Your Monkey Island Story
We all have thought at least once: Hey, it'd be cool if Guybrush did ______. So here's your chance to post what adventures you would put Guybrush on and who he'd meet, what he'd have to do, etc. I just thought it'd be cool to hear what people have to say.

to find a voodoo object that would finaly make every pirate know the name of guybrush threepwood
Maybe Goodsoup sold the hotel to the cannibals, who now use the building to live in and as a school for teaching locals how to prepare non-fat based, non-vegetarian recipes (they went back to eating meat once they realised that the vegtibles they were eating were alive due to some Voodoo curse invoked when Madame Xima was forced to up and leave with Goodsoup).
Meanwhile the volcano is now defunct and Kind Louie has filled the remaining crater up with one billion and seven unsold smuggle bunnies (they were unsellable due to being stuffed with unsafe materials such as needles, knifes and torn procalactives).
The cannibals send Guybrush on a mission to rescue the withered remains of the old volcano god from beneath the horde 'o' bunnies, so that they may feast upon his carcass and gain his once almighty power. Why would Guybrush do all this? Why, because in return the cannibals will reward him with the ability of second-sight (via the volcano god's enchanted remains), which is essential if Guybrush is to complete his ultimate mission of finding that piece of eight he just knows he dropped down the couch of eternity.
Oh, tis a marvelous gift to be sure. Tis also the 304th wonder of the world (that's the wonder right after no. 303, the platypus).
Once one embodies this second sight they are prone to visions of truth, an epiphany such as the realisation that not only should men never, ever grow a moustache unless they intend to carry through with an underbeard but that if you shave a cat and leave only a small area of fur resembling a moustache, then you will be looking god directly in the face.
Oh and it allows you to remember that you left your piece of eight in your back trouser pocket all along.
*Gasp*
Guybrush... would become mad with power, and become corrupted, and blast cannons at our computer screens!
Yep, the whole second sight fable formed the last act of MI5 and is in fact the true root of the evil slowly taking over Guybrush in TOMI, didn't you know?
They take him on the ship and bring him to their misterious captain. There is a large rotating chair with it's back towards Guybrush. The voice of the bad guy sounds familiar. Who can it be? It's a talking skull carried around by a gorilla. It seems Murray stroke a deal with governor Phatt.
So we learn that governor Phatt wants to govern every island in the Carribean. To do so, he must make every Governor sign a document for their island incuding Elaine. He must also get every Governational seal. Murray takes Elaine to Phatt island. Guybrush manages to escape the ship and lands on another island.
So, he must find a ship and a crew. While Guybrush is doing what he does best, we cut to a scene. The Voodoo Doctor from LCR is summoning LeChuck from the bottom of the sea. LeChuck gets a merman-sea-urchin-octupus-fish-thingy form and needless to say he's pissed.
Anyway, once he Guybrush gets on Phatt Island, he steals an uniform, walks around and solves some more puzzles.
LeChuck goes to Mellee, finds out Elaine was kidnapped and goes on some berserk rescue mission.
Guybrush frees Elaine, LeChuck comes out of nowhere, turns the bad guy into smoking goo and Murray is stuffed into a big cannon and shot over the sunset.
I too would like to see Blood Island again, and the Goodsoup family, the crypt etc.
Hmmm, as for a thing that I would like to see Guybrush doing...
It really would be cool to see him in the situation where he actually has to team up with Stan and Murray. They'd just get in his way. Murray would try to kill everything and curse everyone, while Stan would try to sell everything and convince everyone of buying! He could ever try to sell Murray to Guybrush!
The only thing that can clean the glue off is a magic potion, but the ultra-rare ingredients are scattered around the world! Oh no! What will Guybrush do?
du-du-duuuuh
Very cool,
But LeChuck is already dead. However it'd be awesome for them to have to work together.
Love your idea SilverWolfPet!
lol, that's a neat concept...
STAN (to Guybrush): "Say, you look like you could use a disembodied, talking skull and I have just the thing. Say hello to Murray, yours for only 5000 pieces of eight *cough* TaxNotIncluded *cough*
GUYBRUSH: "Um, Murray's already in my pocket!"
MURRAY: "And I am for sale to no man, foolish mortal. I will devour your very sou.."
STAN: "Don't listen to him kid, he just doesn't want to be sold at such a crazyyyy, low price. Buy now and I'll throw in a head-attachment candle for free!"
GUYBRUSH: "But he's already in my pocket!!!"
And so on...
I like this idea except I think he should stay good.
Like his body is decayed and stuff but it's actually an advantage for him because he can breathe underwater, jump off a cliff and live, etc.
He just needs to get used to the smell
It's nitpicking but Guybrush can already breath underwater (well, for 10 minutes at least) and he did fall off a cliff in SOMI (and bounced back up via a rubber tree) and in COMI, on Skull Island (if you don't open your umbrella in time)
I think a better example would have been that a cannonball could go right through him, leaving a holea ala 'Death Becomes Her' but I actually feel that death hasn't ever really been a threat to Guybrush (or anyone in the MI series) in much the same way that it isn't a threat to Wile E. Coyote.
Maybe that could explain the bizarre shifting of the Scumm Bar from SOMI to EMI. Heck, it could probably even explain Monkey-Frickin'-Kombat
Yeah! I would make a fangame based on that trio, if I had the right team to do it
I want to make a fan game based purely around Stan trying to sell Murray to Guybrush, even though he's already in Guybrush's pocket... it would be a 50+ hour long epic dialog tree
At the end of the game, after countless hours of Stan's jabbering and Guybrush saying variations of "but he's in my pocket", it would end thusly:
STAN: "I promise you that you won't find a better deal. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Come on, whadda say?"
GUYBRUSH: "Ughhh, BUT. HE'S. ALREADY. IN. MY. POCKET!"
STAN: "You gotta buy thi... He's already in your pocket?! Well, why the heck didn't you say so before kid?!"
GUYBRUSH: "Arrrrggghhhhhhhhh"
THE END
It could be called 'Monkey Island: The Never-Ending Story - Parts 1-70'
Now that is art. Bravo. I want to nominate you for awards for best script.
Oh, that's nothing! You should see what happens in 'Monkey Island: The Never Ending Story - Parts 71-150 (aka. The Madness of King Threepwood)':
That's the part where Guybrush locks himself away, at the top of a foreboding tower. He is curled up in a ball, hands over his face, tears streaming down through the gaps in his fingers. Sobbing, wailing, laughing hysterically and screaming out...
GUYBRUSH: "AHHHHHHAHAHAHA, The skull, the skull, that demented skull... it's in my.. AHAHA, IT'S IN MY POC...POCKETTTTttttt.
MURRAY: "Of course I am you infernal mortal lunatic and by the way, it'd be nice to get some air sometime soon!"
GUYBRUSH: "URGGGgggg, in my pocket...Why?! WHY?! WHYYYYYYY won't you listeeennnnnn....AHHAHAHAHA"
MURRAY: "Damn you fleshy fool, hear my EVIL voice and acknowledge my WICKED presence. I command you"
GUYBRUSH: "The voicessss... I hear them....VOICESsss IN MY HEAD..Whyyyyy can I hear them but YOU can'ttttt hear the SKULLLL is in myyy POCKET...AHAHAHAHA"
At this moment, a crunching sound, rather like footsteps on fallen Autumn leaves can be heard through a narrow window that shines a tiny shaft of light into the darkened room of the tower. It is the only source of light in the small, dank room and it is scant at that.
Guybrush slowly picks his frail, starved body up off the floor as he stumbles toward the opening. He raises his right hand to his face. His hand is dripping with the tears he has shed, they drop onto the cold stone surface of the floor. He is shielding the approaching sunlight from his sleep deprived eyes.
He reaches the window and moves his index finger apart from his middle finger, in order to see where and whom the sound is emitting from. He looks down and immediately recognises the man, who is casually strolling past the tower. The madness and torment that has plagued him so severely these past few days grows to new heights of sorrow...
It is Stan.
STAN (as he walks past, not noticing Guybrush way above): "Jeez, wait a moment. I've had my hearing aid off these past few days. Haha, that's better" (as he toggles the primitive sea-shell based aid back on).
Back in the tower, Guybrush backs away from the window and up against the far wall of the moist, rotted room, his hand no longer shielding his eyes but now clenched in a fist of rage...
GUYBRUSH: "Ahhh, ahaha...ahahaHAHHAHAHAA"
Several years later, within a bar which is a frequent watering-hole for pirates. There is a group of five or six pirates sat around a large table. Their eyes and ears are fixated on a surly looking Captain, as he continues to recant a spooky, local legend to them...
CAPTAIN: ..."and they say that if ye were to listen carefully, ye can still hear the haunting ramblings of the ghost, locked in the tower"
PIRATE 1: "What does the spirit say Captin'?"
CAPTAIN: "It screams out.... 'Bwwahahahahaa, why? WHY? WHYYYYY won't you hear my EVIL voice and let my WICKED self get some AIR?!
And so the circle continues...
THE END
*sniffle*
Bravo! Brilliant! That was- *sniff* so MOVING! My heart is in shreds! You are a master!
This is a cool idea but not sure how it'd work with the pirate theme.
Really... I'm working on the script as we speak.
:eek:
I just thought in a funny japanese-like name which could be easy to misspel...
Voodoo it explains everything :P
Yo! Great news. We allready casted the roles for Guybrush and Stan's voices. We now need someone to try out for Murray! So, if anyone's interested, just make up some lines and send them to silverwolfpet at yahoo dot com.
Besides that, we figured out which program to use for the cutscenes, and the intro is going pretty well (in the script). We have the main idea sorted out and we're just waiting for more members to join. In the meantime, script, script, script.
