Writing Challenge: ride your Horse Plinko towards Eeby Deeby
Alright, Writeblr, I have got a challenge for you. Have you noticed the plethora of strange, made up tags that are floating around Tumblr lately? You know, Horse Plinko, Eeby Deeby, Blorko and so on?
Well, what if I challenge you to take all these names and turn them into OCs? If you are writing a story, try to imagine them as characters within that story. Otherwise, let your imagination roam free. Who knows: maybe, this could give you a whole cast of characters for a new project.
By the way, here is the list of names to use.
Horse Plinko
Eeby Deeby
Blorko
Blorbo
Cousin Throckmorton
Beb
Scrunkly
Scrunco
The Zozz
Scrimblo Bimblo
Wakazonga
I will go first, to show you what I mean with this.
A brief guide for wanderers who want to reach Eeby Deeby
So, imagine for a moment that you are ready for a quest. You have everything prepared: your weaponry, your everyday objects, your clothing and such. However, you don’t seem to have any idea about the area you need to reach.
What’s an Eeby Deeby, and why can you only reach it by riding a Horse Plinko? Well, no need to worry. I am here to brief you about what you might encounter in your journey. So, sit back, and let me explain. Things could get real confusing real quickly if you don’t follow me.
Horse Plinko: what’s a Knight without their noble steed by their side? This horse, however, is no ordinary horse, and you can see from the way it gallops around. If you ever have to ride on it, you would feel like you are just constantly bouncing from one place to another, without any safety measure. In fact, it is suggested to either wear your full plated armour or to have a protection spell with you. Sure, you may end up smashing around every tree in the forest, but the fun will make up for it. Of course, make sure you don’t get near fireplaces: for some reason, a Horse Plinko seems attracted to those.
Eeby Deeby: fun fact, Eeby Deeby is both a place and a species of beings! To reach Eeby Deeby, you need to find special portals, the types that can only be accessed by carving runes on it, obviously spelling Eeby Deeby. Once you do so, you will be greeted by an Eeby Deeby, which is specifically there to send you to their namesake homeland. Because nobody goesto Eeby Deeby, you are sent to Eeby Deeby. Of course, what’s in there depends on your wishes and your desires. For some, that could be a beautiful nightmare. For others, a confusing dreamland. So, are you ready to hop on your Horse Plinko and reach the portal to Eeby Deeby? No worries, for you won’t be alone in this.
Blorko: picture this. You just rode on your Horse Plinko on your way to the Eeby Deeby portals, right? As such, you have spent minutes and minutes just there, on a landscape that seems to never end. Then, all of a sudden, you notice someone walking from behind the trees. Don’t worry, it is not a trap. In fact, there they are, walking towards you, and announcing themselves. “It’s me, Blorko!” is something you are destined to hear when you walk there.
Blorbo: in that area, there are some actors which seem to be everywhere. You can’t watch a single play or walk nearby a theatre without seeing one of them. An actor from that company is called Blorbo, and the company’s name is “Blorbos from your shows”, and they enjoy spreading their acting abilities, especially because, usually, a Blorbo is the most charismatic and appreciated actor in any play. Sure, you may be wondering: what happens when more Blorbos act together? Joy, pure joy. Also, don’t confuse them with Blorko, although some say Blorko likes to go to Eeby Deeby with a Blorbo.
Cousin Throckmorton: who’s Cousin Throckmorton, you ask? Well, he’s the definition of “extreme awesomeness” around here. He doesn’t just run to a place, but he has to back-flip while holding a flaming bagpipe and riding one Horse Plinko per limb. Everybody calls him “Cousin Throckmorton”, not because he is related to everyone here, but because everyone wishes they could brag about him being their cousin. Of course, this results in the awkwardly funny experience of trying to figure out who is actually related to him.
Beb: Beb is strange, because you don’t know what to expect from her when you have a conversation. One minute, she’s there discussing about how magnificent is the sky, or how profound the words of a poet are, and then, the next minute, she just stands there, replying “beb” to everything. Also, you don’t seem to see her as often as, say, Blorko and Cousin Throckmorton, so wanderers who randomly encounter someone saying “beb” feel confused.
Scrunkly: a Scrunkly is a typical animal of the area. Aesthetically, it resembles an earless fox, and tends to look at people straight in the eyes. Not as a sign of intimidation, but because they are adorably curious. Everyone here likes to have a Scrunkly as a pet.
Scrunco: someone who enjoys a Scrunkly a little too much is called a Scrunco. They always talk in “pet language”, as if they are just cuddling their Scrunkly. They are not weird or dangerous. Just, don’t feel awkward if they start acting like you’re a really cute pet.
The Zozz: if Beb is someone you rarely see, the Zozz is even rarer. They say they only reached the place at the beginning of this year, replacing an inhabitant named Zozi, of whom they’re apparently the heir. No one is sure about what they do, because they pop up at very random places.
Scrimblo Bimblo: unlike Beb and the Zozz, Scrimblo Bimblo’s obscureness seems a bit intentional. They are apparently a hero from a faraway land that only a handful of people have even heard about, and they would keep mentioning their quests as if they are the greatest hero who has ever graced this realm, and as such their exclusion in any discussion about heroic people should be seen as a disgrace. To be fair, Scrimblo Bimblo seems like a nice, down to earth person, so people are merely annoyed by how much those around them would talk non-stop about them.
Wakazonga: apparently, it is a benevolent monster who uses its name as a powerful attack. Whenever they shout “wakazonga!”, in fact, a surge of energy appears, which can be used for a lot of things, to the point where the area treats Wakazonga as a source of power. Also, it is this monster which can help you activate the portal to Eeby Deeby, so you might want to find it. Don’t worry, you will be fine.
So, are you ready for your trip? I hope you can enjoy it as much as everyone else is.
THE END
Alright, Writeblr, I challenge you to do the same, now. Let’s have some fun together!
