Post #816, by Mog116

Mog jumped up and hit Dark-Mog. Dark-Mog jumped straight at him. Mog was hit by Dark-Mog's Spear. Mog did a quick counter-slash, but missed. Mog's spear drove into the wall. Mog jumped at Dark-Mog and pinned him to the ground. Dark-Mog jumped up, flinging Mog to the ground. Mog quickly got up and punched Dark-Mog in the face, knocking him down. Dark-Mog flew back up. Mog and Dark-Mog threw a punch at each other, and hit each other in the fist. Mog flew forward again, and headbutted Dark-Mog. Dark-Mog flew back, but Mog dashed after him. Mog punched Dark-Mog in the gut, and Dark-Mog hit the ground hard. [Fool... You shall not win!!] Dark-Mog started to laugh, and Mog was blown backwards by some unknown force. [PSI SHEILD]
I think this is the most boring fight sequence I have ever read. Liyoshi's stuff is more annoying, but less boring.
Mog put up a sheild. Dark-Mog flew forward and hit mog, but was blown back by the sheild. Mog jumped at him, and started to pummel him. Dark-Mog jumped out of the punches, and shot an orb of energy at Mog. Mog's sheild reflected the attack. The orb bounced of and blew Mog's spear of the wall. Dark-Mog started to collect energy. Mog tried to use Mimic, but he couldn't. [PSI ULTIMA!!] A blue orb of anergy shot at Mog. Mog dodged, but the orb turned around and chased after him. Mog curved around, then ran straight at the Orb. Before he hit it, he slid under. The Orb paused a moment, then chased after Mog. Mog suddenly had an Idea! He ran after Dark-Mog, who was laughing with his eyes closed. Mog plowed through Dark-Mog, and knocked Dark-Mog over. The Ultima Orb hit Dark-Mog, who suddenly blew up. Dark-Mog disappeared.
No, none of the above was any less boring. You made the right decision to skip it.
There was a flash of light, and all that was left in the room was Mog, his spear, and a glowing rock. [Mog! The Sound Stone has Ten Melodies! The power of Ultima can be unleashed!] Mog's own mind told him. Mog walked at the rock. ZAP! the power of Ultima reached Mog! Mog got the Ultima Spear! Mog's Hp is increased by 123! Mog's Mp increased by 53! Mog's other stats raised by 33! Mog's dream ended!


Mog wa in the Fire Springs. Mog remembered Tim, and started to Pray. Mog began to pray! The sound stone that was charged with all ten melodies was sent to Tim.

(Tim-you can use Ultima, which deals about 8000 damage to all enemies and is unblocksble)
I have a feeling Liyoshi is going to be irritated about this and will quickly pretend it never happened.

(What the... TEN Melodies? I'm only collecting nine! These extra melodies are becoming stupid.)
I hear you, brother. Collecting melodies in the first place was stupid; collecting a ninth was asinine; collecting a tenth is a new depth of idiocy.
Osman, Alan, and Siris needed a way to get to Fire Springs. Siris sensed that there was very little time left. Suddenly, Siris had an idea. He started chanting again, but at the end of the spell he yelled:

"QUAKE!"

A huge rift opened beneath them, and they fell. They landed on the top of a massive, beautiful tree.
Ouch. That tree would be driven through their assholes and right out their mouths.
All around them were peaceful dinosaur heads, munching on leaves in unison. In the distance, the group could see little Tenda evacuation areas. They were in Lost Underworld.
The hell of it is, I can't decide whether they're following Juliana around, or Chris.

(AAH! I forgot about the 1 AC rule! I didn't even know you had one. Oh well. I can fix this...)
Would you mind? Thanks. See, this is how you're supposed to react when a moderator says no.
"Nall... you should go back," Chris said, s they wondered around.

"But.. why?" Nall asked, confused.

"Because things will get a bit dangerous from now on. And you may not get lucky like you did against those Guardian Diggers..."

"I see. Bye, Chris!" And with that, Nall flew back to Chris' home.
Well, I'm glad he was such a good sport about it. Killing him off would be more fun, though.
(Well, that fixes that. Sorry, PSI. Back to the story)

********

As he wandered around, Chris began to recognise the place he was in as Scaraba. Besides the obvious fact that there was sand all around him, he could see a spinx in the distance, and around 30 yards northeast was Dungeon Man, formerly known as Brickroad.
Spinx was the guy that got knocked out in like 15 seconds by Mike Tyson, right?
"If I stay out here any longer, I might dehydrate.
Actually, if you stay anywhere and are not drinking water, you will dehydrate. It's just a question of how fast.
I'll go inside Dungeon Man," Chris told himself. "Getting the melodies, and getting my stuff back from Poo will have to wait for a tiny bit."
Wait, didn't Chris already do this? I seem to recall him needing weapons, yet somehow being able to cut down the palm trees.
Oh. Right. I keep forgetting.
As he went in, he immediately encountered a Mystical Record, Scalding Cup of Coffee, and Worthless Protoplasm.
He jumped back to avoid getting splashed by the coffee, and swung the Sword of Kings in a wide arc, defeating all of them in one blow.
Actually, the scalding espresso attack is just PSI Fire alpha in disguise, and is unavoidable. You know, for non-ACs.
He then walked to the Good-night Bench, and took a nap.
Good call. It sucks to die tired.



Post #819, by Little Yoshi

"Wow, Mog gave me alot!" Tim exclaimed.
To whom, exactly?
Evil Mani Mani sent out dark waves of energy!
Tim was stunned!
Tim was able to move!
What did Evil Mani-Mani do during the interim? Stand in front of a mirror and work on his evil speeches?
Evil Mani Mani emmited a golden light!
Tim started crying!

You'll also notice how Liyoshi is acquiescing to Tengu Man's demand about what to call Evil Mani-Mani without a peep in protest. (If you've been paying attention, you know that I was calling the statue "Evil Mani-Mani" long before Tengu brought it up, because that is in fact its proper name. Although oddly, outside of battle it is usually called Mani Mani, no hyphen, but in battle its name is Evil Mani-Mani, with the hyphen.)
"PSI Yoshi Alpha!" Tim shouted.
"OWW!" Evil Mani Mani replied to the attack.
"Gheesh, if Alpha does that much, I wonder what Omega will do-hey, what's this?" Tim said, picking up Mog's Sound Stone. "COOL! Ultima!" Tim exclaimed, seeing his new present.
OK, lip service, but let's see if he actually does anything notable with it.




Post #820, by Traceh
Hey, a Traceh sighting! And you thought she was gone forever. Her last post was #406, more than 400 posts ago, and she was climbing into the Talah Rama Monkey Cave in the desert. You'll notice that was boring, so she changed her mind in the interim.
Tracy glanced out the window, looking down on the beach from the 3rd story of the hotel.
I think that also makes her the first person in about 500 posts to stay at the hotel for longer than five minutes. Remember the hotel? Barely? Yeah, I know. Weren't those the days.
Bonus points if you've been paying attention to recent posts and can already guess why Tracy has suddenly appeared at the hotel.
She had come back after a few hours of exploring, being more of an indoor person. Hardly anyone had come back from their adventures so she just hung there, kickin it at the hotel and eating once a day at that stelar buffet.
She means "stellar," which is one of her favorite adjectives even if she can't spell it. And while we're here: there really is nothing quite like a really good buffet.
Still looking out the window, Tracy spotted someone walking from the entrance of the hotel, threw on a pair of jeans and a cute old navy shirt and was out the door.

Running out the main entrance Tracy jogged down the sandy hill towards the figure (who looked like he wasnt sure where he was going). At the last second she recognized him.

"Guru! Hey, Guruzeth!
Funny story... or at least it's funny now. PSI322 was annoyed that Traceh went out of her way to describe Tracy's Old Navy shirt as "cute"; that, said PSI322, definitely was meant to be flirtatious. My perspective was: wait, what? She's a girl, girls are always calling their clothing cute, you're overreacting. We kind of agreed not to talk about it after a couple minutes. Looking back... well, I still think she was overreacting. But maybe she had a very slight point, I don't know. At that early stage in history PSI322 and guruzeth were still kind of unofficial, and against all logic guruzeth was semi-popular with the ladies. Nowhere near to the extent PSI322 was popular with the boys, but you know.
On the other hand, I was never, not for a second, the slightest bit jealous of Chris. I mean, he was Chris. He was the least threatening thing imaginable.
Where are you going? I have been waiting for days for someone to come back to the hotel. Do you mind if I tag along for a bit?"

Panting and out of breath Tracy waited to see if Guru heard her or even noticed.
So guruzeth's play for companionship worked out beautifully; he got a good poster to join him in plotline hijinks. And a female one at that, making guruzeth the second person (after waffle; remember Luna and waffle?) to actually get a certified girl to follow him around. Hopefully he plays it better than waffle has. And you'll notice guruzeth accomplished that the same way waffle did: by going out and writing his own stuff without begging for attention. You want noticed, don't be seen crying. Be seen doing stuff.

Nearly all of Traceh's posts are edited, because she was self-conscious about her spelling and would go back and fix whatever errors she could find. She was poor at spelling, but despite that she was one of the best writers in the Gathering, as we will see.
