Post #559, by Tengu Man/Makron

(Um, that's what you think, Mog.)
Mog is lucky and I am sorely disappointed. That was as harmless a response as you will ever see from Tengu Man. Goes to show how important Mog is. He bothers Tengu like a gnat.
After what seemed like eons of searching, Darth's group had reached the center of the ship.
You probably forgot what the hell ship he's talking about, so I'll bring you up to speed: Last time Tengu posted he declared there was a ninth sanctuary that was located on a space alien ship somewhere, so he and Paula and friends went to get it. I think Ness was supposed to be there too, but Major Asshole reappropriated him and I imagine that's just fine with Tengu, who never had that much use for the kid. Yes, I know it's stupid. But keep reading and just trust me: it's worth it.
A large bubble floated within the center of the room, in it was Ginack.
Some critter Tengu made up. No, you're not supposed to know anything about it.
"Welcome... I hoped you'd get here. One of your friends is being kept entertained. Some little moogle, but that doesn't matter. You've come for the ninth melody, and I'll make sure you don't get it." he said as he bursted the bubble he was in.
I guess that's an offhanded comment regarding Mog116's previous post where he's fighting that Dark Shadow thing for no known reason. Tengu liked to write his own stuff unperturbed by others, but of course to be allowed to post it in an Interactive Fiction thread he had to at least pretend it had some connection to the rest of the plot. Hence the offhand references to other posts here and there. But if you pay attention you'll notice the plot development in 90% of Tengu's posts bears no relevance to anything else in the thread and is followed up on by no one except the occasional Tenguling.
Ginack shot PSI Freeze Omega at Darth, who countered with a slash with his lightsaber.
I really don't think PSI Freeze is something you shoot. The in-game description says it causes freezing cold winds to swirl around its target and so on.
Diamond Dog put up a power shield around the group.
Again with the goddamned pointless shields.
Mani jumped at him with new staff she earned, resulting in a SMASH blow on his head. He countered with PSI Fire, knocking Mani to the ground.
Again Tengu demonstrates poor understanding of physics, in game and out. Exactly how is fire, which has no mass, supposed to knock someone down?
Paula PSI Shielded everyone but Diamond Dog, then used PSI Magnet, stealing some of his HP.
And now PSI Magnet magically drains HP. Don't ask why; it's magic, dammit! Tengu's rolling into Major Asshole proportions of making s--- up as he goes.
Ginack charged Darth and knocked him backwards into the wall, shaking him up a little. He recovered and took one of Ginack's tentacles off with a slash of the lightsaber.
I fail to grasp the point of a character being shaken up if the very next sentence leads with "he recovered" and said shaking up is never referenced again.
"ARGH! How dare you!!" he yelled, but was blind-sided by Diamond Dog's bite. He used telekensis to pick Diamond Dog up and toss him into the wall, but being made out of Diamonds, he was barely damaged.
I dunno. If you're patient enough you CAN beat Diamond Dog to death with baseball bats and frying pans and such. Diamond Dog is fairly harmless at that stage in the game.
After a whole hour of fighting, everyone, including Ginack were almost ready to fall.
That should say "was". Everyone was, not everyone were. And he also forgot a comma. Ahhh.... where's loid when you need him?
Darth took an opportunity to sever him with the lightsaber and Ginack fell.
Everyone who put their money on "this whole fight sequence will be a complete waste of time that will of course end with the writer's AC killing the monster," cash in your tickets!Too bad you only got odds of like 1:10, since that's how 95% of fights turn out in bad IF.
Tired from the fight, they stared at the shining spot. But where was the melody.

As they appoarched, Paula and Mani began to glow with a white light.

"Ack... what's happening?!" Paula screamed, as the light glowed and faded.
Obviously you are being anointed to your rightful status of Protagonist.
The two girls fall to their knees, and Darth and Diamond could only watch as a large spring of heavenly energy opened up in front of them. Paula and Mani had been the keys.

They walked up to the spring just as Mog ran in, tired from his fight with the Dark Shadow
It would be funny to watch Tengu react to Mog116 concluding his AC's in-progress fight for him and dragging him into Mog's own plotline.
"Did you guys... find it..." he gulped.

"Mog... come on... we'd all better gain the powers of this place, and fast." Darth told him.

The 5 walked up to the light, and glowed a bright white color, and their powers suddenly increased.

Darth went from level 34 to 43.
Mog went from level [Mog's current level] to [nine levels ahead of Mog's current level]
Mani's level went from [Mani's current level] to [nine levels ahead of Mani's current level]
Vitality went up by 10 for everyone.
IQ. went up by 15 for everyone
Speed went up by 10 for everyone
Luck went up by 20 for everyone.
Guts went up by 30 for everyone.
Everyone's Max HP went up by 150.
Everyone's Max PP went up by 75.
Don't roll your eyes too hard. At least that's that many fewer pointless battle scripts we'll have to read.
(Mog, you and my group both got the powers. You happy?)
Hahahahaha! That's so devious.



Post #560, by loid
There he is! The loid singal has been respnoded to!
-meahnwhile Anthadd and Kiyo were fighting shroom but noone seems to care sooooo....
I'm not certain if this is a complaint or just loid accepting the obvious. No one cares.
Kiyo looked at Anthadd, then at shroom and said
"Well actually shroom were not here to fight you. If you look at the raindrops over there, you'll see what I mean."
I'd try and gently break the bad news to him that Anthadd is no longer anywhere near him, but since neither Anthadd nor anyone else will ever read this post, it's not really necessary to break the poor kid's heart.
"What? Whats with the rain? Im looking but I dont see anything an..."
"NOW!" screamed anthadd. While shroom was looking away Kiyo and Anthadd pummeled it with rapid fire slingshot rocks and dimond hard yo-yo bashes, then shroom stopped moving.
"We did it, thats the last sanctuary." said Anthadd.
"But what about the one falc destroyed? We need those!"
suddenly a blue mist in the shape of an Ice Valk appeared. It spoke.
I'm not sure what an Ice Valk is or what game it's from. It was a spell in Lufia 2, but I presume that's not what loid is referencing.
"Smnetters, you have done well. You haved proved that the earth is worth saving so I will help you. Go back to fourside, the hill has been re-magnetized but beware, If evil stands opon that hill, then light turns to darkness, life to death and all will be lost."
"Um, ok." said anthadd confusedly.
Along with the rest of us. But Major Asshole is teaching us well. Let's just go with it, man.
"Well what are we waiting for? The world wont save itself! We gotta do this so we can go back and party man! Thats what we came here to do!"
In point of fact it's the other way around, and the party we started off with was just an excuse to go out and kick up some angst and bloodshed. I'm pretty sure you're the only one except possibly Chris that's interested in getting back to partying. And then Chris will head back out into bloodshedland once he realizes PSI322 isn't at the party.



Post #261, by Ness The Skittleboy

Ness The Skittleboy took care of the opposing forces quickly and slid his katana back into his sheath."Just who are you?" asked Juliana. "My name..is no concern.." said Skittleboy."
Pleased to meet you, No Concern. Were your parents on drugs, or just retarded?
No seriously..youve been following us..what purpose?" said PsiOman."I am a ninja..I have no purpose.I follow what is right." said Ness The Skittleboy.
That is not what ninjas do. You're going to have to clarify that a little further.

You're right, ninjas don't clarify, either. You got me there.
Juliana said "Well..thank you for your help anyways." Ness The Skittleboy nodded."Will you be coming with us?" said PsiOman."I am not certain.." said Ness The Skittleboy.He shifted his katana out of his sheath and began walking down the halls of the base."I would be of little help..anyway" said Ness The Skittleboy.

Who is this mysterious Ness The Skittleboy?
Find out in the next post in "The First Annual starmen.net gathering!"
I'm curious to know if he actually expects someone to care and will be disappointed when no one does, or if he's just in his own little world and going to treat himself like a celebrity and to hell with everyone else.
