Welcome to The Bell Tree's long-awaited New Leaf Storyboard contest!

The Gist
Tell a story (fiction or non-fiction) with game screenshots and text. Each participant will submit one image that contains frames. Each frame is a screenshot of your game with a caption in text below it. Or if it's self-explanatory, you may not need a caption on every frame. Be creative.

Guidelines
  • You must take the screenshots yourself.
  • Keep all of your frames in one image. Use Paint, Photoshop, etc. to cut it together.
  • Do not make too many frames if you want people to vote for yours. People don't like reading long and boring stories.
  • Post your image in this thread with img tags so everyone can see it. Yes, these submissions will be public. Feel free to comment on other storyboards or ask questions in this thread.
  • All submissions will be compiled into one poll for voting on the 19th.
  • The poll will list the storyboards in the order they were submitted.

Dates
Submissions are due in this thread from July 9 - July 17.
Voting will take place in a public poll from July 19 - July 24.

Prizes
First place: Game guide, gold trophy shop icon, 200 forum Bells
Second place: Game guide, silver trophy shop icon, 150 forum Bells
Third place: Animal Crossing leaf decal (will be replaced with something else if PapaNer doesn't come back since he made these), bronze trophy shop icon, 100 forum Bells

Also because of the entry above, i have to make a note of this.

1) I wasn't here all day. So no, i am not mimicking the above person having a video. I made the video only because a 'comic screencap' was not able to grasp what I had in mind in total. It was also in progress of being made before the above person even posted.
2) Yes i did make the comic line, but the video was bonus for people who would rather like to view this story in an old-timy film style--or rather--what i had in mind for this to begin with.

Without further adieu, I will compile the pictures and post the video (both colored and black and white) soon after.

Here is my entry.



Clean story-------

It all started in college. I was working night shift in the botany lab. My job was a simple one, really: just occasionally check on Powder Puff throughout the night and report the findings. Powder Puff, of course, being our very rare, hybrid Dionaea Muscipula, or more commonly, the Venus Flytrap.

This was one of the highpoints of my career in genetics. I was a member of the team of students who helped research and create this hybrid plant. Over time, it became more than a mere plant. I devoted all my research toward it, all hours of the day and night. Powder Puff grew to be such an interest for me, it literally became my life’s work.

But one night while I was in the lab, checking on the plant, and I began to feel dizzy, and then sleepy. I was overwhelmed with this tiredness, and felt like I could fall asleep almost any minute. Still, I kept going, knowing that I could not rest because I still had a lot of important work to finish up on. I went over to the microscope and pulled my log book close beside to record my findings. And then, there in the Microscope, I discovered something truly terrifying.

It appeared that my creation, my Powder Puff, was producing in its pollen a sort of neurotoxin. Further testing revealed it to be quite powerful, and as I glanced around the lab, I noticed the fine yellow-green dust covering everything. The plant was shedding its pollen, quickly coating everything in the lab with the dangerous substance. I had no time to stop it, and the pollen was spreading quickly to dangerous levels.

I looked over at the piranha plant, then toward another. In a fervor, I rushed to the sink to scrub off whatever pollen that I could, and then abandoned the lab. I had no way to notify anyone. My inner human instinct brought me only one urge: seek safety!

As I made my way out of the lab and into the hallway of the science tech lab building, I could tell that the pollen had already spread through the air conditioning system in the lab into the hallways and the other classrooms nearby. It was too late for anyone else. The neurotoxin had by that time spread itself for no telling how long. I knew if I stayed the whole mess would be blamed on me. I had to hide!

I went undercover, and made my way to the train station in the next town over, far away from the college and the city. I decided to take the next train out of town. A bad situation became much worse the next morning, when I overheard other passengers coming into the station talking about how the whole city was sick and most were dying, all because of a neurotoxin that had been released from the science lab, and they were looking for the lab student who was in charge of the project.

They were looking for me. The police was looking for me! I couldn’t stay. I had to leave right away. So as soon as the train out of town arrive, I quietly got out of my seat, boarded the train, and sat in a corner of the passenger car, keeping quiet to myself. And then, as the train got underway and pulled out of the station, it rushed down the tracks with a loud thump-thump over the tracks.

“Safe,” I thought. There I sat, on a train hundreds of miles away from the city, the college, and putting more distance between me and that plant by the minute. By the time they figure out what happened, I would be long gone, and I would be free. New town, new people. Who would recognize me? How would they ever know what happened?

But in the midst of my thoughts of safety and freedom, my solace was broken by the shrill voice. I looked up and saw a casually dressed, grey and white male cat, standing in front of me just like a human.

""Excuse me. I have a quick question for you. May I please sit with you?"
