Wherein I rip off MSPaint Adventures

[rpgdemon]

I haven't really been doing anything creative for a fair bit of time. Would there be interest in an MSPaint Adventures style thing going on here, where commands are posted, and the story progresses via submitted commands?

[Bells]

I would support this!

[Specterbane]

They're usually fun to read if nothing else. I'm game.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Sure why not

[Flarecobra]

Sure. Been a while since we've had one of those here.

[Loyal]

I would not be opposed to it.

[rpgdemon]

Alright, cool! I'll be pretty much trying to update it as often and quickly as I can, and I have a general idea for at least a beginning. First post will be up soon.

[rpgdemon]

Alright then. The rest shall be vastly superior to this one, just needed to do SOMETHING to get it started off.

-Don a monocle. Obviously, destiny requires me to be dressed in the finest fashions.

[Flarecobra]

-Retreve arms from desk.

[Specterbane]

Get ye flask

[akaSM]

-Retreve arms from desk.

This. Also, look for stuff in your hat.

[Fenris]

>Find family.

[Pip Boy]

==> Observe surroundings

[Specterbane]

Reunite with loving wife and daughter!

Ok, in all seriousness, -Appraise surroundings for items of use and value.-

-Consider teleportation methods. Then just walk.

By the way, thanks, I now have something to save to look at when I need a laugh. :P

[KeienSlayer]

-Call a taxi. A dapper gentleman like myself can't possibly be seen WALKING amongst the common folk.

Alternately:
-Remember that I'm a broke, poor reporter and walk anyway.

[ChaoticBrain]

Sell that pocketwatch to the first pawn shop you happen to pass on the way to work.

[rpgdemon]

I feel the need to apologize for going so long without updating. :P I've been feeling under the weather all day, and pretty much passed out around 3:00. I'm feeling better now, so I'll try to crank one or three out soon.

[Loyal]

Challenge the other gentleman to fisticuffs. Winner takes all!

[Fenris]

>Devour everything.

[rpgdemon]

http://ngamesrpgs.com/files/comics/page7.png

[Specterbane]

Offer the other gentleman a proposition. He may avoid Fisticuffs if he goes to work for you while you find new scoops.

[rpgdemon]

[Bard The 5th LW]

ENGAGE FISTICUFFS DUE TO HIS INSUBORDINATION

[Specterbane]

Turn around to see if you also have a paper on your desk and, if so, examine what secrets it contains.

Congatulations on your newly purchased, highly patented, pandimensional mirror! As you surely know, this mirror utilizes the latest of technobabble in order to produce a looking glass into not just your own reflection, but into the reflection of a life that you have never lead. Each mirror uses a display of technology and quantum mechanics far over the author of this blurb's credentials, to show you a whole different world, complete with a living version of you, who will similarly be looking through his mirror to your world.

WARNING: Do not hold a mirror to the Pandimensional Mirror, nor should you ever hold two Pandimensional Mirrors face to face. This occurrence will lead to significant destabilization of the area immediately surrounding the mirror, and you may end up to have lived your entire life as that jerk who never tips. Or worse yet, that jerk who never gets tipped.

The effects may last from anywhere from hours, to days, to the first time your new miserable life starts to turn around.

The rest seems pretty boring.

[Specterbane]

Consider the looking glass' ease of transportability.

EDIT-come on people I don't wanna be the only one making commands. Who all said they'd actively contribute again?

[Loyal]

Pack up and head to work already. You will deal with the SSERP scum later.

[Flarecobra]

Head to work, flipping off the guy in the mirror as you go. He seems like a jerk anyway.

[akaSM]

Get another mirror and show it to the man in the mirror

OR

Ask the man in the mirror for a mirror

OR

Get a camera, and a TV
Put the TV in front of the mirror
Hook the camera to the TV
Point the camera to the mirror
Turn both devices on
???
Profit

Boss: There you are, Ted! What took you so long? I was starting to worry that you'd found yourself a new job, with an actual paycheck attached!

Ted (You): Well, it's a thrilling story, I'm sure, if I could just crack the case. You see, I woke up, bright and early in the morning, and next thing I know, here I am at work, striding in late. There must be something rather reportable at work here.

Boss: Well, of course I knew that! *Coughs self-consciously.* I used to be a reporter too, you know. Still have it in me, too!

Ted: (Eyes the boss's watch sharply): I'm sure that you do, Mr. Heindlind, but you're not quite what you used to be. Wearing a watch, in such an occasion? We'll have a field day printing about that... "Manager's Watch idles, while Everyman's minutes dwindle..." Well, it's a terrible headline, but it should get the point across.

Heindlind: Of course, of course! Foolish of me, really... Don't know what I was thinking. *Quickly removes the gold plated wristwatch, sliding it onto Ted's desk.* Here now, take this. I don't want any link back to this time incident. Now, where are those other scoops you promised me?

Ted: Ah, right. Well...

[Bard The 5th LW]

>Tell the story of your journey to work.

[Flarecobra]

Make up some crap involving Aliens, Elvis, and the Teletubbies.

[Specterbane]

Tell them you're going out to check on them
Pawn gold plated watch
FIND THE SCOOP OF THE CENTURY!

[KeienSlayer]

-Evade boss' question with witty insults!

[rpgdemon]

http://ngamesrpgs.com/files/comics/page12.png


Heindlind: Well, that was quite the story, I agree. But, how are your other scoops coming along?


http://ngamesrpgs.com/files/comics/page13.png




So, thirteen pages in: Anything that needs fixing/work/should be changed immediately? Feel free to rip into it, as well as giving story commands, and I'll take all suggestions into mind. I mean, ultimately, this entire thing is about what people who aren't me want.

[Specterbane]

Examine notes on Bakery or Fakery

[rpgdemon]

So, I guess the interest for this has waned by page 13? I mean, I'll keep doing it anyone wants, since I've got nothing better to do.

[Loyal]

This seems mostly like a time for "==>"

[rpgdemon]

Oh, crap, I totally forgot that I could do that. XD

The whole, "Get input" thing distracted me.

You will see more ==>ing, in the future.

[Fenris]

I -was- interested but you ignored all of my suggestions so!

[rpgdemon]

Well, FINE, I'll do less ignoring of your suggestions in the future. Mainly, I was going with a majority rules sort of thing, but from here on out, I'm going to go with whoever's suggestion I like.


http://www.ngamesrpgs.com/files/comics/page14.png

Edit: Also, turns out that you get busy at the worst possible times, all the time. I make no promises of speedy updates, in hopes that I shall remain less busy from here on out.

[Loyal]

> Mirror. Other guy's pillow. Make it happen.

Unnamed Mustache'd Man: ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP.
UMM: IT ENDS HERE, TED FREED.
UMM: AS OF THREE MINUTES AGO, I AM FREELANCING, AND DOING IT ALONE.
UMM: YOUR STUPIDITY HAS CAUSED ME TO FOREGO DENTAL CARE.
UMM: HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
UMM: DO YOU EVEN FEEL? DO YOU FEEL, TED FREED?
UMM: NO, YOU DON'T.
UMM: ALL YOU DO IS DANCE.
UMM: DANCE DAY IN, DANCE DAY OUT. DANCING IT UP. DANCING ALL THE TIME WITH THAT HYPNOtising rhythm. That wonderfully untimed, syncopated rhythm.
UMM: I guess what I'm saying here is, you are a true lord of the dance.
UMM: So, why are we here again?
Ted: Scoops.
UMM: What -exactly- are we here for?
Ted: Scoops.
UMM: No, but what exactly are we looking for?
Ted: Scoops.
UMM: What do you use to serve ice cream?
Ted: Now you're thinking scoops. What -do- they use to serve the ice cream here? I've never even seen proof that they -do- serve ice cream here. Another mystery of this so called "Bakery".
Ted: To answer your original question: We're calling into question the credibility of "Mrs. Grayer"'s fine eatery. While they do serve up the best scones this side of some place that's known for their scones, I have some serious doubts about this "Mrs. Grayer" character.
Ted: Yes, at first it conjures imagery of a kindly old woman, baking away with love in the back of the store, but have you seen evidence of this alleged Grayer?
Ted: What kind of name is Mrs. Grayer, anyhow? Was she once "Mrs. Auburner"? Who changes their name to match their haircolor?
Ted: Signs point to Mrs. Grayer being a sinister construct of a ruthlessly run bakery, and -I- don't ignore signs. That's how you end up backwards on an unfinished stretch of highway, with a half dozen girlscouts trying to gun you down.

[Specterbane]

Give "Mrs. Grayer" a suspicious leer!

There are plans, yes. I just haven't had the chance to act upon them, and would rather throw up something that seems pointless, and then have a bit of a gap, than a longer gap.

No, this update really didn't accomplish that much. Feel free to yell suggestions to change aesthetics.

Would anyone be too torn up if I killed this off for awhile? Now that I say this, I'll probably end up updating in a day or two, of course. Mainly, I've got other things that I am doing that amuse me more right now, over at the Kool Ruz, as seen below.

I still don't know what that means.
