Once a repair crew had been sent to work on the elevator, Juliana thanked her kind and brave rescuer and set off on her own again.
That is: Juliana left treadmarks getting the hell away from PP/QC.As she strolled through the elegant lobby, Juliana wondered what she'd be up to that day. She decided to go outside for a little while to see how the weather was; Juliana hoped that the sun was shining.
As she stepped outside, Juliana noticed all of the sand castles from last night's contest still standing triumphantly on the beach.
Must have had MacGyver go out and fire them until they were pure glass, for them to withstand the tide.Some of them had been wrecked or swallowed by the sea, but the one that she had built with Chris was still there. A faded blue ribbon hung from one of the castle's six towers; that was the ribbon that signified them as the first place winners in the contest. Juliana walked along the beach casually as if she were walking through the ruins of some royal city, watching the waves lapping at the shore of Eagleland Island.
Just then, she noticed some sort of craft off the shore of the island. It was fairly far away but still clearly visible. Juliana wondered if she was the only one who had seen this ship; of course, she wasn't, but she didn't know that at the time. Juliana backed away from the shoreline and looked around for someone to talk to about this...
Your cue, Chris!

Tenguling alert! Tengu's starting to move in on this story, preparing to pounce. WotE will be around to the end, I think.It was then that she noticed another craft show up ABOVE the first one. The new craft opened fire on the first one!
*Out in the Pacific*
Chris (better known as Warrior of the Eye) had finally gotten a chance to head for the gathering, when he head that the FBI was about to storm the island. So, he had built a FF4 style airship, and put togther a small army, and opened fire on the American Vessal.
Because everyone wants to join WotE's army. For Paula's glory!"Sir, when should we begin boarding?" The first mate asked.
"Begin now," Chris cooly replied. "Try not to take too many lives, just disable them."
Chris then went to the radio room and tried to contact any SM.net vessels. He only got one response, for Tim, who agreed to help as much as he could...
On the bright side, this should make a quick end of the FBI crap. As you all know, the FBI is always engaging in amphibious assaults on anyone it deems undesirable, even if they're a bunch of 13 year olds with no military.

(Wow, your comp gets screwed up for 3 days are there are 3 pages worth of additional posts.)
Want to guess what happens when your comp gets screwed up for 3 months?"Cool, more SSB," said Dr. Andonuts, while setting up his 32-player version. He left it alone for now and went off the EB and PQ tournament. He took cartriges from both games and scanned them with his computer. "Hmm," he muttered to himself, "If i change a couple of things there and a couple of things there, i'll end up with level 99999 characters. But that is a little too unethical. Ahh well, i guess i'll just go play more SSB."
But then, it's my own damn fault (or more accurately, my poor naive mother's) for buying a Pionex brand PC at Sam's Club.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Except by not saying anything myself, because the PQ thing is so stupid.Dr. Andonuts went back to the SSB game and started playing as Captain Falcon.

Having finished breakfast, Chris left and went to the elevator to get something from his room. After waiting ten minutes for it to appear, he decided to climb the stairs. On the way, he saw Juliana, and she said something about a repair crew on the way. Chris continued on up to his room.
I don't know why the hell he bothered to write this. I guess as a way of saying 'fine, you want to ignore me, I'll ignore you too!'From the window in his room, Chris saw what looked to be gunfire between an aerial vessel and a naval ship. Curious, but not overly concerned, Chris gathered up the remaning things he'd need for the day and left the room. This time, the elevator was working, and he reached toe lobby without any problems.
... toe lobby?The first order of business today was to round up all the people who wanted to participate in the talent show and hold a meeting for them in the auditorium. Thus, he set off for the auditorium, walking along the beachfront boardwalk from the hotel to the main auditorium. Along the way, Chris found Jenny, and asked her if she wanted to participate in the talent show. She said she might, and he responded to be in the auditorium in about an hour if she was interested.
He's definitely giving a blah/sulking vibe here, isn't he? Or am I reading too much into it?
No heroic rescues this time, sadly.When Chris arrived, he began setting up the auditorium, and made an announcement over the P.A. system that covered most of the explored area of the island that there would be a meeting just under an hour from now. He finished setting up and sat in a chair on the elevated speaking platform, waiting for everyone else to arrive.
I love the elevated speaking platform where Chris sits. Just as a reminder that he's better than you.

Dr. Andonuts considered which was more important, his SSB game or the meeting. He finally decided on the meeting and rushed there to get a front-row seat. He sat down and played with his palmtop while waiting for more people to come.
FIRST! FIRST!
Random, pointless fact: The reason you probably never saw my AC[s?] playing anything like SSB is because I never played a single game in the series, even today. :\ Sad isn't it. :P
ReplyDeleteBack to your regularly scheduled annotated Gathering, already in progress...
Is it because Paula wasn't in it?
ReplyDeleteNope. The honest reason is I never owned a console of ANY kind after SNES. I've been solely PC since then. I don't even have a single physical portable console on me. Not even a classic Gameboy. I've only owned an Atari 2600, NES and the aformentioned SNES. I've played the occasional post-3rd gen game on friends' systems during hangouts, but I consider PC to be my true console in a sense, even though it isn't.
ReplyDeleteYeah, pathetic, isn't it. :P
