I Actually Won?

To My Dearest Ebbie,

I'm still speechless my dear sister. You still remember when we were little that I desperately tried to win you that Woodie Plushie at the Odellia Town Fair back then? No matter how many times I played the ring toss, I couldn't get you that plushie you wanted so badly. Or remember the time when we checked who were the winners of the Dragonica Pageant the other night? It was a good thing you were there, otherwise Gatto would've been turned into fried fat cat. Now we had that other event where these vampires and werewolves invade town, and Gatto also held an event for this, yes? This is no joke Ebbie, I actually won that event.
I received news from Dobby one night saying that I was one of ten winners who won the "GM Monster Spawn Screenshot Contest" He kept cursing me saying that his entry should have won, and showed me where my winning entry was posted. I couldn't believe it. Out of hundreds who participated in this monster-whacking event, I was one of the ten winners! I didn't know how to react. I was also not sure what prize I would be getting. Should I treat all my friends to drinks and a tempura smorgasbord? Should I write to you about this? A lot was going through my mind that time as I was left speechless. I've never really won anything before in any contest.

I know, I know, it's just a silly contest. But you have to feel me Ebbie, and it may sound pathetic as well, but I won. I actually won and I feel so happy about it! It's not the prize that matters, but the PRESTIGE you get with it! I feel so big-headed right now I can actually raise my head up high as I do my daily rounds! Being declared a "hero" of a crazy event is a good thing Ebbie. Oh, I almost forgot. The prize I got was a Vampire Costume that I could wear for a month! Now I could continue masquerading as the Vampire Tempura Knight for a longer period of time!


As you could see in my latest picture, I felt proud enough to wear my Sambaba Helm as well! But that ain't the best part. It's not that I won the event, it's not that I get to wear the helm, but finally, I get to wear PANTS for A WHOLE FRIGGIN MONTH! THAT is why I'm so happy!!!

Oh right, I have a copy here of my winning entry for you to look at in case you're wondering what picture I took. I couldn't even think of a name so i just called it "DEATHBLOW!".

And in the end, I finally now know how it feels to win something. I don't care what prize I get if I win. I just want the prestige and honor that comes with winning it! You know how Dad always used to say to go for it! Why do you think Dad holds the most successful shrimp farm in Libra even to this day?

Stay safe Ebbie! Love ya!

From Your Dear Brother,
Prawnt

OOC: I'd like to thank IAH for choosing my entry as one of the winners, and everyone else who has congratulated me. Thank you all! ;D

To My Dearest Ebbie,

You might have received a letter from Ceaz regarding what happened recently. I only found out just now that I haven't been sent to the netherworld at all! It's Halloween. The spooky occasion! Why didn't I think of that sooner? Well, at least it's alright now. I found out from some random girl that it wasn't Halloween when I tried to suck her blood using my "fangs" and when I realized that I didn't have any fangs at all!Yeah, I had to admit, what I did was really stupid. What also startled me was that Ceaz and Zak told me I was possessed by the sword and I attacked them! I thought it was a dream that time, but it was actually real. I got this really bad lump on my head courtesy of Irichi's "treatment" and I had to put some ice or frost under my helm to help heal it. I also realized that many of us paladins were on holiday leave, so I requested a leave as well!

I went trick or treating with Ceaz and the guys, and we were dressed up in all sorts of costumes, and Zak wore a vampire costume as well. Zak wore this weird wig that made his hair look short and slick. It made me wonder how he could even get all of his long black hair underneath such a thing. We made some poses and came up with some great ones!

We also encountered some weird guys called Pumpkin Cafe' Waiters that drop candies when you beat 'em. I know, I could've just gone from house to house to ask for some candy, but what's more fun than beating up monsters and taking away the candy they have? It tastes great, and it also makes you strong. We thought these were just some troublemakers in costumes at first, but it turns out they really ARE servants of Dracul.

Have you tried wearing various costumes? Personally I enjoy these vampire and werewolf costumes I found. Ceaz and Zak hate my werewolf costume though. They said I almost turned into one when I was possessed by the sword.

Feels weird walking around in it, but it was alright. I enjoyed the whole trick or treating thing.

Stay safe, and Happy Halloween!

Dear Ebbie,

Hi there, this is Ceaz. You may know that your dear brother has been writing strange messages to you recently. Allow me to explain why. I was actually with him on the way to Libra until he drank too much iced tea and fainted. (I know right? Who else gets drunk from iced tea?) By the time we got to Odellia by accident, he now keeps thinking he has died and has been sent to the netherworld, where in reality, it's actually just Halloween decorations and festivities.

Now many new monsters have been causing trouble this time, but Prawnt has decided to "guide our souls back to heaven" and we went along with it. Why did we do it? Zak thought it was fun to mess with Prawnt once in a while. It was also kind of embarrassing being with Prawnt as he was warding off costumed adventurers trick or treating here and there, thinking they were really evil spirits! Well, you think that's weird? Here comes the interesting part.

You may have seen those monsters called Draculs such as this illustration. We all know that if you get bitten by one, you turn into a vampire yourself. Well, as Prawnt was fighting one of these things, he got bitten after he defeated it, and Prawnt suddenly went hysterical. It was as if he was the Count of Van Cliff when he got bitten, and he found this vampire costume, wore it, and proclaimed himself under a new identity. The Vampire Knight.


Ever since then, he has been claiming that he sparkles in the daylight, can seduce any woman he meets, and he suddenly had a craving for eating forest creatures. Yeah, your brother was really effed up that time so Zak and I decided to break the joke to him and tell him it's Halloween. We did tell him but he wouldn't believe us, and he really DOES believe he's been turned into a vampire, and he set out to kill a Dracul for revenge. Zak and I ran after him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.

All he said as he ran was, "THE SWORD COMMANDS ME!!!". It must have something to do with that sword, or he probably inhaled a lot of opium again. So off we went to run after Prawnt, until we found him in the swamps, defeating another Dracul he found.


Is it in the tempura he eats or is he just plain crazy? When we finally caught up to him, all he kept doing was laughing and laughing in a boisterous manner, proclaiming himself as Count Tempura, The Vampire Knight. He also started to talk in this strange accent that even we couldn't understand much. Zak was also starting to lose patience and tried to snap him out of it by punching him in the face. But it didn't hurt Prawnt one bit and he just laughed it off. (Knights ARE tough.)

When we got back to Libra, we met Irichi and the girls, and by this time, Prawnt still thinks he's a real vampire and tried to seduce Irichi. Well, all he got was a massive katar slam in the nuts and that knocked him out for... I think a few hours. Still, it didn't work and he's still under the illusion that he's a vampire... WITH A BODY OF A WEREWOLF UNDERNEATH.


At first I thought he just found half a werewolf costume and wore it, but when we saw his sword glow in an eerie manner, and Irichi claimed they didn't do anything to him recently, maybe he really IS turning into a werewolf because of the sword!!! (Another sign was that his eyes weren't in their usual perverted tone.) The sword was probably messing with his perception of reality, so Zak and I had to stop him. It was an ugly sight, as your brother was hairy all over and technically naked because of the fur.

We fought him as if he were in a trance, Zak told me to concentrate on getting that sword out of his hand. He was tough to beat actually, until Cailey finally came and placed some sort of seal to exorcise the evil spirit out of Prawnt. Prawnt (or the spirit rather) just laughed and told us, "THIS BODY IS OURS. WE WILL DO AS WE PLEASE WITH IT." Suddenly Irichi comes bursting into the room shrieking. She then said something along the lines of, "NO ONE DOMINATES UKE-SAMA BUT ME!!!".

Then the evil spirit replied.

"SILENCE MAN-WOMAN HYBRID."





...







We were startled by what she did to the possessed Prawnt. In a fit of rage, she raised her katar, and using the blunt end, she slammed Prawnt all the way down to the first floor of the inn. What's scary was, we were on the fourth floor that time. As soon as we got down to the first floor, the sword was no longer in Prawnt's hand and it stopped glowing. Zak examined the sword and said the spirit has been exorcised from it. We were all relieved as we saw Prawnt slowly returning to normal. Well, normal as in his usual normal self. We all know how peculiar your brother is, Ebbie.

We were all quite relieved as Prawnt got up and only complained of a severe headache and a few bruises as Cailey went to treat him. Amazingly, he got up and said he was ready to go adventuring again. Well, it really wasn't pleasant on the eyes as he was naked. In the lobby. In front of lots of people. Frustrated, Zak threw him a pair of pants.

So how is Prawnt now? Well he still thinks he's in the netherworld and has been turned into a vampire. So he still goes around town proclaiming to be the Vampire Knight, Hero of the Night or something like that in a helm and vampire costume. He still uses the sword that he was possessed with. Don't worry, Zak said there would be no chance of any evil spirit possessing that sword again. He still won't believe us that it's Halloween and that he's not in the netherworld.

Till then, he'll write to you soon he said.

With regards,
Ceaz

To My Dearest Ebbie,

After my adventures in Faeras I decided to go back to Libra for a well deserved rest. However, on the ferry headed towards home, I suddenly fell asleep. And when I got up, I ended up in Odellia somehow but something was different. Pumpkins were everywhere, everything was dark and spooky, bats kept flying around, and there were so many decorations and candies around town. From that point on, I concluded one thing Ebbie, I was dead. THIS MUST BE THE NETHERWORLD.

(Click image to enlarge.)

I was frightened the time I landed in Odellia. I didn't know what to do, where to go, and more importantly, I didn't even know if I was going to see you again. Now this small blue bat kept following me everywhere I went, and even my sword was different. Now could this be related to that ghost I helped in town the other time? All I could remember was...

(Click image to enlarge.)

Yeah, I guess that's all I could remember. Then I remember seeing Zakriid and Ceaz, and concluded those were their lost souls, and I volunteered to guide them out of the netherworld. So I told both of them to jump into the magma near netherworld Libra and they both knocked me on the head, and I couldn't remember a thing after that. I knew I should have worn my helm that time!

There were also many werewolves and vampires outside of town. As a hero of justice and the bane of all malice, I attacked them without hesitation. I laugh in their faces as they lay defeated.

Now I'm still not sure what is up with all these weird decorations around the netherworld. I'll write to you again as soon as I sort this out. This sword I got is weird... it keeps trying to tell me something in a weird language.

Stay safe! Hope this letter reaches you.

From Your Dear Brother,
Prawnt
