I mean I'd be asking you to edit your post and correct your spelling, grammar, and un-capitalized first words. But since I said that you didn’t need to post full sentences, I’m not going to gripe about incorrectly written sentences, as long as they’re readable enough I know what you’re saying.
 

Treecko's Awesomeness

Treecko is claimed!
Alright, I'm going to try something new. 10 points to anyone who can guess who she is based off of.

Ooh! I know! Cassie from Animorphs! I love those books.

Whoop Whoop!

I read the Animorph serie a looooooooooong time ago. I loved it! Even though the books are way to short, imo.

Okay… it’s time for

Scenario Challenge 1

But first a couple things;
Since there are only three of you, I will be treating you as a single team, but scoring you individually. Bonus points will be available in each round, so don’t get discouraged if it looks like you’re falling behind.

Introducing your team:
* Adalricus - Athletic high school nerd, Riley
* Treecko’s Awesomeness - Shut-in high school fan boy, Zach
* Grassmaster411 - Compassionate veterinarian and ecologist, Cassie

Scenario Challenge 1 - A Plan for Survival…

This challenge ends on the 7th.

It is worth up to 5 points, and 2 bonus points.

Each team member should provide a unique answer (posted in this thread) to the challenge based on what they know about their teammates’ in-game characters. You may write, sketch, comic, sprite comic, or whatever you need to do, to get your idea across.

Please try to keep things PG-13

Setting:
Small-town in the USA, summer - You and your teammates came into town for some summer time relaxation. The town is somewhat remote, being several hundred miles from the nearest City. Cell phone signal is spotty at best, but that just means there’s less chance for drama or work to get in the way of your vacation, only…

The Threat:
Lately people and appliances have begun to spontaneously combust. The incidents are ruled accidental deaths or mechanical malfunctions (Madge was old and infirm, Devin was a heavy smoker and drinker, that coffee maker never did work that well…), until the local grocery store clerk erupts into flames in front of several witnesses. Who will be next?

The Challenge:
Come up with a plan for survival involving all three members of you team.

Bonus Points:
* Creativity
The most creative plan will earn a bonus point.

* Plans that take into account what else may combust:
Cars, telephone wires, ect…

Wow.. Credit to me for discovering this post today, the 6th. lol

I think it is a bit too late for me, seeing that it is Midnight. which means, "today" is actually "Tomorrow" since I have not gone to sleep yet, and it is over 00:00. (Why am I still up?)

Well then.. I shall start.. "Tomorrow" , which is still the 6th. lol. Besides, It is not the end of the world if I miss out on one challenge, is it?

Alright, here I go. Sorry for the wait, I had a 3 page essay for my college course. Not sure how long of a response you wanted, but this seems like a decent enough plan for the situation.

Cassie
Small-Town USA

Cassie had witnessed the horrifying sight of the grocery store clerk catching on fire. She screamed and tried to call 911, but she had no cell phone coverage.

After joining with her team members, she had calmed down some, but her hands were still shaky. She tried to think straight, but her mind was racing.

"We need water". She said. "Lots, and lots of water. A lake, or a river, or a big pond or something! And we need to get away from anything that plus in. Things that run on.....microchips or something. My point is we need to avoid outlets and electricity".

"Maybe, maybe find a vacant barn or, or a log cabin. Maybe those places would be best. Failing that, maybe we could make some kind of shelter in the woods. And we need things that put out fires, thing like fire blankets, extinguishers, and, and just fire proof stuff."

Trying to create something like that, then:

A good vacation-spot in a small town in USA.

Riley had heard of the phenomenon called spontainous Combustion, but had never witnessed it. Though, he was a bit scared it might happen to him. then, one day, he witnessed as the cute girl in the Coffe-Shop just burst into flames.
It took him a few moments to precieve the situation, but then, he quickly grabbed the coat of an old lady from the table next to him, and tried to put out the flames. He did not succeed in saving the poor womans life, and her death-screams were pretty traumatic for him.

It happened again, in a store some days later when Riley was doing grocery-shopping for his parents. There, he met a girl named Cassie. She looked like she was about to break down, yet, she managed to somehow think straight, and come up with a plan involving Water. "What is going on? What the *Beep* is happening?"

Then an idea began to shape in Rileys head. "What if we soaked ourselves? Fire can't catch on if we're all soaking wet!"

(I hope I did this right, and correct me if I did anything wrong, please)

Hey, sorry for being so late. I kinda took a hiatus from Serebii.


Anyway, this looks like a fun RP. I'll enjoy watching it.



I haven't seen any paranormal news lately...Anyone else find something?

^ I have that movie.

And now... Riley's Science-Show!
*Corrects glasses* They all claim to have seen a white Owl, kind of like a warning that says: "Hey, hey guy! Yeah you. You'll be taken soon..." . ;164;

Question 2:

In the black and white silent film Nosferatu, (which was based on the novel Dracula), which character actually had the power to kill the vampire?

Only a woman, pure of heart could distract him. Which results in the vampire drinking her blood and forgetting about the upcmoming day,

Correct Again...

I would also have accepted Nina/Mina due to the films history. The DVD I have uses the name Nina, and some ignorant editor decided to color correct the film destroying the tinted scenes... sigh.
