Story Time with Mister USEC_OFFICER
One day, at the Lion's Head Tavern, the local Dwarf Fortress fan club met. The fan club was headed by Mr. Toupée and his friend, Mr. Beard. Mr Toupée had the power to shoot money out of his eyes, while Mr. Beard had a beard. Hence his name.
Now, on this fine day something special happened. Many people attended the local Dwarf Fortress fan club meet. So many people attended, in fact, that Mr. Beard evolved! His eyes turned blood red, much to the shock of Mr. Toupée. Even more shocking was when the local police showed up.
"Halt, criminal scum!" they shouted as they attacked Mr. Beard. However Mr. Beard was too fast for them, and killed them all with his new found money shooting powers.
Meanwhile, in the New York Stock Exchange, Professor Monocle was shooting up demons. "How interesting," he muttered, examining a piece of money while simultaneously executing a horned devil. Sensing a great disturbance in the national economy, hurriedly left the Stock Exchange with his sidekick, Mr. Not-Important.
Meanwhile meanwhile, Mr. Toupée and Mr. Beard were shocked, for bombs were raining down from the sky! Said bombs were from the Great War between Great Britain and France, and actually had nothing to do with Mr. Toupée and Mr. Beard. Still, they were caught in the crossfire, and I guess that's important.
Meanwhile meanwhile meanwhile, Professor Monocle was giving a presentation to the American Board of Economics about his findings. The board was quite surprised and shocked at Professor Monocle's findings (except for Mr. Brown, who only got onto the Board because of his uncle, and thus had no clue what was going on).
Long story short, Professor Monocle and Mr. Not-Important challenged Mr. Toupée and Mr. Beard over the fate of the US economy. The combined abilities of Mr. Beard and Mr. Toupée was seriously devaluing the currency and affecting the lives of billions. It was a long battle, and hard fought too. For a while it seemed like Mr. Beard was going to win when he summoned Cookie Monster, but Professor Monocle countered with the Spirit of Jesus. The two sides were too evenly matched, and decided to declare a draw, united by their mutual love of Dwarf Fortress.
The End.
