Isles of Sci

I told the celestial cartographer not to go to too much trouble as everyone would probably dispute where everything is anyway!

As my pub was right on the edge of the world i rigged up a pulley system to hang my drinks into the abyss, the coldness of space seemed to chill them quite nicely and very quickly, much quicker than any freezer could. :D I also rigged up a wave generator paddle system to automate my lighthouse so Hamster wouldn't have to keep running it while i was gone...
 
I wondered from my sunbathing rock to the deep deep dwellings of my castle, to the basement, where there lay what would have to be the isle's biggest pavolova man. Electrodes were attached to him, which were then attached to the massive metal pole sticking out of my roof. A storm was brewing overhead, and my igor minion was limbing to me.
"It wouldn't be long now Lady Master."
Suddenly, the sky lit up, and electricity flew down the pole and into my pavolova man. Singed sugar particles toffised, and igor screamed "IT"S ALLLIIIVVVEEE, Lady Master, IT"S ALIVE !"

It moaned a moan that could be heard throughout the isle, and rose onto it's knees, then its feet. It swung a giant arm across the the room and through the walls.
Part of my castle started crumbling away, a gaping hole on the side allowed the wind through. Stumbling as it walked, it climbed through the wall, and stood in the middle of the isle. The thunder rumbled procariously.
 
Spurious walked into the bar again. He wanted to buy 3 crates of Vodka. When I asked why, he said it was none of my business. I said "Oh contrare! Anything to do with my vodka is my business. Here, have a free sample". Sosaying, I gave him about a litre of vodka, and he drunk it. W soon got into a drinking competiotion. Cunningly, I was drinking Water, flavoured with a large amount of alcohol instead of vodka. Spurious eventually collapsed. When he awoke, I asked him what he wanted with my Vodka. He said he had a monopoly on cold vodka and needed more to chill. I pondered this, and decided to join forces with him against the tide of people who wanted vodka. I would make the vodka, he would chill it, and Scramble would sell it in the Bar. With the help of me. Sorted.
 
where there lay what would have to be the isle's biggest pavolova man.

What?..there's more than one?!!! :p

With the vodka crisis seemingly resolved, i commended Hamster on his negotiating skills. I now felt comfortable leaving the pub in his capable hands. I packed my ship with a generous supply of vodka and rations and set sail towards the middle of the isles. I was sure it would be a pretty uneventful trip so i decided to crack open the vodka early...
 
Damn, the hamster tricked me. Well, he thinks he tricked me. I learned to drink in finland and a few bottles of vodka won't take me down.

He doesn't know I have installed hidden cameras in the freezer and miccrophones so now I can spy on his business. I have no clue why I would want to do that of course. But life isn't always about logic.

Some earlier non-scale experiments have in the past existed, but were eaten upon conclusion.

Pav-man stumbled to his feet, and stamped his feet hard enough to cause a small earthquake. The sky rumbled omnisly. A mist of small raindrops began to fall on us all. I grabbed two hammers from the table, and with a running jump, latched onto pavman. Using the hammers to hack into the sweet-sugary coat, i managed to climb onto his shoulder.
Then an apiphany struck me. The surface of pavman was becoming sticky, and had begun to dissolve somewhat. The rain became heavier, and with each drop, the sugar was melting.
 
The sugar was melting..........

It was if Pavman had realised this, as if this thought had occured to him as well, electricity flowing among the egg-white sugar particals in its head. He struck at castles randomly, then started walking towards the sea, as if to excape certian distruction.

A few steps into the ocean, and his feet had lost too much of their coating, and he began to fall into the watery abiss of death. I hooked my hammers into what was left of his coating, and hacked my way onto the highest point of him, but the pavolova bits were still slowly melting into the ocean. Already, the pavolova was almost too soft to walk onto.

I was stuck there, in the ocean, with no means of getting back to dry land. My only hope was a small boat, full of cases, a little way off. If the owner saw me before the disctruction of pavman was complete, my life would be spared. Or i'd have to swim.

Either way, it's wouldn't be pretty.
 
So there i was sailing along minding my own business when i saw something in the distance.I didn't know if it was the vodka playing tricks on me but it appeared to be an iceberg, or at least a big white lump of some description! I decided to sail in for a closer look. There was a girl clinging to the strange lump and it was sinking fast... what was I to do?... I decided to sail right past...
I looked behind me and was surprised to see that she didn't see the humour in that at all, so i turned back and picked her up. The poor thing, she was covered in some kind of sticky goo and she had been out here so long her that her feet were starting to turn blue.
I asked her what had happened and immediately she started crying, saying "it was never meant to be this way, it was supposed to be a thing of beauty...not this...abomination, how was i to know pavolova could be so evil?"
It was one of those awkward situations where i didn't know what to say (or have a have a clue what the f**k she was talking about) so I grabbed a towel and started to wipe the goo off, when she jumped up and yelled "what the fuck?!!"... Geez, i was no stranger to blunt rejections but this was a new benchmark even for me... and i wasn't even tryin!!! I started to explain myself when she yelled "not you stupid, look behind you!!" I turned around and to my horror there was a giant tentacle slithering up over the side of the boat...
 
....so , using both hammers, i drove my hands down as hard as i could, into the tentacle reaching for my new found friend. It flared up, but still came forward.
I stumbled back, running into the other guy, who was looking up with a dazed look on his face, and an empty vodka bottle in his hand. Taking the bottle, i smashed it on the side of the boat and struck the tentacle with it.
With a shriek, it subsided back into the water, oozing green blood everywhere.
 
We both stared at the reminants of our encounter. Without looking down, my new friend reached for another bottle, popped the lid, and took another swing.
Anyway, figured i probably should introduce myself.
"Hey, i'm "my Sexy Blue Feet' , the local sunbaker. Thanks for saving my life . Where's the kitchen?"
 
I ask for some vodka, but everyone's giving me weird looks, the hamster, the bartender and the monkey keep exchanging odd looks and no-one wants to serve me. Damn these people.
 
The fish is looking nutty at me...he seems desperate. I have seen that facial expresson before. I have seen it in the mirror. He needs a drink...I hand him a bottle of chilled vodka underneath the table and give him a wink...
 
Seeing the way 'Blue had quickly dispensed with the sea creature i was quite impressed! This girl could obviously handle herself in tough situations.
We introduced ourselves and thanked each other for saving our respective lives. She said "cool, wheres the kitchen?" I showed her but only after making her promise not to make any more demonic desserts.
She wandered off downstairs so i settled back to finish off my vodka. I pondered my good luck as she seemed pretty cool and i had been forced to set out on my journey alone coz Combine had never turned up. I wondered what had happened to him.
Then my thoughts turned to Spurious, although he had dropped in to the pub i never had the chance to speak with him either. I decided to charter a new course in the direction Hamster had said he saw him leave...

I've begun experimenting with other mixtures.....cheesecake, mudcake, muffin mix, cookie dough, but i haven't found anything as a good substitute yet. Scamble forbid me to make any more monsters, plus i don't have any of my minions handy. And there HAS to be an igor screaming "it's alive!", otherwise it's doomed to fail. What can i say?

So i'm researching for when i get home. I have NO idea where on non-earth we're going, but hey, i can sunbake, so alll is good.

Actually, that gave me an idea......

Neway, I've been watching scramble, but all he ever seems to do is drink. After the last time he passed out, i rigged his compass with a magnet inside it. Figured neither one of us has no bloody idea where we're going, so at least this makes it official.
 
"Yes, he went that way Scramble. No, I don't know why he left. No, he didn't tell me. Yes I'm sure. Yes, here's a bottle. Bye."

Well, the bar is now in my hands again. I went into the storeroom to have a shot or ten to steady my nerves. As I walked in, it became apparent that something was missing. Then, the penny dropped. THE FRIDGE WAS GONE!!!! There would be no cold vodka! I immediately got on the phone to the local authorities, only to find that they didnt exist. I told all the residents of the isles that until spurious was found (or another, bigger, colder fridge was bought) there would be no cold vodka.

The hunt was on...
 
I think we're going in circles. Very large circles, but circles nevertheless. I wonder if we go fast enough, if we will create whirlpools :D ?
