The Random Club - Episode 1 - Meet the Gang |
|
Ever feel like doing something REALLY random, and had no-one to do it with? Have no fear, the random club is here! The Random Club is a group of young adults who hang out at the Random Lodge, the location of which changes weekly… and each time it changes the new location is entirely random! The club founder is none other than the famous Jimmay Noxington… Well, he’s not really famous, but the rest of the Random Club refer to him like he’s a famous celebrity. He has dark, short hair and blue eyes. The other members each have their own quirks and each one contributes to making each random idea as wacky as possible. - Club Smart ‘Alek’… literally. Meet Alek Stors, who, although highly knowledgeable, doesn’t fall under the geek category. He usually comes up with more ideas than any other member of the club. He has short blond hair and hazel eyes. - Club Gamer, Nick Roll. If the club manages to get a Lodge with power, you’ll find Nick lugging in his XBOX 360, PS3, or Wii. If the Lodge lacks electricity, Nick will bring in his DS or PSP. Some of the things the club does include trying to accomplish random stuff on his many games… like jam to Trogdor on Expert Mode. He has medium length brown hair and matching eyes. - Club Cheerleader, Lizzy Coochard. When not hanging out with the random club, Lizzy can be found practicing her cheers. She tends to act like everything requires a little pep and spirit, so naturally she cheers for the rest of the Random Club as they go about their wacky hobbies. She has long blond hair and blue eyes. - Club Dude, Braydon Tanner. Braydon dresses and acts like a skater, but doesn’t actually skateboard. The only word he ever says is ‘dude’ and its many variations. He has short brown hair and blue eyes. Enough about getting to know the club, how about actually meeting them? It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, and Jimmay was sitting on the couch at home. ----------- “Man, I’m so BORED!” shouted Jimmay. “I’ve been sitting at home all day with nothing to do! Alek is studying for Monday’s test, Nick’s trying to beat his high score on Tetris, Lizzy is practicing her cheers for the football game, and Braydon… who knows what he does in his spare time.” Jimmay got to his feet and started to pace. “I’ve got to find something REALLY random to do by myself… But I can’t! That was the reason the club was made!” He walked over to the door and opened it. “I’ll go to the Random Lodge, maybe Alek is done studying…” ----------- BEEP! Another line! That made 100. Nick was still quite a ways from reaching his high score though. He brushed the hair out of his eyes and clicked a button on his GameBoy, turning the block. It landed perfectly between the others, completing his 101st line. Suddenly, Nick heard a loud roar. “What the…?” he mumbled, still focusing on the small screen before him. Seconds later, the phone rang. Nick sighed, pausing his Tetris game and tossing the handheld onto the couch. He ran to the phone and picked it up, noting that the caller display said it was Lizzy’s cell phone calling. “Hello?” said Nick. “Nick? Is that you? Come to the school, quick!” shouted Lizzy. She sounded like she was crying. “I’ll… I’ll be right there!” Nick replied. He slammed the receiver back onto the wall, and ran out the open door, right past his Mom who was carrying groceries in. Nick flung himself onto his bike and took off towards the school. -------- Jimmay stopped walking and crossed the street. There was a calm stream running through the bank on this side of the road. Jimmay ran down the hill to the stream, and used the stepping stones to cross it without much difficulty. This wasn’t the first time the Random Lodge was in this general area. He ran past a few scattered trees until he was under the cover of a heavy forest. Glancing around, he spotted the arrow he had carved into a tree with his pocket knife. Jimmay ran a bit more before coming to a clearing with a huge oak in the center. In the shade of this tree were five chairs in a circle. The Random Lodge. On one of the seats sat none other than Braydon. “Hey Braydon, what’cha up to today?” called Jimmay. Braydon turned to face Jimmay, a serious look in his eye. “Dude.” he said. --------- Nick was almost at the school when he heard the sirens. A smoke stack could be seen from the direction of the school. Pedaling a little harder, he soon saw the school… and the airplane that had crashed into it. Redrock High… in ruins. He jammed down both brakes and stared in awe. Lizzy ran up to him, in tears. “Nick, the plane! The plane! It crashed into the school!” shouted Lizzy, stating the obvious. Nick just continued to look in disbelief at the police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances that surrounded the school. And then there was the school itself, the school where he had spent his freshman year and where he was still spending his sophomore year; the school where the Random Club, the Club that had given him friends, was founded. ---------- “Dude.” repeated Braydon, a cold, serious look in his eye, completely out of character. “Tomorrow’s ‘Random Event’… We’re going to rob the corner store.” TO BE CONTINUED NEXT MONTH! |
