Beginning of Day Five
The town awoke to find themselves in a strangely familiar place. They quickly recognized it as the place they had been to a few days ago, the place with all the weird glowy portals and random space battles.
They noticed a few big differences, though.
Difference the first: There were a lot more portals. They could easily count 25 floating around in the sky, way more than there were a few days ago. The portals also seemed to be lasting longer before fizzling back out of existence again. This had the effect of making this strange place glow much more than it did the last time, and it was starting to make the whole place look like they'd taken a little bit too many drugs.
They also noticed that they were standing on a bit of ground that had decided that staying grounded was too mainstream and floated up into the air. A bunch of other bits of ground had evidently agreed, as they were in a sea of floating islands. Hopefully, the one they were standing on wouldn't decide that floating was now too mainstream and go crashing back to Earth.
One of them decided to look over the edge of the island and see how far down the ground was.
Answer: So far down that they couldn't see it, as there were a bunch of clouds in the way. Also, there were a few ships in the way, fighting apparently another epic space battle, only at ground level. These ones didn't appear to be of the Space Dolphins or Sharks, though; in fact, they looked like a strange assortment of ships that might possibly be from science fiction movies. A few looked like Imperial Star Destroyers, a few looked like random anime giant robots (and even looked cartoonish!), and one was almost certainly half the USS Enterprise and half that giant alien ship from Independence Day, minus the monument-destroying laser beam.
The town pondered if some of those portals might somehow be going to random fictional universes. The question was quickly answered yes, as they soon ran into, on the same island as them, a couple of random good guys and bad guys fighting, most from things that occurred in the early 2100's or late 2000's, which they would have been more familiar with. A few older ones, that they couldn't immediately name.
Deciding not to get involved with good guys and bad guys fighting as far as the eye could see, they turned around and wondered why there were no explosions as far as the eye could see.
They didn't find any explosions, but they did find a giant bomb in the middle of the island. Several people, some not fictional, some fictional, were trying to disarm it. One of them, who was instantly recognized as
Batman by the townies, explained that someone had set them up the bomb, and the whole island was going to blow up if they didn't do something about it.
He said that they might be able to disarm the bomb if 1 person could mess with some things on the side while 32 people stood around in a perfect circle of MAGIC +5 BONUS TO CONCENTRATION AND BOMB DISARMING SKILLS that had been created by
The Nameless Omnicolored Wizard/Mage/Porn Star and powered by the combined awesomeness of
Chuck Norris, Samuel L. Jackson, and
The World's Largest French Fry. Luckily, the arrival of the townies meant there were now 33 people here!
Question was, who would disarm the bomb?
It would have to be one of the 21 townies, as the other 12 people were too important to risk disarming it themselves. Yes, even
Those Two Background Guys who don't have names and
Sir-Not-Appearing-In-This-Film.
They'd vote on it. They'd have to hurry, as that space battle was getting closer by the minute.
It is now DAY FIVE. It will end in: [TIMER="5/3/2013 1:00 AM PDT"]Day Five Over[/TIMER]
Hazard a guess I shall, methought when I read yonder story, that choxorn had rigged the bomb to explode anywaye, and so kille ye townie whom'd be tryinge to deffuse it.
