What if I started drinking caffeine on a regular basis?

[DScott]

You know, before The AuxCable, I was pretty much non-existent on the internet.

[DScott]

Say what?

Or Podcast Production Advisor and/or Consultant.

I accept the invitation. I have been suggested Court Jester, and Official Spokesman as titles. Public Relations could be a possibility, but I’m terrible at lying *cough*. I could take the title of Default Editor.

[DScott]

oOOOoh…

It’s Watermelon! Happy Birthday!

I just read the newest entry of the story. I’m not sure why it took me a while to get to it but it did.
What just happened in the story could be the climax. As it is now, it isn’t. It could be depending on how the next entries are presented and how the characters are dealt with though. It does seem to indicate that the story is at least winding up for the climax.

This is what a good book looks like to me:

You know that I always thought that he was a good little fellow, now run to the store and get a bag of marshmallows.

[DScott]

Sounds like you’ll have fun. I believe the most serious costume I ever did was a crewman from Star Trek.

[DScott]

We’re glad to see you around. Take care.

[DScott]

Noel-E! We’ve honestly been rather been rather quite on the Not-Forum recently, but I think we check it regularly.

[DScott]

Cool!

[DScott]

At first I thought Poulet Frit you might be,
That made no sense because she didn’t have the time.
To finish my little rhyme,
After your move to Youtube, I knew who you were really.

[DScott]

You made quite the jest.
After all the intrigue,the mystery,
I wondered who you must be.
I had been making many a wild guess.
Your comments which the Not-Forum did stir
You must be Bekah Longacre!

[DScott]

Sounds interesting, but I haven’t seen Infinity War, so…

[DScott]

Authorities are still trying to work out the details, but experts say that the copycat of the infamous Tingle is still on the loose.

Josiah unfurled the papers Douglas had drawn-up up of the complex. He looked down at it a moment before glancing up at everyone with him in the dusty, dimly lit room. Kye was standing ready at the edge of the table studying the layout of the ship they were about to try to board, Ryan stood nearby nodding, Douglas was nervously going over some last-minute details, Manalive stood nearby analyzing everything. Mason stood near the wall, with Dawn nearby, and Brooke was looking through some old spells Kye had found.
“We’re going to go in and we’re going to get out. Right now, we’re just getting Peter.”
Kye looked up. Since she had been searching for spells during planning, she wasn’t completely sure what was going on. “What do you mean just Peter?”
Josiah turned his attention to Kye. “Oh, sorry. This is why we go over everything twice. Douglas had some information about that.”
Douglas began speaking. “Yes. I overhead some guards discussing the capture. Or was it the attempt… Oh, maybe a plan…”
Manalive looked at Douglas skeptically as Josiah interrupted him. “Indeed. The point is that Carlos could be in there, and maybe Robecca as well.”
Douglas muttered “Wait, did I see him?” under his breath.
Josiah ignored him and continued “We can’t run around to rescue them when we aren’t sure they’re there. I main priority is to get Peter, then find and stop Kristen. Manalive, Brooke, Douglas and I are the only ones going in. I don’t want everyone out there when we aren’t sure where we’re going.”
Manalive rubbed chin as he furrowed his eyebrows. “Can we trust him?” He glanced at Douglas. “He doesn’t seem to be all there, not to mention…”
Josiah heaved a sigh and looked at Douglas as well “Brooke was able to use some spells to confirm Peter is indeed where he said. I’ve done the math myself. We should jump directly to Peter.”
***********************************************************

“Lord Kumquat, they are preparing to board.” A Franklin said holding a hand over the head phones on his ear.
“Thank you. Make sure a security detail is ready.” The Freakish fruit looked down at Peter’s prone body. “And make sure he doesn’t try anything.”
Lord Kumquat made his way to the ships prison. He passed a cell with three middle aged men. “Good evening Gentlemen.” They glared through the glass as he passed.
He came to an empty cell and waited as two Franklins came up beside him carrying guns. He waited. A few minutes later a portal opened, and Douglas jumped through and looked around in shock. He was soon followed by Manalive, Brooke, Ryan and Josiah. Josiah looked at Douglas.
“Get us out of here.”
“I’m TRYING. I’m trying.” Said Douglas as he fumbled with his box.
Lord Kumquat looked at them with an expression between a scowl and a smile. Whatever it was, it was supposed to express pleasure.
“Good job Franklin. I knew you’d get them to me soon enough.”
Douglas shook his head while Manalive looked from the Franklins to Douglas.
Shook his head and Douglas muttered “I didn’t.”
“You did. You really thought you were free from my control? You were the first to succumb to my power. You’re the one who freed me. When you blew up the original ACCU?”
“No that was to… Wait… It was because…”
Douglas turned and stepped into a corner. Josiah looked through the glass as Lord Kumquat hovered away. He could hear orders about keeping them secure. Manalive came to look through the glass barrier himself. The one of the three men in the cell across from them was staring at them.
“Gentlemen, we have company.”
“I have no interest in talking to the sentient orange.” One of the others grunted.
“It’s more prisoners.”
“Oh.” The other two joined the third at peered at their new inmates. Manalive studied them.
“Josiah, I think they’re Franklins.”
“Indeed. I believe your correct.”
One of the Franklins spoke up. “Actually, we are the original Franklins. Well, all but one of them anyway.” He scowled, and another continued. “We had a fourth among us, but he sided with Kumquat.”
Josiah looked somewhat skeptical. “How are all three of you the original?”
“There was a magical sword. Initially we were one split into four by it, but we pushed its limits to the extreme.”
“I see.” Josiah nodded. He looked at the corner Douglas was sitting in. Brooke was sitting next to him “Excuse me. Manalive, see what else they can tell us.”
Josiah walked to them and kneeled.
“Brooke, what can you do?”
“Nothing, I’ve tried all the spells I can think of.”
“I figured.”
Josiah took Douglas’ black box.
Brooke looked at him skeptically. “You don’t think you can get that to work, do you?”
“No, but what’s inside might be useful.”
“The Power Bracelet?”
“Exactly.”
Josiah pried the box open. Once he managed to get the metal off he peered inside and saw… wires. That was expected. He gently moved them around. Still no Power Bracelet. This was unexpected.
