[spoiler]So with all this apocalypse and rebirth and other edgy RP stuff going on, I figured y’all might appreciate some light-hearted stories. So without further ado...[/spoiler] [b][u]MISADVENTURES IN C MAJOR[/u][/b] ——————————————————— It’s 5:30 on a weekday, and Pencilsnake is filing away some paperwork at the Sheriff’s office. [quote]Pencilsnake: Man, all these new arrivals are really gonna help us keep productivity up! Those world-conquerors and super villains sure have it coming to them. Adios Lee, I’m heading out![/quote] Lee nods in Pencil’s direction, busy trying to help John Watson out of his armor, which features a minor, suspiciously hug-shaped dent around the chest plate. Whistling, Pencilsnake turns on his wireless headphones, jumps on his Harley, and heads home. Cruising past a grove of massive trees, something really shiny flashes at Pencil from the side of the road. Intrigued, he pulls over. Quickly disappearing into the tree line is what looks like... a mirror? There is a faint rustling of leaves. [quote]Pencilsnake: Hello? Is somebody there?[/quote] The rustling actually gets louder for a second, then stops. Almost like something was running away... Pencil knits his eyebrows, pulls a .38 special from his holster, and heads in the direction of the rustling. Pushing through the thick foliage, he hears a soft music floating towards him. He finds a huge bush in his path, with many strange noises coming from behind it. Pencilsnake pushes through, weapon ready, and finds... [quote]Pencilsnake: [i]Gnomes?[/i][/quote] Six frightened pairs of eyes turn towards him. The gnomes are scattered throughout a small clearing, all positioned by strange objects: a silver mirror, stacked rolls of toilet paper, some plastic zombies , and (weirdest of all) a boom box playing the Monster Mash. Noticing Pencil’s deputy badge, the tallest (3’1”) gnome jumps to his feet from the stump he was sitting on. [quote]Tall Gnome: We didn’t do nothin, fuzz! You got a lotta gall bustin in on our completely legitimate business! Old Gnome: How did you find us anyway?[/quote] The wizened gnome also stood up, a wickedly sharp pumpkin carving tool in his hand and a pile of pumpkin guts at his feet. [quote]Pencilsnake: Well... I just saw a shiny object and heard catchy music so I followed it... uh, that sounds dumber than it is. Hey, wait a second! You’re the guys who keep putting out Halloween decorations way too early! *levels pistol* You’re under arrest for seasonally inappropriate merchandising! [/quote] The gnomes look at each other, then look back at Pencilsnake. They all pick up various tools and pieces of hardware. [quote]Tall Gnome: [i]GET EM[/i][/quote] If you happened to be walking through the woods that evening, you would have heard birds chirping, wind moving softly through the branches... followed immediately by a tall man running, screaming, and taking pot shots over his shoulder. Also being followed by six diminuative men waving random construction implements and screaming bloody murder. When he got to the road, Pencil leaped onto his motorcycle and peeled out. Luckily, the gnomes didnt have any way to pursue, and just stood there yelling Spooktober-themed profanites at the fleeing deputy. When he got back to the office, he practically flew off his bike and into the lobby. [quote]Pencilsnake: HELP!! GNOMES!! PUMPKIN!! CHASING!![/quote] Only Beep was left in the office, half a sandwich in his hand, and just stared. He slowly walked to the window, saw nothing outside, and wordlessly shook his head and left. [quote]Pencilsnake: B-but... there were gnomes! Really! And cheesy decor, and Boris was singing... and... *collapses into a chair* I’m never gonna get a break from this shït, am I? [/quote] He didn’t know how right he was. But he would. Pretty soon, actually... [spoiler]Lmk what you guys think! If I use your character in one of these and you object, please DM me and I’d be happy to make an edit[/spoiler]
