Just before something went terribly wrong with the elixir....

Slowly the dust settled. The explosion of the kettle had turned this portion of Vlad Tepes' castle into a mingled pile of rubble, wood, debris, and lots of dust. Out of the debris came a murmur that sounded faintly like, "I feel intense pain in my cranium."

A faint "Zort" was the answer. Slwoly, some movement came into the wreckage. A head, white, flat shaped and definitely too large for the white mouse that it sat on top of, came out of the rubble, a dazed expression on the face.

An equally dazed longer, more...well, "simple" looking mouse face appeared.

The first mouse crawled out of the debris, whiping the dust off, careful not to lose balance. "Come on Pinky, we need to prepare for tomorrow night!"
"Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tomorrow night?"
"The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!"

***

They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
One is a genius
The other's insane.
They're laboratory mice
Their genes have been spliced
They're dinky
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain.


Before each night is done
Their plan will be unfurled
By the dawning of the sun
They'll take over the world.

They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
Their twilight campaign
Is easy to explain.
To prove their mousey worth
They'll overthrow the Earth
They're dinky
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Narf!




[OOC: Ok, this is going to be the Dracula AAR I've been thinking of. I was set to make this one not too serious, with Vlad living through all this time, and my goal was World Domination. And then I thought, "Who would be best for achieving this goal?" And from there it was a small step to Pinky and Brain. ;) I hope I made the right decision here....]

Wallachia, January 1st, 1419

In the chambers of Vlad Tepes' court alchimist, a lonely candle lights a small room. Brain is brooding over an ancient tome following every line in the book with his finger, murmuring.

Pinky is at the candle, doing shadow plays. "Look Brain, a chicken! Poit!"
"Please, Pinky, I am trying to translate this tome of the undead!" He shakes his head as Pinky replies a cheerful "Narf!" and goes back to translating. "Vampires are supernatural creatures, immortal, feasting on blood. Their strength is supernatural. If someone is bitten by a vampire, this person becomes a vampire, as well, with its will succumbed to the vampire it was bitten by." Brain's facial expression brightens up.
Pinky is - somehow - making the shape of three wild horses as a shadow. He chuckles, then is drawn out of his concentration by Brain.
"Are you pndering what I am pondering, Pinky?"
Pinky thinks for a second, or at least makes the impression that he does, then answers, "Uh, I think so, Brain. But don't you think that the Pope would prefer peppermint?"
Brain is dumbfound at this reply. "I am glad I don't want to control your mind, because I'd spend all my immortaility trying to locate it!"
Brain goes to a small chalk board where he explains his plan for the night to Pinky. "According to the Tome of the Undead, Vampires have to follow the commands of the one who has turned them into undead. Therefore, if we were Vampires, and bit someone, this person would be under our control!"
Pinky looks puzzled. He touches his teeth. "But we are not Vampires." He feels his teeth again. "Are we?"
"No, of course we aren't!" Pinky writes down something on the chalk board which looks like a recipe. "But with this summoning we will become Vampires - without being bitten by another Vampire, so our mind will remain free." He looks at Pinky's blank expression on his face. "Well, mine will, and yours will have to be mapped out first."
"Oh, Brain, that sounds fantastic - oh, oh! Failure!" Pinky's expression goes from happy to sad. "We are too small to bite people!"
"I know, Pinky. The ruler of this country, Vlad Tepes is a mighty warrior. All we have to do after we have become Vampires, is bite him and he will follow our commands. With him we build an army of undead to conquer the world!"
"Oh, boy, that sounds fun! When will this happen?"
"Tonight, Pinky - after the summoning is complete, we will sneak into Vlad's sleeping chamber and bite him while he sleeps. Then we apply an elixir to his diet that will keep him strong, immortal, and mighty, but invulerable to the weaknesses of Vampires - sunlight, blessed water, garlic...you know the cliché."
"Oh, wasn't that the guy that tried to sell Vlad that smelly cheese? I miss him! Poit."
Brain's brow quivers. "Pinky, don't force me to hurt you. We will use the same elixir and then rule the world in as soon as 400 years!"

You realize, of course, that they are doomed to bo 399 years, twelve months and thirty days before Pinky blows it :D

And watch out for Snowball! I hear he's pulling the same stunt in Turkey.

I supose It'd be cheating to make an event to transform Wallachia into Brainania, with CB shields over the entire world

I shudder to think what could happen with the wacky mix-ups. Anyone else remember Mindy and the Brain?

They're Mindy and the Brain,
Yes, Mindy and the Brain,
One's a small child,
The other's the Brain...

ARRGH!

Keep it up, eh?

I'll try to keep it up, but I will likely be limited to updates on weekends - very busy at work and privately, so please bear with me. This is not dead. Yet. More undead like. ;)

Here's an idea along the lines of "Pinky screws it up at the end": make an event called the "Dissolution of Brain's Empire", or something like that, to take place on December 30, 1819. This event sets vassals free in every possible location (all of whom immediately break vassalage), and about 50k rebels pop up in all other provinces :eek: Of course, you have no choice in this event :)
