[patriotclock]

Since i am on the list of people you listed I will be glad to help but I dunno with what

[Lump Clock]

I'll give it a shot!

Great! I can't wait to see it. Also, anyone else is welcome to make one, as I will be able to use all of them for different episodes! So please, give it a shot!

Maybe you can get me speakonia with a lot of different kinds of voices, both male and female, as well as robotic. Or you can Make epic music for battles or just background music in general? If you can't do either of those, I would be happy to see what ideas you come up with!

Is this an actual Speakonia? Or are you looking for any kind of program like Speakonia with a multitude of voices?

[Topcatyo]

Well, I'm about to post the official list of Staring Characters, but the cameo list can get bigger and bigger. Also, Topcatyo, as homage to you and Action's comics you will actually be shown together as buddies in my Flash

Hahahaha, awesome

This

Hahahaha, awesome

I am going to put out a list of characters catagorized by their roles in the story (good, bad, progressor, cameo). You are amongst the good catagory, that's all I'll tell you. Anymore and I ruin it.

[Lump Clock]

Oh a problem already.. I can't open flash and when I try to uninstall it to re-install it, it keeps saying I can't because flash is open.. which it obviously is not otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

Go to the task manager, then go to processes and look for flash and close it. Then try to open up flash

That last one is really good. You can record them with audiacity if it doesn't work to save.

[LambdaClock]

I finally got the script for Trial 1 all typed up. It reveals a couple of the main characters good and evil, takes a look at CC history, and overall sets up the mood for the rest of the series. Which is why it's called Trial1: Genesis. It's a long read that I wish for criticism on, so please enjoy.

Clock Crew Epoch: Trials and Tribulations
Trial 1: Genesis
Scene 1
(Soothing, epic music begins while credits roll.)
-Fade out as credits and song end, Fade in to image of God Clock and more music-
“There is a story that I must tell you, the story of the Clock Crew. I am the One highest, and I see all things that happen. I keep a special eye on my most loved creation, the Clock Crew.”  Opening a small tome, the camera zooms in on the pictures in the book as a slide begins.
“Long ago, there was a land ruled by Sorrow and Hatred.”
(Depicts cliché war zone Newgrounds shadowed by the two horrible demons, Sorrow and Hatred.)
“With no one to guide them, the citizens of this once holy land of Newgrounds fell under the tyranny of the two demons.”
(Depicts enslaved objects, like fruits, vegetables, appliances, etc)
“Fed up with the tyrannous ways of the demons, a small group of Fruits bearing the signet of time rose to resist these evils. Leading them was the smallest and most humble of the group, Strawberry, who wielded the Holy Word.”
(Depicts the classic five, Strawberry, Orange, Grape, Pineapple and Raspberry challenging the Demons, Strawberry calling out the holy word, ‘B’)
“Only a chosen few would be able to understand the truth of this Holy Word, and it would be those few who would drive out the evil and save Newgrounds, claiming the Portal in the name of the Clock Crew.”
(Depicts Demons being chased into the void by the 5 along with other clocks: Turd, Knotts, Z, Carrot, Apple, Pear)
“However, there were many who still lived with Darkness in their hearts and opposed the influence of the Clock Crew, turning their backs on ‘B’. The great Lock War…, Mr. Artist…, Ki10…, The Anti-Klock Klan. Though these were great hardships they all lead to great victories, and with each the ranks of the Crew had bolstered.”
(As each Event or Villain is named depict them, finally with Strawberry standing on a mound looking triumphant. Lump clock can be seen looking up at Strawberry with reverence.)
“But as peace and harmony finally spread throughout Clocktopia and all seemed like good times ahead, the 5 left Clocktopia unexpectedly and without warning on some unknown quest.”
(Depict an empty throne room, with the crown on the middle thrown, fading out.)
“Thrown into a brief period of chaos, Clocktopia had no rulers. But five more brave souls rose to take the place of the 5, calling themselves the Circle and once again bringing peace and prosperity.”
(Depict the Circle sitting on their thrones nobly, Renegade, Leek, Tree, Sage, and Bit.)
“…But peace would not last for long, and He knew this even then…”
(Depicts a suspicious looking Bit, Lump with Stop both looking distressed upon Bit.)
“The prospect of Ultimate Power is too tempting for some, and soon one of the Circle members would fall into corruption and evil ways. Using his powers of persuasion and deceit, Bit nearly turned the Clock Crew against itself, including the Circle, claiming himself Emperor of Clocktopia and condemning all who opposed his might.”
(Depicts various images of CC and Circle members turning on each other, clocks being banished, and Bit standing tall and evil like a monolith above a kneeling CC)
“…Even then, he was there, sentinel to this horrible time…”
(Depict Lump Standing atop a hill, kneeling above his murdered brother’s grave ‘Stop Clock’)
“But finally seeing through Bit’s lies, the four banished Bit into the deepest, darkest recesses of the Void where he would be imprisoned for eternity by the Ancient Spirits Red, Blue and Green who first revealed the truth of ‘B’ to Strawberry many years ago.”
(Depicts the circle casting Bit into the Void, then to the mighty Red, Blue and Green holding their mighty weapons *each a different one* guarding an imprisoned Bit Clock.)
“…He even had witnessed this…”
(Depicts Lump Clock staring into the Void, over a cliff's edge)
“Though Bit’s reign of terror had ended, his actions had forced Clocktopia into troubled times…”
(Depicts ravaged Clocktopia filled with struggle and pain.)
“Many Clocks left for a better life…,”
(Koala, Munglai, Corpsey, Renegade)
“New faces joined the ranks as well…,”
(Bobber, Coal, Caramel Apple, Sensu.)
“And slowly, but surely Clocktopia entered another time of peace, waiting for the return of their king.”
(Show a light shinning onto the empty throne of Strawberry, crown sitting in his place.)
“…He had been through this too…, observing…, planning…”
(Depicts Lump looking down on the hill with his brother’s grave, with a different light)
“And just as things were finally beginning to settle in Clocktopia…
Well, that’s where our story begins… with an ignorant and unknowing hero…,
Our humble, little, underappreciated-”
-Narrative Ends-
End of Scene 1

Scene 2
We see the face of a slumbering Flounderman, as the camera pans out to show him sleeping on the park bench (insert clock cameos in the park).
“Flounderman! Flounderman, wake up!” Exclaims Rose as she walks up to Flounder sleeping on the bench.
Rose stands over a mumbling Flounderman, who is fast asleep on a park bench.  Rose has shifted her weight onto one leg, her hands on her swaggered hips, and an annoyed look on her face.
“Just five more minutes, mommy…” mumbles Flounder.
Rose looks down at Flounderman, she is clearly frustrated. In her anger she brandishes a thorny finger and jabs him in the rear.
“GET UP YOU IDIOT!” Rose yells at Flounder.
Flounder jumps high from the pain in his rear, suddenly awake, “OW! What the f-!” but his protest of pain is quickly cut short as his jump from the bench topples him over the back. “Aagh!” he yells as he falls, landing with a thud and an ‘oof’.
Rose shakes her head and rubs her temples, groaning from a headache. She continues to attempt her reasoning with Flounder, leaning over the bench to look down at him.
“Listen you fish-headed fool, if you don’t get up now you will be late to your Interview for a job at Frank’s Franks, remember? It’s at three…”
Flounder takes a lengthy moment to consider this situation. He looks around at his surroundings with a confused look on his face, then back to Rose and scratches his head. After staring at her for a moment his expression changes to that of excited and decides that he remembers, “Oh yeah! When time is it again?”
Staring at Flounder with an expression that says ‘you can’t really be this dumb can you’ Rose points out a blatantly obvious fact to Flounderman, “You’re a Clock, Flounder; you should be able to inherently tell the time. And what makes it worse is that you’re looking right at my face, which in fact has a clock on it to tell time with.”
The screen is showing us that he is in fact not looking at her face as she is speaking, but as she says the last sentence, Flounderman quickly looks up at her face.
“Oshit! I have ten minutes to be there!!!”
Hoping to his feet with incredible agility, Flounder dashes off towards downtown with amazing speed, causing chaos and mayhem throughout the park as he tries to maneuver around people and objects off all kinds.
(Camera Pans Out)Watching Flounder run through the park causing disasters, Rose takes a deep and final sigh, her hands back on her swaggered hips. She speaks to herself out loud, “Oh, Flounder, what am I gonna do with you?...”
-Fade out-
End Scene 2

Scene 3
   Fade into a winded Flounderman standing outside of the corner restaurant Frank’s Franks, upset with himself because he inherently knows that he is late for his interview with Frank… again.
   “Dang, I’m late again…”
   Walking into the street-corner restaurant, Flounder quickly yells out to Frank hopefully to throw him off enough to get a second chance.
   “Hey, Frank? Where you at? I’m here for my interview, I’m sorry I’m late! Please gimme another chance! I really need thi-“
   However, Frank proves to be all to wise to Flounder’s tactics and interrupts him without hesitation.
   “Forget it!” Says Frank dryly, walking past him like he wasn’t there, arranging things on the counter top. “You’re not even my employee yet, and already you’re late (like all the other times). I’ve given you enough chances. In fact I feel like hiring you just to fire you.”
   Frank continues on his business serving food to customers. Flounder’s expression is depressed, hunching his body. Frank continues, “Besides, I already hired someone else that is much better than you.” He says this without remorse and much insensitivity.
   Flounder is suddenly angered, rising his body again in a challenging pose, his expression steely, “Oh yeah? And who is that?!”
   The employee with the apron pokes his head out of the kitchen, and Frank puts on a happy expression, “It’s Heavy Metal, Flounder!”
   Flounder is even more enraged, mumbling angry things about Heavy Metal being a job stealing bastard. Frank continues to speak, “He is much more enthusiastic, has much better work ethic, and is way more reliable than you will ever be, Flounderman.”
   Enraged and disheartened, Flounder storms out of the store, cursing Hell under his breath as he leaves. Not too far away from there, Flounder stops at a bus stop to wait for a bus. Suddenly thunder rolls and Flounder is caught in a flash storm drenching him wet.
   The scene shoots to Flounder in his apartment, drying himself off with a towel in one hand while  he holds the phone to his ear, talking to Rose, explaining the sad situation.
   “… And then he tells me that he hired Heavy Metal instead! AAARGH, man Frank sucks so much!!”
   Rose can be heard over the phone, Flounder moving about his home, “Well, Flounder, maybe if you weren’t so unreliable, then you’d… get a… job…”
   Rose let her words sit for a moment as if she had said something out of place, the silence quickly becoming awkward.
   “Rose, I-“
“Flounder, I’ve been thinking…”
   “…Yeah?”
The scene splits to Rose in her home, she’s laying on her couch in something comfortable, talking on the phone, she’s leaning her head back, a look of concern on her face, “Yeah,… and I think that…”
   We can hear Flounder over the phone, “That what, Rose?”
“That… that maybe you and I need to sit down and talk about each other’s future-“
   “What?! But I thou-“
“FLOUNDER!! When you told me you were going to drop out of college to pursue your artistic dreams I was all ready and geared to support you, completely!... You said you’d get a steady job, said you would be on your feet in no time, and I trusted you…”
   Rose’s eyes are tearing up and her expression hurt, Flounder remains silent.
“You said you’d sell some art on the side, said you’d make some money and keep on your feet, … But you haven’t been on your feet in almost a year now and you haven’t sold a piece of art in nearly just as long…”
   Flounder responds in a small, hurt voice, “…but I…”
Another long pause, “Flounder, all I’m saying is… is-“
“Is what, Rose?”
“We need to sit down and set your priorities straight…”
   There is a long pause with no response and Rose speaks out, “Flounder?” She looks down at her phone to see ‘Call Dropped’
   However, on Flounder’s end it is a different story. Looking at his phone, all he sees is that the call has ended. Flounder’s eyes begin to well up with tears, as his expression turns pissed! He throws a fit of rage and yells, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!! MOTHER FUCK!!!”  He throws his phone against the wall, breaking it in to several pieces.
   Throwing himself on the couch, Flounder’s tearful anger slowly turns to hopeless sadness as cries into the couch’s arm and slowly falls asleep…
-Fade Out-
End of Scene 3

Scene 4
Flounder suddenly wakes up, finding that he is standing in a strange foggy place. The ground is rugged and bumpy, hard as rock, but looks almost similar to bark, though it is hard to tell through the thick fog. As Flounder looks up at the sky, he stares into an amazing sight. The sky is a dark grey color, and shifting as if it were alive, it’s shifting reach endless. Flounder is mesmerized and confused; he begins to stumble on unsure of where to go. Suddenly an omnipresent voice calls out to him, slow and deliberate,
“Flounderman Clock.”
Confused, Flounder looks around for the body that the voice came from, succeeding to no avail. The voice speaks again.
   “Flounderman Clock…, Come to me.”
Seeming to know in which direction he should follow the voice, Flounder begins to walk cautiously in that direction, following the voice which speaks again.
   “Flounderman Clock…, I desire your presence… Find me quickly, young one.”
Flounder begins to run towards the voice in an excited, but frightened manner. The voice continues to edge him on,
   “Warmer, Flounderman Clock…”
He runs faster.
   “Warmer…”
Sprinting, Flounder is breathing hard.
   “Hot.”
Flounder stops suddenly almost tumbling over, staring at the ground and panting. But suddenly his breath slows as he slowly looks up at the pillar like thing in front of him. When his face finally reaches the top his face is shocked and amazed at the marvelous sight.
   Starting from the base of the object where we see the roots spreading out and twining, we realize the ground was the roots, the camera pans up and out to capture the whole image of Tree Clock. As this happens and we see more and more of Tree, he speaks, “I have been waiting for this day…, for this dream…, So that I may unfold to you… a strand of Destiny…”
   Epic music starts to play, as the camera finally stops panning, we realize the shifting sky was Tree’s leaves. The whole dream world, plane of existence is Tree Clock. The ground his roots, the sky his reaching vines. The picture suddenly cuts to the title screen Reading:
