More announced soon. |
NOTE: This is the short story the 2008 show theme is based off of. The world has been trying to figure out the bizarre events in Bern, Switzerland; in May of 2008. The Large Hadron Collider's accident and decommissioning has been tickling the brains of some of the world's greatest scientists. Unfortunately for them, the mystery has already been solved by us, the people of Crammed Organisms. We have the inside story on the phenomena that's being talked about all across the globe.Dr. Jerry Yuster and his wife, Dr. Sara Yuster were developing theories pertaining to the Large Hadron Collider and the possible consequences of utilizing the device. As they continued their research they became alarmed at what the equations were telling them: the Large Hadron Collider could rip apart space and time and create a rift; either a black hole or some other sort of tear. As the machine was built they lodged several formal protests with the United Scientific Association (U.S.A) of England, the U.S.A. of Switzerland, and the U.S.A. of the U.S.A. Unfortunately their pleas went unheard. Desperate to prove their theories correct they turned over entire libraries, filled chalkboards with equations spanning several feet, and interviewed hundreds of physicists. As their research delved deeper and deeper into the Collider they found that the only way to stop a calamitous scenario was to take matters into their own hands. As it turned out, the effects of the Collider could be altered by the power of the human mind; should many people be focusing on bad thoughts the L.H.C. will pick up on them and open up a portal that will bring terrible things to our world. Should people focus on good things, say, maybe, stuffed animals, then such things would pop out instead. With the U.S.A. not listening they went forward with their plan, changing the entire world in the process. The doctors were lucky; their son was an up and coming artist and store owner in Saint Louis, Missouri. Wyatt Yuster (A.K.A. Mr. Crammed) was already running a popular website called "Crammed Organisms" which featured plushie designs from around the country. The parents came up with a plan, which would trick their own son into doing the work for them. Codenamed C.M.I. or "Creative Minds in Isolation", the plan would involve their fake disappearance as well as "suggestions" that would work to get him to create the largest plush show the world had ever seen. This, they hoped, would get enough people focused on a good, happy, fun thing that the Large Hadron Collider would spew plushies instead of demons straight from the pits of hell. They executed their plan on January 31st, 2008; leaving a mysterious message on their son's answering machine. Included in the message were suggestions of "sewing machines". After that they placed a basket full of stuffed animals by his front door with the message "They Are Coming". Later on, in a packed craft show in Saint Louis, the parents had agents place that same message in the hands of plush dolls. When Wyatt tried to show people what he saw the signs would always be gone, snatched up when he wasn't looking. As the campaign went on their son turned to the online plush community for help and consolation. He documented and shared his research into what his parents were working on before they vanished; hoping to learn reasons for their disappearance. He transformed his popular plush website into a headquarters for his ongoing search for clues. Titled the "They are Coming Occurrences", he hosted all of his findings there up until the point of its hijacking by (at the time) unknown hackers. On February 9th his website was taken over and replaced with bizarre messages speaking of a project called "Creative Minds in Isolation", featuring a glitchy video in the background. Upon seeing this a user by the name of Nevertidy suggested that Wyatt create a plush show. It seems that some of the information supplied on the hijacked site were quotes from Surrealist Salvador Dali; indicating that good things can happen when people put their minds to it. Given all the signs, and having reached a dead end in the investigation, it seemed to the both of them that a plush show on a grand scale might bring good things, perhaps even a resolution to this mystery. Promoting hard for artists and public interest, he spread news of his ideas across the net. He planned a big plush show, the largest plush show in the entire world. Multiple venues, musicians, food, the works! He scoured the web looking for anyone that might be able to help him; getting artists, designers, writers, photographers, and others involved in the project. As time went on more and more people began to take notice; and soon applications to be in the show filled his inbox. People were talking about it in chatrooms, forums, blogs, coffee houses, and living rooms. It was May, the Large Hadron Collider was set to be switched on. Doctors Mr. and Mrs. Yuster monitored their son's progress in feverish anticipation. They hoped they had done right by their son, they hoped their plan worked, they hoped they didn't scar their son for life; prompting decades of intensive therapy. As the machines whurred, as the throbbing hummmm of the Collider began, as the lights in Geneva dimmed the world watched and waited, none more so than the Yusters. It wasn't even an hour after the L.H.C. was turned on that reports of strange occurrences in the area flooded the news outlets. The people in Bern and Geneva were being overrun by unidentified creatures, the facility where the L.H.C. was located was no longer responding to calls. It wasn't until the next day that the full story was revealed. As the world panicked, fearing all the terrible rumors about the Collider were true, the scientists on-site were baffled by the large, stable portal that opened up in one of the break-rooms. On the other side they could see what looked like some sort of magical fairy-land, filled with rainbows, elves, hobgoblins, and fields and fields of cotton. After a few minutes of staring one of the creatures noticed the scientists. A report from Dr. Jered Hashling, a scientist working at the facility, told of a fluffy-looking being calling out to his friends in an unknown language. They soon saw a few dozen other creatures approach the hole then calling for more, more came, and more, and more and more. Soon there were more fanciful animals then could be counted; and soon one of them became brave enough to step forward and try passing through the hole. A small giant-eyed, fuzzy guy came forward and poked his little toe through the hole, immediately jumping back. He tried again with his whole foot, then his arms, then his whole body. He looked up, confused, at the tall people standing in front of him with big white coats. He looked back to his comrades, gave a large "whooting"sound and waved his arms. Moments later, a stampede of bizarre imaginations flooded through the portal and into our world; the scientists fleeing in front of them. The rest, they say, is history. |
