MIA For a Month

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun, Plot with tags , , , , , , on May 8, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

You see Pekka running towards you, so you stand still to let him catch you.

“Hey! *pant* Glad I caught you. Yeah, I know, weird to see me away from the CAB office, huh? Well, I’ve got good reason this time. The Baron himself came to visit me with a message. Apparently Zador reached one month of “no-show, no-work” today. Umm, you didn’t understand that? He’s MIA, gone, AWOL. Not here. He disappeared EXACTLY a month ago from now. And as you know, the Bucket Faerie’s wand was stolen just a while ago. Wonder if there’s a connection between these two disappearances? I wonder what will go missing next? The whole BA Headquarters? Momo? Ooh, no… The portal. Then we’re stuck here. I bet that dumpster is still there anyhow with these lazies not doing anything about it. Oh, right… The message. Almost forgot. The Baron wants you to take the keys to the castle later today. And that’s it. Not sure why he gave them to you in the first place if he just wanted them back. Oh well, I’m off. Bye! Come visit me at the CAB anytime!”

Pekka turns and runs back the way he came.

Another Day, Another Mystery

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun, Plot with tags , , on May 3, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

As you approach the castle gates, you already know the Baron has nothing but bad news. Call it gut feeling or attribute it to the loud alarm that woke you up three minutes earlier, but certainly today is another bad day…

“Welcome to the castle, Bucketon’s Saviour. I’d say I’m glad to see you, but to be honest, I’m not. Don’t be offended, but seeing you just makes the truth even more painfully real. Whenever you come here, we’re in trouble…and today’s no exception. Approximately SEVEN minutes ago, we discovered that someone stole the Bucket Faerie’s precious Special Bucket Wand of Enigmatic Arcane Powers! The culprit struck in the early hours of  the morning in the Bucket Faerie’s room and stole the wand while he slept. We need your help! You saved us all during the Applitron’s kidnapping event, so we need you to save us again. Without that wand, the Bucket Faerie is unable to do as much good as he has now. Please, find the culprit…save us. Oh, one more thing. If you see Zador, tell him to get to work. It’s almost been a month since he was last seen… Hmph, he’s gotten lazy.”
The Baron hands something to you, turns and walks back into the castle.

You look at your hand. The Baron handed you a a set of keys. Hmm, what could they be for?

Bucketon has been saved #2

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun on April 8, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

As you’re walking away from the castle gates, you run into JohnPaul. He explains he was not present during the meeting, as he was putting in some finishing touches to his new lair, now called The JohnPaul Natural Habitat for Sockos.

Be sure to pay a visit!

Bucketon has been saved!

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 8, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

You’ve been summoned to the gates of Bucketon Castle. As you walk towards the castle, you spot a strange, swirling portal on your left. Ignoring it for now, you arrive at the gates where Baron von Bucket the 1st awaits you, along with everyone involved in the recent events (except Zador and Steve). After the Applitron 4000-X’s escape, the search for it and whoever was controlling it was started and recently called off. Using the mainframe at AMC, Rylon was able to go through the Applitron’s previous movements and all the kidnapped individuals were saved.

You're never safe... MWUAH HAH HAA!

The Baron approaches you and hands you the BUCKETON HERO BUCKET.

“Thank you so much. You saved all of us and we are forever in your gratitude. I hope this special bucket makes up for some of the trouble you went through. Granted, we never found the Applitron or its master, but we will never stop fully searching for it either. Now, I assume you have questions, so go ahead and ask.”

You ask the Baron about repairing damages caused by the Applitron.

“Worry not, we’ve been working hard on rebuilding JohnPaul’s lair and he has been instructing us on how to do so. Seems he wanted it remodeled anyhow, so the explosion didn’t ruin anything in the end. As for the JMD, AAF, etc… We will be fixing the JMD so Weepit, who agreed to continue as the Janitor, can still use it, but the AAF and AMC are probably going to be removed completely. Anything else will be fixed and all secret tunnels will be blocked ASAP. Anything else?”

You ask the Baron about your reward.

“Well, you already got the bucket, didn’t you? What, not good enough? Well, perhaps you’ll eventually need it… Never be disappointed with your free gifts.”

You ask the Baron about Zador.

“Yes, I notice he’s not here. That sure is strange. Well, I’m sure he’s alright.”

You ask the Baron about Steve.

“Oh, him? There’s a reason he’s not here. You see, he was only given the temporary citizenship for three days. He was kidnapped and his citizenship ran out. He did not sign up for renewed temporary citizenship and we have thus thrown him out from Bucketon.”

You ask the Baron about Steve being kicked out.

“You don’t think it’s fair? Granted, he spent all that time in a dark cave with nothing to do, but he’s still an enemy of Bucketon.”

You ask the Baron about the truce.

“Yes, the Applitron ruled Michael into the castle with a promise of truce, but Steve had made it clear he doesn’t want one. So, the truce is non-existant.”

You ask the Baron about lolruses.

“Hmm? No, I doubt they had anything to do with this. They’re intellectually challenged, after all.”

You ask the Baron about Sockos.

“Sockos? Now you’re just talking crazy.”

You tell the Baron you’ve got no more questions.

“Once again, we all thank you for saving us from the Applitron. You are truly a hero of Bucketon! We will be moving that dumpster from the portal site as soon as possible. It’s become quite the nuisance, even if it saved Weepit and stopped the Applitron from escaping the first time.”

After everyone else leaves, you approach the Baron once again and ask him about the strange portal that you saw on your way to the castle.

“Yes, the portal… Unlike our main one, which leads to the Lost Desert, this one takes you to a strange empire… covered in ice. It’s quite a chilly experience. Venture in at your own cost…”

(Lame) April Fools Prank

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun on April 1, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

APRIL FOOLS.

Whee, lame prank.

I’ve grown bored of buckets. My JNF name has been Anti Bucket Faerie for a while, but only now I’ve stopped caring about buckets.

This blog will go through a name change, etc now and my new focus of interest will be Sockos.

If you don’t know what they are, be ashamed.

The Socko Faerie is now here.

It’s 8:33 PM in Turku, Finland now :P *switches off lights*

Hiatus

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon with tags , on March 15, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

The blag will be on a hiatus for an undefined time from now :) This is just to let people like JP know that I’m not working on it right now.

If you’re worried about the plot, don’t be. Once I get back, I will post the conclusion for the plot and award prizes.

Interrogate the Applitron!

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun with tags , , on March 1, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

You have been called into the Security Supervision & Administrating department to interrogate the capture Applitron 4000-X.

The Bucket Army Database

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun with tags , , , on February 25, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

Zador has asked you to visit him at the Bucket Army Headquarters ASAP.

You should go there now!

Applitron Attack Reports

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun with tags , , , , , , on February 23, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

Zador will now take in your guesses for which two witnesses are lying and who is telling the truth… The Baron, Weepit and Momo all witnessed Ailae’s attack, but two of them are lying about the attack while one told the truth.

To tell Zador your guesses, visit the Baron again at his castle (if you haven’t been there yet, visit Weepit, then Momo and then the Baron) to know what to do.

Applitron’s Attack

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun with tags , , , , , on February 22, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

Disappointed by the failed attempt to stop the Applitron, you have been walking around Bucketon for hours when Weepit happens to run towards you with news.

“Man I’m glad you’re here. Applitron was up to his old tricks last night, trying to get his paws on Ailae! Thankfully, I was passing by with the Baron and Momo (man that guy is funny) and managed to thwart him. Ailae is fine, but she can’t really talk just yet. Feel free to ask the three of us about it though.

Weepit leaves, heading for the Bucket Army Headquarters.

Tracking Applitron

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun with tags , , , on February 21, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

“Hey hey! As you should be aware, the Baron is trying to evacuate everyone, however the investigation isn’t yet over. That blasted robot is still on the loose, so he needs to be caught before he does anymore damage!

The Bucket Army have drawn line-markers on the Bucketon Map, based on everything we know so far. They show his movements from his scribble on the 15th (marked as ‘Trivia Papers’), and continue to his most recent escapades. Can you give us a hand trying to find where he’ll go next?”

bucketonmapapplitrontrackingThere are two locations the Applitron has frequented on it’s travels. Perhaps you should try visiting ISEEAMONKEY to see what you can find out.

A Tragic Day in Bucketon

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun with tags , , , , , on February 21, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

“Today is a truly tragic day for Bucketon. The Applitron 4000-X has struck again… The Bucket Faerie is GONE. The Bucket Army has been able to determine that it happened some time during the night, only a few hours after the attack on JohnPaul’s lair that led to the kidnapping of Steve.

Due to this tragic turn of events, I will be closing down Bucketon. We will begin evacuating all citizens immediately. Please leave Bucketon now before you too fall victim to the mad robot. If it was able to even capture the Bucket Faerie, it’s not safe to remain here.

Hurry and escape!”

The Baron leaves you standing at the gates, shocked.

But hold on, there seems to be another scrap of an application here. Did the Baron drop this?

“Meepit Overlord & Meepits: Unclassified (but enemy IMO)”

Maybe you should go check out RBLG again?

!!!

Posted in Daily Life in Bucketon, Fun with tags , , on February 20, 2009 by ldneedsbuckets

You are walking out of the Bucket Army Headquarters, having found what seems to be scene of a brutal attack on the Janitor.

KA-BOOM


The loud sound of an explosion seems to have come from the northwest… the Lair of JohnPaul!
