C. Awesome bowed slightly and announced "I am the Chancellor of Awesome Land and Her Imperial Majesty's top advisor. She ordered a party across the entire country to celebrate the 6 month and 3 day anniversary of the end of our most recent war."
"What...the hell...just happened?" Giggles was soaked with some mysterious substance, presumably TEAM_DERRICK's stomach acid. His make up was running and he looked horrified.

"That's probably the same celebration that my father was summoned here for." Cale said.

"I remember that war." Azzi piped up. "I was a colonel in the army at the time." he adopted a sagely pose. "Tough times..." he trailed off in a way that could only speak of past horrors relived in a moment of quiet nostalgia.

The UFO slipped upside down so that Stella could talk to Derrick. "Um I was born with it like this, kay?"
Then it righted itself so she could talk to C. Awesome. "I don't know what any of those words mean, but it sounds great."

'I'm going to have my hands full...Perhaps I'll get a bonus this year... Chancellor Awesome surveyed the group, quickly thinking of ways to deal with them all.
"Probably." C. Awesome nodded toward Cale. "Is he a caterer of some sort? Aurora didn't actually fill me in on any details of the upcoming events."
Before waiting for a response, he turned to Stella and said "Yes, Aurora tells me it is to be quite entertaining. Please, enjoy yourself. And here." He produced a small book entitled 'Awesome Land!: A Detailed Handbook to Your Trip Here and All of the Nonsensical Adventures You'll Have in Due Time.' "Read to your heart's content until you are familiarized with the empire. It would be...advantageous, to say the least." He handed it to Stella before looking at TEAM_DERRICK confusedly.
"Alright, how the hell did that guy just speak an emoticon?!" Giggles yelled. AND WILL SOMEONE WIPE THIS ACID OFF ME?" The stomach acid was slowly eating away at his clothing.

Stella took the book carefully, weighing it in her hands. Then she performed a series of measurements with a microscope, a compass, and a pH test. After deciding something, she dropped into a compartment in her UFO. The thing shook with the distinct sound of a paper shredder before it blasted the strips up into the air.
"Hooray! Confetti!
Space ninjas don't read.

"He's a butcher," Cale said. "He came here to deliver a massive order of meat. I'll admit that I was confused as to how we would deliver meat without it going bad, but once we were ready to go, we suddenly just arrived in this city."

"We'll chalk it up to magic and be done with it." Chancellor Awesome offered the only explanation he could, peculiarly staring at Stella out of the corner of his eye. 'How...strange...I really, really should get a bonus this year.' "Hopefully the meat tastes good. Aurora will have your father's head if her celebration is off in even the slightest manner." he smiled, although this was not visible from beneath his helmet, of course.
"DAMN IT, CHANCELLOR. CLEAN ME OFF! I'M DYIN' HERE!" Giggles yelled, his skin sizzling now.
Rolling his eyes, (again, not visible) Chancellor Awesome lifted his staff toward the sky. Immediately, a stream of blue light came from the distance and struck the clouds. Subsequently, it began to rain.
"THANK YOU." Giggles growled.

The rain made Stella's confetti sink the ground, which made her mad, so she crossed her arms and legs and pouted.

Cale wasn't sure which startled him more, the magic, or what he perceived as a threat on his father's life.

"Hey, quit your poutin' over there, Toots." Giggles yelled, wringing out both his handkerchief and the tufts of hair on his head. "You ever been eaten before? IT SUCKS, AND IT SUCKS A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN WET CONFETTI."
"Giggles, please. Be nice to our guests. Awesome Land doesn't need whatever is left of its good image to be ruined." Chancellor Awesome spoke in a voice that was calm, but simultaneously suggested a harsh punishment would accompany any further rude behavior. "Enough standing here in the rain." C. Awesome laughed, knowing he could stop it at any time. "Why don't we all visit Aurora's tower. Giggles will put on a show for us."
"THE HELL GIGGLES WILL." Giggles said. It began raining even harder over Giggles than it was everywhere else.

"Sure," Cale said. He wanted to get out of the rain, and he needed to go to the tower anyway, so this worked out well for him.

"Hmm." Stella's UFO rocked slowly from side to side, like a ship on the water. "We~eell if creep clown man is going to put on a show, then I guess I'll come along."

"Excellent." C. Awesome smiled. "Let us depart, then. Her tower is right over there." He pointed toward the massive 9001 floor tower in the center of Dynasty City, one floor short of the other tower in Awesome Land. It looked exceptionally ominous, especially given the weather conditions.
"You guys are in for a hoot. I got some new material I've been workin' on. It'll knock your socks off." Giggles laughed, although it was a dry, boring, non-clown 'I really don't want to be here' laugh.
"It isn't polite to lie, Giggles." C. Awesome shook his head disapprovingly. All of the rain seemed to redirect itself directly toward the clown. Thus, C. Awesome began to lead everyone to the tower.

"I don't see why not." Azzi shrugged. "I have no idea how I got into this city, so I'm game for anything." he said, glancing around. Truthfully he was getting a little hungry. And not a "burger and fries covered in garlic" hungry. "I'll be right back..." he said, already locking onto a random citizen that was walking by, trying to ignore the odd group of people.

"Man, Vamp is crazy," Stella muttered as the group moved forward to the city.

"Okay I'm back." Azzi said. The only indication that he had even left at all was the tell-tale blood-stain on his mask and the fact that the random stranger was no longer around. How? He was a god damn ninja, that's how.

"On behalf of Aurora, I must ask that you not attack innocent civilians. At least not today." Chancellor Awesome advised, although he knew it was to no avail.
"Yea, pal, the only one allowed to knock people dead is me. With my jokes. Wuh ha, wuh ha, wuh ha!" Giggles laughed in a clearly forced manner, beginning his comedy routine a bit early.
Before long, they had reached the front of the Imperial Tower. THROUGH THE POWER OF MAGIC/AUTOMATIC DOOR OPENING SENSORS, the giant palace doors opened by themselves, revealing the tower's interior. "Welcome to the...Imperial...Tower?" Chancellor Awesome was caught off guard; the first thing he saw upon walking in was a room decorated entirely in pink with kitten, bunny and pony themed wallpaper everywhere. "Aurora...has been decorating." he deduced. Toward the far end of the room was a massive stage with curtains, a microphone, speakers and everything one might need to perform. This was, evidently, the entertainment room.
"Oh, boy..." Giggles said ecstatically. Actually, that's a lie. He said it in a very lackluster fashion.
