Post #28 [Zero X. Diamond]

[All right. Now we're on to the first post of one "Zero X. Diamond". Oh boy, where to start...

Zero X. Diamond [or ZXD as I generally call him for short] is a good friend of mine from the last 7-8 years. In fact, FROZEN is what started off our real friendship on the internet. He was around somewhat during my "Tenguian" age, however I only encountered him directly once and we never really posted on the same IFs. However whereas I had my problems, he had his own. And even by his own admission, they were big ones. He had two of the most powerful ACs ever developed on that time, "Zero X. Diamond" and "Rocky Formello", and his most famous/imfamous story of the Tenguian IF era was "Rise of the Technoids", an IF he'd personally want to annotate, if he still had an archived copy of it. >.>

But yeah in general terms, ZXD's two aformentioned ACs were "AC God Mode" incarnate. They got so ridiculously powerful without many legitimate reasons people ran from his ACs in sheer terror. XD I think my sole interaction with him in my Tenguian era was yelling at him for having ACs of WAY too great magnitude even compared to the general strain of "AC God Mode" most IFers (including myself at times) had.

But yeah, I've blabbed your ears off enough about ZXD's general background... for now. :P Now onto the actual post.]

The sudden hardness of the bed awoke Happy Bob with a start. He found himself in a hotel room in Threed. There was a dead body in the corner, and a particularly unfriendly note left on it. Not surprising, as many of his nights ended that way.

[Um.... O.o]

He scratched his head and sat up in the broken, uncomfortable bed. Something felt wrong. Maybe it was the way his pillow still had the back of his head printed into it. Or maybe it was the way the General Lee was simply hanging in the air on the TV screen. He figured a shower might help clear things up a bit.

[Yeah, ZXD is generally one of both a combined serious and humorous nature. He was in my opinion far better at mixing the two mediums than I'll probably ever will. Even now he comes up with some random, freaky concepts of original ideas to show off. His website is http://www.zxdware.net/, but more on that later...]

So Bob promptly undressed and headed for the shower. He slowly opened the door and stepped in. The handle refused to turn on the faucet. He struggled with it for quite some time before finally getting it to twist. But no water came out.

[Yeah, we basically ditched the "inanimate objects aren't frozen in time" angle by now]

Now he was sure something was wrong. He put his clothes back on, pulled his knife out of the wall and got up. He pushed the door open and sent the police tape to either side.

[Wait, why the hell WAS Bob sleeping around in the same location as a crime scene? o.O]

"Something's really wrong here, and for once it's not my fault. I'm going to get to the bottom of this."

[This is an famous Happy Bob quote. Remember it forever. :P]

He walked outside, pushing a few more adjacent corpses aside.

[Damn, just how many people did Bob kill the previous night?! :o]

"Man, must've gotten wasted again. Should try not to do that as much any... more?"

He looked at several people and animals standing still. Some of them were stuck doing the oddest things. One man was stuck pulling money from the ATM. Happy Bob rushed over and took the money, then continued wondering what was wrong.

[Looks like Bob's replacing Jake's 'thief' motif, since Cracked Bat appearantly never posts in Frozen aside from his original first post. :(]

When he could think no longer, which didn't take very long, he decided he'd just go walking in search of SOMEONE who could tell him what in the world was going on...

[But when you're Bob, things are never just what you want them to be. :P]
