Hmm...next update predictions in sigs...

Celtic Fury - Update within the next six months...

That wouldn't go over so well with a few of my readers. I think I'll stick with what I have. :D

...and on the topic of your update: POST IT!!! :goodjob:
 
Thing is, I write my updates on the fly.

As in now.

The same day, while All advisors are hiding behind various buildings

Nwahs: FOR FREEDOM!
Soldier: Sir, uh... *whisper*
Nwahs: Okay, from the top.

FOR LIMITED FREEDOM AND TYRRANOUS GOVERNMENT!

Soldier: Much better. Now, we fight?
Strijder: No, look! See those catapults?
Nwahs: Whoa, what? Who said that? And why is there a bear here?
Strijder: Dancing, talking bear, sarge.
Nwahs: Oh, that makes MUCH more sense. What in the name of Sid, SouthernKing and any three foreign deities of your choice are you doing here?
Strijder: I'm not at liberty to say, sarge.
Nwahs: And what if I ordered you to tell me?
Strijder: You wouldn't believe me, sarge. Trust me.
Nwahs: Well, at least tell me what in the blazes is significant about the catapults.
Strijder: They're advancing. They're weak. Cut them to pieces. Need I say more?
Nwahs: Well, alright then.

In the Narrators' Room:
veBear: And you're expecting me to believe that's actually how it happened?
NinjaCow: Pretty much, yeah.
veBear: And explain to me again the answers to the questions I asked?
Choxorn: And those would be?
veBear: What the heck am I doing here? Where is here? And... oh, yeah. Who in the blazes are you two?
Choxorn: In no particular order: The Narrators, the Narrators' Room, and listening to us answer your questions.
veBear: This is a dream, right?
Choxorn: Nope. A better way to put it would be that everything else was.
veBear: Um... what???
NinjaCow: I'll handle it, Choxorn. Let me put it this way: you, and all the advisors, and everyone else in your city are characters. In a story.
veBear: So you mean this is a metaphor?
NinjaCow: No. Not metaphorically. Really.
veBear: So, we don't actually exist?
NinjaCow: Well, that's the complicated bit.
veBear: I didn't see that coming... everything I've ever known turns out to be the product of somebody's imagination, and there are complications? I'm shocked.
NinjaCow: The complications, though, are that... you and your friends do appear to exist. And we managed to get you here through willpower. And you actually turned up.
veBear: Very nice. What's your point?
NinjaCow: The bloke who's writing this story, he named all the characters after other people.
Choxorn: Even us.
veBear: Wait, so that means you two are characters as well... help, this is getting a bit too meta.
NinjaCow: You're the sanest of your people. That's why we brought you here. We need you to go back there. Try and get this story... back on the right path.
Choxorn: And this meeting never happened.
veBear: I don't get it, but I'll have a go.
Choxorn: You'll know what to do when you need to. Trust us..

veBear vanishes, and reappears in the real world.

Choxorn: Well, this is going to be fun to watch.
NinjaCow: I love messing with people's heads.
Choxorn: Yeah, me too.

*Cough* Evening. Got space for a lurker who would like to be Minister of Entertainment? (I.e. I pop up when you research stuff like drama or build entertainment-related structures.)
 
Sure, thanks for asking :)

Bad news guys... my insanity is about to fade away, and only way to cure this is by having a new update within this week... please help me, I don't want to grow sane again :(
Click to expand...

I know exactly how you feel. I thought I was losing my insanity once, and I was sad. :(

:p
 
Well, that was the plan. :)

Can't have people going sane in this thread! ;)
 
As a person who read the previous parts of the story in one afternoon, I now realize the amount of time it takes Olaf to update. :p
 
Hey, I was sick! :p

Seriously, though, I will try to update very soon, things just got in the way for a while.
 
Dang it Olaf, for a second there I thought, for one glimmer of a second, that there was an update! Then I thought, oh wait this story never gets updated.
 
640 AD

Choxorn: No, we should kidnap Yoshiegg next!
NinjaCow: Red Spy is the obvious choice! He's as sane as the next man!
Choxorn: The next man is a talking bear, Ninja.*
NinjaCow: Damn, you're right. Still, I want to do this my way!
Choxorn (T): Well, good luck. Don't count on my help!
NinjaCow (O): Trust me. I won't.

Meanwhile...

Red Spy (C): And so, I propose a toast to the brave fighters who helped us win the battle!
Nwahs [now a Commander] (E): Well, that rules out all the advisors, then...
METY (D): I'm sorry, I didn't hear that properly?
Commander Nwahs (E): [quails under METY's furious stare] Er, nothing?
METY (D): Good.
Lokki (P): (to Red Spy) Here, Red Spy. You've had your go, I'll try and get their attention again now. (loudly) HEAR YE, hear ye!
veBear (L): We're hearing ye, kid.
Lokki (P): Hmph. Just because I'm new. Anyway, our soldiers were fearless on the field of battle...
*coughs*
... and so I raise a toast to our new commander, Nwahs, and sergeant major, Strijder the Bear.
All: To our new comander, Nwahs, and sergeant major, Strijder the Bear!
Olaf (T): Original...

...

NinjaCow (O): How interesting. Things swing my way already...

*Apologies to Terry Pratchett.

I'm not saying :p, but if you can work it out, it's worth a cookie :c5trade:

I know; I'm running out of colours. All I have left are these:
light blue
pale turquoise
pale green, which is what I used
lemon chiffon, which is even worse
white, ditto
plum, except I switched Ninjacow to that
sandy brown, except that's pretty much the same as both the other orange colours. Still, Ii suppose that could work.
Pink...
Wheat...
indigo, which I only just noticed...
I guess I'll switch Lokki to indigo. You're right, it is kinda hard to read.
 
narraraotor/not narrarator versions of them?
 
Nope. Besides, everyone in the update has one, and eventually every character's getting them. It's plot-related.
