Avery had just gone on his break at the mascot tryouts. After spending all day walking around in costume he got kinda thirsty so he grabed a Bud Light on the way to the arena. He was so very tierd, and just wanted the whole tryout experience to be over with. Unfortunatley, he had to spend a couple more hours in the costume, and then report back later to see if he was chosen. There was only one ggod thing about
this whole thing, and that was the costume he was wearing wasn't a common animal. I mean who else would be dressed as a Penguin???

Finally ariving to the Arena he opened the door and steped in, whistling some strange tune they had him humming all day.. Forgetting about what he was wearing, he raised his hand with the beer in it, too everyone in greeting. A bad move, as he must have looked like a bird flaping his wings...while holding a beer. Then his eyes went big as he saw what was going on. Gnort had is hands around another penguin, looking as if he was to kill it.

Letting out a sceam..that could easily be confused for a loud squak in all this confusion, Avery went forward to help out his costumed buddy, who was being killed slowley.

Jola finally succeeds in picking herself up off the sticky floor. Pretty disgusting, actually. As G charges the penguin he also manages to shove her out of the way, which causes her to fall *splat* into a chair.

Sitting there, with the crowd growing larger, and Lexi grabbing the penguin, Perci stabbing at the aardvaark, Gnort strangling the penguin (the little one? Where'd that big one come from?) ... and all those watching, she just decided to stay put.

She starts humming, for no reason at all, "shoo be doo be doo...."

Finally regaining his senses he jumps to his feet and rushes to G'nort's aid. Lunging forward, he runs the penguin through. Or tries to. Actually, his blade grazes G'nort (causing him to drop the penguin) bounces off the penguin's beak, and cuts the head off of Avery's penguin costume. Then he turns to G'nort and says, "Sorry about that, was aiming for the penguin. There is a bigger one over there, and I cut its head off, so it
shouldn't be too much trouble."

(Authors note: This whole thread is just toooo funny =D)

Strangling the penguin in a fit of hunger, he fails to notice Percy lunging, then howls out as his leg is struck, dropping the penguin which skitters scross the floor.

When Percy mentions the other Headless Penguin, G, holding his leg, cries out...


"Oh my God, you killed Penguins!!!
You Bastards!"



He then remembers his hunger and launches himself at the headless one, because when they're dead, they're less trouble.

No more calamari.

Avery saw percy lunge at Gnort, and nick him. As Percy's blade came towards him he droped his head down in the costume, only seconds before the head was gone. Aver went to say something but being caught in the costume it came out in a muffled yell. All he knew is that he had to do something or else he was going to end up like his other costumed buddy.

Reaching out he grabed at Percy who was still near by after cutting off his head. Grabbing a hold of his arm Avery used his wieght, and the HEAVY weight of the costume to fall down on Percy, and pin him to the ground. Feeling him stuck underneth him, Avery took a sigh of relief. Then he tried to stick his head back out of the costume only to find he was now stuck inside......

Befuddled by the mindless antics of the crowd, the penquin quietly clucked it's jaws from it's hiding place behind the bar.. long having since produced a decoy penquin to distract the raving humans, it watched on through a convienent peephole. Disgusted, it toddles out from behind the bar, clucking its beak and lazily flapping its flippers.. as it waddles closer to the human that happens to be G'nort, the viking cap atop the penquin's
head begins to rattle, and then begins to bounce and shake around atop the crayola-blue penquin's noggin...

..the air takes on a sudden.. air, like the vibrations of impending Tyrannosaurus doom in Jurassic Park, as various glasses and items throughout the arena shake and vibrate violently...

..And the penquin's true and malevolent nature is revealed in the form of a massive photoatomic explosion, centered upon the unwary G'nort.

((Keep in mind the comic nature of the penquin, and think of what happens to cartoon characters upon bombs being dropped upon them/in their trousers, etc.))

..G'nort being utterly blown to bits, or at the least, singed heavily and sent for a tumble, the penquin waddles his way out of the arena, to return to cause more havoc in the normal dueling hours.

"Yaaaaaaaaaah!" came Jola's scream as the explosion sent her flying back, still sitting in her chair, only now the chairback is down on the floor. The scream is cut off when Jola's head goes through the wall, her arms and legs going limp. Now the only sound from her is a low moan heard through the wall...


((Think acme acres, folks. :))

((Author's Note: Everything that happens here is happening BEFORE Perci's kidnapping. If you have trouble believing or understanding that, maybe you shouldn't read the Bulletin Boards.))

Sometimes being drunk was a good thing. For instance, when a small, funny bird suddenly turns into a thermonuclear explosion. Being drunk makes one limper, one's body more elastic, more relaxed. So whent he huge explosion hurled Perci towards the wall of banners and standards, he really wasn't hurt much, beacause he was so "relaxed". He got a few cuts and bruises when he hit the wall, and sure, it was kind of embarassing when he was tanlged up
in the banner of House Redwin, but he had always liked Siera anyway. At least, he figured, he hadn't gotten tangled up in the banner of the Dracoern Highlands. Though it might have been fun to cut his way out.

The explosion was centered on him, little bits and pieces of Gnort went flying everywhere, only to form into many smaller versions of the Warlord, about an inch high, all hoping about angrily and waving their little arms. If he weren't upset over being so tiny, he'd think the women population would be in a great deal of trouble. In the meantime, the hundred of little Gnorts started swarming all over the place.

...some of the more perceptive mini-Gnorts may notice the new Roach-motels, complete with neon signs, that have been placed around the Arena....

..Ooh, aren't they pretty?

An explosion, a dwarf flying through the air, landing with a loud *THUD* behind the bar. SHaking his head, clearing the fog as he stands, he glances about and blinks seeing the tiny Gnot's. Gim groans, thinking the last thing we need are more little G's running about., he scratches his head in amazement as he watches and just mutters.

As the wind generated by the explosion dies down, Jola starts to come to, mostly because of some terrible tickling going on about her sides. She gives a shove to the wall, her head popping out with an audible *pop* and succeeds in startling the many little G's around her who had been gleefully tickling her.

"Aaaagh!" she screamed as she frantically batted away the small men. Another "yikes!" and she hopped straight to her feet, doing a strange kind of shimmy with her shirt held out, as little G men fall screaming out of her shirt, and she proceeds to stomp them all flat.
