Posts #635-642: 25 April 2000

Post #635, by Anthadd

Anthadd emerged from the forest, battered and bruised, but nonetheless overjoyed to have escaped from the torture of the inner sanctum of Eagleland Island.
"Make note: In future, refrain from descending into the bowels of large, tropical islands."
Well, he cooled off and realized stomping his feet and leaving was kind of childish, but he's making no bones about how stupid he thinks the violence is.

(Hey, I was remembered in a flashback! Coool...)

Sir looked at his fellow knights and said "Hey, EBGuy, Svb, it's fun making sensless posts and quipping Python for no apperent reason, but I think this adventure don't call for it. Sorry about that, but post a new IF about something completly diffrent (get it?) and I'm there. Later!" And Sir left and went back to talk to Chris. "Hey, gonna do that improv thing soon?" Sir pulled up a rock
Apparently Major Asshole concurs with Anthadd. I wasn't expecting that.


Post #637, by EBPoo

After FINALLY landing in his homeland of Dalaam, Poo got out of the Skyrunner II as a crowd of girls gathered around him. "Ooo...Poo, you are such a hunk!" said one girl.
Hahaha. After all, there's no point in playing Poo if you don't bask in the worship of all the exotic Dalaamese girls.
"Sorry girls, but I have to check on something quite important," Poo said as he headed for Pink Cloud. The first thing Poo noticed was fallen bunny statues. That was not a good sign. Entering the cave, Poo found a large mass of cave where Pink Cloud used to be. "Falc--Fa--Falc...WHAT DID HE DO???" screamed Poo.
I'm scratching my head because, didn't we already do all of this like 150 posts ago? Seems like Poo's out of ideas.


Post #638, by Luna

Luna rolled ove n her towel on the sunny beach of the island eagleland, just outside the sm.net hotel. Beside her was her back pack containing all her stuff, including the sound stone with one melody. Suddenly, it hit her. The only melody that hadn't been collected... was the milky well melody!
"I gotta go get it!" She said to herself, and jumped up, and looked over at pogopunk, playing in the sand.
"You wanna come?" Luna asked
"Never! Ya baby eater!" Pogo yelled back in a fit of insanity.
Then I might suggest poor pogo suffers from a lot of fits of insanity.
"...I'll take that as a no..." Luna mumbled to herself and grabbed her backpack. Soon she had teleported to the Mr. Saturn vally, and was staring at a coffee-drinking Mr. Saturn.
So, yeah. After pogo made himself unpleasant several times over, Luna finally gave up and ditched him. Well played, pogo.
"AiEeEeEe! YoU sCaRe Mr. SaTuRn, BoInG!" It screamed at her.
"Uh... sorry!"
"PrObLeM, nO! bEaT bIg SpRoUt YoU wIlL?"
This is a very poor effort at Saturnspeak.
"Right.. yeah... Well, I gotta get going! I have a huge plant to burn to tiny crispies!" Luna grinned at the Mr. Saturn, and ran off into the cave.
I have a feeling she won't be alone by the time she gets there.
"HmMmMmMmMm... StRoNg OnE, sHe!" the Mr. Saturn whispered to itself before going back to the coffee it was drinking.
By the way, you might not get the joke if I don't explain it to you: the "coffee" in Saturn Valley is laced with powerful hallucinogenic drugs.


Post #639, by Mog116

"Wait for me!" Mog was right behind Luna, who was about ready to go get the melody.
"Can I come?"

(Luna can answer only.)
Yeah... that didn't last long at all. Mog likely as not won't be the only one to tag along here. I wouldn't even rule out pogopunk scampering back.


Post #640, by pogopunk

pogopunk sat there on the beach, just randomly calling people baby-eaters. he was enjoying himself quite well, and gleefully laughed at other's reaction.
If he actually tried this, he would get his ass kicked inside 15 minutes.
However, one person (anonymous..likes to go up to houses and feed other people's babies, maybe to fatten them up) got angry at him and beat pogopunk up.
Haha! That was awesome. 
unconcious, pogopunk mumbled pants and baby-eater while he was in a coma. when he came to, he had turned maniacal, screaming out baby-eater often, and willing to do anyone's bidding.
Turned?
the real him sat in a secluded corner of his mind, hoping for goodness to set him free...

[note: since i'm not posting, i just hope this will add a twist. anyone can do anything with me, i dont care. eventually i'll be back to normal..after i get a couple laughs outta this ]
I would love to know what the hell he was smoking when he wrote this. I think pogopunk's my new favorite poster, at least in Chris's absence.

Post #641, by Falcon24

Falcon, still in disguise, stomped around the island in a rage. "Unbelievable! There HAS to be a way up there...wherever it is...if only I could find someone to show me where it is!" Suddenly, an unseen force enveloped him. An unfathomable power penetrated his very being.
Amazing how fast an AC gets exactly what he wants, isn't it? 
His mind began to surge, scenes from past, present, and future raced across it. "What..what's this? I can see everything." Falcon saw Darth's group teleporting to Fire Springs. He followed the group, riding the backlash of the teleport to their original destination.
He pulled this trick 200 posts ago to use out of character knowledge in character, and it was just as lame then as it is now.
"The...Giygan Spaceship? Amazing....thank you, Master Lavos. Now lets see, it seems to be...there." Falcon turned and dashed through the underbrush, heading for the Giygan Spaceship. However, he was unaware that it was not Lavos who showed him the location of the Spaceship...
Well, I have to give him credit there: that was a nice end-of-post hook. Though it belongs at the end of a fanfic chapter, not an IF post, seeing as how no other poster can do anything with it.


Post #642, by Mani Mani

Back in Twoson...

The group had decided to rest for a while, before they went to try and confront Lavos.
Hey, no rush, he's only eating the planet and getting stronger. Take a vacation! He'll still be there when you're ready. 
Ness and Paula went off on their own somewhere (much to the annoyance of Matt), and Mani decided to visit Burglin Park. She didn't know what the others decided to do.
Nice middle finger to PP/QC there. Maybe Mani Mani was a different person from Tengu Man, but you will never convince me Tengu wasn't behind that.
When she got to the park, the first thing she did was go to the Fresh Egg stand and buy an egg (she'd gotten a share of the money from the fighting they'd done).
To be honest, most IF posters grasp that no one really cares where you got your money. You're an AC, that you have infinite money is assumed, or if you don't, that you'll happily commit theft and/or armed robbery is assumed. 
While waiting for it to hatch into a cute lil' chick, she wandered around, gazing at the various stands that had before only been fantasy to her. She saw a Runaway Dog, but she didn't know it was an enemy.
One of the funniest things in EarthBound is what happens if you use a Chick: You get the message, "Seeing chicks makes you happy."
"Ohh, it's a doggie with glasses! How cute!...wait a minute--OW! He bit me!" She thwacked it with her staff and it ran off whimpering. She felt more experienced.
If you don't believe her, grab the nearest staff, head out into the neighborhood and try it for yourself. Trust me, when you beat a dog over the head with a staff, you will feel distinctly more experienced. 
"Cool! I won a battle all by myself! Okay, okay, so maybe that wasn't the toughest bad guy..." She went into Everdred's house to see if he was there, but he wasn't. She wasn't sure she wanted to meet him anyway.
Fun fact: Everdred is the only human enemy in EarthBound that tries to bite you. So yeah. Probably for the best she didn't encounter him.
As she came out of the house, she spotted Jeff over by one of the stands, looking at some broken items. Trying to act cool and casual, she walked around behind him to his other side before approaching.
"Hey, Jeff." He looked up.
"Oh, hi Mani."
"Buying anything?" He shrugged.
"Most of the items here are pretty weak." He ignored the "Hey!" from the stand owner.
"Oh. I bought a Fresh Egg - I want to hatch a chick."
"Oh, really? Can I see?"
I have my doubts Jeff would be the slightest bit interested in an egg, or a chick. (And I mean that last word in both conceivable ways. Things were different in 1995, but EarthBound was, for the time, fairly unambiguous about the fact Jeff was gay.)
"Sure." She held it out to him and he took it. After inspecting it for a moment, he nodded.
"It looks good. Here you go." As he handed it back to her, her hand (slightly sweaty from nervousness ) slipped and she started to drop it. Jeff caught it.
In point of fact, this annotator has personally proven that an egg can be thrown across a room and successfully caught without breaking it. 
"Careful!" She tried hard to keep from blushing. As he was gently tipping it into her hand from his, he stopped suddenly, looking at it.
"Hey...it's hatching!" Mani exclaimed. Sure enough, the shell cracked open and out popped an adorable yellow chick - in Jeff and Mani's hands. "Aww...it's so cute." Mani looked at Jeff's hand and giggled a little, since it was still touching hers at a tilt.
"Oh." He picked up the chick with his other hand, withdrawing the first one, and put it in Mani's. "I believe this is yours?" They looked at each other for a moment - and then laughed.

(Yes, I know this is a long post, and yes, I know it's probably totally pointless. But I'm just having a little fun, so nya. :P)
Don't worry, Mani. It fits right in, here in the Gathering! And who knows, maybe Chris will give it a read or two and get to thinking.
