The streets of Fandom, Sunday afternoon

[superartie]

Artie seemed fairly certain that he'd managed to pinpoint Teh Emoo's location. But if Fandom were to properly get rid of Teh Emoo, it would require more than just Artie and his personal brand of anti-emo.

It would require that of many members of the Fandom community.

So Artie was recruiting. He'd left voicemails for two likely candidates. Now he was looking for others.

[ooc: those who have signed up for the Army of Silliness may be recruited by someone, find Artie in this post here, or just kind of happen to wander into the post following this one, which will be the battle. Thanks! I'll set up a chatroom: "tehemoogetssilly" for coordination.]

The Doctor was wandering in the direction of Jeff, GOB when he spotted Artie. He waved, all friendly and neighborly like.

[superartie]

Artie waved back, then hurried over to the Doctor.

"Doctor! Are you busy tonight at sundown?"

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Not a plan in sight," the Doctor replied. "Should I be making some?"

[superartie]

"Have you noticed the intense pall of emo that has flooded the island?"

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"The radio last night gave me an impression of that sort, yes," the Doctor said. "Is something other than teenage hormonal imbalances to blame?"

[superartie]

"Quite. There is a demonic beast at fault. It is known as Teh Emoo, and there is only one way to stop its insidious power."

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"One way? Anything I can do to assist?" The Doctor asked.

[superartie]

"Yes! There is! Teh Emoo's one weakness is silliness! I plan to confront it tonight in the park at sundown! I could use all the aid I can get!"

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Silliness?" The Doctor smirked. "I suppose I can help with that."

[superartie]

"Excellent! I hope I will see you there!"

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"I shall be there. Possibly with literal bells on," the Doctor said. He turned round and headed back towards the TARDIS.

He needed to plan his silliness.

Moping around the house baking cookies wasn't doing a whole lot to improve Aziraphale's mood (not to mention Wilson's waistline), so he headed out for a walk instead. Maybe getting out in the fresh air would clear his head.

Being mopey was no reason to be rude, though, and nodded congenially at Artie when he saw the man.

[superartie]

"Greetings! Would you perchance be willing to aid in an endeavor of mine tonight at sundown in the park?"

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale wasn't in the habit of turning down requests for aid.

"Of course, my dear. What, er, exactly will I be helping you with?"

[superartie]

"There is a foul force on the island that has been making people mopey! We must battle it with . . . silliness!"

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Well. Well that explained quite a lot, actually.

"A foul force...quite. Of course I'll be happy to do whatever I can to help. Er...silliness, you say? I...suppose I can be silly. Does it matter what sort of silliness?"

[superartie]

"It does not! So long as it is jovial, ridiculous, or just plain Dada!"

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Er..."

Well, how many times had Crowley told the angel that his magic tricks were ridiculous?

"Quite. I'll certainly be there. I baked biscuits this morning," he added.

[superartie]

"I am glad," Artie said, though he seemed perplexed at this declaration.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale noted the perplexity. It had been a rather strange sort of thing to say.

"Biscuits are usually good for cheering people up. Do you think...you might like some? Or, this 'foul force' might not like some?"

[superartie]

"It is entirely possible! Good thinking, sir!"

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Good. Well then, I will be there promptly at sundown, my dear. To help in whatever way I might."

[superartie]

"Thank you! I will see you there!"

Pippi is on her way to J,GOB when she sees her favorite super hero.

"Hi Artie!"

[superartie]

"Pippi! Good to see you! Might you be willing to aid me in a quest?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Like I'm going to turn down the chance to help the Strongest Man... In The World! in a quest?" Pippi said "What's up?"

[superartie]

"I am gathering an army of sorts with which to defeat a dastardly creature known as Teh Emoo."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Teh Emoo? What sort of dadtardly creature is that?"

[superartie]

"One that emits rays of pure emo! It has affected the island! There's only one way to stop it!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"That's terrible!!! I'm in! How do we stop it?"

[superartie]

"With silliness!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"You mean like... Make it happy?" Pippi asked with something akin to an evil grin on her face.

[superartie]

"Make it laugh!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi clapped her hands excitedly.

"Yay! That's a battle I know I can do!"
