The Children of the Gods demand stories! Herein are the many tales (hopefully) of Business Raptor in his worthy endeavour to earn a profit and the many shenanigans that happen in his journey. Index: pg. 1. Business Raptor in the Realm of Chaos (contest entry)
Business Raptor in the Realm of Chaos Business Raptor was working hard When he heard a noise out in his yard It was most annoying; he had to see! and there he found a buzzing busy bee. Try as he might he just couldn't swat it As his arms were too short by quite a bit. Worse than that, although he tried his best, He kept failing his initiative test! So Business Raptor thought long and hard: "Who could get rid of the bee in my yard?" He had a ponder and then he had a think "What about Oxyotl, the Chameleon Skink?" Oxyotl, yes! He must get his attention, But wasn't he lost in the Chaos Dimension? Yet the bee was still buzzing against all the odds, He'd rather try his chances with the Dark Gods! "Well, this will be an adventure" he said with a chortle And so he found his way to a Chaos Portal. It had been a long journey, searching far and wide, And upon going in he found Daemons inside! He eyed up the Daemons, and after a think, Asked "have you seen Oxyotl, the Chameleon Skink?" But the Daemons grew angry, more than they should And started shouting about skulls and blood. "How rude, I won't get anything here, I just hope Oxyotl is not far but near!" So he left the Daemons to try and see If he could find an answer to that buzzing bee. After walking quite far, by quite some measure, Business Raptor found some Daemons of Pleasure. "They must live here, judging by their complexion, I wonder if they can point me in the right direction?" So he eyed up the Daemons, and after a think Asked "do you know Oxyotl, the Chameleon Skink?" Answering in silence, they busied tending to their flesh, "...or perhaps your Lord knows: the Dark God Slannesh?" They jumped up, no longer lazy, Indeed, they sounded rather crazy: "It's double 'a' not double 'n'!" "Leave at once; get out of our den!" "Oh dear, oh dear" Business Raptor said, He backed out quickly: their noise hurt his head. So he left the Daemons, he had to be free Of the annoying sound of that damn buzzing bee. Soon Business Raptor began to feel sad, He was rather lost and this place was mad: the people were weird and the sky was orange. Suddenly he tripped over a daemonic sporange. Spinning over, he hit the ground with a BOOM! Having landed beside the offending mushroom. Lying on his back he stared into the sky And, losing all hope, he began to cry. "Don't cry little lizard" said a clever voice, "If it's hope that you need I'm the right choice" Looking up, he saw a fiery Lord of Change. "Do you want help? Any wish is within my range." He eyed up the Daemon, and after a think, Asked "do you know Oxyotl, the Chameleon Skink?" The Daemon laughed and flapped its great wings And said something that made the lizard's heart sing: "Dear Business Raptor, do not worry You already saw him on your journey! Trace back your steps and have a see If you can find the Chameleon and kill the bee."
Are there more in the pipeline? I was hoping for more than a dead tapir in the latest story comp. Actually, I was hoping for more than a dead tapir for my birthday, too. I shouldn't complain - at least it was a complete surprise.
Well, now that my drawing style is out there an anonymous entry was off the cards! There are indeed more in the pipline, however the time and effort going into making a drawing means that it'll be irregularly updated,
Hey @Slanputin, All the image links are broke. Didn't pay for premium photo bucket? (I use image shack. I find the occasional broken link from very old images, but this is seeking ok for me (and its free and reasonably intuitive.. You can also cut and paste or drag and drop images directly into the post and L-O hosts the images. This might be more stable long term than using a third party archive. It doesn't always work for me, and t here e is a limit to number of files and probably file size.)
Hooray! Business Raptor is fixed - and just in time to be disqualified from the Story Comp for being too wordy and not original.
