Well considering the last person to win dissapeared without a trace, and considering I started this comp, I figured I'd resurrect it.
*drum roll*
The improv story! This is about acting so... come up with a character and have him tell a story about himself, be it a hick at a campfire, or a hardboiled detective breaking down and telling the barman his sob story. Just have your character and tell his/her/their/funble/its story.

GO!

Weird! You'll have to copy and paste the link into your URL I'm afraid. (It seems to discount the !.zip part of the address.
Edited by mod: That's just because you didn't use the [url] tag, link fixed.

It's a tissue salesman in a church confessional booth. (Hey it WAS improvised!)

Sorry if you have trouble making out what i say.

Great one ManicMatt. I really liked it. try to say the guy's name five times really fast.  ;)

Tom S. Fox

Hehe, that's a great accent!
I barely understood anything, but it was really funny!  ;D

nihilyst

Okay, here I come. And I confess ...it's, in fact, not improvised, since I simply can't improvise in foreign tongues. So I wrote up an improvised story, that came to my mind and recorded it. I hope you don't mind this fact and my utterly horrible pronunciation.

Nihilst: You should write a book! (If you haven't already)


I've gone to the trouble of writing out the script of what I said for Thomas: (And anyone else who couldn't make me out.
My excuse was that there were people in the next room and I didn;t want them to hear me)


My name is manuel.... the third.
I have a terrible crime that I have commited and here I must confess it to you father. I must tell you of the SIN! The SIN that i have committed. Are you listening? WELL, you appear to be there so I'll continue. My story is, I've been selling tissues, to many people, many many tissues to many many people. But my crime is.. they... *cough* (Genuine cough!) they were used tissues! Snot in them, bogies, you name it, they were in there. And people bought them off me, and used them again. They thought they were their own bogies! And I now have to live with this crime! I couldn't even bring myself to give them refunds you know! I mean.. I MEAN! Just imagine me telling them.. you know.. Hey! By the way! I sold you a used tissue! that isn't your bogey in there!  I know you ate it afterwards but it isn;t yours! I couldn't bring myself so i just kept all the money. It was lots of money too! Uh.. father? Are you sleeping?? URGH!!

Hey, thanks!
But I mainly didn't understand it beacause of the accent.
I thought, he sold "T-Shirts".
Well, however, if he tells it all to his father, why does he intorduce himself?
I mean, you could think that your own father knows your name, couldn't you?
Well, then again, it was a very long and complicated one.

EDIT: Oh, wait, it's a priest! What an Idiot i am!
Well, I should have read the text with more attention.

Sinitrena

Mine isn't improvised either.  ;)

The fires will burn again

I don't know if it is difficult to understand what I'm saying, so here is the script:

Code: ags
Sonja, I beg you. Don't go, don't tell them what you are. I remember when the fires burned the last time, I remember the corpses, the cries. Listen, Sonja, you can't go and tell them. You just can't.
When we last tried to tell them, they just…, they panicked. They started to see witches everywhere. And they killed them. There where fires, fires everywhere, in every town, in every village. I was there. I saw it. Of course, it weren't witches they killed, it were themselves. But still, it were so many deads, so many.
Please, Sonja, I beg you. It will happen again.
Sonja, don't go, you know that I'm telling the truth. I saw all this. I lived when it happened â€" and I still live. Yes, you could say, it's good for us. They don't kill us, they don't kill witches, but we are responsible, we are the people they want to kill and they'll try to kill.
It was so strange when everyone started to denunciate each other â€" and I did as well. I wanted to live, I wanted our kind to survive. I had a friend, a very good friend, but she wasn't one of us, she was one of them. Someone denunciated her and they ask me. They said I know her so I could tell them something about her. I didn't know what to do. I… I wanted to help her, wanted to tell them what I am, what we do, why we do it, but I… I… I couldn't. I was afraid, afraid to die. And so I… I said what they wanted to hear. I said she is a witch, she is a monster, associated with the devil, whatever, I don't even remember what I said. She died. Of course, they all die â€" unlike us. But I am responsible for her death. â€" Not just because I denunciated her, but also because I went to them, years ago, told them about us, about magic. I was like you, Sonja. I thought they are wise enough to understand, but they didn't. They didn't when I tried to explain it, and they will not understand it now.
I told them what we are and this was wrong. They feared us. There was no reason, we never tried to hurt them, but they still did.
Please, Sonja, you know I'm telling the truth, even though you weren't born yet when all this happened.
I know, I said all this so many times, but I have to, I just have to. Don't go, please don't go. I know I can't stop you, but I beg you, don't go.
Sonja, the fires will burn. They will. Sonja, the fires will burn again!

The Bedminster Incident

Damnit, too late. I thought today was still open for entries.
But thanks for that topic. I will most certainly use what I did as entry in a project of mine, as I really like what I came up with.
But even with my entry, nihilyst would've won. The story is just... amazing.

I'm really impressed. And I love that voice of yours.
