Okay, time for the final days of the LC!
[spoiler]The LC participants head back to the city of Elcedia for the final week of tasks. As everybody walks, Thorn is fairly vocal about only getting one vampire and one vampire-werewolf out of the prior week. “I expected more out of you guys, really. I mean, I’m not mad or even disappointed. I’m just surprised.” Thorn is so wrapped up in his conversation that it takes another participant to notice something eerie about the city and speak up about it: “Where is everybody?”
The group stops and looks around. The streets truly are deserted. One person suddenly steps out from seemingly nowhere and walks up to the group. She is dressed in a rather regal outfit and carries an air of importance about her. Thorn seems to recognize her, although he seems sheepish about addressing her. “…Qu?”
Qu speaks up. “Thorn, I need to ask your group a question. I’ve seen this in a few dream journals, so I need to know. Scipio, what is ‘snip’?”
Scipio’s head drops as he tries to avoid making eye contact. Qu turns to Mew151 and asks the same question, only for his head to drop too. Many of the other LC participants begin fidgeting, which causes Qu to speak again. “I’m disgusted. Thorn, you only had to promise me one thing: you’d run a clean LC. Yet you couldn’t do it. We’re done here. The LC’s been getting crazier and crazier, and I think it’s about time we wiped out all of this nonsense and started anew. Let me just get the first LC host to reset everything.”
As suddenly as she appeared, Qu disappears. Thorn has a look of horror on his face. “No…she’s summoning ian1, the host of the very first LC. Er,no, he goes by eMander now. Either way, we’re…” The ground suddenly starts rumbling slightly. It then rumbles a bit stronger, and then a bit stronger still. The group turns around to a terrifying sight: an absolutely colossal monster with a semblance of eMander’s avatar to it is stomping its way towards Elcedia.

Thorn tries to act strong, although he’s clearly shaking a bit. "Okay, here’s the plan. If you won a leg, stick with me. I hope you guys liked the LD4small tasks, because we’re gonna need LD4big to save this city. LD4all’s known for dragons, and we’re gonna have to be some to take this thing on. If you didn’t win a leg, just don’t get hurt.[/spoiler]
Week 7: The Big Finale
It’s the 50th LC, and special numbers necessitate certain things. For the LC, that means a need for dragons (the LD4all mascot) and a need for a throwback to the very first LC as in our story. If you’re a leg winner, you’re a direct participant in the big finale and on the dragon team, and if not, you’re sure to have fun watching the “festivities” on the spectator team. [i]As in Week 2, you will get full credit for performing tasks for your team and half credit for other tasks.
Also note that you cannot do both of these tasks in one dream. No watching things from afar and then stepping in as a dragon for an instant hundred-or-so points![/i]
Here are the possible LC dragons for those incubating other people for tasks:* obfusc8
- En’enra
- Jer
- Scipio Xaos
- Eilatan
- James_UK2008
- Thorn
Become a colossal dragon: I need my leg winners to show their might the way LD4all does best! Any kind of dragon will do, so don’t fret about being bipedal, quadrupedal, or anything-else-pedal. “Colossal” means exactly that; go big or go home! Oh, and don’t worry about knocking anything down: I can undo it if you do it, but I can’t undo the damage without risking a ban if a servant of the head admin does it! Leg winners: please post a picture of a dragon similar to what you’d like to become for the sake of helping others incubate. 50 points* Do so in a city: 40 points

Despite the story, Qu does not actually have any problems with the LC. Don’t worry; nobody’s in trouble. I just needed an excuse to make eMander a monster, hehe.
