Re: The Grand Failure - COMPLETELY FULL OKAY

Tobias could do little more than stare in disbelief at the chaos he found himself in. He pinched hisself, hoping to discover that at some point he had fallen asleep and this was nothing more than a bizarre dream, but as much as he willed it that he wake up in his bed in good old Cobrand City he did not. This, whatever this was, was very real.
This world had no consistency. Initially they had been put down upon a massive stone platform in the clouds. Tobias had to presume based on the prescence of clouds that they were indeed on a planet, something he wasn't used to, but there was no discernible hum that would indicate the presence of an antigravity engine. It just somehow seemed to hang there improbably in the sky. There was a house on the platform, though it seemed to have been completely ignored by everyone he had been brought here with, as in fact had he. The platform itself had broken in half upon multiple occassions and conveniently reformed through no discernible mechanism.
At one point Tobias had found himself transplanted into someone's bedroom where was a man with a small grey bowler hat and a moustache looking miserable in a wheel chair, but before anything had come of this change in scenario he was back atop the incredulously floating platform. A similiar incident had occurred later when the platform was inexplicably replaced with a modern tiled bathroom containing a mummy with a robotic arm. Which incidentally was another thing about this incredible conflict; every now and again a new participant would appear and be usered away as though they had never existed. At one point the mummified carpet shampooer had hopped simply wandered off and a burlap sack with the heads of dragons mounted to it had appeared out of nowhere. It had started barking orders at itself and was now wandering around the platform cluelessly while it's heads argued. Actually, Tobias reconsidered, they only had the appearance of arguing. One was actually just saying the word 'blah' repeatedly while the other was, clumsily relating how it liked to burn things.
Tobias sighed. He had had quite enough of this, he would let someone else deal with this mess of contradictions and incomprehenisibility. He withdrew back to his mind mansion where the other personalities had gathered in his rooftop bedroom. The personality that had witnessed all this of course, was Ernie. He was the most sociable personality and the one that was generally put in charge. He had the power of air, which would be useful in this setting, if someone actually involved him in a fight that is...
"What the hell?" Graham asked. Ernie could do little but shrug.
"I was kind of hoping that you would have know." He said. "Working things out is more your area of expertise after all." Graham shook his head.
"There's no rhyme nor reason." He said. "If there was some thread of internal logic I could grasp I would happily do so... but alas not." Barry stepped forwards.
"Look." He said. "We were told that this is a battle to the death and that's exactly what it appears to be. Okay things are coming and going and everything is a bit weird but what the hell. If we we just go with it, and kill these people then we can go back home. Back to where things make sense." There was a moment of quiet between the personalities and then William piped up.
"I suggest we wait and see what happens." He said. "From what I have seen the others are extremely dangerous and are keen to kill one another. We do not need to make ourselves a target just yet. We sit back and wait and see how this thing plays out."
"That is your solution?" Barry snapped. "Inaction? We are in a perilous situation here and you want to stand around and see what happens." A moment of animosity between the conflicting personalities was cut short by Graham's intervention.
"We can maintain a neutrality without the need for inaction." He said. "That hut which has been pointedly ignored by all the other contestants. We should go into there and determine exactly what lies inside."
"And that will help how?" Barry retorted.
"Knowledge is always useful and who knows perhaps it will explain what exactly is going on here." Graham countered. A moment of contemplation, everyone looked to Ernie to make the choice.
"We find out what is in the hut." Ernie said thoughtfully. "And hope to hell it helps make this place make a modicum of sense." Barry scowled.
"Fine." He said with a sigh. "I guess that once you've gone in there and you discover that it is just as erratic as the rest of this place then we can get on with actually fighting."
"Graham, if you want to take the helm?" Ernie asked. Graham shook his head.
"I specialise in logic and manipulation of earth and I have seen neither in this battle so far." He said. "No water either. It's you or Barry and..." he shot Barry a quick glance, "I'm going to go with you." William nodded in agreement.
"Fine..." Ernie said resignedly. He returned to the body of Tobias and set off towards the until now ignored hut.
Macula come back and deiced go afetr the Nitebatman. He unleash an encient curse on Nightbat, which cause his skin to go all black and shadowy and his life was being corrupted. Macula snickered at the Nightbat.
"Ha." he said. "Soon your body would be a vessel for the ancient egyptican god Osris!"
"Oh no." Said Batman.
"Oh yes." Said Macula.
