..... *stares at eklu menacingly and slaps him* I'm going to try and forget you said that.

I dunno yet if I will do it. Then again, I don't even know where or when it is!

Happy New Year everyone! I'll be partying, seeing as we will have to go back to school in 1 and a half days. O_o

Mmk. Eklu, don't anger me for no reason. Find a reason, THEN anger me. Makes the process easier.

Blarg, it's next Wednesday after school. Ask Madame Ketler bout it tomorrow, since the permission and the money need to be in THIS Wednesday. Oh, and Penn State blows.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The new year calls for a new signature!

I'm going to be using these posts that I have reserved to write my story for a contest. Thanks to Eklu for the idea.

This is the assignment:

Type: Comedy/Action

Characters: The stupid yet good King of Varrock, the leader and some underlings of an evil rebel group, the smart yet sort of bad adviser to the king, and a gnome. Place him where you wish.

Story: The King of Varrock is forced by his adviser to make a speech to start the beginning of a tournament, while the rebels plot to assassinate him.

I probably won't take suggestions unless they're REALLY good, and absolutely, without exception, NO BIOS! And any spelling/grammar mistakes you find, please report them to me in a POSITIVE WAY!

The story is entitled: Tournament Day (will take GOOD suggestions for other titles)

The King of Varrock, whose name was really Lauren, was squeezed for time. Lauren had good reason to be stressed. For the first time in years, his adviser said people wished him to make a speech. Not wanting to disappoint them, he was trying to coax a good speech out of his faithful writer gnome, Gougleg (GOW-gleg). However, it wasn't going all that well. So far all Gougleg could think of were speeches having to do with worms and frog's legs.

"Well Your Majesty, what about this?

My royal subjects! Today we are gathered here to watch a tournament of the best of Varrock. Before we begin, I would like to dedicate this speech to worms. However, even that would not be possible without the aid of frog's legs. These two delicacies are truly staples of civilized diet, so I would like us all to have a moment of silence in their honor-"

"Absolutely not, Gougleg! I've told you countless times, the tournament has nothing to do with those foods you keep mentioning! Besides, I'm not even sure they taste that good!" raved Lauren.

"Sorry Your Majesty. It's all I've been able to think about lately. I just haven't eaten worms and frog's legs for so long... I promise to do better sir!" said Gougleg.

"See to it that you do! Now, I need to go see Captain Rowmel (RWOW-mell) about security for the tournament." said Lauren. He then walked off to the barracks, but not just for the reason he mentioned. He heard his advisor was back, and he wanted to be somewhere he wouldn't dare go. Even though he was intelligent, somehow he still managed to be a complete fool. But, Lauren could not fire him, since he was the son of the Emir of Al-Kharid, and he did not want to provoke a war out of them. He had heard often enough the tales of the Kharidian Army'* exploits of the past, and had no desire for history to repeat itself.

Arriving at the barracks, Lauren's thoughts were interrupted. He didn't bother to knock, he was The King of Varrock, and just strolled on in.

In a different part of the city, away from the sparkling palace and shimmering Grand Fountain in Varrock Square, a troop of about fifteen figures, all cloaked in black with no apparent weapons, were going down a tunnel to a door set into a cave entrance. The guard at the door stopped them.

"Halt! This is the Phoenix Gang HQ. State your business or leave." said the guard. He had a bad feeling about the cloaked men, and especially the one in front, who had a blood red trim on his cloak.

"You will allow us in anyway. I don't care who is here now, because this place as of this moment belongs to me and my minions." spoke the man in the trimmed cloak.

The guard drew his sword and brandished it at the man in the trimmed cloak. "No! Now leave before I run you through!"

"Fool! You will die for your insolence!" spoke the man in the blood red trimmed cloak. There was a shimmer in the air, and all of a sudden a black knife was sticking out of the guard's throat. He tried to yell a warning to those Phoenix Gang members on the other side of the door, but all he managed to get out before he died were a few gurgles.

"Boss, did you have to kill him? I mean, he seemed like such a nice guy..." said a black cloaked minion. His cloak also had a trim on it, but it was a dark green.

"Yorig! I told you, I am in charge, not you! Just because you are my brother does not mean you can question my every decision!" fumed Boss.

"Sorry, it's just, you know, I'm not into the whole 'Let's kill innocent people for fun!' thing." replied Yorig, shrugging his shoulders as he spoke for emphasis.

"He wasn't and innocent person! He threatened me!" said Boss indignantly.

"That's because you threatened him! You know, I bet if you tried to be nice every once in a while, people wouldn't refuse you so much. A little courtesy can go a long way." said Yorig.

"No! You know that's not who I am! Now, I don't want to hear any more out of you!" said Boss.

Boss turned and stepped over the bloody corpse of the former guard. He drew a vial filled with a strange liquid out of his cloak. So did three other minions, who took up positions around the door. Two of the minions were on the left side, and Boss and another one were on the right. Yorig stepped up to the door, in a fighting stance.

"Initiate door breach!" shouted Boss. On the other side of the door some Phoenix Gang members stirred, and one yawned an imcomprehensible sentence.

Yorig kicked out at the door, and busted it off of it's hinges. Four vials flew into the room, and there were four explosions, and some fires started where a vial exploded by some crates. Boss stepped in, and speared a survivor by the door through the mouth with a black shortsword. He looked around, and saw a man with everything from the waist down blown off trying to crawl towards a bell pulley; apparently it was an alarm. A knife flashed through the air, and got the man in the back. He twitched once, twice, then died. On the other side of the cavern-room, a couple minions were using magic to put out the fires on the crates.

"Sir, area secure. What are your orders?" a minion with a blue trim on his cloak asked.

"Captain Ikoe (I-kooo), bring in our materials for our plot. Do it as quickly as possible, the sooner we have it done the longer we have to plan." replied Boss.

Captain Ikoe saluted, and left the cavern with three men to gather what they had hidden the day before outside the entrance. When they returned, the others had gone through the crates and had found jewels, gold, crossbows, and iron weapons with matching armor. The collection troops was given their cut of the loot, and then set-up the makeshift command center.

Boss, Yorig, and Ikoe all sat down to discuss their next move.

"Well sir, the tournament is coming up soon. Our agents have managed to influence the populace enough to force the adviser to The King advise him to speak." said Ikoe.

"Good. So then, are things in motion so that we may act as previously agreed upon?" mused Boss.

"Yup. The assasin team is ready, and the rest of the men are prepared to take out any guards around The King when we are ready to strike. I still think this is a bad idea. I mean, the poor King never did anything against us." said Yorig.

"Yes he did! He's opressing us! The very fact we even HAVE a King should be enough proof to you that he needs to go! And once he's dead, I will be elected President of Varrock, and 'defend' our city from the evils of Al-Kharid and Lumbridge, and then I will be ruler of those too! Imagine my fellows, three of the most powerful places in all of Gielinor will be ours!" monologued Boss.

Yorig had fallen asleep until Boss slapped him the back of the head. "Now we need to focus! The tournament is in two days, and I want this to go off without a hitch!" Boss said. Everyone at the table got up, and went about their remaing duties.

Lauren had chosen the entrance on the sleeping quarters' side. Several soldiers who worked the night shift were asleep in their bunks, the weapons and armor used to perform their job were laid out neatly, and more importantly, in a way that allowed them to quickly equip themselves with it. Lauren went down the aisle leading straight as an arrow between the rows of bunks. He arrived at another door, and proceeded through it, into a lavatory. This was empty, thankfully, for Lauren did not want anyone besides himself and Captain Rowmel to know about what he did next. On his left were six toilets, and he walked over to the fifth one farthest from the door, and lifted it up. There was a trapdoor underneath, that Lauren went down into a long corridor, leading to a ladder. He walked to it and climbed it up into a closet containing cleaning supplies. He left it, and stepped into another corridor. There was a door on the right. He entered it.

"Ah, good day Your Majesty!" greeted Rowmel.

"Hello Cap-i-tan-o! How goes it dude?" greeted Lauren, and high-fived the hand offered to him.

"It goes well sir! I'm pleased to report that your security matters are already taken care of. I have your best and most loyal troops briefed and ready for the job ahead of them. They know exactly where to be down to the last inch. Your life could not be in better hands Your Majesty, if I do say so myself." reported Captain Rowmel.

"Thank you Captain! Well, I was kind of, you know, expecting to actually discuss this with you. But, since you have it all taken care of, I'm going to go mock that Zamorakian we imprisoned before I go back to planning my speech." said The King of Varrock, as if it was something he did everyday. He pretty much did.

"Very well sir. See you at the tournament!" said Rowmel with a smile.

The King proceeded back to the main castle, and went to the main doors. The guards there snapped to attention, until Lauren put them back at ease by commanding them to do so. He went to the cell, or, more accurately, the cage, that held the Zamorakian.

"Haha, you evil slimeball! You were captured by the city drunk! Your red cloak is so dirty from being locked in there without a toilet for three days it's brown around your bottom! Hahaha, you silly fool, you should have devoted your life to the glory of Saradomin like every other person with any sense! Hahahahaha!" Lauren taunted. This went on for hours. The Zamorakian did not speak, for he knew that the moment he did The King would summon a guard to stab him in the foot. Instead he contented himself to glare at Lauren.

***

The next day, King Lauren and Gougleg were back at the speech making. They weren't making any progress, for even though Gougleg managed to drop the worm obsession, he still had the frog's legs passion. Eventually The King decided to just wing it at the speech, rather than deal with the tiresome gnome any longer.
