DPRPGC #7: Hail the Glorious Leader

[Saint Girralo]

Long Live the Glorious Leader, Blessed be his Righteous and most Holy of Reigns

Do not bow to that man. I brought plenty of explosives, where should we put them? How about that statue being made of that prick?

[IsTotallymdk]

"..." Is just out taking a random stroll...

Hider

Is strapped to a segway with pedals to make it look like he's walking. He's actually an extremely loyal Glorious Leader enthusiast that just happened to look a lot like mdk that now has had his tongue and hands cut out for the good of the universe. This is an arranged scene.

[VERYLOYALtoGL]

THERE HE IS!

<attacks and ties up @IsTotallymdk>

THERE! mdk HAS BEEN CAPTURED! HE SHALL BE DELIVER TO THE @New Herald AT ONCE! ALL HAIL THE GLORIOUS LEADER!

Hider

Peace, out!

<drags @IsTotallymdk out of the scene>

[PlatinumSkink]

Hider

... That didn't look suspicious at all, right? No? Good.

[RomanAria]

Hider

Oh god things just got political.... I'm not good with politics.

[Ellri]

Encrypted message to @new Herald:
Is it time to unleash the dragons? Is it at long last time to do what is necessary?

[New Herald]

ATTENTION

We Have Him

@IsTotallyMDK, or as YOU know him, @mdk, has proven very useful. Although we cannot yet read your covert communications, we now know how to send them -- it will take some time to crack the remainder of the code, but rest assured, we'll figure it out soon enough. I wanted to send this message on your hidden frequency because I'm speaking to you, rebel scum. We have slain your vigilante and locked up your so-called leader, and we'll do the same for the rest of you soon enough. This prisoner seems unwilling to speak with us -- but we have our ways. We'll get what we need, and we'l come for the rest of you. You can throw down your weapons if you want -- it won't make a difference. You can run away and hide in exile -- we'll still find you. WE ARE WATCHING. WE SEE. And We Do Not Forget. Tremble in fear -- your hour is coming.

The Rebel Forces are defeated. The GLORIOUS LEADER has brilliantly succeeded in his personal campaign to root them out. This is our hour of victory. In gratitude for your loyal and obedient service, and in recognition of your heroism in carrying out His divine will without question, the GLORIOUS LEADER would like to personally address the citizens of the realm. He will appear in person to accept your tributes of fiction and prose on the 15th, when the submitted pieces will be put on display for all to see. Rejoice in your victory, comrades! He has won!

HAIL THE GLORIOUS LEADER!

You're probably wondering what that weird gray box is. We don't really know anything about it -- hell I can't even read it! But I typed up a little message to poke whatever rebels are left. Our analysts have been working non-stop on them since this whole thing started, and all we've figured out so far is that it's THEORETICALLY possible to bury a message in there. Can't tell for sure if the rebels are using them or not, but just in case they are, right? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! We got them good maybe! @mdk has actually proven pretty much useless -- we can't get anything out of him yet, but lots and lots of clever tortures are in store for this little guy. It's true what I said -- the Glorious Leader wants to appear to everyone, and he'll be here soon. But he's not foolish enough to think the rebels are ACTUALLY beaten yet. We need all the security we can get -- a deadly show of force. @Ellri, @Dark Wind, and @VERYLOYALtoGL, you three are responsible for preparing the way. I want NO INCIDENTS upon the Glorious Leader's arrival -- whatever work you deem necessary, see that it's done before the 15th. Slay as many as you need, it doesn't matter. Prepare the way. Terminate all threats with extreme prejudice. The Glorious Leader will honor your contributions to the cause.

[VERYLOYALtoGL]

THE SECURITY SHALL BE MAXIMIZED! THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE OF ANY DANGER TO THE LEADER ON ARRIVAL! ALL RISKS WILL BE ELIMINATED! ALL HOLES SHALL BE PATCHED! ALL DISLOYALS SHALL BE SLAIN! YOU CAN COUNT ON US, @New Herald!

HAIL THE GLORIOUS LEADER!

... Hey, fellow members of the Resistance. I have an amusing piece of information for you all. Let's see. The Glorious Leader himself will arrive the 15th. Delivering a speech in person. Also, they think they have @mdk, buuuuuut they don't. The Reapers and all other loyal to the Glorious Leader will be making a specific effort to eliminate us in the following hours, so stay safe. All in due time. However, the time to strike is definitely shortly. And, well, that's all. I'm not a commander of the Resistance, I'm just an informant on the other side. So, good luck, all. PlatinumSkink, out. Haha.

I hope that sounded kind of good. Haha.

[PlatinumSkink]

Hider

On a completely different note, I hope my entry is as amusing to read as it was for me to write. Haha.

Edit: ... Oh, crap, now that I've said that and look at it, it's like "it's lacking something"... Oh, well...

[Gwynbleidd]

It is with pride, my faithful citizens, that I tell you 'R' has been slain. I was the one who buried him into his early grave. These neighbors of mine who stand against the GLORIOUS LEADER deserve to die a traitor's death. But, do not focus on my own individual actions. Several brave Reapers took part in this operation, a few lost their lives. Mourn them for a short while, but do not linger in sorrow. For every Reaper that is slain, two shall rise in their place to carry out the preordained justice of the GLORIOUS LEADER!

HAIL!

Operation Inferno has been put in effect. The rebels will come to fear the flaming fury the Reapers will rain down upon them!

[Rusalka]

Hail to the Glorious Leader

Hello my glorious people...I've missed you.

Yes, it is I, "R", resurrected from the flames of tyranny that once sought to burn me away from the annals of history. In truth, I did fake my untimely demise and had my beloved proxy Rhea sell the ruse to you. I do realize it was a most heinous and uncouth act to dampen your spirits my brothers and sisters, but even so, all warfare is based upon deception.

With the glorious leader and his chantry now believing that they have slain me, he intends to make his boldest and indeed I say most foolish of maneuvers across the chessboard of our violent and vehement fray, a public appearance. On the 15th of February, the glorious leader shall make his arrival to the capital city to congratulate the men and women who honorably sacrificed their lives to defeat the insurrectionist known simply as "R". It is then...I shall make my final move.

But this task I cannot accomplish alone, my dear friends in the resistance. I will need your help.

You have all strived greatly, some of you have suffered even more, but I assure you, the fruits of your labor will indeed be sweet and heavy upon the tongue. It will be my, no, OUR greatest honor to finally cleave the head off the dragon that is our adversary, and to see all who so foolishly and blindly follow him, descend with him into the abyss of obscurity forevermore!

The glorious leader shall not claim victory this day, but us, we shall grasp it tight in our blood-soaked hands and hold it high above our heads as the banner of our new country, our new beginning but wave amidst the dying winds of adversity.

I say once more my brothers and sisters, do not falter, do not lose hope, for even beyond the most tumultuous and blackest of storm clouds, the sun shines bright always.

We will prevail, we will fight onward to victory, we will show no fear nor apprehension towards our enemies.

We...will...win!

~R

Okay, I just gotta man up and say it—won't be finishing my entry. Too many exams, not enough motivation, sorry. I'll still do reviews as usual, of course, but they might be a week late.

Good luck to the other entrants! Based on the inspiration flying around in the thread, I sure hope to see some good material this time around.

[RomanAria]

Finally finished my entry. Wasn't happy with it, but eh. The poetry motivation was noooooot happening this month, so instead, an actual story from me?! O_O It's heresy! Heresy I tell you!

Just a friendly reminder to have all your entries (and in-character moves, if you're playing along) in by tonight. So you're aware, the whole GLORIOUS LEADER plot should be more or less done tomorrow. We're going to have a thread where you can keep it going if you like -- including GLORIOUS REVIEWS, if you're into that! Or just let it end, either way. Revolutionaries may notice some minor formatting changes to their entries IN THE IN-CHARACTER THREAD ONLY, and I do mean minor, all in the name of good fun. All entries will also be posted in a "real" thread, for your conventional contest purposes of write/read/review and discussion type things without all the complicated GLORIOUS distractions. I'm going to try to have everything posted in the morning before my HOT LUNCH DATE, but if I'm delayed, it'll show up later, don't worry!

One other note -- I only saw one entry requesting an anonymous tag, so as of this post, only one person is getting it. If I need to change that, let me know! Or if you see a notification that you got mentioned, and you were hoping to be anonymous, you can always tell me afterwards and I'll take the name off. I mean, @New Herald will do that. @New Herald totally isn't RPGC staff.

OKAY! That's that. Back to being dead/captured.

Admin Burn

The only way they could get a date was if hot lunch was provided.

[PlatinumSkink]

@mdk ... That laugh is for the signature. Because that made me laugh out loud, and I had to put it somewhere. XD

Hm. I'm open for most kinds of glorious treachery I can do when the time comes. Haha.

[Ellri]

Tonight, every citizen in the capital and beyond will gather to hear our GLORIOUS LEADER speak publicly of the plans for WORLD PEACE. It will be wonderful. As always, word has spread far and wide and children with puppies everywhere have already sworn that they will come and stand at his side as he speaks.

HAIL THE GLORIOUS LEADER!!!

it is always nice when children show their love for our GLORIOUS LEADER. Even more wonderfully, not one agent of the department of free will had to say or do anything to get the volunteers. That is how beloved he is. We do sincerely hope that the rebels, weak as they are, do not do anything that will harm the children and their puppies, they cannot harm the GLORIOUS LEADER, seeing how he is immortal and invulnerable.

The question is whether our agent dispatched following the efforts of the department of reincarnation will succeed.

[Gwynbleidd]

Hello, citizens. As you can no doubt tell from my voice, I am not Dark Wind. I am one of the Reapers known as Frozen Tundra. Dark Wind has been taken into custody for question. I do not know why, but it all happened shortly after the storming of 'R''s residence. All I can say is that he seemed to appear to show emotions. A Reaper must not have emotions for to remain the equilibrium and glory within Gloria, we must all sacrifice the base selfish individuality for the greater glory. The glory defined by our GLORIOUS LEADER. You will receive new word about Dark Wind's status later within the day. For now, prepare for the grand arrival of our GLORIOUS LEADER. It shall be a sight to behold, a sight that the ages to come will write about with pen strokes desperately attempting to capture the incomprehensible brilliance of the beauty that will be seen.

*Static*

Ah, technical *static* Pro-

*Gunshot*

The hell was that? *Door opens*

What are you doing here? You're supposed to be *Gunshot* *Body crumple*

*A long sigh*

I have captured, I have stalked, I have done all the tasks asked of me. I have killed. All in the name of the GLORIOUS LEADER. But, my citizens. I have not lived. Upon what I had thought to be the end of this, 'R'. I took home a book. When I flipped through the pages, I drifted back to things I thought weren't real. But they are. My memories. Times where I did not feel numb. The cold has lifted from my body. You do not have to live in these shells of apathy, for apathy is death. Do not be drones for this madman who cares not for your lives! Shed the bleak gray that tints your eyes, you have the right to a world full of color and vibrant life! 'R' was right. I was wrong. This sham of a ruler has murdered families, killed your sons and daughters, taken your mothers and fathers and your friends. You remember them, think of their faces when you see his sickening smile when he marches through the streets! He is not glorious, he is a demon! And a demon must be exorcised...

Some will hear this call. Some will not. I will not live through this as men will be closing in on my position. But, I have directly linked the names, pictures, and information of every major cog within the GLORIOUS LEADER's war machine. Do what you will with it. Remain apathetic and pathetic, or rise up and fight for something that is not only greater than yourselves but also deserving to have your individual voice fuel it! I once killed for a false ruler, and now I will die for you all in the hopes that you shall live for yourselves.

OOC

Plot twist? Yeah, I was writing a somewhat resistance themed story from the get go. Wasn't a hundred percent pleased with it because I had so much more I wanted to do with it and so much more I wanted to write. Anyway, hope you all enjoy it! And... It's good to finally be back in the contest. AMAZING WORK here everybody, especially the staff. Y'all are incredible. Top notch. Best forum staff of all time. OF ALL TIME!
