@phil Yup, that's exactly the point. *joins plas in looking to the side and whistling* @plas I know! My sentiments exactly!

*MiKi slowly comes out from where she's hiding. Then she sees the octopus and almost starts to hide again.* "OMIGOD IT'S AN-- wait, octopi are friendly, right? Hehe, sorry," she says sheepishly.

*MiKi turns to see the shark. She screams.* "OMIGOD A SHARK!!!!!" *She swims quickle and hides behind Shad.* OOC: I have a feeling Shad is quite a bit bigger than me. I debated hiding behind Loki, but a hippocampus'centaur thing is probably bigger than a seal.

Since I remembered this joke, I felt like posting it before I forgot. So Timmy was a relatively young boy. He was walking to school one morning when a purple squirrel sprang out of the bushes and scared him half to death. He freaked out, screamed, and stood rooted to his spot in shock for several minutes after the squirrel ran away. Then he remembered he had school, and hightailed to the school. But he was still late. The teacher asked him, "Timmy, why are you late?" Timmy, out of breath, replied, "Sorry... *pant pant* But a purple.... *pant pant* squirrel jumped out at me.....*pant pant* and--" "TIMMY!" cried the teacher. "I never thought you would say something like that! Go to the principal's office! NOW!" Confused, Timmy made his way to the principal's office. The principal asked, "Well, hello there, Timmy! What are you doing here? You never get in trouble." Timmy replied, "Well, I was late to school because a purple squirrel--" The principal jumped in his chair, almost knocking his desk over. "TIMMY!" he cried. "Why would you say such a thing? Get out of this school! You've been expelled!" More than a little puzzled, Timmy despondently [vocab word! yay!] made his way back home. At home, his mother saw him come in and asked, "Why Timmy, you're supposed to be at school. Why are you here?" "Well," said Timmy, hoping his mother could help him understand what was going on. "I was late to school and I tried to tell the teacher why and she sent me to the principal and the principal expelled me and I don't know why." "And why were you late, Timmy?" his mother asked. "A purple squirrel--" "TIMMY! How dare you! No son of mine says such horrible things!" screamed his mother in shock and anger. "Get out of this house! You've been disowned! Don't ever set foot here again!" So Timmy proceeded to the police station. The officer on duty asked him, "Hey there Timmy! Are you here to report a crime?" "No, sir," replied Timmy. "Then why are you here?" asked the officer. "Well, I've been kicked out of my classroom, my school, AND my house, and I was hoping you could help me." "And why were you kicked out?" "Well, a purple squirrel--" "TIMMY! What did you just say? Get out of this station before I arrest you!" screamed the police officer. So Timmy went to the mayor's office. The mayor asked, "Hello, son! And what are you doing here this fine day?" "Well, I've been kicked out of my classroom, my school, my home, AND the police station, and I think I know why, but it makes no sense and I was hoping you could explain it to me." "And what do you think is the reason, son? Maybe I can help you." "Well, I think it's because I said 'purple squirrels' but that makes no--" "TIMMY!" screamed the mayor. "You of all people should know not to say that! Oh, the horror! What is the youth becoming? Get out of this city!" So Timmy made his way towards Washington, D.C., and, eventually, the White House. He met the president, who said, "Timmy! What a surprise! What are you doing here?" Now more confused then ever, Timmy asked, "Well, Mr. President, I have a bit of a dilemma and I was hoping you could help me out?" "And what may that dilemma be?" asked the president. "Well, sir, I was kicked out of my classroom, my school, my home, the police station, AND my city," replied Timmy, ticking them off on his fingers. "And I have a theory, but it makes no sense. I think it's because I said 'purple squirrels', but--" "TIMMY!" said the president in shock. "I never expected such a well-bred young boy such as you to say something as horrible as that! Get out of this country!" So Timmy started making his way to the airport to board a flight to England. As he was crosing a busy street, he was so absorbed in his puzzlement that he didn't notice the semi barreling down on him. The semi wasn't able to stop in time and ran him over, instantly killing him. Desperate plea for forgiveness: I didn't mean it! Please don't kill me! Also, credit is due here as well. I credit hotterthnfire for telling me this joke and almost being murdered in the process because he wasted five minutes of my life. Yes, it really is that long told aloud.

OOC: @Molly Fine. Have it your way. Kidding. I just kinda thought that maybe I would already know that in-game, since we all supposedly know each other kinda well.... At least, that's the kind of vibe I got. "Hey, Shad, I'm curious. Are you and Molly sisters, friends, or just strangers who get along really really well?"

*MiKi cocks her head to the side.* "RFID? What's that?" OOC: @Shad I had to ask, since it's been bugging me a bit: Are you and Molly friends, or sisters, or just two strangers who get along really really well?

Eh, for some insane reason, my comp started working again, and BD is fine now. IDK what happened.... @thalia If it's not working for you now, I had the same problem with quick reply. But at the top right corner of the blue box, there's a little arrow. Click that and it'll give you the stuff.

PAPER

Wow, MoMa's answer seems so obvious now...

*Because MiKi was the first to start feeding, she was the first to stop. Because she was the first to stop feeding, she is left with a lot of time to think. While she is thinking, she come across a starting discovery.* "Does anybody else wonder how that creepy lady knew all our names?"

Yeah, I'm having issues opening spoilers and uprepping people. For the spoilers, I'm Quoting and Canceling the posts, but that gets kinda annoying. And I don't know how to fix the uprepping thing. IDK if its just my computer, or if its all of BD...

*MiKi finishes feeding and watches as the rest of her friends argue over meaningless things. Being a seahorse, she has a fairly decent-sized pouch on her stomach.* "Yeah, I have a kind of pouch on my stomach, too. So I could probably carry Molly when she starts annoying Shad too much." OOC: @Panther *imagines a starfish tank* *starts laughing so hard she scares people in the next county* :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! That's hilarious!!!!! It's just like a giant tank........with starfish occupying ALL the walls...............and a whole bunch of meaningless space in the middle........... AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

*Miki sees Molly's antics and rolls her eyes. Then she goes back to her feeding so that Molly's immaturity won't rub off on her. She already has to deal with her friends' immaturity, and she isn't far from reaching her limit.* OOC: I just had to do that, since I was literally rolling my eyes IRL and wanted to convey that in-game. Course, just saying "MiKi rolled her eyes" wouldn't really have done anything, ne?

New topic! W00t! It's been a while.... Anyhoo, this joke has two parts. The second part starts after the first spoiler. So yeah, otherwise it might be a tad confusing. Let the corniness commence! A bishop in a city needs somebody to ring the bell each day at the top of every hour. So he holds auditions. A lot of people show up to try out. Some are good, some are okay, some suck. At the very end of the audition, a guy comes in who has no arms. So the bishop asks, "Well, I don't mean to be rude, but how are you going to ring the bell?" So the guy says, "Watch me." And he takes a few steps back, gets a running start, and slams his face into the bell. The bell produces this beautiful sound. It's clear and sharp and really really pretty. The bishop asks, "Well, that's good, but at noon you'll have to ring this bell twelve times. Can you do that?" "Well, let's see," the guy replies, and starts to take a few steps back. He "rings" the bell about six or seven times. But then, all of a sudden, he loses his balance, falls down the shaft, and dies. As the bishop is tending to the dead man, the townspeople start to gather around him. Someone asks, "Who is this? What happened?" So the bishop still needs someone to ring the bell. The auditions continue. He calls back the people to ring the bell. Once again, some are good, some are okay, some suck. At the end, another guy comes in who has no arms. Surprised, the bishop asks, "Who are you? How are you going to ring the bell?" "Do you remember the man who died yesterday? I'm his twin brother. I've come to do what he wanted to do," says the guy. "Well, let's see how you do," replies the bishop. Once again, the man takes a running start and slams his face into the bell. Once again, the bell produces a sharp, clear, pretty sound. The bishop asks, "Well, you'll have to ring the bell twelve times at noon. Can you do it?" The man replies, "Well, let's see." And he proceeds to "ring" the bell. After about the sixth or seventh one, he also loses his balance, falls down the shaft, and dies. As the bishop is tending to him, the townsfolk gather again. Someone asks, "Who is he? What happened?" Please don't kill me for the corniness! Also, since I feel like credit is due, this has been taken [with permission, of course ] from my amazing, wonderful, Debate coach. Thanks, Coach!

OOC: Nothing for my character at the moment, but I just wanted to say this: my character can breathe...........wait for it.................BUBBLES!

Ah, that was already there? I didn't know... Sorry....

*MiKi swims over to her friends.* "You know, I'm starved. I haven't eaten anything since lunch, and that was, like, four hours ago. I'mma go eat something, k?" *She swims off to the school of fish and starts to feed.*

K, I'll probably come sign up for it. Thanks.

OOC: Yeah, I tried that, but it didn't quite look OR sound right, so I changed it to something that [to me, at least] sounded marginally less awkward. Obviously didn't work, though... And yeah, your colors aren't working. But don't worry, I don't blame you!

From what I could tell from my last visit to MM, a lot of BD's mafiosos/mafiosas have switched to playing there instead. That may be why...

OOC: I think phil [can I call you that?] said he designed the game for people to join as they came. I'm sure you could probably join now, you just would've missed out the initial meaningless convos.

OOC: I'm taking some liberties with this because A) We're bound to feel that we have new bodies, B) I already know what I look like since I chose it, and C) We've already been told the world is Aquaticus or something, so it has something to do with water. But since I don't know anything else,I won't specify anything. Also, I know I said that my seahorse communicates with "seahorse speak and gestures" or something, but I'm gonna make a minor modification and say I can talk. "ZOMG, the crazy computer person knew my name!" says MiKi, then feels the wetness around her. She also notices that she no longer has arms and legs, and looks down at her body. She is surprised to see that she has been turned into a seahorse. "Yay!" She squeals happily. "Seahorses are my favorite!" She notices that she is submerged in water, and swims around a bit experimentationally [OOC: Is that even a word?] to test out her new body. Then she looks around to try and find her fellow players.

Kk. Will do, G! Also, I'm recruiting friends IRL, so hopefully at least a couple new people will show up.

*MiKi, being the young girl she is, is immensely scared by the thugs. She rushes into the room to be slightly farther away. As the others in the room have already entered the game, she decides to join them. After all, a little protection couldn't hurt, right? Even in a weird game. Plus, somebody had to keep Molly in line. After all, as amazing as Shad is, NO ONE can handle Molly on their own. MiKi grabs a headset and jams it onto her head.* "Stupid headset," she grumbles when it's slightly too big, even at the smallest size. "What, you can't cater to the vertically challenged?"

*At this point, MiKi is stuck and doesnt know what to say. As a result, she just nods like that answer was what she expected to hear and turns away. Thinking briefly, she decides she must warn Loki, Shad, and Molly about the dangers of the game. She warns herself not to be sucked in by the hypnosis of the game and pushes the door open. She overhears the last few sentences in the convo and realizes that Shad is still relatively untouched.* "This game isn't safe!" she says, but is dismayed to find that Molly has already entered.
