#A Corporate Matter Episode: I see a Blood Moon Rising.

Soraka "Uh oh, looks like another blood moon festival is going on outside."

Gnar "BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES, CALL EVERY SECURITY PERSON WE KNOW, FIND ME SOME NACHOS!!!!!!"

Soraka "Wait, this one looks different. People are gathering around and don't seem afraid. It actually looks kind of fun. Maybe we should check it out?"

Gnar "NO, I DON'T CARE HOW FUN IT LOOKS. THEY MIGHT STILL HOLD A GRUDGE OVER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME. I AM HIDING UNDER MY STATUE AND NOT COMING OUT UNTIL IT'S OVER!"

Soraka "Awwwwwwwwwwwww."

Warwick "Hey Soraka, how about you and me go. It does look like fun. And if it does turn out to still be evil, I can protect you."

Soraka "You would do that? Thanks! Let's go right away then." "Walks out the door with Guard Dog Warwick."

Sona "..."

Gnar "Oh shut up! That isn't a date, he is just replacing me because I am a huge coward. Well, I'll be under here if they come looking for me, keep them away at all costs."

Down at the festival:

Soraka "Wow, this sure is different than all the other blood moon festivals. There are chili cheese fries everywhere."

Warwick "Is that a chili cheese fry monument?"

Soraka "I think it is, how strange."

Tristana "You know what I heard. Blood Moon Zilean was terrorized by chili cheese fries as a kid, all the time. He became a blood moon, so he could finally have his revenge on them."

Soraka "Oh, hey Tristana. I'm pretty sure almost none of that is true. I thought he wasn't allowed in the chili cheese fry store when he was normal Zilean. On account of all his bombs. So when he accidently became a blood moon, he went and got all the fries he wanted."

Zilean "Can I have your attention everyone. Welcome to our blood moon festival!"

"Cheers from the crowd!"

Zilean "Glad you are all having fun. I know that we have been a little short on the killing and soul sucking lately. Without us to instill fear in your hearts, your children are misbehaving. Without the killings, your plays are becoming boring."

Irelia "YEAH, EVER SINCE THAT JHIN GUY GOT CAPTURED, WE HAVE HAD NO GOOD ACTORS!!!"

Zilean "Well, no more! We are going to inspire some new actors. MORE KILLINGS, MORE DEATH, MORE FEAR!!!!"

Warwick "I'm not too sure about this actually."

Zilean "Now, would everyone please join me in giving a hand to Blood Moon Shen. Who has gone from lowly blood moon wannabe actor, to full-fledged demon."

Shen "Thank you, thank you."

Kalista "Unlike someone we know."

Akali "Hey, I'm trying. It's not that easy to get a rework that makes you more evil looking."

Zilean "And welcome our newest member, Blood Moon Yasuo!!"

Yasuo "I look forward to separating your souls with the power of the wind."

Zilean "Now, it has taken me a while to get used to this whole blood moon thing. But I understand more than when I first accidently teleported into the crowning ceremony. It is time, heh, for me to lead the best blood moon force that there ever was!"

Soraka "I don't know why everyone is cheering, they are talking about killing people. Did we accidently join a cult?"

Warwick "Let me check, HEY, CAN I GET SOME COOL-AID?"

Thresh "No cool-aid here, just chili cheese fries."

Warwick "Nope, this isn't a cult, everyone knows you can't have a cult without some cool-aid. At least, I think that's how it works."

Zilean "Speaking of which, I have a new change for us. Since I don't like really killing people who haven't done anything. I propose a new system. I require a gift, to please my demon heart."

JarvanIV "Alright Lux, sorry to have to do this to you. But as our fairest maiden, you will appease them for the longest amount of time."

Lux "You can't be serious, you want to sacrifice me just because I am a woman. Garen, talk him out of this."

Garen "Sorry, but we must all do our civic duty to Demacia. If dying to protect it from demons is yours, then so be it. Man am I glad to be a man."

Lux "I can't believe this. Wait, what if Blood Moon Zilean isn't into me?"

JarvanIV "You're right, I should find a dashing young man to send along as well, just in case."

Garen "You know, I think I might have left the oven on at the castle. I had better go check. DECISIVE STRIKE!!"

Garen, using his alacrity Swifties and Deadman's plate. Runs away at Mach 2, despite his weakness listed as being slow.

Kayle "He needs someone huh? I OFFER MY SISTER AS TRIBUTE!!!!!"

Morgana "That's not how it works, you are supposed to offer yourself instead of me, not the other way around."

Kayle "COME ON, SHE IS EASY TO TAKE. SHE CAN'T FLY ON ACCOUNT OF HER BURNING HER WINGS OFF WHEN SHE BETRAYED ME!!"

Zilean "What? I don't want you to offer someone as tribute. This isn't the hunger games you psychos. I want something far more valuable to prove your worth. BRING ME YOUR BEST CHILI CHEESE FRIES!"

JarvanIV "Awwww man, why couldn't it just be a human sacrifice. Now I have to find someone who can cook, which is much harder than finding a pretty girl."

Zilean "I want all kinds of chili cheese fries. the more unique and tasty your dish is, the less likely we are to kill you. I expect all dishes in by the end of the week. And make sure you don't forget the cheese. One guy thought he could get away with not adding it. We sure taught him not to forget to give cheese to someone who has been to Wisconsin."

Thresh "Shudders." "I still remember what we did to him, makes my lantern look like the Bahamas."

Soraka "I had better get Vi, see if our Banana chili works on a fry. Hehe, that rhymes."

Elise "Alright, some of you may have noticed that there is a moving cocoon over here on the stage. Time to unveil whats inside."

Diana "**I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT AS SOON AS I GET THIS WEB OUT OF MY EYES I AM GOING TO DELETE YOU FASTER THAN GRAVES! **Oh wait, I can see now. Now who is it that, sigh. The blood moons, you guys took me again. I thought we settled this last time."

Zilean "Just because you aren't going to be our eclipse lord, doesn't mean you can't still be a great demon."

Diana "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, I WILL NOT BETRAY THE MOON LIKE THIS!!"

Zilean You aren't going to have a choice, prepare to bath in the red light."

Malzahar "HOLD IT, HOLD IT. STOP RIGHT THERE!!!!!"

Zilean "Art Master Malzahar? But you are the guy who runs all the skins."

Malzahar "Yes, and this can't possibly happen. You see, players picked Diana to have a fire themed skin soon. So we can't possibly have a Blood Moon Diana, as well."

Zilean "Why not just have two skins in a short time, you did it with Order Of The Banana Soraka and Academy Ekko."

Malzahar "You see, those champions can make lots of lcs big plays. Diana requires no skill and isn't impressive at all. So having too many skins for her is bad for Esports."

Diana "You know, I take offense to that. I have a skill shot that requires all kinds of skill."

Zilean "Well, why don't we make Blood Moon Diana and you just not turn it into a skin?"

Diana "Nevermind, I take no skill to get kills and can't possibly have a blood moon me."

Malzahar "Are you kidding, players already want to kill me for not adding a blood moon Diana. Can you imagine the outrage if they see one running around out here? Let me get you a different person to do."

Zilean "Alright, if I have no choice. Let the Diana go!"

Kalista "But, but, but sir. Ughhh, fine. There you go, but next blood moon, I am doing everything I can to get you."

Malzahar "Now let's see, list of champions that need a skin. Blood Moon Zed, hmm. No, too obvious, they would expect it. Lemme see, what are you guys missing in your skin line? Wow, really, no Yordles. You racists are worse than award shows."

Tristana "YORDLE LIVES MATTER."

Malzahar "Ah, this thing way in the back. It's perfect."

Kennen "Yay!"

Zilean "What is it?"

Malzahar "Some sort of Yordle Ninja thing."

Zilean "Is it male or female?"

Malzahar "Hmmmm, not really sure. I would still pay it less though, just in case."

Akali "Oooooooohhhh, its so cute."

Zilean "I guess I can work with this. LET THE TRANSFORMATION BEGIN!!!!"

ZAP!!!!

Kennen "Stares creepily at everything."

Elise "Ok, it's significantly less cute now."

Kennen "Takes off mask." "DEATH TO ALL WHO LIVE!!!!!!!"

Warwick "EVERYONE RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!"

Shen "Jeez, and I thought Cotton Tail Fizz was nightmare fuel."

Zilean "I think I like this thing."

Over in an office:

Gnar "HA! I was right, that will teach them not to listen to me. Now back to hiding."

Os it just me, or did Aatrox disappear from last week's free week? I remember seeing him on like Monday or Tuesday, and I also recall him being disabled due to a bug. I was really hoping to play him last weekend when I saw that he wasn't on the free week anymore. Did he get removed because of the bug? Will he be put in again anytime soon if he was removed?

QuasiStickfigure3/1/2016, 5:15:57 PM1 votes

why do people complain about X champion not being on rotation. theres, like, 200 champs and only 10 on rotation per week. just wait it out homie, youll get your tarics and yoricks eventually
