It is what many people would consider to be a nice, normal, sunny day in Degolburg. The latest hero's statue's feet is being used to knock down its predecessor's, wailing and KABOOM is clearly audible from the Gardens, the stocks are a riot, and the smell of newbie blood is fresh and pungent on the fields. The warriors' pockets are jangling, full of ill-gotten gold from innocent critters that habitate the forest. Violet's latest reject is curled up in the pavement, looking suicidally depressed; the sun illuminates his tears, along with the worn buildings, the DK marks clawed into various trees, the muddy puddles trodden into by newly-bought mounts trailing reluctantly out of the stables after their new owners.

Everything, as usual, is beautiful. Doesn't everyone want a piece of beauty? What is more enjoyable than capturing it?

That's exactly what those strange looking people hiding behind the Trade Store are looking to do. They also own these strange metal abominations; some people may have read about them in books.

We call them "Cameras" and they are pretty similar to paint and paintbrush, only the wielder doesn't have to paint! They have tiny little men hidden inside them that paint at an impossibly fast rate, painting lots and lots of pictures of what they see; when the person using the "Camera" is finished, they can press a few pieces on the side that stick out and make clicky noises when you press them, and then the little men will put all the pictures into a box that can be circular or cuboid-shaped. This is called a "Tape" When put into another magic box we call a "Video Player", the next step begins! You see, the "Video Player" is not unlike a dock; here, the little men jump out of the box into the "Video Player" with their pictures, and run up a long tube-like object into another box we call a "Television", or a "Projector" (this needs a large blank vertical surface too, though). Here, the pictures are shown a puppet of the Green Dragon herself; however, this puppet is so lifelike that it scares the pictures into moving and talking, which is what we see on the "Television" or the "Projector"!

By the way, that weird guy is pointing his "Camera" at you. Today, you sense, is not a good day for the magic little men; the book says they may shoot fire if provoked. Ducking would be a good idea.

Anyone can play the cameramen. Feel free to take the space up.

Tiv sits behind the well, turns around and sticks her bottom lip out at the strange person with the "Camera" perched atop their shoulder. The "Camera" looks pretty dangerous.

Treg will take a "shot" at being a CameraPerson. He presses the "take picture" button.

Tapping her foot impatiently, Tiv waits for something eventful to happen.

THENEVERYTHINGSALLLIKEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM. We'll blame Treg.

Treg didn't do anything, he swears!

Zegmorien with a very strange urge, rushes in front of the magical "Camera" box and begins to chant, "Are we on Cops!? Are we on Cops?!" and flails his arms about.

Treg is filming for the history channel.

Zegmorien
05-06-2007, 12:08 PM
Zegmorien stops flailing his arms and says, "Oh."

He then thinks for a moment, points the camera downward and says in his History Channel Announcer Voice, "A few hundred years ago people relied upon more simple forms of transportation. As you can see by the resultant vehicle residue as seen here. Otherwise known as Horse Poo among locals."

Directs camera to X-Kal drinking from the well, "In this time period such an abundance of horse poo along with human waste thrown from the upper stories of buildings contaminated drinking water. The then unknown ecoli bacterial strains leeched into the underground water supply resulting in a variety of gastrointestinal illnesses. We'll now break for a message from our sponsors."

Treg films a group of fairys shining and polishing gems to advertise their gem cleaning business.

Laurana

Laurana yawns a bit. A wagon next to her explodes. She glances around.
"I didn't do it," she says.

Darren
09-11-2007, 12:56 AM
Darren tries to take the shiny box that Treg is holding.

Laurana

Laura tries to tackle the shiny box. O_o

Darren
09-11-2007, 07:33 PM
Darren runs the 50 yards to the goal line- i mean, to the end of the village square.

Laurana

Laurana springs from the dark -- I mean, out of nowhere-- to then pounce on the unknown, obviously high-tech contraption. She misses Darren unfortunately, but nails the object. It tumbles with her to the ground, landing on its side.
"Ooh! What is it!? What is it?!" She cries out as she tilts her head to look into the lens. Impulsively, she licks the lens.
"Hmm..." She licks her lips. "... Tastes shiny!"
Picking it up and waving it in the air, she does a little dance. "Dance! Dance! It's mine! Mine! Nobody touch it! I saw it first! I--"
After another moment, she grows bored of it and sends it flying through the air. Where it stops... she hasn't thought that far yet.

Darren

Darren watches in amazement as the box flies through the air. He however is shocked as it comes crashing down...

Valancy
09-13-2007, 08:43 AM
...onto the head of Valancy, who is minding her own business as she passes through the Square.

She was minding her own business, that is. Now she looks around for Audrey or Abigail or one of those other crazies that roam about. She is looking for someone at whom to yell for this thing landing on her head.

Not finding anyone, she begins to examine this contraption. It appears to be silver and black, rather boxy. There is something red that keeps blinking at her from its top end. At least she thinks it's the top end.

Shrugging, she takes it with her into the forest. It must be some new kind of weapon. This works well until she encounters stronger beasties who are less than entranced by the blinking red light. She stumbles back to the village to heal up, and drops the strange box where she found it.

Laurana
09-18-2007, 10:30 PM
She invents a future sport by picking up the box again and crouching.
"448... 18... 10:29... HUT!"

With this, she throws the shiny box-thing off through the skies, at the Healer's Hut.

Darren
09-18-2007, 11:16 PM
...onto the head of Darren, this time, who is already to 5 HP. He then collapses with the smelly old potion he was about to drink.

Treg picks the camera back up and resumes filming as if nothing happened "we'll just edit that out before broadcasting"

Valancy
10-10-2007, 12:11 AM
Valancy sees Treg and jumps for joy, careful not to step on her tiny friend.

Shiqra
10-10-2007, 12:48 AM
Shiqra sees the tiny mouse with the shiny box and stops to investigate.

treg
10-13-2007, 08:13 PM
Treg films shiqra and valancy.

Shiqra
10-14-2007, 01:52 PM
Shiqra tries to pose with her sword and helm and look all warrior-like, but the effect is spoiled by a large horsefly that begins circling her head.
