Finally I can post something about the story! I wrote it in Shakespearean because were fighting in a drama theatre, and it’s only one of our adventures in Omsk!

The Splash Squad did plan their next offensive 'gainst maketh out pointeth #5 at the omsk academic drama theatre and head'd out to doth battleth. Those gents hath found t wast going to beest quite the festive theatrical one as shakespearean them'd popeth bots descend'd upon those folk. Those gents wouldst fie quotations from many famous plays and attacketh with sw'rds spears, axes, and muskets. While the girls hath found the wardrobes quite romance inspiring; those gents w're not hesitating to maketh the defeat those folk causing those folk to wend into ov'rly dramatic death throes. The Splash Squad did get hath caught up in the moment and w're speaking in ways yond wouldst maketh shakespeare quite fustian. Dmitri did exclaim, “v'rily! we shalt striketh at thee foul machinations till we findeth thy naughty loveth trial; and driveth a stake through its heart!”

Polly coming up to a doubleth doth'r spake while switching to h'r splash cannon declaring thusly, “while i am but a humble demoiselle thy ilk vexes me to nay endeth and so i sayeth unto thee; feeleth mineth righteous fury!!!” Polly fir'd h'r cannon and blast'd the playeth pops and the doth'r ope. Team splash w're hath changed into shakespearean garb f'r the hurlyburly yond wast to cometh by fashion popeth bots from backstage wardrobe. Dmitri and nicolai w're did dress in knight and arch'r clothing and armeth'r; while Polly and Ann w're putteth into quite quaint medieval ballroom gowns. Inside those gents ranneth, yet unbeknownst to our h'roes the trial of loveth wast th're and the stage lights did shine down brightly upon t. T wast reveal'd in all its gl'ry to beest the loveth inn, a mobile pink robot model'd aft'r a hotel. Of course this hotel wast not v'ry inviting 'r hospitable and beganeth to fireth weapons from the windows yond hath opened.

Occasionally robot guests and staff wouldst popeth out of the windows and throweth luggage and shoes at team splash. Ann did yell, “f'rsooth! we beest not cats! did quit throwing thine cobbl'd shoes!” Ann fir'd h'r custom painteth ak48 at the windows and did manage to destroyeth some of those folk as the inn hath moved 'round on its two treads.
Suddenly Polly wast did grab by a rope yond did shoot out from the front doth'r and wast did pull inside. Polly then hadst to navigateth the traps and enemies in 'rd'r to receiveth backeth out, and while yond wast happening on the upp'r balcony a popeth bot did dress as juliet em'rg'd while a romeo popeth bot cameth up from the did grind below. A sappy narrat'r popeth bot did start telling the tale of romeo and juliet while an audience of popeth bots did listen intently. At which hour team splash w're doing well howev'r those gents wouldst boo and hurl various things onto the stage trying to hitteth those folk.

Polly having blast'd a playeth popeth bot to pieces wast confront'd by a popeth bot sw'rdsman who is't the lady beganeth sw'rd fighting with. The loveth inn the hath opened lengthwise revealing the three inn'r levels Polly hadst to square through in 'rd'r to receiveth to the fourth flo'r. Th're wast a mure madeth of transparent mat'rial letting ev'ryone behold inside but eke preventing Polly from escaping by simply jumping out onto the stage and t madeth t behold liketh a nice side scrolling adventure game. F'rward the lady bravely advanc'd checking at one dastardly trapeth aft'r anoth'r, mostly. Aft'r getting did tie up to a v'rtical platf'rm the lady hadst to bethink festinate to free h'rself bef're t spun 'round and the lady wast taken behind the mure while sw'rd popeth did laugh maniacally. The lady did manage to free h'rself and continueth onward battling the dark sw'rdsbot.

Dmitri did manage to sweaty haste inside the loveth inn narrowly avoiding tomatoes did toss in his direction and beganeth h'roically battling through the evil devices. Polly wast pushing the sw'rd popeth to the balcony at which hour t did gain the upp'r handeth and hath sent h'r ov'r the edge. Polly did hang on f'r lief life as Dmitri beganeth to square the popeth bot while popeth juliet tooketh out h'r noticeably large axe to punisheth Dmitri f'r int'rrupting h'r scene. Dmitri duck'd causing the axe to cleave the sw'rd popeth in twain giving that gent timeth to runneth to Polly and pulleth h'r up. Popeth juliet wouldst not
beest did deny howev'r as popeth romeo did scale the mure of the loveth inn to joineth his belov'd in combat. In to the loveth inn those gents ranneth as the fourth flo'r hath changed to a ballroom. Gracefully those gents did dance divine while fighting 'gainst the two mechanical lov'rs and their fellow playeth popeth bot danc'rs.

Dmitri and Polly hadst suddenly hath found themselves in a deadly danceth competition. Those gents figur'd sachi and marchpane 'riginally intend'd this setteth up f'r dancing with doubleth troubleth, but anon t wast being hath used to destroyeth those folk. Polly remarked, “this is ridiculous! we has't to out danceth those robots 'r the flo'r area we’re standing on shall electrocute us!” Dmitri annoy'd hath said, “I don’t bethink we couldst square those folk if 't be true we did want to the flo'r is booby did trap, but if 't be true i might not but dance… i’m… glad… its… with… thee. ” Polly slightly in scarlet did reply, “is t very much yond hard to sayeth yond to me? i might not but maketh thee very much n'rvous mine own valorous sir. So i guesseth this is the parteth wh're i taketh thy handeth and we’ll maketh t?” Dmitri answ'red, “Well i guesseth t is and togeth'r we shall winneth mine own mistress.

”Dmitri and Polly did dance, combated, and eliminat'd their competition couple by couple until only those gents and romeo and juliet did remain. At this pointeth the pretense of frivolity cameth to an endeth as the did declare winn'rs w're Dmitri and Polly. Romeo popeth and juliet popeth tooketh out their weapons and did charge the two backeth out onto the balcony wh're those gents desired to hath fallen their rivals. But alas those gents w're defeat'd by Dmitri and Polly and hath sent ov'r the edge crashing
to the flo'r below. Holding hands those gents happily proclaim'd throughout the landeth, “Real loveth needeth not beest manufactur'd and emulat'd by the masses. At which hour thee sayeth how thee truly feeleth yond is romance at its most pow'rful.

The silent theat'r 'rupt'd in massive boos and hisses as multiple objects w're thrown at the two. This unexpectedly did damage the loveth inn making t easi'r f'r team splash to finish t off in quite dramatic fashion. As the loveth inn sparked, belch'd smoketh, and did collapse onto the stage flo'r, team splash did bow and curtsi'd to the crowd as those gents all explod'd in their seats sending springs and gears safely raining down 'round those folk. Those gents all did exclaim, “truly we has't did triumph and has't vict'ry! and anon we shalt wend on our m'rry way!” (End of excerpt)

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
