Story Thread #1

[Hiram Sedai]

Hello everybody. By now you know that I don’t usually create my own threads. But this time I would like to share a technique that I learned on another messageboard. It’s called the Story Thread.
Basically, one person starts a story and everyone contributes to that story. You simply reply to whatever the other person wrote and add to the story. This is for everyone to have fun with. There doesn’t need to be any exclusive roleplaying here. You don’t have to be humorous or serious. You can take the story in any direction you feel comfortable with. Just have fun!!

The rules for the story are the same rules that the Iron Works Message Board has. No cursing and personal attacks. When the thread is locked up after the thread count gets near 150, I will gather up all of the replies and put them into a readable story. Trust me, it grows on you after a while and you’d be surprised at how the story can change and how imaginative people can be.

So without further ado, here is the start of our story:
__________________________________________________ _________________
Once upon a time, there was a young lad who…the young lad got drunk in a bar, and beaten senseless in a directionless fight to lifeless
he was thrown out by two brutes carrying on the shoulders. they dumpped him in the darkest corner of street. no one knows why this lad is so young and fallenBut maybe it had something to do with the crumpled bag of cheetos clutched in the boys right hand. The orange delights spilling to the gravely surface under his still body.
The cheesy aroma steaming in the frigid cold air attracted a wandering hobo who waddled over the the foil packet with a smile of delight on his enormous face. The orange stained teeth showing under his scraggly beard showed the use of years of cheeto addiction.
The hobo wobbled off on stumpy legs with the bag of cheesy surprises tucked into his pocket.

Tucked nicely away in his cardboard box he called a home in a dark, wet back-alley, the hobo thought himself quite safe, and removed the orange delights from his pocket, ready to feast like a king.
Then, there was a knock at his door-flap. He looked out to see 4 men, dressed in black and wearing shades, pointing guns at the poor man. The hobo was frozen stiff from shock at this sight, and merely trembled in quietness.
"Give us the bag, old man...or you will surely suffer our wrath!"
"What have I to live for, except this bag of joy?!"

The old man muttered. Not satisfied, the four men opened fire on the poor hobo, putting him out of his misery.

"Let's get this back to the boss, before somebody comes looking for it!"

With that, they made their way back to the secret hide-out

Unaware of the fact that their hideout was being watched by Government agents.

Listening devices had been set up and every word these mysterious men in black suits said was being recorded. The agents were only awaiting the right moment to spring their trap and capture these thugs along with their ill-gotten treasure...

...oh and what a fine treasure it was.
Those delectable crunchy cheetos just waiting in a bag full of goodies all ready to be wholeheartedly gobbled down as a giant might swallow the stay puffed marshmellow man.
What was the big story behind these orange balls of heavenly delight?

the treasure was also known as the ill gotten booty or ill booten gotty. A small furry fellow stepped from the shadows and quietly followed the agents because he had more than a passing interest in the cheesy splendor in a bag. He knew that if he could only...

As four men walk out of the ally, up ahead came one man in long black jacket. With fine polished italian styled boots, a pair of sun glasses.

The man walked quietly, closing in the distance, as the four men walked past the man in black. the air seemed to slowed its floating, the man in black (slow motion) put his hand in belt, and with a firm pull, took out a shot gun. while at the same time, the four assasin reacted instinctively. Four men went for four different directions, rolling and taking out their guns...

the man in black (still slow motion) put the trigger in right hand, and held the shotgun in left hand, aimed at one of the gun men. before the unfortunate assasin could react, the man in black fired. a tremendous burst of bullets made a mess on the gunman's body. the other three went on firing reactively, three automatic MF47 pumped 6,000 bullets in the blink of an eye. As each bullet rushing toward the man in black, meaning to take out his life mercilessly, the man in black went into a frenzy motion, his arms and body moved like in a blur.

(slow motion again)
one bullet flew toward the man in black's right shoulder, the man lean backwards, dodged the first bullet. then lowered his left shoulder as another bullet flying pass by, then lean backwards furthur as more and more bullet flying by dangerously close...

One of the gunman eyes widened in surprise, but it was all he could do to make a gaging sound as the man in black (laying on his back) dumpped dozens of shotgun bullet into him

Two down, two left, the man in black kicked dirt, and went flying backwards. still in air, he fired once to one gunman in front of him, the bullets got the man in the knees, who made a painful scream, and dropped to the floor. the other gunman helplessly aimed at flying-backwards the man in black, every one of his bullets hit nothing but air. As the man in black flew pass him by, the man in black easily flipped his shotgun outwards, "BOOM" the impact blew away the still shooting gunman several feet apart.

the man in black landed on the ground gracefully, and walked casually toward the last gunman, whose knees are severely broken by the shotgun fire.

without giving a second look, the man in black fired. then bend over and picked up the bag.

"I got the yellow bag." the man in black said to a watch thing on his hand

Came a woman's voice "yellow bag?? Neo, it is supposed to be red!"

"What? you sure?? I just got the yellow bag from four dogs." the man replied impatiently

"Oh man, you mean this is not Los Angles?" the woman said frustratingly

"Trinity?"

...and then Minnie Pearl showed up and said How dee!! Her price tag was waiving from her hat and she was ready for some dancing. She grabbed the hand of...

[Cerek the Barbaric]

Neo swinging him around in a wild "dosey-do". Neo tried to pull away from this weird woman who only stopped "promenading" him up and down the alley long enough to plant several "lip-smackers" on him.

Neo finally manages to tear himself out of Minnie's arms. As he wipes the drool from his chin, he notices a small boy approaching from the shadows. He looks closer and his eyes widen in shock and surprise. This is no boy, but some fur-covered creature that is almost as round as he is tall.

Holding Minnie off with one hand, Neo tries to peer through the shadows to get a better look at the creature's face. As he does, a pendant hanging around the creatures neck begins to glow with a reddish hue. Neo and Minnie are both entranced by this magical little fellow, who they now view as a trusted friend.

Realizing his pendant has done it's job, Regis approaches Neo.
"Oh thank you for finding my Cheeto's. I have been ever so worried about them."
Neo hands over the golden treasure happily.

Regis turns and heads back into the shadows. Activating a newly acquired ring, he opens a Dimensional Door and steps back into the comfort of his bedroom in Calimport.
