Noxious fumes have overwhelmed Stewart. Stumbling through surreality, he experiences many things…

Trippier the better.
Inconsistencies and inexplicable events are NOT going to be considered continuity errors. Trying to leave the hallucination will ALWAYS be considered a continuity error.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

Title: Eerie
Script: It’s dark. Stewart sees a small squirrel, which shows off its vampiric teeth, and whispers Stewart a secret. Having ripped the Contradictory Sharp Icy Fire Bat From The Inquisitive Hearing Ear of the squirrel, he bowls it towards a herd of sheep people, who howl as it explodes with radiance.

Title: Peel
Stewart’s face gradually morphs into that of a much older man (someone like Philip Terry). He is suddenly surrounded by six Philip Terrys, all of whom are singing Gregorian Chant. “GET OUT OF MY HEAD!” screams Stewart, before clawing at their faces which come away like wallpaper.

The Captain, Bilbo Baggins, asks “Do you know what time it is?” A music video follows, starring MC Hammer (someone like R. Henry Grey). Several background Klingons really get into it.

FYI, the 2.5 deaths are from Klingons attempting to imitate Hammer’s dance moves.

Well I don’t think that anyone else needs to bother with a soundtrack. I know where my vote is going.

Rule 2.2 Acts: ‘If a Scripter has not yet created a Scene for an Act that is not Finished, he or she may do so…’
You can’t post two scenes in the same Act, Psycho. The second one is invalid.
And yes. U Can’t Touch that as a soundtrack choice, Qwaz. :D
Influenza:
‘Scripters must add their Popularity (rounding it down to the nearest whole number,’
technically qwaz’ scene ought to have two deaths then, but it doesn’t really matter ^^, esp. since the scene itself is awesome.

Okay, make that

Title: Headless

Why is Scripter Josh linking to
from his scene? (It’s in the blank line below the “Script” section.) Could this be some form of… subliminal advertising?
Josh: he/they
Damnit :D I should have made the much smaller.
Devenger:
The Producer is amused. He’s also wondering how Kevan spotted that…
I agree with the objection. Josh’s scene is Cut.
Qwazukee:
Ok, I’m about to post a fixed Scene, just in case Fix doesn’t pass.

This will cease to be a valid scene if the Fix CfJ passes.
Qwazukee:
Actually, since my first Scene had the wrong Body Count, it was invalid no matter what. Thus, the Scene I just posted is valid even if Fix passes.

Title: Aerial Combo: 24 hits!
Script: After a small explosion, Hero is propelled into space, where he finds he can breath. He lands on a distant planet populated with one sandwich, one wrap, and one cream-cheese bagel. In an epic aerial fight, they are dispatched, and seem to bleed just fine.

Anyway, new scene to make up for destroyed scenes:

I believe you posted a scene ages ago already.
Klisz:
Yes, but because Fix failed, it is invalid and I can therefore post another one.
Kevan: he/him
I think you’ve misread something - Fix is still pending, with 5 votes in favour and 1 against.
Klisz:

oh.

Did Blognomic start in England?
Josh: he/they
It started on the internet, but Kevan is English.

Title: Wait, GREEN? What?
Script: Three purple elphants mysteriously appear, and offer Hero a Ride. Suddenly, a mysterious figure in a black cloak (Isabel Jewell) waves a banana at the elphants, who turn green. Ahh! Then they start singing Celine Dion songs. AHHH!
Theme Music: http://blognomic.com
I was going to link to the Celine Dion, but it was too scary. Waaay to scary. Better it be the nice, quiet music of Blognomic. (Very Quiet)

The alt-text to Scripter Wakukee’s link says “Why did I link to Blognomic? Because blognomic is Awesome!!! You should try.” Although Blognomic is not a product, per se, this does nevertheless seem to be a case of subliminal advertising.
Wakukee:
BTW, The music is “Silence”, By “Blognomic”.
Josh: he/they
Bah, too much Phoenix Wright.

Wakukee:
“and must encourage the purchase of an actual, real-world product”
Blognomic is free, buddy. No advertisng there. I just had no music.
Wakukee:
Actually, I used the wrong link XD. Here is the one I meant to use: blognomic.com/archive/invisible_posts
Wakukee:
But as it stands, no subliminal advertising.
Josh: he/they
Well, there kinda is, just not the claim that I actually made; by linking to BlogNomic, you are linking to the entire contents of BlogNomic, which includes a picture saying “Buy Sony Laptops”. But that’s not the claim I made, alas, so I’ll have to wait for Dev to fail this one, then claim again ^_^
Wakukee:
Well, that could be used to say that if youtube has an advertisment, then all youtube links are advertising. I think only liks to advertisiments should count.
Josh: he/they
That’s a whole other continuity claim - a whole other series of claims, really - but at the moment, the rather vaguely-worded rule permits my interpretation, so I guess that’s up to the Producer when all is said and done.

I disagree/object/don’t think is right the claim put forward by Josh. Wak’s sheer incompetence saves him this time.

Title: Floating
The hero floats through a bubbly green gas, with small fluffy pink fish swimming around. He turns into a metal shark and eats two of them, flicking a third into a large boulder with its tail (which ends up badly crushed and explodes), and shoots the fourth with a laser.
