Introduction
Good morning to all the space newts and evil lords out there! I’m your resident killer-of-worlds and radio host, DJ Raven! And this is the first installment of the most amazing race in the universe!
But first, a word from our sponsors. Unless you guys have been living under a rock (no offense to all those space newts keeping it real in the ozone,) you’re probably aware of the fact that the evil – but completely gorgeous and amazing goddess who would never kill me, please, oh god – dark space witch Celeste has taken over our dimension and given the place a major overhaul! And she didn’t just switch out the carpets and the drapes, man. No, our beautiful dark goddess is all about the entertainment factor.
And you know who’s her entertainment?
That’s right, you guys –
Us!
So join us as sixteen unlucky contestants duke it out across seven worlds in the most epic of all epic races. The stakes? Why, nothing less than the complete destruction of their homeworlds, of course! The odds? Minimal to none.
The goal?
Say it with me now, all you weeping kids at home clutching your pearls –
Kill Celeste!
Positions
Never fear! We have our valiant sacrifices – ahem, sorry, contestants – to save us from complete and utter destruction! And luckily, each planet gets two representatives: one sword and one shield.
Sword
What about those swords, huh? Those are the people that are essentially the racers – they start off in the first world, racing against time and space to claim a shield and kill Celeste. They each get their own Deus Ex Machina device, that radical piece of technology that looks like a cell phone but has all the following capabilities and more: cell phone use, Internet, teleportation device between worlds, and even a short time travel span where you can travel five minutes into either the future or the past (once).
Pity that these guys are more or less useless without their shields! Yeah, they can use a gun or a sword – but what’s that gonna do against magic?
Shield
A sword ain’t nothing without a shield. Basically, if a sword is lucky enough, a shield will ask them to form a contract with them. Unfortunately, they can’t form a contract with the sword from their home world! Sucks, right? They have to work with the enemy. But it’s totally worth it, you know why? Because forming a contract with a sword will enable both of them to use a special magic spell unique to the shield’s home world, provided they stay within a twenty feet radius. Shields also get their own Deux Ex Machina, but it has less options. Basically, they can teleport to the Waiting Room – more details on that later – or they can call one of the swords and give them permission to come rescue them and form a contract.
Shields start off in a room at the top of a tall tower located in their home world. They have a bed, a toilet, some amenities in a fridge, and a television set. That’s it. But they’re watching the race along with us – and they can decide whom they want to contract with, if anyone. If you’re a sword, you better be asking – will they pick you?
Heart Stones
Okay, this ain’t a person, but these little babies are, like, super important, you guys! What’s shaped like a heart, fits in the palm of your hand, and is completely indestructible? No clue? Let me throw some more hints planet-side, then! What does a contestant absolutely need in order to get into one of the seven towers? That’s right! We’re talking about heart stones, baby! We’ll talk more about these guys when I get to the rules of the race, but tattoo this on your scales, people – these guys are extremely important.
Rules of the Race
Okay, so here’s how it’s going to go down. All the contestants start in the same area on the first stage. They each start off with two heart stones. I fire the starting pistol. Celeste will link their Deux Ex Machina to the location of random heart stones, as well as the location of the tower. Celeste told me herself that she will choose the number of available heart stones based on the current status of the race, but that she has already decided on three heart stones for the first stage.
Pay attention, folks – this part is important. They will need at least three heart stones to enter the tower. They are allowed to ally with other people to open the tower: for example, three people can each use one heart stone to open the tower, or one person can use two heart stones and another person can use one heart stone. You cannot wait for other people to open the tower and then run into the tower – Celeste is watching, and she will smite you where you stand. I guess you can try it if you’re suicidal, though. You lose any and all heart stones you use to open a tower, so it would be exceptionally stupid to use all three of your heart stones to open the tower if you only have three.
So yeah, people will have to work together. Or they can kill each other and take the heart stones. Whatever works!
Once you’re in the tower, you have three options:
-You can rescue the shield. If that shield likes you, they will form a contract with you. If that shield doesn’t like you, you will have wasted your time. It might be best to wait for a text from a shield, but if you’re desperate, you might as well give it a try.
-You can get some advice from Meryl. Meryl will be hanging out in the tower, and she has one piece of cryptic but important advice for anyone willing to listen.
-You can kill Celeste. This is the end goal of each tower. You’re not really killing Celeste so much as a version of Celeste, but the idea is pretty much the same. Run to the boss chambers and she’ll take you on. Now hold on a second, guys! I can already hear you saying – how about everyone in the game just bum-rushes her? Well, first of all, you just used the word bum-rush, so props. But Celeste gets stronger the more people that challenge her. If one person challenges her? Yeah, she’ll pretty much just stand there while you stick her with your sword. Five people challenge her? Yeah, they’re prolly all gonna die. Anyone who is in the chamber when Celeste bites it – well, they will get compensated for their entry fee, so that’s pretty cool. Celeste does not get stronger as the stages wear on, although Meryl’s trials probably will. More on that later.
-These options can only be done once. You can also only do one option. If you save a shield, you cannot fight Celeste. If you speak to Meryl, you cannot fight Celeste. You get the idea.
-There is a penalty for not entering the tower and/or not choosing one of the options when they’re available – you lose one heart stone.
They must kill Celeste, folks. If they don’t, Celeste will get bored and kill everyone in this dimension within the week.
But wait! They won’t be able to get those options so easily. Meryl will be on hand to give them trials, which they will have to pass in order to get to the end goal. There is a specific trial for each tower end goal. I’ve heard that Meryl’s trials are really a doozy – this is where having a contract with a shield will really come in handy for a sword.
After Celeste is killed, the tower will be considered -cleared-. You can still go back and rescue the shield and/or speak to Meryl, but the race will essentially move on to the next stage. To the same token, you can technically jump to a later stage if a shield contacts you and you can pay the three heart stone fee and pass the resulting trial – but the only thing you can do there is save the shield. You cannot face the Celeste of that stage until the entire race reaches that stage.
After a stage has been cleared, our brave heroes get a two day break! That’s the time they should use for forming alliances, recuperating from injuries, and drinking a lot of alcohol to numb their existential pain. They can also rescue shields during this time period, if they so desire. They can even go back and listen to a piece of Meryl’s advice that may have been missed on an earlier stage.
After two days, the rat race begins again.
So what happens if they reach the last stage and all the worlds are still alive? That’s when the free-for-all starts. Basically, only one world is allowed to survive. The contestants will have to force one of the many defeat conditions on each other, which I will talk about in a minute –
Conditions of World Destruction
Those swords and shields better be bringing their ballin’ best! There are several ways that our home worlds can die before they even reach the last lap.
The sword loses all their heart stones. If a sword and a shield are allied, then they must both lose all of their stones. Lol. That sentence was funny.
The sword dies before allying with a shield. (The shield of that world will move to another world, and they will still be able to ally with someone. But will they want to?)
The sword and the shield are allied, but they both die.
Please note that a shield can die, and the world won’t die. Likewise, if a sword is allied with a shield, then the sword can die and the world won’t die. Well, yet.
The winner is nothing less than the last world standing!
The Seven Worlds
You’ve gotta love the charming new names that Celeste gave our home planets! They really capture the essence of our huge and diverse homes, you know? She even renamed our “planets” as “stages”! Our evil overlord has such good taste!
So here’s the deal. Celeste took away all of our means of transportation between worlds, which is why the tourism industry has been so down in the dumps these days. BUT those rascally swords can teleport between worlds whenever Celeste gives the thumbs-up to proceed to the next stage. All they need to do is use the teleportation app on their Deux Ex Machina!
First Stage: Desert
A desolate desert with a plethora of saloons.
Shield Power
Fireballs. For real.
Second Stage: Candy Land
Pink, fluffy clouds and candy cane trees.
Shield Power
Delusion attack – a special spell that can make foes think they are lost in a candy wonderland for five minutes. While they stare at the gumdrops, you punch them in the face. Can only work once every half hour.
Third Stage: Androidtopia
A futuristic world with a robot in every store.
Shield Power
Summon a giant robot for five minutes. BECAUSE. Also needs a half hour to reload.
Fourth Stage: Blizzard
More desolation, but this time cold desolation. Snow. And more snow.
Shield Power
Attack with ice. Come on, you knew this was coming.
Fifth Stage: Maple Street
An idyllic street that goes on forever, with manicured lawns and sprinklers and people fetching their newspapers in bathrobes.
Shield Power
Can summon a special golf club that is super-strong and durable. Really hurts when you hit people with it.
Sixth Stage: Beach Episode
A lush island paradise. Bikinis are involved.
Shield Power
Attack with sprays of water. Like Squirtle.
Seventh Stage: The Woods
Better leave that breadcrumb trail.
Shield Power
Both the sword and the shield transform into really strong wolves. And then they eat grandma.
Eight Stage: The Mansion
The rumored eighth world – the land of the dead. Rumor holds that dead contestants get sent here, to play a last game where they might get a second chance. Also, haunted.
Shield Power
There ain’t no shield power, stupid! You dead!
Waiting Room
This isn’t a planet, but it is a small pocket dimension that Celeste developed for bored shields awaiting their valiant knights to ally with them. Only shields can use their Deux Ex Machina to teleport there, where they can socialize with other shields. Of course, if they’re feeling unsafe, they can also teleport back to the safety of their own rooms.
I hear that it looks like a waiting room for a doctor’s office, and that the wait time is terrible.

Frambuesa completely ignored Andrew's 'rudeness', not quite bright enough - or maybe she was just too blissfully ignorant - to pick up on the tone in his voice (intentional or not). Completely prepared to make a new friend through the power of LEARNING, Fram put on a big smile and began her explanation:
"Oh! Well, I'm a---"
Before she could explain the whole vetala thing, Julia popped up and quickly distracted her. Fram savored every word, drinking every detail like the soul of a child who spent just a second too long on her lawn. Someone...someone already wanted to be her friend, and she hadn't even said 'hello' yet! Now completely assured that ditching Jasmine was the right thing, Fram clasped her hands and let the FRIENDSHIP~ flow.
"Well, my name is Frambuesa Chicot, I looooooove chocolate, and I don't really know what a makeover is, but it sure sounds like fun! ♥" she beamed.
Casque finally arrived at the tower thanks to his bitch-running, but his mood didn't improve once he got there. Not only did he miss getting the Heart Stone, but three was a crowd...and the chick that he tripped over was here! Just when he thought he was in the clear...!
Reasonably concerned about this turn of events, Casque jumped back, attempted to maintain his composure, and straightened his tie (no self-respecting fancy box-head would be seen without one).
"O-Oh! Um...hello, ladies! Wonderful day isn't it! Uh...I apologize for tripping over you earlier, miss..." he twiddled his thumbs anxiously, glancing over at Jezebel.

Speaking of people who would have gotten to the tower shortly... Well, not necessarily 'people' per se... Actually large, gender-neutral industrial androids... Althought of a decidedly masculine body shape - Oh, you get it.
A very lucky errant grain of sand entered through a tiny chink in Hevee's cranial casing and lodged itself in the circuit controlling its manipulator claws just as Jezebel jerked the Heart Stone from the massive robot's grip, causing its left claw to suddenly open and allow her to get away. Somewhere inside its circuits, the robot was using every angry word it had ever recorded on the docks in every tongue it knew, was programmed with or had only heard used in passing around him. The robot immediately 'floored it', as it were (even though there wasn't a floor) and stomped from the deep and shifting sand onto the dried, hardened salt pans around the tower. This gave it the advantage of a good grip on the ground, and allowed it to move even quicker than before. Observers would now note that Hevee, shedding sand from every gap in its chassis, was sprinting at the tower, on a dead run towards Jezebel. Gears were grinding and screaming and servos whirring, giving the sound of a banshee torn from hell itself to the sound of the charging robot as it thundered across the hardpan, its brain clicking out a message to Jezebel via the Deus Ex Machina:
'RETURN THE STOLEN HEART STONE OR YOU WILL IMPACT THE TOWER WALL AT HIGH VELOCITY DUE TO COLLISION WITH THIS UNIT'
It was clear that he wasn't screwing around anymore.

Mariah gave this Jezebel a once over, "Sounds like a good idea." She said with a slight nod, then some idiotic looking freak with a giant green head. Even weirder... the thing could TALK!"
The next few minutes were a blur to her. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Captain Crusty take aim, and her eyes widened, even though she somehow guessed that Jezebel was the target. Even worse, some silly robot was on a crash course with her. Doing the completely logical thing, she made a last second decision, and went to tackle Jezbel, hoping to knock her out of harm's way. out of the way, just as a gunshot was heard. The bullet would miss, as would metal-mouth. "I don't think we'v actually met. I'm Mariah. Let's girl-power these punks." She said, holding out her hand

Desert Stage
The pistol sounded, the race had begun! Whatever gallant image of athletes, warriors, and heroes had there been lined up on the desert sand had now devolved to the mad stampede of beasts. Of course if your world was on the line you would probably go a little crazy too. However what is a “little” crazy to Mr. Whiskers? Seemingly not much as all he did was a lot of standing there. To be fair he was quite good at it; quite good at it. It was actually difficult to comprehend how well he stood there. If standing was an Olympic sport then well, somebody else would win because a giant mouse mascot taking place in the Space Olympics is ridiculous. Of course, standing still isn't exactly the best way to not have a certain pink DJ lose complete faith in you. By the time the other contestants had gone on their maddened merry way, Mr. Whiskers was still standing th- wait where did he go?
Those at home watching who enjoyed the sight of idiotic freaks with giant green head standing in front of tower would be treated to a....Treat, as Mr. Whiskers made his surprise re-appearance. No seriously, how did he get there? Anyways despite the disturbing emergence of androids capable of feeling complete and utter hostility towards a living being and the fact bullets were being shot in the general direction, Mr. Whiskers felt it was pertinent to tap a certain cube-head on the shoulder. “Eye” contact would be made, and a life-long bond of trust and commitment and overall mutual green-ness would be formed, a bond capable of transcending the boundaries of worlds and one which would single-handedly resolve The Race through the power of FRIENDSHIP.
...But not really because they would need to ally with at least one more person to not have their planets explode on the spot.
Beach Episode Tower
A stone wall. A stone wall. A stone wall. A stone wall. This is what Littena's reality now consisted of. Perched on a corner of a bed as she had been on rocks not too long ago, the comfort of the mattress beneath her was an unwelcome change.
While turned on, the tv merely soundlessly cycled through a series of images that had no bearing on the Siren. Wordlessly staring at the wall as if seeing something beyond it, not even a sharp buzz from the nightstand behind her could distract her from the pale gray stone.
She would have been content to merely continue her meager existence, regardless if the world were to end. A slightly uneven rock just off the cape, the sounds of a far-off beach littered with noisy tourists, waves that sometimes came in a little too high, was that too much to ask for? Littena felt empty, devoid of anything which had once been there. The only thing that remained was a single question.
"Why her?"

Oh, and I can totally relate to the character creation thing. Comparatively the characters I've made to be in someone else's series is usually much easier than making characters for my own. Except Over There for some reason. I think it might be the skeleton (not that it's not sexy or anything) or the open-world-ness throwing me off from spewing small girls and androgynous males all over you (Good mental image). Even though it's only like, 9 more fields than Maple Manor lololololollollolol.

@Shanatos: Haha, that's wacky. I can see that happening, though, but it all depends on how you make your characters. When I make characters for RPs (that aren't mine), I always make them up out of nowhere (except for this one time), so I usually end up trying to do something creative and funky from the start or I give them basic traits and let the character develop naturally (like what I'm doing with Fram and Casque). Then when you shove them in an RP and have them develop through interacting with others...I don't know, it just seems to make characters better. When you're just writing, sometimes it's hard to get into a character because you're thinking about how things will move the story along, not the character's immediate thoughts and reactions. When you're being that character, that's when they can really grow into something fresh and ballin' and not boring and stuff.
BUT YEAH
Well, way back when, my RP characters were based on "flava of the month", i.e. whatever I was obsessed over lately, hence playing stupid ninja dwarf Drizzt in my first D&D game.
Nowadays that's changed, but yeah.
Now that I think of it, it wasn't so much grammar as it was general quality. I mean, my grammar wasn't sexy back in the day (it's not really sexy now) and I had some comma/semicolon issues, but I wrote like...well, a preteen girl. It just wasn't good. It wasn't bad to the point where I should've been beaten with a chainsaw or shunned from society, but I still had a lot to improve on. We've all got to start somewhere, yeah?
I always had great writing skills. At least, comparatively. I look at stuff I wrote back then and it is either 1) unadulterated accidental genius, or b) utter rubbish.
Then I went to college and got my Creative Writing classes on. Actually they were very, very helpful.
Also stop trying to scare me out of getting a job, Exuro already scarred me enough with his 13 hour work-days. ):<
Ouch. I used to have some of those. Not fun. That was back when I worked construction in the summer. The hot, long, arduous summer.

@finn: YOU'RE SUCH A JERKFACE FINN SHEESH
Julia is my hero always and forever. I'm replacing Mr. Whiskers in my last OTP with Julia.
@Shanatos: Haha, that's wacky. I can see that happening, though, but it all depends on how you make your characters. When I make characters for RPs (that aren't mine), I always make them up out of nowhere (except for this one time), so I usually end up trying to do something creative and funky from the start or I give them basic traits and let the character develop naturally (like what I'm doing with Fram and Casque). Then when you shove them in an RP and have them develop through interacting with others...I don't know, it just seems to make characters better. When you're just writing, sometimes it's hard to get into a character because you're thinking about how things will move the story along, not the character's immediate thoughts and reactions. When you're being that character, that's when they can really grow into something fresh and ballin' and not boring and stuff.
BUT YEAH
Now that I think of it, it wasn't so much grammar as it was general quality. I mean, my grammar wasn't sexy back in the day (it's not really sexy now) and I had some comma/semicolon issues, but I wrote like...well, a preteen girl. It just wasn't good.

I didn't. (:<

We should all make a finn fanclub. DIBS ON VICE PRESIDENT so I can take over when the president mysteriously dies.

Instead of working on my super awesome story while Transformers 3 played for three hours, I had to spend five hours fixing Transformers 3, had to refund 12 tickets (glad only that many people came to the showing) and generally almost crying. But I'm good now. Ish. Can't sleep due to second wind catching.
*GLARE*
Aw, that sucks. I always feel bad at the cinema when a movie stops working...I hope you had people like me, who were nice about it, and not people like my mom, who get pissy at that sort of stuff.
Yeah. They were understanding about it. It's good we got it fixed for today though.
It's all running fine now and it's all good.

Re: [OOC] Kill Celeste!
1) Ironically, in my middle/high school era, the characters that I created for RPs were horribly bland and cliched, which is odd considering my other characters weren't. Nowadays, it's about the exact opposite, with original characters I make for potential novels being boring and my RP characters being unique, hence quite a few of them "graduating" from failed RPs into my story work.
2) I never had bad grammar. Ever. Except on purpose.
3. That's a serious offence, ma'am. I hope you made up for it by volunteering at a shelter for Abused Smilies.
4) Seriousity is overrated. I am rarely serious, even when I am.
@ LL : Cry me a river. I only get about 3-4 hours of sleep a night, and that which I do is filled with horribly nightmares of being late for work.
Re: [OOC] Kill Celeste!
sorry my characters are being so mean to yours LL. You're a good person!
Re: [OOC] Kill Celeste!
YOOOOOOOOO
Off to post.
EDIT: Posted. Post was incredibly short, but hey, I got four hours of sleep last night! :(
Lodnir, feel free to make an entrance post that brings you to the tower and stuff. We can assume your character was just running beside us the whole time and stuff.
I think we can start moving the characters into the tower and stuff.
*pokes the people that haven't posted* You know who you are and stuff. ;p
AND STUFF
