The Sober Chronicles - Chapter 19 - The Miracle Worker

PREVIOUSLY
"Downtown screams and charges at Gav..."
AND NOW

Downtown snatches the bottle from Gav's hand and throws it to the other side of the room shouting "What do you think you're doing.. are you even thinking?"
"What? I wanted beer." questioned Gav.
"Good thing I saved you then, did you not notice that that was a bottle of Budweiser!"
"IT WAS?! Fuck man, that was close. Good job someone here has their wits about them."
AAlgav speaks up. "Well clearly, we neeed to get this man some beer. And quick."
"Then I propose we use this meeting to discuss what our options are to achieve this." adds GAVSEN
Downtown replies "Well we know that all public houses will have sold out, so we need to think of an alternative"
"Or find someone who may know of an alternative" replied Gav.
"How about that Billy The Wise?" offered Downtown.
"Whizz. It's pronounced whizz" corrected Gav.
Everyone notices GAVSEN deep in thought.
"GAVSEN?" asks AAlgav.
"I was just thinking, what we really need, is someone who can make alcohol from water. Someone who can perform miracles"

The Sober Chronicles - Chapter 18 - 'nuff Said

The Sober Chronicles - Chapter 18 - 'nuff Said

PREVIOUSLY
"Just then the rain stops to cheers from everyone."
AND NOW...  

Gav, Downtown, AAlgar, and JABSEN are back on land where AAlgar is still disgusted with himself for his 'King Of The World' comment and Gav is steadily becoming sober much to his discomfort. AAlgar and JABSEN express interest in joining Gav and Downtown and are given the Gavified names of AAlgav and GAVSEN. It is at this moment that a 'Lemming' from the boat approaches the group. Greatly disturbed by his presence, Downtown rushes towards 'Lemming' and gives him a Gary Neviile* before returning to the group. Collectively, the Order Of Gavs decide to arrange an official emergency meeting to discuss the current beer situation. GAVSEN knows of a place where the meeting can be held and they set off towards a seemingly abandoned building. GAVSEN explains that the founder Dave uses this for gatherings of the Religion Of Indecisiveness but he can't decide how to decorate the place. As they sit discussing things, the door suddenly swings open and a dwarf appears and throws a bottle towards them before apologising about getting the wrong room and running off. Gav catches the empty bottle and immediately holds it upside down above his open mouth hoping to rescue any remaining drops. Upon seeing this, Downtown screams and charges at Gav...

The Sober Chronicles - Chapter 17 - The Lion Game

PREVIOUSLY
"Let's go investigate"
AND NOW.....



The two Gavs are walking around the ship in the heavy rain taking in the various sights. Downtown turns to Gav and says "So... I am seeing this right?"
"People dressed up in lame animal costumes?"
"Just checking."
They walk past a group and overhear one of them dressed as a dog say "Tell you what, why don't you, Mark, and Luke join my little group..."
Gav whispers "Like that'll be anywhere near as good as ours" and they carry on to the front of the ship where they overhear a 'lion' with a ginger mane arguing with a 'bear'.
"... I'm telling you, Noah is not an alien."
"He's gotta be."
"Just look at The State of his beard"
"So?"
"Beards don't grow in space."
"But we're not in space."
"And he didn't come from space either...." the 'lion' interrupts himself mid sentence "...hello" he says towards the Gavs.
"Hi, I'm Gav, this is uhhh.. also Gav."
"You can call me Downtown."
"Nice to meet you, I'm AAlgar, and this is JABSEN" he says motioning towards the 'bear'.
"So, everyone's snuck on here in lame animal disguises then? What have you come as?"
"Me? I'm the Lion King Of The World" AAlgar shouts as he stands with arms outstretched over the front of the boat.
"NICK?" someone shouts from the back of the boat.
"The fuck you just do there? All the rain getting to your head?" JABSEN asks.
AAlgar sits back down "I... I don't know. That was just terrible. I'm sorry. Will this rain ever fucking stop?"
Just then the rain stops to cheers from everyone.

The Sober Chronicles - Chapter 16 - Best Friends

PREVIOUSLY
"..That's why I cringed, it always reminds me of her betrayal."
AND NOW.....


"I'm sorry man."
"The thing that really annoys me is how I went along with it for so long, pretending it was a miracle conception. People have even started calling him the Son of God, and for that I cannot forgive myself. I left Mary, left the carpentry business, left everything and went into failed business venture after failed business venture. My life's a mess now. That's it, I'm doing nothing now, it's too much ef---t."
"Too much to even say the whole word?" Gav questions.
"Yup, I'm done with it all"
"Tell you what, you sound like a great guy, fancy joining my Order?"
"Your Order?"
"Order Of Gavs... admittedly there's only me so far but I haven't come across anyone deserving enough to join.... till you.”
"But I'm not a Gav."
"Then we'll have to make you one. From now on you'll be 'Gav Brown'."
"Gav Brown? Hmmm, I like it. Downtown Gav Brown."
"Excelle..." Gav pauses "...hey, have you noticed something strange about this ship?"
"What? No, can't say I have"
"Have a look."
Downtown looks around.
"Oh god, you're right. How could we not have notice?"
"The lack of alcohol must have been distracting my attention."
"Let's go investigate"

SCRIPTS: Bubbles Great Adventure 1.1

 The first of my scripts where I started using the (borrowed from YPJ) methd of using pictures to accompany the story. Continuing with the Character of Bubbles The Ninja from Bubbles In Trubble I decided to do something based off the TV series LOST. I like this and there are some funny moments in it, or at least I like to think so.

Anyway, here it is:-

The Sober Chronicles - Chapter 15 - The Ark In Space

PREVIOUSLY
"Well..." says Noah as he steps aside "welcome aboard then."
AND NOW.....


"I can't believe the idiot didn't stock up on beer!" says Gav angrily as he banged his fist against the wall. "How much longer do I have to go without another beer?"
"Come Gav, there's nothing you can do now. Just accept the situation for what it is. Deal with it when you're in a position to do something about it and stop worrying what might be. Move on and forget about it till that time."
"You're right, thanks Joseph."
"No probs Gav, happy to help"
"Say, I noticed earlier you cringed when Noah said 'there was no room at the Inn', that have anything to do with your problems?"
"You could say that, in a way." Joseph replied. "You see, it all started when my wife got pregnant."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Not when you haven't slept with her yet it isn't. Y'see, I had my suspicions she was having an affair with someone in town, but she flat out denied it claiming she was a virgin."
"Well that's one of the lamest excuses I've ever heard."
"I stuck by her, but as the months grew, the lies and betrayal grew too much to bear and I had to find out who was the father so I took Mary with me and searched Bethlehem all over.
"I'm impressed you managed to suppress your anger that long."
"It was hard. Anyway, the night grew long and we needed to find somewhere to stay but everywhere was booked up. Time after time we were told there was no room at the Inn, until one kind gentleman let us shelter in his barn. That's why I cringed; it always reminds me of her betrayal."

The Sober Chronicles - Chapter 14 – Look Who’s Talking

PREVIOUSLY
"....I have a plan that is most cunning in nature"
AND NOW.....


On their way to Noah's ship, the skies darken with thick grey clouds and the rain starts pouring. By the time they get to the ship the rain is very heavy and they can just make out the words NOAH and SARK on the side.
"This must be it" says Joseph "So, how are we going to get on?"
"Just leave all the talking to me" says Gav as he approaches Noah who is standing guard.
"Good evening my fellow man..." starts Gav.
Noah interrupts "I'm sorry but we already have two of every species accompanying us. There's no room at the inn if you like."
Joseph cringes.
"You appear to be pretty strict about this.
"A man's word is his bond"
"May I ask, of the human species, how many are aboard?"
"Why, just the two of us. My wife Sark and myself."
"Forgive me, but did you not say that two of every species would accompany you and your wife?"
"..... yes." Noah says hesitantly.
"Then surely as you said two of every species would accompany you, that logically implies, even taking into account that you yourselves are human, that two humans would accompany you."
"I... ummm....." Noah stammers with a confused expression "I.... guess you're... right"
"Strictly speaking is all I'm saying" Gav hammers home.
"Well..." says Noah as he steps aside "welcome aboard then." and gestures them both towards the ship.

The Sober Chronicles - Chapter 13 - Going Forth

PREVIOUSLY
"All public houses in Jerusalem have completely sold out."
AND NOW.....


Gav says "The situation within which we currently find ourselves occupying is not at all favourable Joseph"
Joseph adds "It is indeed dire. So as a means towards arriving at a resolution, what is currently known about the aforementioned situation?"
"Supplies of beer have been exhausted as a result of the impending climatic situation. I have no beer. I require beer." explained Gav.
"Let it also not be forgotten that all life is expected to expire during this event save for those animals that Noah will be taking with him."
"With, Joseph, the obvious exception of both creatures of the sea and air."
"By extension then, our only course of action would be to secure a place on Noah's vessel."
"It would also be reasonable to assume that being the last of the human race and put in this situation, Noah would have stocked up on beer for the duration."
"As was noted in the report however, salvation is only to be granted to the animal kingdom"
Gav sits back in his chair with a smile and finishes "Fear not Joseph, for I have a plan that is most cunning in nature"
