#A Corporate Matter Episode: This Episode Is A Brawesome Party Of Life And Death.

KogMaw "Well, hello there Corporate Gnar. Have you seen Soraka lately?"

Gnar "She isn't here today. She used up one of her vacation days and left. Man, I can't believe we have to give them five of those. She also somehow convinced Sona to go with her."

Warwick "So if I heard that correctly, all the girls have left."

Gnar "Well, yeah, but I don't see what that ha-"

Warwick "TIME FOR A BRO PARTY!!!!"

Gnar "NO NO NO! We don't do parties here."

Warwick "Then this one better be the best party of all time."

Gnar "I literally just said, no parties."

Warwick "You know, a hip party would really impress your boss. Might get you a raise. At the very least it would bring in some more business."

Gnar "I don't know, I do really hate all that noise."

Warwick "How about we charge an entry fee, and half goes straight to you?"

Gnar "Seventy-five percent, and there has to be bacon bit stuffed nachos at it."

Warwick "Yes! Now, we need someone extremely skilled at throwing the best parties. We can't have a lame one."

Olaf "Did someone call for a Brofessional? Bro, I heard through the bro-vine that someone wanted to throw the bro-est party ever and needed help. Well, here I am, bro."

Meanwhile:

Sona "???"

Soraka "Alright, fine, I'll tell you why we are headed to the shadow isles. Karthus is my mortal enemy, he and I are exact opposites. He is all about death, while I am way more into life. Even our ults are just life and death versions of the same thing."

Sona "..."

Soraka "My ult does too save lives! It's not just used for getting free assists. Anyways, Karthus said he has the Elder Banana. The only original banana left. Before that disease killed them all and we got this new kind. The things I could learn from it. Karthus has most certainly set a trap for us, so that's why I need you. The risk is worth the chance that he is telling the truth."

Sona "..."

Soraka "Of course I have your Smith Royal Oboe, for helping me. I can't believe you don't trust me, I'm not Drake."

Karthus "You got that right, you are waaaayyyyy more like Josh. I'm glad you could make it, unfortunately for you. THIS WAS ALL A TRAP, MUAHAUHAUAHUAHAUHAU!!!!!"

Soraka "I KNEW IT!!! What have you got for us? Flesh eating virus? You get the whole shadow isles crew to come after me in some epic battle that is hard to display through just dialogue? Gasp, did you get the Narrator himself to join your side?"

What? No! I don't take sides unless one of them is a #toaster.

Karthus "You see, the air here is made of pure Jerktonium gas. Now that you have breathed it, you will always be cranky. And will never be able to smile or say something nice ever again."

Note, may wear off after six months or less. We are not responsible if you suddenly start smiling again. Side effects may include: Spongebob singing another darn sing, severe bleeding from the eyes, feeding, raging, painful death, getting punched in the face. Ask your local Kennen or Shen about Jerktonium today! And have a meaner existence in life.

Soraka "Ha! That stuff doesn't work on me. I have too much potassium in my body, makes me immune."

Karthus "NOW YOU SHALL LOSE ALL- Wait, really? Awww, that sucks. But, what about your friend? She doesn't look like she eats many bananas. HOW ARE YOU GONNA BE WHEN YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NICE SOOOOOOOOONA!!"

Sona "Shrugs."

Karthus "Alright, I am a man of my word. I will give you what you came here for. But I need a form of payment from you, not money, something else. Something you are specially equipped to give."

Soraka "No! I am not a Necrophiliac you crazed Lich."

Karthus "What? Oh no, no, nothing like that. I want a rotten banana. You see, bananas don't grow here, so they never get old enough to rot."

Soraka "Ah, ok. Forget I said anything. I think I might have one here in my little tiny bag. Let's see, clothes, books, sword, tent."

Mordekaiser "Hey there Karth. Wow, she sure has a lot of stuff in that small purse of hers. You think maybe it has an extension charm on it?"

Karthus "No idea, I can't detect one. You know, I bet she got it from that one doctor."

Mordekaiser "Who?"

Karthus "Exactly."

Soraka "Found it, I promised him I would make him into some bread. Then I got busy and forgot, I felt so guilty I hadn't had the heart to throw him out yet. Glad to see he is going to get some use."

Karthus "Thank you, and as I said, you can have the Elder Banana. If you can find it. Here's the map that supposedly leads to it."

Soraka "You don't actually have it? Curse you. Wait, this map is just a bunch of gibberish."

Karthus "Yeah, I couldn't figure it out, good luck! But, if you would rather have something else. I have this map to the Golden Wukong. If you find him, he has taunt and turns all your skins into legendary ones."

Soraka "I think I'll just stick with this map, thanks and goodbye."

Karthus "Have a dreadful day, and I hope you die! Now, time to go. Wait! A team just barely won a teamfight with no deaths somewhere. I AM THE LIGHTBRINGER!!!!!!!!!!!"

PENTAKILL!

Soraka "Well Sona, let's get back home. I hope the guys aren't too bored without us."

Meanwhile:

DrMundo "Me think this best party ever, so wild. WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO, CORPORATE MUNDO CRAZIEST ANIMAL OF PARTY!!!!!"

Gnar "That you are. You know, this whole thing was my idea. I had to convince the others to go along with it."

Olaf "YEAH BRO, THIS IS THE BRO-HAPPINEST PARTY THAT ANYONE EVER BRO-UGHT TO THIS BROFFICE BROUILDING! HOW ARE YOU ENJOYING IT, MICHIGAN J, BRO-OG."

KogMaw "It is a fine example of a hooting get together, brother. We should do this more often, brother. You know, I should sing a little, brother. But I am not doing my brother dance, as I normaly do."

Teemo "This stupid party is somehow making more noise than a Jellyfish party."

LeeSin "Corporate Lee Sin here for ze parrrtaaaaayyy!!!! I got my five hundred riot point entry fee."

Warwick "YEAH BRO! Go right on in and have a good time."

Ezreal "Hey, I heard there was a party here?"

Warwick "Sorry, it's for men only, Girls are not welcome today."

Ezreal "Oh, alright, I'm used to it by now. I guess I'll just go back to being blue, da ba dee da ba die."

Why are there always these weird RP walls of text? Keep this to the Offtopic forums; it has absolutely nothing to do with the News post.

King Dellron3 votes

It's something I and others have been doing for well over a year now.

As for it being relevant to the news post, my story is quite literally an interpretation of the guy who runs the free rotation.

If you don't mind me asking, aside from stories, what type of comments would you like to see on the free rotation posts?
