The second annual Poe Cup for Nevermore Academy was coming up fast, and your hall had asked you to play for them. However, you refused, for a simple reason. You see, you had a bone to pick with multiple students per hall, so you really didn't want any of them to have the bragging rights of winning the Poe Cup under their belts. So, you hatched a cunning plan. You rounded up a few students who either had yet to partake in a Poe Cup, or simply had never witnessed one before, and began plotting. These were Eugene Ottinger, a swarmer and president of the Nevermore Hummers. Pugsley Addams, Wednesday's brother and Eugene's roommate, a spark. And Agnes DeMille, a vanisher who had a deep admiration for Wednesday and all things surrounding her. With your little band of misfits you were able to walk far enough along Jericho River, where the race would be held, and found a stranded canoe. The paint was chipped and battered, and a few planks needed replacing, but it was in shockingly good condition, all things considered. Once you had all managed to get it back to campus with the help of a DaVinci you paid, you stole the canoe stands from Ophelia Hall, simply because Agnes would only agree to help if you managed to piss off Enid, and got to work! Surprisingly enough, Principal Dort was perfectly fine with a fifth, impromptu team being made, as it "encouraged forward thinking and creativity" in his own words. So, in this year's Poe Cup, for the first time ever, there were to be five teams as opposed to four! The Gold Bugs for Puck Hall, the Black Cats for Ophelia Hall, the Pit and the Pendulum for Thisbie Hall, the Cask of Amontillado for Caliban Hall, and last but not least, the Misfits (that's your group by the way). So, refurbishing commenced, at the same time as everyone else in the glorious sunshine.

Eugene: "Whew! This baby's gonna be a challenge to patch up! I reckon we got the skills though, right team?"

Pugsley: "Yup!"

Agnes: "Why are you in charge?"

Pugsley: "You have to admit, he knows a thing or twelve about leadership."

Eugene: "Shucks!"

Agnes: "Ugh... Too cutesy..."

Eugene: "Heheheh! So, what's the plan for paint schemes, everyone? I want all ideas on the table! Nothing's a bad idea here!"

Pugsley: "We could do a buncha half eaten insects to show that we mean business!"

Eugene + Agnes: "Nothing's a bad idea except that."

Pugsley: "Awww!"

Agnes: "Alright, focus everyone! We've gotta make sure they'll all be knocked out of the park! At least by design if anything."

Eugene: "See! Agnes gets it! We've gotta have a design so good, they can't take their eyes away! Then our eyes can stay focused on the prize. Which we won't get if we don't have a proper paint job for our canoe to look presentable! So, uhhhh... oh! You haven't given an idea yet! You got any?"
