Welcome, dear readers, to the beginnings of a brand new season of exciting action and adventure, here at the RPGDL! Season Fifteen is ready and waiting for you to peruse and enjoy, so let's get started! First, take a quick look at the Results Page for season fourteen's aftermath week. Who came out ahead in the end-season team match? And how many fighters have proven themselves worthy ( or, as might be the case, unworthy ) of a division change? Head on inside, dear readers, and find out for yourself! After you're finished catching up on the remnants of last season, jump on over to The Arena and get ready for the start of Season Fifteen! In Light this week, we're showcasing a battle of black vs. white: Porom, renowned Mysidian cleric vs. Mia Ausa, leading magician of Vane. Who will prove themselves to be the better master ( or mistress is perhaps the better term ) of the magical arts? In Middle, Death Knight Cador gets a second chance to conquer the DL for his master. But will a young scholar prove to be his downfall? In Heavy, we've got a spectacular match between your's trul...er...Lord Leo, from Lunar 2, and Athos, the wise archsage of Fire Emblem. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely rooting for that Leo chap. Go Leo! And finally, in Godlike, two of the biggest losers in Godlike have both gotten in this season: Tir McDohl and Lenneth Valkyrie. Will either of them manage to scrounge up a win this season? I know you're dying to see the rest of the matches, dear readers, so don't wait another minute! And of course, make sure to check out The RPG Strategy League. How did the battle at Thamasa go, and what will become of the World of Balance? Oh, and don't even think of leaving before you stop by the RPGDL Forums! It's a great place to hang out and get the inside scoop on all the happenings around this lovely little corner of the 'net. Come on, just take a look: we won't bite! Ready to introduce us to Season Fifteen's prestigious fighters is Chisato Madison and her BtS crew, pumped up and ready to bring you an excellent show, preferably without any problems: Grah! I can’t believe the writer. I’m supposed to get crushed by an anvil this episode? I’d sure love some of the stuff he’s smoking. Hah! Serves ya’ right! Oh, Moppy, care to take a look at your part of the script? Of course! I’m certain I’ll have…a pink tutu!? And apparently, from what I gather, you used it during your ballet recital when you were eight. Pansy. I can’t stand this! Someone needs to fire this writer! Er…I’d be careful saying that if I were you. I’m sure there are worse things he can do than… I’m the king of the gods! What can he possibly do to… …Odin…you’re… 404! 404! 404! Ahhhhhh! Get it off, get it off! Well, I think if you apologize real nicely to Mr. Omnipotent Writer, then he might just give you your…usual form back. Not that it’d be much of an improvement, mind you. Oh mighty writer, heed my prayer! Please! I beg of you! Return me to my usual form! ...nope, nothing. Looks like you’re stuck like that. Enjoy. Well, everyone’s all together, it seems. Morte, Ultros, Odin…let’s get ready to start. First off, massive mockings are in store for Ultros this week: he's one of the losers who actually failed to upgrade to Godlike! Let's hear it for the calamari kid! Hey...I was Godlike first! And then promptly kicked out. That doesn't count. Anyway, these are my usual assistants: Ultros at the camera, Morte as my paperweight, and Odin the loveable punching bag. So, let's get started with the real meat of the show now! …she…didn’t notice? She didn’t care?! I'm a huge freaking X! Actually, I doubt she saw the difference: I mean, you are kind of a big nothing anyway… Oh come on, Morte…it’s Christmas. Bah, humbug! That was over a week ago, Ultros. We got nearly a year before that dreadful holiday rolls around again. Now, let’s get ready to start. Ok! Alright. Welcome back, dear readers of the RPGDL! We’re here at Behind the Scenes, ready to give you a look at some of the more interesting characters competing this week. It’s Season Fifteen, and we aim to please! We aim to please, yes, but sometimes we fail miserably. But don’t blame us: blame the writer. Nooooo! Don’t say that! Huh? Why? Writer, writer, writer, lalalalalala! If you don’t stop that, you’ll break the Fourth Wall! The Fourth Wall? What are you rambling on about? It’s the barrier between this world and…the next. The outer world, where the people who create the RPGDL dwell. Er…ok. And what does this have to do with us? The Fourth Wall can only take so much pressure. Anytime you mention something about the “real” world, it starts to crack. So just fix it. That’s what Hammer’s here for, isn’t it? You can’t fix the Fourth Wall that easily. It takes a long time, via carefully… Ok, whatever. I don’t have time for this. Big Red X, bring out the guests! *sigh* Introducing, from Light, this week’s special guests: please welcome Jun and Jaffar! … Konichiwa. Oooohhhh. Another guy with a fake Japanese accent. This should be fun. Nice job, writer: I bet you can’t write him in character. Stop it with the Fourth Wall desecration! Oh come on, you really don’t believe all that bull… Jaffar just vanished! What’s going on here? Oh dear lord…it’s starting! I’m getting out of here! Superstitious freak. Not like Jaffar will be missed, but it is weird… Anyway, let’s talk to Jun now. So, Jun, how does it feel to be one of the lone samurai in a game where samurai…well, suck? You’re outdone by the great-swordsmen, normal swordsmen, and even the archers. What is up with that? Kokichi, yaya tuto muna. …what, in the name of all-mighty Tria, did you just say? I knew it! The stupid writer thinks he’s special by attempting to fake Japanese. Hey, blockhead: it’s not working! Well, it’s fairly convincing…I mean does anyone actually know what real Japanese sounds like? Would you stop adding your commentary every couple seconds? It’s not needed. Fine, fine. So let’s ask the…huh? ...I’m starting to think this Fourth Wall thing might be real. Oh well, Light’s the least interesting division anyway: let’s bring out the Middles! Please welcome Poco, the overweight musician, and Cador the death knight. Hey, why’s that guy…a big red x? It’s a skin condition. Aha! I’ve finally found you, Morte! Now I can fight you face to face, and destroy you once and for all! Argh, I thought the moat I installed two seasons back was supposed to keep him away?! Oh, that thing? I took it out when I came back. Saved on the water bills. Now, my little Shakespearean reject, I shall destroy you! Only if you can catch me! Come back here, coward! Ah…finally, I think we’ll have a show free of interruptions. Now, Poco, I understand you fight with musical instruments, yes? I do. Musical instruments? What kind of a way to fight is that? Apparently it works pretty well for him. It does! And the writer of this even plays…*pop* …did he just do what I think he did? Went out of phase with this dimension? Well, not exactly the words I was going to use, but ok. So…Cador, it’s your turn! Stop chasing that disembodied skull and get down here! I will not stop until I have his head on a silver platter! *sigh* Fine. The fewer interviews we have to do, the faster we get this done with. Ultros, call out the Heavy guests. But…but that’s my job! Perhaps. However, I doubt a big red x is the best thing for ratings. You are the weakest link: goodbye! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Er…anyway, let’s bring out our Heavy guests! Please welcome….er….Morte and Lord Leo! Morte’s out being chased. Bring out Gau instead. Ok…please welcome Gau and Lord Leo! Mr. Thou! What? No, my name is Leo, White Knight of Althena’s guard. Thou? Thou? THOU! What?! Get him off of me! Well, time to solve this the way I usually do… Wait, you can’t launch me! You’d never hurt Mystere! …you’re not Mystere. Oh…right. Great, the writer of this almost blew my coveeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! Wow…I didn’t know we could fire people so far. Neither did I…the sad part is, I didn’t press the button. Er…I think we need to get this done as fast as possible. For once, I agree. Godlike guests for tonight are Yuna and Tir McDohl. … *sniff* Hi… Oooohhh…not only is she crying, but she’s a red x like Odin! The writer…he hates me. I can’t stand this! I’m a respectable woman, yet this fiend writes me like I’m a two-bit whore! Hey, I think I got two bits here… DDDDDDDDDDDDiiiiiiiiieeeeeee!!!! I hate the writer! All he does is insult me, and hate on me, because people think I’m the strongest Godlike around! He’s a horrible person, and I wish he’d… …Ultros, do we live in California? Don’t think so, though technically it’s never actually stated where… Hm…feels like an 8.0. Is Indy in the area, you know, using his magic? No. And why isn’t Cador chasing you anymore? Fell down a sinkhole. Uh…I think that Fourth Wall thing is happening… …I mean, who does he think he is?! Everyone else at the DL likes me, but he…he hates me for no.. Hey, stop talking! You’re tearing apart reality! *sniff* Even you don’t care! You’re just like that stupid writer! I…*pop* Hey, did she just… Oh wonderful…Yuna just broke the Fourth Wall. Now the dimensions are going to pour across each other, vying for control and most likely obliterating us all! The whole world goes to hell, and it’s all Yuna’s fault. Figures. Er…that means we’re all doomed, right? I’d say so… *pop* Grrrrrr… I didn’t even get to finish… *pop* Uh….well, tune in next week, dear readers, assuming we’re still here…*pop* Meanwhile… And baby said… Aaaaaiiiiieeeeeee! Hey, what are you doing? You just interrupted the contest! Contest? Yes, the contest to prove who is better: the all-mighty, handsome, super-sexy me, or Johnny Depp. …where am I?
