I think it'd be quite a bit difficult to find enough players during non-event times. Most users tend to retreat to their few subscribed threads as soon as the event ends and rarely venture out to find new things, so these sorts of things tend to get ignored. :sweat: And I'm not sure that I could come up with that many stories. But barring anything bad happening, I'll be doing this again at the next event. :)
Time for the... drumroll, please... FINAL ROLL! I'm going to have to skip Saravi Boo, I'm afraid, as the suggestion wasn't complete.
lydia1020 is 1, NeuzaKC is 2, Liztress is 3, jessieomer is 4
The 4-sided dice lands on 1
Last story update to follow shortly!

Remember that wad of lint, earplugs, and rubber band you'd been carrying around in your pockets? Well they're coming into use now. Along with a sticky zippy bag (from your kettlecorn), some bits of your parachute and a few things you found on the roof, you manage to slap together a weapon. You're pretty boss that way.
You grab the lasery glass cutter thingy and cut a perfect circle out of the glass and set that aside. Yeah, a perfect circle. Like I said, you're pretty boss today. You secure the rope around your waist and Cessy lowers you in with the winch.
"...epare to die!" You catch a bit of what the hooded figure is saying as you're lowered into the room. Hm, if only you'd heard that full sentence. There's just no way you can know what s/he was going to say. It must remain a mystery, as now it's time to take down that shiny-stealing fiend with your awesome weapon. You whip it out of your pocket and take aim. What, now you want to know what this weapon is? Use your imagination, okay?
Inso notices you lowering into his living room and again drops his drink on his laptop in surprise. Poor laptop... You should buy him a new one after you buy Menewsha out from under him. Reacting to Insomniac, the hooded figure looks up and sees you. Who is it? Gah, you can't see inside the hood. It's all dark and shadowy, even though s/he's looking up at a giant skylight. Your life is becoming more and more like a cartoon with every second...
You deploy/swing/fire/drop your weapon thing right at/on his/her face. Kablooey! Or shing, or splat, or bam or whatever it is your weapon does. Don't ask me. Your shiny goes flying up into the air and you deftly catch it.
Like a boss.
"My hero!" Insomniac says before running over to kiss you on the cheek. Okay then.
...
"And now on behalf of all Menewsha, I would like to thank..." Mr. Mayor says before the crowd. "I'm sorry, what was your name again?"
"Acobzeelizdiahowneustarjessckseidiaveboo," you say. Why can no one ever remember that?
"Yes, on behalf of the Menewshan population, I would like to thank... you for defeating the bandit and returning the treasure to its rightful place!" Mr. Mayor says, placing a medal around your neck as the crowd cheers. What, have you forgotten what's happened already? Okay, it's been a pretty big day, I'll remind you.
Your shiny turned out to be an ancient magical artifact of Menewsha. Once on proud (and well-protected!) display in the museum, it was recently stolen. Abel, being quite magical himself, was enlisted to help find it.While visiting the boardwalk he sensed its presence and began chasing the hooded figure, who had it. The thief dove off the end of the boardwalk. Abel leaped in after him and gave chase, but was not as fast of a swimmer as the thief, who had unknowingly dropped his stolen treasure.
A few days later you came along and found the treasure, as I'm sure you know. But you weren't alone! Well, that goes without saying since you were on a crowded boardwalk during a fair, but you were
less alone than you even thought! The hooded figure was nearby and snatched the treasure right from your pocket while you were busy eating kettlecorn on your way over to see Jeryck. The thief's plan was to harness the ancient jewel's magical powers to defeat Insomniac and take control of Menewsha. Probably descending the island into darkness and evil or some such thing.
After taking the gem from you, the thief hightailed it back to his evil lair to make sure he had everything in order. Meanwhile, you interrogated the innocent inhabitants of Menewsha. After everything was completed, the evil personthing began his/her evil trek to Insomniac's not-very-evil-at-all lair, but s/he ran into Cherry Flavored Antacid, who you had recently sent up to the very same destination. Cherry mentioned that she had never seen him/her around before, but before she could so much as look as look for the person's history on her clipboard, s/he sntached Cherry up, causing her ice cream cone to go flying over the fence around Insomniac's fortess and into the moat. The thief then took Cherry back to his evil lair, buying you some valuable time, which you wisely spent on a helicopter ride.
After the thief was knocked unconscious from the wounds you caused s/he was hauled off to the Menewsha jail. The next day a crowd gathered to watch the thief's bannination. S/he was lead up onto a platform where jellysundae waited with a gigantic hammer. With a mighty swing, the hammer hit the thief and sent him flying off, landing in the ocean to swim to some other island.'
Any of that ringing a bell? Because you've been kind of daydreaming for a bit now, you might want to pay attention to what's going on. Right. You're on a nice little stage where Mr. Mayor has just thanked you for saving the day with a medal. You wanted a new adventure and you certainly received. And you know what? This medal is even shinier than that gem.
Thanks for playing, everyone!
