A Little This and That (Feel free to contribute)

I remember we used to have a thread like this is FS. It was hilarious.

Scene 1 begins as camera focuses on several devs, surrounding an oak meeting table, and chuckling quietly to themselves. The wallpaper has pictures of all sorts of Glitchy things against a white background, with labels saying what they are. A Butterfly Milker decorates one wall, while a Piglet adorns another. The boss at the head of the table grins, and claps his hands several times to get the attention of his employees.

Stoot: *grinning smugly* So, have they received the rumor? About us opening on the 12th?
Kevbob: Yes boss. I bet right now, they're all at their computers, slack jawed and wide eyed, and going totally NUTS. They're so incredibly addicted now, so I bet we could get them to gift their cars to us for a week of Glitch *evil chuckle*
Stoot: So, when do you think we'll REALLY open? This is going to be so fun! *laughs evil laugh*
Kevbob: Let's keep em waiting for a few more days. I bet by Friday they'll be in need of counselling. 
Eric: Ok, but.... *clearly hesitating* Don't you think they'll come and get us once they realise that we are toying with them, while pushing out features that we already planned, done, and wrote the program for? 
Stoot: Nah, there's no way they'll figure out where we really are. They'll think we're either in Vancouver or San Francisco. There's no way they'll know we're really in LA.

*Alarm blares immediately*

Stoot: I guess I stand corrected.
Eric: Uhh..... I think it's them...... it looks like a mob of them middle aged ladies, and uh-oh....... I think they just took out one of our security guys........ And the potted plant..... and Beefcake, he must have sounded the alarm after seeing them on his trip to get coffee.......... and OH MY GIANT, MY CAR! A GROUP OF THEM JUST FLATTENED MY CAR!!!!!
Stoot: HIDE!!!!

*scene fades to black*

So, what do you think? I'll be posting sequels if you think this is cool.
ETA: The list of abbreviations have gotten pretty long. Here are several.
MALs: Middle Aged Ladies. Ongoing joke, brought over by FS, about how no one but middle aged ladies play the game. Or express violence when not being able to play. 
RU: Retractable Umbrella. One of the primary MAL weapons.
RUWMALs: Retractable Umbrella Wielding MALs. See above.
AFAP: As Fast as Possible. Like ASAP.
WT: Walkie Talkie.
ROFLMAOPIMP: Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off pissing in my pants (try saying that quickly, 3 times) . How our writers here hope you react to this thread. 
Cast
RM: Rascalmom. It's her initials. One of the leading ladies in the screenplays. Writes scenes, sometimes.
Mare: Full name Marebito. Also another leading lady.
KkC: Me. Also initials. Instigator of thread, and occasionally acts like a gator.
Many other people, probably way too long a list, who I'm extremely thankful for the support. And thanks for allowing us to use your names. 
Devs: Developers. List and positions here (credits to Lellie for that).

  • The new guy came just in time for his share of the drama! Mwahahaha.....

    Chapter 2, Scene 5: The New Recruits
    Jono jumps as a few knocks are heard on the jet's doors. It is absolutely still for a moment. Stoot peers out of peep hole.
    Stoot: Relax guys, it's just the new guy.
    Others: NEW GUY???!!!!!
    Stoot: Guess I forgot to mention it. Oh well. Guys, meet kt. Kt, here's the team..... well, sort of. This is some of us nerds. The rest of us are either stuck in a fish shaped origami box, or sneaking around the TSGHQ. 
    kt: こんにちは。わたしは たかはし けいた です。

    Stunned silence follows.

    Myles: Good thing I took a translation course last year...... Unfortunately, I slept through most of it.
    kt: Hahaha! Just joking guys, I speak English as well. I do origami, so I might be able to get your staff out of the fish shaped origami box you mentioned.
    Stoot: So, I guess you're going undercover to try to rescue the rest.
    kt: Ok, sure! Where's my gadgets?

    Stunned silence...... again......

    kt: It's just that, in movies, they always have gadgets........
    Stoot: Well, we do have a walkie talkie for you...... You use it to keep in touch with us and the others.
    kt: Ok. Well, hope they don't get me. 

    The new dev steps out of plane, really hoping that he had been given at the very least, a stealth suit.

    Cut to:

    Vicky Alice and Jennyanydots are being briefed by Marebito. The rest of The Extorters are busy biting off the heads of the 2 bad boys who were on CCTV duty. 

    Marebito: Ok, you girls, guard the fish shaped box, ok? We made it out of bed sheets and bathrobes, so in theory it would hold. Guard it till we figure out what to do to them. Put th-
    RM: YOU LET THEM COME IN, TOTALLY WITHOUT KNOWING!!!!!! WHO KNOWS WHAT WERE THEY DOING IN HERE IN THAT ENTIRE HOUR THAT YOU SPENT WATCHING US DOING THE MACARENA WITH THE ROOKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN??????????!!!!!!!!!!
    KkC: IDIOTS!!!!
    Marebito: Shh, you guys, keep it down over there. I'm trying to brief the girls over here.

    Marebito turns her attention back to Vicky and Jenny.

    Mare: So, put these earplugs on. They will only block your hearing if kakul starts chanting again.
    Vicky, Jenny: Yes, ma'am!

  • Heckes in a handbag! The dark force is gathering momentum ..

    Thank you, Vicky for taking Glitch Dog home with you.  Apparently the devs are too busy to miss it.  Are you ok for food?  I have a cunning plan to exchange Glitch Dog for a haiku later.

    I think it is time to drop another inspi-bomb:
    * Where is BAD BOY Joe Blow and his Crack Levitation Ordnance-carrying MAL Cougar Troop (CLOMCT)?
    * Will Mare able to finish constructing the fiendishly clever Pixel-Metal Magnet and do "something" to the Supersonic TS jet and/or the constantly renewable dev armour?
    * Will Brib and her new-found rook allies be able to make a difference?
    * Should Ebil and Hank report soonest to their now required by-weekly performance review? .. well I guest they have already had it .. kkc and I posted at the same time, lol
    * Will Hab come up with yet another dev-defying conction?

    .. which reminds me, Haaabbb!! can you please frog me some of that new stuff .. my splines is in dire need of reticulation!

    *exhales*

  • Chapter 2 Scene 5.5

    *After spending way too long in the hospital due to the odd effects of dancing to Hank's music combined with the asbestos dust from Essie's crashing through the ceiling, Holly returns to the group*
    Holly to Marebito and the others: Wow, that was a horrible experience. I was only trying to get the devs to write a haiku. The music came on and I couldn't help but dancing, but then there was this horrible crash and the next thing I remember I was eating messy fry-up in the hospital wondering what had happened.
    Marebito: It's ok Holly it was because of the asbestos. You were given some Wine of the Dead through an IV and you'll be fine now.
    Holly: But what did I miss? I must have been gone a long time because I see Jennyanydots won the contest for her walk-on. Did the game open full time yet?
    Marebito: No. It's still in beta and not going to be playable till the 12th still. Jennyanydots won the contest because she was the only one who entered.
    Holly: Hmm. Ok, well what's our new plan then?
    Marebito: Well, the Angels are in a fish-shaped origami box and the devs escaped on their Supersonic Jet. Divine went to figure out what they are up to and Brib has converted the rooks to our side.
    Jennyanydots: Can I use my game show ticket now to spin the wheel?
    Marebito: NO are you crazy? You should have read the fine print better. You have to complete several challenges first before you even get to the final round to THINK about spinning that wheel. Hey, do you have a teleportation token in your purse?

  • Aw, shucks. I thought maybe I was deemed nifty enough to win. *kicks dirt* But it sounds like a real walk-on, too, since I'm certain to have my behind soundly kicked when the new guy shows up... that, or I'll end up as a very small piece in a very elaborate construction! So excited...

    *waitwaitwait*

  • (Informs Holly that it was Brib, not me that enlisted the Rooks' help. Also wonders where is RM.)
    And now I'm out of inspiration. Just as I'm thinking to write the climax too. Maybe if I rest up, I'll think of something.

  • Ha Ha!  This is some great stuff.  You guys are soooo creative.  I've been spending Sunday Brunch eating messy fry up and having the best laffs.  Better than Sunday Comics.  Thanks for everyone's creativity, cant wait for more :)

  • Yep, pretty sure I've been red-shirted, but I *did* only win a walk-on. ;)

    If anyone's come up with a spreadsheet to keep track of who's doing what where to whom... I can't keep everything straight, no wonder we haven't had any updates!

  • @Holly, no, it wasn't you......... my inspiration dried up. But after a good night's sleep...... well........

    Chapter 2.6- The Snake, and the Plan.

    A knock is heard on the supersonic jet's door. Everyone inside freezes. Myles! answers the door. 

    Myles(confused): There's no one here.
    Jono: I have a bad feeling about this.............
    Stoot: You may be scared, Jono, but please get your slimy hand off my arm.
    Jono: I'm not touching you.

    The camera pans left, to show Stoot's arm..... and what's on it.

    Stoot: SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!
    Serguei: ARGH!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!
    Jono: HERE, A LIGHTER!
    Myles: THAT AIN'T A LIGHTER JONO, IT'S A HIGHLIGHTER!
    All: ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

    All a sudden, the snake morphs into a cloud of smoke. Hysterical laughter seems to be coming out of it. The smoke solidifies. In it's place, the Divine One stands....... with a camcorder in her hands.

    Cut to:

    Annapeee makes sure that the coast is clear, then turns a corner. She bumps into someone.

    annapeee: Hey, watch where you're going!
    E-yon: You wa- Oh. It's you.
    jdawg: Yay, we found annapeee!
    annapeee: You guys where searching for me? That's so sweet! <3
    jdawg: Uhh....... it was Stoot's orders.
    E-yon: Let's get back to the jet.
    annapeee: No, the Myles Angels are captured. And I have a plan to rescue them.......

  • Vicky, I think we need a plan. Is your vacuum anything like the Mega Maid's from Spaceballs, by chance?

  • Chapter 2.7- The Escape

    Vicky stands next to Jenny, having hijacked a vacuum from the weapon storage room. Jenny grabs a pair of X-Ray glasses. The Rooks and the Extorters sit around a table.

    Rook: Jack of Spades, Ace of Hearts, and Ten of Clubs, equals 21...... score! 
    RM: Why do you keep winning? You must be cheating.
    Rook: That's not true. I don't win all the time. I only won the last 10 games.
    KkC: We only played 10 games. You won all of them.
    Brib: You're not playing fair!
    Mare: Ok, whatever. I thought we were supposed to be discussing strategies? Why are we playing Blackjack?
    Jenny: Uhhh.... guys........
    RM: Shh, just keep watch on them. Let us do our stuff.
    Vicky: It's just that-
    Brib: Shhh!
    KkC: Let's play another round. If the Rook wins again, that means she's cheating.
    Rook: For the last time, I'm not cheating!
    Vicky: Guys........ The Angels..........

    The Extorters turn towards box, which was rapidly expanding.

    RM: Oh crap it's gonna blow!!!!
    Mare: No worries, I'll be fine.
    Brib: But what about us?
    KitkatCat: Not all of us are on Rookswort you know.
    Jenny: It's still swelling.
    KkC: TAKE COVER!!!!!!

    Cut to: 

    E-yon, jdawg and annapeee watch from the confines of the heating vent. They watch in muted fascination as the box swells up to 5X its original size. But still the box remains bloated and intact. It swells just a bot more, then........

    What happened to the fish shaped origami box? Will anyone prove that the Rook cheats at Blackjack? Find out next time, on A Little This and That!

  • You know Vicky, can you post a scene? My inspiration has severely dried up. 
    Posted 17 months ago by KitkatCat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I can try! Uhhhh Lets see...

    Scene: Extorters huddle behind Jenny who is wearing her red shirt, while the box threatens to burst at any moment.

    Jenny: Uh guys? Why are you all behind me?
    KKC: We are protecting you from behind! You should be thanking us!
    Jenny: Oh.....
    Mare: Still isn't popping!
    Vicky: Maybe that Rook should go put its beak in it...
    Brib: What! But it could be killed!
    Vicky:And...
    Rook: I won't do it!!!
    Vicky: Fine! Anybody else got a better plan?
    RM: Run!!!

    Scenes fades to black as they run from the box and straight into the waiting net of the devs.

  • Scene 8 of Chapter 2

    Divine, camcorder in hand, giggles maniacally. The Mission Control devs are dumbfounded. Still she laughs.......until she hears a distant boom.

    Divine: What was THAT? You guys better not have anything to do with that.
    Jono (glances at CCTV footage): Seems like the Angels managed to escape afte-
    Divine: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????????????????????!!!!! My friends are in there!!!!!!!!

    Marebito, shaken, TPs to the jet. 

    Mare: Bad news, Divin-
    Divine: WHAT IS IT? I heard a boom!
    Mare: That's it. The fish shaped box didn't hold. They're out, and RM, KkC and Brib will be out of commish for a while.
    Divine: But you?
    Mare: Rookswort. 
    Divine: Oh.

  • I copied this from a post in the Freshness thread: "Someone said it was sledge hammer to nail because there are simpler ways of overcoming the issues that Stoot mentioned that this would solve. Don't think of it that way. Think of it as putting a grand mechanical clock in the city square rather than a sundial. More complex, more elegant. Sure it's prone to problems but Stoot and team of clock makers will be behind the scenes fine tuning as is runs. " Can someone write in a grand mechanical clock scene? I think that would be awesome. Credit of course must go to Cap'n Bob for the idea.

  • (Yes, this scene involves the aftermath of the Big Boom. With MALs armed to the teeth with brollies and handbags, thought you would expect an explosion or two as well. Didn't you?)

    Scene 8/ Chapter 2

    INT: What remains of the hideout.

    The devs struggle to their feet, unable to believe their luck. The Extorters lie around them. The Rook has decided to go home till the tumult dies down. The bad boys, the cougars and the elite MAL fighting squads are also down. Yet, they are totally unscathed. 

    Jade: Ok, now we are out. Let's get outta here!

    Annapeee, jdawg and E-yon crawl out of what remains of the heating vents. They are miraculously unharmed due to being in the heating vents. 

    jdawg: Yay, we found you! Let's get outta here.
    Aradia: Ok. 
    E-yon: Pardon? Can't hear over the ringing.
    annapeee: Let's get out of here anyway. Hurry.

    Mare and the Divine One suddenly materialize. 

    Divine: Oh ho, so you think you're just gonna walk out of here? Not so fast! ROOOOOOKS!
    Mare: Divine, um, The Rook took them with her when she flew off. Didn't I tell you? 
    Divine: Whaa- Ok. But I still have one trick up my sleeve...... Mare, the lever!

    Mare pulls a lever that can be thought to be something it is not by someone with twisted imagination. The remaining structures instantly shake while the ground below the Angels and the other 2 devs feet shimmer out of existence. In it's place is a vast sundial. Mare and Divine are safe on Divine's trusted steed, Lightning. 

    Divine: Rayex Alreadas Potentas Imperius.......... VERITAS!
    Mare: Wow. What does that even mean?
    Divine: No clue. It's something Cosma taught me. Now see? They're in a vast intergalactic area known as Plexus. And they can't come out if we pull the lever again because this giant sundial is the only way into or out of it. Neat, huh?

    Mare pulls the lever. The giant sundial suddenly disappears. No carnage this time. 

    Mare: And now you tell me? We could have stuck them there the whole time!
    Divine: Uh, yeah.... the thing is, the sundial completely wrecks the surrounding area when it is revealed....... but now that the whole place is wrecked, who cares?
    Mare: Oh well. This hideout WAS pretty neat......... wait a sec, where the heck did Holly, KkC and RM go?
    Divine: Oops. Seems like more than the devs got into Plexus.........

    *scene ends and Mare and Divine begin frustrated hair-tearing out*
