	Alright, guys! As a way to get things underway, I've devised a little writing activity of sorts. Here's the pitch: We'll each take turns writing a collaborative piece about our clans fictional backstory and history. Each of us will write round-robin style until we decide it's finished. The story can be comedic, dark, quest, shipping - anything - so long as it pertains to Pokémon and the "formation/history" of the Wordsmen. I've placed each of our names in a randomizer to select the order of submissions (so it maintains linearity, coherence, and plot). The order is as follows: Shiny Mawile Lizz Blazing Tempest VarietyBlack ------------------- Come try your hand at the Monotype Challenge!

Shiny It's pronounced 'Sheeny' (moderator) PokéFiction total posts: 2875 since: Feb 2006	Mar 19, 13 at 5:00pm ^ re: ► The Wordsmen ◄ {Chapter 1}{Featured Piece: Cinders & Ash}{9/18}
	So I'm starting right? Okay, here goes. I chose a Dungeons and Dragons theme and included a lot more fourth wall breaking than originally intended. Feel free to stray away from this style a bit if you want. The Creator sat in his throne and pondered. His idea was interesting, but could he pull it off? He stood up and walked down the spotless hallways of his palace, inhabited only by himself and his servants. He was lonely in his paradise. He wished to show its wonders to the other bright and shining minds of the world. That was why he decided to go ahead with the idea. He picked up his favourite pen, the Pen of the Wordsman. It was an heirloom from the Creator's ancestors, forged in the fires of an active volcano. It carried deep blue ink, which was extracted from the largest Octillery ever found. This pen was rumoured to be mightier than any sword. This never made much sense to anyone. After all, it was just a pen. When asked about it, the Creator would merely smile and insist that it made perfect sense. With the Pen of the Wordsman, the Creator wrote ten invitations to his banquet. However, to get to the Creator's palace in the lands of Umbra, the invited parties would have to venture across dangerous lands, battling beasts and meeting the foulest creatures known to humankind. It was a test. Only those who successfully arrive at the palace with their lives intact would be included in the Creator's plan. At the banquet, he would tell the surviving adventurers everything. He would reveal his idea and what he hoped to achieve with it. Wasting little time, he hastily sent he servants to deliver the invitations. Five people didn't bother to read their invitations. Their loss. Rabla the Indecisive received his invitation, but nobody knows if his intends to embark on the quest. Only time will tell. The first person to receive an invitation and genuinely show interest was Lizz the Lovely, Conquerer of the Pokéfiction Hall of Fame and Ruler of the Kataya Region. Her invitation was delivered by one of the Creator's servants, a Gallade with fountain pens for arms. Eager to meet the Creator, she picked up her trusty mace, which gave her plus one on all attack stats. She was ready for whatever evil beings she might encounter on her long, perilous journey. She then began her Great Migration to Umbra. See what I did there? The next person to venture to the Creator's palace was Mawile the Mawkish. He was given an invitation by a Escavalier with fountain pens instead of his blade thingies. Nobody ever accused Mawile of actually being mawkish; his name just sounds better like that. He was the only Pokémon to be invited to the banquet. Everyone else was a human warrior. He had this weird thing coming out of the back of his head, a weird black thing with teeth. You've all played Pokémon. you know what I'm talking about. Now where was I? Oh yeah, Mawile went on the journey too. He was curious enough about the Creator's idea to risk his life just to hear it. That's a bit scary. Not long after these two adventurers began their journeys, a third adventurer read his invitation. Shiny the Shiny was enjoying a light breakfast of cereal and lightbulbs when he was given his invitation by an Aipom with a fountain pen instead of a tail. He stood up, showing off his resplendent body. He was glowing... literally. Every inch of his skin was shining. That's what made him Shiny the Shiny, I suppose. He picked up his signature weapon, a trident which also glowed. Shiny walked out of his house, which oddly enough glowed in the dark, and began his journey. Some people take their names far too seriously. Finally, there was Tempest the Blazing, who was given an invitation by an Arbok with a pen instead of a tongue. He had plans to take part in a Yahtzee tournament to the death, but he was so intrigued by his invitation that he cancelled all his plans. He wanted to get to the Creator's palace as soon as he could. Carrying nothing but the clothes on his back and his sonic screwdriver, this brave warrior began the long, dangerous walk to Umbra. He hoped that he was going the right way. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing. The four warriors soon crossed paths and chose to stick together, increasing their chances of reaching the palace safely. It was a long journey, but they were confident that they would make it. They were like the Three Musketeers, except there were four of them. Each one of them was determined to meet the Creator, more commonly known as Lord Variety Black.

	Here's my part, it's a bit so-so imo but whatev's. Within his majestic palace, Lord Variety Black sat at the throne as he watched the journey of the four warriors through a large crystal ball that was centered in the middle of his throne room. Soon after the four adventurers rallied together the quartet came across their first obstacle, the Gloomy Woods. Everyone throughout the land of Umbra knew the forest for its powerful gusts of winds that were strong enough to lift travelers off their feet and sending them flying in any random direction; winds which would mysteriously occur, cease instantly and occur again all in a short intervals of minutes. Upon the sight of the four entering the forest Lord Black quickly ordered his servants to fetch him various foods for him to snack on, confident that the puzzle of the woods would take some time for the four heroes to solve. Needless to say the first trial would surely prove to be quite entertaining for Lord Black. Several minutes after from when the group first entered the forest they were greeted by a light breeze but as they reached deeper into the woods this breeze became what seemed like a fierce gale. As the winds began blowing furiously each would end up holding on very tightly to a nearby tree, in order to keep themselves from getting blown back to the entrance of the forest. Now everyone in the group was having trouble with these winds but the one person, or should I say pokémon, who had the most difficulty was obviously Mawile with his very small and light body. The combination of those two factors proved fatal for Mawile as the winds lifted him into the air and thrusted him into the treetops above. On the treetops above the forest there were many pokemon that happened to battling it out as if in an all out war, but these weren’t just any pokemon they were Shiftry. A specific pokemon capable of producing powerful gales with a wave of fans that served as their hands. More importantly Shiftry were known to serve as the guardian of any forest they choose to inhabit and there could only be one boss within Gloomy Woods. With the information of warring Shiftry, Mawile quickly ~~tripped and fell down from twenty feet from the tree~~ made his way back down to the group and informed the others; that’s when Shiny the Ever Fluorescent pointed his golden trident and blasted a ray of dazzling light into the treetops, blinding the Shiftry fighting that were battling it out up above. With the Shiftry dazed and confused from Shiny’s valiant display of, well, shininess the fierce winds had ceased allowing the quartet of heroes to continue on their journey to The Creator’s palace... ------------------- White: 3911 9598 3519 White2: 5201 1285 6922
