Post #1081, by Traceh


"Um....uh...lessee...I think.....," stuttered Tracy, indecisive as usual. She scanned the menu once more, the others at the table starting to get rather impatient. "Heh, sorry guys!" she said with a shrug. "I guess I'll have the veggie burger, I need something healthy."
"Okay, now on with the show!" cried Poo. Juliana flashed him a look. "Really though, should it take that long to order?" He smiled slyly, showing he was only trying to lighten the mood. They began to chatter once more.

"Well, what do you think?" asked Chris. "What do we do now? It's such a big island, where do we start?"

Tracy turned to guruzeth. "Ya know, before you came to the island I was thinking about going to that ammusement park. Mabye it wasnt finished then...but do you think it is now? That would be so stellar. And besides, there are more of us then there was before, it would be even funner. Didnt you and Chris go there, Juliana?"
Credit to Traceh for suggesting something new to do, even if she's going to wait for someone else to follow through with it.
guru narowed his eyes. "Yeah that does sound kinda fun. If noone is scared of roller coasters. How about it?"
guruzeth was scared of roller coasters, or anyway refused to ride them because even a very mild roller coaster made him sick. That's the joke.
Just then the food arived. Trays and trays of it and they all dug in, hungry from a hard day's work at the beach.
I don't know, is this really any better than what Liyoshi does? They both get filed in the "nothing happens for decades" folder, at least. If team guruzeth's goal is to draw people away from endless combat and toward partying, this isn't really going to be persuasive.

Haha. Dear ol' Traceh and her spelling self-consciousness.

(I just want to tell you guys that everything you've done w/ my AC so far is fine with me)
In fact it has been some time since he last posted. Not that he really missed anything; they were fighting Lavos back at his last post and they're fighting Lavos now.
Nathan suddenly grabed Jeff's Gaia beam, and pulled an E-Web blaster out of the air. He wired together Jeff's Gaia, his own Gaia Beam and the E-Web blaster and haned it back to Jeff, saying "Try that on Lavos."
Jeff said, "But what will you attack Lavos with?"
Nathan pulled a little round ball out of his pocket and said, "This."
Tim asked, "Whats that?"
Jeff replied, "Its a foucesed EMP genande."
Paula said, "In English, please."
Don't you love how Lavos (and, one presumes, the rest of the combatants) politely waits while these guys talk out their strategy? Lavos is a more honorable warrior than we gave him credit for.
Nathan said, "Basicly, it knocks out electroics for a little while. If i use this right before we do a massive attack on Lavos, we should be able to do a lot of damage to him."
Jeff contined, "...Or it could misfire and do nothing."
Nathan said, "Ummm, yeah." Nathan threw the EMP grenade at the robitic Lavos and pulled type 3 phaser out of his pocket.
(somebody else gets to say what happens w/ the grenade.)
By the way, where did the notion that Lavos's second form is a robot come from, anyway? It always looked alien but basically organic to me. Never before I read the Gathering did it occur to me to think of it as a mech.

Meanwhile, Kiyo was asleep and inside his magicant arguing with Randite.
"FOOLS! Even if Lavos is destroyed, I will rule all! MWHAAHAHAH-"
"Not so fast, the people of this island are fighters. Ton, Pikachu, Tim, Nathan, Sir, Anthadd, all the rest. 
True fact, as far as I can remember: of the entire Gathering cast, Traceh and guruzeth are the only characters that to date have engaged in no combat at all. If I'm wrong about this point it out, but I don't think I am. Even during their Pyramid excursion, whenever confronted with Great Crested Bookas or walking heiroglyphs or whatever, they always chose to bravely turn their tails and flee.
These people have gaia beams, they have swoards, they have psi;
They have melodies"
This reminds me of Stalin declaring, "Our resources are great. We have troops, tanks, guns, planes, and mighty vessels of war." He's probably paraphrasing some movie quote or another that I'm unaware of.
"Yes, but these people are your friends, as long as I am in your body, they would never harm me!"
"But I can still stop you! If I could move..."
just then the apple of enlightenment spoke from the sky of magicant.
"beware, thy judgment day cometh. The final battle agianst Lavos has begun.
"What? I'm outta here!"
Well, that is a reasonable response to the AoE's statement.
with that Kiyo left magicant only to remember he was paralyzed. 
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP! ANYBODY!"
Here's hoping the first responder to the loid signal is Major Asshole.

Post #1084, by PSI322

After finishing their meal, the group departed from the restaurant. After spending the better part of the day working on their sand castle, they were feeling somewhat tired, and the thought of the amusement park only made them feel more fatigued. Besides, it was too late to do much of anything right now; the early evening had settled upon the city of Summers, and while it looked quite beautiful to behold, it was getting dark fast. Tracy, guruzeth, Chris, Poo, and Juliana pondered what to do at the moment.
"I say we go back to the hotel for tonight and leave first thing in the morning," Juliana suggested. "We'll have a long journey to the amusement park, anyway."

Chris nodded. "That's right. Keep in mind that we're in Summers, which means we're in the island's interior. The park is back on the coast, near the Eagleland Island Hotel."
Finally the inventor of Eagleland Island speaks up to, subtly, say "hey, that stuff about this whole world is EarthBound? Yeah, that's pretty stupid and it wasn't what I wanted at all." It's far too late to take it back now, of course. 
However, I can't understand how Summers, notable because it's on the coast, could possibly be on the "interior" of the island. Can you?
"How about we spend the night here, like Juliana suggested, and plan on meeting in the lobby tomorrow morning, so the five of us can set off together?" guruzeth said.

"Sounds like a plan," Juliana and Chris said, almost at the exact same time. The five of them laughed and started to walk off towards the hotel.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why PSI322 emerged from a lengthy silence to post a few paragraphs of her team doing.... absolutely nothing. More than that, in fact; she had the team decide not only to do nothing now, but to continue doing nothing for a while. Maybe she was concerned they'd get sucked into the Great Lavos Stupidity if they attempted to go anywhere or do anything, I don't know.

(I have a way to escape. It involves my extremely defective teleport device, Black Portal, and the Disruptor. Plus, there are other things on this island to fight, like the Randites. And I didn't say it would destroy Lavos Form 2. Well, OK, maybe I did. Anyway, I could say it didn't COMPLETELY destroy Lavos, or we could use our Super attacks simultaneously. Whatdayasay, Pikachu?)
This is him backing off the Idea of Stupidity after 3164's small hissy fit.
(Oh, and I'll tell you what it is when I'm ready to use it. Ok desu ka?)
It's so cute that he thinks anyone would give a damn what his brilliant teleport device is.
