Suddenly, a grotesque mound of flesh covered with sores and blisters approached Peter. Frankly, he was rather disgusted by the... thing as it bubbled towards, pus oozing from its open sores and onto the ground.\n\n"What the hell are you?" Peter asked in a manner that one certainly wouldn't call polite. "Ha ha," replied the grotesque being. "I... am MISTER BLISTER! And it is I who is responsible for this chaos! Ha ha!"\n\n"You vile creature!” screamed Peter. “How could you do this? Why would you do this? Look around you! People are dying! Humans weren't made to survive on beetroot!"\n\n"Precisely the point!” exclaimed Mister Blister. "I hate humanity. Despise them and their skin that isn't one hundred percent flawed like mine! So, I decided to make them extinct. How? SIMPLE! With beetroot the only food, humanity will be driven to cannibalism! Then I’ll use my powers to cover them in blisters, making them all too grossed out to eat other! Then it will only be a matter of time before they all starve! Ha ha!”\n\n"What about people who like beetroot?" asked Peter. Now, most people would believe that no such person could exist, but Peter actually dated a girl who loved the vegetable. It would be the cause of much friction in their short relationship.\n\n"Ha ha!" responded the pus prince. "Obviously they would kill each other in frenzied battles, because only the completely insane enjoy eating beetroot!"\n\nPeter had to concede that this was a good point. His ex-girlfriend did try to shave off his eyebrows while he was asleep, after all.\n\n"Well, guess what. I'm not going to let you get away with this."\n\n"Ha ha! And what are you going to do about it? Ha ha!"\n\n<<display 'PP3'>>
Suddenly, a grotesque mound of flesh covered with sores and blisters approached Gavin. "Ha ha," exclaimed this mysterious being. "So this is all that is left to stand against me? A sloth? Ha ha! I knew humans were weak, but not so much to send a helpless animal to fight their battles! Ha ha!" The life form bubbled as pus oozed from its open sores and onto the ground.\n\n"I... am MISTER BLISTER! And it is I who is responsible for this chaos! I suppose you wish to know my motives?"\n\nGavin replied with a nonchalant gaze.\n\n"Well, I'm going to tell you anyway! I hate humanity. Despise them and their skin that isn't one hundred percent flawed like mine! So, I decided to make them extinct. How? SIMPLE! With beetroot the only food, humanity will be driven to cannibalism! Then I’ll use my powers to cover them in blisters, making them all too grossed out to eat other! Then it will only be a matter of time before they all starve!

Suddenly, a grotesque mound of flesh covered with sores and blisters approached Pac-Man. It didn't disturb Pac-Man as much as it would someone else. After all, he'd seen all sorts of things during his ghost hunting years.\n\n"I... am MISTER BLISTER!" said the creature, politely introducing itself. "And it is I who is responsible for this chaos! Ha ha!"\n\n"You vile creature!” screamed Pac-Man. “How could you do this? Why would you do this? Look around you! People are dying!

Pac-Man stepped onto his Pac-Scales with cautious optimism. It proved wise to be cautious, because he was still rather overweight. \n\nHe suspected it had something to do with the diet pills he had been taking. After all, he was overweight due to his habit of eating massive amounts of pills, so this particular method of controlling is eating frankly seemed a little counter-productive.\n\nHe sighed. His weight wasn’t actually the problem. In fact, he felt that he made it look good. It was the pills. The pills were the problem. He was addicted. If he saw pills, he had to gobble them down. Paracetamol, birth control, you name it. The only other things he would eat was fruit, and occasionally keys.\n\nPac-Man suspected his odd addiction was why his career had taken a turn for the worse, the media now focusing their attention on Pitfall Harry.\n\nPac-Man hated Pitfall Harry.\n\nHe slumped onto his Pac-Couch. Things just weren't going his way. His fifteen minutes of fame was over, his ghost hunting business was in the toilet, and his wife left him and took their child with her.\n\n"Woo-woo-woo," was all Pac-Man could say in response to his predicament.\n\nHe laid down for a Pac-Nap, but found it difficult to get to sleep due to the sudden ruckus outside of his Pac-House.\n\n[[Pac-Man decided to see what all the hubbub was about.|PC1]]\n[[Pac-Man decided to take a sleeping pill to counter the noise.|PC2]]
Gavin decided he’d had enough of whatever this nonsense was, and took a good hard swipe at the Comfy Cuddler! \n\nOf course, since it's nothing more than a cloud of gas (albeit a sentient one), Gavin's claws went right through it.\n\n"Now, now! There is no need for that behaviour!” claimed the Comfy Cuddler. “What you need is a good cuddle!"\n\nThe gas enveloped Gavin, causing his agitation to subside and quickly send him to sleep! With its work done here, the Comfy Cuddler moved on to wreak havoc on the rest of the world with its cuddles.\n\nEven when he woke up, Gavin wasn't too fussed about this.\n\nBecause, Gavin?\n\nGavin is a sloth.\n<html><center><h3>THE END</h3></html>\n[[Restart this story!|slothIntro]]

Pus started to erupt from Mister Blister's open wounds, showering the surrounding buildings in what was a rather disgusting display! As the pus exploded from Mister Blister’s bloated body, he deflated until he was nothing more than a pile of rather nasty flesh on the ground.

Gavin continued to sit in the middle of his luxury New York apartment, feeling rather nonplussed about the whole situation.\n\nOutside he could hear screams, explosions, sirens and all the other sounds one associates with the apocalypse.

Gavin climbed out through his apartment window and plopped himself onto the streets below, which were now flooded with panic. It soon became clear that it was due to a sudden lack of food worldwide. Well, a lack of food with the exception of beetroot, but that hardly counts as a food.\n\nBut who made it happen? How did it happen? When did it happen? Where did it happen? Which did it happen?\n\nActually, let's just focus on the first one.\n\n<<if $blister eq 1>><<display 'blist2'>><<endif>><<if $yorke eq 1>><<display 'yorke2'>><<endif>><<if $comfy eq 1>><<display 'comfy2'>><<endif>>
Suddenly, a large amount of fog appeared to the north. A shadow emerged from these mists, revealing it to be none other than a small ginger-haired chap named Thom Yorke. Dressed in a garment created out of garbage bags and banana peels (which he would occasionally strip off and smoke) and with pitch black swimming goggles over his eyes, he was armed with a synthesiser embedded into his chest. Occasionally he would program it to make helicopter sounds and then aggressively spin his body around with his arms mimicking blades, until he collapsed and vomited on his own back.\n\nHe suddenly walked into a wall and quickly apologised to it, before slamming into a pole. After orientating himself, he looked squarely at Peter with an evil smirk. It was clear he was behind this chaos.\n\nPeter was furious, disgusted by Yorke’s heinous acts! "You're a creep, Yorke! You're a weirdo! What the hell are you doing here? You don't belong here!" Yorke didn't even flinch, continuing to smirk wildly while rolling his one eye that wasn't lazy (in fact, it held a part-time job at Wal-Mart). \n\n"I want to recreate the world in my image," replied Yorke. "For all the world to be as dull and drab as the music I create. This is why I made beetroot the only food on the planet. It mirrors my music perfectly."\n\nThe sky had become filled with dark clouds, making the confrontation ever so dramatic. Rain even started to pour, making the pitter patter of little rain feet plodding on the ground the only thing anyone could hear. The only conceivable way things could have been more dramatic would have been if John Williams composed the score, but tragically, he was killed after Thom Yorke stabbed him with a large building.\n\n"I'm not going to let you get away with this, you bastard!" Peter screamed!\n\n<<display 'PP3A'>>

Last Minute
Peter frowned. Once a great origami master, he vowed to never practice the art again after it once led to him burning down an orphanage in a freak accident. But the world needed his skills again.\n\nThe world needed the Perferator again.\n\nHe took some paper and carefully folded it into a fully functioning vacuum cleaner and attacked the Comfy Cuddler with it! \n\n"This one's in the bag!" he said as the gas shot up the snout. Just before the Comfy Cuddler was entirely trapped in the bag, Peter heared it whisper "All I wanted was to love... and be loved."\n\nAnd then... there was silence.\n\nPeter paused for a moment of reflection. Perhaps the Comfy Cuddler was just misunderstood? Maybe shooting the vacuum bag out of a cannon and into the sun wasn't the best course of action after all?\n\nPeter smiled. No. There was something much better.\n\nPeter wandered over to the local animal shelter and released the Comfy Cuddler into a room full of puppies. They immediately and repeatedly jumped excitedly through the gas cloud, it giggling with glee as it cuddled them all silly! The Comfy Cuddler turned (as much as a gas cloud can turn) to Peter.\n\n"Thank you."\n\nThe Perferator had saved the world and a lost soul. Finally, Peter Paper could stop feeling guilty. He could finally move on.\n\nHe never drank another Gold Rush.\n<html><center><h3>THE END</h3></html>\n[[Restart this story!|paperIntro]]
Pac-Man gulped down a handful of random pills. Suddenly, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame arrived on the scene, armed with a powerful weapon! And by powerful weapon, I mean a guitar. And by a guitar, I mean a Gibson 71 with a flying pickup.\n\nHe, of course, also had an amp, and all the necessary pedals and cabling. "Hold on, just one minute," mumbled Corgan.

Pac-Man chugged down a few iron supplement pills, turning his fists into cold, hard metal! \n\nHe took a swing at Yorke, who quickly jumped out of the way! Yorke set his synthensiser from cow bell... to KILL and fired a shockwave at Pac-Man, causing the arcade hero to sway back and forth for a moment before collapsing to the ground!\n\nSuddenly, Dig Dug appeared and rushed to Pac-Man's side, cradling him in his arms. "You bastard, Yorke! Look what you've done to him!"\n\nPac-Man's eyes were rolled towards the back of his head, and blood spurted from his mouth. "Stay with me, Pac!" Dig Dug pleaded as he shook Pac-Man's limp body. "Don't you dare leave me, man!" Tears rolled down from Dig Dug's face and onto Pac-Man, who felt nothing.\n\nDig Dug refused to give up. "You've spent your whole life fighting ghosts, Pac! You can't let yourself become one! Not like this!"\n\nYorke hasitly waddled over to Dig Dug and kicked him right in the head. Dig Dug stumbled to get back up, dazed and confused, struggling to see his surroundings. "This is it," he thought to himself. "I've dugged my last dig."\n\nYorke smiled in a very evil and sinister way. "Time to crush you like a lotus flower." Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around.\n\n"Sythensise THIS!" said Pac-Man, as he punched Yorke right in the chest and sent him flying across the street where he died in a fiery explosion. "Pac! You made it!" exclaimed Dig Dug. Pac-Man struck a manly pose while saying "You think I'd miss this party?"\n\n"What now, Pac?

Gavin decided that it was the perfect time to have a little lie down, and proceeded to do so. Oh my goody goodness, did he look ever so adorable!\n\n"Ha ha! As I thought!

Pac-Man stuffed a couple of Pac-Earplugs into his Pac-Ears and followed this up by gulping down a couple of sleeping pills. The noise from outside faded as he slowly drifted off to sleep.\n\nHe dreamed he was with his family, on an island floating over an empty city. There were no ghosts, there was no fame and there were no pills.\n\nIn his dreams, Pac-Man was happy.\n\nWhen he woke, he noticed the apocalypse had begun.\n\nHe really couldn't catch a break.\n<html><center><h3>THE END</h3></html>\n[[Restart this story!|pacmanIntro]]
Pac-Man quickly donned some Pac-Pants and rushed out of his Pac-Door and onto the streets, which were now flooded with panic. It soon became clear that it was due to a sudden lack of food worldwide. Well, a lack of food with the exception of beetroot, but that hardly counts as a food.\n\nBut who made it happen? How did it happen? When did it happen? Where did it happen? Which did it happen?\n\nActually, let's just focus on the first one.\n\n<<if $blister eq 1>><<display 'blist3'>><<endif>><<if $yorke eq 1>><<display 'yorke3'>><<endif>><<if $comfy eq 1>><<display 'comfy3'>><<endif>>
Peter frowned. Once a great origami master, he vowed to never practice the art again after it once led to him burning down an orphanage in a freak accident. But the world needed his skills again.\n\nThe world needed the Perferator again.\n\nHe took some paper and carefully folded it into an ice pick and attacked the Comfy Cuddler with it! \n\nOf course, since the Comfy Cuddler is a little more than a cloud of gas (albeit a sentient one), the ice pick ends up flying harmlessly right through it.\n\n"Oh, you poor fellow," whispered the Comfy Cuddler. "I know what will calm you down. A good, hard cuddle!"\n\nThe gas enveloped Peter, causing him to fill up with all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings! He quickly becomes so peaceful that he nods right off to sleep. Tragically, for dramatic purposes a rock was placed in an unfortunate position.

I take a gander at the shelf and see a birthday card a high school friend gave me many years ago. She's one of the very few people from that era of my life who I vividly remember, and that's only because she once accidentally set my hair on fire.\n\nI’m glad I have little memory of those days. It was back before I blossomed into the dapper chap I am today. In fact, back then I somehow ended up with the nickname "sloth." I would probably embrace it these days, because sloths are damn adorable.\n\nWait... a sloth... what a heroic figure! What could be more perfect?\n\n[[Nothing!|S2]]\n[[Anything!|hero]]

"I'm sorry Gavin. It just isn't working out. You're real cute and all, but you're also lazy, unemployed and emotionally distant. Furthermore, you're a sloth."\n\nThis was all true and Gavin didn't deny it. This is primarily because, as a sloth, Gavin didn't really comprehend the situation and just stared at his soon to be ex-girlfriend with indifference. \n\n"See! This is exactly what I'm talking about! I'm sorry Gavin. It's over." She walked out of the door, and by extension, Gavin's life.\n\nIt is a bit of a mystery as to how a sloth came to date Portuguese supermodel Seios Grandes in the first place. They originally met at a charity auction for sufferers of paraesthesia (also known as "pins and needles"), where Gavin won an airsickness bag that was once famously used by Marilyn Munroe with a bid of eight hundred thousand dollars. \n\nHow a sloth managed to become invited to such an event, bid on such an item and obtain such an amount of money was also a mystery, which is exactly what attracted Seios to him. He was a sloth of mystery. Plus, he was incredibly cute.\n\nBut over time mysteries will fade and all that was left was his cuteness which apparently wasn't enough to sustain a healthy relationship.\n\nGavin sat in the middle of his luxury New York apartment, feeling rather nonplussed about the whole situation.\n\n[[Gavin went outside.|G1]]\n[[Gavin stayed in his apartment.|G2]]
Suddenly, every person towards the end of street fell to the ground and into a slumber, a smile dotted on each of their faces. Gavin didn't find this particularly unusual because, as a sloth, he spent quite a lot of his time sleeping. He was, however, vaguely curious about the life form that appeared to be made out of a mysterious gas floating towards him.\n\n"Oh my goodness, would you just look at you!" began the being. "So adorable! I could just cuddle you all up! Oh! Where are my manners. Allow me to introduce myself!"\n\nThe creature cleared it's throat even though it didn't appear to have one. “I’m known as the Comfy Cuddler, and boy howdy, do I ever love cuddling! So much so that I want to cuddle everyone... in the entire world! And when is the time people most want to cuddle?" \n\nGavin responded with a nonchalant stare.\n\n"Why, when there’s something to panic about! So I made beetroot the only food source, causing a worldwide panic and ensuring no one will be stable! That's when I come in to spread my cuddles around the world and make them feel like everything is okay! It's going to be all rather lovely. What do you think about this?"\n\n<<display 'G3B'>>
Suddenly, every person towards the end of street fell to the ground and into a slumber, a smile dotted on each of their faces. A life form that appeared to be made out of a mysterious gas floated past the nappers and approached Pac-Man.\n\n“Hi there!” it said in a surprisingly friendly tone. “I’m known as the Comfy Cuddler! I see that you’re admiring my work here!”\n\n“You? You did this? Why?” Pac-Man asked in a less friendly tone.\n\n"It’s pretty simple, my good fellow!” began the Comfy Cuddler. “I love cuddling! So much so that I want to cuddle everyone... in the entire world! And when is the time when people most want to cuddle?" \n\n"During storms?" responded Pac-Man.\n\n"Yes, but also when there’s something to panic about! So I made beetroot the only food source, causing a worldwide panic and ensuring no one will be stable! That's when I come in to spread my cuddles around the world and make them feel like everything is okay! It's going to be all rather lovely."\n\nAll this talk of cuddles led Pac-Man to reminisce about his wife. Well, he supposed she was now his ex-wife. Oh, how he missed her. She was the only pacson that understood him. The only pacson who knew exactly how to make him smile. And now she was gone.\n\nNo. No, he had to stay focused. He had to do something about this creature before it caused the fall of society.\n\n[[Pac-Man chugged a caffeine pill.|PC6A]]\n[[Pac-Man consumed an iron supplement pill.|PC6B]]\n[[Pac-Man gulped a random pill.|PC6C]]

That's when I come in to spread my cuddles around the world and make them feel like everything is okay! It's going to be all rather lovely."\n\n"This is madness!" screamed Peter. "With everyone in either a state of complete panic or complete blissfulness, society will collapse!"\n\n"Perhaps, but think of all those warm, fuzzy cuddles!"\n\n"No. No, I will not think of all those warm, fuzzy cuddles. Instead, I am going to destroy you.”\n\n<<display 'PP3B'>>
Peter frowned. Once a great origami master, he vowed to never practice the art again after it once led to him burning down an orphanage in a freak accident.

Really, one has to wonder what Peter was thinking when he made this thing. “Well,” said Peter rather sheepishly. “That plan sure... sucked.”\n\nIn retaliation to this sudden and unwanted cleansing, Yorke cranked his synthesiser into overdrive, shattering all the windows in the surrounding buildings, and also Peter’s skull.\n\nWith the Perferator out of the way, Yorke went on to rebuild the world in his image with ease.\n<html><center><h3>THE END</h3></html>\n[[Restart this story!|paperIntro]]
I begin to wander over to the shelf, only to fall flat on my face. This is primarily due to the massive blister on my foot from running ever so hard (and also while wearing inappropriate shoes.

From distance came a distinct ringing sound. It was the phone ringing. Domino searched desperately for the phone, but it was nowhere to be found! "Yo, RA! Where the mother fuck you put the phone, man?" "Do you mind? I'm trying to watch the football!" My foot is going to kick yo balls if you don't help me find the fucking phone, bitch! I don't care if the sun DOES shine out yo fat ass" "I don't have time for this! I bet both my staff and scarab! I need to watch the game and see if I need to curse the other team!" "yo my staff is about to slap yo across the face, bitch." "why is it so important anyway? it will just be a telemarketer trying to sell us some more locusts!" "it might be my mother, man!" "Fiinneee"\n\nBasti was a german fellow who was into all sort of disgusting sexual perversions that I will not enumerate here, for the sake of the reader and also for the writer. \n\nHe was also visibly pleased with RAs birdlike appearance. It was a very awkward thing to narrate.\n\nPeople were gathering around him in a perfect circle, yelling and sneering. People were pointing at him and saying things like, "You can't play, Rudy! You're too damn small! You'll break! You can't do it!" People from all races and creeds had united to express a lack of confidence in him due to his small stature.\n\nRudy woke up in a cold sweat. No one ever believed in him. He reached for the glass of water he kept on his nightstand and downed the whole thing in one gulp. They didn't believe he could play football for Notre Dame due to his size, but he proved them wrong. Before that, they didn't think he could learn to play the piano without being able to reach an octave, but he proved them wrong. And before that, they didn't think he could learn to read, but he proved them wrong too. People were such dicks to him. Fuck limitations. Rudy was so pissed off he broke his water glass in his fist.\n\nRudy would never be able to sleep again. \n\nNo, damn it. He WOULD sleep. Fuck limitations.\n\nWell, actually, that smell was pretty typical for every Sperm Bank branch in the galaxy, since each one was built inside the belly of a mighty sperm whale right before it was fitted with breathing apparatus and immediately hurled into outer space. The shareholders were pissed at the direction the company was heading, that's for sure.
Gavin decided that it was the perfect time to have a little lie down, and proceeded to do so. Oh my goody goodness, did he look ever so adorable!\n\n"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" ejaculated the Comfy Cuddler. "You're so cute! I'm going to cuddle you up all up!"\n\nThe gas enveloped Gavin, but it seemed to have little effect on him. He just sat there, looking incredibly "chill" as the kids say today.\n\n"Argh! My cuddling powers seem weak against you! You're just so... so... RELAXED!" The Comfy Cuddler tried to express anger and frustration as much as a floating cloud of gas could, which apparently is not much.\n\n"Looks like I'll have to go into overdrive!" The Comfy Cuddler started to vibrate violently and made a noise similar to what one would make while having trouble on the toilet, before it suddenly disintegrated!\n\nIt would seem that it had continuously pumped cuddle power through itself until it accidentally self-destructed.\n\nGavin didn't realise just how close the human race was to annihilation that day. Well, he wasn't really capable of realising it.

The sky had become filled with dark clouds, so everything was really very dark and dramatic. So dramatic, that it was even raining and the only thing anyone could hear was thunder and the pitter patter of little rain feet plodding on the ground. The only thing that could make it more dramatic was if John Williams was doing the score, but tragically, he was killed after Thom Yorke stabbed him with a large building.\n\nPac-Man and Yorke faced each other, in a very dramatic way to go with the previously set mood. Pac-Man was furious, disgusted with Yorkes henious acts! "You're a creep, Yorke! You're a weirdo! What the hell are you doing here?? You don't fucking belong here, Yorke!!" Yorke didn't even flinch and just smirked and rolled his eye that wasn't lazy and even had a full-time job working at a hotdog factory.\n\n "mmmurmimspecialnowuurrmmmsofuckingspecial" mumbled Yorke. "And for what, Yorke, for what? All of this was just to give your life meaning? To destory the meaning of everyone elses lives and infect them with the Pacman Fever? And look what you've done to HIM!"\n\nAP kneeled beside Pacman, who was lying on the ground close to death. His eyes were in the back of his head, and blood and vomit and something that looked suspiciously like semen was spurting from his mouth "Stay with me, Pacman!" AP pleaded as he shook pacmans limp body, "don't you fucking leave me, man!" a tear rolled down from APs face and onto pacmans face, who felt nothing.\n\nYorke suddenly started having epelictic spasms and screamed\n\nthere's nothing you can do!!!\nthere's nothing you can do!!!\nthere's nothing you can do!!!\nthere's nothing you can do!!!\nthere's nothing you can do!!!\nthere's nothing you can do!!!\neskimo in the boiler room!!!\nthere's nothing you can do!!!\n\nAP refused to give up.

AP stumbled to get back up, and felt his ass only to discover a hole there! I mean, one apart from the pooping one. "FUCK!" AP said to himself, "the rain has made me all soggy! I don't stand a chance!" \n\nYorke smiled in a very evil and sinister way, the way Dick Cheney does especially while rebuilding his cheese hair. Yorke striped his chest bare, revealing the synthensiser embedded there. He set it from irritating beeping... to MURDER. "SAY GOODBYE, CHUBBY" he screamed, as he reached for the on button. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned around.\n\n"Sythensise THIS!" said Pacman, as he punched Yorke right in the chest and sent him flying across the field. "Pacman! you made it!" Pacman struck a manly pose and said "You think i'd miss this party?"\n
The first thing that catches my eye is a Radiohead album that an ex-girlfriend lent me. It was an unsuccesful attempt to convince me that the band actually ISN'T terribly dull. She ended up breaking up with me, but not because of that.

Pac-Man munched down a couple of caffeine pills which, for some reason, he took in place of antidepressants. \n\nHe suddenly found himself full of energy. Energy... and a blinding rage! He leapt onto Mister Blister and ripped apart the creature’s flesh with his bare hands as the grotesque beast screamed in agony. Like this: “Ahhhoohhhaahhhhoohah!” Pac-Man even tore off flesh using only his teeth! Nasty.\n\nOnce the caffeine high wore off, Pac-Man got off the defeated Mister Blister and gazed at the moaning pile of flesh that lay before him.\n \n"What have I become?" Pac-Man thought to himself. "I'm no less a monster than Mister Blister."\n\nSatisfied that he had saved the world, Pac-Man decided it was time to save himself.

Come back, Pacman, don't let them win! Don't let Yorke win!"\n\n"TIME'S UP TIME'S UP TIME'S UP!!!", screamed yorke. He hasitly waddled over to AP and kicked him right in his chubby ol' ass. AP stumbled to get back up, and felt his ass only to discover a hole there! I mean, one apart from the pooping one. "FUCK!" AP said to himself, "the rain has made me all soggy! I don't stand a chance!" \n\nYorke smiled in a very evil and sinister way, the way Dick Cheney does especially while rebuilding his cheese hair. Yorke striped his chest bare, revealing the synthensiser embedded there. He set it from irritating beeping... to MURDER. "SAY GOODBYE, CHUBBY" he screamed, as he reached for the on button. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned around.\n\n"Sythensise THIS!" said Pacman, as he punched Yorke right in the chest and sent him flying across the field. "Pacman! you made it!" Pacman struck a manly pose and said "You think i'd miss this party?"
Time to think of a conflict! Maybe eating a snack will help me come up with ideas.\n\nHm, on my desk there's a slightly nibbled "Aussie Burger" which consists of a beef patty, tomato, lettuce, onion, cheese, bacon, egg, tomato sauce (or “ketchup”) and BEETROOT, EW, NASTY.\n\nMy reaction to the latter ingredient may have hinted that it's the reason the burger is only slightly nibbled. I somehow managed to forget beetroot is in this particular variety of burger when I purchased it, and oh my goodness is it ever disgusting.\n\nNow, I don't mean to offend any beetroot fans out there, but they're all scum. How can any good person enjoy something that tastes like dirt!\n\n[[Take the beetroot out.|D2A]]\n\n
Ever since the dawn of man (and woman), we have gazed into the night sky and asked ourselves impossible questions: Who are we? Why are we here? Is Orion naked? Exactly how buff is he? Does he shave "downtown?" Is he even of age? Does it really matter? But none of these questions are as boring as "Is there a God up there?"\n\nPeter Paper didn't wonder about any of these questions. He was too stricken with guilt. Guilt that he tried to drown with alcohol, but tragically it would seem his guilt could swim.\n\n"So what shall it be, sir?" asked Alloysius K. Sterngrofferstein. He was a respectable middle-aged bartender and the proprietor of this particular establishment known as Ye Olde Horse-Drawn Carriage. As a child, Alloysius only had two interests. Civil War history, and bartending.\n\n"I'll have a Whiskey Seven," replied Peter.\n\n"That beverage is made with Seven-Up. You should know by now that Seven-Up was not invented until 1929, and as such we carry none, since Ye Old Horse-Drawn Carriage is an 1860s themed bar." Peter sighed and ordered the only drink on the menu he could stand, the Gold Rush.\n\nWhile it did not have any actual gold in it, or even fool's gold, the Gold Rush was a very gold beverage. Anyone can make a Gold Rush by simply pouring even quantities of rum and melted butter into a mug and stirring. It was the sort of beverage sober people loved in very small quantities, and drunk people loved in very large quantities.\n\nSuddenly, a huge ruckus could be heard from outside.\n\n[[Peter ignored it and drank another Gold Rush.|PP1]]\n[[Peter went outside to investigate.|PP2]]

Peter dramatically burst onto the streets, which were now flooded with panic. It soon became clear that it was due to a sudden lack of food worldwide. Well, a lack of food with the exception of beetroot, but that hardly counts as a food.\n\nBut who made it happen? How did it happen? When did it happen? Where did it happen? Which did it happen?\n\nActually, let's just focus on the first one.\n\n<<if $blister eq 1>><<display 'blist1'>><<endif>><<if $yorke eq 1>><<display 'yorke1'>><<endif>><<if $comfy eq 1>><<display 'comfy1'>><<endif>>
Peter decided to ignore the noise coming from outside and to also ignore his doctor's advice to watch his cholesterol intake.\n\nSee, Peter had tried to drown his guilt with quite a few buttery Gold Rushes. Considerably too many, in fact, and he continued to chug ‘em down. Alloysius advised him to stop after he noticed that Peter had started to sweat butter, but Peter just demanded more.\n\nEventually the chaos from outside broke into the bar, setting it ablaze. Everyone inside managed to safely escape. Well, all except for poor Peter who, by that point, was 98% butter and melted.\n<html><center><h3>THE END</h3></html>\n[[Restart this story!|paperIntro]]
Peter frowned. Once a great origami master, he vowed to never practice the art again after it once led to him burning down an orphanage in a freak accident. But the world needed his skills again.\n\nThe world needed the Perferator again.\n\n"Time to give you a good beating," Peter said casually.\n\nHe took some paper and carefully folded it into an egg beater and whirled it into Mister Blister’s bloated body!\n\n"Ha ha! Feel free to beat me off all you like!" boasted the grotesque creature! The beater became caught in Blister's skin, which slowly enveloped it, along with Peter! He was quicily entirely swallowed by the fleshy mound, and drowns in the pus bubbling inside. \n\nWhat a rotten way to die!\n<html><center><h3>THE END</h3></html>\n[[Restart this story!|paperIntro]]

Peter asked casually.\n\nHe took some paper and carefully folded it into an ice pick, and slammed it into Mister Blister! \n\nThe grotesque creature screamed in agony, like this: “Ahhhoohhhaahhhhoohah!”\n\nPeter pulled out the pick, causing pus to violently erupt from the wound, showering the surrounding buildings in what was a rather revolting display! As the pus emptied from his body, Mister Blister slowly deflated until he was nothing more than a disgusting pile of flesh lying in the middle of the street!\n\nThe nightmare was over. The Perferator had saved the world. Finally, Peter Paper could stop feeling guilty. He could finally move on.\n\nHe never drank another Gold Rush.\n<html><center><h3>THE END</h3></html>\n[[Restart this story!|paperIntro]]

But the world needed his skills again.\n\nThe world needed the Perferator again.\n\n"Time to take you to cleaners," Peter said casually.\n\nHe took some paper and carefully folded it into a fully functioning vacuum cleaner and attacked Mister Blister with it! \n\nIt latched onto an open sore and sucked the pus right out of the grotesque critter, it screaming until it deflated into nothing more than a disgusting pile of flesh on the ground!\n\nPeter was courteous enough to vacuum up the rest of the pus that leaked onto the street. He was a cool guy like that.\n\nThe nightmare was over. The Perferator had saved the world. Finally, Peter Paper could stop feeling guilty.

gives blisters on your hands\n\nluckily i can make them with my feet
Alright! Peter Paper the Perferator it is!\n\n<<set $origami = 1>><<display 'conflict'>>
Hm, I don't see anything immediately heroic on my desk. If only there was a mirror! Oh ho!\n\nAlas, all I can see is a stack of seemingly random papers.\n\n[[I should really organise these papers.|D2]]\n[[Hm, perhaps I should make some origami!|D3]]\n[[Go back to the drawing board!|hero]]\n
Yes, nothing conjures up inspiration more than getting organised! Okay, let’s see what we have her... OUCH! \n\nDamn it! I gave myself a paper cut!\n\nCrap, it's bleeding everywhere! Blood is flooding the room! Looks like I need to rush to the emergency room and miss out on the competition.\n\nI'm sure seeing red now!\n\n[[Undo! UNDO!|D1]]
Brilliant idea, especially if I do say so myself! Perhaps making some origami will get creative juices pumping through my veins. \n\nUnfortunately, the last time I made any origami was during my Japanese classes back in primary school. I try to make a little Fukusuke, but my attempts to create one all end with me repeating the first syllable of its name quite frequently. This would be much easier if the paper was appropriately perforated.\n\nWait... perforating perfectly! What an amazing power that would be for a hero! A hero named... the PERFERATOR!\n\n[[Brilliant! I'll do it!|D4]]\n[[Aw, heck no! I can think of something better!|hero]]
Alright, beetroot used for evil purposes it is! \n\n<<display 'villain'>>
