Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

I ask if anyone wants a drink or something, trying to be a good host.
Chapter 25
'I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.' -Ron White
"Do you want anything to drink?" Edge asks, trying to be a good host.
"It's not a party." notes N1KF.
"What do you have?" asks Cathy, earning a glare.
--
Skull blinks his eyes open for the third time that... day? week? month? millenia?
It didn't matter.
Once his eyes had adjusted, he examined the room. It looked like a dinosaur had come charging through the lab. Shattered glass littered the floor. The walls were covered with ripped posters.
Alarms blared in the background.

I tell Cathy that we have apple juice, milk, and water. Despite the fact that I have successfully taught myself to make pancakes in a month with no idea what they were, I have not learned to make alcohol. And I haven't found any oranges or grapes. And the glowy berries taste terrible.
I then get her a cup of whatever she asks for. Now, I ask if anyone would be willing to help me forage, or if they have anything interesting to study. Time Flower-related objects or maybe something flammable out of which I can make a lighter or something would be appreciated.
Notes: Recently, I stopped putting Next Chapter, Full Chapter, Extra, and Previous Chapter under the tildes. Now, if you see them there, you can ask to see them, as if they were links that could be clicked on (which they would be if this was a real fan-fic)
Chapter 25 cont.
"Thanks." said Cathy nonchalantly, taking her glass of apple juice.
"Would anyone be willing to help me search?" Edge asks.
"For what?" asks Some as he and N1KF enter the room.
"Anything we can use."
"I'll go." says Sirmentio, standing up.
"Me too." yawns Some.
"Coming." Cathy puts down her glass.
"N1KF?" Edge turns in his direction.
"Nah. I'll relax for once."
--
Skull could feel the heat rising as he ran. He had stumbled at first, almost forgetting how to walk on foot. But now he ran faster than he ever had. The fire spread behind him, singeing his shirt. He turned a corner, only to see a wall.
--
"Hey guys! Come look at this!" yelled Sirmentio from across the field.
"What?" Edge ran over to his position, where Sirmentio was crouching and pointing at a orange speck on the ground.
Getting closer, he saw that this orange speck was actually an entire army of specks. He poked it with his finger. Some of it stuck to his hands.
Powder of some sort.

Extra

Right now, I will take back some of the powder to study. I just noticed how the flames sang Skullz' shirt.
Should be Singeing, is fixed now.
I'll remind you about the extra this time, but usually I won't. Watch carefully.
I have taken some back to study. (And I'm gonna finish the journal soon.)
... You sure you don't want to see the (very very short) extra?
Chapter 25 cont.
Edge examined it closely. He hadn't gotten very far. It was sticky when wet, and it burned almost explosively.
"Edge? Are you in there?" called a voice from the lobby.
"I'll be out in a second."
--
Skull glanced up. The ceiling had caved in. He might have some hope, after all.
He ran forward, jumped, and spread out his wings.
~~
Sure, I'll read the extra. I'm pretty sure gunpowder is black. I think I'll try diluting some in water and lighting it on fire. And are you going in the direction of the Maxiumum Ride series with skullz' character? Or is this something different? BTW, I will underline my character's next action from now on so you don't have to sift through them all.
Notes: You read Maximum Ride? That was an awesome book. But no, I have something planned for everyone... Teehee.
More notes: Careful to stay in character! You can't react to something you saw in the extra...
Chapter 25 Extra
N1KF sat down and waited until they left. When their noise faded out, he got out of his seat, accidentally knocking it over. Freezing to make sure nobody had heard him, he slowly put his chair upright.
N1KF walked into the basement. Flipping on the light, he felt the wall. His hand touched upon a ridge. Pulling hard, the panel came loose. N1KF replaced the panel before disappearing inside.
~~
Even more notes: This happened right after we left, but before you returned. N1KF returned to the base long before we got back. Another extra might appear soon... Hmmm...
Chapter 25 cont.
Edge dropped it into a pitcher of water, then lit it on fire. It flared up for just a moment, then sizzled as the water put it out.
--
Skull had escaped the fire and the lab, all at once. He watched the lab carefully from the sky, not sure what to expect. Out of nowhere, he felt himself being crushed into something the size of a speck.

Im kinda confused but this sounds cool. How can I join the adventure?
Notice: If you are going to come to this forum game often, you may join simply by asking. However, I have noticed several people posting once or twice and then forgetting all about this. If you are one of these people, I will make you a kind of guest character; you will be a side character instead of a main one.
I put down my experiment for lunch. At the table (or wherever you have us eating), I ask if anyone has seen N1KF. If you want, yamma, you can randomly appear somewhere pop up out of nowhere for the occasional adventure or update on your status quo. For the record, I am trying to help Rocktheworld313 run this as much as I can. I'm like Different55 or TakoMan02 only exclusively within this topic and much more active.

Sounds good! Will it be kinda like skullz randomly popping up?
No, he's running on autopilot because he created a character and never returned. If you intend to play a lot, create a party character. I will keep track of characters that pop up occasionally but aren't a major story character. Yours seems like it would be a regular character with a destiny, a secret, and/or a well-defined personality. Edit to my action: I don't ask about N1KF.
Notes: Here's the character list; did it for you.
Active characters
Edge
Cathy; aka me
Autopilot
Skull
Sirmentio
N1KF
Some
Storyline Members (Abandoned much?)
Olivia (Taken a nasty turn in the original thread. Or maybe N1KF just ran out of ideas.)
AP
Sivid
Frosty
Possible Temporary Members
Yamma
More notes: Anything below the tildes, you can ask to see. Don't forget.
Chapter 25 cont.
Edge took a seat as everyone else was almost done eating.
"What have you been doing?" Sirmentio spoke up.
"That powder..." said Edge, looking down at his plate.
"There's not much you can do about it." N1KF responded bluntly.
--
Skull woke up in a sterile room. He sighed. He had almost made it out.
Nobody was with him. Maybe...?
He pushed open the door.

I'll look at the references. Actually, what is that?
I proceed to ask N1KF what he meant.
The storyline characters stayed with the original player. I have a few surprises of my own in the journal.
I think that I will just give you the gist of my idea. See, Edge and Some lived in the village. Some dragged me off to the base and I had to forage for food. I discovered some nifty little tricks which I will use later to throw in a monkey wrench. I complained about life in the village a lot. I found a sand source with which I made glass, and those glowberries out of which I made a lighting system. I made a telescope ring after perfecting ironworks and glassworks. This is just one of the tricks up my sleeve, so to speak. I have nothing else planned except for the occasional cool thing. Like a pocket light or something. Anyway, carry on.
Reference Quiz
PM me the answers. +rep for every one right.

Er, I have no idea. And for the record, I never read Maximum Ride. I couldn't obtain a copy. I just knew what it was vaguely about. I have read almost every other good book series except for Twilight.
Chapter coming soon. Sorry guys.
is the Time Flower plot aborted here to be continued by N1KF in his thread? It should. Our thread needs its own plot, since the characters are different. I am simply discussing this because I want to be important to something.
No Time Flower plot here. But... um... complete lack of plot may be a problem. Ideas, anyone?
I thought you had a fate planned for everyone. Anyway, I think we should... hang on. I'll PM you it because nobody else can know. Expect a PM when I actually have an idea... Everyone else should PM too.
Sorry guys, not doing great. Should be continuing the story in a couple days.
