((OOC: O____O Gomen, Matt!! I didn't think the thread was moving much so I didn't check it, otherwise I would have voted too @_@;;; sorry )) IC: As round two draws to a close, Hanagata is busy napping in the sun. Nyaoh...Otaru-kun...aishiteru.... *he leans down and begins making out with the grass* Mhh...
(Back to the Podiums) (The next scene opens back in the starting room, where a certain podium has been cheaply duct-taped back together. Hey, you know how hard it is to fnd good podiums on short notice? *ahem* Our contestants drop into their appropriate spots from somewhere above... but no problems, 'cause anime characters always land on their feet, right? Or was that cats...Anyhoo, in a moment I get interrupted by that crazy loud announcer voice, who-) Welcome to Round 2, contestants! So far, it seems our scoreboard is dominated by Sizer, Vash, and (makes sure the card reads right) ... Hanagata? Stil, don't think that our other four challengers will take that sitting down! In Round 2, we crank up the difficulty a notch! But, before we get into another drawn out and almost boring brawl, let's have a little bonus round! Here we go! In anime, it is almost always unheard of to see characters actually get killed... So many are either superhumans who never dice with death, or pathetic souls who seem to endlessly get hurled to the horizon, only to resurface unscathed... So here's the challenge contestants... Show us your "death scene", the last fleeting moments before you imart this world as you would predict it to be! Oh, and you are each allowed to use the following as props (and as props, use them as anything you want): 1) A large bag of marbles 2) A cardboard box and 3) Hairspray Hurry up and die contestants! The first 3 to get to it, receive a special 100 point quick death bonus, but remember that the more entertaining and in-character your death is, the more you'll score!
(The setting: the bag of marbles is emptied onto the floor, the box is sitting just behind the marbles, the bag from the marbles is in the box and so is the hairspray) Ryo-ohki: Miya mi mi mi meeya mi. (Trans. Cabbit version of whistling dixie) Ryo-ohki promptly walks onto the marbles and slips and slides around. Not being able to control the slide, Ryo-ohki ends up face-first into the box. Somehow, the bag has acted as a net, sealing Ryo-ohki in the box. In the struggle, Ryo-ohki's paw presses the button on the hairspray, spraying into her eyes and mouth and nose. Ryo-ohki's last thought before the poison of (Hanagata's) nasty hairspray overtakes her: "Myyyyyyaaaaaaaa!" (Trans. Oh no! I'm not gonna be in the next season!)
IwAnBo: (the 3 items are sittin on the table)Duhh....ha...ha...(he picks up the hair spray and starts spraying his self he thinks its deorderant......he picks up the box and starts eating it...)duh....ha....ha......bread.............(after is consumed the whole box.....he sees the bag of marbles and thinks they are cherrys and puts the whole bag of marbles in his mouth...he swallowed them whole after a couple of minutes he made a big fart and died becasue his arteries were clogged up because of the box and marbles he ate........but atleast he smelled nice...)
The Death Of EiN the DaTa Dog!!! Scene(Coming out from his box EIN see's the marbles laying around on the floor.. lil did Ien Know they were coated in a yummy smelling hair spray.. And being as hungry as eIn and the Bebop Crew Always are, He starts one by one gulping the marbles down one by one only to start choking on one of the Bigger Marbles.. Stumbling Back to the Box IeN Lies Down for the Long Never Ending Nap, And Dreams Of the Great Doggy Heaven Awaiting For ed to come visit!!) KaMeKaZi Cries! Poor IeN! See You Space Cowboy!
Sizer is sitting on top of a hill, playing a melody on her flute when suddenly she feels an eerie presence.. she looks to side to side from behind and jumps up and back as she looks above her to see a floating cardboard box coming towards her. The speed and direction of the box were speradic, all she could cry was 'What the Hell is that?!' and wonder what was inside... the box landed and squeeled... Yes it Squeeled. She shuddered at this horrible sound. She readied herself in defense against this thing. This thing she had never encountered before. At first she thought it may be the box she had been searching for, but too huge was this box, and the label 'Hostess Ding Dong' on the side gave her no clues to its origin... She cried 'Begon Ding Dong!', but this made the box furious. Two small dark holes appeared on the side in her direction.. it squeeled once more. Sizer jumped and flew at it, and punched and kicked, punched and kicked, but this box was too quick. Suddenly something small and hard hit her on the shin...it was too quick for her to see... she looked down and found blood running down to her foot.. there was a wound in her leg the size of a circle.. she looked up again she tried blocking the small balls but to no avail. She was able to catch one, she eyed it and said..'a marble??!?!?' She looked at the box and became furious... 'What is the meaning of this nonsense!! YOU WILL DIE DING DONG BOX!!! The box seemed to grow in size, and kept on growing.. Sizer looked for a weapon.. she had left her scythe on the ground where she had played... she searched herself and found Raiel's hairspray...she thought 'Raiel's 'fro always stays strong and up..this stuff must be good'.. as she was pelted and stabbed with small marbles, she threw the hairspray hoping to have a marble hit it when it was close and blow the box up.....A marble did hit it. What Sizer didn't know was that Raiel liked sniffin' the 'funky stuff' (whatever that meant) There was no hairspray in the bottle but something more deadlier! as the marbles hit the hairspray container, the box was consumed by a huge blast, but the box had a huge ton bag of marbles inside!! The marbles flew everywhere but mostly into the flesh of Sizer... 'Damn you Thing!' 'Damn you Raiel' she cried, because this was no hairspray...as the marbles pelted her skin, the exploded hairspray container became a huge black hole and consumed both the remainder of the box, the marbles, and Sizer... a huge stench wafted in the air.. When Raiel came by looking for her.. all that remained was Sizer's Scythe ... a couple marbles.. and a piece of cardboard with an image of a ding-dong.. The Ding-Dong became her Death Mark. And Raiel continued to bottle Iwanbo's farts.
As Vash is standing around this insanity of people dying for no apparent reason he looks over to the scythe where Sizer use to be. Vash : NOOOOOOO, how could this happen...such a beautiful woman, I WAS GOING TO ASK HER OUT!!! As Vash weeps over the death of Sizer he hears a strange crinkling sound over to the side. It seemed that the box, the hairspray and the marbles were coming back together... Vash noticing that his hair that always sticks up no matter what he does is starting to flop over for some reason (must be a bad omen...). He picks up the can of hairspray and uses it on his hair, his hair becomes spiky once again...a bit too spiky and it starts to move around as if it's possessed and the hair yells "SWALLOW YOUR SOULLLLLL!!!". Vash tries to stop his hair from trying to swallow his soul and yells and screams "MY HAIR!!! AHHHHHHHHH"... The hair starts going really insane and starts flying up in the air bringing Vash with it as Vash is being hurled all over the ring and into many walls. (the blood is really flying now...) Vash : there's only one way to get rid of this foul evil, to excercise it...... "LOVE AND PEACE!! LOVE AND PEACE!!! LOVE AND PEACE!!!" The hair begins to scream in agony and the foul evil hairspray demons leave it, although Vash is severely hurt... So he walks up to the box and ignores all the weird marble things levitating around him. Vash : Box = Donuts = Food!!! Vash without looking empties the contents of the box down his throat, Vash Explodes...
*Hanagata watches the following death scenes wide eyed, occassionally whimpering/shivering/grabbing his stomach and yelling "Ewwww!!!" and as Vash explodes, he turns his head away and throws up over the side of the stage...thereby losing his balance and falling down as well. Seconds later, Hanagata leaps up with a wild look in his eyes. Pale and trembling, he shakes his fist indignantly* DAHHHH!!!! What kind of contest IS THIS?!?!? *yells at moderator* And why does every one keep picking on me?!? *notices the blood spattered across his large purple bow and whimpers* Vash got blood all over me... I'm gonna have to get it dry cleaned now. *throws his head back and wails as two large streams of tears gush from his eyes, drenching all of the contestants, dead or alive. Hanagata quickly recovers, however, and shakes his fist wildly* BUT, I THE GREAT AND OH-SO MANLY HANAGATA MITSURUGI WILL NOT BE OUTDONE!!! *his eyes light up as he hugs himself tightly and begins swivelling back and forth as the world around him dissolves into a strange combination of hearts, roses and shoujo-style bubbles* My death scene will be enough to win the heart of my dear Otaru-kun and make him realize, at last, what a prince among men I am. Ohh, Otaru-kun! Otaru-kun!! OTARU-KUN!!!!!! *Hanagata abruptly whirls around and instantly transforms into an Elizabethan doublet, velvet feathered hat, pumpkin hose and codpiece straight from "Romeo and Juliet"* He drops to one knee and pulls the cardboard box over to him* I will begin this short play, entitled "Ye Lyf and Tragik Deeth of Hanagata Mitsurugi, A tayle of woe in five acts with variouse comic amusements in between ye acts" with a short poem, which I have written on the side of this box. *clears throat and begins wandering around the stage, jesturing wildly and waving the cardboard box like some kind of banner as he recites his verse lines in a nasily sing song* Oh, Otaru-kun, your lips are sweet, And how I long to bow and kiss your feet, Until -- *Hanagata's own feet slip on the marbles scattered across the stage* DAAAAHHHH!!!!!! Ehe! Ehe! Ehe! Ehe! Ehe! *Hanagatata furiously tries to maintain his balance, despite the fact that he is standing on top of hundreds of marbles. However, he is careening dangerously around the stage at this point and is headed straight for a nearby wall.* Oh Noo!!! *he grins at the audience* But of course, I won't let a little problem with the props foil MY grand death scene! *he whips out a can of his hairspray and kisses it* Thank you for killing off that annoying non-descript animal thing, Oh valiant can of Hanagata Mitsurugi Special Hair Spray (tm). *he holds it up as if in an adverstisement* It also works well on teflon... AND AS ROCKET FUEL!!!! *just moments before colliding with the wall, Hanagata aims the hairspray's nozzle at the wall* FIRE!!! *and presses it. A jet of the HM Special Hairspray (tm) squirts into the wall, immediately propelling Hanagata backwards* YAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I am a genius!! I am amazing!! I am flying!! I am -- heading right for that ceiling fan! I am -- OH ****!!!!!! DAAAAAHHH!!!" *Hanagata crashes into the theatre's fan and catches he seat of his pants on one of it's blades. The fan twirls him around and a round, going faster and faster due to the stream of 'rocket fuel' hairspray* Nyah! Nyah! nyanyayayayaayayayayayayayAeieieieieie!!!" *Hanagata goes flying and crashes through a window. The camera follows as he flies through an executive board meeting* Daddy!! The new hairspray woooorks woooonders!!! *out the other window and through a "Hard and Sharp Things" factory* AOWW! OHH! OHH! EEE!! AHH!! OWWW!!! IEEE!! No! NOT THAT!! THAT'S MY FAVORITE BODY PART!!! AHHH!!! *And out of this window, now much more bloody and bruised, and strangely enough wearing several bandages. Hanagata then flies into and out of the windows of a "Pirrahna Aquarium" a "Mink Farm" and "Otaru's Shower" (where he sustains the greatest ammount of damage accompanied by screams of "You pervert!"). Finally, he crashes out of the shower and lands heavily on the ground beside it. He looks up at the camera* I just saw ...O--Otaru-kun.....w...without....and he was.... *he smiles blissfully* This is... I can now die a happy man. *And after twitching around on the floor for twenty minutes giggling like a demented ecchi, coughing like an opera heroine dying of consumption, and rising to do not one but four dramatic monologues, he finally does* For never was a story of more woe... Than this of Hana and his...Otar--o. *he expires noisily and clutches the empty hairspray can over his chest like a flower as a spotlight shines down upon him and John Williams-esque tearjerker music (tm) plays. Camera cuts to Yumeji and Pontakun, who are both manning the spotlight Yumeji: Ponta-kun...after seeing that I can safely say that I will need at least thirty years of therapy and/or one major drug addiction to block most of those images from my mind. I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep again. Ponta-kun: Myaho-Myaho *~This has been a Hanagata Mitsurugi Films Production~*
Judges can be unruly, can't they? (Ebisumaru will sit out this round...I'll level his score sometime later...) The judges have concluded that Hanagata is disqualified from this round, under the use of illegal props (ceiling fan, windows of a "Sharp and Pointy Things FActory", a "Pirrahna Aquarium" a "Mink Farm" and "Otaru's Shower")... So, we'll be moving on with the remaining 5...At least if I can't convince my judge otherwise... Ah well, the pre-round score should follow up soon!
*at the sound of his name, Hanagata looks up from his death pose and blinks. As news of his disqualification slowly sinks in, he sits up, his blue eyes trembling with tears* NOOOOO!!!!! *and he begins throwing a royal knock down drag out spoiled rich boy temper tantrum, complete with jumping up and down, howling, and finally lying on his back, kicking and screaming while making vaguely cat sounding noises* Ohhh!! It's so unfaiiiiiir!! How can they do this to me? To ME, the GREAT AND OH SO MANLY STUD-MUFFIN HANAGATA MITSURUGI????????!!!!!! *jumps up off the floor and waves his fists in the air as smoke comes out of his nostrils. His head begins to spin around on his neck, *Exorcist* style* You will pay... you will pay..... *begins chanting in Latin* Yumeji: Oh for the love of -- *drops the spotlight on his brother* Hanagata: GYAH!!! *lies stunned beneath the spotlight, twitching as his eyes spin* Why does this Always happen to me?
In the wake of your arguments, Mr. Hanagata, the judges have agreed that they were, indeed unfair with your disqualification... They've also decided that your death was the most convincing... So, they've decided to award you a special prize as such! You're dead. That's right. No just for sport, but actively dead. Go sit in that room over there *points to a non-descript door marked 'DEAD CONTESTANTS ENTER HERE' *... In other words, you are barred from participation...but you are also allowed one more chance to redeem yourself...Pick yourself any six-letter word of your choice (a send it one way or another to the Baka in charge without letting any other contestant see it)... every time another contestant uses this 'magic word' in the rest of this round, you'll be tacked on 50 extra points to your score... Sometimes it pays to be dead, ne? Oh, and I'm afraid there's a penalty if *nobody* uses the word before the round is up...Good Luck!
Are we still in round 2? Here's the Death and Rebirth results: Speed Bonus: Ryo-ohki +100 Iwanbo +100 Ein +100 Characterization Factor: Sizer +150 Iwanbo +200 Hanagata +200 Ryo-ohki +200 Ein +200 Vash +200 Entertainment Factor: Ryo-ohki +200 Iwanbo +100 Ein +100 Sizer +300 Vash +250 Hanagata +300 Round 2, second half to come, so stick around!
Don't EVA Do That Again! [SETTING: Some time in the future after several world disasters... A few handfuls of humans still survive in this ruined Earth, clinging to new government agencies built to maintain the peace...or is it to ward off a new enemy? Recently, a new threat has appeared, large monstrous beasts bent on destruction... The agency NERV has managed to combat these "Angels" using their own combat models...the Evangellion...] ANNOUNCER: Alright, Vash! (Vash drops into the middle of a post-impact Tokyo) In this scenario, you get to be the rampaging Angel! (slaps a big Target sign on him)... Everyone else... (Looks back to where four Evas stand at the edge of the city, each tentatively labelled "00", "01", "02" and "03") you need to figure out how to take down this Angel! Each of you has been given a suit which has a power battery limited to 5 minutes of run time, an energy gun, and one of those big vibrating knife thingys on your belts...The catch is, you have to synchronize in harmony with your Eva unit, or it won't respond...understand? Didn't think so! Oh, and each unit also has the capability of putting up a strong barrier, or AT Field... The first one to successfully bring down the Angel wins! ANd the Angel wins if none of you can do that in your five minutes...or if Tokyo gets destroyed! Happy Hunting, everyone!
Myaho! Ryo-ohki: "Myaho---myaaaamimirrrrth!" (Trans. This is so fair! I don't have hands!) **Looks up at Evas, about 50X her size.** Ryo-ohki:Myamimimimimi? Myaho! Meeerrrrrrm! Myarroooo!" (Trans. "Now which Eva should I take. Hmm! Hey, that one looks like a carrot!") **Jumps into 01 but Does Not activate it.**
*Vash Notices that the huge demon looking things off in the distance aren't doing anything yet so he marches up to the local donut parlour and grabs the huge donut on top of it with the inscription "good donuts make for sex and soul". With this donut Vash seeks some solitude and goes behind a large metallic building and lays his feet on a smaller building.*
A 5 minute time limit? How will me mesure this 5-minute time limit??? ((Ryo-ohki attempts to stretch out he paws in a semblance of hands)) My nyah, myah nyah! (Trans. Not fair, not fair!)
*meanwhile* *Hanagata trundles off into the Dead Contestants' Lounge and plunks himself down on an overstuffed arm chair. He looks out the window and watches the next round* I'm happy I'm not part of this... this round looks particularly difficult. And besides... I need to spend some quality time with you! *yanks an Otaru plushie out of... well, Hanagata Space (tm) (you know, the space that allows him to pull not only hammers, but photo albums and choo choo trains out of nowhere -- it happened in J to X trust me) and looks around furtively* Alone at last! *begins um... nuzzling the plushie as the door slams. Around the doorknob is a sign which reads "do not disturb"*
IwAnBo: (he runs up and squeezes into the eva unit 00 what a tight squeeze he drinks up that fludind that fills up inide) Duhhhh.......tastes like fresh sqeezed radiator fluid.....his stomah starts rummbling hes so so hungry.......)Duhhhhhh....Foooood...(he wonders why they don't give the contestants food after each round he runs over to vash and joins him......he helps him eat the donut)DUHHHHH....Crunchy
