OOC: Welcome to the game, folks.
The IDS Headquarters; Assembly Room
Sir Walten Cronenburg cleared his throat as the last of the IDS filed into the capacious assembly room, which had white walls with white tile flooring. It was very bright. It was also the dawn of a new year for the IDS, and that meant that an assembly was in order, to remind everyone of their duties as Messengers and to give out routes for that day.
Cronenburg looked over the nine Messengers present. “Good day,” he began. “As you all are aware, or should be anyway, unless you’re a rookie, in which case there’s no possible way you could be aware...” Cronenburg had an unshakable habit of going off-track with his monologues… “your job is not an easy one. Delivering internet content from the sending computer to the WWID is hardly a breeze. You’ll face perilous dangers, some that threaten your existence,…” Cronenburg could have sworn that he heard a snicker in the background after he uttered the word existence… “some that threaten your dignity, and some that threaten both. These dangers range from garden gnomes seeking vengeance for people spraying water and other… forms of liquids on them, to super powered badasses that only wear trench coats and hoods that cover their faces.” How dull could they get? “Either way, your job remains the same, and it is your duty to rise above these obstacles for the good of mankind.
“Now, to your routes for the day. You all will be split into three groups of three. Mister Bowie, Mister Vegeta, and Mister Nohara, you will start from computer 949-843-666539. You will trek across fertile hills with beautiful green grass and sprouting flowers. It is highly recommended that you take hairspray and motor oil with you.
“Mister Jeff, Mister McGee, and Mister Veers, you will start from computer 7665464-47-223. You will travel along a snow covered path with a myriad of boulders. It is highly recommended that you take bubble gum, lots of it, and printer ink with you.
“Mister Mussolini, Mister Gordo, and Mister Rommel, you will start from computer 86824-843-428. You will journey through an active rainforest, complete with tall trees that stretch as far as the eye can see and winding rivers throughout. It is highly recommended that you take headphones and crayons with you.
“Well, that about covers it, gentlemen. Feel free to socialize amongst yourselves, get to know who you’ll be working with, and embark on your quest when you are prepared.”
OOC: The computer numbers have messages that you can decode using a phone. They don't have anything to do with the story, so it's optional. But it rocks. Because I made it.

OOC: Do you really think it wise to pair Mussolini and Rommel together? *takes a gander at the thread title and shakes his head* Nevermind. Nothing wise can come from this...
And our group's number is why-the-monkey. 
Shin
IDS Headquarters; Assembly Room
The five-year-old Shin eyed the people gathered around, especially the two he was to be "traveling" with and folded his arms over his chest, lips pouted outward. "These guys don't have anything on Action Bastard." Shin stated boldly, looking at Vegeta with much contempt. "You know he beats up veggie-guys like you," Shin leaned forward and picked out a wedgie from his bum and stared at Bowie, his dark eyes widening in horror. "This guy looks like Principal Ench!" The kindergartener found himself staring and hopped back in line before looking to the old guy who gave them their mission perameters.
"So we need hairspray and motor oil? Is this gonna be like when Shiro peed on my mom's bed and we she had to light the sheets on fire?" Shin's eyes brightened. "We're starting a fire?!"

"So we need hairspray and motor oil?" the five-year old known as Shin inquired. "Is this gonna be like when Shiro peed on my mom's bed and we she had to light the sheets on fire?" The boy's eyes brightened. "We're starting a fire?!"
"If you want to, yes," Cronenburg responded stiffly. He farted, and his assistant, Maria, fainted behind him, but he continued on as if nothing had happened. "But considering you'll be traveling atop grassy hills, I wouldn't recommend it unless you've got the proper gear."

IC: Vegeta...Last Name...
Location: IDS Headquarters
Bah! None of these silly non-saiyans could match his super non-silly saiyan powers. He was a prince. A saiyan. A saiyan prince with princly saiyan powers crafted from former saiyans that were saiyan princes before the saiyans became saiyan kings and married another saiyan and had saiyan love and had saiyan kids and those saiyan kids became saiyan princes who did saiyan games because they were saiyans and that's how they rolled.
But Vegeta was different. He was a saiyan. A saiyan prince, for that matter. He hadn't quite become a saiyan king because he was still a saiyan prince, even though the former saiyan king, who was once a saiyan prince but now a saiyan king because one cannot be a saiyan prince forever unless you die before you are a saiyan king in which case your not a saiyan prince anyways but a dead saiyan who is not a saiyan prince or a saiyan king, was dead, he was still a saiyan prince because the saiyan who was the father of the particular saiyan named Vegeta named his next in line to become a saiyan king as James Madison, who wasn't a saiyan but was now a saiyan king even though he wasn't a saiyan so he wouldn't be a saiyan king at all instead he would just be a normal king.
So the saiyan named Vegeta walked up when someone who wasn't a saiyan, and all the other non-saiyans, in fact, there wasn't even another saiyan, perhaps no saiyans for 3845738473927829492387 miles or something.
So the saiyan waited for the non-saiyan to finish his non-saiyan speech that was strictly non-saiyan in it's saiyan-esque-ness. When the non-saiyan words arranged into non-saiyan lines full of non-saiyan verbs and non-saiyan nouns and non-saiyan prepositions and non-saiyan adverbs and non-saiyan adjectives and all the non-saiyan stuff like that, the non-saiyan who was saying all this non-saiyan stuff was done with his non-saiyan speech and a non-saiyan silence descented on the non-saiyans, except Vegeta was really a saiyan so he was partying hard with a bunch of invisible saiyans.
As they finished the non-saiyan silence Vegeta was paired up with a non-saiyan and another saiyan who actually wasn't a saiyan because he was a non-saiyan and why Vegeta named the non-saiyan a saiyan was a saiyan mystery for all saiyan time. The non-saiyan then said, "You know he beats up [saiyan] veggie-guys like you [saiyans]," he non-saiyanly said in a non-saiyan fashion. Then the non-saiyan kid who was clearly non-saiyan asked a non-saiyan question about trivial non-saiyan things such as hairspray and the non-saiyan substance known to non-saiyans as motor oil, to which another non-saiyan replied like a non-saiyan would. Vegeta laughed like a saiyan would laugh. He didn't know why. It was because he was a saiyan, but his saiyan instincts didn't tell him that saiyan bit of saiyan knowledge.
"What a bunch of non-saiyans!" said Vegeta who was a saiyan because he couldn't not be a saiyan because he was a saiyan prince and it wouldn't make sense for a saiyan prince to not be a saiyan.
...
Saiyan.

IC: Benito Mussolini
The election had gone exceedingly well, and Benito reveled in his new position as a IDS worker. He would rise to power beyond this stepping stone and become Giornalista of all of Italy. Then he would make ties to the Fuhrer and the Emperor and...that dude in Russia. For a bit. He didn't really like that dude in Russia. Too...Russian or something.
Benito walked into the headquarters followed by a screaming parade of confetti and happiness, riding in a motorcade. He stopped in front listening to a speech, then they all clapped and more confetti rained about.
He was partnered with Rommel...he had heard good things about Rommel when he talked to Hitler on AIM.
Sadly, Gabriele D'Annunzio wasn't here, but he got tired of the feminine sounding name anyway after a while. Gabriele? I mean who names their kids that?
Mussolini, however, waited for the others to move first. He was in a comfy motorcade. And gas prices costed quite a bit.

David Bowie
Team Monkey, eh? thought David Bowie. The small child began to stare at him awkwardly. David Bowie contemplated spooking him for a laugh, but though against it. That wouldn't be the proper thing to do.
Then the child began talking of fires. David Bowie had only one thing to say to him, "I've got the hairspray if you've got the oil."
It would appear odd that David Bowie would be a simple internet courier, but the reasoning behind it was simple. His next few albums were merely waiting to be released, so in the meantime, David Bowie did simple and interesting jobs to amuse himself. Being the Sovereign of the Guild of Calamitous Intent was a busy job, but this was his vacation.
"Bloody odd vacation," he mumbled to himself.

Erwin Rommel
IDS Headquarters
I have to work with the Italians? And an arrogant one at that? groaned Erwin as he watched Mussolini enter beneath fanfare and confettie in a motorcade. Give me Germans over Italians any day! Carefully the German Feldmarschall plucked bits of confetti from his uniform with distaste and listened to Sir Cronenburg give out the assignments.
Crayons? he thought. Headphones? He began to wonder how sane the Fuhrer was when he reassigned him to this job. Slowly he stood up, tugged at the bottom of his jacket and walked over to the two people he unfortunately had to work with.
"Herr Mussolini," he greeted with a slight bow. "Herr Gordo," he nodded.

Maximilian Veers
IDS Headquarters
"Snow and boulders, you say? Ha, nothing that which my Walkers cant easily handle!" Veers boasted confidently. "But why bubble gum and printer ink?" He was confused with that part. Surely they werent expected to defeat any rebels or terrorists with those? Then again, he was employed to a strange company from what he gathered from this Sir Cronenburg and the others around him.
One man he could easily identify as a fellow soldier if not for another military. The rest... he didn't know who or what they were. The man with the black spikey hair looked like he belonged to some punk group on Coruscant.

IC: Benito Mussolini
Location: IDS Headquarters
As Benito waved slightly to the crowd about him, he recognized Rommel as the man approached. He was a good Fieldmarshall from what he had heard, and it would be quite pleasant to have him on the team for now.
Or at least, insofar as the man was useful to Mussolini. He wouldn't have any extra connections lingering around for long.
"Herr Mussolini," Rommel greeted with a slight bow.
"Ah, my good Feldmarschall! I have heard many good things about you from the Fuhrer, it seems. How goes your invasion of Africa? Quite well, I'd assume? Indeed, indeed. Marching onto that Cairo, tiring it would be, I would guess. Yes, hmm. I'm busy dealing with that damned Operation Husky and all of the allies's machinations thereof. Can't seem to leave an Italian in peace, it would be natural to guess. Well, enough of that. I wish not to weary you with politics at the moment. At least, not with this crowd around, that is." Mussolini smiled and waved to the crowd who had noticed nothing, instead concentrating on more of the...frothing at the mouth and other such interesting activities. These people were only all too easy to conquer. Promise them a train system, they give you the entire country.

OOC: Before I go any further as is, Mith, I'd like to know if you want to limit our characters to certain eras or years, so as to leave some facts and personalities invisible therefore, or at least for the sake of a more accurate narrative, instead of all of this jumbled insanity. Not saying jumbled insanity is wrong, though. That's why you joined, is it not?

It was time....to go to the battlefield that was the Internets!
Jeff leaped and on top of the table, and...started to do pelvic thrusts.
Please note he wears only underwear,
"Ha! This job is no match for UNDERPANTS MAN!"
The background was suddenly lit up by that spiraly striped light...like ya know...when a superguy comes...like Superman or something.
Jeff suddenly tries to fly....but he falls....like a lead brick, and is about to fall on Veers.

No point in seperating my characters while they're in the same room...
Well... Husky happened after Afrika was lost to the Germans. So we can set it during or after that timeframe.
Erwin Rommel & Maximilian Veers
IDS Headquarters
"I do not suppose we could leave now?" he said to Mussolini as he averted his gaze from Jeff commiting some lewd acts of insanity. "Before I shoot someone." He heard the almost-naked man leap off the table and a chair get kicked out of the way as someone leapt to their feet to avoid getting squashed. Erwin returned his gaze back toward the spectacle and saw Jeff sprawled on the floor and Veers's roughly pushing the man over onto his side with a booted foot.
"Idiot. Have you no brains?" Veers scolded the underwear wearing man and then added. "Or dignity for that matter?"
"I think I am going to have a headache," groaned Erwin.

OOC: Well, as a matter of interest in this discussion, insofar I haven't set any sort of time point for Mussolini, instead just letting him be his character in whole, instead of having a perhaps more logical cut-off date, and, considering the tone of the RPG, that would be my personal preference. I just want to make sure that's okay with you and, in case not, what would be.
IC: Benito Mussolini
Location: IDS Headquarters
The Feldmarschell took no time in replying, almost annoyed, yea, perhaps already, with his surroundings. "I do not suppose we could leave now?" said Rommel, side-stepping when a strange man clad only in underwear crashed to the earth.
"Odd. Does that usually happen?" Mussolini muttered to no one in particular about the falling underwear-clad personage.
Regardless, the German added, "Before I shoot someone."
Yes, Benito had heard that the Germans were quite used to solving their problems with guns. It didn't quite catch Mussolini's fancy, though. He instead preferred to work through politics and deceive the ever-unintelligent Italians. The only problem was that everyone was a mobster. You couldn't walk into a barber shop without having your throat cut if you were of a rival family. Hell, grocery stores were battlezones. You'd just be picking up a nice package of gold fish and suddenly some guy in a suit pulling out a gun on you. He didn't need a reason. Maybe he just doesn't like gold fish or something. He'll kill you for that.
But that just added to the wonder of the political game. And Benito was playing it even now.
"Well," replied the Italian, "If you ARE going to kill someone, kill that guy in the crowd with the shirt that says, 'I AM A SPY FOR ENGLAND'. We have reasons to believe he works with the allies. Or that guy over there. His haircut bothers me."

OOC: I honestly think that sword_of_raditz actually used the word "Saiyan" more than they did in the entire series. You've killed that word for me now raditz...
And I think Team 2's number is smoking-is-bad. I can't figure out the third... something with a hat. 
Shin
IDS Headquarters; Assembly Room
The five-year-old jumped up at the comment made by Vegeta and began yelling. "Oh yeah? Well I've got a "saiyan" for ya!" The child bent over and pulled down his pants and started shaking his bare rump from left to right, screaming the words in a sing-song voice over and over. However the boy managed to achieve such an uncomfortable position was beyond all comprehension. "Ass Dance! Ass Dance!" Left to right; right to left. It just... wouldn't... stop!

IC: Vegeta the Saiyan (seriously, does he have a last name? <_<)
Location: IDS Headquarters
As the mega prince of saiyans, as he was a saiyan, his amazing wonderful awesomeness was too much for the pathetic worthless unworthy non-saiyan losers that called themselves earth beings. Even though he married Bulma in the storyline.
Vegeta inscribed something on a piece of paper.
--Things to Do--
1. Attempt to watch a Daily Show interview without dying.
2. Stop debating with people whether pre-suit Vader could destroy the Fantastic Four as they appeared in issue 26.
3. Invent a language that sounds like a cross between German and static.
4. Take over the world and all that stuff.
5. Take over the world and all that stuff.
6. See below.
7. See above.
8. Saiyans and non-saiyans are equal in their saiyan-esque unsaiyanness or saiyanness, give or take a saiyan.
9. Write the Declaration of Independance.
10. KILL AKIRA TORIYAMA AND REDUB THE SERIES, MAKING GOKU VOICED BY BEAVIS.
As he looked up, the child was doing an absolutely...mesmerizing dance. Not that he was a pedophile or anything. He was a saiyan. Saiyans and pedophiles don't mix, unless your a saiyan pedophile in which case your more of a pedophile than a saiyan even though your really a saiyan pedophile but more pedophile than saiyan, although your still a saiyan pedophile that's more pedophile and less saiyan that's still a saiyan pedophile just with more pedophile and less saiyan.
"This is a saiyan outrage!" Screamed Vegeta.
Nappa, who has an uncanny ability to appear out of nowhere, jumped in.
"Vegeta! What does the scouter say about his rhythm level?"
"IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!" Screamed Vegeta, crushing his scouter, which immediately appeared back on his eye.
"NINE THOUSAND?!" Shouted Nappa, before disappearing again.
Vegeta started screaming and charging up ki, which resulted in a chair being lifted in the air. Vegeta's ki charge resulted in the chair pummeling a random citizen over and over again. Vegeta stopped charging up ki, but the chair still attacked the citizen over and over again.
"What's the deal with that?" Asked Nappa, who had just appeared, before disappearing again.
"I have no idea." replied a puzzled Vegeta.
