Finished The Challenge: Season 6 - The Winner Crowned!

Status
Not open for further replies.
The three contestants approach lever A. Suddenly, the leafy ground sinks to reveal a bottomless pit. Luckily the contestants were ready for such trickery and stepped back just time, only managing to exhaust a bit of energy and skin a bit of leg. Lever A was a trap!
 
The three contestants approach Switch B, perhaps more cautiously that before. They tread ligtly across to were the lever is stationed and each put hands on it. They pull as one, half expecting some weird mechanism to launch another trap. After a few seconds (which felt like a few hours), a door pops open to reveal a store of ropes!

Proper update will come some time in the future. D:
 
<bbninjas> So, you found a rope without much difficulty?
<Mora> We only had a single… ‘injury’. :D
<bbninjas> Let’s hope this ‘injury’ won’t downgrade your performance…
<steffenka> Everyone in position?
<steffenka> Take strain!
<steffenka> And go!
<steffenka> The contestants appear to be well matched at this point!
<steffenka> Neither side appears to be giving way!
<steffenka> !!!
<steffenka> Keeper’s gritting his teeth in determination!
<steffenka> The rest of the team is following in suit!
<steffenka> And here comes the big tug :O
*Keeper, Mora and scattered tug…
<steffenka> And Xerneas has been pulled into the pit!
<bbninjas> Which means the winners are Keeper, Mora and scattered!
<bbninjas> Xerneas loses 15 coins, which we be equally split amongst the winners. :3
<bbninjas> Is it time for the rolling-

<steffenka> No, not yet.
<steffenka> We’ve got very little time left
<steffenka> And we’re down to the last 5 turns!
<steffenka> So let’s check the standings. :3
<steffenka> 1st is Mora; 2nd is scattered; 3rd is Xerneas; Last is Keeper
<steffenka> So who will reign??
<steffenka> Well I think that…
<steffenka> Using a bunch of maths and technical game stuff...
<steffenka> Keeper will win!
<Mora> I call trickery! :U
<Xerneas> Bleh
<scattered> Right, wtv you say. :v
<Keeper> *smirk*
<steffenka> Attention please. :U
<steffenka> Blue Spaces and Red Spaces will be, from now on, worth twice as much!!
<steffenka> And you’re ‘pass GO’ bonus is now 20 coins!
<steffenka> This is an amazing opportunity!
<scattered> How amazing.
<steffenka> We really could see some players climb the ladder in the near future!
<Mora> And who are you suggesting?
<steffenka> *ignores*
<steffenka> The final part of the Challenge is about to arise.
<steffenka> Keep collecting stars and good luck!
<Xerneas> Gee, thnx.

*Mora rolls a 5.
*Mora is shot by Luispipe8 to Black Member’s Base 2!
*scattered rolls a 8!

<bbninjas> Heeeeey!
<bbninjas> Got your coins this time?
<Keeper> Sure do!
<Keeper> Gimme that star!
<bbninjas> You better ask nicely. :U
<Keeper> No.
<bbninjas> Well then, no star-
<Keeper> -Imean pls! :3
<bbninjas> o_O
<bbninjas> Whatever, have your star.
*Keeper pays 20 coins for a star from bbninjas!
<bbninjas> You know, we really must stop this battle immediately.
<bbninjas> It’s really important.
<Keeper> More important than the future of this competition?
<bbninjas> Good point.
*Xerneas rolls a 3.

<bbninjas> And that’s all the rolling, folks!
<bbninjas> So, who here has done a bit of bowling?
<Mora> What, on the lawn?
<bbninjas> No… :v
<Keeper> You’re not dissing lawn bowls are you? >:L
<bbninjas> No, no, of course not!
<bbninjas> Anyways, I just set up this really cool bowling alley!
<bbninjas> It’s got electric fences and it’s not even in a straight line!
<Xerneas> What.
<bbninjas> You’ll be bowling a Koopa.
*steffenka fleeeeeees!!!
<bbninjas> Of course, there will be only one bowler.
<bbninjas> The rest of you will be temporarily zapped into bowling pins.
<bbninjas> The bowler will be-
<Mora> Keeper, of course.
<bbninjas> Uh, no.
<bbninjas> It’ll be you, actually!
<Mora> Stupid game.
<bbninjas> Be sure not to let the Koopa hit the electrical fence or it’ll wake up and escape!
<Celever> There was no animals harmed in the making of this minichallenge, jsyk. ;_;

Bowl Over
  • Mora’s amazing bowling skills will be measured using the following game. She must beat Maze Mouse found here: [link]
  • If Mora doesn’t beat the game (or at least beat as much as I find acceptable [no, you don’t get to know what I find acceptable), she will fail in her bowling and score no coins.
  • Mora has until the Monday the 12th, October, 7:00PM AEST to PM bbninjas and Celever a screenshot depicting the completed game on the linked site, or at least her progress up to the deadline, with a PB tab open.
  • The other three (Keeper, scattered and Xerneas) are bowling pins, along with a few of your typical pins. Mora will steal coins from these contestants if they get knocked over, as well as gain coins by knocking over the typical pins (this is random).
  • These three may PM bbninjas and Celever one of the three following actions by the same deadline, to see who, if any, will be knocked over by the shell, providing Mora doesn’t fail.
    • Push a player! - This will push a player of your choice into the shell to be knocked over. This will fail if the player you PM’d me is Defending.
    • Run away! - This will cause you to run away. You will escape from getting knocked over by the shell unless you are pushed into it.
    • Defend! - This will cause you to defend from any bogan who decides to push you into a shell. This will prevent you from being pushed into the shell and instead will push the player that intended to push you into the shell. However, if noone attempts to push you, you will be a sitting duck and get hit by the shell.

<steffenka> And 20 coins will be stolen from someone and given to another!
*scattered jumps again

<bbninjas> What a turn left to chance!
<bbninjas> Anyways, I have this lightbulb!
<bbninjas> There’s this poor maiden’s house that has become haunted by ghosts
<bbninjas> Ghosts hate light, so you contestants must work together to light up the house.
<bbninjas> This is the lightbulb!
*bbninjas waves lightbulb arou-
<bbninjas> O>O
*bbninjas accidentally drops lightbulb
<Keeper> Now look at what you’ve done. :L
<bbninjas> D:
<Xerneas> Aaaand by chance you dropped the lightbulb. ._.
<bbninjas> D:
<Mora> Well, it looks like we’ve got to get some other lightbulb!
<Mora> Must help that poor maiden :3
<bbninjas> Great idea!
<Keeper> You can speak! D:
<bbninjas> …

Running of the Bulb
  • Whoops! bbninjas, being the derp he his, dropped the lightbulb, which has shattered!
  • Contestants must find the most creative/coolest/most aesthetic/practical lightbulb to be submitted. This lightbulb can be designed by yourself or it could be from the internet.
  • I have looked at the first page of Google, meaning those lightbulbs are no longer creative. :v
  • I will look through each bulb and give a score out of 10. If I give 7 or more, you have passed. If I give you less, you will lose and will not gain coins from this challenge.
  • There’s a catch. Keeper will begin holding the bulb initially once a replacement has been decided, which means that if I don’t find his bulb creative enough; everyone will lose.
  • Contestants have until the Tuesday the 13th of October, 7:00PM AEST to PM Celever and bbninjas their bulb submission.

<bbninjas> So, we’ve got a nice assortment of options here!
<bbninjas> scattered has submitted a very innovative and quirky concept. [link]
<bbninjas> Mora has taken an odd, unique route - could it pay off? [link]
<bbninjas> Keeper has stolen a stock photo… [link]
<bbninjas> And Xerneas has decided to multiply our lightbulb supply by infinity! [link]
<bbninjas> Mora receives 7/10; Keeper receives 8/10; scattered recieves 7/10 and Xerneas recieves 5/10.
<bbninjas> We can only use a /single/ lightbulb and unfortunately those bulbs are bit plain.
<bbninjas> So everyone except for Xerneas receives 10 coins!
<bbninjas> Congratulations!

*Xerneas rolls a 1. :(
<Xerneas> /sigh

<bbninjas> Well, that was fun! :3
<Keeper> For you :U
<bbninjas> Anyways, this next challenge will be the Crane Game!
<bbninjas> And Keeper will be controlling the Crane!
<Mora> ._.
<Keeper> Do you have short memory loss or something?
<Keeper> Do we need to take you to the doctor or something?
<bbninjas> ?
<Keeper> nm ._.
<bbninjas> Anyways, this crane is locked by a code, which Keeper’ll need to crack.
<Keeper> Please no shapes. >_>
<bbninjas> Aww, don’t worry - if you write me a masterpiece, I’ll give you the code for free!
<Keeper> Oh, that sounds much better. :U

Crane Game
  • Let’s play that claw grab game! Keeper will be controlling the claw, while everyone else will be prizes.
  • Keeper must write the first chapter of a narrative. This introductory chapter must incorporate the following stimulus in some way: “Why must I have to feel like this?”
  • If Keeper hooks me in enough and responds to the stimulus appropriately (recommendation: character thoughts), I will give him the code, so he can choose to grab one of the following and receive its coin value:
    • A moneybag (5 coins)
    • A coin (1 coin)
    • A treasure chest (10 coins)
    • scattered (steal a third of his coins)
    • Mora (steal a third of her coins)
    • Xerneas (steal a third of his coins)
  • Keeper has until Wednesday, 14th of October, 7PM AEST to PM bbninjas and Celever his chapter submission. He will need to PM the player/item he’d like to grab when submitting.
  • The remaining three contestants may also attempt to write the first chapter in a similar fashion. If their introduction hooks me more than Keeper’s introduction, they will be immune to being grabbed by him.

Chapter 1

The Arrival


Why am I here?

As he walked toward the front door, the gentleman pulled out his invitation. An invitation to a party of sorts. It was signed by a friend of his, one he had not met with for a long time, and so he had decided to attend. Though the location had him on edge… The cabin looked less than inviting. Located outside of town, a few miles out into the countryside, the cabin was very large and well-kept. Clouds had just begun to roll in, but the news had no reports of storms for that night.

Mr. Night knocked on the large wooden door, and the sound echoed dully. He heard a low rumble of thunder behind him, and the door opened slowly. In the archway was not the man Mr. Night had expected to see, not his friend.

“Good evening, Mr. Night. We are pleased you could make it.”

“Yes, sorry, and who are you?” Mr. Night looked the man up and down, unable to recognize him. He was young, no more than 18 years of age, but wore a coat of old military fashion. And the gleam he held in his eye… Mr. Night knew he could never have seen the darkness of war.

“Cyle, Cyle Everard, sir. I sent you the invitation on behalf of my uncle.”

Mr. Night picked up his briefcase and quickly moved inside the entryway. “Your uncle?”
“May I take your coat, sir?” The young lad ignored the question, but Mr. Night shrugged it off for the time being.

“I can handle that myself. Will others be arriving?” Mr. Night looked around him, had he been here once before? The large staircase in front of him seemed familiar. A large parlor to his right, a dining area to his left. Antique furnishings, marble floors… It reminded him of home.

“We sent other invitations, of course, though the storm may hold them up, should it worsen.”

“Yes… Yes of course.”
“I shall let my uncle know you have arrived. He shall be ever so pleased. Do make yourself comfortable in the meantime.” He gestured into the parlor, which was lit brightly with a magnificent fire in the marble fireplace against the wall, before running upstairs.

Before he reached the top, the young man looked back. “I have a kettle on the stove, Mr. Night, if you should care for some tea.” Though he ran off, not waiting for an answer.

Mr. Night sat on the loveseat in front of the fireplace. It was bitterly cold outside, what a miserable winter it had been. Sitting here warm, with the thought of a kettle on the stove… But his happy thoughts were interrupted as the young Cyle Everard pounded back down the stairs.

“My uncle was just in the bath, sir, he should be down shortly.”

“Very good lad,” Mr. Night turned and gestured for the boy to sit across from him. “Would you tell me a bit of yourself? I hadn’t known my friend to have any nephew!”

The boy smiled and took a seat, “I was born in America, sir, perhaps that would explain it. My mother, my uncle’s sister, that is, moved there several years ago. She thought now would be a good time to visit my uncle here in Ireland, given the state he’s in.”

Mr. Night furrowed his brow, “What state would that be?”
“Did you not hear sir? The poor man… He’s dying, you see. We know not how long he has left but… My mother couldn’t make the trip. I’m here… In her place, I suppose? Helping where I can. I invited his closest friends, from what I could gather, as per his request.”

“And how many individuals are you expecting?”

At that moment, there was a knock at the door, and Cyle jumped from his seat. “That must be some of them now. Please excuse me, Mr. Night.”

Night waved him off, and stared into the fire. He knew know something was wrong. Something wasn’t right. Cyle was hiding something… That much was certain. But other guests had arrived… And Mr. Night had known this man for years… Since they were younger than Cyle to be sure. Maybe parts of what the lad spoke were true after all?

At that moment, Cyle walked in again, escorting two figures in formal dress.

“Mr. Night,” Cyle addressed the gentleman, “Allow me to introduce Fennick S. Meanders and Miss Miranda. Do get acquainted, I’ll be getting the tea off the stove.”

Mr. Night stood up. The new arrivals seemed perfectly at ease, as if the setting didn’t bother them at all. Fennick, a young man eagerly shook Night’s hand, re-introducing himself to the gentleman.

“It’s such a pleasure to meet you sir! My name is Fennick Meanders, PhD, I’ve heard so much about your work in the field, it’s an inspiration.”

The second part of the sentence made Night feel uneasy, but he opted to change the subject, “PhD? Always nice to meet a man of education! What did you study, if I may ask?”

“Biotechnology, sir, it’s revolutionary! Truly the future of innovation.”

“That is quite the subject, Mr. Meanders. What of you, Miss Miranda? Were you-”

“Where is he?” The lady interrupted.

Mr. Night was taken aback, and Fennick looked surprised as well. “Pardon me?”

“Where is he? The man that wrote this letter. I demand to know why I was brought here.”

“Miss, I’m afraid-”

“Nevermind, I need to find the facilities. If you’ll excuse me.”

Fennick watched her leave, “Fiesty, that one, it seems.”
Mr. Night suppressed a chuckle, and another knock was heard at the door. Cyle didn’t appear to be in sight, so he excused himself from Fennick’s presence to answer it.

An older man was outside, shaking off his wet coat, “I say, boy, it’s one hell of a storm out here! Won’t you invite me in?” Night looked outside, the clouds had begun their true deluge now. This is why Mr. Night never trusted promises people made. Weatherman says no rain? Let there be rain!

Mr. Night stood back, allowing the man inside. “Good job, boy, you can operate the handle. Now then!” The old man stepped inside the parlor, “Which one of you is Barbarous?”

Mr. Night walked in behind him, “Barbarous, sir? Who would that be?”

Fennick looked at Mr. Night, “The man who sent the invitation, of course!”

“My letter was signed by a friend I once knew, and I assure you his name was not Barbarous.”

The old man laughed, “I like you boy. The name’s Xavier. Xavier Right. And I can tell you that you’ve been tricked! In fact, maybe we all have! I’d never heard of a Barbarous either! But he said to come out for a grand ol’ time, so I did!”

Fennick pulled a letter from his coat, “I was hired with a “team of engineers” to fix a broken circuitry board. ...Am I to assume that you’re not actually engineers?”

Xavier laughed, “You use big words sonny, but I’ll be out of here for now. I hear a pot o’ tea whistlin’ my name!” The old man leapt out of the room toward the dining area.

“...Was Cyle not tending the tea-?”

“Mr. Night, if you’ll excuse me, I think I too shall be looking out for this ‘Barbarous.’ It seems he hs some explaining to do.”

Once Mr. Night was alone in the room, he pulled out his letter again. It was his friend’s handwriting… It was his thoughts!

“Dear Kevin, old friend, it’s been too long.

I have arranged a get-together in a rented cabin located near your location. Other friends, family members of course, should be arriving as well. It’d be such a shame for you to miss this. A chance for us to catch up.

But there’s another reason why I chose to write you as I did. There’s… A project, of sorts, I need your help with. Your expertise. There is a reason why I feel this is necessary, but I cannot tell you yet. Please arrive at the address enclosed at the determined date, I shall be there when you arrive.”

Mr. Night felt uneasy. His friend was always working on projects, and he always knew he could count on his friend Kevin to be curious enough to help him. Night decided that finding his friend would be the fastest way to solve this mystery.

But Night was alone. More than that, there were no noises anywhere. No footsteps from the top floor, no voices echoing down the long halls… It was too quiet for the amount of people that should have been in the building.

I can’t feel at ease here. Why? Why do I feel this way? Like I’ve been here before… Like I know it’s bad… Though I know I’ve never… Or have I?

A scream from upstairs startled him from his thoughts, and he immediately rushed up the stairs.

Maybe something really was wrong. Maybe there was good reason to be anxious. A reason he was so alert of his environment.

After all, his friend never had a sister.

In this challenge, when I mean recreate I mean literally recreate. Not just copy and colour. I mean like stretch the eyebrows out, squash those cheeks, do whatever. Just like how these lovely mutilations in this past have turned out. :p

Considering Shakespeare, I think that means I did things right. I'll take it.

Just be glad the dialogue wasn't in thou's and thy's and ere's. Cause ya know that would have been a lot of fun to read.
