Back at the hotel, Osman, Alan, and Siris found the place deserted.
Remember Alan? AKA SaturnAl. He vanished yet again. I find myself hoping PSIOsman attempts to ditch him again, so he can immediately reappear. SaturnAl is boring and has no original ideas, but let's give him a lot of credit for knowing it and refraining from posting."Not again! What is this carp? We're always missing everything!" Osman yelled. He started kicking things.
"Calm down, dude..." said Alan.
"Maybe we should go to Summers? We don't need the others to have a vacation!"
That's an important insight PSIOsman is having there. You'll also notice that there is still disagreement as to where exactly "the hotel" (meaning the place where it all began) is located. It was clearly not in Summers; PSI322 named the place 'Eagleland Island'. team guruzeth declared it was in Summers, erroneously. PSIOsman is holding the line and asserting it's not. Good for him."Oh yeah, the vacation. Now that we beat the Randite..." (Ultra-freaky organ music plays) "What was that?" Asked Alan."
"So, do we go to Summers or what?" Asked Osman.
"I guess..."
These posts show the flavor of IF at that time, when it was normal for people who didn't really want to post any new content to post a couple paragraphs of fluff anyway, just so as not to be forgotten. And honestly I had started to forget about Team PSIOsman. PSIOsman was really the only active member and he hadn't posted for a while.

(Pikachu, I have a way to beat at least one of Lavos's second form, but I'll only use it IF YOU GUYS QUIT IGNORING ME!!!!!! I mean, c'mon, you if you don't wanna help me fight Dark Ton, fine. But at least respond to my posts!!!!)
You know, it wasn't that long ago that I was a teenager, and I can remember that I used to irrationally blow up like this anyway. The fact should be obvious that this post is going to accomplish exactly the opposite of what he wants; people are going to be more inclined to ignore him, because he's pissing them off.Speaking of which, I don't reckon it will be very long before somebody screams at him for suggesting he can kill Lavos.

(ok, let me just say something. NONE of the AC's can kill Lavos. Tengu stated that quite some time ago that only the chosen four(if you don't know who they are, shame on you) can defeat Lavos. just go after the Randites or something, like he suggested.)
Ha! Called it.
It is bizarre that Falcon24 is behaving like a Tenguling. But rest assured he has his purposes.
But you know what's changed since the last round of fighting over Lavos as an AC? guruzeth is here now.
Post #1044, by guruzeth
Ha! Called it again.(I'm taking it Lavos is Tengu's one AC, or else he wouldn't have any authority at all to make such rules.)
Did you see that? That right there, my friends, is how you lay the smack down. Boom. I hereby forgive guruzeth for about half of how annoying he was during the Great Pyramid Excursion, just for how awesome that was."Something wrong, guru?" Tracy asked as they made their way to the restaurant.
"That manager..." said guruzeth, "he seems so familiar. diospadre..?"
"diospadre?" said Juliana. "THE diospadre? The guy who does stuff?"
No, Juliana, not the guy who does stuff. That's spaanoft.
I have no clue how guruzeth could possibly have mixed that up."Yeah, I think it was..." said guru. He shook his head hard. "Anyway, I'm famished. Let's go eat." At this point, they were at the restaurant.
"Table for five," said Chris, and they were almost immediately shown to their table. It was right next to the window, and had a lovely view of the gentle and brillant sea.
It's just my own personal taste, but I prefer short descriptions based on a few adjectives to three paragraphs."Wow, this place is expensive," Poo observed as they looked at the menus. "Braised Boa over minced baby leeks..?" the whole group winced.
"How bout just a chicken sandwich or something," said guru, looking in dismay at the menu.
I was not a gourmet then, and I am not a gourmet now. Now that I'm considerably richer I prefer steaks to chicken sandwiches, but that's about it.Juliana and Chris, who understood French, were poring over the choices. guru, who just might be the only one at the table who didn't know French, just glanced at them and then at the menu.
True story: I studied Spanish in high school, but upon commencing college a few months after this was written, I switched to French, even though it meant three semesters of foreign language rather than two. I did this for two reasons: (1) I hated Spanish in high school, but more importantly (2) it made PSI322 happy, as she was a big fan of the French language."Phish food!" cried Tracy. "I'll take that! Go with the good stuff!" The waiter came by, and they placed their orders; guru just guessed something that didnt' look like it would include cheese, and hoped for the best.
The deliciousness of Phish Food was a running joke between guruzeth and Traceh. And there is a very good reason why I don't like cheese: it tastes very bad."It's so great to be able to just relax and have fun for once," Juliana was saying...
See, this is bad. guruzeth is emphasizing that he doesn't want drawn into violence, yet the way he ended the post makes the most natural response "...when a Lavos Spawn crashed through the window."------------------

guruzeth should have banned himself for putting his signature on an IF post. Or maybe Chris should have banned him; that would have been entertaining. It's a good quote, but guruzeth just demonstrates what an egomaniac he was.

((I'd like to say a thing about Lavos - Tengu said that only Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo can defeat Lavos. Unfortuneatly, Mani and Tengu, the people who are with 3 of the chosen four, have not posted in quite a while, unless I'm mistaken. Now, if the person in charge of them isn't gonna post, how are we going to defeat Lavos? I really want this to be a vacation IF, where everyone is on vacation, not worrying about a spiky thingy draining Earth of it's energy. So, unless Tengu and Mani make a post, I'm going to assume that we can defeat Lavos without them.))
3164, you really should just leave the Falcon-smacking to the grownups. You rambled for a paragraph and succeeded only in making yourself appear whiny and clueless. guruzeth very effectively hamstrung Tengu Man and Falcon24's attempted control of Lavos with one sentence.**********
Anyways, Pikachu and his friends travelled to Winters. There, they entered Pond Cave.
Pikachu and his friends encountered Shroom! For some reason, Shroom! let Pikachu and co. into Rainy Circle!
I've said it before, but damn it, people keep doing it wrong: there are three o's in Shrooom!. I do like, however, that Shrooom! is the one Sanctuary Boss smart enough to get killed a few times and then say "screw this, they don't pay me enough for this" and retire from Sanctuary-guarding.Pikachu absorbed the power of Rainy Circle!
All of a sudden, Pikachu, who had gotten each of the ten melodies, became aware of the powers of Earth.
The Apple of Enlightment appeared to Pikachu. "Pikachu, you have gifted with the powers of the Earth. Using these powers, you must go and defeat Lavos. I mean, I need a vacation too! HURRY UP!"
[Okay.]
Pikachu and co. jumped onto the Yoshi, and went at high speeds towards Fourside!
Pikachu let out a telepathic cry to let Ton know they were coming to help. Ton, we're coming to help you!
Damn it, 3164. Right up until that last post I was cackling with glee, thinking that you were responding to t0nberry's bitching by ignoring it. You were that close to doing something bona fide awesome.[This message has been edited by Pikachu3164 (edited 05-17-2000).]
I would make fun of this post, but the fact is it saved this entire five-post batch from being a batch in which nothing happened. In review: PSIOsman decided to go to Summers; team guruzeth sat down in the Restaurant du Summers but has not yet actually ordered anything; 3164 collected the last melody and talked to the Apple of Enlightenment; and in between t0nberry22 and Falcon24 did some bitching. Pretty underwhelming, that.
