Step-by-Step Story : Moby Dick

In this blog, the story will be based on an actual book. The classic novel Moby Dick. All you need to know about it is that is about a stubborn captain chasing after a whale for 1000 pages. This is intended to be funny. No it does not matter if you've never read the book. Like I just said, this is intended to be funny.

We will need a cast of users to play each character. These are the characters needed.

Captain Ahab (Captain of the ship bent on killing Moby Dick)- ItzIngenious

Moby Dick (The whale who Ahab wants to kill)- Fianchetto

Starbuck (Captain Ahab's underling who doesn't want to kill Moby but won't admit it)- FreeStater

Moby Rick (Moby Dick's Dad)- Nickelz

Moby Rickie (Moby Dick's Little Brother)- Capybarra

Moby Icky (Moby Dick's Sister)-Vacant

Moby Kick (Moby Dick's)- Kingsfisher

Dunkin Donought (A spy on board the ship working for Moby Dick)- Neodymium

Dutch Brother (Starbuck's assistant)- TheOrca

Ishmael (Sailor on Ahab's ship. In the book he's the narrator but here he won't be.)- Insaniot

Queequeg (Polynesian harpooner)- JetPunker180

Fishmail (mailman sailor who delivers mail to sea life?)- Dimby

Rules

You must do the story in steps.

Users can post a maximum of one comment in a row.

Every character has equal power. They can kill another character off or reincarnate another character through magic.

Characters cannot reincarnate themselves.

Users are not advised to stick to the storyline of the book, nor read the book. I request that you be as funny as possible.

If a spot is left vacant, it may be taken by me, McKenzieFam.

I do intend to create a blog containing the full story, so, after approximately two weeks, I will declare the event over and compile the summary.

The Starting Point

Captain Ahab and his crew set sail to the sea to search for Moby Dick.

Well, what are you waiting for? What is Step 1?

Credit to Astana for coming up with the idea for this format

Level 73

Jan 25, 2024

Can I be Moby Dick? Is that how this works?

Level 63

Jan 25, 2024

Yep, you got it!

Level 66

Jan 25, 2024

I reckon I will be Starbuck. After all, I'm not big on violence.

Step 1: I wake, famished. For fifteen days now we have subsisted on rotten gruel, and our reserves are slowly running dry. There is no hope for us. Also, we're running out of time to complete the Fortnite Battle Pass, and fear we may not cop the Peter Griffin skin.

Level 59

Jan 25, 2024

Step 2: I secretly slurp some zooplankton while i my quarters (i am a whale in disguise)

Level 77

Jan 25, 2024

Step 3: I deliver mail to sea life. Call me Fishmail. As I travelled on that god forsaken ship, I noticed that my roommate has resorted to slurping zooplankton rather than the gruel. I cannot say that I blame them. I decided to try some, too. I immediately began to feel funny.

Level 50

Jan 25, 2024

I begin disassembling the galley

Level 63

Jan 26, 2024

@Dimby are you joining as a character that I have not offered? Fishmail?

i'll add that lol

Level 73

Jan 26, 2024

Step 4: I'm just chilling out in a nuclear-proof concrete bunker in the bottom of the Marianas trench watching the ship with my spy cameras. I might come up to make this more interesting.

Level 59

Jan 26, 2024

Step 6: (cuz the orca is 4)

Fishmail slumps over. I am a whale addicted to painkillers to I added whale tranquilizers to my zooplankton. He may start become a whale.

Level 60

Jan 27, 2024

Step 7: I discover the body of my dad shoved in a mailbox

Level 63

Jan 27, 2024

I'm filling in as Moby Icky for now.

Step 8: I send a message to any prospecting whale hunters as revenge for Moby Dick not letting me in his nuclear proof bunker, 'there is rumored to be a huge whale hiding on the bottom of the ocean in a nuclearproof bunker'

Level 50

Jan 27, 2024

Step 9: I begin disassembling the mast

Level 59

Jan 27, 2024

Step 10: Call me hero because I throw Dutch Brother off the side of the boat to prevent him from disassembling the entire ship.

Level 73

Jan 27, 2024

Step 11: I invite Dutch Brother down to my lair and build him a model ship he can disassemble. We then scheme of ways to disassemble the actual thing.

Level 77

Jan 27, 2024

Step 12: Fishmail wakes up, and vomits seawater on the galley. He arches his back in writhing pain. It feels like a hot skewer is stabbing through his back into his lungs. Even in this pain, he knows he has a delivery at this spot in the ocean. He rushes to the deck and throws “Acme galleon disassembly instructions” overboard. He slides on sunglasses. “Call me fishmail.”

Level 59

Jan 27, 2024

Step 13: I call him fishmail

Level 54

Jan 28, 2024

Step 14: I look at Fishmail in disbelief and says, "Fishmail, my friend, you've truly taken oceanic mail delivery to a whole new level. But now, it seems we have a dilemma on our hands. Our ship is falling apart, we're running out of gruel, and your zooplankton shenanigans have added a whole new dimension to our maritime misadventures. I suggest we consult the ancient and wise sea turtle philosopher, known for his expertise in ship repairs and deep-sea wisdom.

Level 60

Step 16: I see a white moving object under the sea and jump off the boat in my excitement.

Level 63

Jan 29, 2024

Still filling in as Moby Icky

Step 17 : I hide in an underwater cave full of purple cuttlefish to make sure no wannabe whale hunters get me

Level 50

Jan 29, 2024

Step 18: Moby dick and I leave the cave armed with hammers and muskets to finish disassembling the ship

Level 73

Jan 29, 2024

Step 19: I shoot wrecking balls out of my blowhole at the ship in order to disassemble it. I continue to launch projectiles but I stay out of harpoons' range.

Level 59

Jan 30, 2024

Step 20: I tell the entire crew it would be a great tike to all fall asleep. I give a thumbs up in the general direction kf water

Level 73

Feb 1, 2024

Step 21: Apparently everyone else has fallen asleep and not done anything, so I ram the side of the ship creating a huge hole. Dunkin and I then talk about our families over coffee.

Level 73

Feb 9, 2024

Step 22: Dutch Brother and I finish disassembling the ship, while everyone else is still asleep. Then, as the survivors are floating on pieces of the ship (still asleep somehow), I summon my Moby siblings and we prepare to... perform a special ritual to turn Captain Ahab and the crew into krill. (You know what happens after that)

Level 60

Feb 9, 2024

I let myself get eaten by Moby Dick, but survive in his stomach. From their I devise my plot to defeat him once and for all.

Level 73

Feb 9, 2024

Step 24: After eating the krill including Ahab, I then eat a fire-breathing penguin named Balthazar who also happens to eat krill, in order to finish off Ahab once and for all.

Level 63

Feb 10, 2024

Step 25: (Moby Icky)

My plan backfired but I love krill. Enough to leave my purple cuttlefish cave and share the same seaspace as my brother. But wait! While he's eating, I can go in his nuclear proof bunker! And he'll never know! Ahahahaha

Level 73

Feb 10, 2024

Step 26: My bunker detects an intruder and explodes, slaughtering all within a one mile radius (I'm far enough away). I swim in slow motion with my allies as a mushroom cloud and flames (underwater, yes) appear behind us. We look really cool, until Dutch Brother glances back and kind of ruins the moment.
