One thing I've noticed in my usage of this message board is that there are a broad range of emoticons/smilies to choose from. And I mean a LOT. Like, so many that there probably isn't ever going to be a way in anyone's lifetime to use them all. So I thought that maybe in order to use them all, we could play a little forum game that involves their usage.
Here's what I was thinking as far as the rules go:
1) Start your post off with three smilies. Can be any three you want.
2) Write up a little story involving the three smilies you chose. The smilies themselves are the characters. Use as few words as needed.
3) The next person to post continues the story of the previous poster, picking three new smilies to tell it.
Hopefully these are clear enough rules, but just to make sure, I'll start first!
There was once a merian smiley, who was swimming along as happy as can be. But then, out of nowhere, tentacles sprang forth, and then...
Next poster, hopefully you know what to do.

He died.
And liched.
Edit: forgot a third.
And Celenwilde was pissed.
So they called their best bards...
...to shoot fireworks in the air...
...to announce a meeting which everyone attended.
Some at the meeting were pretty mellow.
Some at the meeting were just plain confused.
But one smiley was very content because ....
He recently ate cookies.
Little did he know these cookies were mind-altering Tainted cookies...
And he promptly exploded.
When he woke up, he found out that he was really descended from a 
Yes, that's right! A tae'dae superninja vampire!
Yes, that's right! A tae'dae superninja vampire!
When he realized this, the tae'dae wondered who the wondrous cookie chef was... 
But he was still at the meeting. When the kephera at the meeting saw the tae'dae Ninjakari vampire in their midst, they attacked.
There was an epic battle...

Wielding the arts taught to him by Master Shaddus, the blood-sucking Tae'Dae quickly dispatched the Kephera mobs
and soon found himself pitted against Celenwilde's more formidable warriors-
most fierce was Gregori and his band of Demigods!
The tae'dae did much smashing, and victory was almost assured, until...
One of the demigods farted.Then the tae'dae made a quick exit.
He ran down Alabaster road, running into a

Erm...not quite what I had in mind, Greleag. I was hoping each smiley-filled post would be a continuation of the previous story. But that's amusing, nonetheless.
Armed with the orc's fishing pole, the tae'dae dueled the bees. 
When the dust settled, though...
He came face to face with a mysterious figure, who looked like a typical Nihilist.
