This game is similar to the three-words-game, with a few differences. You need to write one paragraph per post (dialogues are counted as one paragraph), and each poster must post either a happy or sad or neutral incident in the story, alternately. Here's an example (I will just use one sentence, for convenience sake): ------------------------------------------------------ Storyteller A: Mr. X is a wealthy guy, but due to the economic crisis, all of his money went down the drain. Storyteller B: However, Mr. X won the lottery and received a large amount of cash. Storyteller C: Due to the high taxes incurred, the amount of money received by him is reduced to only a meager sum of 15 cents, though. ------------------------------------------------------ Try to stick with your faction. Meaning, once you are trying to lead the story to a happy ending, don't suddenly switch to the group of guys trying to give the story a sad one. And please, try to keep the number balanced. It would be unfair if 2 'Good Ending' guys are gang-banged by 6 'Bad Ending' guys. The Admins might suddenly drop a plot twist, though, so watch out! Try to keep the plot 'logical' (you can drop a huge alien with tentacles, but please give prior notice). And, of course, no double posting. This is the beginning of our story: Rodchenko feels tired. He has been sweeping the floor for hours. Giga Mall, the largest shopping center in his city is not exactly a small place, but he is contented to work there. After all, the pay he got as a part-time janitor is quite high, at least for a high school student like him. |

However, his employer is a cruel one. Everytime Rodchenko makes the slightest mistake, he will beat Rodchenko to pulps and cut his salary. As a result, Rodchenko's body are covered in bruises and must rest once every two days while his pay are diminished indefinitely. |

Plot Twi-i-i-ist Time! Today, Rodchenko was given a very difficult task. A vandal had inserted 100 live octopuses into the air conditioning system of the mall. Now he had to think of a way to clean up all the octopuses, since the air conditioneer could not be turned on from the control room. He was given, however, state-of-the-art cleaning apparatuses, some of which look more like weapons. To make matters worse, the air conditioning liquid had mutated the octopuses. (OOC: Never mind, I just wanted to say OOC.) |

The situation is grave! was what Rodchenko's boss told him. But it's not like he cares. He decided that if there's a mutated octopus in where he worked, let it be damned and he'll leave it alone. Of course this makes his boss angry but Rodchenko, having enough beatings from his boss, went and slapped his boss, saying "I QUIT!". Rodchenko then left the stupid Mall with a feeling of tremendous triumph. "FREE AT LAST!!!" |

It was too late when he realized that he has almost no money left this month, and now he has no job. This is worse than killing the bunch of octopuses he thought. He could have killed all the octopuses, and eat them, or maybe sell them. "Idiot", he condemned himself. Just when he took out a knife from his pocket and ready to slash his wrist, he saw a ray of light coming out from the sky, piercing through the cloud, illuminating an angel that suddenly appeared before him. |

"Greetings mortal. My name is Angela, and I can grant you 3 wishes with no tax, service charge and additional fee. It even does not have any little stars (*) on my line up there. However you are not allowed to ask for additional wishes as it is against the rule." She said. However she continued with a hushed tone, " If you want more we can have it dealt underhand, if you get what I mean" and she winked. Although it looks kinda fishy, I carried on and tell her my wishes. |

His first was: I want you to abolish the rule of not allowing to wish for more wishes. After saying that the angel have a "OMGWTFOTL" look on her face and reluctantly say "U-understood". And thus his second wish was naturally "Give me unlimited wishes!" which, of course, was once again reluctantly ganted to him. |

And YES!! Now the world's fate is in his hand, for his has been granted the power of GOD!! Now he can do whatever he wishes. "Now, the WORLD SHALL FEEL MY WRATH!! I HAVE WITHSTOOD THE PAIN OF HAVING TO WORK UNDER MY BOSS!! AND NOW, THEY, TOO, SHALL SUFFER!!" is what he said, loudly, before a guy passes him and throw a coin onto his foot. |

A few minutes later, the octopuses which he left behind at his working place chased after him. He wished for them to just disappear, but a voice resounded inside his head, saying that the octopuses are godly animals and such wishes would not have any effect on them. The octopuses thus started attacking Rodchenko |

Rodchenko sensed danger. He needed to exterminate the octopuses quickly, or he will be the one to be exterminated instead. Thus, he wished dearly for weapons. Weapons that could defeat the octopuses. With a blinding light, a pair of swords, one ivory, one ebony, materialized in his hands. Now he could kill the mutant octopuses. Maybe. |

Rodchenko thought that he would defeat the octopuses easily. Unfortunately he was wrong. No sooner had the weapons materialized in his hands, the octopuses merged into one, creating the largest monster tentacle ever. He tried slashing the giant octopus with his ebony sword. Consequently, his sword was broken into pieces and scattered on the floor. And within seconds, he was sent flying by one of the floating tentacles in front of him |

Then he wished for a Massive Atomic Nuclear (MAN) explosion... And everything, including the octopus, of course, was blown to smithereens... "Now I need to wish for a new world" Rodchenko thought |

But before Rdchenko finished his sentence, the blown pieces flew at an amazing speed to one spot and formed the mighty octopus once again. One of the eight tentacles bolted to his direction and pierced through his throat. Rodchenko tried with all his might to make one more wish, but to no avail. His voice box was no longer there. Blood splattered from his neck to all directions, painting the dilapidated ground red. It seemed that light will soon fade, for Rodchenko |

However, the light does not fade for Rodchenko! He found the will to fight! With his other sword, the Ivory one, he slashed at the tentacle and cut it to pieces! The monster roared in pain and hit Rodchenko aside with its other tentacles. Rodchenko was sent flying. "I will survive!", he said to himself, "I will survive!" OOC: play a good song for the BGM! (I recommend Emiya, though) |

Fly-a-flying Rodchenko goes! He keep flying higher and higher and suddenly he's already in outer space! Looking below, he can see Earth getting smaller and smaller... Soon, Rodchenko will find himself in another planet perhaps? Hopefully there's no mutant octopus there!

Anyway. Suddenly, the flying Rodchenko was struck by a multi-billion dollar space station falling from its orbital position due to years of abandonment. Rodchenko was then sent of spiralling down back do the earth. Down to the earth, literally. |

"---------" Rodchenko was unable to speak, even though the debris from the Space Station plummeted into his whole body. Only a soundless gasp escaped his mouth, and within moments, he hit the Earth in a loud crash. (Gahhhh!) Rodchenko felt pain throughout his body. His arm, his legs, his head, his torso, all of his body parts were screaming in pain, wanting to be torn off so that he could never feel it anymore--- (This is... the end, isn't it...) Rodchenko doesn't care, even if the octopus monster is still on the loose and is going to destroy the whole human civilization. Why does he need to care? All he wishes now was to close his eyes, and take a rest... "Rodchenko." Suddenly, Rodchenko opened his eyes. In front of him was a man with a bushy moustache, wearing a striped shirt and a blue suspender. He looked at Rodchenko sternly, but his eyes look at him with a kind expression. "M-mister Jezgatov? Whoa, wait, I can talk again?" "Yes, this is in another dimension. You know, when a hero is in his critical moment, he will be sent to a place which is very white, in which he will encounter stuff. You know that moment?" "Ah... Yeah, I see. But, aren't you fired... Ah, I'm sorry, it's my fault." Rodchenko stared at the ground bitterly. He remembered pretty well about that time. His longtime mentor, Mr. Jezgatov, is the one who taught him all of his Janitor skills. He was the toughest teacher, but also the kindest. "That's okay, son. You are the best Janitor Apprentice I've ever encountered. Heck, I'm sure you're man enough to stop that octopus thing." "...No. No, I can't." "What? Why not?" "...I'm just a janitor." Jezgatov frowns. "You're wrong son. It IS because you are a janitor. It's your job to clean up all the mess. To sweep all crime, and mop all evil." Rodchenko was stunned. Before he knew it, he was sent back to reality, in which the monster's tentacle was about to crush him. He rolled, and stood up. (Kuhh!) All of his muscle was torn, but he stood up and lifted his left arm. He gathered all of his mind power, and summonned: Janitor Mop Omega Crystallization of Infinite Wishes He pointed the weapon at the monster and shoots a beam of light with all his energy. Before he fainted, he heard Jezgatov's voice: Good job, son. |
