Multiverse "Jail and Bail" Raises "Over 25,000" Linden Dollars For Parkinsons

 Yesterday. Tuesday November 4, was the final day of the Multiverse Fair, a Halloween-themed major fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which funds Parkinson's research. Among the events was a "Jail and Bail" that took place in the afternoon. Earlier in the day, there was a Linden dunk tank event, but I missed that. 

 

 Is they innocent?  Or is they guilty?  Only you can decide!  Come to the Jail and Bail and give your input regarding the two prisoners!  Jail and Bail is going on NOW and we got a pretty good crowd of AMAZING AVATARS. :

 

Mesmer Macabre and Grimoire Hexem were the volunteers for the event. Both were in cages between two donation boxes, one labeled "Keep them in," one labeled "Let them out."

 

For close to an hour, a crowd made up of characters worthy of a circus carnival, including a steampunk robot, a furry clown with huge claws, an elf, and a ten foot tall man, both cheered on the jailers and the jailed. There was also someone acting as the mascot of the fair, a "Nubbins." "You all have some incredible avatars!" he told everyone, "Seriously. Thanks for showing up today in *style*."

 

At one point, the cell of one was flooded with rodents, "Oh noes! Her cage is filled with rats! Oh the humanity!!" Then there was a flash that left the prisoners unharmed, but not the critters, "Oh no, my rats!"

 

The prisoners pleaded, "If you keep me in jail... I won't be able to create things, now wouldn't that be a shame?" And there were retorts, "The only reason to keep them jailed is public safety.  AND WE ALREADY KNOW THAT IS SHOT TO BLAZES!" 

 

The event went on, the Nubbins goimg, "Okay, I didn't wanna do this ... I didn't wanna resort to this ... BUT IF YOU DON'T SET MY CLIENTS FREE, I'M GONNA STAR TELLING *DAD JOKES* !" "When did you stop telling them?" Mesmer then offered the crowd a gift if 1000L more was donated. It was, and I found a funny bumper attachment in my inventory that when others used, it made a little gesture and noise. 

 

Then Nubbins announced, "We're up to 5000! And I promised a huge explosion, right?  WHO WANTS TO SEE A REALLY REALLY HUGE EXPLOSION?" And then there was a flash, with a ring of light remaining, "Boom baby!"

 

The Linden count went up, "You are a generous group. Donations are up to a total of 16.900 so far! :D " More gifts were given out, strange ones, "We will protect your families with meat abominations." "My clients gonna haz to go to the bathroom soon, and that's somethin' ya don't wanna see!" Then Nubbins announced, "Okay, I just got word from da judge. As of now, these signs is reversed. 'Let Them Out' means keep them in." "Whaaaat?" "And 'Keep Them In' means let them out." "If they were reveresed, wouldn't it be 'Let them in' and 'Keep them out?'" "Hmmmm, dat a good point Morgan. Now go sit in the corner." 

 

There was talk about releasing just one. Then of releasing them,but turning them into something called a "meatcat."  "We up to 10,000 on free them!!." Nubbins went at one point, "We gots thirteen minutes to save dem from, syrup induced punishment!" Mesmer went, "We got just 7 minutes and 3k to get us out of here before the meatcat consumes." One went, "We know Mesmer did it! Guilty as charged! Mesmer's fingerprints were on the..." "What was the crime?!" "Crimey fingerprints."

Time ticked on, "Okay, we have 20 seconds." "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" "Can't we just drop the cages in the ocean someplace?" And then, "We got bailed by fifty! Yay! We are released!" "Time is up!" Nubbins announced, "They are freed." And the cells were opened. Grimoire went, "I knew you were wonderful, reasonable people." Mesmer spoke, "You guys are AMAZING!"  One guy grumbled, "Sabotaged! there goes the sweatshop, caged forced labor plan," then brightened, "Thanks again for the goodies Mesmer."

 

Nubbins announced, "Thank you all for your generous donations! This jail n bail earned over 25,000 L$ for the foundation!" Some people left to look around, others hung around for a bit.

 

Later on, there would be an announcement in the group.

After that night, the Multiverse Fair was officially closed. But fans would look back at the chaotic, sometimes slightly freaky and spooky, fun.
