Task 4
"Just Follow the Yellow Brick Road!"


"IF YOU DON'T FUCKING DO THE WIZARD OF OZ, YOU HAVE FAILED AT LIFE! --Burter

This task is going to be fun! Your going to create a staff run saga! Yay! I bet you have TONS and TONS of ideas! Wanna make one of them come to life?

TOO BAD!

Your task is to create all of the main points of your saga, the NPCs, enemies, EVERYTHING! Your going to give us the opening post, and all the details and pre-planning you can think of.

There is one little twist though...your saga has to be based off the ever-popular and incredibly awesome Wizard of Oz. It must also include at least one musical, which must be made entirely from scratch.

As usual, the TA is in charge. Have fun!

Before you read this, let me just state that we rushed at the end. The deadline was reached so we had to post it...



Prewrite


Pre-Teleportation


All of the heroes in the story are in the martial arts tournament ring being introduced when they all succumb to a weird feeling of sickness. The next thing any of them know is that they are no longer in the arena but in a world they had never seen before.


Wandering The New Town


Everyone gathers in the town they were teleported to and are discussing ways to get back, what happened, where are they, and etc. But is seems that the planet is inhabited by a whole new race...a midget race. The village sage enters and tells them about the grand wizard who may be able to help them return back to their world and possibly gain rewards along the way as this wizard has the ability to make wishes true. Having accepted the task a yellow brick road appears to show them their destination.


Walking The Path


While traveling the golden path they happen upon a few odd beings that all know of this grand wizard and wish to help with the journey for their own personal gain at the end. Unfortunately, they also encounter some rather tough fighters who have their own agenda spanning from revenge to greed and other things the wizard can grant them.


Trials


Throughout the journey there are places where the road is blocked and they must complete a trial to pass. Should a trial be failed the group will be delayed until it is completed.

Trial of Courage: Each fighter is separated and faced with their greatest fear. The only way to pass this trial is for each party member to overcome what frightens them most.

Trial of Heart: One of the party members is captured in a nearby castle that will disintegrate in half an hour. Our heroes have that long to find their comrade before deciding to leave him/her behind and proceed or risk their lives searching for their partner. -Staff Note- Only staff knows that the only way to proceed is to choose the comrade over advancing.

Trial of Wit: A series of intellectual puzzles, riddles, and questions fill up the next trial.


Final Destination


After arriving to the wizard?s castle they learn that to get what they want they must defeat this seemingly old man in battle? but there is a lot more power behind this scrawny being than meets the eye. But it seems, it isn't an old man after all. The wisdom and the power of the man seems to bring age to his body. But once he powers up to his highest level, his youth is revealed along with more power than one person to reveal...

Description of Planet of Oz

The planet is unlike any other before. The area where the party arrives is an area with small houses and resembles the planet namek. But instead of green grass, it is purple, and there is a race of midgets that live there. On the journy, the group will discover new lands to cross and have to run through fields and climb through rugged terrain. Only, the rugged terrain is at the end near the dark tower where the one person they quest for lives.


Rules



Purpose- To Keep the SAGA on path, but also remaining flexible.


Ignoring those in need- The non-playable-charachters, or NPC's, that you will meet and that will accompany you on your parties adventure are very important to the story line. Ignoring an NPC, or refusing to take him or her along in your party will result in a seriously negative response by the NPC that will result in a similar conclusion as taking him, but at more pain to your party. IE- Ignoring an NPC might, depending on the NPC, throw him into a violent rage, attacking your party and forcing you to let him come with you. Same as brining him, with much suffering to your party.
Note: This does not mean you have to be nice and kiss their asses along the way.

Wandering off the trail- While obviously some exploration will be allowed for adventure and treasure hunting purposes, venturing too far away from the path (IE- away from eyeshot of the path, or if all members are off the path at once.) Will result in all your party members blacking out, and reawakening at the starting point, at the beginning of the path.
Note- This is in no way a means to erase any creativity and flexibility from the SAGA, it is just to keep this long saga from being an epic and from parties trying to cut across a meadow for instance and appearing near the end of the path on the other side, thus avoiding all trials and defeating the path's purpose.

Attacking other Party members- Attacking other party members, this may be allowed if the reason is seen fit by the SAGA moderator. Fit reasons may be one member basically being an ass and taking over the group, ordering everyone around, etc. But killing off party members so you solely reap the benefits, or for reasons not seem fit by the moderator, may result in the Grand Wizard to reject you your "wish to return home" on grounds that your heart is evil. The result in the SAGA ending without you returning home is a torturous death.

Godmoding- This is a basic of RPing, DO NOT GODMODE. This cannot be emphasized enough. If your charachter reaches a trial, and just repeatedly breezes through them, an alarm should ring in your head that you are godmoding. This SAGA is supposed to be fun, and challenging. Do not ruin the latter by Godmoding. Penalties may result in loss of reward or a "accident" to your charachter along story lines.

In final, enjoy the SAGA, have fun with it. Get to know other charachters and develop your own, stay away from these basic rules and your party and the moderating staff should be on good terms. Goodluck.


Rewards

Survivors

The few characters who survive through the saga will be rewarded with the following: teleporation back home, a 5,000 zeni prize, 15 TPs to distribute how they see fit among their stats, and whatever items or zeni they find along the way. Of course, the staff may deem one or two worthy of an item or powerup as they see fit.

Deceased

The other characters, whom are not lucky enough to survive to see the saga finish will be sent directly to the afterlife and recieve the following to their roster: a 1,500 zeni prize and 5 TPs to distribute how they see fit among their stats, and whatever items or zeni they find along the way. Of course, the staff may deem one or two worthy of an item or powerup as they see fit.



Races

Munchulls ? A midget-like race of people with advanced knowledge of their homeworld. It seems that all that goes on on their planet is absolutely no surprise to them. They might possibly through a psychic link with their planet, but no one is truly sure. They skin is a slightly purple color, and they often wear bright flashy clothing. They are very strange looking creatures, and all of them look surprisingly similar. Upon getting to the planet, the race tells the warriors to follow the golden path, which will take them on their great adventure. They are a goofy race that just likes to have a good time when not being tortured or bothered by their enemies.

Munkeens (750,000 ki)? A race of winged creatures that work for the evil wizard. They are ruthless and nasty to the eye. Covered visible scars where their fur was cut straight through, they somewhat resemble monkeys... if they had been brutally beaten and deformed. They carry energy weaponry of different varieties, and are expertly trained with them.

Treybens (1,200,000 ki)- An angry race of tree-looking creatures. They are not very fast, nor very strong, but they have amazing defensive capabilities. This is the only reason they survived for so long. They don't stand up as much of a match for a group of foes, simply because they can easily be beaten on. A one on one match however, they can show you where their power is. It almost seems as if most attacks placed on them do no damage to them at all. (Hint: maybe a well placed destructo disk... or similarly sharp object would cut them down to size?)


NPCs

Lance Ofher: The hired announcer for the event. Although his speech sounds fairly clear, it was obviously not the reason he was chosen as the announcer. There?s a rumor going around that he is a good friend of the Lockouts. (Pl: 1,000,004)

"The Key": Nobody really knows his real name, and it really isn?t a matter, as everyone knows him by this name. The leader of the Lockouts, and an extremely strong fighter, he brought many men from his planet in order to show the true strength of his empire. He's not only fighting for the dragon balls, an ultimately a powerful wish, but, if he does well in the tournament, he may have to expand his grounds...

Holy and charismatic actions are something foreign to The Key, and he is often pointed out for his crude, rude, and cruel actions. His moves in the ring reflect his personality outside of the ring almost as closely as a mirror.
(Pl: 80,000,000+ unknown max *strength oriented*)

Impact: Like most fighters, he uses his first name only. This warrior is a single entry, and appears to be a friendly man. His huge figure may be slightly intimidating, but his kind heart is portrayed well in his smiling face. His goal for the battle is unknown thus far, although he is considered an underdog. He seems to be rather emotional for someone of his stature, which gives off the idea of a rough childhood. He seems to be looking for some men to group up with... Or women. (Pl: Average: 35,000,000-75,000,000 *Strength Oriented*)

Pin-d: The bitch. He is basically the man you see doing the work for almost anyone. He was hired by the tournament to do random errands for not only the administrators, but, if he has time, the competitors as well. Spineless and nearly brainless, this man hesitates on almost all orders before being scared into doing it. His power-level is that of a normal human, which makes is slightly surprising that he is even here. His lack of common sense makes him an extremely annoying asset here, its unknown how long he will be here for. He's also extremely cocky. (Pl: 4)

Turbo: A fair sized opponent. His name reflects his wishes, but currently, turbo is infact one of the slowest fighters this side of the tournament. His Defense is immense, which it would need to be in order to endure the amounts of hits he receives. The Saiyan-jin is embarrassed about his lack of speed, as it is something he's tried to enhance o his own, as well as with armors and items, but to no avail. His main goal is obvious, and he?s not looking for any help. (Pl: 25,000,000-65,000,000 *Defense oriented*)

Checker: A finalist from the planet Namek. His speed is commendable, along with his other stats. He is always willing to battle anyone who steps forward, even when he knows his is extremely out matched. He fights for the honor of Namek, and could care less about the rewards. (Pl: 10,000,000-50,000,000 *Speed oriented*)


Intro Post

"The 39th Martial Arts Tournament, in two days!" A loud voice yelled over a speaker. A crowd gathered around booths to see who would sign up. Warriors of all statures seemed to be lined up, waiting for their turn in line tto sign up for the Martial Arts tournament. It was the biggest thing ever. This year there was a whole new system the producers of the tournament made. This time, instead of being on Earth, people anywhere could join because of their new teleportation tubes. This brought them all to one ring on one planet. And that planet was Earth.

"Sign up while you still can! The booths close tomarrow at noon, sharp!" The same voice was yelling, enthusiastic and joyful. Everybody wanted to know who would participate and everybody wanted to watch it.

The same things were said among all of the other planets, it was a big tournament, and anybody who was a warrior, would be there.

OCB: Everybody post in this thread saying you want to join.


Teleportation Post

The crowd roared. People at home roared. The whole universe was watching. There were televisions turned on in almost every house on almost every planet. Everybody wanted to see this tournament. People couldn't even anticipate what would happen in the next three days of fighting. It would be the biggest tournament yet.

"Let's here it for the fighters who made it passed the preliminaries, folks!" The announcer spoke. Everybody knew his name...Lance Ofher. There was something more than him just wanting to announce though, but nobody could quite see it.

Behind the announcer, a line of fighters walked out. Some serious, looking straight forward, and some joyful, waving their hands to the crowd and smiling wide. Everybody was honored just being here after the unseen preliminary round. The crowd wanted to see the first fights, but missed them but got to watch all of the biggest fights, all leading up to the final round which was where it got serious.

Finally, all of the warriors were in the ring, standing in a line facing the crowd before them. The crowd yelled and screamed and roared and cheered. People at home were betting on who would win, just by looking at them. Lance Ofher started to read off their names and each of them gave a gesture when their name came up, to show which was which, it was a traditional thing at all of the martial arts tournaments. But then, when the announcer was in the middle of the names, a bright light flashed through the stadium that held the ring. And everything went pitchblack, and a ring of light surrounded the group, all of the warriors seeming to fall to the ground, sickly. They coughed, all of their eyes were closed and they couldn't open them. Their bodies were too heavy to lift or move...then they felt light as a feather. They felt like they were floating. The light cut through the darkness finally and everything went back to normal, but the crowd was silent. Everybody stared in awe at the ring. It was empty. The announcer smiled to himself, so nobody could see, he knew it would happen...

--------------------------------

There was a slight thunder in a peaceful place. The sound of over a dozen bodies were falling to the ground in a whole new enviroment. Was it part of the tournament? Was that supposed to happen? Where were they? Some of the group members finally opened their eyes to see purple grass and small buildings around them. When the group looked around, they saw a race of weird looking midgets surrounding them, staring at them...

Where were they?

NPC

Cornfield Scarecrow

These slow moving creatures made of straw are friendly to all people. They will attempt to help you with puzzles and other riddles, but as they do not have a brain, their help can only go so far. They are not very strong considering they are made of straw.


Possesed Scarecrow

This is the malevolent counterpart to the Cornfield Scarecrow. These ordinary scarecrows have been possesed by a poltergiest, and only seek to trick and decieve you. They cannot move very fast, and are still not very bright, because they lack a brain. Their only true purpose is to cause as much annoyance to people as possible.

The Little People

The friendly, and very short deziens of one of the towns in the land of Oz. While they are not very strong, or tall, they are always friendly to any who happen by. They will give you hints about things, and will do all they can to aid you, but they will refuse to leave their village for fear of the horrors of the rest of the land of Oz.

Dango's Dancers


These are the leather-clad dancing underlings of Lord Fandango. They use many terrible dance moves to dodge out of the way of attacks, and to attack you as well. They are cunning, but the leather straps on their clothes cause them to trip up occasionally. They have very deep voices, and are moderately difficult to defeat, but are not very bright.

Ghoulish Gumdrops

Small little packets of energy that border the darker roads of Oz. These little creatures will scream a high-pitched whine, damaging the ears of the unprotected. Alone, they're hardly more than a mild nuisance, but in large numbers, you will be set upon edge. Take them out as quickly as possible, for they spawn quickly.

Flying Monkeys

Look out! These nasty little creatures look like monkeys with bat wings. They will swoop down from above and smack you around, or throw things at you, such as large boulders and other objects. Beware, they are suprisingly strong for their size, and are vicious, usually attacking in swarms. How it is that these monkeys grew wings is still unknown.

Dark Shadow- A spawn from all the hatred in Oz. While not particularly strong, he is cunning, and has claimed many lives. As soon as you step into his lair, you are fair game.

Mutated Munchkin- A munchkin that has been caught in the grasp of evil. He is able to produce large quantities of acid, in the form of molten lollypop candy. This ferocious fatty is certainly one to deal with.

Gamelak- The Evil One's bodyguard. This creature weighs approximately 1700 pounds of pure muscle. He is the st

Power Levels


Possesed Scarecrow: Ki level about 300 000 to 500 000 max. (See 20's description)

Cornfield Scarecrow: Ki level about 600 000 to 1 million max (See 20's description)

The Little People: I dont think these guys need a ki level but if needed about 4000 to 5000 max

Dango's Dancers: ki level 5 mil to 10 million max

Ghoulish Gumdrops: ki level 10 000 to 15 000 max (just to make sure people dont get stomped by them)

A dark figure stood in front of multiple TVs. His hood covered his head he folded his hands in front of his body. The cloak covered his hands as he placed on top of the other arm. The TV?s in front of his face flashed brilliant colors and a smile cracked across his unseen lips, he defiantly liked what he was seeing. A loud thud came from his back. Some one was at the door. Another knock, the cloaked figure turned around his voice pale and low.

?Enter.? He sat down in a char facing away from the TV?s and pushed a button on the table that lay before him, they all shut off. The door opened, a hunched over man entered his clothing ripped, and poor in comparison to the cloaked figure.

?Is it time?? The cloaked figure asked, his servant had now completely entered the room.

?Yesss?my Lord,? he hissed and then continued. ?The preparations are almost don?? He was cut short as the dark figure interrupted him.

?Shut the door, How many times do I have to tell you Marlboro (hehe) Shut that damn door? His words finished and he slouched back into the chair his beady white eyes all that could be seen from under his cloaked head.

?Sssorry my Lord,? he turned around and shut the door. His hunched back made it hard for him to move, putting his left leg forward he brought his right leg up, not even picking it up of the ground he just slid it behind him as he made his way up towards his master?s side.

?The Vortexes are ready; it is only a matter of time before they arrive at our door steps.?

?Good, it has been a long long time since this dull land has seen any excitement, to think the last was that peppy little dog, Toto or what ever its dull name was. These cocky warriors will soon meet their end.? A laugh that could break a man spirit crackled out of the lungs of both figures as they turned back around to face the now colorful screens once again.

The Earth was once again peaceful. The grass that lay on the earth swayed back and forth in the calm cooling wind as two warriors raced towards each other. One, a male, his hair long and raven black. The other, a female, her hair golden blonde, it glittered in the rays of the sun that hung ninety-three million miles away. Both human in looks but both far from that fact, one in fact being a Saiya-jin, the most powerful race in the known universe. The other an Android, not just any android in fact, but the only girl one known to date. They clashed together, both sending a fist out towards the other, the male hitting the female in the face, the female hitting the male in the gut. The two flipped back, landing several paces from their previous position.

?Wow Rad, you seem to have gotten better,? the android said, a smirk appearing across her face.

?You too 18, but please don?t hit me there again, I might just lose my lunch. Wouldn?t want to cut this fight short on account of me being to hungry would ya?? He chuckled a little under his breath but soon shot forward again his fist stretching back past his head ready to attack. The female did the same, her fist aiming for the one spot she knew it would hurt Rad, his gut, yet again. As they grew closer and closer an unexpected wind began to pick up and then it died again, the two fighters with it, they were gone from the surface of the blue green planet.

Two more beings were on the planet earth, Kami and the young fighter Krillin. Kami was alone, sitting in a bar, it was odd to him no one yet had come up to him and asked him why he had painted his body green. No matter, he motioned to the bar keep and ordered himself some drinks, he looked around, nothing unusual. The door opened once more and a being small in stature but not so small in power walked up and motioned to the seat next to the ex guardian of Sol III. The Namek-sei-jin shrugged and turned away, Krillin taking up the seat that was there. He ordered a drink for himself, slapped some zeni on the counter and then turned his stool around.

He placed his elbows back onto the bar counter and leaned back, surveying the room. He had no idea why he was doing this but it did feel like a natural habit. He swung back around again, not minding his arm and accidentally knocked over the glass of whisky.

?Fucking hell,? The ex guardian said as he jumped up, yet to slow to miss the falling alcoholic beverage. He looked at his green robe to see how bad the stain was. Yet that was not what was on his mind.

?You just wasted perfectly good whisky you know this right?? The human nodded obviously agreeing with the Namek and put some more money down for a new one. The bartender walked over to his bottles started to pour another one but before he could get back a wind picked up inside the bar.

?Not again,? sighed Kami and they were both gone, no one in the bar knew what had happened.

The ?Bash brothers? as most have been known to call them were also on the green blue planet of earth. Koola and Furiza were up to their no good once more, killing people for the fun of it. They walked over towards a group of defenseless humans and smiled as the brought their hands back to strike them but before they could they were gone. The humans looked at each other with a bit of disbelief and ran off to tell their friends.

Namek, a peaceful planet to begin with was still peaceful. Burter and Slug, who had just finished up their quest on Frost, had decided to come back to Namek. Slug because he wanted to gain a few more techniques before he went anywhere else, and Burter because, well he had nothing better to do at the moment.

?Come on Burter, I want to try out my new powers, this is amazing.? Slug had just finished up fine tuning his Super Namek-sei-jin powers and wanted to test them out on someone other then Charango, who was lets just say extremely more powerful then him. The blue reptile hissed towards Slug and then reluctantly got off the ground, his body readying itself in the attack position.

?Now do you want me to take it eassssy on you?? Burter asked jokingly towards Slug, the Namek getting a bit irritated by this remark. The reptile laughed and charged up, Slug doing so as well. They charged towards one another and then as before the wind began to pick up and they were gone.

Gohan, Trunks, Reijin, and Goku all stood in an open field on the planet Bejita-sei, they looked towards one another.

?Are we going to do this or what?? Reijin asked towards the others. His smirk could be seen even in the pitch black night. The all smiled and agreed but before anything could be done they were gone.

They all appeared to come back at the same time, in the same place. The sky was blue, there were no huge skyscrapers, no mountains, it seemed to be a perfect place. Hills line the side of a yellow brick road and a rainbow formed over the distant castle. A sign lay of to the left of the path; it was a yellow sign with black letters. ?Welcome to Oz?

?So, what now?? Rad asked, he was the first to break the almost scary silence that had fallen among the group of warriors. They all looked around at one another; once again an uneasy silence fell over them all. Finally the silence was broken once again, this time by the only female among them.

?Follow the yellow Brick road?? She said they all looked at her in disbelief. How had she come up with that??

?Look, if we wanted some stupid thing like that we would of pulled it out of our own asses,? Furiza said he started to chuckle as he finished. 18 looked over at him a sighed.

?Look, I don?t know why I said it, just something in me says it, don?t listen to me if you don?t want to, but I say we do.?

Before she had finished Slug had already begun to walk the path. He had always been a free spirit so this was nothing new to him, but seeing as most of the group did not know him they thought he had lost it, what ever it was. Some followed; others stayed for a moment but soon followed as well, not wanting to be left behind. It was not long before they reached the castle at the end and saw two guards standing out front. Their spears were crossed in front of the huge wooden door but they moved away as the warriors grew closer.

The walked up to the door and Rad and Reijin grabbed them selves each a door and began to push. At first they moved slowly but soon picked up speed as they opened wide into an almost empty ballroom. Three tables were set up, food almost flowing off all ends. The five Saiya-jins that were there all looked at each other and smiled with glee. It had been only minutes since they had left their respective planets, and couldn?t have been more then an hour or two since they had eaten before but they did not care, food was food, and it was good. Kami sighed

?Saiya-Jins, they don?t know what?s better, food or fighting.? Slug heard this and chuckled, he knew Kami remembered him from DA, but he wanted him to forget, the best way, get on his good side. They all rushed in, found their seats, they were not assigned, so it did not matter where they sat and began the feast.

All dug in, and not a few minutes after they had the lights dimmed. A spot light rose up onto the stage that had been set up in the back and all the warriors head turned towards the center of the light. A small hunchbacked being appeared moving slowly across towards the microphone that was set in the center.

?Gentlemen and Lady?? He said, nodding towards Android 18. ?May I have your attention please. It is with great pleasure and privilege I present to you your illustrious host, the one, the only, his Almighty Evilness, the lascivious Lord of lechery, the Prince of punishment, Master of the macabre, Sultan of sadism, The King of kink, the only, the magnificent, Arch-Duke Arthur Remus Titania Waltz! The Dark Lord, Fandango!?

From behind the satin violet curtain there came a figure. The room seemed to darken in his presence. Fandango stared at each one of them through his heavy blue eyeliner. His appearance was somewhat alarming to the assembled guests. Starting from the ground and working one?s way upwards one?s attention would first be captivated by the fishnet stockings adorning the Dark Lord?s shapely feminine legs. The short trousers worn by Lord Fanny were almost certainly blue, with crescent moon patterns embroidered into each leg. A satin cloak of luxurious ruby trailed in an erroneously erotic manner behind the feast?s benefactor. The corset adorning the capacious man's protoplasm was piceous as eventide, entrancingly embellished with gratuitous gaudy miscellany and supererogatory delineations. As he stepped up to the podium, Fandango?s lipstick could be seen quite clearly; hot magenta, number forty-six, for one?s information. Beside the Dark Lord was his bodyguard, whom by the name-tag everyone had deduced him to be named Gamelak, who was a large, rather brutish fellow with a blue face which was somewhat horny. Fandango spoke, his voice lined with a fear instilling dryness, enough to dry one?s throat. The chilling voice slowly broke into song as it resonated around the hall.

Song: If the Devil had hair-spray

Verse One

(Slow Lament)
Now I was born quite long ago,
My parents, who could know?
Never waiting for the chance to even name me.

But unto me it was bestowed,
An derogatory load,
That would hump, dump, loath and strive to shame me.

Yet this load was easy shed,
Though I had to use my head,
Seven day week uneasy contemplation.

Then what luck it was to find,
A place where prying eyes were blind
And in this land I began my machinations!

And then my plot and then my scheme and then my wickedness did gleam!
And now I call you here to share all this tonight!

(Beat change, upbeat jazz)

Chorus

(Chorus)
Oh, there never was a man like ?Dango
When the shit has hit the fan it?s ?Dango

(Fandango)
And I?d guarantee you twice,
Though I wouldn?t bet your wife
If the Devil found some hairspray he?d be here!

And nonetheless I?ll tell you free,
Though I look like Sandra-Dee
If the Devil found some hairspray, that?s me!

Verse 2

(Sung by Gamelak)

Oh I served him many years
I don?t have much between the ears
But I know when I meet a man of intention

And he?d never frown to say
I had to work to earn my pay
Which incidentally isn?t much more to start a pension.

(Sung by Maid)

Just like the hairs upon his head
Perfectly shaped, albeit dead,
He?s a unanimous object of desire

And as the jealous housewives say;
?No honest girl goes ?Dango?s way?
And if they?d heard about the men they?d start a fire!

(Chorus)

Verse Three

(Sung, almost spoken by Fandango)

Now words inside your mind I see,
?What has this to do with me?
Well I?ve been looking for some manual labour.

And if you still don?t have a clue,
Perhaps this is not the place for you,
Although you shan?t be freed without a favour.

If you would draw your attention here
To this object, rather queer,
You shall soon not feel like taking a nap.

A vast estate outdoors does lie,
And to escape, you?ll have to try,
Though you?d be rather wise to consult this map.

So now I?ll whisk you on your way,
Nothing more I need to say,
Further instructions coming soon to the devout.

Yet now my weariness is vast
Now director has his cast,
Signora Viscera, please show them out.

(Chorus)

Verse 4

So we hadn?t tried in vain,
We have our pawns to play our game
Although this game shall now be do or die.

Thus obstacles I now must place,
Both foul of nature, foul of face,
What more to say other than fly my pretties fly!

The assembled fighters had been led from the main hallway into a smaller room with a projector in the centre some time just before verse four of Fandango?s song. The room seemed to be something of an armoury, with suits of armour from many different Earth periods adorning the walls. Beside each of them stood a person that in dim light one would scarcely be able to accurately sex. The maid whom had escorted them into the room stood up on a table, lifting her skirt to reveal two unbelievably hairy legs.

She spoke clearly and concisely, with a very masculine voice. Funnily enough she also had a beard.

?Thank you, for coming here today. I am Madame Viscera, lady of pain as some call me. Master Fandango was not very clear in his instructions as to the task at hand here today. You have two options. Having come to Oz, you must serve the Dark Lord for all eternity unto the ending of the world, or you have to play a game. If you choose the latter, you shall be escorted into a room to prove your worth. You shall answer a riddle, and then you shall be asked to fight a menial adversary. Based on your performance, you shall be put into teams and set loose in different entrances to the grounds. Now, along the way, you may encounter some slight? Hiccoughs. This shall be a race to the exit. Now, the race shall be divided into ?rounds? for at the end of each leg of the race there shall be a checkpoint where you shall receive your time for the round. Depending on your time, you will then set out on the next leg, with the fastest time each round receiving a prize and setting off first. There are shortcuts available by meeting certain conditions and pitfalls and traps for meeting certain others. You shall see these as you go along. I must warn you though, there will be some aspects of the race not intended. You see, a while ago, Lord Fandango was out terrorizing the land and looting villages as usual, and he happened to steal the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. Unfortunately, she doesn?t believe in the ?finders keepers? rule, and it seems she?ll be out to try and thwart this game. You shall now be led into the room I spoke of earlier. Good luck and Godspeed to you all. Try not to die too much. Bye dahlings! Ta ta now! Cheerio! Byeee!?

And with that, the contest began. Of course, Lord Fandango didn't like after-eights, and during the contest's beginning, did not eat one of the wafer thin mints. His evilness was on far more pressing issues.


Time stipulations/Rewards

In every staff-run saga, there are many chances for rewards. This happens to be one of them. Just because you are posting in this saga, does not necessarily mean that you will get a reward from us, we make all of the decisions, as usual. There are many ways to get a prize throughout the course of this saga, they include the following:

-Answering a riddle correctly will have you get 100 zeni, if the role-play in which you answered the riddle was at least fair, then it will become 250 zeni.
--Along with this, each day you are given new tasks, the faster you complete the task of the day, the earlier you receive your task for the next day. If you are the first to answer a riddle, you then get your task at 8:00 a.m.(CMT). Second gets theirs at 10:00 a.m.(CMT). The rest of the teams get theirs at 12 noon(CMT). The team that dfeats the sub-boss, gets their next day's task at 8:00 a.m.(CMT), whilst the rest get their's at 12 noon(CMT).

-Defeating a sub-boss will have the team gain 500 zeni for each member, plus a bonus can be added for each player who contributes a great deal to the death of the sub-boss.

-Staying active throughout the whole saga with a average of fair role-plays can gain you an amount of zeni that will be determined by staff.

-The team that defeats the final boss, will receive 1250, that's right, 1250 zeni for each team member, this amount can rise with the quality of the role-plays used in the final fight.

NOTE: For exceptional role-playing, larger amount of zeni prizes may be given out, as high as 2500. There may also be techniques given out to those who go beyond our expectations, so don't limit your expectations to the awards listed above, but, as always, just try your best and you will get what you deserve.

KAMI:

I think this was a hard task to complete. They both did a good job, they seem a little rushed overall at some points too, there were ideas that seemed like they hadn't been as fleshed out as they would have liked (for both teams). I liked the content of TR better on this one, TE had some good ideas as well but they seemed rushed, like I said. I'm going to have to go with TR on this one, they just appeared to have a stronger setup.

BURTER:

I haven't read it all yet, but I noticed Excelsior left out their musical

KAMI:

Yea...I noticed on their board that Tapion was freaking out because he left it off.

BURTER:

I voted Rocket. By a landslide. Much better, alot more effort, and the musical was amazing.

Excelsior left out a musical, and it just didn't seem to be as well as Rocket in any of the categories.

I definetly think Rocket pulled the upset this week

KOOLA:

Team Rocket

ANDROID 18:

I love it. Omg I love it. TR really pulled a good task this time, in my eyes. The musical kicked ASS. The villian was funny, but still shows he can be pretty bad. The whole thing still gave off an Oz feel, and I didn't stray from reading it. Though Gamelak's description wasn't finished, and there were some errors in the RP and stuff, I liked it. This was appealing, not only because it seemed to have elements of Rocky Horror Picture show (one of my favs) but it just...it seemed alive, and inviting.

TE did a good job, but their whole thing was bland. There was no musical, which was disappointing. They talk about "The Lockouts" but I didn't see anything about that...I didn't like the summuries. I ended up losing interest and straying from reading the whole thing. They presented well, but they lacked that fun and life that TR had in their's. TE's also didn't seem to give off the feeling that it was OZ, sure there was some in it...but not as much as TR's gave off. Also...it made me feel like it was a tournament O_o.

Anyway I vote for TR. They did very well in this task, Slug lead the team well.

Quote:?Gentlemen and Lady?? He said, nodding towards Android 18. ?May I have your attention please. It is with great pleasure and privilege I present to you your illustrious host, the one, the only, his Almighty Evilness, the lascivious Lord of lechery, the Prince of punishment, Master of the macabre, Sultan of sadism, The King of kink, the only, the magnificent, Arch-Duke Arthur Remus Titania Waltz! The Dark Lord, Fandango!?

That gets like...50 cool points.

TRUNKS:
