  1. I'm not sure if this technically counts, but when I first found BZPower I didn't sign up for around 5 months. Other than that, I've left for a couple of months twice I think, but I've always come back.-don't touch my pocket protector
  2. Megablocks are basically bootleg Lego's. I think one of their lines was a rip-off of Bionicles.Alternatively, you could view Bionicles as bootleg Transformers .-don't touch my pocket protector
  3. Episode Five Shadowy Figure: Hey, what’s that smell coming out of the dungeons? Go and check that out!Evil Minions: Yes, master.[…]Shadowy Figure: Oh #####, I forgot about those manatee people we left in the dungeons! That was weeks ago!Announcer: Well, at least, they lost weight!Shadowy Figure: :glare:Announcer; But I think I’ve got the perfect thing for you!Shadowy Figure: What?Announcer: Forget-Me 360!Shadowy Figure: What?Announcer: Have you ever done something wrong and want to forget what happened?Shadowy Figure: Well, I’ve done some bad things that I wished more people remembered…Announcer: Doesn’t matter, because I’m sure there are some BZPower users out there who have!Evil Minions: You bet!Announcer: Ever linked to an image you wished you hadn’t? Said something to a moderator that seemed like a good idea at the time?Evil Minions: Yeah!Announcer: Then Forget-Me 360 is just the right thing for you!Evil Minions: Wow!Announcer: When you activate Forget-Me 360, you’ll completely forget what you did, thus giving you plausible deniability in your discussion with staff!Evil Minions: Amazing!Announcer: With this amazing product, you can honestly say “I don’t recall” to every question asked of you! When you use it, it looks something like this:Evil Minions: Oooooh! Snazzy!Announcer: You won’t know a thing happened! Here’s an example of Forget-Me 360 in action: Evil Minions: Amazing!Shadowy Figure: Yes, but what if I want to publicize killing those Manatee People so people remember how super evil I am?Announcer: Don’t worry, just use Forget-Me 360 in reverse!Shadowy Figure: How?Announcer: It’s easy!Announcer: And now you’ll constantly be putting this in every post you make to make sure that everybody on BZPower will remember it!Evil Minions: Wow!Announcer: Just check it out: Evil Minions: Amazing!Shadowy Figure: That’s just what I need!Announcer: You bet! Now everybody will know how you killed those manatee people!Shadowy Figure: Sweet!Announcer: Yes, this product is super sweet, so you need to call now!Evil Minions: Call now!
  4. Well, how could Takanuva's shots of light do any damage if it was just visible light? It would basically just blind people, but it couldn't really hurt them if it was just visible light.-don't touch my pocket protector
  5. 1. Pure speculation here, but i think that much of that would be up to the mask maker. Certain shapes may focus certain powers better, just like certain building shapes serve certain functions better. The archietect in this case would have to mold the building to its purpose, much like a mask maker would have to mold the mask to its purpose.2. I believe that was due to the exposure with the mutant water of Mahri Nui. Basically, it's the same reason why the Toa themselves changed.3. That may be theorhetically possible, but the mask's power might overwhelm the Turaga.4. I think that any Toa could use a Nuva mask (not entirely sure on this). As for Turaga using this property of the masks, I would guess no, but I'm not sure.5. The Vahi would transform into whatever. If it's destroyed then it would screw up time like in Time Trap. We have no way of knowing what it would transform into. Fanfic bait perhaps?-don't touch my pocket protector
  6. Nostalgia's washing over me right now. That's pretty awesome.
  7. I always liked the Bionicle songs that Cyroshell released, but I never listened to any of their other music. Actually, this thread has encouraged me to that that now!-don't touch my pocket protector
  8. I remember being really exited at each new line that came out.Also, a few months ago I got into DnD and built a minifig to represent my character. Digging through piles of LEGO Bricks to find the perfect piece brought up some fond memories.-don't touch my pocket protector
  9. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091225210503/meme/images/9/97/9000Techno.gifPlease do not post images larger than 500 kB. -B6it's going to be weird looking at sets with five digit numbers instead of four. I guess it's a good sign for Lego, though .-don't touch my pocket protector
  10. I think that only Toa destined to form Kaita can form them. The Toa Mata were destined to do so and so they could, whereas other Toa teams weren't. Or maybe the Mata were the first Toa to figure it out, and later Toa just didn't have the opportunity to do it?-don't touch my pocket protector
  11. Episode Four Announcer: Has this ever happened to you?Author: I promised to write an episode for my BZPower story this week, but I’m too lazy to do it.Evil Minions: Yes!Announcer: Well then you need Excuse-Generator 5000!Evil Minions: Wow!Announcer: This amazing new product is super easy to use and get your super-pesky fans off your back!Evil Minions: Amazing!Announcer: Here’s how it works: simply input what you forgot to post, click the GENERATE button, and presto! There’s your excuse!Evil Minions: UnbelievableAnnouncer: Yes! There are thousands of excuses available such as:“I’ve been really busy.”“The dog ate my draft”And the exceptionally rich:“My computer got a virus.”Author: Wow! That’s just what I need!Announcer: Of course you do! If that was all, then you would have one amazing product, right?Evil Minions: Right!Announcer: But is it all?Evil Minions: No!Announcer: Of course not, because Excuse Generator 5000 will even make the post for you!Evil Minions: No way!Announcer: Yes way! Just check out what those those posts look like:“Man I’m so sorry but I can’t post my new chapter because my dog ate the draft.”“Unfortunately I’m sick and won’t be able to put up a new chapter.”And my personal favorite:“Sorry I didn't post a chapter yesterday, but unfortunately my computer got infected with a virus. I'll try to post a new chapter ASAP.”Evil Minions: Wow!Announcer: How does it accomplish this? Well, it accesses your account to automatically post your excuse! You don’t have to do anything so you can go back to procrastinating on writing your chapter!Evil Minions: Nice!Announcer: But Excuse Generator 5000 will do MORE than that!Evil Minions: More?Announcer: You bet! Because Excuse Generator 5000 will also create several fake accounts to back you up!Evil Minions: What?Announcer: Want to get those annoying fans off your case?Author: Oooooooh yeah.Announcer: Well these fake accounts will give you support and flame disgruntled fans into submission!Evil Minions: Awesome!Announcer: Check out what I mean: DITTO!Evil Minions: Wow!Shadowy Figure: Hey, is that the infamous DITTO! Virus again?Announcer: Nah, we’ve totally taken care of that, right Gary?Gary: :shrugs:Announcer: See? Totally safe!Evil Minions: Yeah!Author: Dude, that’s totally what I need! I’m buying now!

And right now you can get the Excuse-Generator 5000 cheaper than ever!Evil Minions: No way!Announcer: Yes, if you call right now then you’ll get this amazing product for ONLY four easy payments of $49.95!Author: ONLY four easy payments $49.95 to convince all my fans that I’m not a complete lazy bum? Count me in!Announcer: Consider yourself counted in! Now do YOU want to be counted in, too?Evil Minions: YEAH!Announcer: Then order right now!Sorry about the delay on this chapter. Unfortunately my computer actually did get a virus (or did it ? ) and the twin evils of a busy schedule and flat out procrastination conspired to prevent me from getting this chapter out on time. I'll post the next chapter in two weeks (hopefully).
  12. Sorry I didn't post a chapter yesterday, but unfortunately my computer got infected with a virus. I'll try to post a new chapter ASAP.-don't touch my pocket protector
  13. Well, religion and philosphy have tried for millennia to answer that exact question.Personally, I think that the word "destiny" actually means "purpose". The Toa Nuva's purpose was to reawaken Mata-Nui in the event of Mata-Nui falling comatose. The Toa Metru's purpose was to save the matoran of Metru-Nui. I think beings can choose to go against their destiny. Just look at Nidikhi. However, they still have that purpose in them, whether they choose to fullfill it or not. I always shy away from the idea that the indivdual toa had no choice in their actions and tha their destiny was a forgone conclusion. If that was the case, then what's the purpose of even trying? If I'll fullfill my destiny no matter what then I'll just sit on the beach and drink beer all day while my destiny is fullfilled.-don't touch my pocket protector
  14. Personally, I found it a little hard to believe that the Agori/Glatorian were mostly biological given their artwork and set representation. Still, from a story perspective it did not bother me that much. It helped to set the Agori/Glatorian apart from the inhabitants of the MU.-don't touch my pocket protector
  15. Episode Three Announcer: hmmmmm, I wonder what we can sell this time?Shadowy Figure: Well, there really isn’t much that we can sell right now, but maybe we could….Announcer: Hey! What’s that?Announcer points towards a puddle of mysterious green slimeShadowy Figure: Oh, that pools out from the floor all the time. This Super Evil Lair was built on an old nuclear plant and some of the radioactive wastes leaks sometimes.Announcer: What happens if you drink it?Shadowy Figure: Why would you want to drink it?Announcer: I dunno, why would you want to drink Mountain Dew?Shadowy Figure: Good point.Announcer: Has anybody ever drank it before?Shadowy Figure: Well, a couple of minions did, and they were jumping off the walls for weeks. They never slept at all.Announcer: :biggrin:Shadowy Figure: What?Camera Cuts to Announcer’s faceAnnouncer: Do you want to get your post count up on BZPower?Evil Minions: Yes!Announcer: Is there not enough time in the day for you to post?Evil Minions: Yes!Announcer: Then you need Post-Power 3000!Evil Minions: What?Announcer: Post-Power 3000 is an amazing beverage that gives YOU energy to post 24 hours a day!Evil Minions: Wow!Announcer: Did you know that on average you spend 8 hours a day sleeping?Evil Minions: No way!Announcer: Yes way! And that’s time that you could be spending inflating your post count on BZPower!Evil Minions: Yeah!Announcer: But with Post-Power 3000, you won’t have to sleep at all, and can spend all your time productively, by posting on BZPower!Evil Minions: All right!Announcer: Post-Power 3000 is specially brewed in state-of-the-art facilities featuring cutting edge technology!Evil Minions: OOOOOOH!Announcer: And each batch is personally tested by one of our beverage connoisseurs to ensure optimal energy content!

I boosted my post count from 1,300 to 5,000 in only a week! :br:Satisfied Customer Two: I couldn’t post enough on BZPower before Post-Power 3000 came around, now I can post 24/7! :br:Satisfied Customer Three: Before my real life kept on encroaching my BZPower life! Now I just drink Post-Power 3000 and post all day long! After all, who needs a life when you can have BZPower! :br:Shadowy Figure: Wait, how could you find positive customer testimonials so quickly?Announcer: Ah! A magician never reveals his tricks!Evil Minions: Ahhhh!Announcer: But a top-tier BZPower poster does, and it’s Post-Power 3000Secret BZPower Poster: I’ve got over 15,000 posts on BZPower, and I owe it all to Post-Power 3000.Announcer: Do you want Post-Power 3000?Evil Minions: Yes!Announcer: Then you need to call 1-800-POST-NOW right now!Evil Minions: Yes!Announcer: If you call right now then you’ll get a full six-pack of Post-Power 3000 for only four EASY payments of $19.95!Evil Minions: What a deal!Announcer: Oh really?

Because if you use your credit card when you order, then we’ll drop a full payment!Evil Minions: Unbelievable!Announcer: That means you get a full six-pack of Post-Power 3000 and the limited edition foam cup holder for only THREE easy payments of $19.95!Evil Minions: Call now![…]Announcer: So, what do you think?Shadowy Figure: Well, if you can sell radioactive sludge, then you can sell anything.Announcer: You bet!
  16. Well, in the early years of Bionicle it seemed like the matoran had a semi-religious relationship with Mata-Nui, but it turns out that Mata-Nui was a robot and not a god. However, it's unclear if the matoran believed in any sort of afterlife regarding that relationship. Really anything dealing with afterlife in Bionicle is pure speculation.-don't touch my pocket protector
  17. I was wondering, is it okay to embedd videos from video sites on BZPower?-don't touch my pocket protector
  18. Morgan Freeman? The girl from Hunger Games? Wow. I'm really suprised at the star power that Lego was able to bring in for this. As for the movie itself, I'm not going to judge it yet with just what we've heard. The details on the plot are very sparse, so it's hard to tell how cliche it will be yet. Still, I wonder where on the Morgan Freeman hierarchy this movie will fall. Somehwere between God (Bruce Almighty) and a convicted murderer (Shawshank Redemption).-don't touch my pocket protector
  19. Episode Two Voice behind door: Can we come in?Shadowy Figure: Sure, let me get the door.The Shadowy Figure opens the doorShadowy Figure: Welcome to the Super Evil Lair Resort & Spa!Female voice: Thank you!A family of four walk in, all of them wearing flip flops, tacky shirts, and displaying the approximate physique of manatees. Two rotund boys of six and eight are slurping on popsicles.Older Manatee-Sized Boy: Stop!Younger Manatee-Sized Boy: No, you stop!Manatee-Sized Woman: Boys!Announcer (sliding in sleazily): Hey, you look like you could use Dungeon-LossManatee-Sized Man: What?Announcer: Have you tried weight-loss programs in the past that never seem to work?Manatee-Sized Man: Well, yeah…what made you think that!Shadowy Figure: You carried yourself with a certain…disposition that suggested that you—Announcer (butting in): Are you tired of being fat?Manatee-Sized Man: Hey! That’s offensive!Shadowy Figure (whispering): What are you doing?Announcer (whispering): Let me handle this; I’m a professional. (shouting in normal voice) Well, you are tired of being fat, right?Manatee-Sized Man: I’LL BEAT YOU UP YOU PUNK!!!Manatee-Sized Man: Honey, I think you should calm down and listen to the man. He seems honest.Announcer: Oh yes ma’am, I do have a certain reputation for integrity.Shadowy Figure: <_<Announcer: Regardless, I know the perfect program for you!Manatee-Sized Man: What?Announcer: Dungeon-Loss is a brand-new program guaranteed to get you into your skinny jeans!Manatee-Sized Woman: Really?Announcer: That’s right! With Dungeon-Loss our very own Dungeon Master…say high Dungeon Master!Shadowy Figure: It’s hi, not high. You know that I’m against recreational drugs.Announcer: That’s right! Did I mention that this whole process is completely drug-free?Shadowy Figure: You didn’t complete your thought. That leaves your previous line as a sentence fragment. Spelling and grammar errors? What is this coming to?Announcer: Did I mention that our Dungeon Master is also a grammar nazi?Shadowy Figure: Announcer: Anyway, with Dungeon-Loss, our very own Dungeon Master will throw you into a Dungeon where you will be fed half a loaf of stale bread and a cup of water every day!Manatee-Sized Woman: That sounds scary.Announcer: Oh don’t worry! You’ll have all the comforts of home such as a floor, roof, and door with a lock!Manatee-Sized Man: Wait, if this is a weight loss program then won’t we have to eat fruits and veggies?Manatee-Sized Family: [shudder]Announcer: Dungeon-Loss is completely different! With this program you won’t be starving yourself to get skinny. Instead you’ll be starving yourself in style! And we all know that’s it’s the style that counts!Manatee-Sized Woman: That is a good point!Announcer: Of course it’s a good point; I thought of it! With our comprehensive approach you are guaranteed to get to a healthy weight or lower in only four weeks!Manatee-Sized Man: No way!Announcers: Yes way! Still don’t believe me? Take a look at the photographic evidence! In only four weeks this fat, ugly person:Changed to this:Announcer: But that’s not all!

Our patented weight-lost beast will chase you all the way around to make sure you get your workout in!Pit-Monster: Snarl!Manatee-Sized Woman: That sounds kind of dangerous.Announcer: I assure you, the entire program has passed all safety regulation as entirely legal.Well-Dressed Lawyer: ;)Announcer: It’s designed for people who will only exercise if they’re afraid of being eaten!Manatee-Sized Woman: Ah, now I see!Announcer: And right now you can get the best deal ever on Dungeon-Loss!Manatee-Sized Woman: Really?Announcer: Yes!

  20. This is a kind of sad/nostalgic topic. But I was thinking about the things that Bionicle taught me. Since Bionicle was the first real canon that I followed, it taught me how follow a story across multiple platforms. It also showed me many elements of group dynamics, and how to manage a group of very different people. What have you learned from Bionicle?-don't touch my pocket protector
  21. My familiy has always liked Lego, and everytime either of my parents see me playing with Lego they get very happy. So, yeah, I've got awesome parents.-don't touch my pocket protector
  22. Sorry I wasn't able to post a chapter yesterday when I should, but life has kicked into high gear for me and I don't think I can sustain a weekly release schedule. From now on I'm going to release a new chapter every other Saturday, starting next Saturday.-don't touch my pocket protector
  23. Sorry for this one getting delayed by a day, but unfortunately there are two kinds of things I have to do every week. One is write this comedy, and two is everything else. This week, the latter got more time than the former Episode One In a thoroughly creepy, inhospitable hall in what appears to be a secret evil lair…Announcer: So what’s this place?Shadowy Figure: That’s the welcome hall.Announcer: Ah.Shadowy Figure: So, have you considered my offer?Announcer: Yes! I’ve had my lawyer look over it.Well-Dressed Lawyer: (cough) The following parties have heretofore adopted the proposal to transfer full control of the assets of Useless BZPower Junk that you Must Ha—Shadowy Figure: I’m familiar with what I wrote you moron! So are you willing to make commercials for me to my cliental?Announcer: Well, I’m not sure if I can agree to the whole “sell your soul and pledge eternal featly to the title-holder” part of the contract.Shadowy Figure: Um…Announcer: Gotcha! I’m totally in!Shadowy Figure: Why, you gave me a start there. As you know, I don’t conduct business with anybody whose soul I don’t possess. Anyway, that is most agreeable.Announcer: Awesome! When can I start shouting at a camera?Shadowy Figure: Uh, whenever you feel like it…Camera changes to close-up of Announcer’s faceAnnouncer: Are you tired of ordinary vacations?Shadowy Figure: Um…Announcer: Come on man! Give me some audience participation here!Shadowy Figure: Okay…minions.Evil Minions: Yeah!Announcer: Is relaxing on a sunny beach boring you?Evil Minions: Yeah!Announcer: Are you dying to spend your summers somewhere more exciting!Evil Minions: Yeah!Announcer: Then you might just die when you visit the Super Evil Lair Resort & Spa!Shadowy Figure: Wait, are you turning my evil lair into a motel?Evil Minions: Yeah!Shadowy Figure: Shut up!Announcer: Two things. One, it’s not a motel, it’s a Resort & Spa. Motels don’t have hot tubs.Two. I’M A FRIGGIN GENIUS AT MARKETING, SO SHUT UP!!!Shadowy Figure: Yeah, your last marketing venture worked out great…Announcer: Hey, I’m a professional at this!Shadowy Figure: Fine, at least this is…amusing. And if it doesn’t work out I’ve always got my pit monsters to send on him.Pit Monsters: Growl!Announcer: Anyway, as I was saying…darn, you made me lose my train of thought!Shadowy Figure: I thought you were a professional.Announcer: Fine, let’s take it from the top.Camera changes to close up of Announcer’s face…Announcer: Are you tired of ordinary vacations?Shadowy Figure: Um…Announcer: Come on man! Give me some audience participation here!Shadowy Figure: Okay…minions.Evil Minions: Yeah!Announcer: Is relaxing on a sunny beach boring you?Evil Minions: Yeah!Announcer: Are you dying to spend your summers somewhere more exciting!Evil Minions: Yeah!Announcer: Then you might just die when you visit the Super Evil Lair Resort & Spa!Evil Minions: Yay!Announcer: at the Super Evil Lair Resort & Spa you’ll be treated like an evil overlord!Evil Minions: Amazing!Announcer: You’ll walk through our dank, cobwebbed welcome hall, dine with zombies in the living room, and observe medieval torture instruments in action in our fun room!Evil Minions: Wow!Announcer: After a good night’s sleep to the soothing sound of our resident ghoul screaming in the attic, you can enjoy all the luxurious of the Evil Lair Resort & Spa!Evil Minions: Like what?Announcer: Mount an undead horseand play polo in our graveyard. Or take him out for a relaxing ride through the jungle, meeting wraiths, golems, and wolves all along your way!Evil Minions: Nice!Announcers: Not an animal person? Well, you can still relax in our blood tub! Filled with real blood from previous customers!**talk to your doctor before bathing in another person’s blood.**blood is Bionicle canon, right?Evil Minions: Awesome!Announcers: But that’s not all! You can visit our Ghost Hall where you can chat with ghosts of famous dead people! Check it out in action:Ghost of Sidorak: Believe it or not kids, I was actually kind of a big deal back in 2005, hur hur hur! People say I died because I was naïve, but I like to think it was because Lego wasn’t crazy about my whole marriage thing with Roodaka.Ghost of Makuta Teridax: I GOT KILLED BY A ROCK?!?!?!Matoro: Seriously, I save the entire universe and then I’m dumped here for all eternity!Announcer: So how much does such a luxury vacation cost? Well, right now, you and your family can enjoy all that the Super Evil Lair Resort & Spa has to offer for only $499 per night!Evil Minions: Wow!Announcer: So you call 1-800-EVIL-SPA right now!Evil Minions: Yeah![…]Announcer: So, what did you think?Shadowy Figure: Pit Monsters!Pit Monsters: Growl!Announcer: NO! Just please give me one last ch—Door Bell: DING!Voice: Hey, is this the Super Evil Lair Resort & Spa?Announcer: See, I am a genius!Shadowy Figure:
  24. The image is a little blurry but I think that's because of the camera. As for the drawing itself, you did a good job on the proportions, except for his left hand. It looks bigger than his right hand. Speaking of the hands, I think the drawing would look better if you could add wrists. It looks like his hands just flow into arms. It would be great if you could find some way to draw a mechanical-looking joint in there.Other than that, I think it's pretty good. Much better than I could ever do .-don't touch my pocket protector
  25. IT'S BAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKK!!!!!! Prologue Up on a super-secret mountain, in a super-evil lair…Shadowy Figure: So, my brother’s long-standing project has at last ended…Evil Minion: Yes, my lord.Shadowy Figure: Yes, he has written on this so called “comedy” for months, and now it’s bankrupt. It doesn’t surprise me.Evil Minion: Yes, my lord.Shadowy Figure: He plans for it to return on his…birthday. Well, I need to send him a message.Evil Minion: Yes, my lord.Shadowy Figure: My dear twin—are you writing this down?Evil Minion: Yes, my lord.Shadowy Figure: Excellent. My dear twin, now that your enterprise has failed, I believe it’s my turn to take over. I would like to commandeer UBZPJTUMH as a present to myself. Do you know why?Because it’s my birthday too!!![evil laugh]Make sure you write down that evil laugh.Evil Minion: Yes, my lord.Shadowy Figure: Good, it adds punctuation, you see. Now read it back.Evil Minion: Yes, my lord.[awkward pause]Shadowy Figure: Are you going to read it?Evil Minion: Yes, my lord.Shadowy Figure: Can you say anything else?Evil Minion: Yes, my lord.Shadowy Figure: Um, is that the only thing you can say.Evil Minion: Yes, my lord.Shadowy Figure: ARG! WHEN I TOLD MY EVIL SCIENTIST TO CREATE A YES-MINION I DIDN’T MEAN IT THAT LITERALLY!!!On a busy street corner, a bearded man dressed in rags with an obnoxiously loud voice is yelling at passersby. He is holding what is appears to be a garbage can lid.Announcer: With this amazing new product you can cook your family a meal in 30 seconds flat! Yes, the Stir-Fry-Sizzler 8000 is the only way to stir-fry that gives you that authentic taste! And it’s so simple to use! Gary!Gary, also dressed in rags, pushes out an oil drum which appears to have a fire in it.Announcer: Check this out! Using our Super-Fryer (which is also available for an amazingly low price) we can cook up an amazing meal! Just find a delicious morsel…um…Announcer looks around for something to cook.Announcer: Aha! Here, a delicious mouse!Mouse: Squeak!Announcer: Just throw that in there!Stir-Fry-Sizzler 8000: Sizzle!Mouse: Sizzle!Announcer: And now you have a delicious meal! What do you think a product like this would be worth?Random guy on sidewalk: Um, I don’t know.Announcer: Come on man, work with me here!Random guy on sidewalk: Uh, maybe a couple of bucks.Announcer: Seriously? That’s an insult!Random guy on sidewalk: [shrug]Announcer: This high-quality product is worth at least $19.95! And that’s a bargain!Random guy on sidewalk: Yeah…I guess.Announcer: What if I throw in the Super-Fryer for free?Random guy on sidewalk: Look, I’ve got this thing that I have to do. You may not know what it is. It’s called WORK!Announcer: Fine, be like that, and NEVER EAT A QUALITY STIR-FRY IN YOUR LIFE!Gary: Questioning LookAnnouncer: Gary, you don’t have to say that, we still have an author who can write actions!Mysterious Man: Yes, about that…Announcer: What? Who are you?Mysterious Man: It appears as if your author quit his job after you picked up the mouse.Announcer: So who’s writing this?Mysterious Man: You’ll soon find out…To be continued…Next week I will not be able to post a chapter due to an unexpected trip. However, you can expect a new chapter the next week. Hope you enjoy!-don't touch my pocket protector
