A dead man tells no tales... unless that man is FromtheDead (wow, that was bad even for me...)
...
I had multiple ideas for this one and decided to act on each of them.
My go at this week's Thursday Prompt. This week, the prompt was an entire story revolving around the prompt group members and can be found using either of the below two links. There were also two special challenges for this entry: 1) write your response in the first person, continuing the story from your own perspective 2) write with a maximum 5 page limit.

Per usual, please be sure to check
ThursdayPrompt for more.
Not trying to spoil anything about the prompt this week as it is a very fun read, but I was put in a very particular position for this one. I think I may have had a bit too much fun with the position that I was awarded...
I was trying to include as many prompters as I could while also keeping to a 5 page max, so I'm just going to shout out the few prompt members (that I'm aware of) that I didn't quite get to include here as well:

Quite a laugh. Yes, indeed, perhaps you have seen it in a dream. Uncle Helixstavaan and his axe swiggity von swoogity coming for that booty, dead men tell no tails.
But, I didn't do anything.
Fun story. Love your different results.
And again, I have snuck in, when I am not a member.

Haha! All great ideas, and happy to be included in one of them.
I love the idea that this was all just a plot to assimilate everyone into cyborgs. Would probably make us all more productive!
And the idea that this was all just a prank by you is very on-brand.

Thank you for trying to keep me calm and focused... but... he knows... H-he's coming to get us!! Pray you never are visited by Uncle Helixstvan!!
Well, maybe it's for the best my prank struck the only person with facial protection... I mean, it does basically put it's target into a coma when it latches onto someone's face.
Thank you much for looking over it, I appreciate it very much.

(Side note: The title reminded me of this funny Lego Pirates of the Carribiean stop motion video I saw, where Jack Sparrow is stopped by a skeleton who says, "Dead men tell no tales," And then Jack Sparrow replies, "Dead men tell no tales? You're a talking skeleton!")
As someone who plays Skyrim and loves the ridiculously complex web of lore involving/intangling it all, I am going to go with the "Dragon Break" concept for this and say that "All endings are equally valid depending on which path you choose!"
And those really WERE good potatoes...
And I choose the Helixstavaan path, because he's SCARY. * nodnod *

Given who started the story AND their inexplicable tardiness in said introduction, I feel that if we had to choose a canonical ending then it would likely be Celtic's move to turn everyone into robots... just my theory.
I'm glad you liked Dead's Writing Trauma route; when I first started writing for the prompt, Helix would pop in about every other post to point out where I went wrong... I think I may have been the catalyst to get him to finally instate Uncle Helixstvan as the authority of "correcting" poor writing...
Thank you very much for looking through this one, greatly appreciate it.

Having a sort of layered dream was my initial plan, but unfortunately, Vixyy wanted a max page limit on this one, so I kind of ran out of space. In the end, these are just unconnected scenarios that are meant to more or less just explain one potential outcome from the prompt story.
I had one more where some of the characters from my stories are revealed to be the cause of the incident and they leave the party with the ominous warning "they will be coming for the rest of you..." (supposedly insinuating that everyone's characters are out to get them).
Whether you enjoyed or not, I really appreciate you having read through it regardless, thank you for that.

Lesson learned... uhm, thanks for being such a good sport. Sorry about the slug mucous on your mask. I swear I was aiming for Kiyo (or literally anyone without a mask)!
I'm glad to hear to you enjoyed this silly mess, thank you very much for taking the time to go through it.

I'm very glad to hear you thought that went well: normally I'll check out Walt and Werty's submissions for the week (because the both of them are just really fast) to see what's already been done. I thought it'd be neat to include their perspectives the way that Neko does in the opening to his entry for this week. Plus, it helped finalize how the "prank" would work out because obviously someone's gonna try to slip the hood off while I'm otherwise unavailable.
Thank you much for looking through this one, I really appreciate it.

...how'd you guess that I talk a bit loud? (I actually do struggle with volume. It's a great asset for being a lector, but not so much for regular conversation.) And yes, chanting to chug and shrugging in innocence is very in-character for me.
But seriously, I would have cleaned up the cans myself. I do it enough IRL due to there being a bar next to my mother's office. I pray you never have to deal with cleaning up glass in the grass from some idiot's smashed bottle. The dust that settles in the divots in the concrete is bad enough, then there's the stray shards that go flying that you don't find until days later... Yet another reason why I choose to be sober to add to the list.

My amazement at how you tied all our crackpot stories into this is matched only by my disappointment when the Celtic assimilation story didn't continue. I was just getting into it, dammit :<
All jokes aside, this was wonderfully framed. There were lots of great bits, but by far my favorite was the two hoods. Reminds me of Russian Bucket Man in the absolute best way.
Wonderfully done <3

Query: this organic found amusement with Overlord Celtic's mission? Overlord Celtic, this unit may have discovered a potential sympathizer to the cause. Recommended action: observe and analyze before moving forward with assimilation. Current objective: engage in inconspicuous conversation:

Wow, am I commenting once more on a story more than a year old for the third time because I'm finally binge reading all the things I faved when I couldn't read them? Yes, yes I am.
An enjoyable read after so long, I do regret not being able to have partaken in this prompt looking back on it, though I still was just getting to know others.

You know you don't have to go through all this if you don't want to; nothing I post is really worth your time anyways. I do appreciate the thought all the same, so thanks much for that.
Also, there's no rule saying you can't travel back in time and kill me dead if you want to participate in this one. It was quite the riveting little mess Celtic had cooked up.

Dude, you gotta stop being so scrupulous all the time; you do great things here and there and even if it's on accident, it's still something you did.
I don't think I would wanna do that anymore now that I've come to know you; though it does give me an idea... *devious grin intensifies*
