Wyvern Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) Newly Updated: August 21st - Click comments to read! ~Vlad Vlad steps up to his news reporter seat and shuffles a few papers in his hands. The formally dressed lich brushes off some dust from his sleeves, smiles towards the news viewers, and begins his regularly-scheduled broadcast. "Today at the Pen, several carnival goers wen-" News viewers across the Pen pause as Vlad's voice becomes staticy and inaudible. They raise their brows as the screen showing Vlad's image wavers and oscilates, and frown as the image of a poorly disguised Wyvern takes its place. The reptilian Elder wears a pirate patch eye and a large Napolean Bonaparte-style hat. "This is an Almost Dragonic Brand Pirate News Broadcast." Wyvern cackles. "Coming to you direct from my ultra-sssecret untouchable headquarters." "If you think I'm shutting everyone out, you're out of your mind." The voice of Woody the door echoes in the background. Wyvern lets out a long sigh. *Ahem* "Onto the pirate news..." Recent Public Happenings: Quill-Quests! On the subject of news, Sweetcherrie needs help with headlines and publishing for her One-Time-Only Pen Gazette. Carnival! The Mighty Pen Carnival continues to move in full swing. Here are a few recent events you may want to check for: *- CheerMynx's Beauty Pageant continues to progress, and is nearing completion! *- Have an item that you're no longer interested in keeping? You might consider swapping it at the Carnival Swap Meet. *- Patrick Durham is still searching for people to build their dream Sand Castles for a prize of geld. Celebrations! Best wishes go out to our August birthday pennites. You can wish Arawn, Arwen, and Yui happy B-days in their respective threads, and a very special birthday shout goes out to Matteo, Vincent Silver, and Regel who also celebrated their birthdays earlier this month. Feel free to PM them or make a post in Aardvark's General Birthyear thread to wish'em the best. While all thoughtfulness is appreciated, remember that creative posts are always preferable! Other Things to Attend to: Weenies? The option always remains to work them off with a post. Promotions! Members should consider helping in the discussion of promotions. Street Team! Those involved in the Street Team should consider helping out with the first party. Having finished with these announcements, Wyvern adjusts his eye patch and sneers towards the viewing audience. "And now, a word from our Almost Dragonic sponsors." The screen turns to static again, then refocusses in a rotating circular pattern on the screen. "Paaayyyy Wyyyyvvveeerrrrn geeeelllllllllld. Paaaaaayyyy Wyyyyvvvverrrrrn gelllllld." ;-) [OOC: Big thanks to Wyvern for covering for me this time! The rest is a little addition I decided to make. ] Edited August 26, 2005 by Vlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 As the golden letters continue rotating, the blue background flickers and reveals the lich in the middle of his broadcast, unaware that his transmition had been pirated. After a few moments the letters fade out as well, and the sound feed cuts back in. "-the weather promises to continue to be fair for the duration of the carnival, with slight cloud cover to abate the heat later this week." "In market news, Almost Dragonic Enterprises reported underwhelming profits for the fourth quarter. Our on site reporters tried to contact a representative but company insiders refused to comment on the situation." "The archeological section of the carnival staff has uncovered three new items, and are still trying to figure out what they are. If you think you may know message our hotline immediately." "That concludes our evening broadcast, I'm Vlad on behalf of Mighty Pen News." "Goodnight Terra, and have a pleasant tomorrow." Key: Green = Public, Orange = Initiates+, Purple = Quill-Bearer+, Gray = Expired. Red = New. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
