? Do as we say and we'll release you....then you will be free to torture and eat souls..." came Phangs voice from behind a bush. She carried on as she stepped out, "...which is far better in my opinion." When she stepped out in the open fields and had a clear view of the Demon Master and he had a clear view of her, it happened. They saw each other and worst of all recognised each other. "Phangarian?" the Master's eyes and voice softened. "Etalococh?" replied Phang with the same softness in her eyes and voice. "This is not good." comented IM. Sorrow and Storm nodded in agreement. Fauna stared in shock and horror, while jnmrcs and Lordy looked confused. "You know each other?" asked Lordy. "Looks they they know each other verywell." laughed Vamps and everybody got the hint. "Stop sending us demons and we will release you." said Phang startling everybody there. "What?" said everyone at once. "Let me go and I will stop sending demons after you......as long as I get to take Phang home with me." "Do you still live in the Lands of Chocolate?" "I'm still the Chocolate Demon Master. And I've saved you some chocolate mints. For 'special' occasions." He said and smiled a grin that made everyone else feel sick. Apart from Vamps who was now rolling around the floor holding her sides so that they don't split from laughter. "Deal!" said Phang. Everyone else shrugged. What shall they say? Yes or no? Does Phang go with this demon to chocolate land? Do they let him go and trust him not to send any demons after them? _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author LordoftheNight Revered IFian Joined: 11 Aug 2005 Posts: 5276 Location: Hell Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2006 3:40 pm    Post subject: Firstly - Never trust a daemon.

"ARE YOU BLOODY CRAZY?!?!?!?!" he screamed at her. She smiled and said very simply, "yes." "She's being offered Chocolate Mints........and a Demon Master! we can't stop her from freeing him." said Storm. "True." agreed Vamps. "It's something Phang would do." Sorrow agreed too. "Everyone. Get your weapons ready. I'll agree with the deal but I still don't trust him one hundred percent." IM warned. Vamps held her Trusty Spoon close to her, in one hand, and in the other she had a potion that Storm had given her earlier. Storm got another sword and shield out for jnmrcs and ran through a few spells in her head. Fauna made a few flowers grow and she picked them, reloading her Flower Power adilities. Jnmrcs got ready to run for his life and Sorrow sharpened an arrow and checked his bow. IM came up with a few quick spells and made sure he remembered a few of the old ones as he polished his double bladed sword. Phang however was preparing herself for the time of her life! Chocolate Mint and a Demon Master she thought was sexy. She couldn't even imagine what fun she'd be having tonight! "O.K. Now let him loose." she said trying to hide her exitement. "Here we go." said Storm as she picked up one of the crystals. This broke the pattern and the energetic, white cage crumbled to the floor before it dissapeared completely. Jnmrcs saw that now he could run so he did nothing different. He ran and hid behind Fauna. Storm passed him a sword and shield. Lordy remained where he was while the Demon Master stepped steadily towards Phang. Now that he was aproaching her exitement flooded her from head to toe and she was almost jumping up and down with joy! As he got close to her he took her hand and smiled. "Ready sweety?" "Always am." And with they dissapeared in a poof of smoke that caught fire. Within fifteen seconds there was no sign or trace of them ever being there. Everyone put their weapons away. "What do supose they'll get up to?" asked Sorrow to see everyones reaction. Storm held her head in her hands and rocked backwards and forwards trying to think of images different to the ones that entered her head. "Aaahhh!!!!! I don't think I want to know!" "UURH! I don't want to know either." said Vamps. "Something not suitable for you kiddies." Said Fauna smiling. "Isn't Phang the same age as them?" asked jnmrcs discusted at the thought. IM just giggled imaturely and then started laughing so much he could hardly breathe. Everyone stared at him blankly untill they found some sort of humour in him laughing and then they all started laughing. Storm managed one word while trying to brathe, "looks....like...hahaha...we can't....hahahaha....stay hahaha....sane for......ahahahahahaha!!!....................long....hahahaha!!!" Then while they were laughing they didn't realise that the sun had started to rise and Lordofthenight dissapeard once more just to reapear in a different, dark and unknown location in the City. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author ethereal_fauna Perpetually Distracted Joined: 16 Feb 2005 Posts: 2567 Location: USA Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Mon Apr 10, 2006 1:19 pm    Post subject: I'm sure Phang and her little chocolate coated demon friend were doing something perfectly innocent, like baking cookies or reading nursery rhymes to little children... _________________ The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Back to top Author LordoftheNight Revered IFian Joined: 11 Aug 2005 Posts: 5276 Location: Hell Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Mon Apr 10, 2006 1:19 pm    Post subject: Damnable sun.

After a while when they all managed to stop laughing they realised that it was suddenly day time. "Is there someone missing?" asked Vamps looking around. "I think so....Lordy?" said Storm also looking around. "I think he dissapears in the day time." replied IM. "Day time? Ah great. Wait untill the sun rises properly and I'll be burning!" "At least that's the sign of our Ifyness coming back." said Storm inventing a brand new word. "Want more sun cream?" asked Fauna. "No thanks. But I'll need some shad soon...darkeness might be better." "Follow Lordy." said Sorrow snapping out of a very long moment of silence and thought. "Follow who now?" said Jnmrcs still a bit trembly from being used as bait. "Follow Lordofthenight. He goes to a darker place in the day, he's the Lord of darkness..." "So he'll be in the darkest place in the city." interupted Vamps feeling pleased with her self for being able to figure out the rest of the sentence. "but who's to say he's in the City? He might be in any world of any universe. I heard that recently five new universes have been added to the dimentions of internet." comented Fauna. "But nobody can leave the City unless they sign out. And if they sign out we will know." "How?" asked Jnmrcs. "There's a noise that is made when the data refreshes its self." said Storm then paused to think. "That doesnt help does it?" everyone shook their heads. "We can go down to the reception and check on the 'Who's Online?' board." said Vamps. "Can we use magic?" asked IM in an inocent voice. "O.K." said Fauna. IM thought of what to do...Maybe he could do what he did before to find Key. Once again he went blank faced and collapsed. "Ow." said Storm. "He really needs to remember to lie down before he does that." "No he doesn't." dissagreed Sorrow. "Now he's going to have a huge lump on his head. Any idea how funny that would be?" "Wish my brother collapsed every now and then." IM soon gained an expresion on his face and sat up with a groan. "OW! He's still logged in." "Tracking spell?" suggested Storm. "My head hurts" moaned IM. "Dont look at me all i have is a key ring that glows. Tracking spells for these sorts of things are hard." "I can help." said Vamps. "I could try to tap into his thoughts. Then I could find out where he is." "Why can't IM do what he just did but to find Lordy instead?" asked Fauna. "I tried. But for some reason it didn't work." So Vamps tapped into Lordy thoughts and by following a conversation she soon realised where the demon was. "He's.. Where is he? Where is the Darkest place in the whole City of IF? It can be different dimention, in a building, in a crack of a wall......anywhere. It just has to be in this city that they are all in. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author Chinaren Hallowed IFian Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 8881 Location: https://www.NeilHartleyBooks.com Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Wed Apr 19, 2006 4:58 pm    Post subject: Mmm, I need to think on this one a little. _________________ Neil Hartley Books.

Or the top of the Old Tower of Someone or Other.

NOW!! ...in a dungeon under Keys Palace.....erm..i think he's kind of wearing a thong?" said Vamps. This of course made everyone giggle imaturely. Just the thought of a Demon in thongs! "Erm....I don't mean to spoil your fun. But wasn't there a rule? One concerning the dungeons and thongs as a passwords?" said Sorrow. "Oh yeah." IM stopped laughing. "What?" Storm looked around at everyone suspiciously. "Storm, a few days after you left, there was a new rule added to the city. Any cityzen who wanted to go underground has to have a password or a passaction. For dungeons the passaction is that you have to wear thongs." explained IM. Storm's face was blank. "No trousers." added Vamps. Now, at this point Phang would have done anything to see Storm's expression. But she wasn't there. She was still in chocolate world, with chocolate demons and whatever. "I think I'll wait at the doors for you." she said to the whole group." "If she's allowed to drop out, so am I." "And me!" "Me too!" Fauna looked at everyone wierdly. "You load of wimps! It's only thongs!" "Fine but I'm going invisible." "I'll wear a cloud!" "I'll be a bat!" "I have a keyring!" said Sorrow with sarcastic joy. "A powerfull one!" added IM. "Don't diss the keyring." "I miss my coke." complained Sorrow. "We'll get it back don't worry. They've got my blue shinys from the special shiny show hidden with your coke bottles! We will get them back." said Storm suddenly. "That reminds me. They have my favourite sword too!" said IM. "They best not have mine! I'll kill them!" "BACK TO THE POINT PLEASE!" yelled Jnmrcs just as Fauna was about to add her complaint. "They wont let us in unless we are wearing thongs that they can see." he continued. "Who?" asked Storm shocked. "The little goblin barbie thingies." Sorrow took over. "The whatty Mc what whats now?" Fauna rolled her eyes. "Look. The thing is unless the guards at the doors cant see us in thongs they wont let us though." "Thongs it is then!" said Vamps and they set off to find some thongs.....from some place or other... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~ The group had now found some thongs. "I still don't understand why Smee had a collection of these." "Yeah.....they're pink!" said Vamps with discust. They arrived at Key Palace gates and turned towards the allyway not far off. They came to a little door. Jnmrcs knocked on it. An eye popped through a hatch that was not there a minute ago. "Hellohohohoho." "Hello. We would like to pop in pleasehoho." Good job Jnmrcs spoke their language. "Youhoho wearho thongs? hoho" "Yesho hohohohohoho." The door opened and the group walked in. They followed Jnmrcs and Fauna straight down the tunnel. Vamps could hear Lordy talking. And everyone could hear Storm complaining. "Dirty pervs. I mean come on! why thongs? bras over jumpers, knickers over trousers then yeah. We'd at least be able to call our selves Supper Man!" "I'm not liking this." "Shut up back there! I'm wearing pink! You cant get worse!" said Vamps. "I'm wearing a brighter pink than you though." complained IM. Storm couldn't help but giggle. "I dont see what all the fuss is about. It's only thongs!" Fauna rolled her eyes. "When can we take them off? Blue isn't my favourite colour." asked Sorrow. "You shouldn't have picked it then should you? Next time let me have the blue ones and you can have the orange ones!" huffed Storm "We will take them off soon." said Jnmrcs. "And what will we wear if we take the thongs off?" Vamps pointed out a very sereous problem. "That's why you have me here, Vamps. To think like Marge Simpson." "What?" "I brought some spare skirts I found." "What about us?" asked IM. "Yep! Skirtys for all!" laughed Storm. "Thanks." They had no time for any more discussion about their beautifull thongs or what they would wear later because they had just walked into a cave. A large, poorly lighten, slime covered, whole in the ground where Lordy was skipping around like a three year old in his spotty pink and green thongs.

Everyone knew who this other person was but Storm and Vamps had actually come across him before and lived to tell the tale. At the end of the cave a man leaned against the wall. He grinned at the new-comers with a grin so evil they all cringed. “Can we go now? Go. Please let’s go.” Said Vamps. “I’ll agree.” Storm was about to turn and run. “No. We have to stay. We have to see why we were sent here nipple head.” Said Jnmrcs. “Who is that guy?” asked Sorrow. “I don’t seem to remember him from anywhere. But the grin….It reminds me of a nightmare I had once.” “Probably was in your nightmare. He’s the Nightmare Demon.” Explained IM. “The nightmare demon?” asked fauna. “There’s only one. But he’s powerful enough to plant terror into anyone.” Said Storm. Lordy stopped his dancing and turned to face his guests. “Welcome to the darkest place of the city!” He said and opened his arms in a welcoming fashion. “Don’t do that.” Commented Sorrow. “You look like you need a hug.” The Demon at the end of the cave turned and exited out of a door in the wall of the cave. Everyone sighed with relief. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Phang sneaked up behind the group of IFians. She had been giggling all the way at their little rants about thongs. She found it even funnier since she got in the dungeons without having to wear thongs. Behind her was a beast. The beast was stupid. That was the only way she could describe it. She had to be careful with it though. She went over the description of the beast in her head. She repeated it so many times it was imprinted in the back of her mind. Daft as a hairbrush, the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is arguably the most insanely idiotically dense creature in existence. It believes that if you can't see it, it can't see you. Therefore, if you are faced by the horrid (yes, horrid, in spite of its intelligence, or lack of) Beast you should wrap your towel around your head (you do have one, don't you!?) to TEMPORARILY ward off the Beast's voracious appetite and furious... fury... sorry. Yes, temporarily. The Beast WILL eventually realize its mistake and find you. Also, for further confusion on the Beast's part, you may scratch your name somewhere. To that we will come. In vanity or for poor memory's sake, each Beast keeps a record of its killings and eatings. This list is usually in an ante-room from the main chamber, and therefore easily accessible. This list is easily accessible and defacable, to which we are, by degrees, coming. It is easily defacable by the many rocks strewn about the lair floor invariably favoured by Beasts of Traal. Which is terribly convenient, Traal being a very rocky planet. Whilst being concealed with in your towel, grab a handy rock and scratch your name into the list. The Beast will now think it has already eaten you, giving you more time to escape. Note that no one has actually PROVED this first-hand, and neither the Guide nor any of its researchers (especially myself) take any responsibility for any personal injury sustained during the execution of the above tactics, and be warned you take this advice at your own risk. She had to remember this. As well as hope that the Beast was trained well enough to stay loyal to her. the amount of times I’ve read that! Now she had to be very quiet as she neared the cave and got closer to the thong-wearing group. All she had to do was wait for Lordy’s signal. He better give me my reward for this! _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Last edited by tramp in a storm on Sat May 27, 2006 3:06 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

Suddenly a loud, painfull noise was heard that made everybody cover their ears. It was like a bird screaching. This was the signal! Phang leaped up to her demonic feet and dragged the Beast into the cave where she pulled of the necklace from around its neck. Now it was free. She ran out of the cave, someway down the tunnel and leaped up to hang from the ceiling. She should be safe here and she found some sort of humour in clinging from the ceiling for her life. IM turned around first to see the beast towering over him. "Cover your eyes!" yelled Vamps. He did and the beast started to look around for him. Storm took him by the shoulders and hid him behind a rock just as the Beast realised it's mistake. If they can't see you you can still see them!!! How many times had it fallen for that? IM and Storm stayed hidden. Vamps turned into a bat and tried to fly away. But there was nowhere to fly to. Fauna threw flowers at the Beast and it swiped them away angrily as they started to burn it. Jnmrcs tried to confuse it with a bit of Spanish. And what do you know? It actually worked! He sat on the floor with the Beast and tried to teach it Spannish! The stupid plonka actually tried pronouncing Spanish words! But for how long could he keep this up for? Sorrow ran to IM and Storm and hid with them. "What are you doing?" complained IM. "We can't all fit in one hiding place. Your head is showing." "I don't care. We need a plan of action and fast." he replied. "Ok. Ok. just find another rock to hide behind!" "There's one over there." Said Storm pointing to one just a few feet away. "When did that get there?" Sorrow asked. "Who knows? who cares? just go!" said Storm as the Beast was turning and almost saw Sorrow's head sticking out from behind the rock. He managed to slide behind the next rock just in time. "So what's the plan?" yelled Vamps from above them. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author jnmrcs Builder Joined: 30 Apr 2005 Posts: 1274 Location: Puerto Rico, Soy Boricua pa' q tu lo sepas...

But now thinking time was running out as the Beast stood and sniffed the air. It had got bored of the Spanish lesson as it could not get a single word right. "Sit back down young man! Class is not over yet!" Jnmrcs tried to distract the thing but failed. The Beast turned to him though, and just as Jnmrcs thought he had it, the thing lashed out at him and scratched his leg as he attempted to jump out of the way. Jnmrcs yelled in pain and stood to his feet. He ran and stood next to fauna. “Got a plan?” he asked but fauna shook her head. “I’m thinking…” she said and trailed off into thought. “This rock smells strange.” Complained Sorrow. “So does this one.” Replied Storm. “This isn’t what rocks smell like is it?” she asked turning her head to face IM. But he was gone. She jumped back and screamed. A sinking feeling in her gut. Everyone turned to see where the scream came from. But by that time Storm was nowhere to be seen. Sorrow jumped back, away from his rock. ‘What the…?’ he thought. He turned to where IM and Storm had been. “Come on you two! This isn’t funny!” But there was no reply. It was hard to believe that they were gone. One second they were there the next they were gone! “Storm!” screamed Vamps. But still, no reply. “OI! BUM FACE!” she screamed hoping that the lack of reply was just because they could not heard her. “Don’t call me bum face!” Storms voice was heard and they looked around to see where it came from. “In here you twonk!” she laughed. “In the stupid stone of wonders!” “Is IM in there too?” Sorrow was confused. “Well I didn’t just disappear now did I? This stupid rock swallowed us.” “It’s pretty in here.” Commented Storm. “Storm!” yelled IM in disbelief. “What?” she asked innocently. “It’s gray and miserable!” The rest of the group looked at each other with confused looks on their faces. What on Earth was this all about? “Sorrow?” whispered Vamps noticing that he was gone too now. “Storm! IM! Sorrow has disappeared!” she yelled. “What?” they asked in unison. “Sorry!” came a voice from the other rock. “I seem to have gotten myself swallowed by a smelly rock!” Fauna rolled her eyes. “Kids.” She tutted. “Always the ones in trouble.” “Can you get us out now please?” “Noh.” A low gurgling voice said. “Who was that?” called Storm. “blurblatter blast glur noh.!” Said the Beast. “Er…guys? The beast thingy is making weird sounds!” called Vamps. It looked at Fauna and Jnmrcs and lunged at them. Fauna screamed and they ran in opposite directions. Vamps flew closer to the ceiling, screaming. “OW!” yelled Sorrow. “What’s that noise?” Storm rolled her eyes from within the rock. “It’s Vamps screaming!” she called when the screaming stopped. Vamps looked around confused when she heard her name. “What?” “Er…Nothing Vamps! It doesn’t matter.” Said Sorrow hurriedly. Jnmrcs ran out of the cave and Fauna found herself trapped at the other end of the rocky room. She turned to face the Beast with terror in her eyes. Vamps tried to find something to scratch out Faunas name from the rock. Storm, IM and Sorrow guessed what was happening when they heard fauna scream. They tried to climb out of the rocks they were trapped in but it was hopeless. Vamps gave up her search and turned to her usual form. She ran to faunas aid with what she thought was the great speed of a vampire (flitting). But the changing of the worlds sanity and normality was against them. The three were spat out of their rocks and Vamps’ powers were failing. Storm thought quick and tried her lighting bolts, but her powers were also failing. Sorrow shot an arrow and IM tried a beam of magic which failed. Sorrows Arrow impaled its self into the beast knocking it to the ground. Dead. They all ran to faunas aid at once but found that they were too late. Vamps stared in disbelief. Storm gave out a short cry, IM put his arm around her. Sorrow tried her pulse and lowered his eyes as he found none. Jnmrcs had no idea of what had happened as he was, by now, out of the underground tunnels. Phang let go of the ceiling as her instinct told her that she was safe. And she too made her way out of the dark, damp maze. She had heard faunas scream and the beasts. There was no need to be here now. She might see the group again if they succed in solving this twisted mystery. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author The White Blacksmith Elder Joined: 02 Apr 2006 Posts: 2629 Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Mon Jul 03, 2006 6:14 am    Post subject: Just caught up with this, can't believe you don't know what the Vicious BugBlatter Beast of Traal is!

There was nothing they could do now. Fauna was dead just like the others. There was only one thing that kept their hopes of a happy ending going. And that was that they had to find the darkest place in the city. This cave wasn’t very dark…..but there was a tunnel leading somewhere else. And so the four started towards it. Storm was trying hard to fight back her tears. Vamps, IM and Sorrow had seen worse. But they were upset to lose Fauna. That was one less person to write graphic stories that made them cringe and go eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww! Or laugh immaturely. “Wasn’t there supposed to be another demon? The one of nightmares, was it?” asked Sorrow. Storm nodded. She hadn’t forgotten. How could someone forget after having done to them what that monster did? Using peoples worst nightmares to kill them. They plunged into darkness. Storm held onto IM. “Are you ok?” he asked. “I’ll be fine.” “I can see.” Said Vamps smiling. “Well, I can hear anyway.” She laughed. “OW!” yelled Sorrow. “By the way, Sorrow?” said Storm. “What?” he rubbed his sore nose. “I think there’s a wall there.” She laughed. “There sure is. A metal one too by, the sounds of it.” Vamps made weird, high pitched noises like bats do so that they can ‘see’. “OW! Vamps! That hurts!” moaned Storm. She was beginning to forget about Fauna, the demon and the dark for now, but she still wouldn’t let go of IM’s arm. “Did you just say that there is a metal wall here?” asked IM. “Yes.” Storm remained silent and clinged to IM’s arm even tighter. “How long is it?” asked Sorrow, considering the situation. “I think that the whole tunnel is made out of metal.” Said Vamps. “Then lets keep walking.” Suggested IM and they stepped forward. As they walked, careful to not bang into a wall, Storm realised that she had let go of IM. “IM?” she whispered. “Yes?” came his voice from right next to her. She reached out for his arm and grabbed it as soon as she found it in the dark. “Don’t leave me.” She said and smiled a smile invisible in the blackness. “I won’t. Don’t worry…Don’t worry a bit.” His voice was slightly different. Storm realised that straight away. She let go of his arm, but carried on walking. “Are you ok?” he said, the words he used before coming out as if recorded and relayed. “Yes.” She answered thoughtfully. “What’s up you two?” asked Sorrow, also realising a change in his brother. “Hold my hand.” Said the voice to Storm and took her hand. She pulled it away with a scream as the slimy flesh type thing touched her skin. Vamps, who was walking in front, turned to see what all the fuss was about. There she saw a tall, red demon with spiders pouring out of it’s mouth. The long, thin legged creatures covered her in a flash as she stood there, literally petrified. Sorrow produced a torch out of his pocket. “Strange. Didn’t know I had one of these with me.” He said. But when he turned it on he saw something so shocking… He fell to the floor screaming, waving hand s and feet. “Get off me! Get off me!” Storm looked around confused, not seeing anything in the darkness but only hearing the sounds of pain and torture. Then images started to flash through her head. Images of death. Blood and guts everywhere. She stumbled backwards until she hit a metal wall. She tried to concentrate on the pictures. There was a person…but who? Then faces! Her face! Her death? Tears. Who’s tears? Her tears. IM’s face, smiling. Blood. IM’s face. Blood. IM’s face. Guts. IM’s face…the same images all over again, coming and going quicker and quicker. She fell to the floor, held her head tightly with agony. “Not real. None of this is real.” She told herself. But the images kept coming. “Storm! Vamps!” yelled Sorrow, now, slowly returning to reality. “It’s the Nightmare Demon! It’s just an illusion! Whatever you see is just an illusion!” He had now recovered but was still shivering slightly. Vamps was slowly recovering, thinking hard, trying to force herself back to reality. It all seemed so real. But Storm still sat on the floor, holding her head in her hands, screaming. “IM! Don’t die! No! Stop! Leave him alone! Get away from him! Let me go! Vamps, let me go! I have to help him!” her screams faded to whispers then she started to weep. “No! no. no. no. no. no. please no!” In a panic, Sorrow followed the sounds of her torture to get to her. He knelt down beside her and shook her violently by the shoulders. “For fuck’s sake, Storm! Snap out of it!” he bellowed and slapped her around the face as hard as he could. Storm flew a little way across the floor. Her screaming ceased. Then turned into a quiet sobbing. Then the sobbing got louder, heavier. Then it stopped. Vamps had now recovered from her arachnophobic illusion and she came over to Storm and Sorrow. “Is she alright?” she asked him. “I don’t know. I can’t see.” Vamps looked over to where Storm sat, holding her knees rocking backwards and forwards slowly. Her cheeks were stained with tears, her eyes directed towards Vamps, yet looking straight through her and at the same time looking at thin air in the thickest, blackest dark in front of her. “Storm?” said Vamps in a crackling whisper. “How is she?” asked Sorrow. “She’s…she’s rocking backwards and forwards staring into space.” “Oh.” “Where’s IM?” Vamps looked around, suddenly realising that he wasn’t there. “He’s…”Storm chocked out the final word, “dead.” and resumed her isolation. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author Phang Elder Joined: 19 Sep 2004 Posts: 2160 Location: Phang's House of Mints Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 12:19 pm    Post subject: Oooh.

Storm walked a few steps behind Vamps and Sorrow, not saying a single word. Sorrow kept to the front, trying to make himself believe that his brother was not dead, while trying to stay alert so that he doesn’t get attacked. Vamps walked between the two, wondering why she was doing this and more importantly, what the hell was she doing? They had searched the Caves, the Dungeons and even Keys very badly guarded Palace. But they found nothing to help them solve this mystery. So far it seemed as if the City of IF had swapped places with the City of NF, or rather the citizens were somehow moved from one city to another and then forced to live by the other cities rules. NF and IF were two almost completely identical cities, with just a few differences. One of these was that NF stood for Normal Fable and was basically a normal, pretty much sane City-the exact opposite to IF. The letters IF were said to originally stand for Inter Fable. It was later thought that they could also stand for anything from Inverted Flapjack to Insane Fable. “Can’t we just sneak out through the gates and run down the road until we get to IF?” Asked Sorrow, getting tired. “Yeah…Why didn’t we think of that before?” Vamps turned to Storm. They stopped outside Muaddib’s Drink Shop. Sorrow stared at the Vanilla Coke bottles that called to him. “Because the whole city is inside a barrier.” Storm answered. “What, like a force field?” asked Sorrow? “Bloody force-fields!” moaned Vamps. “Yes. But this one is much more powerful. I can almost see it glowing just outside the gates.” “Well, let it glow all it likes. I’m tired.” Vamps, complained. “Lets brake into this lovely shop where we can rest and get a drink, all at once!” suggested Sorrow, hope rising up inside him. “No!” yelled Vamps. “We already said this like a hundred times: You will set the alarms off! Why don’t we go to IM’s house? I mean…he might still be OK. Doesn’t he have shadow clone type thingies of himself everywhere?” “One: No, because he was not allowed to use magic. Even if he tried to make an illusion and replace himself with it, it probably would not have worked because his powers were unpractised. Two: the traps in his mansion will be reactivated and we will lose our heads.” Replied Storm. “We could dodge.” Suggested Vamps. Sorrow shook his head. “That last witch didn’t. I heard she was killed and nobody ever went near his house apart from Storm.” “That’s right. Alice was probably as powerful as him, but she could not dodge the traps.” “So where are we going to sleep?” asked Vamps. Storm looked towards the hill near the river. “I’m going up there.” She said and started towards it. Sorrow and Vamps stared at her for a moment and then followed, slowly behind her. The sky turned, suddenly darker and a wind started to pick up. “Storm? Is that you?” “Yes.” They arrived at the foot of the hill. They climbed it and collapsed at the top from exhaustion. All three dreamed peacefully out in the open, at the top of the hill. The wind did not stop and the sky did not clear. When the sun rose, it was not visible for the gloomy clouds it the way and rain started to drip from them as the wind got stronger. The three slept, while a pair of eyes watched, waited for the right moment to approach. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author The White Blacksmith Elder Joined: 02 Apr 2006 Posts: 2629 Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2006 10:21 am    Post subject: Ooh! Now, here's a question (I know that it's from chappy 27, but storm writes too quickly). What would the rest of us see if we were attacked by the nightmare demon? For me? Standing in mid-air, high up, facing down. Being able to see everything on the ground, and falling, but never hitting the ground. I could not cope with that at all. _________________ Tea Cures All.

He looked over at Storm and then at Vamps, who were still sleeping. Storm had her eyes open… Sorrow laughed because he found it funny when people slept with their eyes open. But then he realised that her eyes were blue. And he knew for sure than when Storm’s eyes were a cloudy blue, showing no white, she was using storm controlling magic. “Controlling storms in her sleep?” he whispered and looked at the sky. It was now raining more heavily and the wind was getting stronger. “hhhmmm…life threatening… Cool!” Then a figure rose from the bushes nearby. Sorrow stared at him, and then spoke. “Jnmrcs! Where have you been?” “Wake her up you idiot!” he yelled and woke Storm up. “I was planning on doing that.” said Sorrow. Storm opened her eyes and when she realised that she had created bad weather she shot up screaming. “Aaaaaargh! Why didn’t anybody wake me up earlier?” The noise woke Vamps up. “What’s going on? Storm! What’s it raining for you retard!” “Shut up Vamps! It’s not my fault!” “Erm… Jnmrcs? I’d really appreciate it if you stopped staring at me like that.” said Sorrow semi-nervously. But Jnmrcs just grinned even wider. Vamps burst out into laughter. “That looks so wrong! Stop it, Jnmrcs!” Storm smiled. “Jnmrcs loves Sorrow!” she sung. Jnmrcs glared at them and a wave of evil that washed over them whipped their smiles of their faces. Jnmrcs produced a gun from his pocket and without looking he shot Sorrow. Vamps and Storm screamed. Sorrow fell to the floor. He didn’t have a chance to try and defend himself with the key ring. The key ring glew and then dulled. Then it slowly disappeared into thin air. Storm and Vamps looked on in horror. That was two people that Storm had witnessed dying in such a way. She collapsed to the floor. Vamps tried to help her up. “Are you ok?” Storm looked Jnmrcs in the eyes. She saw a good person who had just killed a friend. He saw a friend who was full of anger and had the intention of killing or at least maiming really badly. He saw her eyes turn into a cloudy blue colour. He gasped and tried to raise his gun. A bolt of lightning shot down from the vicious clouds and he pulled the trigger at the same time. Small chapter, I know. So then, who dies? not many options so I'll put up the poll. Also when the poll ends we can then dicide on what Vamps will do. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author Vampireidiot Respected Citizen Joined: 02 Apr 2005 Posts: 932 Location: You don't want to know Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 3:56 am    Post subject: lol, your right it was small, but ah well death and evilness was in it so all is good!

The bullet flew through the air, heading straight for Storm. Sorrow stood, unable to move, his feet rooted to the ground. A pair of Vampire eyes saw the bullet move. With great, flitting speed she sprang forward. The bullet hit her in the side. Vamps flew to the floor. Blood spurted onto Storms clothing and face. Then, it was all over. The sky cleared. Jnmrcs stood and ran. The lightning had not been powerful enough. Storm collapsed on her knees next to her best friend. She trembled, whipped off some blood from her face. Sorrow came and sat next to her. “She died for me.” She stuttered after some time. “Don’t blame yourself.” Sorrow replied. “Why? Why for me?” “She was a good friend. Now come on. We have to go.” Sorrow helped Storm to get up. “I can’t leave her here.” She said just as Sorrow turned away. “You have to.” There was a pause. “You can come back for her later.” Storm followed Sorrow down the hill. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ A few hours later. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* “Damn those lightning bolts!” cursed Storm. “Storm! Shut up a minute!” “Sorry.” She whispered. “Someone is following us.” Sorrow noted after a silent moment. “What?” “They aren’t too far behind us.” “They? How many?” Storm turned to look. “Don’t look!” Sorrow snapped. “I don’t know how many, I’m not psychic, am I?” “Sorry.” Said Storm, sarcastically. “Through here.” Sorrow pulled at her sleeve and they turned into a street that looked identical to Muaddib’s street. But it wasn’t. They stopped and stared down the long, empty street. “What happened here? Isn’t this muddy’s street?” asked Storm. “Yes. We were here not long ago. Where did my vanilla coke shop go?” “Everything is turning back to how it should be.” Came a voice from behind them. Storm turned sharply. She recognised the voice before she had even seen the speaker. A blue film covered her eyes and the sky was covered by thick black clouds. A sudden rain began to fall. Raindrops crashed on the ground all around them. Within seconds, everyone was drenched through. Jnmrcs held up a gun. “Two cities.” He began. “Get away from us!” Storms scream interrupted. Yet Jnmrcs continued. “One normal, NF, one completely insane, IF. However we have an unbalance, haven’t we? Too much sanity in one city, and too much insanity in the other. The sane ones need some fun in their lives. The insane ones need to get a bit more serious. So what happens? What happens, eh?” He shook his gun. The sky cleared. Storm tried to bring the clouds back, but nothing would work. “They swap. They swap over. A natural swap over occurs when nature gets unbalanced. Nature will change when it is not happy. And there is only one way to change it back. Make it unhappy with the current change and fix what was wrong in the first place. How do I do that? Eh? Storm? Sorrow? Either of you know? I take away the magic from IF. I take away some of the insanity. As well as kill some of the far too ‘normal’ people from NF.” “Find the Queen of NF.” Whispered Storm to Sorrow. “Use the key ring. And take this.” Storm handed him a spoon. “This was Vamps’” he commented. “Yep. She gave it me to hold for her because she had no pocket.” “What good is a sp-” “Just go. Now.” She hurried him. Sorrow snuck away and Storm was left with Jnmrcs. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author tramp in a storm Honored Citizen Joined: 11 Apr 2005 Posts: 1585 Location: You never know...I could be in YOUR dust bin.

But, does Jnmrcs see Sorrow sneaking away and shoot him, does Sorrow get away and Storm gets shot, or does he shoot both of them? I'll let you disguss it, comment, try to persuade people otherwise or whatever and I'll put the new poll some time later. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author Masterweaver Honored Citizen Joined: 21 Nov 2006 Posts: 1463 Location: Look around Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2006 7:12 pm    Post subject: Have you read Pratchett's Reaper Man?

She would have stared at him in the eyes threateningly if she could see him clearly enough. Sorrow ran as fast as he could. Once he had turned a few corners he crouched down by a wall and took out the spoon and key-ring. He held them, one in each hand and wondered what to do with them. He closed his eyes and thought of the Queen of NF. He knew what she looked like because he had meat her once. The key-ring glowed brightly in the empty night and the spoon started to stir in his hand. Sorrow loosened his grip on the spoon and it flew up into the air. The key-ring was now shining enough to light a little way ahead of him so that he could follow the spoon. After a few moments he wondered if this was working and how much time he had. When he turned the next corner, as if in answer he heard a gunshot in the distance. Then the sky rumbled, rain fell, angry clouds gathered and the sudden wind threatened to blow him away. So answer 2 was not very long. And for answer 1 he saw a large house in front of him which clearly belonged to a very rich person. Sorrow could feel the magic draining from the city and he realised where he was supposed to be. This is where IM’s mansion was located in the City of IF. However this was not his brother’s mansion. This was definitely the home of NF Royalty. He approached the building. When he reached the door he was shocked to find that it opened immediately. He stepped in cautiously as a butler welcomed him. “I am here to speak with her majesty the Queen of Normal Fable.” Announced Sorrow. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Jnmrcs had done enough. He would never catch up with Sorrow now. Anyway, now that IM and Storm were dead there was no way that Sorrow’s key-ring would work. And with Vamps gone to Vampire Heaven there would be no way that the stupid spoon o’doom would even be good enough for one to eat his Cheereos in the morning. Now the two cities would swap over. Maybe a few people will remain in the wrong city depending on different things. Jnmrcs sat down in the middle of the street and closed his eyes. He waited. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Sorrow awoke to a blinding light shining through the open curtains. He sat up in bed and rubbed his head confused. He looked around the room and blinked a few times before he realised where he was. A maid entered the room and offered him a tray with a bowl of cereal, sugar and a glass of water. “What? No. No. No. No. No. No.” He said and pushed the tray away. The maid left it by his bed and walked out feeling quite offended. Sorrow jumped out of bed and searched for his key-ring and spoon. But he could not find them. After a few minutes he found them both in the bin, on the other side of his room. He quickly put them in his pocket and ran out of the room to find the Queen. He couldn’t stay here. He couldn’t work for her. Why should he? Why would he? Why would he ever work for anybody? This was just not on. First she makes an unbelievable proposal and then she drugs him to sleep. After that she offers him luxury to try and persuade him. If he wanted all of this luxury he would have killed her years ago and kept the whole thing, servants and everything. He found the Queen in the dining room. She was sitting by herself at the end chair of a large oak table. “Which way to the exit?” he shouted at her. “There is no exit anymore. The cities have swapped over. Everything is back to normal now. You decided to stay with me and now you will. Until of course you either find a way out or your friends come and rescue you. Oh wait, did that idiot kill them all? No. He killed some but some were killed by you as well, right? Well then, looks like there is nobody to rescue you. So that leaves you with the first option.” Sorrow glared at her with hatred. He would pretend to be nice for now. Surely she would have a meeting with Key at some point, now that everything is over. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Jnmrcs woke up to the sound of a croak. He opened his eyes and found himself in the middle of the same street. Apart from there was no Storm. The croak came from a crunchy looking frog woman. “Wake up Jnmrcs. Why are you asleep in the street?” Jnmrcs stood up and looked around. The streets were no longer empty. He grinned. He had one last task to complete. “Stop that Jnmrcs. Your grin looks evil.” Croaked Crunchy Frog. Jnmrcs looked at her with an expression that clearly said “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you.” Then he walked away and headed straight for Key’s Palace. He soon arrived and was sat around a large oak table with the King next to him, drinking tea. “So then, old chap. It looks like you’ve solved everything. However there has been no sign of the rest of the adventures yet.” commented Key. “The ones remaining are on their way back your highness.” Replied Jnmrcs with respect. “Call me Key.” “The Key.” Repeated Jnmrcs. Evil hung heavily in his voice. “I like the sound of that. The key to what though? The key to the story. They key of…” The king thought of more mottos for himself. “The Key to my richness.” Answered Jnmrcs. He pulled out a gun. This one was very different to the last one. It was a lot bigger and looked more dangerous. “If you die I get your money because that’s what you wrote in you will.” “No it isn’t.” protested Key. “It is now. I changed it.” Jnmrc’s finger tightened on the trigger. But instead of a bullet, water squirted out and soaked key through to the bone. “AAAAAHHHHH!!!! HELP!!!!! I’M WET!!” screamed Key. “What the hell are you doing?” “Damn it! What happened?” yelled Jnmrcs. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author jnmrcs Builder Joined: 30 Apr 2005 Posts: 1274 Location: Puerto Rico, Soy Boricua pa' q tu lo sepas...

Water had leaked from the barel of the gun and trickled down his arm, causing purple sparkles to rise into the air and one by one dissapear. Jnmrcs blinked. He stared at the King. "What happened?" "You shot me! you shot me with water!!" "This isn't water..." Jnmrcs said looking at the King's face and then his own arm, which were begining to make a sizzling noise and producing smoke. "This is..." Jnmrcs looked at the effects with confusion in his eyes. "Is this..." the King started, "is this ACID?!" he yelled! "Erm..." Jnmrcs nodded. "It looks like it sire." Suddenly, the world around them began to shift. The stone walls of King Key's Palace rippled and the air grew hotter, the colder. Thing began to float around the room. The King slowly faded, soon to be followed by the floating, fading objects in the room, and then by the rippling walls, which silently collapsed on each other. Jnmrcs held his head with his free hand, but then dropped the gun and used his other hand to try and regain his balance. But to not affect. He stumbled around what was once a room of a Palace and then he fell to the floor. Then - Black. Jnmrcs slowly opened his eyes. His vision was blury, so he closed them again. Some time later, he regained conciousness and blinked to clear his vision. He looked around. Where was he? He sat up. "Jnmrcs?" a familiar voice said. He turned to find Etherial Fauna, staring at him, holding a wet cloth in her hand and some bandages which lay next to her. "Oi! Jen!" He turned to his left to find a Tramp waving a hand infront of his face. "You with us?" she asked. He blinked. "Wha-wh-what? What happened?" Jnmrcs held his aching head. "Dude, you passed out." He turned to his right to see a vampire. "Vamps?" he said. "Storm? Fauna?" He looked further along the street he was lying in and saw the rest of the group, leaning over a map on the floor. "No he did not!" Storm said acusingly to Vamps. "You knocked him out!" "No I didn't! It was that stuff that he drank!" "You gave it him!" "I didn't poison it though!" "You know, the Queen could have easily used magic on that drink without us knowing." IM came over from the map and tried to stop the two from fighting. "Yeah! So don't blame me!" Vamps stuck her tongue out at Storm. "You're alive! all of you! you're all alive and well! where are we!?" Jnmrcs screamed! "Well, we just set off to find out what the hell is going on." "But we did all that." Jnmrcs explained. "You" he said pointing at IM "And you" he pointed to storm, then to fauna and Vamps "And you two. And them" he pointed to the others who were still looking at the map. "You all died. Smee was killed by dictionaries, Chinaren was burned by money and then the flames started dance-" "What are you on about, silly?" Fauna laughed. "We've not even started our adventure yet." "I hope that wasn't a premonision or anything..." Storm looked around uneasily. "I hope not too." Vamps agreed. "Well, we better get going." Smee rose from the map as Chinaren packed it away and the rest of the group picked up their weapons and gathered around Jnmrcs. "You alright to stand?" Sorrow asked. "y-yes." Jnmrcs stood, he was very confused. "I think our first move should be to find Key." Chinaren sugested. "No! Not Key! he's- oh wait... all a dream right?" Jnmrcs said. "Yes, Jnmrcs. It was aaaalll just.... a dream. or was it?" Phang smiled. _________________ Did you know: If you plug speakers into your ears, your thoughts will be heard out loud Back to top Author Chinaren Hallowed IFian Joined: 05 Sep 2005 Posts: 8881 Location: https://www.NeilHartleyBooks.com Items Legends Fables Strata-gems Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2008 4:49 pm    Post subject: Hurrah!
