Those Damn Pokemon.
Story told on 07-04-2003
By Adara, Elissa, Cye, and Tigerwolf.
Adara:
The day dawned grey and rainy. Putting on her clothes, Sylvia Greywolfe
cursed at the heavy clouds. She went out to the kitchen, grabbing a bowl of
cereal for herself. As she ate, she read the cereal box, glancing at the
calories and nutritional facts, until a brightly colored section caught her
eye: "Free Transporter in every box!". "What the hell is a Transporter?"
queried Sylvia, "Is this another one of those damn Pokemon or something?"
(authors note: no offense to Pokemon lovers). Sylvia pawed inside the box
until her paw touched a hard, slick object. Bringing it up to the light, she
saw that it was a black box, seemingly made of plastic. "Aww, this is crap."
said Sylvia, tossing the item to the ground. Suddenly, a bright light shone
from the box, and it began to shake. The box split in two, revealing....
Elissa:
...a multitude of buttons and switches. An instruction sheet was taped to one
half, while the other half of the box glowed with an eerie phosphorescence.
Sylvia dropped her spoon into the bowl of cereal and studied the box,
slackjawed. Apparently one half was meant to function as a "home base" and
the other was carried on her person. A miniaturized map with a holographic
projector would allow her to select the point she wished to teleport herself
to. All in all, very interesting, but she couldn't think of anywhere
interesting to teleport to. "Except," she thought glumly, looking out the
rain-spattered windows, "to maybe Tahiti, where it's sunny right about now."
Cye:
So Syliva desided to take the device for a test run. She fiddled with the map
taking a few minutes to get use to the controls.. "There.", she said to
herself, "This should take me to Tahiti..", she press the button and was
gone! Except she was in the Antantic show. "Crap! Oh this worked so well..",
she said with much sarcasm.. Now geting quite chilly..
Beth:
Sylvia shivers in the cold snow and tries a different button, pushing one at
random she disappears with a flash, when her eyes refocus she blinks a few
times, it's so dark she can't even see her paw in front of her face.
Grumbling to herself, "Oh, great now where in the world am I?" Taking a step
forward she steps off the edge of the floor into a hole, and screams as she
falls.....
Adara:
...and lands smack-dab on a sand dune. Standing up, Sylvia looks around,
"Woah, where am I?" She sees that she's on a small tropical island. Palm
trees are plentiful, and so is the water, which seems to expand for miles and
miles around. "Well" contemplates Sylvia, "At least I got to go to a warm
place." Getting up, she peels off her sweatshirt and ties is around her
waist. Rolling up her jeans to make shorts, she begins to explore the tiny
island. After about 45 minutes, a though suddenly occurs to her: What am I
going to eat? And drink? And how the hell am I going to get off this damn
island?. "First thing's first" says Sylvia, "I need to find food." She gets
up and begins her search for something edible
Elissa:
Her first thought is to go fishing. Moving into the interior of the island,
she finds a small glade, with short, whip-like trees. Bending the thinnest
one back and forth several times, she manages to snap it off midway up, and
then turns her attention to finding material suitable to make line and a
hook. Scouting further, she finds rocks, similar to shale, which she manages
to break into jagged shards which may serve as a hook. Turning her attention
to finding suitable line, she is suddenly surprised by a low growl...
Cye:
..and standing there behind her is a tiger, (the non-anthro kind that is) and
it looks quite hungry.. Sylvia gulups neverously. "nice Tiger.. you don't
want to eat me.." The tiger just growls at her watching her waiting for a
chance to strike.. Sunddenly she hear someone yelling, a loud cry from above.
A figure jumps down from the tree in front of her and it's....
The End
