#A Corporate Matter Episode: Remember the Alamorick

Braum "That it, Corporate Braum tired of all these requests for Yorick change. Time to do something about it. Come Sergeant Porpor, we have a gravedigger to find."

summoner 31 "Weeee."

Some time later:

Yorick "Spare change, spare change?"

Braum "Yorick, zair you are! What are you doing hobbling around begging for money?"

Yorick "Nobody is dying anymore, the tank meta has made everyone invincible. So, no more need for a gravedigger. I would cry, but I had to sell my tear to afford pots."

Braum "When was last time you read about the meta?"

Yorick "Why does it matter? Leave me alone to rot in my filth, just like my ghouls."

Braum "No, Corporate Braum is here to help. I am going to make you popular again."

Yorick "Impossible, no one cares about me. How could I be popular?"

Braum "You see mountain off in distance?"

Yorick "Yeah, what about it?"

Braum "It's no normal mountain. All complaints about your bad kit, how you deserve a better one. All requests for new looks and skins. Everything anyone has sent in about you. It's right over there."

Yorick "You mean, all that is from people that care about me?"

Braum "Yes, Corporate Braum's office is bombarded every day with feedback about you. More requests for change than anyone else. Corporate Braum's shield is tough, but all that starting to get to him. So, I shall finally give them what they want."

Yorick "If so many care, why do they ignore me. Pretend I'm not even there, or that they have never seen me before?"

Braum "Because, you have gotten one of greatest honor."

Yorick "I got into a cinematic?"

Braum "No, you have become meme. Meme is greatest thing ever. And your meme requires that everyone pretend they don't care. But they do."

Yorick "This is the best thing anyone has ever told me. But what do we do now?"

Braum "You know what makes people even happier than memes?"

summoner 31 "Death!"

Braum "That's right Sergeant Porpor, the death of a meme. When a meme is born of sadness, it's death can bring great joy around the world. Just look at what happened when Leo won an oscar."

Yorick "You're going to kill me? Sorry pal, I'm already dead."

Braum "Not you, just the meme. We are going to update you. Do you know what the most important things for an update are?"

Yorick "Uhm, a mini-game that no one likes but makes me incredibly overpowered. %Health true damage. Removal of everything players love and hold dear about me. And an incredibly high increase in difficulty?"

Braum "No, those are only the most important things if CertainlyT is in charge."

Warwick "Uh oh."

Braum "In reality, the most important thing are abs, broad shoulders, an overpowered kit that in some strange way resembles your old one. And some awesome splash arts."

Yorick "How are we going to accomplish this all?"

Braum 'I know few guys, follow Corporate Braum."

A little while later:

Braum "Knock knock, I know you are in there."

Leona "Hello and welcome to the Grand BudaGem Hotel. Do you have a reservation with us?"

Braum "Move over pretty girl, I am here to see Taric."

Taric "Ah, Corporate Braum, looking as strapping as always. Your suit must be straining to hold in those huge muscles. To what do I owe this pleasure?"

Braum "I need you to provide a makeover for our friend Yorick here."

Taric "Who?"

Braum "This guy right here, the one eating the plants."

Yorick "What? I have talked to a lot of dead animals. Let me tell you, they do not like being eaten."

Taric "Ah, why would I do such a thing?"

Braum "Just look at him, poor fool. How can you let something like this run around League when there is so much potential."

Taric "You have a point. Alright, I'll do it."

Braum "Good, he needs to be unique. Like nothing else in League. An ugly monster man, but a good ugly, like a boomer or a clicker. Now, if you will excuse Corporate Braum, he has somewhere to be."

Some time later:

LeeSin "ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. I'LL DO IT!"

Braum "You will make brand new fun kit for Yorick?"

LeeSin "Yes yes, just please stop beating me with the fists of fury."

Braum "It always pleasure doing business with you, Corporate Lee Sin."

LeeSin "And I thought Vi hit hard."

Some more time later:

Taric "I present to you, the brand new Yorick!"

Yorick "Hey there."

Braum "What this? Corporate Braum ask for scary monster zombie, not buff green man. He isn't even unique looking. He looks like the love child between you and Sion."

Sion "Well I think he looks great."

Taric "Who needs to be unique when you can mimic perfection. I dare say he is getting close to as handsome as me. Sorry but, I don't do ugly."

Braum "I guess he will have to do. Come Yorick, I have a party happening to celebrate the new you."

Some even more time later:

Skarner "Hey, who's that guy?"

Singed "You some kind of new champion?"

Yorick "Uh, I don't know about this."

Braum "Just do like we talk about."

Yorick "You will remember, YORICK MORI!"

Ashe Elise Swain Twitch Gragas Malphite Nasus "HIP HIP HURRRAAAAYYYYY!!!!" "Raise Yorick on shoulders."

Yorick "This is the happiest I have ever been in my life. Getting reworked is amazing."

Urgot "Sobs in corner."

#The Arcade Season 2: Episode 4: The Baker of War.

Hecarim "Hello everyone and welcome to The Arcade, the show where we try to be funny, and re-use jokes." Ahri "Uh, Hecarim, we have visitors." MissFortune "Yeah, Pantheon is here." Hecarim "Tell him for the last time, he can't be a Baker." "B-but.." Hecarim "Fine, I'll do it myself."

A LITTLE WHILE LATER... "Hello, Hecarim." Hecarim "I told you, you can't be a- OH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT" "Well, my girlfriend Leona decided to become a chef. So I became a Baker." Leona "For the last time Pantheon, I'm not your girlfriend." "SHADDUP" Akali "こんにちは、私の名前はアカリです。私は寿司を作りました。" Hecarim "Uh, what?" Akali "こんにちは、私の名前はアカリです！私は寿司を作りました！" "Yeah, none of us understand her." Olaf "If you want the meat, I GOT THE MEAT!" holds pork chop in the air heroically Pantheon sigh "Look, can we just come in? It's cold out here." Hecarim "Fine, but don't touch anything that looks important. Like a Microphone." Akali "、親切な先生、ありがとうございました。"

1-2 Hours later... Yorick "Hey guys, my rework is out. Can I have an interview?" Hecarim "Sure, we're just gonna eat this cake Pantheon made first." Akali "私たちはあなたをお楽しみください！" "Hey, can I have an interview?" Akali "私はインタビューを好きではないだろう.." Hecarim "Sure."

1 Minute Later.. Hecarim "Alright, for the last segment of today, we will interview Baker Pantheon, and Yorick." "Bring on the questions." Yorick "I'll give you three questions." Hecarim "Alright, Pantheon. What is it like to finally be a Baker?" "Good, kinda boring. But good." Hecarim "Good, Yorick, are you happy with you're rework?" Yorick "Yep, people finally remember Yorick Mori." Hecarim "Alright, last question, Yorick. Why must you destroy the Shadow Isles. I live there." item 3001 "I'm afraid you're wrong." Yorick "What the?!" "Yes, it is I... WALUIGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" take 2 "Yes, it is I..." Veigar "Final Boss Veigar!" Hecarim "B-but, I killed you! In Season 1: Episode 4!" Veigar "Nah, that was just a clone." Hecarim "Oh." Veigar "Anyway, the answer to your question. The Shadow Isles Hecarim... IS A DIFFERENT HECARIM ENTIRELY!" Hecarim "Wait what"

TO BE CONTINUED.. IN A TWO PART FINALE..

For those of you who are wondering what Akali is saying, here you go. 1: "Hello, my name is Akali. I have made Sushi." 2: "Hello, my name is Akali! I have made Sushi!" 3: "Thank you, kind sir." 4: "We hope you enjoy!" 5: "I don't want an interview.."
