FiranCon puppet Show 2007
From FiranMUX
(written by Ladonna's player for the 2007 FiranCon)
People of the Republic! Doubtless you have heard of the various plots over the past year made to overthrow the established government. You remember they failed. Foiled by those in power, we saw plan after ploy, ploy after plan, crumble. Someone, however took notes. Someone far away from Anarinuell with a network of brilliant spies reporting daily. But just as this mysterious someone is plotting, waiting, the Clan Council has caught yaps of the potential threat to their medallions. At this closed meeting, entrance for us gained by measures that surely cost a life or twelve, I will show you f the seedy underbelly of a Council that neither Fidelia nor a Wiki could possibly hope to organize.
We enter to a scene of much tension, tension masked by our darling leaders' stiff, omnipresent grins. Diamia is poised to speak with her Key Advisor by her side, the Lady Muggles (who has overthrown Rikon in both Estate and proxyship). She gives Muggles the floor.
Yap. Yap yap! Yap.
As you can clearly see, the Lady Muggles has come into important, dastardly information that desperately needs addressing! The meeting explodes into shouting over the development. Ojitar and Torianos leapt up, ready to fight. Taleo stood as well, ready to get some. Ania glared at people and tried to keep Lady Muggles from kissing her face. In an attempt to keep order, Fidelia starts tapping her gavel on the table demurely. Taria assists by ganking one of Fidelia's hairpins (thusly causing the guard to move to arrest Fidelia for disobeying the Hairpin Ordinance of 2006). In outrage, Taria stabs Luna in the hand with a hairpin and asks why she hasn't had another son yet!
Luna, already irked with the Council for never bothering to send a message while she was off touring, declared her intent to permanently take up residence in Scirlut, effective immediately. She figured she was already spending so much time there anyway, a move was inevitable. She would rule from Scirlut! Forever! Away she went, in a bit of a huff.
To add to the increasing chaos, Nydiam appeared wholly drunk, attempting to pass this order and that decree about second born children and National Vehicle Stealing Day. No one had the heart to tell him he was no longer a Clan Leader and that his presence was rather a violation of the “closed meeting” thang. Muggles gave a yappity yap and Nydiam instantly became angry.
To the ferry! He cried, pointing outwards in whatever direction he spun. Nydiam explained (drunkenly) that the only way to combat this nameless foe would be to create an army of heroes so large, the enemy would be blinded by their awesome. A hero school! It is the only way.
Torianos and Ojitar immediately bounced around happily and declared their intent to join. Taria tries to stab them with Fiddy's hairpin, but it's too late. Nydiam, Oji, and Torianos board a ferry and sail off singing drunken songs of heroic manly doings.
Taleo had been remarkably silent the entire meeting, darkly brooding over the state of the neo-noble Ternaziks, the state of the Republic, and the state of the rather large-chested woman walking around just outside the window. When Ojitar and Torianos took off, Taleo snapped back to attention and decided, hell, if they can leave... so can he. He glanced quickly around the table, spotted Ania, and muttered “Ah, good. You're here.” The Viceroy then stood, made some thinly veiled excuse for his need to “relax his muscles” and departed. He was the only nobleman seen at the Dove for that season.
Just as Taleo left, two messengers (one in Eagle livery, one in Hydran) burst into the room, pushing and shoving to get to Ania and Amenik first. The Eagle messenger reaches his destination first. Ania stood and accused Amenik of harboring a haffie the Eagles needed to arrest. Amenik shouted that Ania had no authority and BY ZUTIV, if the First or a bunch of floofs thought they could march into his district... he was cut off by Taria bellowing about the First IN HER DAY! Ania stormed out, declaring that she would personally arrest any and all haffies in any and all districts. Amenik bolted out after her but would become wildly distracted by planning Belikfest II: More of My Dad and Belikfest III: Back to Arinzi.
The Council was down to Taria, Diamia, and Lady Muggles. Taria asked where Ibania's Daughter found such an ugly mutt. Diamia replied that Melani was going to kill Tagda (again) and Taria begrudgingly departed.
At this point, because of how finely tuned the meetings had become, Diamia was at a loss. She didn't remember how to push a law or push an attack. Feebled as she was by Fiddy & the Wiki, Diamia stared at Muggles. Eventually, she stood and said “I believe I will go back to the Dove, like that one time Taleo sullied me.” And, lo, she did, bringing @wherers everywhere to a confused, shrieking pause. She fended pages for the rest of the night.
But wait! Despite our disbanded CC, there is still a notorious foe! And with said council scattered, an evil twitter (a 'tee!heh heh heh' of sorts) came from the shadows. For shame! The nefarious doer doth cry, stepping forth. A simple hairtoss and a popped hip to the side is the signal...
Avahlon is BACK!
Yes! He was the mastermind all along! The FaaaaaaaBulous Prince Avahlon returned to Anarinuell! With that hairtoss, his armies and spies instantly burst into action. All over the city, they attacked. The “messengers” sent for Ania and Amenik overpowered them: her struggling with a haffie, he planning Belikfests (who knew: Belik would be Amenik's Achilles heel). Taleo and Diamia, caught being rather sullied by each other, were overpowered by a minion of Avahlon's. A slaver level IV whore who had been involved in every single incident of slaving, from Bezyo to Modestia to Sadera to Danae, and was funneling the money earned to Avahlon.
The Avahlonists distracted half of the Ticanee clan, poor Corrina Oshta included, with a ton of freckled baby objects that MUST, dear god must, be housed in the Ticanee orphanage. When Taria (after having quelled the brewing row of Melani and Tagda) investigated, they would strike. Fiddy was already in jail and Luna was headed out – and the plan was to capture her en route to Scirlut.
But there was still someone there... there was still... Lady Muggles! Diamia left her to spare her from TaleoTime. She yapped and flipped in the air. Avahlon said that he must have her! He dressed her in ribbons and bows and paraded her around the Unity Building while his Minions did their job.
HA HA AH AHA HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA CRASH! BOOM!
Nydiam, Ojitar, and Torianos (all freaking plastered) “sail” in on the Cockatrice ferry, carried by their hero school enrollees, and rather loudly declare that they are there to save the Republic and... Torianos, spotting Avahlon, falls off the ship in a fit of angry drunk-ness. And then goes to beat Avahlon up. Avahlon flails! Aiee! Nydiam and Ojitar tumbled off the ferry as well, eager for a brawl. The four run brawling into the street, followed dutifully by the Hero Academy pupils and their ferry. Eventually, Nydiam would knock Avahlon out, Ojitar would stuff the Firan equivalent of a sock in his mouth, and Torianos would haul him onto the ferry. They would sail off for lands unknown, adventuring and leaving a path of mild destruction in their wake.
Back at the ranch... There is but one lone member of the Council really still there. A cute fluffy dog named Lady Muggles who has discovered a taste of newfound power. The only one there, Muggles becomes the lone decision maker and decides to push through an order that would forever change the Firan realms:
Yap yap yap, Muggles becomes the uncontested Ranivor!
