Post #556, by Luna

"Well, as I figure it, since I have no weapon (Those stupid blue guys took my gun), I suppose we'll have to make a run for it. On the count of 3, we run screaming to the blue store!" Luna mumbled to Pogopunk.
I got lost on the reason why screaming is vital to Luna's master plan. Or was it just because it's fun?
"Sounds like a reasonable plan. I don't think this pogo stick is going to do anything againest some crazy blue guys." Pogopunk mumbled back.
But isn't that your Atomic Pogo Stick of Great Death? It can severely injure eldritch abominations, but it... can't do anything against some crazy blue guys. Huh.
"1... 2... 3!"
"AIEEEEEEEEE!!!" The two screamed at the top of their lungs, confusing the happy-haappyists for a second. A second was all they needed, and dashed off to the store. When inside, then slammed the door and put various heavy objects up againest it.
Luna really thinks it's spelled "againest." Also: You don't think the guys working in the shop have any problem with your preventing (a) potential customers and (b) their blue buddies from entering?

Also, it's interesting how Luna is happily playing along with being pogopunk's exclusive buddy for now.
"Okay, shopkeeper!" Luna said, turning to a quivering blue guy tending the shop "We need weapons, defense items, and food, and we need it now!"
Awesome! They're sticking up the village drugstore! (Presumably Luna is holding her finger out under her jacket, since she doesn't have a gun.)

Either way, it doesn't seem like much of a threat if you're admitting right up front you're in need of weapons, does it? A little like running into a gun shop and yelling at the owner, "Give me a gun right now!"
"O...Okay..." The shopkeeper mumbled nervously, handing over some very good weapons and items, including 2 gutsy bats, 2 star pendants, 2 souvineir coins, 2 goddess bands, and many assorted foods.
Yeah, I would also love to hear how or why exactly the hell these guys have Gutsy Bats and Goddess Bands, and if they do, why the hell they don't use them to beat the living hell out of a couple of kids who barge into their store and hold it up. This is just like someone barging into your room, unarmed, while you are holding a fully loaded M16 assault rifle, and demanding you hand over the rifle now--and you hand it over to them.
"Woah... I didn't know you guys had this stuff!" Pogopunk said, gawking at the star pendants and gutsy bats.
"We keep this stuff from regular customers... please don't hurt me!" The shopkeeper squealed, and ducked under the counter.
But we gladly give them to unarmed robbers!
Luna and Pogopunk equipped themselves and paid the blue guy 20$.
"Well, now that we're ready, what do we do?" Pogopunk asked Luna.
I'm willing to place a large wager that you didn't just get done arming yourselves to the teeth so you can quietly slip away to a safe place.
"We attack!" Luna smiled.
And I thought it was bad when Chris stole a boat that wasn't even seaworthy. Here are Luna and pogopunk committing armed robbery against a helpless small-town shop owner. The Annotated Gathering: where adolescent girls fantasize about committing major felonies!



Post #567, by PSIOsman

I had to delete my last two posts because durring the time I'm writing, 5 other posts are made!! ok, typing quickly...
And two more were made while you were bitching!

You see someone complain about the pace of posting time after time because everyone felt keenly that they were participating something monumental, even historic, and wanted to express their awareness of that. He's not actually bitching; he's really writing that as a "wow, this is so awesome!"
"Hey, you, Starpunk! I'm tired of civilized discussion, Foppy Now!"
You'll notice that like many IF writers, Major Asshole does not have long tolerance for civilized discussion. Forty seconds tops, and it's time for blood to spurt.
With that, foppy rendered all shields useless
Makes you wonder why anyone bothers writing shields into the story so the next poster can, sure as sunrise, handwave them away, really. But they keep on doing it.
"Osman attack!"

Osman unshethed his deadly blade, striking a devistating first blow
to spelling.
"Chris, Juliana, Go!"
Yeah, you can just hear PSI and Chris instantly shouting, "sir, yes sir!" You wonder how much of this PSI322 can take before she decides she's better off with Chris's endless roundabout professions of undying love.
The two pummeled the Starman with their home run derby bats, knocking the enemy for one heck of a loop
I laughed. We need more language like "knocking the enemy for one heck of a loop" in our books.
"Ness! Take it!"

Ness thrashed the Supreme with everything he had
Wait, what the hell? Last I saw Ness, about 30 posts ago, Tengu was still dicking around with him. Now he's here, by himself, with no further explanation. I almost have to admire Major Asshole's complete disregard--as in, it never even crosses his mind--for anything making sense. He just goes with it, man.
"Alan! NOW!"

"PSI SURF!!!"
the events that followed were so incredible, that no amount of typing does is justice.
That might be the most awesome line in the entire Gathering so far. I love this guy.
Supreme was on the ropes

The last words Supreme ever heard came from Sir as he launched the final blow with his lightweight bazooka:

"We don't like being put in tubes."
Admit it: you didn't think for even a second anyone but Major Asshole was launching a final blow here, did you?



Post #558, by Mog116

(Look in my first post in the page 1. HAHA! Eat my shorts!)
LOL. However is Tengu going to respond to that devastating repartee?
After several minutes of telepathy, Mog gave up. "Fine lets fight."
You sound so disappointed to have to fight, too. Truly Gandhi could not fault you.
The Dark Shadow melted into a peerfect copy of Mog. "I will give you the Siren PSIer if you win."
I'd forgotten what the hell the Dark Shadow was, and it was only like 5 posts ago. Shows how much of a prayer there was of anyone even noticing what Mog was doing at the time.

I like how Dark Shadow is such a good sport. One presumes Mog wins when Dark Shadow is dead, leaving one to wonder why it couldn't come up with a better opening line than offering Mog what in this hypothetical would naturally be his anyway.
The floor gave way and they fell through into a room with a small island in the middle. "alright. PSI SUMMON: CHOCO/MOOGLE!" A moogle riding a chocobo ran into the room and rammed Dark Mog. Dark Mog used Mimic. The whole thing ran backwards hitting Mog for 2X damage. Mog dashed after Dark Mog and jabbed him with his spear. Dark Mog shot Mog with evil light. Mog absorbed the power of the light as rage. Mog gained a FForce Level.
Oh my god! I just gained a level myself! I'm investing it in an extra level of Could Not Care Less.
