The Seeker is Assigned a New Addventure by the AAAH!

"Oh, don't tell me I've been written into Addventure again," he says, apparently to himself. "It really gets old after a while."

He sighs and, finding nothing better to do, walks through the revolving doors and into the building.

The lobby is full of busy people. The Seeker sees a secretary, an elevator, two office suits, and a seemingly misplaced pear tree in the middle of the room, with a partridge resting on its limbs. He recognizes this as the office building, the one that Scott has been trapped in so many times. "Oh, no."

He walks up to the secretary. She looks at him and smiles. "Oh, you must be The Seeker. We've been expecting you."

"Huh?" The Seeker says, demonstrating his incredible savoir-faire.

The secretary looks over a sheet of paper in her hand. "You're to follow the elevator all the way up to the top floor, walk to the end of he hallway, turn left, and enter the last door on the right. It will be marked AAAH!"

"What? What?" The Seeker says, his eyes darting around.

"What what what?"

"What what what what?"

"What?"

"What did you scream for?"

"What?"

"Never mind. Now, what am I supposed to do?"

The that he should recognize them, but he doesn't

"Hello," says the man the center of the group. "You must be The Seeker. Please, sit down." He motions to a chair in front of the table. The Seeker sits. "We're the Addventure Agency of Auspicious Heroism -- the AAAH!" He motions to each member of the group as he says, "That's Ayumi... That's Dr. Hashimoto... James Bond... Emelia... Paco The Samurai Jelly Bean... Debbie... Miranda... you... the leader of the Feminist Cabal... Bill Gates... Calvin and Hobbes... the cast of Star Trek... Skippy the Giraffe Trainer... Alice... Scott's parents... Bishop Cahail... and I'm Bruce."

"Hi," The Seeker says impatiently. "Why am I here?"

"You see," Ayumi says, "you're an author. Recently there was a coup in Addventure Addministration, and Scott took over, sending each of the authors into his or her own storyline."

"That still doesn't tell me why I'm here," The Seeker says.

"You're here to be reassigned to a storyline," you say. "We, the overused characters of Addventure, have been assembled to select an Addventure storyline suitable to each author."

"And what's mine?" The Seeker asks nervously.

Bruce says, "In the signature line of your Addventure episodes, you've identified yourself as simply 'The Seeker.' What exactly is it that you seek?"

"I dunno," The Seeker says, "I just thought it sounded neat."

"Well," Bruce says, "we've selected a quest for you. Agent 007, please read The Seeker his quest."

James Bond stands and clears his throat. "The Seeker, your Addventure, should you choose to accept it, is to seek..."

1. "...the crown of a minor kingdom in eastern Europe."
