(Rated PG-13 for probably insanity, and so randomness may cause gore and someone to die and stuff.)

Premise

The Evil Overlord of the Land of Omegle, Megatron, has kidnapped Boobo.

But no one knows what Boobo is. Until a young farmgirl, named Exodus, is called upon to find Boobo by a wise man, who dubs her Mass Exodus because of her weight problems. She doesn't know why, other than she must to prove something. The unnamed Wise Man tells her to find Boobo, who has been captured by Megatron, and is about to tell her what Boobo is, when suddenly an anvil falls from the sky and kills him.

What is Boobo? Where is Boobo? And why does that mule smell so much?

Answer all these questions. Currently, Exodus is in the town, bearing only a hovel, her gorrilla and a load of potatoes. What should she do? Should she let these Strange People from The Town go with her to find Boobo and end her vanity struggle?

This will be updated with a weirder story.

The setting is medieval.

http://rinkworks.com/fnovel/ - how many of these can we break?

Rules:

-No godmodding.
-No romances unless they are relevant to the story.
-Have it make some sense? Go for Terry Pratchett style - random and fun but still a good plot.
-No spoilers - Boobo can wait.
-Have fun.

Name: Sage

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Species: Magus (That's not really a specie...more like a class. Yep, a human who does magic. xD)

Location at Start: In the town jail for "insulting" the king

Personality: Overly fun-loving, tactless, endlessly optimistic, a little *very little* naive

History: Was born to a rich family, got an education but wasn't interested and preferred playing tricks on everyone, his tutor included. Eventually, his family died and he was left the entire estate and all the money in it. His power over his fiefdom is the only thing stopping the king from beheading the guy.

Goal: For the kicks.

Other: Is very freaky when he gets mad - he still smiles, but you get that incredibly bad feeling. Does not use his magic in battle; will only use them in strange moments and when he feels like it, so yes, he's absolutely useless in battle.

So. I'm not going to fill up the profile for Exodus again. ;)

Name: Terakulova (referred to as "Hey, you!" by Megatron)
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Species: One of Megatron's servants.
Location at Start: Megatron's palace in Omegle.
Personality: A gullible, submissive girl with extremely bad ideas that always lead to close death/close injury and someone else saving her.
History: Grew up as a spoiled only child with her parents in Russia, and was sold to Megatron's palace as a servant due to family's lack of money caused by broken copyright restrictions and bad grammar usage in front of the Russian Education and Grammar Minister – this happened on the era where everything was more important than the actual wellbeing of the public.
Goal: To find her family again and escape Megatron with a little help from the mysterious stranger (that later turns out to be Exodus) she saw in a dream.
Other: Likes eating, since gets little food in the palace and has "Today an eater, tomorrow a leader" (pronounced with an American accent so it rhymes) as a personal motto.

And thus we shall commence The Boobo Book.

Exodus

"So, like, we gotta find Boobo and--" the anvil came down "--OH MY GOD!"

The Wise Man was no longer wise, for he was squished. But he was not entirely dead, flat like a crumpled strawman among the terrace; his head moved a little beneath the weight of the anvil, and he looked out, longingly, towards the sunset, where little birds flecked like--

"Sorry to break your moment," said Exodus, "but what's Boobo?"

"I have just one thing to say to you."

"Hmm?"

"Never shout."

Exodus wiped at her face, and the tears slid down anyway. "I WASN'T SHOUTING! JUST TALKING IN CAPS!"

"And lose weight, Mass Exodus. Bye bye." And the Wise Man died.

#

She paced back through the town square, and let herself fall against the clock-tower. It was raining. Horizontal pellets that skipped past her face. People were watching her. She knew it. All of them. Faces.

Cummon and sit ere, they say. Sit ere wid me. We wont bite.

"Get away from me!" Exodus shouted, and at once regretted it. Now they really were looking at her. But she still had no idea who, or what, Boobo was. And she needed Boobo now. Right now.

"If only computers existed," she said. "I could make a poster. I am only a farmgirl, thirteen years of age to be precise, and so it came to pass that I, Exodus, dubbed Mass Exodus by the Wise Man, cannot afford such luxuries."

"It is true," said Gertrude, a dwarf-in-bath, as he hurried away into the distance, back to his forest.

"Right."

Edit: Exodus xD


"Eh? Who was that?" said Exodus out loud. She pondered about this for a long, long time. So long that the sack of potatoes hanging in her back were starting to get rather heavy.

"But not as heavy as you, Mass Exodus!"

Exodus startled. Was that indeed the voice of the wisest man in the town – Wise Man? Exodus pondered about this for a long, long time and came to the conclusion that it was indeed the voice of the wisest man in the town – Wise Man. How and why, since the jolly silver-bearded man had just got squished by an anvil, Exodus didn't know, but she had a faint feeling she would find out later in the story.

And since the potato sack was indeed getting very heavy, Exodus put it down for a while and decided that she would also discover the secret of Gertrude once the plot would improve a little.

"I am a very patient farmgirl," said Exodus. She liked listening to her own voice. "And patience is exactly what I need on the journey I am about to start – I mean, never mind."

Never minding, Exodus walked along the cobbled carriageway leading to her house. The mysterious Boobo didn't cross her mind until she realised she had left the potato sack in the city centre – I mean, the market place.

((Cool beans! I'll finish filling out this profile tonight when I get home from work))

Name: Gloria
Age: 50
Gender: female
Species: twenty foot long centipede. Currently in the form of an actractive young woman
Location at Start: napping under a haystack
Personality: Curious, friendly, helpful, and intelligent. Unless she's hungry, in which case she's completely crazed and will devour you.
History: Gloria the centipede was cursed by one of those wicked sorcerors you always hear about. You know, the ones that roam around cursing people for no good reason. The curse was that she would only have her true form during the night. During the day, she looks like a beautiful maiden. She hopes to break this curse so she won't be a ridiculous soft biped anymore.
Goal: She hears Boobo has the power to break curses like hers; hopefully this rumor is accurate.
Other: She retains her poisonous bite regardless of her form, and is able to talk in both forms as well.

The bigger the issue, the smaller you write. Remember that. You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying on the road. You pick the smallest manageable part of the big thing, and you work off the resonance.
