001 - Not Again


*In a dark and empty place*

Voice: Hmm, now this just won’t do. Ah, I know!

*A slight hissing noise followed by a loud pop can be heard. Suddenly the darkness is chased away and is replaced by a large room filled with tables, science equipment and an overly large rubber duck*

Voice: Ah, that is much better.

Voice #2: There is still something missing you know.

Voice #1: Bah, what could I possibly be missing here? I even used a checklist, see? *holds up a clipboard*

Voice #2: *reading* Scene, check. Obvious insertion of Author, check. Giant Rubber Duck, check. Characters?

Voice: #1: Okay, so I missed something! I'm not perfect, only God is!

Voice #2: *smacks #1 with clipboard* In here YOU ARE GOD!

Voice #1: Oh, yeah! I forgot about that, too. Man, this stuff is hard! How do you do it?

Voice #2: Suddenly, I miss my bunch of idiots. *rubs temples*

*Another hissing noise/pop later and three people are standing next to the rubber duck in lab coats*

Guy #1: What the?

Guy #2: How did that happen? I thought I had a fail-safe that prevented this?

Girl: It seems that we didn't put enough power into to stop it.

Guy #2: Great. *sigh* Who wants to do it this time?

Girl & Guy #1: NOT IT!

Guy #2: NO~ FUCK! Alright, let’s get this over with. *yells at the ceiling* I know you're around here somewhere! Come out so we can kick your ass!

Voice #2: Funny, they sound like my guys. You trying to steal my shtick?

Voice #1: *sigh* No, characters seem to act like this all over the internet when it comes to us.

Guy #2: You know we can hear you, right?

Voice #1: *calls down* You did not hear anything.

Girl: Is he trying to use the Jedi Mind Trick?

Guy #1: Seems so. Alright, I got this.

Guy #2: As you wish.

Guy #1: Alright, either you come down here or we come up there!

Voice #1: How can you know where we are? We could be~

Guy #1: You're on top of the duck! I can see your boots!

Voice #2: I told you not to wear those things!

Voice #1: I happen to like them!

Girl: Well?

Voice: Fine, we're on our way. No violence or else I'll send you somewhere worse!

Guy #2: Like where?

Voice #1: I'll send you with this guy to be his new toys!

Voice #2: *whispers* I have enough problems with my characters.

Voice #1: *whispers* Trust me on this for just a moment will ya?

Guy #1: Why should we be afraid of that?

Voice #1: Go ahead and tell them who you are.

*The figure behind Voice #2 teleports down in front of the other three. The man appeared to be in his mid-twenties, with short brown hair, brown eyes. He wore full body silver armor with a golden emblem of Atlas on the chest, and pure white wings.*

Voice #2: I am known as the great and mighty being Godlike-LegendaryX!!

Guy #2: GLX? Oh crap! Screw that, I ain't doin' shit to him!

Girl: Wuss.

Guy #1: He proclaims to be a god and you're scared?

Guy #2: Hey, you spent some time around Fallout and you don't remember him?

Guy #1: *thinking* Wait, I remember ULX and his Autho~ Crap!

GLX: *looking up* You can come down now Clown Shoes!

Voice #1: They're BOOTS! *teleports down*

*This man was in his late-twenties, also with short, brown hair and with hazel eyes. A small pair of glasses rested on his nose. He wore a large red hooded cloak with silver lettering woven into the edges, dark green pants and shirt.*

Voice #1: *pulls back his hood* You’d think that you guys would be glad to see me? You wouldn't even exist if it were not for me!

Girl: *grabs him by his collar* Explain why we're here Jon, and keep it short!

GLX: You let your characters call you by your real name?

Jon: Well technically ... *points at the two guys* Those two are also Jons. I gave them different names so I could be the only Jon. The one that recognized you first is Rip, while the other one is Freak.

Rip: Oi, I chose my own damn name!

Freak: You just think you did, and that only your new name based on your last name! Mr. Van Winkle!

Rip: Oh go stuff it!

GLX: And what about the violent one that seems adept at man-handling you? It had best not be Stacy; I've already got the copyrights to a sadistic bitch by that name.

Girl: Oh, no. That isn't my name, but *shakes Jon* You still haven't answered my question!

Jon: If. You. Stop. Shaking. Me. I'll. Tell. You. Pisces!

Pisces: *let’s go* Fine, but once again, keep it short.

Jon: Why you're here is because I've moved you again! This will be your new home!

Rip: Great, another Lab attached to another forum-verse?

Jon: For now, yes. Until I get a site setup for you. I'll just move it there then.

GLX: You talk too much, you know that?

Jon: You're one to talk! Or do I have to bring up the FVA's again?

GLX: I'll keep quiet on account of I'm tired of hearing about it.

Rip: Any who, what's up with the Duck?

Jon: Actually, I'm not sure? I just did what I normally do.

Freak: You pulled it out of your ass?

Pisces: That would explain that noise we heard when we got here.

Jon: I MADE IT UP AS I MADE IT, ALRIGHT!!??

Rip: I like Freak's idea better. And it WOULD explain the noise.

Jon: I hate you three.

Freak: And it just breaks our hearts.

Jon: Any who, I have a few other things to take care of administratively. Sign zoning contracts, move the others, make more rooms than this one, you know. *teleports out*

GLX: Just to clear the air, I take no responsibility in any of this. *teleports out*

Freak: Great, a giant room to explore.

Rip: Anyone see a fridge?

Pisces: *looks around* Not right away. I don't even see anything that looks like food!

*In Jon's office*

Jon: *staring at a monitor* I knew I forgot something else.

GLX: I'm gonna go back to my pack of idiots. Try not to kill them off. *opens a door to Soltana and leaves*

Jon: *fiddling with a remote* Now where did I put that food button?

*He mashes a random button as the room in the monitor is suddenly filled with cheese*

Jon: . . . *shrugs* My work here it done. Now where is my porn?
