The Secrets of Runouw.com

Postby Blablob » August 28th, 2010, 3:15 am

Introduction

It was Three o clock sharp. I didn’t want to risk being late to this; I was ready an hour before schedule.

I walked down the long hallway which I found to be very narrow and long. Past every door, every room, every member. At the end of the hallway were 2 doors. To the left there was one which had in bold blue print “The Forums.”

To the right was an orange door, with again, bold print, and it read “For Mods/Admins only” Only Mods and Admins were given a key card to access this room.

I remember joining Runouw.com asking myself, “what lays behind that door?” I tried to open it, kick it, everything. But it wouldn’t budge, not even a little. So what did I do? I went through the left door. Thinking back, it seems like so long ago. How I have gone from an average member to a Moderator. Anything’s possible, I suppose.

I reached for my pants pocket, and pulled out a key card. I swiped it in the door, and it opened. Forum 23 was mine to access.

------

“Welcome, Blablob”. said someone across the table of which I was about to sit down to. It was Superyoshi.

Superyoshi sat on the left of Runouw. It was really cool seeing what Runouw looked like. Yes, it was something minor, but he never shows his face to the actual forums. Only through Forum 23. And he isn’t scary looking or anything. He has blond hair, glasses, and a very average-looking face. It kind of begs the question: How did HE become the Administrator of all THIS? But I have learned not to judge someone by their looks.

Fourinone also sat on the right of Runouw. That left 3 places left to sit; one for Demonic (who unfortunately had to leave), one for me, and one for MessengerOfDreams, although he wasn’t here for some reason.

I sat down, and folded my hands on the table. “So you want to lay the news on me now or keep me waiting any longer? A big enough deal has already been made about this.”

Fourinone spoke. “Blablob….listen. There’s something we need to tell you.”

“I know, that’s why I’m here, right?”

“Yeah,” said four, “But this is really crucial news.”

“Alright, I’m listening”.

Fourinone looked over to Suyo and nodded his head. Suyo gave him a devilish look as if “why make me give him the news?” Suyo cleared his throat, and Runouw watched silently. “Blablob, MOY has…..” he stopped, trying to gather the courage to say it.

“What? Did he do something bad? Get demoted? ”

“No…he..............." He just couldn't seem to say it.

Then Runouw spoke. “MOY died.”

THE CREED: Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted.
"...That's rather cynical."

"It would be if it were doctrine, but it is merely an observation of the nature of reality.
To say that Nothing is True is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shephards of our own civilization.
To say that Everything is Permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with the consequences, whether glorious...or tragic."

I daresay, you found a long hallway to be long? That's quite unusual. :facepalm:

Anyway, this is all right. I'm not too intrigued by this yet. Your writing could use some work, as evidenced by the above quote. I would've written that sentence as, "I walked down the long and narrow hallway." Nice, short, and sweet. "Found to be," is a very awkward phrase, not to mention you were very redundant with the long hallway. This reminds me of MOY's Legacy, where I'm killed early on. Speaking of which, I WANT MOAR OF THAT MOY! Um…yeah, so anyway, keep writing…I might find I like it more once more is written.

Chapter 1

I sat in my chair, shocked at what I had just heard. At first I couldn’t wrap my mind around the news. So I asked, “MOY….he what?”

Suyo shook his head. “I’m afraid it’s true” he said. “We found his body on the floor of his cabin early this morning before anyone was awake.”

“Someone killed him?”

“Well,” said Four, “actually….”

“What is it?”

Four looked around, as if searching for an answer. “We don’t know if he was killed.”

I looked wide-eyed at him. “What do you mean? Of course he was killed! You found his body on his cabin floor!”

“Blab,” spoke Suyo, “There was no evidence.” Suyo scratched the back of his head. Then he looked right up to me. “There was nothing to suggest he was killed or killed himself. No markings, bruises, cuts, weapons, fingerprints; nothing.”

“Wait wait!” I said. “So you’re implying that he just died? No reason given? He’s just…dead?”

“Well,” said Four, “That‘s what the evidence suggests.”

“What evidence?”

“Exactly”.

I just looked down. Really, MOY just died? No reason given? That’s simply impossible. There must’ve been something we were missing. Something…and I was going to find out what.

“Alright,” said Runouw as he stood up. “We needed to tell you the news before anyone else knew about this. I will inform the rest of the forums. Meeting adjourned.”

------------

I was the last to walk out of Forum 23. I closed the big heavy, orange door behind me, and locked it.

Looking back, it really makes me wonder how I’ve come so far in such little time; how I’ve gone from such a dumb spammer to one of the most respected people around. It impressed even me.

“Attention Runouw.com!” I heard over the speakers in the building, as I walked back to my cabin. “I have a very important announcement to make.”

As I walked into my cabin, which I shared with Avolerators--he became my first friend on the forums--I looked at Avo. He thought he had problems, like taking care of Avotropolis, maintaining his good attitude, his art topics, and other things. He had nothing on Mods.

“It saddens me to tell you”, continued the speaker, “that we have lost one of our best members.”

Avo stared at me. I looked at him back. He whispered to me, “Who?” I didn’t answer him. I pointed to the speaker, advising him to listen.

“Everyone, we have lost our Moderator, MessengerOfDreams.”

Avo gasped. I looked down at myself. Could I have done something to prevent this? That’s what I thought. Maybe that’s what everyone was thinking at this point.

“The cause of death is unknown. The funeral for him will be held this coming Sunday, at 1:00, in the main lobby. That is all.” And then the sound of the speaker hanging up was heard.

I sat down on my side of the room, on my bed. “What happened, Blab?” asked Avo.

I sighed. “I don’t know.”

Avo fidgeted with his thumb, showing he was disturbed. “So….he’s gone? Dead?”

“Pretty much”.

“Well, I can’t say I’m too sad by it. Pretty shocked, but more or less kind of relieved”.

I stared at him. “Say what?”

“Oh wait, I didn’t tell you the PM he gave me and the rest of the forums the other day, did I?”

“PM? To everyone on the forums?”

“Well, except for Mods and stuff, from what I understand.”

“Wait wait wait! If everyone got a PM, then why am I hearing about it just now?”

“Well, you would understand once you read the PM. And now that he‘s….well, gone…I can tell you.”

I nodded to him. “Tell me.”

He went up to a cabinet on his side of the bed, and pulled out a blue sheet of paper. He gave it to me. “This is the PM every normal forum member got from MOY.” I read it:

Hello Runouw.com.

Starting right now I am not accepting anymore out-of-line attitudes. If I see you acting up, it will result in an auto-permaban. NO EXCEPTIONS! Do not tell any Mods about this issue. This will result in an IP ban. NO EXCEPTIONS! Do not attempt to argue with this, it is the final decision. If you do, it will result in a permaban. NO EXCEPTIONS! Now maybe the forums will act a little better. Stay good and stay safe. With high regards,

MessengerOfDreams


I stared at the letter, flabbergasted. I was too shocked for words. But I managed to croak one thing. “Okay.”

I lied down on my bed, thinking. Suddenly someone ran into our cabin. It was alucard. “Blab! Come here!”

I sat up, and got up, and followed alucard out the door. Avo followed.

We walked down the long hallway, toward the two doors that read “The Forums” and “For Mods/Admins only”. When we got to the doors. We went through the Forum Door.

Everyone was cheering MOY’s death.

And then I got out my whistle, and blew it. “SETTLE DOWN, EVERYONE!”

Everyone stared at me. “Blab,“ said James35, “you would understand why we cheering if you gotten the same PM we did, so you don’t know__”

“ I read the PM.” I said.

“Oh.” Said James. “Well then, why you tell us to stop?”

“Because really,” I said, “You are going to cheer the death of one of our greatest members? One of you should’ve told us about this PM. We could’ve worked it out one way or another. This probably has something to do with his death. I‘m sure MOY was just confused or something.”

And the forums went silent.

-------------

A lot of questions still bogged my mind. What was the cause of death? Why would someone act like this? Why are the whole forums so happy about MOY’s death? Why would MOY send such a horrible PM to anyone?

That last question, though, I knew the answer to. It wasn’t the real MOY.

Don't be too quick to judge your own character, MOY. It will make sense once more is revealed. But thanks for the review.

Last sentence bothers me…how did you know that "it wasn't the real MOY?" Epiphany? Maybe it was the real MOY having a mental breakdown.

Nevertheless, this was a better chapter. Well written and lacking redundancy. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Are you ever going to make the next chapter?
I may no longer be on runouw.com anymore, however I will still check runouw.com for messages, make A sm63 level now and then, but I just got bored here on runouw.com. I think runouw.com is a great site, but I have other things I need to do. Thank you to all that have helped me and goodbye.

Well done. Just... well done.

I think it's safe to say that after 3 years of inactivity that this story is dead. Please reread the rules before posting again.

Even if I wanted to, my writing has changed so much that continuing the story would result in huge inconsistencies between the chapters. A better solution would be to simply rewrite the story from scratch, but obviously I've lost interest.
