Your name is Helena Paris and you have just invented an outfit that allows the wearer to actually perform what would be known to most people as "magic", but it's actually bending the laws of physics with technology. You'd explain to the nearest bystander about this phenomenon, but they probably wouldn't get it. So you instead go to your favorite cafe and order what you usually get- chai tea and a chocolate croissant. She also meets with her hipster boyfriend, Jonathan Mc Chambers. he loves coffee and he is very poor, but he likes to make music and owns a guitar. he also knows karate and is also a very polite person.

In a moment of confusion, you think that your name is John, but since I can't think of many women whose first name is "John" this idea is disqualified. Your name is actually Helena Dimentio. It just rolls right off the tongue. You managed to successfuly develop cool thingamajics that let you successfully mess up the laws of physics, like, three years ago. You consider exlaining your invention to the nearest civilian, but the local neighborhood families are getting kind of sick of you doing this everday for the last three years, so you decide against it. Instead, you go to your favorite cafe, Spacebucks. (Asphoxia)
Once you arrive, you discover Johnathan McChambers, Helena's boyfriend except she's like forty so they're probably married by now and he's also a hipster who knows like five instruments which is pretty cool. He's currently playing an acoustic version of "All Star" by Smash Mouth because a bunch of kids bothered him a lot about it. (EmperorToad, OshaliteX2) You get your favorite meal, a chai tea and a chocolate croissant, except they're from the future so they're all shiny and stuff, and then go to join him. Now I'm out of actions and ideas so what will you do now?

Well, first and foremost. You have to lie on the ground, face up. Slowly start performing pull-ups. And systematically chant...
"FUUUUUUUUTUUUUUUUUURRRRRREEEEE...FUUUUUTUUUUUUUUURRRRRREEEEE...FUUUUUTUUUUUURRRREEEEEE..."
...Good. Got that out of your system.
Anyways, as Helena Dimentio, you basically have to carry out the Dimentio Family line's typical traditions. One of these- which is very important and should never be questioned- is your need to make outlandishly hilarious comparisons every other sentence, like a toddler trying out a pink zoot suit 40 sizes too big for him. The other is betrayal. Sweet, sweet betrayal...
You use these two traditions to get your hands on your probably not completely consensually-married husband's lunch.

Change your first name to "John" as an expression of your individuality and then steal the children who requested "All Star" as well as the lunch.

You try to change your first name to John, but you miss all the letters and accidentally change your name to Helena. (Treble Tech) Realizing that you are in the future, you do a bunch of push-ups while chanting "FUUUUUTUUUUUUUURE". This accomplishes nothing other than making Jonathan give you a weird look. (Sable-Xeno) Since we can't have an emotionally stable protagonist for once, you decide to follow your heritage by acting exactly like Dimentio, but you realize that you are your own individual human being, and don't need to follow in your great-grandpappy's footsteps. Which is helpful, because I lack the ability required to come up with all of these outlandish comparisons and I also have not played Super Paper Mario. However, you still decide to steal your husband's lunch. Unfortunately, he steals your lunch. You two frequently do this, but it looks like this time you both forgot to buy the other person's lunch so it would all work out, so now you're stuck with pumpkin spice oat meal. (Sable-Xeno) In a fit of rage, you steal the lunches of all the snotty, "All Star"-requesting children. Then you throw your oatmeal into the face of the guy who looks like the leader of the bunch. (Treble Tech) Unfortunately, this child happened to be Elroy Jetson, and the incident attracts the attention of the family. George Jetson is fittingly enraged, and challenges you and Jonathan to a Future Duel. Do you accept?

Oh, right! Silly me. I never specified anything for Jonathan to do in the duel! While Helena seems to be a trainer of sorts, perhaps not too unlike certain characters in the past, Jonathan prefers battling his own way. A way that...won't actually be described in this post, because making Planet have to write over a paragraph of work when he still has so many actions to process just isn't fair for the poor guy. Maybe next post. There's a certain other individual in this cafe, sipping from his future Mocha Latte. A rather pristine armored-looking fella, with certain meaty, claw-like appendages. He seems to be viewing a video on his laptop: an ancient clip of old human lore, depicting a man getting his coffee cup completely destroyed by another man with a chocolate bow. The video's title: "G0d0t gets MLG_pwned by Shu_Takoomi", dating back from the year 20xx, with over 678,189,527,324,873,109,367,326,612,413 views. "...Ah, the internet. What an amazing device for learning of past culture..." He clicks out of the video and into another video. "Hamilton: the Play: the Movie. Based on a True Story, and real-life footage by cinematographer Takumi" What's this? An OC? In Planet's CYOA? Oh, what are the odds?

Also Super Paper Mario is good, play it I WANT TO MAAAAAAAN BUT I DONT GOT THE GAME AND I KEEP FORGETTING TO LOOK FOR IT Of course, Helena accepts George Jetson's challenge, and the two walk outside of the bar to begin the Future Duel. (Sable-Xeno, OshaliteX2) They gather in a park just outside, which is filled with natural greenery. However, the garden floats in the middle of the future city, and walkways travel all around it. You and Johnathan had to cross a small bridge to get there, while the Jetson's took a flying car. Everyone is getting ready for the duel, and a crowd is beginning to gather. It includes the Jetson kids, who are too young to participate, and one of Sable's OCs who is too busy watching YouTube videos from many years ago to pay much attention, it seems. After the clock strikes three or something, the Future Duel begins. Future Duel's are basically epic battles when you use your inventions to wreck the other team, and they're completely legal unless someone dies, then you can get arrested. So don't do that. Too begin, Helena sends out Fred Flinstone using her invention: The Pokéball. (Sable-Xeno, OshaliteX2) Meanwhile, Johnathan McChambers waits to see the Jetson's next move. (Sable-Xeno) First, George Jetson pulls out his invention, a laser pistol that can fire TWO BULLETS AT ONCE and starts shooting at you. Meanwhile, Jane Jetson attacks using one of those housekeeping robots that I'm fairly certain showed up in The Jetsons at some point, having never actually seen the show. Also, a small cup-like objects magically materializes in your hand. (Asphoxia) You're not sure what the item is, but since you do not own it, using it in the Future Duel woud be illegal. You put it away. What will you do now? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Meanwhile, a long time ago, when Sir Galleth Keeby roamed the land, a group of knights are beginning a quest. The group was led by King Arthur, and included Sir Bedevire the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Galahad the Pure, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot. The party also included Robin's Minstrels. You are one of these minstrels, even though you are pretty terrible at music. However, the knights keep you around due to your outlandish skill with a broom. In fact, you vanquished many a foe with your broom, such as several Rodents of Unusual Size, a particularly large Unladen Swallow (of the African variety), and one of Robin's Minstrels. The group recently received a message from God, informing them that they must obtain the Holy Grail by traveling into the future and vanquishing a mysterious creature known only by the name "Helena". King Arthur was fairly confident that he could complete this quest, disrgarding the fact that they were in entirely the wrong time period. This was because King Arthur knew of another way. He had once heard a rumor that a time machine had been left in England by a man in all white with strange orange hair. Unfortunately, the time machine had fallen into the hands of the French, and no one in the group was particularly pleased about encountering them. However, the show must go on! But first, what is your name?

Helena weaponize the cup into a CUP LASER or something in the blink of an eye using your future powers.
Holy grail person: Your name is Jim Johnny Gurglestump and you wield a magical sword that lets you talk nonstop about tea even as you're dueling, diminishing your opponent's will to fight. Tales of your exploits will eventually lead to the formation of a certain superhero group.

Helena: Have Fred Flinstone start deflecting the bullets using a bird in the shape of a club, not unlike Ness.
Bird in the shape of a club: say "It's a living!"
Jonathan: Suddenly announce you have to go to the bathroom, running off. Soon after Jonathan runs off, someone else enters the scene, in a flash...it's El Kabong! Wileding a menacing invention...the 2-ton rocket guitar! He isn't disqualified from participating in the duel only because the chicks love him, and the guys want to be him. Also because everyone knows it's actually Jonathan, acting under a persona to avoid circumventing his self-proclaimed 'pacifism', but that's a topic for another day

Helena, in a desparate gamble, attempts to weaponize the cup (which is, of course, the Holy Grail, if you hadn't realized that) so that it can shoot cool lasers and stuff. She succeeds in utilizing its HEAVENLY POWERS to shoot HOLY DEATH BEAMS. (OshaliteX2) She blasts the beams at Jane Jetson's housekeeping robot, which somehow pulls it into a pocket dimension. (Asphoxia) Jane Jetson shouts, "OH, SPACE CATTLE DROPPINGS!" and then sets to work building a new robot. Meanwhile, George Jetson is a little worried about having to fight on his own for a bit. So, he shoots more bullets. Helene pulls out a weird bird, and uses it to hit the bullets out of the air. The bird yells, "It's a living!" No one cares. (Sable-Xeno) George tries a new tactic, dashing towards Helena while shooting more bullets. In response, Helena tells Fred Flintstone to defend her. (Treble Tech). He agrees, and runs towards George as well. With a cry of "YABBA DABBA DOO!" he dropkicks George in the face. The latter is thrown back to the other side of the park, taking considerable damage, but definitely still fighting. Meanwhile, Johnathan McChambers excuses himself, explaining that he has to use the bathroom. About five seconds later, a mysterious masked man named El Kabong arrives, weilding a huge, rocket guitar. (Sable-Xeno) Obviously, he is Johnathan McChamber's alter ego. He proceeds to play an awesome guitar riff, which blows up George's laser pistol. He is mildly annoyed. Meanwhile, the Scizor OC, leaves autoplay on too long and begins watching a video of Cthulhu fighting a Space Kraken, taken with what appears to be a shaky camcorder. (Sable-Xeno) Cthulhu appears to be winning, especially because he is being assisted by some other scrubs. Unfortunately, the Scizor OC also used a projector to display this video up on a billboard or something so the CYOA Participants could see it. Unfortunately, this provides a distracted for Helena, Jane Jetson, and everyone else. This counts as an interference, and Future Duel rules dictate that interfering in a Future Duel counts as a declaration of war. Therefore, the Scizor OC is sucked into what is now a three-way Future Duel. Great. Finally, Jane Jetson finishes building her robot, and sends it back onto the batlefield. What will you do now?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You try to make yourself characters from other pieces of media, but fail, because this would effectively make your character immortal. Instead, your name is Alex Batterstump, and absolutely beautiful name. Your broom is actually a bat in disquise, though you keep it as a broom to make people underestimate you. (Asphoxia) This bat also has a special power: it distracts your opponents by repeating billions of useless facts about tea. Though you would not learn this, tales of your exploits would eventually result in the founding of the Tea Team. (OshaliteX2) Also, you are pretty dang skilled at the ukelele. You exclaim, "this band 'a merry men ain't big 'nuf fer you and alla Robin's minstrels". (Treble Tech) I'm not entirely sure what this means, but I'm going to assume it means that you kill one of the minstrels while epic music plays. So yeah, that happened. There was much rejoicing. Anyway, King Arthur and his knights depart for the French castle, and you follow them. After a fairly short and pointless quest, you arrive outside the castle walls. King Arthur orders the knights to prepare, because they are going to attempt a discussion with the French in an hour. He also remarks that this sort of business is "quite irritating." During this waiting period, you see two mysterious figures approaching your camp. One is a a young man wearing a mottled green cloak, with a logbow, and the other is a young man in knight's armor with a sword and a shield with a bronze oak leaf painted on it. You begin talking to them, and they turn out to be Will, a King's Ranger, and Horace, the Oak Leaf Knight, who appear to be journeying home after their encounter with Sir Galleth Keeby. (Sable-Xeno) You tell them about your plight, and they agree to assist you in recovering the Holy Grail, but explain that they will not travel forward in time, as they are needed here. You still have a little time before the meeting with the French. What will you do now?

The Scizor OC panicks, not having wanted to draw attention to themselves just yet. This is, of course, a problem, because this world is mostly a human-inhabited one without pokemon. The future with Bug Pokemon ruling the world as owners of humans is a few lanes to the left. The Scizor phones someone in on his communicator. Silver: "Agent Black!"Blue: "...Are we really going with the color names, Sebastian?"Silver: "We've been over this! It's Agent Silver!"Blue: "And WE'VE been over THAT. Your codename makes you sound like...how did Iri put it...a sh*** Sonic reference."Silver: "Just...send me someone. And make it super-spicy snappy!"Blue: "Geez, calm down. Keep in mind, I'm new to this station...".Silver: "....For this future duel, I shall emply MY invention...the Teleporter! Go get 'em, boys!" Agent Silver presses a button on his little box, summoning two others behind him: a shiny-ish Luxray, and a staff-wielding Ledian! Red: "I...I...I don't know if I can do this, Alan!"Yellow: "Just calm down, Murray. I know it's your first time on the field, but you're prepared for this moment!Red: A-alright. I think I have myself under control now...Let's do this!Agent Red goes after Jane Jetson's robot with his staff of +4 pointyness aimed forward, whilst Agent Yellow gives him cover, flinging up a reflect to deflect any oncoming bullets George Jetson might shoot. Agent Silver, meanwhile, goes after Helena, firing searing lasers from his pincers! Helena likely retaliates by sending out another Pokemon: Smol Nozomi! TODOKETE
Meanwhile, in the olden times...two figures stalk our knights questing. They make careful sure not to make their presence known. One of them, a crow perched atop a faraway tree. The second, a snake slithering across the ground... Alex, unaware of this, decides to prepare the best they can: asking about the air speed of an Unladen Swallow.

Batterstump: ... do we have a time machine yet? The time machine has fallen into the hands of the French, so it's in the castle. Silver the Hedgehog the Scizor uses a box to summon more people. He almost gets carried away my a mob of angry people for breaking Future Duel rules until he points out that he used his to summon them so its technically not illegal. The angry mob agrees that his logic is sound and returns to the sidelines, but keeps a careful eye on him. (Silver) Silver thinks he's safe but then George Jetson shoots his box thing with a laser beam and it flies into the air and explodes. Seeing this, Agent Yellow sets up a reflect barrier to stop George "Trigger Fingers" Jetson from killing everyone. (Yellow) George is kinda dumb, so he shoots the reflect barrier anyway, which bounces the laser back into his hand. He drops the laser pistol and it flies off the city and down to the Earth below. George reaches into his sock and pulls out another laser pistol. Meanwhile, Agent Red attacks Jane Jetson's robot with a spear, and cuts its arm off! (Red) This makes Jane MAD. Silver decides to attack Helena, but she sends out Smol Nozomi to replace Fred Flintstone. (Sable-Xeno) Nozomi blocks Silver's laser blasts with magical powers. Silver is about to punch her in the face when the mysterious El Kabong whacks him over the head with his guitar, knocking him away. Finally, Helena puts on a welding mask and fires a large stream of flame out of the Holy Grail, which REKTs Silver and Red due to them being bugs. Yellow avoids it with his reflect barrier, sending all the fire directly to George Jetson, whose hair catches on fire causing him to comically run around the park. Seeing this fills Jane with so much MAD that she sends the robot to the middle of the arena, and begins to press a clearly marked "self-destruct" button. What will you do now? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Alex realizes that two mysterious animal-like figures are following him around! Then he forgets five seconds later. What a goofball! He also wonders if he has a time machine but I ADRESSED THIS AT THE TOP GO AWAY. (OshaliteX2) Alex then decides to prepare by asking the knights what the air speed capacity of an unladen swallow is. (Sable-Xeno) King Arthur puts on sunglasses and replies, "African or Europea variety?" The rest of the knights shout, "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!" and then a bunch of greenscreen effects are added to compliment the savage burn. Robin's minstrels proceed to play the "Knights of the Round Table" song using only airhorns. Will and Horace sit on the sidelines, eating food and watching the event with a mix of confusion and annoyance. Afterwards, King Arthur announces that they are leaving right now. The knights head for the castle, followed by Alex and the minstrels, as well as Will and Horace. Once the reach the French castle, King Arthur uses hand gestures to tell the group to stay quiet. The minstrels misinterpret the order as a cue to begin a song, and begin a surprise musical number. This ends when Sir Lancelot "accidentally" kills one of the minstrels. But it's too late, as a French knight appears from the top of the castle. Seeing the group, he shouts, "A-ha! The English cowards have returned to our fort once again! And the famed King Arthur is leading them! Tell me, how do you and your band of mindless mutts intend to waste our time now?" King Arthur appears to be thinking over the best response. What will you do now?
