Citizens of the pen, I bring from my lands, a story of war and rebellion. Of survival and polictical commentary. Of love and hope.

 

And, as Roley would so humbly add: Wine, women and song!

 

I give you, as my entry to the Mighty Pen, the first chapter of Utopia's Twilight.

 

I hope you will enjoy my tale, there will be more to come -eventually- as writing is a skill of mine, but not my addiction.

 

Enjoy!

 

(Note: I didn't want to have the format chewed to bits since this was written in Word, so I'll post a link here to ensure the format is intact)

You'll have to excuse my lack of clarity. I merely had trouble with the format of the document, so I put it into an HTML file and uploaded it onto my website.

 

I assure you this is my writing and it's an entirely orginal story, Burhin in paticular could vouch to that!

 

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

Jonathan Wolfe hesitantly pushes open the door to the Recruiter's Office, eagerly anticipating the verdict of his application, only to be immediatly greeted by the Elder of Initiates... The overgrown lizard is wearing a formal business suite and widely grins as Jonathan enters, shaking the applicant's hand in a proffesional manner and quickly escorting him to the Recruitment Desk. As Jonathan is seated in a comfortable easy chair and Wyvern scrambles to take out several legal documents, the applicant notices that there is a television resting on the desk along with a brand new Y-Box Home Entertainment System (a video game system that has no relationship what-so-ever to Microsoft's X-Box)...

 

"You'll be happy to know that the acceptance of your application has been skillfully arranged..." hisses Wyvern sinisterly, rubbing his scaly palms together with glee "I'll accept your application under one condition: if I can have exclusive rights for a video game spin-off of your application story!"

 

Upon hearing this, Jonathan Wolfe raises an eyebrow in curiousity and suddenly sits upright in his chair. "Video game spin-off...?"

 

"Absolutely!" responds Wyvern, glorious visions of geld dancing through the lizard's head "I'll sign with some electronics company, label it an Action/Adventure-type shoot'em up, and make millions and millions of geld!"

 

Jonathan Wolfe frowns. "But won't it take away most of the plot when the story is converted to a game? And why wasn't I informed of this project earlier...?"

 

Wyvern curses something under his breath and fidgets, then looks towards Jonathan Wolfe once again. " So what if it takes away from the plot? ... You'd prefer if the project didn't take place then, Mr. Wolfe?"

 

Jonathan Wolfe smiles slightly and nods.

 

Wyvern sighs and lays several documents he was hoping to have signed back on his desk. "What a pity... I had a proto-type copy ready and everything. Well, I'm afraid that your application will just have to be reje-"

 

*AHEM*

 

Wyvern is interrupted in mid-sentence by the familiar sound of his Almost-Secretary clearing her throat... Melba glares at Wyvern, holding a menacing-looking baseball bat in one hand while clenching the other into a tight fist...

 

"Don't you think it's rather corrupt to judge people's applications by their marketability rather then their writing?" growls Melba angrily, slowly approaching the Recruitment Desk.

 

Wyvern thinks this question over for a moment, then smugly responds "No..." while smiling evily and crossing his arms over his chest. Noticing Melba's baseball bat, the overgrown lizard has a sudden change of heart and changes his response to "Yes, Yes, Yes!" in a matter of seconds...

 

With that, the overgrown lizard returns Jonathan Wolfe's application sheet with the word 'ACCEPTED' stamped on it and promptly throws his Y-Box out the window...

 

;p

 

OOC: A good story thus far, Jonathan Wolfe, and an 'ACCEPTED' application. Welcome to the Mighty Pen, and be sure to post your e-mail so I can get you the password info and stuff!
