WHAT DAY IS IT?

Oh my god I don't know what the hell is going on! I just woke up in what looked like a hospital bed. The last thing I remembered was talking to 369... I was going to tell her I love her! What the sheeeeeeeeeeet!!!! The last ... wait, how long has it been? OH MY GOD THERE WAS A TUBE STICKING OUT OF MY NECK. I yanked it out and a pasty green liquid started oozing out... I tried all the doors, but this room is locked tight. Its like a hospital room, but a ghetto one... the floor is concrete and is seeping something greasy... There's... OMG THERES A BLOODY SCALPEL. I'm so confused.... I wake up in this room... oh god its so dirty... There some machine I was hooked up to, lots of blinky things on it, and my laptop is here. WHY? WHAT IS GOING ON?

HEEELP, STUCK IN SANTA FACTORY... PLEASE SEND HLP!!!!!!

Holy crap I just yelled out and I heard 369's voice!!! I'm going to ask her what she knows...

OMG so she just woke up in a supply room just now! She doesn't know what the hell is going on either.... MAYBE THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO TELL HER HOW I FEEL!!!

...


Well apparently there is water coming into her room... she's freaking out... OMG I HAVE TO SAVE HER SO SHE WILL LOVE ME. I can hear her voice through a vent in the ceiling... I'm going to try and stack stuff up to get to it. Oh god she says the water is black!

She says the water is up to her knees... she's scared.... I got to the ceiling, but the vent is held on by huge screws... I'm going to try to use the knife as a screwdriver bbiam...

Holy crap its not working... 369 said the light just went out in her room and its pitch dark... I can hear her screaming... THE WATER IS ABOVE HER HEAD AND SHE'S TREADING WATER JUST TO STAY AFLOAT!

OH GOD.

My hands are bleeding from trying to claw open the vent! SHE'S YELLING FOR ME TO SAVE HER! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! THE WATER IS FILLING HER ROOM!

I am going to tell her that I love her!!! The greatest tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love!!!

369!!!! I...... LOVE....... YOU!!!

*GURGLE GURGLE*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My life is not worth living!!! I can't go on!!! I just listened to the girl I love drown in black evil water AT THIS STUPID SANTA CRAPHOLE CORPORATE CLUSTERFRACK AHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGCKKKK!!!!!!! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO TELL HER!


That scalpel sure looks good right now... AND ... THE BLACK WATER IS POURING THROUGH THE VENT NOW!!!

GOODBYE WORLD ***ANNNNNGGSSSTT***

It was a late night in the lab when I heard somebody bang on my door three times in rapid succession...

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Who would knock at my door at this hour? Whoever it is they must have something very important to tell me. Opening the door there was nobody in sight, just a huge man-sized wrapped gift box with a nice big bow on top. I read the tag:

Your #1 Fan Wrote:
A present for EflTech404! Merry Christmas!

I heart surprises! This must be the biggest gift ever! I never could wait till Christmas to open my gifts, why start now...

3:00pm

I'm still in a daze... what time is it? What day? What year? My body is soooo sore... sleep... must get some soon... no wait. My dad always told me that the best folk are the ones who work until they cannot work anymore... I can still work... afterall...

Must find my boss 247 to get my next assignment... all the crates have finally been moved into Sublevel Z... Z? Wait a sec... there is no Sublevel Z... or is there? *BONK* Ow. My head... What is this?

Door.

Office of 247 the sign reads. I reach for the door knob and turn it. The door opens.

Empty.

I wonder where the boss is? His computer screen is flashing... like that one epileptic episode of Pokemin. My head is spinning.

Screaming.

247? Is that you? Must be a party... I hear a loud thump. Machinery whirring and spinning. Faster and faster until...

BOOM.

The whole facility started shaking. I'm back in the hall... gotta find the boss. Feel kinda nauseous... speaking of food.

Passing by the lunch room. "Wow! Big claw--"

More screaming.

That must be one killer breakfast pastry for him to yell like that. Reminds me of those Urban Essences commercials where that lady freaks out cause she loves her shampoo so much ... I never quite understood that one. sweatdrop

Bright flash of light.

Can't see a thing... too bright... I think I'm blind ... but I can hear still. "The sun god has returned. NO! It can't be! An eclipse!!!"

More screaming.

When my sight returns, I'm standing in front of 403's desk. A few strands of her hair are on the keyboard. Strange. Must find the boss... passing by the crew quarters ... or maybe I should take a nap ... that sounds good. cry

Bed.

I go lie down and try to shut my eyes. Nodding off...

BOOM.

OMG... what is it now? I go check out what the noise was. It's coming from 138's room. I try the knob and the door swings open into--

Nothing.

The floor was missing... all I could see was a big chasm where the floor used to be. Strange... I guess the noise isn't coming from here.

BOOM.

Or is it? I definitely heard it again...

BOOM.

Below me. How strange... I can't see anything.

Screaming.

Will everyone just shut up?! Gah! I can't take anymore of these high pitched noises... my head hurts.

Silence.

Thank you. I hear whispering... a very zen-like voice. "I am ready it says."

Screaming.

Definitely not ready for whatever that was. What's going on here? Why is everyone SCREAMING? Maybe I should head to security. Maybe they can get everyone to shut up... I knock on the door. gonk

Silence.

No answer. Try again. No good. Ok, this is getting annoying. What kind of security do we have around here? I peak in the window. Two shadows. Holding hands. Big shadow!

Screaming.

Darn it! Migraine! Will somebody help me out here?! Maybe 909 can help me. He's always drinking coffee... maybe that's what I need. I make my way to the cubicle area and open the door. I get to 909's cubicle and...

Empty.

All over the wall, in what appears to be a dark red paint, spells out two words:

"On Vacation"

Very messy handwriting. I know I shouldn't talk cause my handwriting looks like chicken scratch, but this handwriting was pretty bad. It almost looks like it was sprayed or splattered onto the walls using a swiping motion... like those handwritten prescriptions you get from your doctor when you need to pick up medicine. I could never read those and I don't understand how a pharmacist could either... oh well. I guess 909 is on vacation. Just my luck. I turn to the cubicle next to him hoping to find some coffee. 319. Her cube is also empty... I guess that means she's on vacation too. sweatdrop

Uncle.

Maybe 062 can help me. My daddy used to tell me that whenever I needed help with anything that I should go to uncle 062. He can fix ANYTHING. He's also one of those folk who is always working. My daddy told me that a person like uncle 062 is someone to be respected and admired. I wish I could be like him one day! I head over to his office and knock on the door.

Silence.

No answer. Where are you uncle 062? I'm desperate now... I bash the door in. UNCLE!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!! gonk

"I'm sorry."

At least that's what the messy red paint handwriting says. I guess uncle knew I was coming and left me a note. I understand. He's always so busy. I never even got to thank him for getting me this job...Well, I guess I should look for the boss again. Must stay strong like uncle.

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

I didn't see anyone. I found a trail of vegie rollup wrappers and decided to follow them. Perhaps food will keep my energy up. I don't feel nautious anymore anyways... just dizzy. whee

KABOOM!

An explosion?! It came from the special projects section of the facility near the water mains! The entire floor flooded and I was washed away. On the crest of the wave there was a shredded gift box that had a small charred/blackened label that read "A present for EflTech404! Merry Christmas!" I wonder what an Efl-Tech is? The water eventually drained away as I was pushed into the next floor. Into the lower levels of the facility I think.

"-69! I...LO--"

At least that's what I heard. Man, that sounded really angsty whoever that was. sweatdrop

KABOOM.

An explosion. The whole facility was shaking. The alarms suddenly started going off. eek

"WARNING. CORE BREACH IMMINENT IN POWER RELAY SYSTEM. PLEASE EVACUATE THE FACILITY."

Oh no... that's sounds bad. I gotta get out of here... but there's no way I can get out of the facility. And even if I did, I don't even know where I am!

BOOM.

The facility was shaking. I got knocked over really hard. Just my luck! I found a single card from the Amazing Elf's card deck! HOW AWESOME! The Amazing Elf would know what to do! He can totally make us disappear or maybe even walk through the walls to get us out! But he's no where to be found. No one is here. I'm all alone. crying

BOOM.

The wall caved in. I'm trapped here. I'm so alone. crying

"WARNING. THIS FACILITY WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN T-MINUS 9...8...7"

A ball. Made of rubber bands. The cute girl... I wonder if she made it out of here...

A note.

It says, "101. Hold onto this. Your friend, 003." heart

It was at that moment that I realized that, despite everything coming to an end, I truly do LOVE WORKING IN A SECRET ARCTIC TEST FACI--

"Making Chrismtas..."  

[saphira_legend]

eek whoa! Now THAT was interesting wasn't it?! So let's sum it up shall we?

The ElfTechs had to write journals just like the Labtechs from the holloween event. Apparently Santa Claus survived the attack from Jack, and held a speech for the ElfTechs.
The ElfTechs all got re-assigned to get one step up in the production. Due to a malfunction in the crane mechanism at the shipping yards, one of the big crates fell to the ground. Inside it was a claw. A day after, another crane accident happened. This time the crate contained a watergun.
How crazy for all accidents that happens at the shipping yards rolleyes . The crates had some "Dinanthropoides Nivalis", also called Yetis, in the 3rd accident. After that, ElfTech247 posted two strange, encoded messages in his journal. The next day, he also reported that he was requesting that the cameras be removed.
ElfTech137 wrote about the R&D's top secret project. After some modifications done on the claw and the Super Drencher 5000, they were to be used with the Yetis, hopefully to provide the missing link in the research of a mysterious substance in the Vial, which was found after Halloween 2k5. (like we don't know what that was rolleyes )
After some days without anymore accidents, an alarm suddenly went of in Sublevel F. The ElfTechs started to panic, and two of them were seen in GAIA Towns. Mrs. Claus took action fast, and told the EflTechs not to enter Sublevel F, for any reason.
ElfTech123 told that he had heard rumor that security guards Bob and Jim were killed, and ElfTech101 says it was a Giant Yeti which did it.
After Mrs. Claus apparently got it all under control, Santa Claus gave yet another speech. ElfTech722, whom Mrs. Claus alittle earlier had punished for being lazy, had contacted several users to make them start petitions to help him. Unfortunately, only two made it past 130 signatures, which were made by Professor-Marina and The Sezza.
After getting the signatures, ElfTech722 made a genius plan to trick Mrs. Claus. The plan worked, but Mrs. Claus re-assigned him to a top secret project. Right after that, she disabled his PM Box.
A short time after that, the S CORP security system started to block the ElfTech's Work Journals, one by one. No one knows for sure what happened to the ElfTechs, but there's a chance that ElfTech722 could have survived.  

[saphira_legend]

As we all know, Jack was the type that seems to love to get the last word. So... He almost did. you saw this Icon on the Map of Barton:.Then once you clicked on him, this comic showed up:

OH MY! now that was a good fight, but who was the masked figure? rolleyes ... we saw who it was after the christmas event. Which I will gladly display next ! mrgreen  

[saphira_legend]

CHRISTMAS 2K5

Well here comes santy clause here comes santy clause.... sorry hehe sweatdrop

Yes we could get items that were pretty cute this time around as well.
You would have to go to all the shops and carol to the NPCs. This is what you would see when you went to carol:
you would klick on the singing carol then You'd have to wait a few minutes in between carols though which was a little annoying, but hey what can we do right? after you had gotten all the NPC carols in all the shops, you would find Santa on the m surprised ap like so:. And an overlay showed up like this:

And he would give you a 2k5 bag.
You could also go into towns this time to go Carol there! This is how the houses would look like:

As you can see, you could sing with friends mrgreen The people in the last pic are Noval, myself and Mule our neighborhood loonies and we were singing in front of my house.
After you collected 100 carols, you would go to the fountain part of the towns;but there was something else other than the fountain there! there was a christmas tree!!
And it lit up at night too!

You would then go to Santa that was walking around the tree:

The Box would look like this: and the items you could get were these:
And how they looked like up close? Well here they are domokun :
 

[saphira_legend]

WHO IS THE MASKED FIGURE?!

After the christmas event, we found an icon in the Barton square again but this time, it was our reporter:Then this comic would come up:

Oh the cuteness of THAT! whee
(Many Gaians guessed who that guy was though. But since I'm mean, I will let you see in the next comic that we got during new years wink )  

[saphira_legend]

New years had come around and we had a party to go to! This is the annoucement we got from the Repoter:
This just in.

I've just gotten official word that the GAIA Anniversary Ball 2K6 will be held in the Gambino Mansion in Durem starting tomorrow at noon PST!

I've also heard that a series of 4 gift items will be given out during the event, all just for hanging out with your fellow Gaians for about an hour!

The event will run until midnight on Sunday PST, so there should be plenty of time to get the items.

Cindy Donovinh reporting for GAIA 9 Action News.

We went to the durem Town and This icon would show up when you clicked on the new Gambino Mansion:

Then, when you got in, A big forum was opened where you could chat with people. As you did that, little signes on the top would show up once in a while with either Sasha, or Ian talking about who the mask could be.










and then every 15 minutes or so, Mrs clause would show up out of nowhere and give you items. Her messages looked like these:

then you would find these in your inventory:
eek wait... Aren't those elf... EWWWW DEAD ELF CLOTHES!!! YOU SICK SICK ..... *cough*...
Model them?! sure! mrgreen

Now during this event, sasha was waiting for this Masked figure to show up. And she also saw that there were alot of people dressed up like him... even her! The reason for this, is that two shops on the map had items that we could wear that resembled them. the Mask: and the Sasha wig:
MODEL:

and when the clock was going to strike midnight, This is what we found:

Now that was fun! xd

CONTINUED

The defendant will please refrain from making claims about his own character.

I see no reason to delay this question any longer. Ian, did you commit arson at the Gambino mansion on the night of October, 30?

I did NOT, sir. I would never do such a thing! I am not a violent person and I would never harm a living thing.

Thank you, Ian. End sequence of questioning.

ProsecutionBot, your witness.

Ian, is it?

Yes... *gulp*

Is that your full name? That is, do you have a last name?

Of course, it's--

OBJECTION! Relevance?

I'm sure many people would like to know.

The law does not require last names to be announced. Everyone here knows who the defendant is here. And this is totally irrelevant to the case at hand.

Withdrawn. Ian, how is it that you know the Gambino family?

Well, who doesn't know the Gambino family? They are only the wealthiest and most influential family in all of Gaia!

Do you know them personally?

No, not really.

But you have dealt with Johnny K. Gambino in the past?

Well, sure, I helped pass out gifts at the Anniversary Ball a couple years back...

Is that all?

Well, sure it is.

You run the Barton Boutique, formally known as the Gambino Boutique, did you not?

... yes.

AHA! Earlier, both Ruby and Meredith testified that you had prior dealings with Johnny K. Gambino when your Gambino Boutique was taken from you! Why did you hide that fact, Ian?!

NO! I didn't ... I mean ... well, I don't like to think about that.

Why did you LIE, Ian?

I didn't mean to ... it's just ... it was a hard time in my life. I had a lot of pressure on me ... to make the boutique succeed. My family entrusted it to me. The "boutique" has long since been a family trademark, a business passed down from generation to generation. Every owner of a "boutique" ran his business with a talking cat. It was tradition. And a good business gimmick as well... When Rufus became the last in his line of talking cats, I knew I would be the last of the "boutique" owners... there was a lot riding on me to succeed... I ...

Well then, how did you feel when the shop's prime real estate was taken from you by the Gambino family?

I ... well, at first I was upset... I didn't know how I felt really. I went through a bunch of phases... anger, denial, depression, etc...

You were angered?

Of course, I hated myself... I hated that I couldn't step up to the plate and succeed. My father had succeeded before me, and his father before him, and his father before him...

Success was very important to you.

Yes... it was. I didn't want to let everyone down.

So, then, you would do ANYTHING to succeed?

Yes... erm... no.... that's not what I--

What did you do after you lost the Gambino Boutique?

I, well, went away for a little while. Ended up in Barton Town. I worked really hard for the past few years to get the Boutique where it is today.

But your sales have never amounted to much compared to what you were making on the Isle de Gambino?

No, but I'm ok with that. I've learned that I don't want to be in charge of so much pressure and responsibility... I... I just want to be happy. I just want to be lo--

Sasha.

S-s-sasha...

How do you feel about Sasha?

Sasha?!

Yes. Sasha. And let me remind you that you are under oath here.

I ... *gulp* erm ... I ... I love her.

But she doesn't love you, Ian.

...

In fact, from all of the media coverage we've seen from New Year's, it's quite obvious her heart belongs to another man ... a GAMBINO, in fact!

...

Tell me, Ian. How do you feel about that?

...

Does it anger you to know that the woman you love was taken from you by the same blood that took your family business from you?

I ...

YES or NO, Ian? Does it anger you to know that all of your hopes and dreams were dashed away by the GAMBINO's?!

...yes. *sob*

And you would do ANYTHING to get back what you lost, wouldn't you? WOULDN'T YOU?!

... I ... yes. *sob* *sob*

No further questions your honor.

You may step down, Ian. I believe that is the final witness of the trial. We will now take a recess while the prosecution and the defense are finalizing their closing statements. We will reconvene with the closing statements tomorrow at which time the jury will be able to decide the defendant's fate. Court is adjourned!

Well, there you have it! Today is a close call, I have no idea who did better today. We'll just have to wait for the closing statements until we can get a better idea! And GAIA 9 Action News will be there with coverage. You can count on it! See you then! Cindy Donovinh, signing off!

The defense may begin its closing statement.

Male and female humanoids of the jury. It is quite apparent that the prosecution has no case here.

All of the evidence that has been recorded into the court record database has been circumstantial. The prosecution has a tape of the defendant at the crime scene, but nowhere in that tape does it show the defendant actually doing anything wrong.

The prosecution has a bottle of pills that has the defendant's fingerprint on it. This only shows that the defendant was there. And we know why he was there. He was there simply to save the woman he loves FROM the fire.

The prosecution claims that the defendant is an evil, deceiving humanoid. But all that I observe of the defendant shows that he is merely a humanoid searching for *clang clang* ... love.

The defendant was simply "in the wrong place at the wrong time" to be accused for this crime. We all know that Ian is not responsible for this act. Let's not prolong his suffering any further. Hasn't he been through enough?


The prosecution may begin its closing statement.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury.

The defense would have you believe that the defendant, Ian, is a harmless individual. But we've shown you evidence that this is, in fact, not the case at all.

We had numerous witnesses, even witnesses called by the defense, admit that Ian was jealous of the Gambino family, especially with Gino Gambino.

We have witnesses testifying to Ian's violent nature. Ian ASSAULTED a man who was just doing his job.

We have irrefuteable evidence of Ian fleeing the scene of the crime and evidence that Ian was where he wasn't supposed to be that night.

We have evidence that Ian had forethought that something bad was going to happen at the mansion that night, a warning to the woman he loves.

Ian HIMSELF admitted that he would do ANYTHING for this "love." I call it jealousy. And we've seen it time and time again. Jealousy breeds acts of violence. The answer is clear. Do NOT let Ian get away with this heinous crime. You must convict Ian.


Thank you. This case now lies in the hands of the jury, i.e. the Gaia members. The voting begins now and will end in 5 days. The fate of the defendant, Ian, is in your hands now.

So that was the trial my friends. cool and we got to vote for the next 5 days. while Ian was in jail, Rufus the cat was taking care of the boutique!


And then the results came in!

It was unanimus. He was innocent!!!! So here is what we saw when he got out cool :

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?! eek eek gonk

 

[saphira_legend]

Now while everyone was panicking about if Ian was alive or not, Valentines day showed up and we all got a small event out of it. It was that big. No items or anything. You would get kisses and hugs from random people. This is how you would look like once you got one:

Nice little heart would show up and you would click on it.This would show up:

eek

If you wanted to hug or kiss someone, This would be how you did it. You would find the person:
Then you would send a hug or kiss:
Yes I got green cool
and Viper chan mrgreen
Then we got an update on Ian eek Here was the icon to click:and then here was the storyline:


 

[saphira_legend]

Now since we knew he was ok, we decided to accept the annual ball that Geno invited us to. 3nodding It was yet again in his mansion in Durem. So that is where we were.
This is what he wrote to us to thank us for attending:

Dear guests,

I would like to welcome you to the Gambino Mansion on behalf of my late father, Johnny K. Gambino.

While my father was alive, he accomplished many a great thing. He was a great man who was larger than life. He was a connoiseur of all the finer things in life. He lived like no other before him. He was, in fact, the most powerful man in all of Gaia.

Today, I would like for all of us to have a moment of silence to pay respects to the memory of my father. Without him, none of this would be possible.

Thank you all for joining me this year in celebration of all that is good -- GAIA, the mother earth, the annex of interaction and friendship, may your spirit continue to grow and bring joy to every soul which inhabits you.

HIP HIP HOORAY!! domokun











Then every 15 minutes or so, you'd get this!
