Thanks, guys. Here goes ch. 1!

CHAPTER ONE: NORMAL INSANITY
The main hallway of OWF was a total and complete mess. Trash, weapons, and the occasional passed-out member filled the hall. Alcar was passed out in a chair, a bottle of Rexy's Supa Secret Party-Enhancing Drink in one loose hand. Rich was fully laid down on the ground, drooling slightly into the shag rug. OANST was mumbling something about getting that donut vendor back some day.
Goresplatter lay like a king on top of a mound of chocolate candy bar wrappers. Cullen Health was slowly dragging himself toward the men's room, covered in an unspeakable green fluid. As Mitsur watched, he gave up and just passed out. Al was against the wall with a blanket that started just
below the belly button. SeaRex was mumbling something in Russian.
"Я не намеревался убить то рыболовное судно..."
Mitsur and Co. picked their way through the mess, occasionally having to shove a passed-out member out of their way. As they reached the end of the hall, and the door that led to their rooms, Splat stepped out the shadows, wearing his now-customary tuxedo.
"Shame they couldn't hold their liquor..." Splat sighed as he appeared right next to Rexy, making her give a small scream. When he heard the scream, Splat took out his 007-styled gun, and panned the room for threats. Satisfied that it was empty, he put it back, and continued to speak calmly.
"I have a feeling it had something to do with your 'party-enchancing' drinks, Rex." Splat said.
"Don't call me Rex. And anyways, how could my fantastical, wondercular, awenificint drinks do that?" She asked, angry and confused. Everyone except Splat slowly backed away, anticipating what was going to happen. Havoc conjured a WWII army helmet from nowhere and stuffed it on his head.
"Well, I don't know how to break this gently, Rexy, but..."
"You know," Mitsur interrupted suddenly, "I really should get back to my room. Really quickly." He gave Havoc a slap on the helmet, and dashed off.
"Uh, I'll go with him, to see that he'll be OK." Havoc said, and ran after him.
Bullet just kind of wandered off, smiling serenly, until he reached the corner, where he ran like the demons of Hell were chasing him.
Mitsur was halfway to his room when the explosion went off. He looked quickly behind him, and saw a gigantic wave off fire explode into the hallway and burn after them.
"HAVOC, RUN!!!!" Mitsur screamed. He looked at the rapidly-diminishing distance between them and the flames.
Havoc looked back, screamed, and ran even faster. His WWII hat flew off, and was consumed.
Doors started to open, the people inside glancing curiously to see what was happening. They saw the wall of flame, swore, and slammed the door.
Finally, Mitsur spotted the door to his room. He ran to it, opened the door, dashed in, and stood to the side as he watched Havoc run for the door.
"YOU'RE ALMOST THERE! GO GO GO!"
Havoc put on a burst of speed, and lunged for the door. He flew through, and Mitsur slammed the door. He felt and heard the flames slam against the door, then continue down the hall.
Havoc collapsed onto Mitsur's bed, sweaty and covered in soot.
Both of them were breathing heavily.
Suddenly, Havoc spoke.
"You know, I'm going to have to stay in here until the fire's out."
"Yeah..."
"Just a quick question. Can I use your shower?"
"What do you think?"
"Riiiiighht...."
An awkward silence descended.
"I think the fires out." Mitsur said.
"Really?"
"Yeah, really."
"Oh, then I'll get going then!"
Havoc stood, walked to the door, and pulled it open. The fire was still going strong, and the only reason it was not going inside the door was apparently it didn't feel like it.
Havoc turned around, confused.
"It's not out, what were you th- AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mitsur pushed Havoc out into the flames, and quickly closed the door.
Mitsur tried not to think about the horrible screams coming from outside. He went to his bed, collapsed into it, and promptly fell into a deep sleep.
