You find yourselves on-board a Percival P.66 Pembroke with a splitting headache you were on the ground and all you remembered was a sharp pain in the back of your head and the blackness.

This is pretty much set in the present day and will involve many things about planes! Let the sign-ups begin! ;D

The Rules
We will have an overlord (or overlady), who will be all powerful and control the game.
Everyone else will be a servant of theirs to do his or her bidding, which will be a new assignment at the beginning of each round.
The game begins by the Overlord issuing a task, sending out their servants, and then summoning everyone before them and questioning them about whether they got the thing they wanted.
Any given round may have anywhere from a developing storyline and plot to pure and simple tasking. At times, the gamemaster (Overlord) may deviate from the general pattern and do something different at the end than just another task.
Example Round:
Let's say the Overlord might have wanted a jeep to use.
Stage 1: Introduction
The Overlord sends out their servants on a task and they return, and the Overlord will question their servants and ask them why they failed to bring them the thing they wanted (which will invariable happen, no one ever succeeds).
Stage 2: Defenses
Players can then blame their failure on some random thing (like maybe an elephant destroying the jeep) or someone else in the game; anything to shrug themselves off from fault.
Everyone can then blame someone, themselves, keep silent, or introduce some sort of new feature that happened while acquiring the item (in this case, a jeep). Eventually, the Overlord will process the information and decide who failed.
Stage 3: Punishment
The person chosen to have failed by the Overlord is then thrown out, vaporized, or something creative, by the Overlord's orders. The idea is to not be this person, and to survive as long as possible.
Likely, the Overlord will choose the best defenses as survivors.
Player defenses may not exceed 750 words per post. Unless your post has gotten noticeably quite long, you are unlikely to be hitting this limit.
Inter-game rules: The winner of any round is given host-ship of the next game. This can tie in with them going from servant to overlord, or it can be original.
General Guidelines:
Free roleplaying, or game spam, is fine. This means having yourself eat a banana, talk about the weather or river dance.
Whenever someone says something about an event, it becomes fact. It is what happened. If someone says an elephant destroyed a jeep, then anyone calling that person a liar is for certain lying; the jeep was destroyed by an elephant. What's up for telling by someone else is, for example, who set the elephant on the jeep. Also, a character doesn't know what someone else's motives were in doing or saying something -- they can speculate on those motives, but saying about someone, for instance, that "they meant to kill the Overlord" is not automatically factual.
Godmoding pertaining to persons should be restricted to some extent, just try to keep things with at least a hand in plausibility. Powerplaying is allowed. However, it cannot affect players between tasks. For instance, you cannot have a servants contract a disease and be unable to speak, or even die. You can have them be sick during the task, but you cannot impede them during the Sessions before the Overlord.
Normally, the Gamemaster will have technology restricting servants to a base during the game to prevent physically roleplaying and keep the game focused on its purpose. Overlords can power play.
Also, you cannot use an excuse like being brainwashed or cloned during the task. You are you - and you are responsible for what you did wrong.
All posts after the game begins should contain IC text; there should be no posts that are only OOC chatter.
No "backseat moderating". You may ask the Overlord whether someone else's post violates the rules, but do not tell that person, whether by making an OOC comment or PMing them, that they are in the wrong. The Overlord is responsible for managing the game.
Remember to keep things civil, stay inside the board rules, keep all hands and legs inside the game until it comes to a complete stop.

I'll be away from the forums for about two weeks starting tomorrow (March 21-April 5).
If you are still accepting, I would love to join.
Yep still accepting!
@Skye: Yes, that does pose a significant problem. I shall contemplate this. ;D Anyway, I'll probably just go along with the schedule, but I don't know.
Derp. Forgot about this, sorry! Go ahead and scratch my entry if necessary :)
OOC: Okay, I might have to. To have an even number of players.
IC: Many have heard of the only congenial Overlord. No one believes what they've heard; a master of the skies secretly controlling the almost all of the known world. Many of heard of Overlords that are evil and destroy their enemies in flame and squash them without care. But you are in the employ of the only Overlord that isn't regarded a terrorist by law enforcement. You know, however, that this one has a short temper, and has the means to dispose of anyone who gets in his way.
You walk into a room to see a large window on the far wall looking out over the countryside whizzing by. There are several paintings that look to be from the Renaissance, there is a large hound with its head between it's paws, it looks up at you then puts his paws back. Then you see a high-back leather chair facing away from you. It turns and you see a rather tall man, wearing a brown blazer over a black turtleneck sipping tea.
The man takes one final sip of tea and then says to you; "Ah, good, I see you have arrived. I've been waiting. I'm sure you've been treated hospitably. Aside from the method of your arrival. But it's a necessary safety precaution. As you can see I am a different kind of Overlord. Accomplish your tasks with ease and you shall eventually rise in my ranks. Fail and I'm ashamed to say, I will explode in anger and things will happen to you of a less...pleasant nature.
My first task for you isn't very hard, just warming you up to things. You are to retrieve the original
Bleriot XI that Louis Bleriot himself flew across the English Channel. It's part of the Shuttleworth Collection in Old Warden, Biggleswade, England. I've already contacted the owner, his name is William Lett, and he is ready for you to come and retrieve the plane.
Two weeks later. "Am I really to understand this?! Mr. Sandpaw, I've heard from the owner of the plane, who was a good friend of mine! That you were attempting to steal it and held William at gunpoint! Also, Soren, what was the meaning of throwing watermelons at the wings?! Skyblade, William has told me that they chose you to fly the plane because of your long history of flying historical planes. Not only did they find that you didn't have a license. But you've never flown a plane in your life! I thought that this would be a simple task, but not only is the plane destroyed and history has been lost! But you have nearly had me proclaimed a terrorist! Explain! All of you!
Sir, please accept my apologies for this tragedy. Let me make clarify what happened.
I was honestly very excited about this mission and determined to do my best and do it right. We found and met the owner of the plane you wished for us to receive, a pleasant man named William Lett. I was just talking to Lett about this historical artifact when all of us heard sudden shuffling behind us. Spinning around, I met the unexpected and terrifying sight of Sandpaw trying to take the plane away. I yelled for the others to help me as I ran up to Sandpaw in an effort to stop him. It was William Lett who reached Sandpaw first and tried to stop him. However, Sand drew out a gun and threatened to shoot him if things didn't go his way.
I was terrified by this point and I knew that we had to restrain Sand and get out of here quickly before he caused any damage to Lett. Now, since I'm not the strongest one of the group to say the least, I asked Plugg and Izeroth to try to grab Sand, restrain him in some way, and drag him into the plane. They managed to get him in the plane, and I went to apologize to William Lett for this event. However, he had fled before Sand or any of us could deal him any harm. I went back to the plane to notify the others, and found that the pilot we had been assigned was killed.
I was definitely panicking by this point. I wanted to go back and try to find William Lett, but Sage told me that it was going to be okay anyway and tried to fly the plane back himself. But I knew that Sage had absolutely no experience with planes, and nether did anyone else except me. I still tried to convince Sage that I couldn't fly the plane as I had no license, but he and Soren told me to fly it or they would destroy the plane altogether. I felt like the threat was serious, as they were even holding flamethrowers up to the plane's surfaces, so I flew the plane to guard it from any potential harm.
However, some way through our journey, we heard strange sounds. I sent Plugg to investigate and he realized that the wings were not working well due to watermelon on them. He also told me that he had seen Soren throwing the fruit at the wings earlier. Almost crying with fear, I tried to contact someone for help but as I was running, Izeroth knocked me out with a pole.
When I woke up, I realized that we had crashed and were blessed to still have our skins. Apparently, William Lett had been hiding nearby as the plane took off and had seen me fly the plane. But I assure you, I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for Sage and Soren's threat to completely obliterate it.
(I don't know if this is too long...I'll check. I hope this is okay for my very first OO post!
EDIT: Nope, this is around 500 words. Phew :DD)
(OOC: I had a longer post, but it was ninja'd. ;) I hope this one isn't too short.)
I can attest this, sir! Everything that Sky has said is true. After she was knocked out by Izeroth, I rushed to the cockpit because I noticed that the plane started to angle downward. I flung the door open to find Izeroth filming the plane going down, shouting something about how many views it would get. I rushed forward, pushed him out of the way and tried to regain control of the plane, but it was too late because we were already flying at a low altitude. I think that Izeroth, Soren and Sage are responsible, sir!
OOC: Big long post and I'm no longer bale to use it. Bleh, Back to typing.
IC: One of the young pilots stepped forward shaking his head sadly at the accusations.
"Sir what Sky says is true, However because she was preoccupied talking to r William she didn't see the entire thing. As you probably know the plane we were sent to get is a rather small thing, only able to seat on person and we had decided before hand that Soren should fly it back him being the best pilot of us all. Once we landed I set about getting fuel in the plane we had flown there in hoping to fly a convoy back with Soren in the other Aircraft. While the others were talking me Soren and Sage noticed a Watermelon truck come by selling the fruit for cheap.
Well we all jumped up and rushed over being rather hungry and started buying melons for the trip. Well Sage and Soren had just taken big bites of the melon and went completely insane and tried to jump me. As you know sir I am a licensed concealed weapon carrier so I pulled my gun and knocked them off of me and ran over to the others while Sage and Soren threw melons everywhere.
William saw me coming with the weapon and yelled for me to take the plane and to leave him alone before I could say a thing. He must have thought I was trying to high jack it.
Melons were flying and I didn't want to shoot Soren or Sage so I tried to take cover behind the plane you sent us to get when Plugg and Izeroth got me from behind and knocked me out.
I woke up later in the back of the Cessna you sent us in tied up in duct tape and unable to move until we got back here. You have my deepest apologies on the matter sir.
OOC: Hey guys just so you know the plane is very small (http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=HN.608002318325776760&w=128&h=96&c=7&rs=1&qlt=90&pid=3.1&rm=2)
Sir, although I am a pilot, I'm only a good pilot at model airplanes, I told everyone that I had no experience whatsoever with a full size airplane.
And the watermelons weren't intendid to cause the mission to have a minor hiccup. I'll tell you what happened to me. I was working on a spreadsheet for the other servants on ways to improve work ethic, but Sage interrupted me and said that the plane was I fested with mites. I had no knowledge of this, and had been at work the whole time proir to that event. You see, Sage had told me that the infamous Eurasian Wing Mites had infested the plane, and we're clinging to the exterior surfaces. He said under normal conditions, you would take the plane and destroy it. But, seeing as it was a piece of history, we were to do our best to remove the mites. Eurasian Wing Mites bury themselves into a plane wing, and corrode the engine, so we couldn't fly unless they were removed. Sage said he was the "expert on mites and airplanes" and said that we should use flamethrowers to remove the mite from the plane. So I did as I was "ordered" because Sage said he would head the mission.
After that, he said to remove any excess mites, we should get the plane in the air to fling them off. I said I didn't think that was a good idea, but Sage is the "expert". Anyway, he went to Sky and threatened to destroy the plane. I was standing next to him, and had no idea what he ment. I tried to interrupt, but he pointed the flamethrower at me.
Anyway, after we flamethrowed the mites off the plane, he said we should use watermelons as a replant against the mites so they wouldn't come back. I have no experience with mites or airplanes, so I did as I was told. I threw the watermelons against the plains wings. I didn't have any idea they would effect the flight, Sage said it would be fine. He suggested we buy them from the fruit truck passing by.
When we bought the melons, Sage and Iz cried out "Sand has a gun and is crazy! Get him!" I have no experience, seeing as I am an office clerk. So I did as I was told and threw the melons, as I was ordered too.
I had no idea that there was going to be a problem sir, I was only doing what I was told would advance the mission further. I would never do anything to sabotage this mission. I didn't do anything after we had flamethrowed the plane and added the watermelon repellant. I sat in my seat and worked on the office work for you the entire time. It must have been Sage or Iz that made a mistake.

OOC:This made me laugh out loud ;D
@Sandpaw: Oops! Sorry, I don't know anything about planes. Thank you for telling us about the plane size; that helps!
EDIT: I just read the rule that we're not supposed to write pure OOC posts. Really sorry about that!! (Coming from me, not my roleplay character). I'll try to remember that from now on.
I did indeed hit Skyblade with a pole. In hysteria, she was messing up the interior of the plane and flipping all these random switches. I smacked her with a pole to prevent further damage and confusion.
Plugg makes it sound as if I was just filming for fun, but you must realize that it was a serious matter. I was filming a special plane documentary for the government, and I needed to capture some footage of our plane doing a special downward path. I thought I might post it on YouTube as well, as an informative video on advanced flying tactics. The plane was in no danger until Plugg took over; the downward path I was taking, while looking alarming, was in fact designed to conserve fuel and increase our speed.

I acknowledge that this is true, Overlord. However, you must understand and consider my motives. I never, ever intended to mess up the interior of the plane. I was very panicked because of all the trauma that had occurred because of my teammates, and accidentally damaged a small part of the wall. It was actually a very minor scrape that would not have affected the plane's workings and could barely be seen, but when I saw it, I decided at once to fix it later so I could make up for it.
As for flipping random switches, I was merely looking for the correct switch with which I could use to call somebody for help. I truly believed that the plane was falling and did not know that we were just doing a downward path "for fun".
Anyway, the minimal to no damage that I did would not have caused major repercussions. I believe that even if I were not to have been knocked out, I would not have done anything major. In fact, I was trying to improve the situation, and I apologize if I did not.
OOC: Wow, this is the best first round that I've ever seen! Going to be very hard to choose someone to leave.
OOC: Please let me live, I was unable to respond earlier.
BIC: Indeed, as everybody says, I am the expert of airplane mites. As a matter of fact, they are so ugly I chose to hide them from Soren because he might overreact to the sight of them. Alas, he did see them, and as a result he threw cantaloupes at us all, then went back to his office work, framing me for the cantaloupes. And our threat to obliterate the plane? Who said it was the plane you were flying, Sky? You obviously didn't see the paper plane Soren and I had constructed to test the wind. That was the plane we threatened to destroy.
The one thing Izeroth isn't letting on is that he planned to edit the video later and frame us all (except himself) for unsafe flying (which it was, thanks to Sky. {she almost got us killed!}) and the wreckage of an antique airplane. As a matter of fact, as soon as he was done filming he set up a false landing strip for us - that was 200 feet short of the required length. Not only did he wish to kill us, but he wanted to wreck the mission all along.
OOC: This is really cool and enjoyable. And you all are very good :)
IC: I did not know anything about a paper plane. Neither Sage nor Soren mentioned it to me at all, so how was I to have even an idea? And apparently they expected me to see a tiny piece of paper art when they didn't show me it at all, but kept it in Soren's office. And when they threatened to destroy a plane while they held flamethrowers up to our plane, it would have been the most likely supposition that they were planning to do something to the artifact...and I had to stop them.
That is why I got into the plane as fast as I could and flew it away, meaning to fly it only for a few minutes until it was safe from Sage and Soren's reach. However, while the plane was apparently taking a simple downward turn (as we just found out from Izeroth), what caused the plane to crash right after was the malfunctioning of the wings because of the watermelon. I did not know a thing about this whole mites incident until the very moment Soren opened his mouth to say his story. Sage and Soren didn't tell me a thing.
Clearly there was a lot of confusion regarding what to do. I was only acting in the way I thought best at the time to keep the plane safe.
The water melons were, indeed, mite repellant, but I agree that I miscalculated the weight of each one. I never meant it to destroy the plane. As for the flamethrowers... *scratches back of neck* they were the best way to take care of the lice. I admit I was a littel high when I made the threat...
A boon, a boon, spare me!
OOC: Sorry if this gets on anyone's nerves.
BIC:
Uh, your highness sir, I did help Sage make that paper airplane, but he told me it was to be a gift for his "beloved". I didn't know which of the girls near the mission site was his "beloved", so I didn't say anything to Sky. Sage said that she would get jealous of the "sweetness". Sage said that we were going to test it in the wind to make sure it worked, and then give it to his "beloved". I thought it was a wonderful gesture of kindness and affection. But since I didn't know who he was planning on giving it too, I didn't say anything. Sage had said if I told Sky, she would get jealous of the "sweetness." I didn't that we were in danger of THAT, but I didn't want to take any chances.
And as far as the mites went and me not telling Sky, Sage said we shouldn't say anything to anyone about his gift for his "beloved" and that if we told anyone about the mites, they would go digging for more information and would get him discovered.
I stayed away from Sage and Sky in case the "sweetness" was going to be displayed. That would just make an awkward situation worse.
OOC: Good thing this isn't on SFC.
BIC: Beloved? You must mean my "beloved friendSkyblade. Let me tell you, those mites are intelligent. They frame every mechanic, pilot, and service engineer who messses with them. Frame them with what, you say? Oh, frame us for criminal activities. I was really doing everyone a favor by eliminating the mites.
While it did appear that I was trying to frame everyone for crashing the plane, and while I did set up a fake runway, I assure you that this was not a bad thing. I overheard Sagetip, you see, plotting to overthrow you. Therefore, I thought I would pretend to be plotting and framing people myself, and set up a fake runway just for extra effect. I assumed that Sagetip would then fill me in on his plan, and then I would be able to capture him.
Well, I might have messed up which species I used. The lesser mind-control mosquito is a stimulant for creativity, while the greater mind-control mosquito promotes insanity. Small mistake, but nothing to worry about.
"Well well well. I can't trust you all in the simplest of things, can I? Well one of you has failed me more than the others, and that is you Izeroth. I will dispose of you shortly." You see Izeroth vanish before your eyes then reappear in a glass cage filled with a strange gas, he can breathe, but with difficulty. "Your friend here is in a cage filled with leeches and a parasite of my own invention; the Reaper. It travels all throughout your body and kills you in a month, but you are in miserable pain when it is in you.
"Well, your next mission is to find a Handley Page Victor; (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/065/d/1/handley_page_victor_mk2_by_emigepa-d4ry740.jpg) and go bomb a remote region in the Arctic Circle. This is a new development that I am proving will be able to fly in any region of the world. It is cooperation with the U.N. If you fail me in this...let's just say that you will face more dire consequences than Izeroth is in. I am sending you in a Grob GF 200, (http://www.pilotfriend.com/aircraft%20performance/Grob/200.jpg) Sage you are to get your pilot's license before hand to be co-pilot with Sandpaw."
Four weeks later. "Oh my word! You are the most incompetent servants in the whole of Servantdom! Sage, you took your lessons, but then got a D+? You said that you were studying day and night to not disappoint me! Plugg, I was told by some locals that you thought it would be a good idea to set fire to the Grob's tail! I know that your name is Firetail and all, but that's taking it too far! You also managed to bomb Buckingham Palace, the White House, and the Canadian Parliment! I am now declared an outlaw! Tell me what happened before I let the full extent of my wrath descend upon you!"
OOC: Nice work Izeroth, it was close, but when you put mind control it broke one of the rules and sealed your fate. Good game! :) And now you've changed it ::). Anyway, it still counts. Sage could you delete your last post please? Thanks! ;)
Sir, I can explain. All was going according to plan, I was ready along with other members of the crew, boarding the GF200. Then, out of no where, something hit the back of my head and I woke up chained to one of the passenger seats. Sky was infront of me, singing some song that hurt my concussed head. Plugg was behind me, running around with a lighter. Sandpaw and Sage were arguing in the cockpit, and 80 cows on jetpacks were attacking us from outside the plane! They were shooting peanuts at us, yelling "MOOOOOOOOO!!!!FREEDOME!!!!MOOOOO!!!!"
I had no idea what was going on, and then someone said "He's awake!" and smacked me on the head. I woke up here sir.
Sir, Soren isn't gving away the whole story. Getting a D+ was just a ruse, I was certain the teachers would've kept me for much longer if I got good grades. I am, in fact, a good pilot nonetheless.
Sand and I were arguing because I was planning on setting us down in a safe place while Sand wanted us to land in a minefield! Those jetpacks cows were renegade, I believe Sky remotely activated them to sabotage the mission.
While his was happening, Plugg set fire to the tail and promptly began ripping out wires, yelling "Batman! Batman!" I tried to stop him but Sandpaw made me stay in the pit.
Also, Soren opened the main passenger door and said, "Guys, we're going down. Better get your parachutes on." I said, "We don't have any parachutes!" (because Sky had thrown them away, saying they weren't needed). Soren, nonetheless, was threatening us to jump or he'd shoot us. Luckily, Sandpaw and my quick actions set us down somewhere in the Arctic, where Sand promptly smashed our flashlights and hand warmers, all the while saying "Oh, a bit of cold never hurt anyone." It was up to me, sir, because the others were mad as a chicken.
OOC: Sage, how could I threaten you if I was unconscious?
OOC: After you woke up.
OOC: But I was chained to a chair.
OOC: Ok, hold on.
BIC: I forgot to mention that I released Soren from his chains. Obviously, I shouldn't have.
Sir, while I was threatening the people to jump, we were flying above the ocean and everyone here is a champion diver and swimmer. And Sky had given us flying squirrel suits to wear. But anyway.
I was trying to get everyone to jump because the rear of the plane was on fire. And a large bat-like creature bursted through the rear of the plane and started to tear and claw at us. I kept yelling for everyone to jump, saying "JUMP! USE YOUR SUIT! THERE'S A FIRE! AND A BAT MONSTER! JUMP!" But they didn't listen, instead they saw I was awake and yelled "He's awake!" That's when everything went black and I woke up here.
OOC: I survived to the second round!! :o :D
IC: Sir, let me tell the story from my perspective.
We about to board the G200. Since I was at the back, I was the last person to have my ticket checked in the line, and the others didn't see it hear this. The man verifying our flight beckoned me. I did, and he told me, "I almost forgot to warn you all, ma'am. You see, the parachutes on this plane have, to say the least, a huge problem. When they're activated, instead of opening, they explode and instantly kill the people using them. Now, I doubt you all will need to use them. But wanted to warn you just in case, missie. If you ever have an emergency, just remember to NEVER let anyone use the parachutes and instead use some flying squirrel suits in the back closet."
I thanked him and went on my way. I ran and caught up to Soren so we could talk about how to best proceed with this mission. Just as we were about to get on the plane, Soren crumbled to the ground. I gasped and immediately got down to check on him and help him, only to find that he was unconscious. While I was trying to aid Soren, sonethjng hit me in the back of the head and knocked me out, too.
I woke up on the floor with chaos was on the rise. Soren was still knocked out, for one. But Sand and Sage were arguing very vehemently about something, and Plugg was trying to calm them down. I tried to find it what was going on and help Plugg sort things out, but Sand gave me a jug of milk and told me to throw the whole thing out the window, because there were some jet pack cows outside and he told me that that would tame them. I trusted his word, so I did exactly as he i instructed me,but instead if claming down, the jetpack cows were further riled. I went to ask Sand why he had told me to do such a thing when I saw that he and Sage had gotten very violent. Plugg had found a lighter and was trying to use it in an effort to calm them down and make them stop being so disruptive and dangerous.
I realized that with jetpack cows outside and all this strife inside, we needed as much help as we could get. So, I went to Soren, who was still unconscious, and tried to wake him up. I nudged him, poked him, slapped his head, and even threw ice cold water on him. Still, he didn't wake. I sat down in the seat in front of him to think about what to do next. Then, I had an idea. It was a strange one, but at this point was worth a try. Knowing that I'm not the best singer, I decided to try to wake up Soren by singing a song. It worked, and Soren came to his senses. I was relieved, and was abot to explain to him, but he kept interrupting. Instead of being a help, he insulted my singing. I mean, I know I'm not a great singer, but he didn't need to compare my singing with that of "a bird being strangled".
Since he wasn't helping after all, I went to Plugg for help but realized we were going down. Sage immediately ran for the parachutes, but then I remembered what the man had told me earlier. Those are bombs! I thought. I tried to explain to Sage, "We don't need these parachutes- we'll get killed!" But he didn't listen to me. He grabbed a parachute and was about to give one to Soren. I knew if they got them, they would leap immediately only to die in a fiery explosion in the sky. So, I grabbed them and threw them out the window before they could - literally - leap to their demise.
I then found the flying squirrel suits in the back closet, as the man had told me, and gave them to everyone as an alternative. When I tried to explain about the parachutes, nobody would listen except Plugg, and nobody was listening to him, either.
I did my best, sir. I just wish people would listen to me and understand me more.
OOC: I just remembered something from Sage's post, so I edited a small part.
Of all the pilots Sandpaw looked the calmest occasionally fiddling with his flight equipment and shaking his head sadly as the accusations flew thick and fast. When there was finally a moment of silence he spoke up.
"Well sir its clear they only want to tell you part of the story so here's the full thing. We took off at 0700 and flew straight to Sage's flying lessons where he took the course and almost passed. We were all slightly unsure at his flying skills but never the less we took off from there at 0800 a few days later and got into our plane. Once we got on Sky insisted we all get tickets for some reason even though it was our own aircraft.
Well we bought the tickets for pretty penny and off we flew to the Artic. We were flying along nicely and I was showing Sage some tricks with the controls when he started yelling he wanted to leave to cockpit. I insisted he should stay and that there was nothing wrong. Then we started smelling smoke and seeing flying cows outside the port windows. I began evasive maneuvers to get away from the cows but they kept coming. In desperation I handed Sky some sour milk telling her to throw it out the window hoping it would deter them slightly. However as Sky said it only made them angrier.
I spotted a old Russian military base with a minefield surrounding and suggested to Sage we should land there so we could be safe from the angry cows. Instead of listening he began getting angry and insisting I was trying to take control because I was the main pilot. While I was trying to fly away from cows and keep Sage from attacking me we were hit by some sort of explosion in the back. I think that was when we were being attacked by the bat thing.
Well I yelled for everyone to get a parachute because I didn't know they were bombs but Sky had thrown them off thankfully. Well we managed to get out using the Paragliding suits and landed safely but completely lost. Soren was unconscious Sky was unconscious and Sage was pouting.
I then noticed the cows were still searching for us so I destroyed anything that gave off heat so they would use thermal to find us and buried everyone under the snow. When they were finally gone me and Plugg carried Sky and Soren all the way back to the military base. We found the bomber you wanted and were about to get on when Sage ran ahead because he wasn't carrying a fallen comrade and jumped in the plane saying he would finish the mission himself. Neither me or Plugg asked him to or told him so we just stood helplessly as he flew off. That must have been when he started bombing the cities.
Well me and Plugg managed to find an old Helicopter and flew back her with Soren and SKy who had been unconscious for a seriously long time. We met up with Sage a few miles out saying proudly that he had finished bombing the target without us and he would get all the glory.
And sir here we are ashamed that our comrade would go and do such a thing."
Quote from: LT SandpawOnce we got on Sky insisted we all get tickets for some reason even though it was our own aircraft.
OOC: This is hilarious, but I am going to have to try to justify myself nonetheless :D
IC: I had a very good reason for that, sir. I received a call from my cousin (who, just to clarify, isn't a member of this group ;)) saying that we must buy tickets for the flight. I was flummoxed, but as this person was family, I trusted him.
When the man at the ticket counter stopped me to tell me about the malfunctioning parachutes and the flying squirrel suits, I instantly understood why. There was something very important we had to know! Sir, for this reason, I believe that I actually played a very good role in this mission. Had I not gotten us to buy the tickets, we would never have found out the parachutes were actually bombs. All of us would have died jumping off the plane with death traps on our fragile backs.
Sand also mentioned that the tickets cost quite a bit to buy. I am actually the one who donated all the money so we could buy the tickets, so the paying was all on me. Anyway, money is a small price to pay for the life of any human.
OOC: Goodness, I need to get a word in. :P
IC: Sir, I would defend myself for what some have claimed I have done, but it seems that those who are in their right minds have already done so. I will discuss that which they have not talked about. The reason that I yelling "Batman" is because that is our code word for "Bomb" whenever we fly, so in case there are any passengers they are no alarmed. I was unplugging wires because the security lockdown was not working. Apparently, Sage unplugged some of the wires from the plane and were using them to power his Xbox. Without power, I knew that the plane would quickly lose control so I franticly started unplugging his Xbox so I could repower the plane. The reason that the tail of the plane caught on fire is that one of the parachute bombs had not been thrown off of the plane, and it looked like it is was about to blow up, so I quickly grabbed it and threw it off the plane. However, I was not quick enough and the bomb blew up as it passed the tail end of the plane, catching it on fire.
Basically, all of the things that people blamed on me were the results of other's careless mistakes.
"Well, these excuses are becoming more and more outlandish. Your next mission will be one of the utmost simplicity. But now I must devise a punishment for the one that has failed me the most." Then you see Sage being duct-taped to the top of the plane, then a flying Buffalo comes and eats him, then he reappears and it all begins again. "He shall remain like that for all eternity. His screams shall comfort me at night." The Overlord added with grim smile.
"Well, now that I see that you can do absolutely nothing without completely destroying what you are sent to do. I will give a simpler mission. I've always thought that it would be a good idea to start breeding
Irish Wolfhounds we have contacted a seller and we are going to drop you off in Wyoming right now, the farm is on the left as soon as we land. You are to get four of the Wolfhounds and bring them to me. They must be in perfect condition, or you will be destroyed."
Two weeks later. "I am becoming increasingly irritated by the four of you! You bring me four dogs, but all of them are scrawny, unkempt dogs. None of them being Irish Wolfhounds! I know the owner well and he couldn't have crossed me; he knows what it means to cross an Overlord. Soren, you apparently set fire to the farm and dressed as an Indian and went on a Buffalo hunt; you ruined all of their harvest! Skye, you apparently went and sat under a tree until they had done something right, then began screeching and kicking at the Wolfhounds and scratching them. Plugg, what is this fascination with flaming tails?! You went around setting every single dog's tail that you could find, on fire! Sandpaw, you began yelling at the farmer and threatening to detonate 7,000,000 tons of TNT underneath the earth's crust if you didn't get what you wanted. Speak! All of you!"
OOC: Nice game Sage, it was extremely close. This is going to be a good round. :)
Before anyone says something, I will like to assert, sir, that what you heard was only a percentage of the truth. I will admit that I screeched, kicked, and scratched the Wolfhounds. Two of them had escaped their cages and just attacked me belligerently - I was completely shocked, for from what I heard, Wolfhounds are a very nice breed of dog. I am thinking somebody did something to them...anyway, I was fighting in self defense. I was honestly not putting up a completely proper fight because I knew that you would not want us to hurt the dogs. However, if I did not give at least a few desperate kicks and scratches to a Wolfhound that had me on the ground and was proceeding to bite my throat out, I would have died.
I honestly did not do much harm, if any, to the sturdy wolfhounds that attacked me. After I managed to fight them off, they shook me off, were perfectly fine, and ran away. As for the screeching, I was yelling for help, but nobody came to my aid.
Well Sir, it's easy to explain. You see, everythu g was going to plan, until we arrived in Wyoming. The dog breeders, while nice people, don't keep up a clean barn. They asked us to clean up for them. We figured it could be the least we could do. You see, we cleaned their barn, but there was a lingering stitch. We couldn't figure out what it was. I lit a scented candle to clear the air, but Plugg burst in with a poor dog's tail on fire, and threw the poor animal at the alcohol cupboard yelling "VIVA LA FRANCE!" Well, this caused several bottles of whiskey to fall on the candle and the poor dogs tail and a explosion occured. The whole barn was on fire! We ran out, the four of us. The barn was burning down. It was spreading to the crops! Sky wasn't doing anything, just sitting there and I told her to grab a water hose and help put the fire out. Then she said something......uncharacteristicly rude. Well, I had no idea where LT was, so I tried to put the fire out by myself. But time traveling Indians cut the hose line and there wasn't a bucket in sight! By then, the fire had scorched everything and went out on its own. Well, I chased the Indians, and followed them to their camp. They had a bunch of technology and dead animals. Strange mixture, I know, but the truth. Anyway, they were roasting something, and then a huge group of them arrived. I realized I needed to blend in, so I knocked one of the guards out and dressed up like him. They said they were going on a Buffalo hunt, and all were invited. They were handing out bow and arrows, so I decided to play along and to take my chance when it came. The Indians had pinned down a huge heard of buffaloes, and as they closed in, I attack the one who sabotaged the farm. This caused a stampede in which most of the Indians were trampled on. I returned to the farm to find LT arguing with the farmer. Plugg was lighting dogs tail and screaming about a lack of cake, Sky was kicking the dogs, and yelling at Plugg to save her. I tried to help her, but Plugg got in the way. Sky had it under control anyway. Plugg gave me the four dogs that were left saying "Trust me, they're legit wolfhounds." I objected, and said to get some real wolfhounds. But Sky grabbed their leashes and said it would be fine and left the farm with the four scraggly dogs. I followed her, protesting peacefully, but by then we had to return to the meeting site.
OOC: I edited my post before you posted. It says that nobody helped me with the Wolfhound attack, so you might want to fix that, Sor ;)
But yay! I survived to the top four...but I feel like it's getting more challenging now.
IC: Sir, you know that I was not behaving as terribly as these people portray me. Please do hear me out.
When we got there, I immediately set about to gather the Wolfhounds or clean the farm - anything to help. However, Sand, who was trying to gather the Wolfhounds together so we could take them back, said that something was terribly wrong with them. It seemed like someone or somebody had tampered with the dogs, making them act more aggressive than usual.
So he told me, "Listen. Since the wolfhounds are so dangerous, I'll bring them out two at a time. I want you to wait under that tree until I bring you two, and then you take care of them while I get the others."
I decided to go with his plan, as it was coming from Sand and it seemed sensible. However, while I was waiting under the tree, I realized that somehow, Soren and Plugg had caused a fire! Soren yelled at me to get a water hose. I was upset because yet another mission was going awry, so I replied, "How can someone be so stupid?" Soren misinterpreted me and thought that the comment was aimed at him, but it was actually at myself, because I felt so bad and was unfairly blaming myself for the incident. He left very cryptically right after that.
I was looking for a nearby water hose or fire extinguisher to stop the fire when the two Wolfhounds I mentioned earlier attacked me. And Sand was supposed to lead them gently towards me, not let them ambush me and nearly kill me! After I escaped, as I mentioned earlier, I went and found Soren and Plugg because I knew that I couldn't take back all four of these Wolfhounds back by myself, especially since they wanted to kill me. Plugg was saying that we should take these four random dogs instead of Wolfhounds. He was saying that these were the real ones, but he whispered into my ear that he was actually covering up because he was scared.
I was about to say, "It will be fine, Plugg, let's take these dogs back to the farmer and get the actual Wolfhounds." But Soren interrupted four words in, protesting before I could say more. He kept protesting to whatever I said and didn't let me explain anything. I realized that the four scraggly dogs may not be safe in the farm because of the fire, so I decided to take them outside of the farm to rest, be safe, and recover, and go back for the Wolfhounds and let the farmer know so he wouldn't be missing the four dogs. However, Sand suddenly appeared and said that we had to leave at once. He took the leashes of the four dogs and ran off with them. I yelled at him to stop, and tried to explain that we had to go back for the Irish Wolfhounds, but it was hard to get a word in with Soren and Plugg arguing with me. By that time, it was too late anyway, and I had no choice but to go with the other servants to the meeting site.
Sir, while I did interrupt Sky a few times, I only thought she was acting foolishly. I was mistaken in that small aspect of this mission that was blown by Plugg and Sandpaw.
Of all the pilots Sandpaw looked the most calm never once putting in a word edgewise letting the others argue it out until a awkward silence fell over the group allowing Sand to step forward.
"Well sir this is very accurate description of what was happening, Soren and Plugg were helping out around the dog farm while me and Sky got the Wolfhounds.
Well when me and Sky got to the wolfhounds pens we noticed they looked hungry and viscous. I immediately noticed something was off with the dogs and pointed this out. I suggested we take the dogs two at a time so we could control them if they tried anything. Well I took the first two too Sky and went back for the next set when the owner came out and started yelling at me.
Apparently Soren and Plugg were goofing off in the barn and setting dogs tails on fire. I suggested pepper spray but the owner demanded we pay him for the damages.
He wanted three million dollars in expenses and if we didn't give it too him he would turn us over to the U.N. He mentioned he had a bunch of Indian friends that would capture us if we didn't pay up.
I have to admit I forgot about Sky who was at that time in peril with angry wolfhounds and began arguing with the owner saying that we served the Overlord and it wasn't wise to make demands of him. I then bluffed saying I would blow up the entire world if he called the U.N and didn't give us the dogs.
Well as you might expect he just laughed seeing right though my bluff and went off to get his Indian friends to capture us. I knew we had to leave fast so I found the others and took the dogs and began running knowing we only had so much time. With the Indians hot on our tail I knew we couldn't go back for the actual wolfhounds and kept running all the way back here.
I had no idea what the others were doing until now and I hope you understand me not going back for the hounds. I was trying to keep my team alive which is much more then they did.
Sir, I wasn't setting the tail on fire, it was just that when the barn caught on fire, some of the dogs tails got burnt. Just that I sorta caught their tail on fire in the since that the barn the caught on fire from my candle and Plugg's unstable mental condition caught their tail on fire. I am partly responsible, indirectly though. And unintentionally.
"I am very disappointed in you all. But one more than the others." You see Plugg be forced into a dog suit then have his tail on fire. "It will burn and burn, and eventually consume him. But then he will be ressurected, and the process will begin again. All within the confines of this titanium cage. Oh yes, and did I mention that the last time you failed me, with the bomber. You lost my contract with the Department of Defense, and if there is an ice age in the near future. We will not have any form of defense."
"But enough of that. Now I have another task for you. I am sending you to Italy to obtain the Fiat G.91:
(http://k42.kn3.net/taringa/4/0/7/1/6/9/tobull/939.jpg?9006) This will complete my collection of Italian Jets. This time, it's entirely illegal. This might improve your performance, last time was as simple as I could make it. So now I am going to make it more complicated we will be waiting for your arrival on a carrier in the Mediterranean."
5 weeks later. "Alright, I'm not even going to shout this time. But Skye, you said that you were the best pilot, even though you aren't one, and then you took control of the plane and crashed it into an iceberg near Greenland! Why did you go in this arduous route instead of just flying to the carrier? We even fired up a flare as you were passing us! Soren, I saw you dropping explosive pigs into the water and even onto the carrier! Sandpaw, now, what do I say about your behavior. YOU WERE COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT! According to these logs you took control of the entire mission. Which is good, you have been the best servant so far. But then you somehow got your hands on a B-22 and bombed all of the Consulates on Italy! Explain this to me! Before I end your miserable existences!"
Sir, please. You know that I only ever want to do the right thing.
We had found the Fiat G.91. I asked Sand to fly the plane back, as we had agreed beforehand that it was to be him to perform the task. However, he told Soren and I, "Ah, I have something to do, so I would rather not do it myself. You fly it back by yourself, Skye."
I stared back at him like this: O_______________________o "But, Sand," I said, "I may be the best pilot of paper airplanes, as I took an advanced paper airplane class a few months ago. However, this is a completely different matter! I can't fly the plane back!"
Sand replied aggressively, "I am telling you to do it, so do it! I am in charge of this mission, Skye." Suddenly, he ran up to a random B-22 nearby. I asked Soren to help, but he was too busy mumbling something about "explosive pigs". Seeing as he wasn't helping, I tried to run after Sand myself, but by then it was too late. He was flying the plane away!
I was trying to talk to Soren about what to do next, but he remained as unhelpful as ever. He kept saying how ridiculous it was that humans ate bacon only for breakfast. While I was trying to cooperate, we heard a terrible sound. Bombing! It was coming from the direction in which Sand had flown the B-22. I gasped and realized that he might be in trouble and need my help. Or maybe...maybe... just in case... He was the one responsible for the bombing. Either way, I knew that we couldn't just stand by and do nothing – I doubt you would want that, sir. But the place of the bombing was too far to reach on foot quickly. Only one option was open for us: take the Fiat G.91 to go to Sand.
I tried to convince Soren to fly the plane, as he had more flying experience than I. But instead he sat in one of the seats and kept rambling about bacon, pork, and other meat products. With Soren being like this and not agreeing anyway, I couldn't rely on him to fly the plane back. That's why I flew the plane myself (I will also add that although I am not a pilot, I am actually on the very last stage of becoming one. I just needed to take one more test to be certified. So it wasn't like I knew nothing about flying planes and would get us killed).
While I was flying to Sand, we passed nearby the carrier. Suddenly, I heard two sounds that normally don't mix: explosions and pigs "oinking". I looked back for a moment and saw Soren throwing explosive pigs out of the windows into the water! I would have gone back to stop him, but as I was flying, I couldn't move or we would lose control of the plane. I instead yelled as loud as I could, "STOP THROWING EXPLOSIVE PIGS, SOREN!"
I decided immediately to fly to Sand, so I could get his help to make Soren see reason. But when we got to the B-22 that he was flying (I saw Sand sitting in the pilot's seat, laughing and pointing), we saw that Sand was bombing the Consulates on Italy. He then saw me and flew at a higher altitude, trying to drop bombs on our Italian Jet that we were flying, as well! I screamed and flew away as fast as I could to save the kept as well as the lives of Soren and me. Speaking of Soren, he was still ranting about meat and other types of food.
I chose a random direction because of panic and we didn't have much time to escape, and we ended up going north. Along the way, I saw your flare go up, but thought that it was Sand dropping a bomb and I flew faster. We flew a long way before we lost Sand, who had probably gone back to bomb more Consulates on Italy.
I called Soren to come help me and decide what to do next. However, when he came, he knocked into me and made me lose control. We crashed into an iceberg near Greenland.
OOC: Dang it Sky, I had a Ninja'd posts that was in your favor. Too late now…
BIC:
Sir, I can explain my actions. You see, Sandpaw had told me that he had some trouble a while back and with the Porkzolli pig crime family. He said domestic animal mobs are the worst. And that he was smuggling slop a crow the Italian border for them, but saved some for himself. (That's the kind of stuff Sandpaw eats.)
Anyway, he said that the Porkzollis were going to give him a break if he bombed the Italian city, where the head of the Beeferoni crime family is. He said if I said anything to anyone, then he would bomb the G.91 too. Well, I could t get a word in to Sky because she couldn't heR me over the sound of the plane engine. I tried to tell her, but she couldn't hear.
anyway, the Porkzollis are notorious for their kamakazi pigs with TNT strapped to them. When they got wind that Sandpaw had other people with him, they tried to board the plane and blow it up. Sandpaw had spilt Fanta Orange soda all over the controls, so our steering was messed up and we flew right by you. Sandpaw had told us that your aircraft carrier was up north, so I thought that the one we damaged was Italian Navy, which is corrupt with Porkzolli mob anyway. I was tossing the pig out the side of the plane so that it wouldn't blow up. But Sand's drink had messed with the engine, and it sputtered a little. That's when I tripped into Sky and we were knocked of course.
And whenever Sky asked me for help, I couldn't hear her over the sound of pigs exploding.
And also, who doesn't love BLTs for lunch?
You see sir, it was all Sands fault.
OOC: Skye, I was on the carrier. It wasn't destroyed... ;D ;D
OOC: Wow poor Plugg didn't even have a chance too post. Oh and Soren according to Sky I was never aboard your plane the G.91 but I'll do my best.
A quiet laughter came from the young pilot as he shook with mirth at the stale accusations thrown his way. Calmly he stepped forward and bowed slightly to the Overlord.
"Sir if I may I would like to clear up this mess with a few words of my own. As you can see my comrades and I are at odds and they refuse to confirm the entire story.
We were doing well today glad to be back in service and out on the job and in beautiful Italy too boot. Well we found the G.91 easily and bribed the owner with my gun. It was around this time when Soren started acting weird, something about bacon and pigs. Anyway we had the plane all set up when I went into the bathroom to relive myself.
Once inside the stalls I heard talking though the grate on the floor. Torn with curiosity wonder who would be talking under the bathroom I leaned down to listen and heard something very disturbing. It was the Porkzollis, they were planning on flying a old B-22 too your aircraft carrier and destroying it. They apparently got the information from a lazy servant by the name of Soren who has a very loose tongue when it comes to his BLT which they bribed him with. I knew them well because before I worked for you I worked for them smuggling cow slop which is actually quite tasty.
Well I knew I had to do something so I attempted to contact you to prepare for an attack but Sky had inconveniently poured he soda all over my lap earlier and ruined my phone. So I took matters into my own hands and told Sky too fly the plane back no longer trusting Soren to do anything hoping she would be capable.
There was no time to explain what was happening because the B-22 was revving up and about to take off. I raced over and jumped inside before they could close the door and found myself facing thirty armed gunmen. How they managed to shove that many people inside I will never know but as we rose in altitude I fought for my life against old friends to protect you sir.
I managed to shoot most of them but the pilot was a tough man by the name of Mario. We fought viciously in the cockpit making the plane fly crazily all over Italy bombing poor innocents. I finally managed to smash his head against the controls when I noticed the G.91 fly beneath me. Mario pulled the explosives and I laughed pointing my finger at him saying he would never hit them because Sky was an excellent pilot.
Right about there three of the gunmen grab me from behind and while I'm struggling Mario attempts to destroy Sky and Soren by chasing them down. I was unable to stop him until I dislocated the other men's arms and snapped Mario's neck. Sky was still able to escape Mario because I couldn't see her plane anywhere so I turned around and came back here.
So as you can see sir the bombings were not my fault nor was the damage done by the pigs Sky's fault. I beg your pardon for this series of disasters."
OOC: I edited that, Del.
I'm a bit upset about Plugg, but I think he's okay. Anyway, I'm glad I made it to top three :)
IC: Firstly, Sand makes it seem as if it's my fault I poured soda over his lap. I was about to hand him the can, but he got annoyed and slapped me, making me spill it over him.
Also, Soren is absolutely right about that Sand messed up the controls. I never said that Sand didn't get in the plane. Sand indeed didn't get on the Italian jet with Soren and I (he was too busy bombing cities), but I saw him go on the plane a bit before he went to use the bathroom, right after we had finished setting up. Now, Soren and I were having a productive discussion of how to improve our work ethic, so it couldn't have been me or him who did this. Sand said he needed to finish setting up something in the plane so I let him go.
When we got on the plane later to go after Sand, we found that soda had been spilled over the controls, completely hindering us and setting us up for failure.
After we crashed into Greenland (I have to confess that the only reason Soren knocked into me is because he had tripped over some soda Sand had left on the floor), I managed to find tha airplane footage - which had amazingly survived the crash. Soren and I saw it together, and it clearly showed that Sand had deliberately poured soda on the controls. He also left Magic Meal on the outside of the plane, which we all know attracts the TNT kamakazi pigs. If he hadn't done this, Soren and I would never had problems with the explosive pigs.
Also, Soren has a point: he probably couldn't hear me over the noise of the plane's engine. And I couldn't yell any louder, so I don't think that was any of our faults there.
I see now that it wasn't Soren's fault. Do not blame him. I would rather you blamed me, sir.
The young pilot looked surprised at Sky.
"You are quick to stab me in the back, you claim I was annoyed at you when I slapped your hand but it was really Soren I was annoyed at because he had just come back with a giant BLT that the Porkarizi gangsters had bribed him with. I then noticed a wasp about to sting Sky's hand so I slapped it off accidently making her spill the drink on me.
So I got up to go get ready as I told my comrades but it was really to go get some fresh cloths from the plane. When I got there I noticed a bottle of Orange Fanta on the floor and picked it up. But the bottle was burning hot and I dropped it all over the controls and floor. I cleaned it up as best I could and left the plane to take my fresh cloths to go change when I noticed a man carrying a bucket of plane paint.
He was an older man and was clearly in pain saying he had been hired to paint our plane by Sky with the special can of paint she had given him personally. I had no idea it was Magic meal and offered to help the old man paint the plane because he was clearly in pain from an old back injury. I checked the paper he had and it had Sky's signature and the orders to paint the plane.
After I was finished painting the man thanked me and we parted and That was the first and last time I ever saw him. For some reason Sky asked an old man to paint our plane in Magic meal. I was simply being kind and had no idea it would jeopardize their safety.
I never knew that it was Magic Meal. I asked the old man to paint our plane because it looked quite worn out - to the point that there were gashes on the outside that may affect our safety. Soren and I bought the paint from a store Sand had recommended to me earlier. We never opened the can (why would we need to?) so we never saw that it actually contained magic meal.
An old man came up to me and said that he desperately needed money. I felt bad for him and offered to give him some for free, but out of pride he refused to receive anythjng without any work on his part - no matter how much I argued. He asked what I was doing with the paint, and I explained, and he said that he could paint the plane and I would pay for him that work and he would be fine with that. He looked a bit frail and I told him I wa concerned, but he brushed me off and said "I'll be fine, young one. Now just give me the paint and some money and run along!" So I gave him a good wad of money and sent him along, out of the goodness in my heart.
And sir, I did have a sandwich in my hand that the Porkzollis gave me as an attempted bribe. They said I could be making a lot of money just like Sandpaw is. But I quickly turned them down, not wanting to get mixed in with the same crowd Sand was involved in.
I put the sandwich in a ziploc bag I found on the plane, because it's covered in Porkzolli finger prints that could tie them to Sand and you and the authorities sir could not only take down a major animal crime family, but also a traitor. That traitor being LT Sandpaw!
In addition, I should add that before this all started...Soren and I were walking along the streets to buy you a conciliatory gift because of the failed missions of the past. We came across a man called Mario. I believe he was the exact same Mario who Sand speaks of, for he mentioned having thirty armed gunmen as well. Even more clearly, he said he was the leader and pilot of a group called the Porkzollis. I had never heard of this weird group before.
Anyway, Mario tried to bribe Soren into giving him information, but he kept refusing, saying, "No, I am loyal to my Overlord." Then, Mario finally fessed up. "You see," he said, "I know we may seem bad, but we actually have good intentions. I know sometimes we do bad things, by it's inly because of a few members who rebel. We need to know the location of the carrier so we can destroy a small part of it (This is where Sand left out some information, they meant only to destroy a small section of the carrier that was perilous). but we are going to spray a special substance called the "IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD" befotehand so your Overlord won't die and neither will anyone else on your carrier. You see, the Porkzollis is actually a special group that works for the government, and we have discovered that this airplane carrier contains a terrible radioactive bomb that will immediately kill anyone standing on it. Your Overlord is in massive danger!"
Soren and I were still skeptical, but after he showed us clear and incontrovertible evidence for this and assured us, "The special substance will envelope the carrier so nobody standing on it will be killed. We are the only ones in the world who have the correct items to destroy the bomb, such as this magical world thingy and a special gun", we were convinced and gave him the location. Soren also took the BLT, because why not? It's free food.
We then found Sand and told him everything that had happened, so it's a shock as to why he was attacking Mario when he knew about this. Perhaps he forgot? Neither Soren or I have any idea why he did this.
Anyway, after Soren and I crashed, we wept because we thought you had died because of what Sand had done. But then a plane came up to us. In the midst of they teammates fighting Sand, a few of the gunmen had survived and had escaped with parachutes, found another plane, and came to us with all the equipment necessary to detroy the bomb in the carrier. We all flew to the carrier. I sprayed the "IT'sS A MAGICAL WORLD" substance to keep you safe and Soren himself destroyed the bomb before it could kill you or anyone else on the carrier, finishing the heroic task. The reason you didn't know of this, Overlord, is that the "IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD" substance is invisible and doesn't have a smell, and the part of the carrier we destroyed was far away from you. We also saw by the time on the bomb that we destroyed it and the part of the carrier it was sitting on with seconds to spare.
Without the actions of Soren and I, I believe you would have died, sir. We were trying to get you a gift, and we gave you the best one of all: your life.
OOC: Best line ever:
"Soren also took the BLT because why not? It's free food."
ROFL
BIC:
Yes sir, everything she said is true.
"I have one more question of Skye. If what Soren did was heroic why did you yell at him to stop?"
OOC: Sorry for not mentioning this earlier, but nice game Plugg! You were always in the funniest situations! ;D ;D
OOC: Thanks, Soren! :D
IC:
Sir, back when I was flying the Italian Jet out of Sand's reach, I did not know that Soren was on my side after all, because he seemed unhelpful during the mission. It was a small misunderstanding, and I believe it did not have any dire consequences. After we crashed because Soren tripped over some soda that Sand had spilled and accidentally knocked into me, I came to better terms with him after we saw the video tape and he and I could talk it out (the engine made it hard for us to hear each other). I at first didn't say everything because I thought Soren or Sand would say it anyway, and I felt I had talked enough and should allow others to speak more. However, later I realized I had to fill in the details, sir.
I believe Sand set us up on purpose and tried to just worm his way out of the terrible mistake he made by not heeding what Soren and I said about the Porkzollis.
Please, sir, I realized that it wasn't Soren's fault. Nor was it mine, I must add.
I hope you keep in mind that we saved your life while you make your decision, which I intend to respect, sir.
"But the only opportunity for him to perform a heroic deed was when he was dropping the pigs. You were never in reach, and afterwards you flew into a glacier. Everything had been explained before hand, I don't understand."

I hope this helps clarify things, sir, and that you heard my whole story that I said not too long ago. Another thing, Soren said in his story that he was throwing out the explosive pigs to stop them from blowing up the plane. In this way, he was heroic because he kept the pigs from destroying the Italian jet.
You may be wondering why I am suddenly so in favor of Soren. Well, saving the Overlord together creates a bond between two people unlike anything before. Earlier when I first spoke, I was still a touch angry at him because I did not understand the full story. But after he explained, I tossed away this bitterness.
IC: Really, though... (Wow I'm scared, and it's not as much for me) I won't be too upset if I get kicked out. I may be completely off here, but it seems like Soren would really like to advance to the next round.
OOC: Kill me if you want and spare Soren...though I still say it was Sand who is responsible for this.
Sir, us flying into a glacier was part my fault because I fell into Sky and kicked the controlls around too much. It pushes us off course quickly and violently. But that part was indirectly my fault.
If it wasn't for Sand, we wouldn't be in this situation.
If your going to eliminate someone, eliminate Sand. If he had never been involved with crime lords in the first place, we would have made out just fine.
OOC:
You can kill me if need be. I don't mind, and the deaths in this round are hillarious. ;D
"Okay, I realize that, but I am wondering because you knew that Soren was performing a heroic deed with the pigs. Why were you yelling at him?"
OOC: Sorry, but I seriously don't remember saying that I knew Soren was performing a heroic deed with the pigs at the time it was happening :/ Can someone quote where I said that? My justification was that I didn't know that he was doing something heroic at that time, but found out later.
OOC: Never mind, I'm getting confused myself. The round will end tomorrow evening.
OOC: Sorry if I made things confusing. It is a lot to take in...
IC: I agree with Soren. We both were trying to do our best to get the Italian Jet and keep it safe as well as protect you.
OOC again: I hope Sand that you understand that Soren and I are not trying to be mean... if people are targeting you, that's actually a bit of a compliment.
Anyway, as fun and interesting and cool as OO is, when we take off all the glimmer and fluff, we realize that it's just a little game, too. I hope we will all will not take things too seriously and also definitely not run into any hard feelings :)
OOC: THE SUSPENSE!

OOC: Hey Guys I already mentioned that they wanted to kill Delthion, I heard them in the bathroom remember ;)
BTW Gaaah I'm so confused with what's going on, I'll try to stay with your guy's story but it might not be totally correct.
BIC: My fellows were in fact simply trying to set me up for some reason. I have no idea why but Sky was clearly in league with the Porkarizi. When they came back and told me about everything they failed to mention my old friends in the Porkarizi gang but merely said your people came and spoke to us about helping the great Overlord with his carrier problems.
I had no idea there was supposed to be a Kind-of-Bombing on your carrier. I believe Sky should have realized that there was no way Mario wanted too help the Overlord. And as for the accusations about me chasing them I already mentioned that was Mario trying to kill them not me. It was because of Soren's lack of focus that Mario and his gang almost succeeded.
And it was Sky's lack of attention that got the plane covered in Magic Meal and attracted the pigs.
And as for the Orange Fanta it was left there by Sky at three hundred degrees. I checked the bottle afterwards and it had her finger prints all over it. The bottle was clearly set up for me to drop on the controls. Why she would do this I don't know but she must really want to get rid of me.
Sir, the bottle was heated to 300 degrees Celcious. It was way too ht for Sky to have planted. It must have been the Porkzollis. They have heat resistant gloves, for their hoves. I've seen them in action, when they threatened me with coals that they were holding with the gloves. Then they tried to bribe me with the sandwich. I took the sandwich, but took nothing else.
And Sand's "old friends" withen the Porkzollis are actually serual killers.
A group of Serial killers That Soren and Sky decided to give information about your location too I might add that I am no longer affiliated with the Porkzollies as well. The overall fact is there are no more Porkzollies because I broke their leaders neck protecting Sky and Soren and yourself sir.
Sir, we know that no one would be able to stand against your might. I thought that leading the serial killer Porkzollis to you would result in you giving tem the eternal punishment and discipline you give you own unworthy servants. They diserve the punishment only the mightiest and grandest of overlords can supply.
However, Sky felt that doing anything like that would be close to dangerous. She protested.
If my actions crossed the line, punish me sir. Sky didn't have anything to do with it.
And Sand didn't break their neck to protect us, he was angry.
He was yelling at the Porkzolli, saying "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME SLOP NOSE??! NOW YOU'RE GONNA PAY!! FEEL MY WRATH YOU WORTHLESS PEICE OF BACON!!"
If it wasn't for Sands anger issues and bad connections, the mission. Wouldn't have fizzled out.
OOC: I was led to believe by your earlier posts that you were soundly convinced that they were simply trying to help the Overlord ;)
OOC: Uh, whatever. I can't even remember.
"Well, I am very confused by all of these jumbled defenses. But one of you has failed me more than the others." As the Overlord speaks you see a glass container surround Sandpaw. He screams and knocks on the glass for a while, but then is silent. "He is sleeping for now, I don't know what I'll do with him yet."
"Anyway," said the Overlord looking at the last two remaining servants. "You will not fail me this time. Now, because I am growing old. You are going to go through three rounds, your first task is to write a poem describing the Spitfire VC. (http://www.flyingheritage.com/images/Slideshows/plane/Spitfire-4.jpg) After this, you will be given a task. But I am still contemplating what the next one will be."
OOC: Really good game LT. Actually, I was so confused at that round that I just rolled a die having assigned 1 and 3 to Soren. 2 and 4 to Skye, and 5 and 6 to you. It rolled a 6. Good game! ;)
OOC: Sorry Sand, I kinda wanted it to to be me I was so confused.
OOC: ;D No hard feelings, Its probably best I don't get the chance to win twice in a row ;)
The Spitfire VC, a poem
Through the bullets and fire,
And in a world at war,
One plane flies higher,
And fights a little more
Undeterred by the foe
The Spitfire pushes ahead
Of only 20,000 strong, though
Freedom and life to afflicted ones, they fed
Quote from: Skyblade on March 29, 2015, 07:51:30 PM
I look into the sky
& see, streaking there's a Spitfire VC. Mostly gray, with white,
red and blue, it's always been so proud and true. With amazing
wings it flies overseas, dropping bombs and feeling free. An Allies' friend of World War 2, this is a
plane that helped them through. A fighter aircraft with a sleek design, it doesn't lack color: it's truly
fine. It's new and improved with the fuselage and wings, better than others its cry will ring. With a
camouflaged look it's hard to see, but when it strikes...it's hard to flee. It's quite amazing, a true
war hero, planes like it are none
to zero. Looking up again
to the plane's eager whine,
I find myself wishing it
could be mine.
This is Skye's and this semi-round Skye has won.
OOC: Now there are two more tasks and this is a best 2 out of 3 if Skye wins the next round, she is the Overlord.
BIC: "Well one of you has done well, but we are still seeing whether you are competent enough to be Overlord. Fetch me a Burnelli CB-16, (http://www.aircrash.org/burnelli/images/cb16_v1.jpg) the original crashed and was destroyed, but a manufacturer somehow made an exact replica of it. He and I are good friends, so all you have to do is ask."
Four days later. "Wow, it didn't even take you weeks to do this! This tells me that you are the most competent pair at ruining things! My sources are telling me that you Skye, were pelting the thing with Airsoft and Paintball guns to make sure it was safe, and Soren rigged TNT under it! EXPLAIN!!!!"
OOC:
O~O
OOC: Hilarious reaction ;D
BIC: Sir, I'm truly sorry. As usual, I was simply trying to do my best to make everything work out right.
I must tell you that you are missing a detail. The Airsoft and paintball guns were actually magic and were scientifically proven to be able to clean planes and make them stronger. I was using them for this very reason.
Soren, on the other hand, put TNT under the plane and tried to blow it up. He then said, "Now you and this plane can both die, Skye!!!" He laughed evily and ran away. I had to remove the TNT and save the plane, which I did. I threw the TNT in a nearby Bottomless Pit of Despair (which was COMPLETELY EMPTY AND I DIDN'T HARM ANYONE) saving the aircraft. I think Soren was trying to set me up.
I hope you see, sir, that I have been trying to be a well-meaning servant.
OOC:
Wow, when I posted there wasn't a new task.
BIC:
Sir, I did say that, but let me explain.
All was going according to plan, we were en route to the meeting place, and Sky had been getting text messages the whole time. She has that really annoyingly loud ringer that says "YOU GOT A TEXTY MESSAGE!!! AREN'T YOU GOING TO READ IT? HUH? ARENT'T YOU? COME'ON, JUST A LITTLE PEEK!"
So I knew every time she got a Text message. Eventually, she left the plane and for a few minutes she was getting text messages. They kept coming up on her home screen, and they were from a certain "Agent Skye". They said to meet at the launch pad in a plane marked G-KELS. The text said "Come alone, and bring the guns. I have the dynamite, and we'll blow the plane up. Then we go and troll that Overlord your always complaining about."
I was afraid for the mission and your sanity sir. So I ran to the meeting site to intercept the goings on. I saw Skye in a plane marked G-KELS. I knew it wasn't our plane, because it wasn't supposed to have markings. Those get put on Tuesday.
Well, I planted some of her dynamite underneath it, trying to thwart their cynical plan. When I planted it, I said that. Notice how I said it:
Quote from: Skyblade on March 30, 2015, 09:50:33 PM
"Now you and this plane can both die, Skye!!!"
I
always refer to Skyblade as Sky. Never Skye. You see, I was talking Skye from Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. She and Sky are friends, and I think the text message is enough to show what was really going on here.
Sir, let me clarify. NOTHING HAPPENED before these events, and afterwards, it was just a bunch of awkward silence.
Eventually, she opened up and she did it because she hates you. I don't sir, and would never do anything like this.
OOC: Can't stop laughing when I read your post, and the Sky/Skye thing was extremely clever ;D Still need to defend myself, though.
BIC:
Quote from: Soren the WarriorI always refer to Skyblade as Sky. Never Skye.
Well, I will admit that I was mistaken about who he was referring to about this, then. but that is a minor thing. Sir, let me explain these accusations.
First of all, my phone ringer. The only reason I had that for my text message is that I needed to hear my texts. I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss anything. Anyway, it is not like it was saying anything hurtful or bad.
Anyway, when I received the first text message and saw that it was so...threatening and mean to you, my Overlord, I flipped out. I tried to tell Soren my concerns but he kept saying, "Yah, I don't care, Sky. Maybe you have something important to say, but I don't want to hear it." He then got right back to his phone; he was installing an app called "Killing an Overlord called Delthion, The real deal". I had no say or part in this and don't know what he thought he was doing. Meanwhile, I kept receiving these terrible texts. Not only was I upset because my friend Agent Skye had gone and betrayed both me and you, Overlord, but I was also upset at Soren for not helping me after everything we had gone through. I knew I would have to talk to him about this app of his, but first I needed to deal with this imminent problem that that renegade Agent Skye was causing.
Quote from: Soren the WarriorEventually, she left the plane and for a few minutes she was getting text messages.
I left the plane to take Agent Skye out before she did anything. I knew it would be risky, but I am willing to do brave things for your safety, sir.
Quote from: Soren the WarriorThe text said "Come alone, and bring the guns. I have the dynamite, and we'll blow the plane up. Then we go and troll that Overlord your always complaining about."
Nobody said that I agreed with these texts. I didn't. I can't control what others send me, but I definitely did not approve. I left my phone with Soren because I wanted him to guard it and I figured that he wouldn't just look at my private stuff. Plus, right before I left, he was preoccupied with doing the app "Killing an Overlord called Delthion, The real deal", which was a game in which the main character tries to kill you, sir. He was doing this and saying, "Oh, I don't care" everytime I tried to explain the situation to him, so I just left. Also, about the "complaining about you". I complained ONLY because you are so cool and and I wished I could be as good as you. But I really don't harbor any resentment towards you; I was simply thinking of my own self improvement.
As for the guns, haha! Agent Skye was in for a big surprise. I brought the guns she was talking about – as well as the other weapon I got – to the other plane so I could take her out! And I did, I will have you know. Shot her and bound her up. I called up the police, and she's in jail now, because of my efforts. Soren didn't help me defeat Agent Skye.
EDIT: Missed this edit
Quote from: Soren the WarriorEventually, she opened up and she did it because she hates you.
I only said that because Agent Skye was still there at the time, and I wanted to trick her into thinking that I was on her side so I could defeat her better and more unexpectedly. It worked, by the way. Thanks to my trick, she didn't know what was coming!
While Sky did do a good deed in stopping Sky, I wasn't helping her initially because earlier she kept going ON AND ON AND ON about "Oh, he's so shy. I think he would look great in a tux. What do you think, would he look good? I think he would, oh he's so sweet. Huh, what do you think?" "I don't know Sky." "Oh, he's just perfect." She was tied to her phone, talking about this "Ultra-dreamy boy" and for 6 hours went ON AND ON about it! She kept asking me if he liked her, and I said "I don't know Sky." And she kept coming back, "Soren, this is important, it's life or death!!: Do you think this hair style makes me look fat?"
So you see why I said what I said. It was sorta the boy who cried wolf, or in this case, the Sky that cried wolf.
And the text came up on her lock screen, how could I not read it! Especially when it was ringing so loud. I didn't have a chance to help her defeat Agent Skye because Sky had lost all credibility. The entire time before the mission started, I was trying to sleep, and she kept asking these ridiculous questions.
Maybe if Sky hadn't been on her phone the whole time, none of this would have happened.
Sir, I need to clarify some things.
Firstly, I must confess...okay, I do have a crush on the guy Soren mentioned. By the way, Soren has no idea who this guy is. However, let me explain more about this. This guy is an expert plane maker, and we have been close friends for many, many years. I wanted to buy you a gift, Overlord. And just to make it clear, my intentions were good and it was a good gift I had in mind: since you like planes, I was going get you a plane that is perfectly fine and has nothing wrong with it. It's just a great plane, sturdy and good looking. Unfortunately, I know nothing about building planes. So, I contacted my close friend to help me by building the plane. He replied, "Of course, Sky, I am very willing to help you with this. I like your Overlord - he seems a very nice guy - and you are such a great friend. And you are so special." He is so sweet and kind, how can I not like him? Anyway, a crush is not something that one can control.
So, yes, I couldn't help gush about him to Soren a bit. Since he's my friend, I thought he would listen to me and give me advice. But he seemed uninterested. Normally I wouldn't talk and talk if he didn't want to hear it, so I tried to change the subject and tell him about the gift me and the guy were getting for the Overlord. But Soren said, "I don't want to help you get a gift for the Overlord. I hate our Overlord, Sky." And then he shunned me. I was shocked. And he wasn't listening. He kept ignoring me, so I tried to grab his attention by talking about the guy I liked. I was hoping that the topic of love would grab his attention and make him listen to me so I could talk to him about more serious matters and make him see reason! I had heard a rumor that Soren likes me. Also, I didn't know he was trying to sleep. He didn't tell me.
I tried and tried, but he didn't want to listen to me, when I had so much to say. So, I gave up on making him see reason. And I went after Agent Skye, as I already told. However, Soren didn't help me or the plane when it was clear that we were both in trouble. At one point, Agent Skye got a gun to my head. "Help me, Soren! She's going to kill me!" I had yelled, but Soren said, "I don't want to help you, Sky!", shoved his fingers in his ears, and started singing the My Little Pony theme song while doing the chicken dance. I managed to knock the gun out of Agent Skye's hand - it was a narrow escape.
At another point, Agent Skye (who really fights better than me) got out and ran to the plane, the real one we were supposed to get back, yelling, "Now I'll destroy your Overlord's plane!" I yelled at Soren to stop him, because I was tied up in ropes. Instead, he started eating some tacos and said, "I don't care if she destroys the Overlord's plane."
I managed to get a hand free and used a wall phone to call the police. They showed up just in time before Agent Skye was about to destroy your, yes your, plane. Considering that Soren didn't help me and also was using that app, "Killing and Overlord called Delthion, The real deal", I think I know who to blame really belongs on.
I think Sky is leaving out something important:
She gifted me that app. Said it would help my "employment situation with the Overlord Delthion."
I tried the app, but it's not that fun. Sorta addictive, but not all that great. Like Flappy Bird. Anyway, it's about you being chased by a bunch of rabies-infected Sky's, with them trying to eat your face. It's weird. And Sky had originally created it with her hacker agent friend, Agent Skye.
And no. I don't have a crush on Sky. Why would I have a crush on someone who has failed you again, sir?
And she kept saying "The Overlord is gonna be so happy". I wasn't paying attention because what does she know about overlords? The app she made is just about killing them!
And when Sky told me to stop Sky, I thought she was talking about the game. She kept saying "isn't the game so fun?" I told her I didn't want to play, but she had become obsessed with it. She held a knife and said "PLAY. THE. GAME. SOREN." The game has a 2 player mode, so I had to play with her. She was attacking the plane that the game version of you were flying, and was saying "LOOK AT MY AVATAR, TOTALLY SLAYING THAT DELETION DUDE! I'M GOING TO MAKE HER BLOW UP THE PLANE!"
That must have been when Skye attacked her. I was done with her stupid games, and said "I'm not going to help you Sky!" (She is so insistent.)
Anyway, I had my back turned, because who can stand that "sympathy face" that she gives everyone when she wants something?
So you see, I didn't think she was serious when she was talking about the real plane. I thought it was just the game.
Sky and the other Skye have ruined the mission sir.
OOC: I'm gonna post a defense, give me a bit of time.
OOC: Wait, we can do that?^
Just say we're working on a reply? Man, I could have won already if I knew that. ;D
OOC: ...?
BIC: Sir, I did do all that, but it was to test Soren. I didn't really mean any of it.
You see, I had heard from Soren's closest friends that Soren is planning to overthrow/get rid of/kill you, and dispose of me in the process. I knew that Soren has made mistakes in the past, but I was determined to not believe these. However, I started to worry. This was coming from his closest friends, and they seemed very genuine. Plus, what if it was true? It would be terrible if something happened and I knew something bad could happen but didn't do anythjng. So, I decided to take action. But first, I wanted to test Soren just in case it was a lie. I didn't want to stir up unnecessary trouble.
So, I gifted him the app and went through the trouble of pretending to be against you all so I could see Soren's reaction, and whether he did plan to kill you. He seemed loyal about the app thing, but is could have been a cover-up. And considering the other things that happened during this mission, I wouldn't be so quick to trust him still.
Anyway, I think it was pretty clear that I wasn't talking about the game during the fight with Agent Skye. She personally yelled before she was about to kill me, "Sky, you're about to die! I will kill you! Any last words?" And later when she was running to blow up our plane, she yelled loudly enough for us both to hear that she was going to do that.
"Well well well. I think that your excuse Skye, is rather flimsy. Soren is the victor for this mini-round. Skye you have disappointed me. But you have one more opportunity to redeem yourself."
"Now your goal this time is to go to the Facebook headquarters and destroy it. It is vile and depressing! Destroy it and you shall be Overlord. Fail to destroy it and you shall be destroyed."
One week later. "My word! Is there anything that you can do?! You are both hopeless imbeciles! You steal Facebook's data flash-drive which is good. But then you make it so that whoever gets on Facebook for a moment is hypnotized to constantly get on it! Explain yourselves quickly or face termination!"
I had brought some TNT so we could destroy the headquarters, simple and as you said. I was just putting it on when Soren yanked it from me and said, "I'll sabotage this mission!" and threw it right in the middle of an area with a bunch of Facebook guards. Naturally, they noticed us. I dragged Soren into a hiding place and we weren't caught.
As his until the coast was clear, Soren said, "I'm going to make sure you get blamed for this, Sky. You know I hate the Overlord. I'll find a way to destroy both you and him. And then right after that, I'll have a BLT to celebrate."
"Stop it, Soren," I replied, seriously getting worried about these things he was saying and wondering why he is so obsessed with BLTs, "We need to do this mission. I'm going to report you to the Overlord right after this."
"Do as you please!" he responded, "He won't believe a word you say."
I told him, "Stop. We need to do this mission right." I led him to the room where I stole the Facebook's data flash drive." However, Soren suddenly started singing the Little Einsteins theme song in a really loud voice. This arranged guards, and we had to run away. They chased us with guns. At one point, Soren was about to get shot because he was break dancing in the middle of the hallway instead of fleeing. But I pushed him out of the way and saved his life.
We entered a room to hide. While I was frantically looking for something like a weapon we could use to help in the mission, Soren must have been doing that weird hypnotizing people to constantly log onto Facebook thing you mentioned. I heard an alarm say, "Hypnotizing people to get on Facebook activated" and Soren on a computer. I tried to change it back, but more guards burst in with bombs and blew up the room as we ran out.
We barely escaped. I suggested that we return to the headquarters and try again. We had to do our best. But Soren said, "Forget it, Sky. It's okay if we don't destroy the headquarters. I'm leaving."
And he stomped off. I tried to persuade him, but he knocked me out with a giant BLT. I woke up here.
OOC: I actually feel bad when I go all out like this.
OOC: This has to be the longest last round ever ;D
OOC: I haven't participated in this round, but this is a really good round. Even with less people you've made it amazing! I just want to say good job everyone! *claps*
OOC: Thank you, Sam! I have enjoyed it. And Sand, so true.
Soren, you need to post :( C'mon, please tell us you were joking.
OOC: I claim the right to post later tonight. I can't at the moment.
EDIT: I'm exerciseing that right now.
BIC: Sir, I can explain everything.
Sky had been talking to someone on the phone on our way to the Facebook headquarters via Honda Accord Sky rented without my knowledge or recommendation. She for some reason had the phone call on Bluetooth throughout the car. She told me "I want you to hear this." A voice came over the phone and it said "Sky, you have a new mission. Put what Delthion the Overlord said to the side for the moment. Here are your orders: You are to install a hypotonic subroutine into Facebook's code that it would make everyone get on Facebook even more! You are to frame Soren for this, and make sure he knows that if he speaks of it, he dies by decapitation. You are to act like you placing TNT, but we all know that it's really signal boosters within the TNT. They will help quicken the process of total control of Facebook, so we can make everyone on it 24 hours a day, 7 days a year. Place them, then install the subroutine via USB flash drive. You get all that?"
"Yes my overlord, I did." She said.
"Very well, James Gryphon out." The voice said.
This James dude that was always messing up our lives was impersonating an overlord!
Sky turned to me and sayed: "I implicitly trust James, and hate your overlord Delthion. I hate you, and will end you both."
You see, I was referring to the mission, it was the one James gave to Sky. And by overlord, I ment James. I did say "fake overlord James." For some reason Sky keeps leaving out the important details.
And who doesn't love BLTs?
I knew you wouldn't belive what a traitor would say if she was conspiring with James Gryphon. That's what I ment when I said I didn't care what she said.
Anyway, when we made it to the headquarters of Facebook is when things started to get REALLY weird.
She tried to plant the signal boosters within the unarmed TNT. I tried to ro event her form doing it by tossing it out to the guards. But Sky was able to cover her tracks and keep going.
When we got to a empty hallway, she said for me to start breakdancing when she said so, or she will blow me up with the headquarters. She had a gun, so I did what she said. At one point, she told me to "drop it like its hot and dance." So I did, and she pretended to save my life. All to try to draw your pity sir.
When we finally arrived at the server room where we could blow up Facebook for good, she whacked me on the head with her 6 pound laptop. When I woke up, she had just finished downloading the subroutine that said on the screen: "SUBROUTINE ACTIVE. HAVE A NICE DAY, SKYBLADE." She smiled and sat peacefully. She grabbed me and dragged me into a tiny room to hide. She was looking for a weapon when I tried to disable her virus she installed, but it was too late. It was already in affect.
I was so made at her from messing up the mission, I called my good buddy at Nasa. I told him that I "needed him to blow up Facebook headquarters when I leave. I need to get the traitor to the Overlord Delthion." He said "Anything for his most esteemed Overlord Delthion." And tried to blow up the headquarters using one of their secret orbital phaser defense units. But Sky had erected a signal deflector when she uploaded the subroutine virus. Once we left the headquarters, I told NASA buddy Steve to blow we the place. But Sky's signal deflector knocked the beam from the headquarters to a small astoroid on the east side of the Orion Belt. No harm done there, except for Sky completely messing up the mission. I dragged Sky's unconscious body out from the Facebook headquarters for you to deal with sir, but her damage was done already.
You see, when I said "We don't need to destroy the headquarters", I also told Sky "Steve from Nasa is going to as a favor for me."
I was only following your direction to the letter sir. Sky was the disruption that wreaked the whole mission.
"Since you have had nothing to say to this Skye, Soren is the victor!" You see the overlord press a button and Skye falls to the earth. "She has a parachute. I have contacted all of the government agencies in the world. Especially those of dictators they are all after Skye and they will find her eventually."
"Soren, you have still failed me greatly. So I will bestow this burden on you, you will become Overlord." The Overlord raises a hand to forestall the questions. "But...but! You will have to hire servants just like me. You will see your empire fall before the might of incompetence. You shall rise beyond all measures. Then fall to depths in seen. As for me, I am going to the countryside. Where no one will ever see me again. Good-bye!"
OOC: Great round guys! Soren you triumphed at last! And Skye Skye Skye!!! If you had only responded to this final post the title would have been within your grasp! But there is always another round! ;D ;D
Quote from: Finding the right balanceSoren, you can take over for Round 15 of Overlord's Orders (Besides, I don't think I would win even if I did post. I would be like dead meat fighting on the way to the slaughterhouse in that last round!). You're going to be a great Overlord.
;)
I might be in Round 15. Thing is that as cool as OO is, it tends to take up time and be nerve-wracking! So I'll see. This is really enjoyable, though. And congrats Soren!
It was a terrific round. The final showdown was a lot like what I'd hoped OOX would go like (with me vs. Tam). Sky's performance was arguably the best ever from a newcomer. She had a lot of terrific lines, but my favorite post was her very last one, especially this part:
Quote...Soren said, "I'm going to make sure you get blamed for this, Sky. You know I hate the Overlord. I'll find a way to destroy both you and him. And then right after that, I'll have a BLT to celebrate."
I have to say that I was extremely disappointed when I heard Sky wasn't going to reply. It was like someone taking a bowl of good salsa and pouring butter into it. Soren winning was by no means assured; like I've said before, a great player in this game can get their way out of anything, and Sky's proven to be that. You just need the writing skill and the confidence to know that you can do it.
My other favorite line is LT's, which Sky already quoted, about the plane tickets.
Grats to Delthion, Soren, Sky and all of the other players for making XIV a success.
OOC: Thank you :) Just because you said that, I think I'm coming back for Round 15. This is so cool!
And the part where James Gryphon randomly comes in in Soren's last post made me laugh out loud.
Thanks! I never thought I was gonna win! Sky, your awesome at this, especially for your first time! Try round 15!
I'll be working on it in the coming weeks. Hopefully it will be up and running soon.
Haha everyone, good game to Soren and Sky my victorious rivals. That was a hard won victory for Soren and he has been at the runner up for some time now so its nice to see him win.
*Gives Soren a high five*
And here's my favorite line from this round, I thought it was incredibly funny ;D

BIC: Indeed, as everybody says, I am the expert of airplane mites. As a matter of fact, they are so ugly I chose to hide them from Soren because he might overreact to the sight of them. Alas, he did see them, and as a result he threw cantaloupes at us all,
Hahaha
