Hello to all moodies in IRM,

Okay, as promised, here's something for all of you. The cast and crew of the coming 11 series of story include about 20 odd of u.

It is hoped that none of u take this story seriously because it's meant for pure entertainment and reading pleasure, nothing more, nothing less. :)

All of u are free to follow up and add in or change whatever u see apt. It kinda makes the story more interesting this way.

If I have offended any of you, it is unintentional on my part, and I do apologize. If not, please sit back and enjoy!

Happy holidays!!

Sincerely,
x!Ao P!nG GuO

ONCE upon a time in the Land of IRM, there lived a king named Two-Face.

He was a strange king because he locked himself up in his castle known as Arkham Asylum. He eats toothpaste and always carries with him a fair coin. One day, he fell sick, terribly sick. There was not a single thing his subjects could do. The royal physician, H0nL, tried to feed him HL milk mixed with pEaNuTs shell, which was the best food in Arkham, but the king's condition kept worsening.

Just when the king was about to give up all hopes, rumour had it that if he were to have a dose of the precious Cactus, he would recover. The king immediately set order that whoever brings the Cactus to him will be rewarded accordingly.

The Cactus is guarded by the powerful magician Ro, who commands all forces of evil in his cave, Darkfire. All past quests to seek the Cactus were unsuccessful because nobody could get past him.

After much argument, the team selected for this mission includes the following warriors:

Excalibur (who slays anyone and anything that stood in his path)

        Once upon a time there was an Excalibur in bbs. Note that this Excalibur
        was not the excalibur that we now know. :)

Phoenix Hawk (who flies to great height with eyes as sharp as any hawk can have)

piLLow (who owns a HUGE pillowcase which is able to serve as a flying carpet)

Dilbert (who commands the ferocious Dogbert, Hound of the castle)

        --------------------------Note to readers--------------------------------
        Dilbert and Dogbert of bbs, anyone remembers them? :)

        Another one who has left NUS. :(

Last but not least, BearBear, (with her super powerful bearz pawz, absolutely no man alive can outfight her)

        --------------------------Note to readers--------------------------------
        The author is pretty sure that most would remember this cute gal. :D
