Post #741, by t0nberry22

(Ok, I deleted all my posts, and I'm gonna act now like I just joined, so please edit your posts if I'm in them. Ok Desu Ka?)
Makes me curious just how many posts he made that got deleted later. Three? Six? Ten?
High above Onett, a black hole of some kind appeared. A small green figure wearing a grey robe and holding a lantern and a Knife fell out.
It was Ton.
Just once I want to see someone say, "It was William Shatner."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!"
[Crash, Bang, Crack, Boom, Snap]
"Ow, Eee, Ouch, Oof, Yow..."
Luckily for Ton, the tree he landed in broke his fall.
We already went over this, but it would be more likely to break his spine. Twenty times over.
Unluckily for him, it had also caught him by the robe and he was now dangling from a branch.
"Well, this looks like the place! Now to find some other people to see what I missed..." Ton struggled to get off the branch, but to no avail.
"Help..."
It's pretty easy to spot a bad and/or inexperienced IF writer by the way he'll immediately write his AC into a trouble spot and then cry for help (meaning "attention").

"I can't believe this!!" Tim shouted.
"It...can't be!"
"NNNOOOOOOOO!!"
Tim saw Ness's face in his, the face of the Devil's Machine.
"How...?"
"Do you think that Giygas could be defeted so easily?" "Fool!"
"?"
"I posses some of it's entity inside this body," Mani Mani replied.
I'm going to refrain from yet again saying "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard," because he's just going to top it again within another post or two.
Mani Mani used Special Omega!
Mani Mani used Special Omega!
Mani Mani used Special Omega!
Mani Mani used Special Omega!
Just call it Rockin. "Special" doesn't even fit into the six character limit.
Mani Mani used Starstorm Omega!
"Thank goodness for rolling HP!" Tim said, quickly using Lifeup Gamma.
Mani Mani repeats attack pattern 1!
(which is 3 Special Omegas, and 2 Starstorm Omegas)
I think from here on I'm going to pretty much stop annotating Liyoshi posts until something happens in one.

Yes, this is another Liyoshi hops off the computer, Chris hops on special. Wow, suddenly Chris is interested in the Gathering again! I wonder why?
The sight that Juliana and Chris saw was more breathtaking than anything they had seen.
You mean the sight of--
Chris had been impressed upon seeing Saturn Valley's impressive canyons, and the Pyramids of Scaraba, and the beautiful moonlight reflecting off of Lake Tess. But this was beyond his wildest dreams. What he beheld was so incredible that he could only stare in awe.
Yeah, he definitely means--
All around him, trees a hundred feet high seemed to reach into the sky. Incredible mountains rose and fell all around, and emerging from and over the top of them were magnificent waterfalls. Indeed, above it all, was the sky. Except, instead of clouds or stars, Chris saw magnificent pillars of rock, intermixed with sparkling gems.
--oh. I guess not. But he's thinking it.
But what truly stunned him was the more mobile objects. The dinosaurs down here were incredible, some standing as tall as the trees, and looking across the land with a vague sense of curiosity. They slowly roamed amongst the land, occasionally munching on a tree or licking from one of the lakes formed by the waterfalls.
There are in reality no waterfalls in the Lost Underworld, just a couple geysers.
One Chompasaur passed so close that Chris couldn't even see the top of it when he looked up.

Finally, in a hushed, reverent tone, Juliana broke their silence: "I've never seen anything more incredible in my life."

"Nor have I. This is more beautiful than anything I've ever seen." Chris replied.
He's really writing the crap out of this scene to pour on the romantic atmosphere. You have to give him points for his writing effort, at least.
Slowly, the two of them walked together through the incredible world that was the Lost Underworld.
See if you can spot which word in this sentence is Chris's favorite in the English language right now.

Ton was still waiting for someone to get him out of the tree. A few people passed by but took no notice.
"Man, I wish someone would get me out of this tree. I can't feel my tail anymore!"
Kid, no one but Big Brother Lovestruck and Little Brother Look At Me has even posted since your last post, but the sooner you realize no one cares about you and get on with doing something, the more enlightened you will be.



Post #745, by PSIOsman

It was night outside...
"Next stop, Fourside, to get Magnet Hill," said Osman.
Some people are just incapable of coming up with plot content on their own, and spend the entire thread following around the content generators. It's the natural order of things in IF.
"So we can, like, get Magnet Hill?"

"Yes."

"Hmmm... How do we get there?" Asked Siris.

Osman remembered the power of the Scimitar and wondered if it would work. closed his eyes and thought about Fourside. He formulated a picture in his mind of it. Although he had never seen it in real life, Fourside was his favorite town. He concentrated into the Scimitar. Suddenly, the reality around them started to bend and distort. It looked as if the air was rippling. It became so distorted that they could not be seen, and when it returned to normal they were gone.
It is a lot cooler than anything Liyoshi has done in this thread, you have to admit.
Osman,Alan, and Siris reappeared... right on the edge of the helicopter pad on top of the Monotoli Building.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" They all yelled. They backed away from the edge of the platform. Then, they looked down.

Osman looked at the cars passing below him. He looked over and saw the Dinosaur Museum. He looked past that and saw what he was looking for... Magnet Hill, its radiant power still shining like a beacon at night.
Magnets don't really shine, but I guess Sanctuary power might. But if that were so awesome, you'd wonder why the millions of residents of a mega-city would allow an eight foot wooden fence to stop them from sampling that for themselves. So we must assume there is nothing obviously special about Magnet Hill at all, because no one except that weird peeping tom kid has ever bothered to take notice of what, to all outward appearances, is just somebody's junk-strewn back yard.
They went inside the Monotoli Building. Not surprisingly, no one was in Old Man Monotoli's office since it was nighttime. they went into the elevator and went down.
I wonder what became of poor old Enrich Flavor? Nobody ever remembers that guy.
When they stepped outside, they looked at the fantastic city. The tall buildings, lit brightly, seemed to stretch up for miles into the clear, pollution-free night sky.
I would love to hear how a city of Fourside's magnitude came to be pollution-free.
They walked into the empty street. They heard a swooshing noise behind them, then a thud...
They turned slowly. A monstrous... thing stood before them! It was standing upright. It had a furry body and dinosaur-like legs. It had huge claws, and a nightmarish face that had a maw filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth. It laughed, a freakish scream that echoed into the night air of the city.

"I must stop you now!" It roared. "My master Lavos commands it!"

The beast charged.
That's just like Lavos, never lifting a finger to do any of the dirty work himself.
