[glow=red,2,300]Thanks, I'm honored. And heh, my stories really aren't better than yours. My stories are a bunch of words thrown together in, like I said, 3.5 minutes.[/glow]

Suparb. Bad newbies! Though it makes you wonder, if they can write a newspaper, why can't they stop using chatspeak?
*Hypnotises Rider to write more*

Heh, fun! But you have to beat the dragon so I can finally do something besides being hypnotized! Sort of reminds me of The Quibbler, from Harry Potter. Mostly rubbish, but with some truth to it. An evil Quibbler run by mysterious strangers. Scary... And, to the Veritas Vitae specialist, I say- A Rainbow Gun? You've got to be kidding! Neopia's much more dangerous than that! Rider's got every right to carry a sword, especially in the chatboards! Basically, it's great! I want more, please!

Veritas Vitae Part Three By: Rider
“An angry mob?”
“That’s what they appear to be.” Huggsy said, scratching behind one of his bear-like ears. “A bit on the cliché side, don’t you think?”
“Well, at least it’s the back door that they’ve got surrounded.” HTML said reasonably. “If anyone here dislikes angry mobs, you can head out the front way and through the Catacombs!”
Unsurprisingly, no one moved.
“Okay, so now what?” Kat asked, looking a bit nervous. Huggsy patted her on the shoulder lovingly.
“We find out what they want. And we’ll need a couple of pitchforks of our own,” I said, turning to Plushieowner.
“Five steps ahead of you.” The girl opened the door to a closet and grabbed three pitchforks. She handed one to Huggsy and one to Kat. NSQ looked at the third one with longing eyes. The rest of us backed away nervously. NSQ and pointy objects were a dangerous combination.
“The last one’s mine,” Plush said. I let out an audible sigh of relief.
HTML opened the door. “Greetings! We come in peace!”
The mob stared at her.
I stared at her.
She was holding Crusher the shovel in one hand.
Sheepishly, she hid the shovel behind her back. I swear, I saw an anime sweat drop on her face.
“Look, what do you want?” I asked, careful not to draw attention to the sword sheathed in my belt.
I got a lot in incomprehensible roars in reply. And pitchforks waving around. Someone even had a torch.
“Can’t we all just get along?” NSQ asked, trudging out the door into the snow.
The torch flew. NSQ ducked, and it landed in the cavern in a blaze of sparks.
One reason why we picked to situate the NTWF in the Catacombs: stone doesn’t burn.
“No need to shout.” NSQ straightened herself up, dusting the dirt off of her sleeves.
“We want you lot packed up and moved somewhere else!” Shouted a rather unstable-looking fire Lupe.
“Make us!” Kat shouted, brandishing her wand. Several mob members flinched.
A bolt of inspiration struck me. I drew my sword form its sheath. Eggz grabbed my arm, but I was too filled with stupidly brilliant inspiration to care.
“Yarr, you lot get off my property!” I yelled, swinging the sword in a million different directions. Kat had to trip over Huggsy in her haste to get away.
“It ain’t your property, it’s mine!”
I turned in mild surprise. An elderly Nimmo stood to the side, waving a walking staff aloft. Half of his teeth were gold. The other half were made of some substance that I didn’t want to try to recognize.
Then I remembered that I was supposed to be acting crazy. “It’s mine I tell ya, now git off’f it afore I call the Chia Police!”
“But the Chia Police are…”
I covered HTML’s mouth. “They don’t have to know that.”
The fire Lupe continued to rave. “It ain’t your property. This is public ground! Belongs to the government of Neopia Central!”
“There is no government of Neopia Central!”
A voice at the front of the crowd piped up. “Then why are there Chia Police?”
“There are no…”
Again, I covered her mouth. “I said, they don’t have to know that!”
“Then who do we pay taxes to?”
“Erm… the Tax Beast?”
“I need a tax break!”
“So do I!”
“Join the club.”
“Where do we go for tax breaks if there is no government?”
“Wait, if there’s no government, what’ll happen to Social Security? I can’t be working until I’m an old Koi.”
“Neopets don’t age.”
“Then explain the Nimmo with the cane!”
“I said this is my property!”
“Pipe down, old Nimmo guy. But tell me, are you still working?”
“We need a financial plan!”
“Let’s storm the Faerie Queen’s tower and demand our rights as citizens!”
“YEAH!”
They stormed off in a cloud of dust, leaving only the gold-toothed Nimmo.
“But… this is my property?”

Oh my gosh. That is hilarious. I love the banter between the crowd, ya'll, and the nimmo.
