*snip* I sighed and landed, stuffing my hover board back into my backpack. I had tracked Eli’s hover board and the reading had taken me to a dingy-looking ‘restaurant’ thing of some sort. I felt like tavern was a better word for it. For one thing, it was called The Wilted Pizza. How charming, right? Whatever, I don’t care, I just needed to find Eli and get out of there. Our last encounter had ended on an unfriendly note.
“No, but I can hear them.” I explained. I strained to see around the many people and sure enough, I could see the tops of Con’s sombrero and Zach’s top hat. “Con and Zach are here, and Essa, I think. Get out of here while you can, I don’t want you getting arrested too.” “But I--” “Go!” I ordered as sternly as I could. “You need to leave or you’ll get caught too!” He glared at me for a moment then grumblingly agreed and headed for the door. I waited until I couldn’t see him any more and then stood up, stretched my arms and looked around for any possible weapons. Essa’s voice shouted, “Eternal City PD and moderators! We are here for Neko Paintbrush!” “Essa?” Con asked. “If you’re her, put your hands in the air--” She continued, but he interrupted her. “Essa!” He said again. “What?” she hissed. “I thought we agreed that it was my turn to say that?” Con told her. “You did it last time.” “Yeah, but it’s fun. You can do it next time.” “You said that last time!” “Well, I mean it this time!” “How do I know?” “You don’t.” “That’s not fair!” “Life’s never fair, get used to it.” “You’re mean.” “I know.” “I’m going to cry.” “No, you aren’t.” “But what if I did?” “Conner. I know you. You won’t.” “But what if I did?” “I’d laugh.” “You’re mean.” “We all ready established that.” “Villains are mean.” “Are you saying I’m a villain?” “If the shoe fits…” “It doesn’t.” “What size shoes to you wear?” “Six and a half.” “I knew it! The shoe does fit you! It’s six and a half.” “How do you know?” “Because I made it.” “You made a villain shoe?” “What can I say, I have many talents.” “Villain-shoe making?” “Yeah.” “What if I don’t want to be a villain?" “That’s silly; of course you do.” “No, I don’t.” “So let me say it.” “Say what?” “Eternal City PD and moderators. We are here for Neko Paintbrush. Put your hands in the air and don’t move.” “Okay, you just did.” “But it’s not the same!” “Too bad." “Then how about we start over and say it together?” “That works.” “Okay, on the count of three. One…” “Two…”
“Eternal City PD and moderators! We are here for Neko Paintbrush! Put your hands in the air and don’t move!” “You didn’t wait for me!” “Villains are good at hiding in plain sight.” “Enough!” Rome shouted. “That’s enough! We are here to arrest Neko, not argue about who announces it! You two can discuss that later, in a shack in the middle of nowhere where we don’t need to hear it.” “Okay.” Con and Essa said together. “There she is!” Essa shouted. “Arrest her!” Con yelled. “That’s our job, you bozo!” “I know, I was just reminding myself that.” “Why do you need to remind yourself?” “Well, I forgot.” “So how were you able to remind yourself?” “Because I forgot.” “That doesn’t make sense.” “Now you’re catching on!” * I gave an exaggerated sighed and said in an exceedingly bored, mocking voice, “Oh dear, you’ve caught me, how sad.” I smirked at the four mods, “You wish!” …And then I promptly kicked Rome in the stomach then darted for the door.
THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE A CON AND ESSA CONVERSATION AND IT'S PERFECT XDD
rOME! D:
YEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! YES! ALSO THANKS! I hope he's ok.
“’Before’ what?” He asked and sipped his glass of water. “Well, I just thought that--” “You thought what?” He asked and sipped his glass of water. SNIP ~ “Stop sipping your glass of water!” I retorted. “Alright,” He nodded, and sipped his glass of water.
The exact thought flashing through my mind at this very moment. XDD
Lol! That's what I was thinking when I was writing, too, so I made Neko say it.
“Eternal City PD and moderators! We are here for Neko Paintbrush! Put your hands in the air and don’t move!” “You didn’t wait for me!” “Villains are good at hiding in plain sight.” “Enough!” Rome shouted. “That’s enough! We are here to arrest Neko, not argue about who announces it! You two can discuss that later, in a shack in the middle of nowhere where we don’t need to hear it.” “Okay.” Con and Essa said together. “There she is!” Essa shouted. “Arrest her!” Con yelled. “That’s our job, you bozo!” “I know, I was just reminding myself that.” “Why do you need to remind yourself?” “Well, I forgot.” “So how were you able to remind yourself?” “Because I forgot.” “That doesn’t make sense.” “Now you’re catching on!” “Really, guys? Again?” Rome rolled his eyes and walked past the bickering Con and Essa towards me. “Neko, you’re under arrest.” I lifted my chin, “Oh yeah? Under what charges?” “Theft and breaking and entering on federal property.” Rome told me. “We have evidence against you and a warrant for your arrest.” I gave an exaggerated sighed and said in an exceedingly bored, mocking voice, “Oh dear, you’ve caught me, how sad.” I smirked at the four mods, “You wish!” …And then I promptly kicked Rome in the stomach then darted for the door. Rome gasped, the breath knocked out of him. “After her!” he ordered after a moment. “Yes, sir!” Con nodded. “Right away!” Essa agreed. Zach nodded in reply and the three mods gave chase, not far behind me. I may have been a fast runner, but they were all taller than me and their longer strides gave them a bit of an advantage. Eventually, I’d have to fight them or give up, in either case, I’d be arrested. “Here come the moderators!” Con cried. “Of justice!” Essa added. “Yeah, and we moderate justice!” shouted Con. “Get back here and let us arrest you!” Essa yelled. “Just stop, you’re making us sound like the bad guys.” Zach said to them as the three followed me down the street. * * * RomeNZ , fictional Neko should be so ashamed of herself for kicking fictional you. Sorry.
No worries, I'm just thankful it wasn't any lower.
Thank you for making me laugh so hard I had to bury my face in my blankets so I wouldn't wake everyone else up. And yeah, I sort got a bit carried away with this story part. That or fictional Eli's just really, really thirty.
XDD You're very welcome. Wow, I didn't know Eli was that old.
XD Wha--? *looks back at post* Oh. Lol, whoops. XD I meant thirsty, not thirty.
Hey, guys! So here's the surprise I've been working on for the last couple of months. An LMBE story! Now, please DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO READ THIS, y'all DON'T have to if you don't want to. If you do read this weird, crazy adventure, I really hope you enjoy it. There are a couple things I'm going to clarify real quick. First of all, this story takes place in the realm/country/land of Elembia (L-M-B, plus 'a' ), specifically in the capital city, the Eternal City. Secondly, through the story, references are made to things like "The Dark Mods" and "Ancient Elembia", these refer to a force of evil moderators who shut down the galleries and Original LMBs, and the Official LEGO Message Boards respectively.
. . . for being awesome friends and making this writing endeavor possible! ^.^
Without further ado, a present to you. . .
~Legacies of Elembia~
WH- WHAT?? Wow... Heh, consider me surprised! Thank you so much for giving us such a big gift. :3 I mean.. a whole story?! All of which is absolutely FANTASTIC. Every sentence was a delight to read and often had me laughing! As of this post I've caught up with it, but uh.. sorry if I don't keep up. ('^ ^) Unfortunately I'm not much of a reader by genetics' decree. But anyway, I love how you portrayed everyone. I was excited when I read my part to see how you wrote me, and it's actually pretty accurate.
Oh.. (Ó,Ò) Th-thank you.. that really means a lot.. (óvò) You're an awesome friend and a wonderful person. (^v^)
^v^ You're welcome! :3 Thanks so much I'm so happy you like it so far! That's alright, you don't have to read it. ^.^ Oh, thank you, thank you! :3 Yes! I'm glad I got your character at least partially accurate.
You're very welcome, Rome. :3 ^.^ Aw... thank you, that means so much. x3
The weird thing is I can picture a slice of pizza on a plate just sitting out on a table, on the front porch of a house in the middle of a very serene clearing in the middle of a forest, and I can just imagine something like a time-lapse video of it just turning brown as it dries into what is almost like a triangular dead leaf, and that just makes sense to me. And then I have to bring a chair into the bathroom and just sit down, look at myself in a mirror, and tell myself, “[Socky], pizza doesn’t wilt.”
Very very very similar to what you've got. I also wanted to explore the "realms" outside of the LMBE city, so there's that.
Okay. Interesting, what do oyu think the other "realms" would be like?
Well, I played around with ideas such as the other realms representing sites some of the users here also like to hang out in. I mean, I can't mention them here, but I thought I could have fun describing the interactions of users who spend more time offsite than here and why the characters would need to visit the other realms.
