Episode 6: Trogdor and the Love Delta

thorvald the Great and Mighty said...
I think that Thor should ravage and destroy a McDonalds... I might cry a tear of happiness if this happens. Also, the myna should be named something really feminine, like "rainbow dust". Oh and the origin of 'Neil-ism' can only be found in the legendary piñata, made from the carcass of the ancient beast known as Trogdor... that should be enough.

AWESOME!!!

John Medfords said...
They should take Thor to a circus and introduce him to cotton candy. The blue kind.

Syonik said...
The myna should be named "valkyrie" as i said before it was introduced.

As we continue…
As they leave Frodo’s house, Thor can’t help but think that there was something slightly odd about that Neilist. So they decide to investigate further into the origin of Neilism. But first, some food.
“Where do you want to eat?” Keldon asks Neil.
“I don’t know, where do you want to eat?”
“I don’t know, where do…hey! I asked you first!”
“Well, there’s always McDonalds.”
As they approach the building, Thor espies the golden arches.
“This is a symbol of evil! This building and all associated with it must be a corporation that embodies all the evils of mankind!”
So he whips out his hammer, gives the wall a mighty smack, and waits for it to crumble. It doesn’t. He hits it one more time. Nothing.
“Kamehameha!” he yells and thwacks it again with all his force.
The building suddenly explodes outward with a mighty boom.
“Now what do we eat?” asks Keldon.
“How about T-Bell?” Neil responds.
“Sure.”
So they head over to the nearest Taco Bell. It happens to be closed for renovations, however, so they decide to instead take a road trip down to Mexico.
“Are we there yet?” Thor asks.
“No.” Keldon answers.
“How about now?”
“No! Don’t ask me again. We’ll get there when we get there!”
“Keldy, Thor’s poking me!” Neil whines.
“He called my myna Rainbow Valkyrie!”
“It has a colorful sheen!”
“But that’s a girly name!”
“How do you know it’s not a girl?”
“Well I just don’t like that name.”
“I like the name.” Kelsey interjects.
“You stay out of it!”
“Well I was just giving my opinion.”
“QUIET!!!” Keldon yells. “Now then, everyone will be completely silent until we finally get to the…oh look, there’s the border!”
They pass across the border and immediately find a nice little restaurant. They head inside and order some food. After they’ve all eaten their fill of burritos and guacamole they head back outside. Neil is immediately attacked by fifteen people wearing clothes bearing anti-Neil sentiment.
“It’s just a name, I had nothing to do with it! It’s out of my control! Why are you attacking me?”
They continue to beat him. After a few minutes slowly pass by, Thor decides to help Neil. With one mighty swing of his hammer he sends the Neilists flying through the air until they eventually set down (softly in a tree) in Paraguay.
“Why do people keep attacking me just because my name is Neil?”
“Psssst,” whispers a shady looking character from a little alleyway between the rundown buildings.
They walk over and ask him what he wants.
“I know the origin of this ‘Neilism.’”
“What is it?”
“When my great-grandfather Pepe de la Boca Grande defeated the great monster Trogdor he split open the stomach and found something inside. It, when studied closely, was the scratching of his last victim. It said ‘Lien.’ Since lien is Neil backwards, many people decided that Neil must be the name of the Evil One. So they have been finding and killing all the Neils that they can.”
“But that’s completely absurd!” Kelsey says.
“Meh. We do what we can for entertainment these days,” the smallish man retorts. “The other day we took Trogdor’s carcass and made a giant piñata out of it.”
“That’s disgusting!” Kelsey exclaims.
“We’d better get out of here before more people attack me,” Neil interrupts.
“Well our weapons won’t be ready for three more days so let’s go do something fun.” Keldon says.
“Have you ever been to a circus?” Kelsey inquires of Thor.
“What is that?”
“Let’s go to a circus!” Kelsey exclaims.
Back in the good old U.S. of A. they find a wonderful little circus. They see the rides outside the circus tent and decide to go on a couple.
“Who wants to go on the ferris wheel with me?” Kelsey asks.
Thor and Neil immediately start jumping up and down and shouting, “Me me me me me!”
“Well, I guess you’ll both have to take turns.”
“Dibs on firsties!” Neil says.
“Shoot.”
“Well, while they’re up there how about I introduce you to cotton candy?” asks Keldon.
“Fine.”
A few minutes later.
“What is this amazing concoction? It’s better than fried squirrel! And trust me, that’s good. Get me more.”
“Please.”
“What’s that?”
“We say please.”
“Oh. Get me more…please?”
“That’s better.”
“Your turn!” Kelsey says as she seemingly appears out of nowhere.
“Whoopie! I’ll be back for that cotton candy, Keldon. But it may be a while…”

So we come to the end of the episode. We now see that Thor and Neil must contend for Kelsey’s love. How should they prove their worth and devotion?

Episode 5: The Emergence of Neil-ism

Corbin Bleu said...
They untie him as he reveals who did this dastardly deed to him.

Syonik said...
thor smashes the pole with one mighty swing of his hammer to the top of the pole, then declares victory over the pole before throwing the little man onto the anvil and forcing information out of him.

Anonymous said...
btw, i think that people outside the story/scene should give general directions and anyone who is actually a character should have primary control over their character. Just thought that might be cool.

(People with characters in the story now have greater control over their character)

As we continue...
Thor grasps his mighty hammer, swings it up out of his inside pocket in a huge strong arc and brings it down hard on top of the pole. The pole cracks in half and the man jumps free.
"Woohoo!" Thor yells, "I am victorious. You flimsy poles are no match for a mighty warrior!"
"What do you have against Polish people?" asks the man who was formerly tied up.
"What?" Thor yells as he hurls the man onto the anvil and pushes his hammer handle against his throat.
"Never mind. My name is Will and I am a maker of fine weaponry."
"Who tied you up?"
"A man in black who goes by the name of...Frodo!"
"Oh. Is that all?"
"Yep. How may I aid you? Are you perhaps in need of some questing itemry?"
"Umm...yes. What do you have on hand?"
"Well right now I have a sale on traditional Norse swords, shields, and armor."
Thor thought about it for a while.
"How much money do you have?" he asks Keldon.
"Due to my experiments in alchemy I can, through a large amount of hard work, create gold! So don't worry about it."
Thor removes Will from the anvil and gives him a moment to catch his breath.
"Umm...we'll take a full suit of armor, three swords, and a shield and a half."
"Why do you want a half shield?" asks Neil.
"I SAID A HALF SHIELD!"
"Okay, okay, I just wanted to know."
"That'll cost 12,872 dollars. They'll be ready on Tuesday." Will interjects.
Suddenly a bearded man with a sledgehammer jumped through the doorway.
"Death to all Neils!" he shouts.
As Neil falls to the ground, being beaten over and over, Thor kicks the man in the sweet spot and he crumples into a fetal position. They tie him up and leave him outside the house as they are exiting.

So we come to the end of the episode. They have some downtime to catch Thor up on modern culture. Where should they go? What should they name the myna? Does Neil try to find out the origin of this Neil-ism? As always, leave suggestions in the form of comments (which can be found just above the beginning of the episode.

Episode 4: How Thor Met Frodo or Neil Plays Pokémon

JIMMY MIC JIMMER said...
FRODO'S HOUSE he knows everything. He could give them guitar hero guitars to kill the bad guys

Ben Amundson said...
They could go to Burger King and get some crowns. Or ask the king to pass a legislation.

Syonik said...
i'm sorry, but those are pretty useless comments. thor should inquire about where he may find raiments suitable for a nordic warrior. he should also aquire some sort of flying animal sidekick named valkyrie.

Keldy said...
I agree with Jimmy McJimmster -
Frodo knows all, so they should seek his counsel. Frodo should inform them about something evil that wants to destroy them and everyone, but send them on some journey quest.
But that's just me.

kelsey said...
thanks for putting me in it!!!

Liom "Ders" Fjordson said...
Thor, the no longer Thorvald, sees, valuable informations, attached to a wild goshawk in the sky. Thor jumps and bites through leather strap coated with curry. Thor gets burned, Ash has ran out of healing potion. Thor receives valuable informations for defeating wild goshawk.
WILD GOSHAHK: AWW MAN!
Thor feints on the way to poke center.

I believe that I speak for Robert Van Wye when I take this opportunity to remind everyone that the only valid commands are commands to characters that are currently controlled by the spectators. Characters not yet introduced are not able to be controlled. Also, outcomes are decided by the author.

Robert van Wye said...
Thanks, Anonymous. What a funny name!

As we continue...

"So," Neil asks Kelsey as he slyly slides beside her, "do you know where we could get some information and weaponry to aid us in our quest?"
"Well I do know this guy who's into this kind of thing."
"Oh really?" as Neil slides even closer.
"Yep."
"Take us to him," Thor interjects.
"We say please in this century," says Keldon.
"Take us to please."
"No no, it comes before take or after him."
"Take us to him it."
"Never mind."
As they leave the building, Thor sees a funny rectangular object lying on the shelf.
"What is this?"
"Oh that," says Neil, "That's my Gameboy Color."
They grab it and leave.
First they decide to get some provisions. They head on over to Burger King and grab a few Whoppers. Thor insists on getting a crown.
Next they head on over to Kelsey's friend's house. They are greeted at the door by a mysterious figure in black leggings, a black turtle neck shirt, and a long black overcoat.
"I've been expecting you," says the figure without opening his mouth, "Please come in."
"See, that's how you use please!"
"I do not understand."
"Forget it."
As they enter, they see curious pictures cluttering the wall. There are many depictions of an orange mushroom happily jumping about. The other pictures have no correlation to each other.
"Woohoo!" shouts Neil, "I caught a Rattatta!"
"That's the easiest thing in the world," says Keldon, "anyone can catch a Rattatta."
"I named it Thor."
Suddenly a tiny myna flies in the room.
"This is for you," says the mysterious figure.
"For who?" asks Thor.
"You"
Another one flies in.
"Two?"
"No."
"Now then," begins the man, "my name is Frodo. I am a quest master. I have a plethora of quests and quest related knowledge. How may I help you?"
"Well..."
"That was merely a formality. I know what you seek. I know all. First, you need to go see Will of Billings to find proper raiment for a nordic questsman. You can find him in my basement. Don't forget to untie him. Next you will need to follow the myna to the cave of all secrets."
"Cave of all secrets," the myna shouts.
"Yes, the cave of all secrets."
"Cave of all secrets."
"THEY GET THE POINT ABOUT THE CAVE OF ALL SECRETS!"
"Cave of all secrets. Stupid bird."
"Stupid bird."
"Aggh," says Neil, "Thor feinted on the way to the poké center!"
In the basement they find a little man tied to a pole. Around him lie various ores, leathers, woods, and tools of the smithing trade.
"UNTIE ME PLEASE!!!"
Well on their way to finally beginning the quest, the find themselves in a pretty open situation. What should they do?
