Event END

[The intercom clicks on to the sound of a sad, distressed little mole.]

B-but Spring Break is supposed to last all week...!

Yes, well, just look at it this way, Fluffums. [There is a gentle pause, and then:] You're too old for Spring Break anyway.

[And then, to the quiet yet shrill sound of a high-pitched wail, the speaker addresses the ship.]

Greetings, residents of the Thor! As you have no doubt noticed by now, the party has cleaned itself up and normality has been achieved. You're welcome.

It seems our destination this month is the planet Gladigutschutesopoly.

[In the background, a piping voice can be heard saying, "Gesundheit!"]

...As always, shuttles will begin running down to the planet tomorrow. Have fun, if you're into that sort of thing.

[And with that, the feed clicks off.]

OOC Info

The Drive Event may be officially finished, but, as always, don't let that stop you from backtagging!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say about the planet Gladigutschutesopoly:
Gladigutschutesopoly: The planet with a name so long, tourists can win a gamma toaster for saying it properly! Also known as Gladis for short. If you like winning fabulous prizes, no matter how useless, then this planet is the JACKPOT.

The natives of Gladis are a joyful, thrill-loving people who can't live without constant, clean competition. And we mean this in the most literal sense: After a few days without playing any sort of games, they will deflate like balloons into a sad mess of floppy alien skin. To prevent that from happening, they've set up a culture that revolves around playing games all day, every day! Want to go get a milkshake? Survive one minute riding a bucking bronco, and you'll be rewarded with a Legendairy Strawberry Shake! Interested in buying some new clothes? Well, you can either take the shirt you were just trying on, or you can trade it in for the mystery garment behind door number 2! Repeat for everything else you want to do here. The streets are made of giant, brightly-colored squares like a giant game board, and even so much as walking down it will get you ambushed with people who want to play card games or hand out raffle prizes.

Conversely, cheating and bad sportsmanship will get the natives' blood boiling and cause them to bloat up like giant pufferfish, which takes them from hours to weeks to recover from. This is considered a major crime, and anyone caught doing it will go directly to Jail. They will not pass Go. They will not collect 200 arcade tokens. But they'll be out as soon as they roll doubles.

Gladigutschutesopoly stats:
Suns: One white, though the natives are convinced it's a giant spotlight.
Moons: Two, with a peculiar arrangement of craters on each.
Sky color: Shades of white and gold, with lots of balloons.
Day length: 20 rolls of the dice.
Climate: Extremely variable. The weather station invites you to cast your predictions!
Largest city: Lottera, which proudly calls itself The Largest Studio Audience In The Universe.
Chief attractions: The Gladympic Torch, which holds the everlasting spirit of their games! Despite the name, though, it carries no flame. Instead, it's more like a hose that's spraying a perpetual fountain of green slime.
Places to avoid: Fortune Street, where investors come to buy and sell stocks using the planet's currency, arcade tokens.

Miscellaneous announcements!
× April has come and gone, so if you haven't already, please be sure to reply to the Activity Check!

× Don't forget to check out the May promotions & room upgrades post if you want your character to get a raise or to change rooms! We'll be updating the room list tomorrow to reflect the comments there before...

× Missions! Barring unforeseen emergencies, we'll be posting missions tomorrow (Wednesday, May 1st) at the usual time of Late o'Clock, so keep an eye out for those!

That's all we've got for now. Cheers, and have fun on the planet! o/

I'm horrible but when I saw this I couldn't help but think: Does that make Pegasus the Queen?
note_atem: (well how about that)

[personal profile] note_atem 2013-05-01 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaiba is second best so that makes him Queen. Pegasus can be the jester
mister_foppish: (☆ Destroy me ☆)

[personal profile] mister_foppish 2013-05-01 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Rude. But I guess it'd be amusing to see Kaiba in a dress.
note_atem: (let me tell you this)

[personal profile] note_atem 2013-05-01 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not like Kaiba wants to be Queen either. His torment is amusing.
mister_foppish: (☆ Your turn Yugi-boy ☆)

[personal profile] mister_foppish 2013-05-01 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Well if I'm the jester then you have to hear all my bad jokes. And I suppose seeing him tormented isnt a bad thing.
note_atem: (Do you understand nothing?!)

[personal profile] note_atem 2013-05-01 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
For the last time the toon jokes aren't funny!!!1!
mister_foppish: (☆ Doesn't feel that bad ☆)

[personal profile] mister_foppish 2013-05-01 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Going to laugh at my own jokes more than you will!
