Dezil was walking through the back hallways to avoid the teeming throngs of fans outside. It was madness out there, with all the hit bands and new indie groups, you could get killed just trying to use a restroom if you were famous. Heck, if dezil showed up from nowhere after vanishing for so long, he might get killed just by going out there...

As Dezil walked, he realized he was pretty thirsty. Luckily, he noticed a convienient vending machine right there. He pulled out a doller and put it in, then hit the button for Dr. Pepper. <Ahh, the Elixer of life...> He mentally joked, but then noticed that nothing was happening. He grumbled and hit the buttone agian, but the machine seemed to have eaten his money.

"Son of a..." He muttered, and as he was about to grab another dollar bill, the screen showing money payed started scrolling words. He leaned down and read, "Hah, all your dollars are belong to us!", he muttered, "Damn crackers, keeping me from sweet, caffinated goodness. I'll take care of this..." he muttered, and pulled out a device. He pressed one small end in where the key was supposed to go to open the front, then pressed a button. There was a loud *POP*, and a lfash of light followed by the smell of burnt O-Zone, and the front slid open. Dezil didn't notice it, but the soda machine scrolled, "I wish you hadn't done that Dave..." Dezil grabbed out his Dr. Pepper, and prepared to walk away in triumph, when the soda machine turned and shot sodas at him. "WHAT THE, IT'S MOVING?!" Dezil shouted as the machine slowly rolled after him, shooting soda bottles. Dezil dodged around the slow machine and pulled the plug, but it kept going, shooting a stream of sodas and spraying the halls. He pulled out another gadget and looked at the machine, noting a slot. He stabbed it into the slot, and after a few seconds of buzzing from the device, the Mad Soda Machine stopped moving. Dezil looked and said, "Alright, those crackers are getting good at hacking stuff, but don't mess with the best!" He struck a corny pose, the noticed no one was there anyway, so he stopped. "Well, I'm not cleaning this up..." he said, so he started walking the ohter way, acting innocent.

The not-very-well-disguised Thumpman walked into a hallway, so excited that he forgot about Johnny (who was probably following him anyways). What he saw was a spectacle he couldn't believe.

"Now, who'd leave a ton of free soda lying around here?" he said as he picked up a bottle of root beer. He chugged it down, and tossed the empty bottle into a trachcan, so happy that he didn't notice the mess or the broken soda machine.

He turned the corner, and saw a familiar figure walking away. "Hey, Dezil! Wait up!" he called out, hoping his friend would hear him.

Dante · 02-27-2004, 12:46 AM

Johnny studied the wreckage.

Odd... What happened here? It looks as though the soda machines simultaneously rose up in revolt against the human race, whereupon a swarm of fangirls wielding Dr. Pepper came and beat the demonic machines back...

He shook his head.

Nah.

Then he saw Thumpman running ahead, and decided to catch up.

Forever Zero · 02-27-2004, 12:47 AM

Dezil jumped and said, "The machine attacked me, I swear!" The he turned around and said, "Blyr? Hey, your here! How's everything going with the band and with life? I haven;t heard much since I left honestly..."

Mr. Viewtiful · 02-27-2004, 08:51 AM

Is it true? Is Dezil sick of me, like Ripel said? Thumpman sighed.

"I've been out of it for a while, too, because Ripel broke up the band..." and he told Dezil his story, which would save Mr. V a lot of typing because you can just go back to the flashback Mr. V wrote, but imagine it from a 1st-person point of view.

A couple minutes later...

"...and if it wasn't for this talented drummer over here," Thumpman said, nodding at Johnny, "I would still be sunken in depression back at the hangar. What have you been up to lately?"

Dante · 02-27-2004, 09:08 AM

Johnny tipped his hat at the mention of his name, then leaned closer in, trying not to make his eavesdropping so obvious.

"So that's what happened to them..." he murmured.

Forever Zero · 02-27-2004, 03:18 PM

Dezil absent mindedly nodded and waved at the drummer, but he said, "Ripel left the band? And he convinced the others to leave? Why that backstabber... If I had known he would pull something like that, I wouldn't have left. I figured the band would be okay for a bit because of, err, other projects I had to work on. No need to look suspicious, you know I've always loved to tinker with gadgets, well you'll get to see my greatest invention tonight! Errm, ahem, so do you still want Techmasta' D back in the band, even after I ended up leaving you in a rough spot?" Dezil sort of finished up lamely, ashamed that he had thought the band would be okay, and everything hit the fan shortly after he left.

OOC: I don't feel like reading. What's going on?

Forever Zero · 02-27-2004, 03:22 PM

OOC: Well, I haven't been paying attention to everyone, but some of the people have gotten in fights with the crazed vending machines so far but not a ton, and some people are just going about their buisness, and everyone is sort of scattered doing their thing. My guy just met up with Mr. V and Dante's guys, so we are all about to form back into a band, and while Dezil fought and beat one of the machines, he hasn't figured out what they are yet, just thought it was some strange joke.

ooc: I'm at the concert trying to get a band together. WeiBer showed off his l337 5|<1llz and stuper joined. Open for more members. We need a drummer, a guitarist, and a keyboardist or such.

WeiBer mulled around, his earlier performance had attracted a large crowd of musicians. But their skill wasn't what he was looking for. Most of them were alright but he needed prodigies. Pat, the accordian player he had found out was really good. But a two man band wouldn't cut it.

He weaved his way through the crowd and suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. He checked to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. When he looked back it was still there staring him in the face. Thumpman was weaving his way through the crowds of musicians.
So he's back is he? I wonder if we could interest him...

He ran up to the star and cut him off. "So what're you doing here?" he said as if he had known him for a long time, trying not to draw attention to the stars presence.
