Savannah Reynolds says, "And this year, the parade is led by Ichiko
Daiumi, kicking off our fun and games theme."
Ichiko Daiumi appears, riding with Reiko Umino on a float bearing a
giant pinball machine titled Rock The Island!
Ichiko Daiumi waves.
Ichiko Daiumi waves happily to the crowd; Reiko just glances around
at you and kind of smiles, before taking a coin from a stack of giant Moradian
dollars.
Ichiko Daiumi takes the coin, drops it into the slot, and begins play,
with Reiko on the opposing flipper button; the ball rolls out of the Port
Authority park onto the playing field.
Ichiko Daiumi hits her flipper button, sending the ball caroming off
a bus stop marker outside the Palm Frond Pub and onto the Island Highway
for a circle through the West End.
Ichiko Daiumi nods quickly to Reiko, who uses her flipper to send the
ball through Embassy Square, bouncing off bumpers painted with images of
menacing brawlers. Looks like a clean sweep!
Ichiko Daiumi watches the ball pass Madame Rosalie's, causing a tarot
card gate to spin wildly. The 'sun' card is facing her when the spinning
stops.
Ichiko Daiumi hits her flipper again, sending the ball past the Town
Hall, where it lights up the Moradian flag. A nearby squad car lights up,
too..looks like the ball ran a red light!
Ichiko Daiumi blushes and gets a traffic ticket from a portly police
officer, but continues playing. Now the ball is heading towards the Emporium.
Ichiko Daiumi moves quickly, working in tandem with Reiko to pick off
lettered pads reading 'KING MATT' for bonus points. Good teamwork there!
Ichiko Daiumi looks over at her partner as Reiko yawns suddenly, and
misses the ball with her flipper, which drops off the field.
Ichiko Daiumi winces and watches the ball drop into a hole marked 'this
way to The TRENCH'. Loud music and flashing light erupts from the machine.
But she and Reiko have plenty of coins left!
Ichiko Daiumi bows.
Leanne Qiao removes the sheet from her float.
Leanne Qiao appears onto the field, tugging a mechanical collector's
cards float behind her.
Leanne Qiao waves.
Leanne Qiao's float consists of all the collector's cards painted on
the float and 2 figures standing on the stage of the float: Lazlo
Grayson and a small child. The small child is holding a package of
collector's card, and Lazlo is holding a collector's card case in one hand
and motioning the child to give him the package of cards with the other.
Leanne Qiao's float constantly moves; the child giving Lazlo a pack
of collector's cards Lazlo snatching the cards from the child with a wicked
grin on his face, and the sound of evil cackling echoing from the speakers
attached onto the float.
Leanne Qiao hums a short ditty, making a funny face as it comes out
a little wrong.
Leanne Qiao asks, "Hmm...what's this button for?"
Leanne Qiao pushes a button on her float and Lazlo turns towards the
crowd. The card collector's case in his hand is acutually a water hose
in disguise! He shoots a large stream of water towards the audience
drenching everyone as the float passes by, the speaker howling with laughter!
Leanne Qiao exclaims, "oops!"
Leanne Qiao snickers.
Leanne Qiao cackles gleefully.
Leanne Qiao says, "I mean, sorry."
Leanne Qiao coughs.
Leanne Qiao pushes another button and the small child turns and starts
shooting out foam, covering eveyrone.
Leanne Qiao taps a sheer red triangle top bikini with tie bottom.
Leanne Qiao says, "It why I wore this"
Leanne Qiao waves to the drenched crowed on the bleachers, and tugging
her float behind her, walks off the football field. The water shooting
water and foam at everyone in sight.
Leanne Qiao curtsies.
Leanne Qiao tries to shut the button off, but it appears to have malfunctioned!
Leanne Qiao kicks the float and it starts shooting water and foam at
full blast!
Leanne Qiao exclaims, "Sorry!"
Leanne Qiao exclaims, "I didn't know it'll do this!"
Savannah Reynolds says, "And next up is Wegarius! I really think
so, anyway."
Wegarius Hodge asks, "Is Leanne done dousing us?"
Leanne Qiao says, "I'm trying to fix it."
Flipping open a leather ankle sheath, Leanne Qiao draws a razor-sharp
titanium icepick etched with white spiderweb designs with a quick twirl.
Leanne Qiao thinking quickly uses her razor sharp icepick to slice
off the water and foam hose.
Leanne Qiao folds her arms in triamph as the foam and water suddendly
stops flowing...must have ran out.
Flipping open her ankle sheath, Leanne Qiao twirls a razor-sharp titanium
icepick etched with white spiderweb designs in her hand as she stuffs it
into the sheath.
Leanne Qiao exclaims, "Really, it is!"
Leanne Qiao says, "Sorry."
Leanne Qiao ducks her head.
Leanne Qiao exclaims, "I told you guys to change!"
Savannah Reynolds exclaims, "And now for Weg!"
Wegarius Hodge asks, "Shall I go now?"
Wegarius Hodge nods.
Wegarius Hodge jogs over to his float and hops on.
Wegarius Hodge approaches, sitting in a fetal position on his float.
He seems to be on the outer edge of a wheel that is slowly revolving, looping
Weg around as it comes closer.
Wegarius Hodge touches the hat he usually wears and smiles to the crowd
as he comes around on the wheel and faces the bleachers. You can
see that he is sitting in a little box on the wheel marked "32".
The edge of the wheel is marked with the other numbers and the colors normally
found on a roulette wheel.
Wegarius Hodge waves as his float continues off the field.
Shalie MacIntosh exclaims, "I WIN!"
Wegarius Hodge gets off the float and comes back to the bleachers.
Shalie MacIntosh collects her winnings.
Shalie MacIntosh's pearl eternity band glows as she kisses Wegarius.
Wegarius Hodge's pearl eternity band glows as he kisses Shalie.
Shalie MacIntosh beams happily.
Courtney Chisolm grabs Shalie's hand and runs behind the bleachers to
get ready for their entrance.
Savannah Reynolds says, "And Courtney and Shalie cooked up something
for us"
Courtney Chisolm stiffly moves across a chess board made of black and
white orchid petals as the Island Guide float pulls into view. From her
movement, it's obvious that Courtney represents a black pawn.
Shalie MacIntosh waves regally scoffing in Courtney's direction as
she moves forward in her queenly role.
Courtney Chisolm sidesteps Shalie's countering move, smiling broadly
as she keeps her little pawnly self in the game. Wait a minute ... did
Courtney actually stick out her tongue at Shalie?
Shalie MacIntosh beams as former members of the Guides, serving as
the remainder of the chess pieces, move forward and around protecting the
queen.
Courtney Chisolm beckons another black piece to move forward, putting
Shalie in a dangerous spot.
Shalie MacIntosh shoves a plastic bishop dressed up as Weg into place
to save her.
Courtney Chisolm frantically calls on her forces of blackness, yelling,
"Knight two to Bishop one!" as all the black pieces rush the white queen.
Laughing as they pull themselves from the pile, Courtney and Shalie stand
up in the middle of the board and unfurl a banner that reads, "The Games
Islanders Play." They smile broadly and wave to the crowd as the float
rolls out of sight.
Daniel Moses says, "What no Dylan for a last minute counter move"
Courtney Chisolm says, "Bah! I don't need a man to fight my battles."
Courtney Chisolm scoffs.
Leanne Qiao stares at as the cackling of the speakers can still be
faintly heard.
Courtney Chisolm leans on Shalie MacIntosh.
Courtney Chisolm says, "Good job, queenie."
Leanne Qiao exclaims, "Lazlo cut it out!"
Savannah Reynolds says, "Next up is Tassel"
Tassel Windlass comes rumbling by in an old American convertible with
lots of chrome. In the back seat, Tassel is seated, wearing nothing
besides a green turban and an orange speedo swimsuit (looking pretty buff,
too), and his skin has been completely dyed purple! Tas is handing out
Pixie Sticks candy to all the children who both clamor for the candy and
behind his back snicker at the fool Tas is making of himself.. The convertible
drives by the bleachers and turns the corner.'.
Nora Blue covers Leanne's float with a sheet and beats it with a sledgehammer.
Savannah Reynolds says, "And now Adam has an entry"
Adam Grath runs onto the field and puts down his boombox and presses
play.
Adam Grath dances around as "PUMP UP THE JAM" begins to play.

of his attache case he pulls out a pair of pom poms.

as she realizes how foolish she is.
Nora Blue peers under the sheet at Leanne's float. The foam gun remains
intact!
Courtney Chisolm gets a distant look on her face as she ponders.
Angel Weir says, "Oh, I get it."
Adam Grath quickly runs behind one of the other floats and comes out
wearing a MBA jersey and shorts with "?" on the jersey.
Adam Grath dodging the puddles and foam piles he quickly dribbles his
ball.
Courtney Chisolm asks, "MBA?"
Adam Grath suddenly he comes to a stop realizing he doesn't have a
basketball hoop to run for.
Courtney Chisolm gets a distant look on her face as she ponders.
Angel Weir says, "Morada Basketball..."
Adam Grath gasps aloud.
Nora Blue quietly nudges the button on Leanne's float with her foot
and foam sprays all over Adam! What a mess!
Adam Grath rubs his head.
Adam Grath suddenly gets an idea and runs to the other end of the field.
Courtney Chisolm leans over to Savannah and whispers, "Is Momanda the
mascot of the MBA?"
Adam Grath jumps up and triumpthantly dunks the ball into the field
goal scoring 2 points for the home team!
Adam Grath puts the volume louder on the boom box.
Adam Grath shakes his groove thing.

him for disturbing the piece.

a little wrong.

the crowd. 'Sorry ladies and gentlemen! This mans display wasn't part of
the act!
Adam Grath gets dragged away to the Police department.
Adam Grath falls free as the port officers slip on some foam.
Adam Grath runs for the gate laughing like a maniac and lockpicking
the handcuffs he's wearing.
Adam Grath yells, "I'm free!"
Leanne Qiao holds up a sign that reads "RUN FORREST RUN!"
Leanne Qiao scribbles out Forrest and changes it to Adam.
Savannah Reynolds rolls into view on top of a HUGE Bingo card.
Behind the card, you see a mock-up of a basket to tumble the numbers, and
a big board that has various numbers lit up.
Savannah Reynolds runs back and forth on the giant Bingo card, placing
chips on various squares. She accidentally knocks a chip off
a square and furrows her brow as she tries to remember where it was.
Savannah Reynolds suddenly looks around and smiles, waving to the crowd
in the bleachers and dropping an armful of chips. As the float
rolls away, you can hear her scream in annoyance and she is clearly flailing
her arms like a madwoman.
Savannah Reynolds exclaims, "And next up is Nora!"
Nora Blue jumps up excitedly.
Nora Blue runs behind the bleachers.
Nora Blue marches happily onto the parade route dragging something
behind her. Upon closer inspection, it appears to be... a little
red wagon? Does she know this is a parade and not a tea party?!
Nora Blue gets a happy grin on her face as she tosses a handful of
rainbow-colored confetti into the air!
Nora Blue iS pulling a little red wagon! Oddly, it seems to be
filled with stuffed animals, T-shirts, and other paraphernalia from *every*
event ever held on the island. If she is any indication of what other
people on the island collect, it is no wonder they had to expand the lockers!
Nora Blue gets a happy grin on her face as she tosses a handful of
rainbow-colored confetti into the air!
Nora Blue beams happily at the crowd, oblivious to all that is around
her. Suddenly, her wagon hits a rut and a couple plastic mosquitos
and CMPD badges bounce out of the back of her wagon! Nora turns to
see what the clatter was and trips over her own big feet. Her cardboard
tiara slips down over one eye. What a sorry sight. The judges wince
expressively.
Nora Blue gets a happy grin on her face as she tosses a handful of
rainbow-colored confetti into the air!

in the foam that clings to her from a previous float, making her look even
more ridiculous!

rainbow-colored confetti into the air!
Nora Blue blows kisses at the audience and wanders off the field.

for simple minds, right?

rainbow-colored confetti into the air!

Proudly displayed on the sides, a bright blue and red lable, "Daecy's Dark"
and a flashy banner "Morandan Teamsters Union #147"
Max Wolf grimances as his float lurches and backfires. Twice!
Startling half the crowd. Wheeling around in front of the bleachers,
he turns and pulls a firehose out and connects it to the float..
Max Wolf chuckles and tip his worn leather fedora at you, a scoundrals
grin on his face as he hoists his firehose and aims it right at You!
Max Wolf suddenly the floats tire slide in the foam soaking the ground,
spoling his aim. Beer sprays all over the band, adding to the mess.
With a rougish wink he drives the float off the feild.
Shalie MacIntosh points to a float coming in.
Shalie MacIntosh looks confused as a float covered in ghostly white
enters the field. Nothing appears to be on the float.

the float. On the stage is Morada's own boy band featuring Jaku,
