"C'mon, big bucks, no whammies... I see you in that whammy costume, Thestatusquo! And..."

*presses button in front of him*

"Stop!"

[StrangerCoug]

"Ooh, boy, looks like

Jeopardy!

and

Press Your Luck

had a baby! Let's see here... I'd like 'How much is this?' for $200, please."

[StrangerCoug]

*looks at the gallows in worry, then gets back to his own game*

"I'll wager $250."

[StrangerCoug]

"I'll bid $100. No, wait, I think that's the wrong game. What is $100?"

[StrangerCoug]

"I think the car is $24,985. And I would like to press my luck!"

*shouts at board, ready to hit the button in front of himself*

[StrangerCoug]

"I'll press my luck, Nessie. And while I'm at it, hey Morgrem, mind helping me decide if I should go for the car?"

[StrangerCoug]

Say with a smile: "I'll go for the car, Nessie!"

[StrangerCoug]

"If I still can, I'll take Limited Choice for $200 please, Nessie."
*puts an O where How Much Is This? for $200 used to be*

[StrangerCoug]

*draws on the board to make it look like a football play diagram*
"Limited Choice for $400, please."

[StrangerCoug]

*help vonflare revive Nessie as best he can*

"You there, Nessie? I guess B. Reefer Sanity."

[StrangerCoug]

*demand that N also get a demerit for having someone search Nessie's pockets while she's unconscious*

[StrangerCoug]

*blush at Nessie not wearing anything*
"OK, where were we...? Let's keep going with Limited Choice for $600."

[StrangerCoug]

*erases the "football play diagram" so he can better read the question*
"I'm going to press my luck!"

[StrangerCoug]

*covers his ears and cusses out Ircher for pulling the fire alarm*

[StrangerCoug]

"I guess B, and I'm going to press my luck!"

*vacates the studio after getting whatever the result of his spin is*

[StrangerCoug]

*gets in his car and drives to a grocery store to buy some popcorn*

[StrangerCoug]

*mutters under his breath* $54 just for popcorn? What a ripoff!
*drives home to microwave some of the popcorn*

[StrangerCoug]

*updates the clan on what's going on in the game show as far as he knows and shares the popcorn with them when it's popped*

[StrangerCoug]

"Well, it was fun talking. I have to go back now and get ready for the next game."
*drives back to the studio and takes his spot back at his podium*
"Limited Choice for $600 is still there? Fair enough, since a correct answer for it was never revealed. Let's pick it again. If it's still the same question with the same answer choices, then use Phone a Friend to call Isabella."

[StrangerCoug]

"I will trust Isabella and say C."

[StrangerCoug]

*looks for a vending machine to buy a Coke*

[StrangerCoug]

*returns to the podium with the Coke, opens the can, and drinks from it occasionally as he resumes play*

"Limited Choice for $800, please."

[StrangerCoug]

"You know, it would make perfect sense if it were C, so I will guess C."

[StrangerCoug]

*check the people who were pushed over for vital signs*
"What the hell is with this crazy game?"

[StrangerCoug]

*gets hit by an egg* Hey!

[StrangerCoug]

*washes the egg off his face, then retaliates by going out into the parking slot and slashing all Thestatusquo's tires while the security guard isn't looking*

[StrangerCoug]

*bundles the matches together, lights them, and throws them into the gas tank of Thestatusquo's Sportster*
*walks away like nothing happened looking for the men's room*

[StrangerCoug]

*find the men's room to use it, then washes hands to return to my podium only to find somebody impersonating me there*
"Hey, who's the loser in the cheap, crappy cougar costume?"

[StrangerCoug]

*had earplugs in his pocket this time and puts them on in response to the alarm*

[StrangerCoug]

"Oh, we're a team now all of a sudden? OK, let's let one of the categories be Survey Results; this impostor can pick the other."
*waits for someone other than Ircher to notice that Thestatusquo's motorcycle is burning*

[StrangerCoug]

"Oh, we're a team now all of a sudden? OK, let's let one of the categories be Survey Results; this impostor can pick the other."

Mod: Ignore this part of my post; I'm not supposed to have heard Cat talking to Thestatusquo.

[StrangerCoug]

*goes out an emergency exit on the other side of the studio from the parking lot*
*frames Corn for starting the fire that has now spread to the studio*
*thinks to himself "Seriously, who names their kid Corn?"*

[StrangerCoug]

*does not know about the portal and looks at Mystic Sailboat as we stand outside*
"I guess the game is over..."

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: Please note sig.

[StrangerCoug]

*goes back inside the studio to his podium and does a check of his belongings*

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: Out of V/LA.

[StrangerCoug]

"Survey Results for $1,000, please."

[StrangerCoug]

*buzzes in*
"Your boss."

[StrangerCoug]

"I'll take School's In Forever for $600, Cat."

[StrangerCoug]

*realizes Nessie is going to get dizzy and finds her a trash can so she doesn't barf all over the floor*

[StrangerCoug]

"4.5 pieces per hour."

[StrangerCoug]

*starts feeling jealous about all the money Nessie has and plots his backstab*
"'How Much Is This?' for $400, Cat."

[StrangerCoug]

"I don't really think that candle is worth too much, relatively speaking. Maybe $40 at most."

*scribbles something down on a piece of paper under his podium as he speaks, keeping it secret from everyone*

[StrangerCoug]

"Hey, Corn, mind helping me out a bit with the prices here?"

*keeps Corn out of the secret plan and quietly tears his piece of paper with his secrets on it in half*

[StrangerCoug]

"We're going to have to try $38,725 for the price of the dragon."

*motions Chuck and Grumbly to come over to him and to try not to make too much noise*

[StrangerCoug]

"Let's go for it!"

*after finding out the result, take Chuck and Grumbly to a secret location in the studio where Nessie won't see any of the three*

*quietly to the children:* Oh, and don't let Nessie see you. She's trouble lately.

[StrangerCoug]

*quietly to Chuck and Grumbly:* OK, here's the plan. Nessie has been turning people into books. We need to stop her before it gets out of hand... well, unless the mooncows kill her first, but you get the idea. Plus I'm also a bit jealous of how much money she's gotten working. I mean, all the money we get has to be from answering questions correctly. Nessie can work and not know a damn thing about trivia—pardon my language there. I'm going to give each of you a scrap of paper, and I need each of you to do what it says on that paper. Oh, and burn the papers after you've read and understood them. I don't want any evidence of this plot to come back to me."

*give Chuck the half of the paper that tells him to promise to heal Nessie

if

she tells how to turn Corn and Barbara back into children... otherwise he is to let the mooncows kill her*

*give Grumbly the keys to his Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG the other half of the paper that says to steal Nessie's purse while she's distracted with Chuck and to lock it in the trunk of his car, making sure not to get caught by the guards, then to give the keys back*

[StrangerCoug]

*directs Chuck to keep the mooncows away from Nessie and do as she says while keeping the other part of the plot in action*

[StrangerCoug]

*follow the instructions Chuck relayed from Nessie to turn Corn back into a child*
"She got us the information we wanted, so continue to make sure Nessie gets healed. I will worry about the money."
*makes sure Nessie's coin pouch gets locked in his car trunk*

[StrangerCoug]

*keep Chuck on task getting Nessie healed while I worry about putting out the fire that's burning my car*
*thinks to self:* "Let's hope the money doesn't burn... I don't want something like the original Ocean's 11..."

[StrangerCoug]

Code: Select all

> Offer to sell Strngercoug his 'a' back for $500 and   their 'a' back for $12,725.

*sighs but accepts the offer, not thinking he's going to get it any cheaper in game show land*

[StrangerCoug]

*give up on healing Nessie and just leave her to burn*
"How much is this for $600, please."
*auto-answer whatever comes up*

[StrangerCoug]

*happily lets Thestatusquo have my negative money*
Sucker

[StrangerCoug]

*to Grumbly:* "I'll take it. Maybe it's enough to get me a new car..."
*secretly counts the money under his podium to see how much it is before pocketing it*

[StrangerCoug]

*hails a different taxi from the one N is riding and asks to go to a car dealership that hasn't been destroyed*

[StrangerCoug]

"I'll spin again, too."

[StrangerCoug]

$20,000, enough to make my cab fare back now that I've been zapped over here from the car lot.

[StrangerCoug]

*finds a wealthy politician vonflare hates and trick that person into being the someone else whose $1,000,000,000 is bet*

[StrangerCoug]

Spoiler: I write down this answer

What is the Light Brigade?

[StrangerCoug]

*thanks everyone and goes home*
