Puzzletime - VOTING ENDS 25th

[Eggie]

Oookay. I'm PRETTY sure it isn't wrong for me to be here so...here we are:

DA ROOLZ:
Every week (or so) a post will be made with a list of items and a scenario. Using your wit, skill and lack of mental health; find a way to complete the scenario with the items provided. You can only use a set number of items of your own choice. When I say use your skill, use it.

For example: you have a boulder and a reinforced window. I advise not using Pick Up boulder chuck through window. Think of something adventuresque to use.

Voting: After the week voting shall commence!

What If I win?: The winner chooses the next scenario and list of items.

BAM! The theme this week shall be...Romance! I'll leave it open to interpretation. Just make sure you include at least five of the following things:

A talking animal
Sun tan lotion
A gravy boat
Some dead skin
A rotten kumquat
A fart in a bottle
An instruction manual
Four eggs (one item)

You can add TWO items of your choice.

[Lionheart]

A Dark forest streches for miles as rain begins to fall through the leaves. The sounds of footsteps marching through the mud echos throughout the muffled area.

A Figure begins to approach, a single aged lantern acting as illumination, providing an eerie glow.

FLASH

Lightning flashes across the darkened sky as the sound of thunder barrels off in the distance.

You see his face, - he is a young handsome man, with little experience of adventure in his eyes.

A Cloak covers him from head to toe, guarding him against the daggers of water that fall from the sky.

As he continues trenching himself through the forest, a high pitched voice is heard  next to him.

"So what now Cecil?"

Cecil: "I'm not really sure Osric, the map is ruined from the rain" *he speaks in a light hearted voice

the voice appears to be a talking turtle, it rests upon cecils shoulders.

Osric: "Oh Great! The so called hero can't even protect a map, how does he think he is going to protect a kingdom when he is older?"

Cecil: "...  You are treading on dangerous ground tonight Osric... Your lucky i don't leave you here by yourself."

Osric: *Squeels* "Fine Fine.... Just remember cecil, you need to find that Enchanted Tree.."

Cecil frowns

Cecil: "There are thousands of trees around us, how do you expect me to find a single enchanted tree!"

Cecil walks straight into a tree, all of a sudden you hear a loud roaring voice shout out in pain

TREE: YEOWAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Cecil turns to osric, "What was that?"

osric stares blankly at the talking tree

"There it is Cecil!"

Cecil looks up to the tree and apoligizes.

TREE: CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I AM ROOTED HERE?

The tree bellows

Cecil: "Forgive me great tree, i come to ask thee of something."

TREE: WHAT IS IT?

Cecil: "I Require the rotton kumquat of your branches, in order to save my love from a curse."

TREE: THAT CANNOT BE DONE, I NEED IT TO LIVE, GO NOW AND LEAVE ME.

Cecil has anger in his eyes

Cecil: "I have traveled many miles to reach here, through weather of more difficult proportions!"

TREE: I CARE NOT, LEAVE BEFORE I AM ANGERED!!

Cecil then whispers something to osric "Turn into an axe"

Osric: "Righto!"

A flash appears around osric as he turns into a sturdy axe

Cecil: "Now to get your fruit!"

Cecil slams the axe against the tree in several fluid strokes as it falls to the ground. The screams of the tree are echoed throughout the forest.

Cecil bends down, axe in hand and picks up the rotton kumquat.

A Smile appears on his face

Cecil: "Osric change into Gryphon, we can fly our way back to the kingdom now and gather up the 4 eggs and the other materials that we need"

Osric changes his form once more into the great winged beast.

They fly off into the distance toward the kingdom.

Cecil rushes into the kingdom and enters a room with the 4 eggs and the rotton kumquat in his hand, as well as a pouch of other items.

Fairy: Have you returned with what i have asked?

Cecil: "Yes i have, all 5..."

Osric: "5?"

Cecil hands over the eggs and the rotton fruit, some dead skin and lotion of tanning and turns to osric.

Cecil: "Sorry Osric.... your the 5th... a talking animal..."

Osric: " But... But"

Cecil lowers his head and hands over osric as the fairy nods

Fairy: Very well it shall be done, your love shall be turned back into her youthful age once again, and i shall break the witches curse..

The Fairy casts a spell on the elderly woman sleeping as she gradually turns into a beautiful young girl.

The Fairy then fades as all the items dissappear with her

Cecil smiles as he walks over to his love, he leans down to kiss her lips but a pain surrounds his entire body.

He begins to scream in horror as he bends and twists into a giant tree.

The beautiful woman awakens, and sees the tree...  she speaks gently

"Since when are trees planted in doors?"



GAME OVER..


It seems that being greedy doesn't pay off, you destroy an enchanted tree, and give away your best friend... Whatta Expect?

[Eggie]

Oooh. Nice entry, and a very unique way of writing the puzzles. It kind of took me a while to work it out but it's definately one of the more original entries I've seen in a Puzzletime.

[Bluke4x4]

cutscene: A pirate ship
CREWMAN  "A whale of a tale..."
CAP'N "WILL YA STOP SINGIN' THAT BLEEDIN' SONG!!!!"
LOOKOUT "There's a drifter on starboard side!"
CAP'N "Pull 'im aboard, will ya?"
YOUNG MAN is pulled aboard from drifting in the sea.
YOUNG MAN "Ugh... Where am I?"
CAP'N "Yer on the great Atlantic, ready to face whatever the brutal ocean throws at ya, able to defeat the dreaded sea monster and resist the alluring song of the sirens."
YOUNG MAN "I think I'm gonna be sick."
CAP'N "Take this ill boy to the chamberpots, Jeff."
JEFF(CREWMAN) "Certainly, sir."
JEFF and the YOUNG MAN walk across the deck together, and the YOUNG MAN's older voice is heard.
OLDER YOUNG MAN(O.S.) "I was but a 21 year old boy at that point. I had much to learn, much to experience. But nothing could prepare me for her."
5 YEARS LATER...
The Ship is stuck in a treacherous storm.
CAP'N "EVERYONE GET OFF THE SHIP!!!!"
Everyone jumps off the ship and gets into rowboats.
Thunder claps. Lightning flashes.
YOUNG MAN (now 5 years older) gets hit by a lightning bolt.
YOUNG MAN wakes up on a jungle island in a beach hut made of coconuts.
YOUNG MAN "Whaaaooooh."
CAP'N "Jon? You OK?"
JON(YOUNG MAN) "Whuh? Yeah. Yeah, I'm OK. I just had a nightmare about the storm again."
CAP'N "Ya gotta get over it, lad. It happened oer a month ago."
JON "I will."
CAP'N "Anyway, Jeff found some civilization 'round 10 miles from here."
JON "I'll get ready."
Cutscene end.

JON "I better pack up my stuff."

There are various items lying around, a strange mechanism that one of the crewmen made out of coconuts, crude sun-tan lotion made of coconuts, a chair made of coconuts, etc.
LOOK AT mechanism made of coconuts.

JON "It's an instruction manual!"

EXIT hut.
CAP'N "Are you ready to go?"
JON "YES" or "NO"
If "NO"
CAP'N "Go back in your hut and pack then!"
If "YES"
CAP'N "Then let's go!"
Start very slow loop around and around, in a line with the other sailors, going down the beach. The background is repeating as you walk.
LOOK AT rotten kumquat
JON "Ew. Rotten kumquat. I picked it recently, but it's rotten."
After the 2nd time around the loop.
JON "Hey! We're going in circles! I better see what's going on in front!"
JON runs to the front of the line.
CAP'N is sweating profusely and can't think (or walk, apparently) straight.
JON "Are you OK?" or "What's up?" or "Why are we going in circles?"
If "Are you OK?"
CAP'N "No.... Bleurgh.... Too hot...."
If "What's up?"
CAP'N "Nothing's up... I might throw up, but nothing's up. Nothing's up!!!"
If "Why are we going in circles?"
CAP'N "I see a light at the end of the tunnel.... There's Aunt Margaret... Huh?"
USE sun-tan lotion on CAP'N
JON "That'll help you to not get sunburnt"
USE rotten kumquat on CAP'N
"You squish the kumquat over his head, all the juices pouring on his head, making him feel refreshed."
CAP'N "Huh? Huh? Oh, um... Where are we going? This isn't the way! Um..."
CUTSCENE:
the line turns drastically in a different direction.
OLDER JON(O.S.) " I had no idea what laid ahead on this strange island we landed on over a month ago. I had no idea that I would find the girl of my dreams, as well
as well as the adventure of a lifetime."
CUTSCENE end.
The crew are now in a town.
CAP'N "Now, the key here is to find some help off this island. Everyone needs to pitch in finding some kind of boat."
