The Fire Rising

So I'm just chatting with one of my irl friends whilst browsing BZPower, and we're flipping through the different library clubs (ECC, SSCC, CCC, Ambage, CFE), and in the middle of looking through different posts, he stops me.
 
Then he says that a lot of the posts are like the speech Darth Sidious made to the Senate in Star Wars Episode III, and the church in Dishonored (I haven't played this, so I dunno if this part is correct).
 
I asked him why and he says this:
 
 

It sounds like they are proclaiming themselves as being this 'amazing' group that will help everyone, while in reality it never lives up to that and often contains a certain level of corruption....

 
That's a pretty funny description to give to the clubs on a website for a children's toy, don't you think?

Not so sneaky
 
BUT I DONOT CARE IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO CLICK THIS LONG LINK
 
no but srsly please click that link and tell me what you think either in the topic or in this blog entry, because this is probably the most important story i've ever posted
(whic admittedly isn't saying much but ssshhh)

I have changed my name to yet another new-but-not-really-new name!
Also because I hatehatehate two entries within a close time period, the third AfterWords preview is included here too. Here Furno plays a little prank on Takanuva Stars.
 
“What is it?” Takanuva Stars asked.
 
“I’m... I’m really scared right now.”
 
“What do I care?” Takanuva Stars asked. “Keep climbing, we’re seriously right there.”
 
“No, you don’t understand! My jetpacks, I can’t control them! They’re about to turn on!”
 
“Your jetpacks can turn on?!” Takanuva Stars cried.
 
“Yes!” Furno wailed. “They’re turning on right now! You’re gonna be blasted into oblivion! Jump while you still can!”
 
“But it’ll be painful!”
 
“I don’t want you to die!” Furno cried. “Jump, save yourself!”
 
Takanuva Stars nodded, saluted the hero, and pushed himself off of the wall. He never knew what he was planning to think on the way down, because the fall lasted all of two seconds before he smacked onto the floor front first.
 
“Oh snap... and crackle... I’m fairly certain I heard a pop.” Takanuva Stars groaned.
 
From above there came a sudden violent burst of laughter that, after a few long seconds, clearly wasn’t going to stop. Takanuva Stars slowly stood to his feet and glared up to where Furno was in the exact same spot as before, laughing so hard he could’ve sworn that the Hero Factory set was about to begin crying.
 
“Oh holy Tohu, that was hilarious!” Furno gasped from above, his chest heaving as he struggled to stop laughing. “I can’t – I can’t believe you fell for that, Hahaha!”
 
 
 

This preview brought to you by the iBrow Voltex Censoring Committee. Needless to say, I am hiding someone's name and hints to their name from you. Have fun!


“You name was CENSORED?” Rocka questioned. “I don’t get it.”

“Well, there were two others by the name of CENSORED, but... they’re gone now. So I just go by CENSORED these days.”

“What happened to the other two?” Rocka asked.

“Rocka, how about we shut up, eh?” Evo suggested. “Quite frankly, I don’t think CENSORED wants to talk about it. Look at CENSORED, CENSORED’s sad now. And you, Rocka, are boring me to tears. I suggest we venture down into the darkness now before we’re caught, so that we have the opportunity to come running back up screaming like maniacs later.”

“Evo, you know what?”

“Yes Rocka?”

“You have a way with words that immediately makes me want to kill myself.”

“I try my best.”

Rocka sighed and decided to inspect the miniscule details of his launcher to avoid continuing his conversation with Evo. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see CENSORED struggling (and failing) not to giggle as CENSORED turned around and began to descend into the basement.

Coming up over the next few days until the release of The Afterwords on December 7th, I'll be treating the three readers of this blog to previews of scenes from the first season.
In this first preview, we get a delicious sample of the Rocka & Evo combination and witness Rocka win out in a subtle argument about the show "Red vs. Blue".


Evo sighed and shook his head, plopping back down on the couch to continue watching the last few scenes of Season 6. Rocka chuckled and hopped over, poking Evo in the back with his crossbow and then jumping down to the floor with a very clear air of victory about him. Evo mumbled something unintelligible under his breath, and Rocka paused.

“Would you care to repeat that for my ancient, withering ears?”

“I said that someday I’ll find a way to beat you in one of those arguments.”

“That is extremely unlikely, considering I’ve beaten you in all 16 of them so far.”

“...I’m just gonna finish my show.”

“You do that. Let me know how it works out for you once you’ve hit Season 9.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?!”

“Well, everyone who’s seen every season agrees that Season 9 sucks.”

“Nothing could be worse than Season 3.”

“At least Season 3 had a plot.”

“...oh dear lord, you have to be kidding me.”

“You know Evo, for once, I wish I was kidding. You’ll have to suffer through it on your own this time I’m afraid.”

“I think I’ll finish this later. I need a bagel right now.”

“See what I mean, fatso? Your solution to every problem – go to the fridge.”

“No it isn’t, stupid!”

“Give me one time it wasn’t.”

“Rocka, how often do you find peanut butter and bagels in the fridge?”

“...I’m just gonna let that one go.”

Stay tuned; Preview 2 coming tomorrow or alternatvely Tuesday!
