Tim had lost 2/5 of his Max HP by now, and was getting worn out.By the way, I forgot to mention this last time: the pace of posting has dramatically slowed the last two calendar days. Now we're only getting ten posts a day or so; for a while back at and immediately after party time, we were getting ten posts in two or three hours. I think this accurately reflects the fact that the thread has mostly gotten boring and tired, the novelty has worn off, and so people are devoting less time to keeping up with it.The time of 40 posts a day is over, but in a bit things will pick back up a little. We still have 1,000 posts to go and about six calendar weeks to get through them, which works out to roughly 20 posts a day.
Liyoshi, the rest of us are also getting worn out. Want to guess why?[Luna, Pogopunk, I need Lilliput Steps!]
God, now he's talking in 3164speak.[Nathan, Luna gave you part of her Sound Stone, right? If you have Lilliput Steps, I need it-argghhhhhh!]
Mani Mani got bored of this suffering for Tim, and decided to bonk him on the head with the flat of his sword.
That's the same thing the monks that carried out the Inquisitions would do when they got tired of their victims' suffering. Just bonk 'em on the head with the flat of your sword. If that doesn't get 'em to recant their heretical beliefs, nothing will!He was attempting to stop Tim from sending psychic calls as well.
Why? No one's listening to them anyway.

Nathan finds a small piece of rock on the ground. It appears to be part of Luna's sound stone. He thinks, "I'd better send this to Tim, too." He presses a button and it diappears.
Yeah. S--- like this is why people aren't posting on the Gathering that much anymore. I'll be interested to see what event actually rekindles interest in this just-about-dead thread.His computer then begins to beep. He looks at the screen and sees, "Transfer distrupted." He thinks, "Oh uh, I didn't know this transfer could be distrupted. It would be easier to rewrite the laws of gravity than to change the laws of hypersting funtion this thing uses to transport. I wonder where it ended up?"
Hypersting function is something killer bees do when they get really pissed off. I think.After pressing a couple keys, Nathan determines that at least part of the sound stone got through to Tim. But was it the right part, and what happened to the rest? Nathan decides to set out tracking down that peice of the sound stone.
(BTW, thats not just technoblable. You could transport using hyperstrings.)
In point of actual fact, you are talking out of your ass and betting your fellow 13 year olds won't challenge you on it.[This message has been edited by Dr. Andonuts (edited 04-27-2000).]

Charging towards the demon with amazing speed, all Falcon could think about was reclaiming his mind.
He lunged at the creature with incredible ferocity, the battle blades digging deep into its side.First we had PSI322's incredible strength. Now Falcon24's amazing speed. We can only assume Tengu Man's unbelievable intelligence is next.
But wait until you see guruzeth's amazing arrogance.
Also, I didn't realize these were digging battle blades. Must be annoying as hell trying to pull them out while they're digging.He began to furiously hack at the beast. "Get out of my head!!!" Suddenly, he noticed a large claw coming his way, and with a *SMACK* he went sailing backwards.
ACs fly through the air a lot when they get hit by bad guys. It's the Rule of Cool.The Lavos creature began to advance on him, waving its claws this way and that. "This...is MY mind! You can't have it!"
I can't fathom why this alien creature would want it. Clearly it is insane.Falcon raised his hands and a barrage of energy rained down from the ethereal sky, battering the evil apparition.
I was about to make fun of Falcon24 for calling the sky "ethereal", but then I remembered this is all inside Falcon24's brain, so he's allowed to describe the sky however he wants.However, it wasn't enough. Although the creature was wounded, it still had control of a large portion of Falcon's brain. A searing pain went through Falcon's mind.
I'm going to need to do some reading before I get proficient at grasping the difference between one's brain and one's mind. To my untrained senses, it seems like we're flipping between those words at random.In the real world, his body could be seen to jerk spasmodically. Within the realm of his mind, however, Falcon attempted again to thrash the demon. This time, the creature was ready. Just as Falcon prepared to gut it with the battle blades, a claw lunged forth and grabbed Falcon by the throat. The battle blades dropped from Falcon's hands, clattering on the ground.
Since they're made of energy or whatever, can't he just generate a couple more?Lavos raised him high into the air, the eerie silence of the landscape was shattered by a malevolent laugh.
We keep going back and forth on whether this is a Lavos-thing or Lavos-creature or actually Lavos we're fighting. I'm so confused.[This message has been edited by Falcon24 (edited 04-27-2000).]
Lately we've been having a lot of posts edited after the fact. Hopefully we'll soon find out why, and hopefully it will be entertaining.

"Ohhh!" I said. "I'm going to go into Magnificant or whatever it's called..."
Said it a few times already, but: never played EarthBound.I took a mysterious Pill and fell to the ground Limp. Matt tried to grab me and shook me awake. However, I was far away...
I'm pretty sure drug use in IF threads is prohibited. But it's OK since none of the moderators are reading any of this.
The sad thing is I don't even mind that PP/QC has returned. I'll take pretty much any break from the boring Lavos crap right now.

Mog and waffy came running up as Poo had Luna down on her knees.
Hahaha. Speaking of things that are prohibited on the IF board. Wow.
"Ugh, I don't have to deal with you two too," muttered Poo."Ah ha! I have a better idea." Poo reached into his pocket and pulled out two gallons of Miracle Gro. Poo ran up towards Trillionage Sprout and poured the two gallons on him. This not only caused Trillionage to grow gigantic, but made him split into three as well. Now there was Trillionage Sprout, Billionage Sprout, and Millionage Sprout. "Have fun!" Poo yelled as he ran to the Milky Well Sanctuary and claimed it with his Sound Stone replica. Then, as quick as lightning, and even quicker, Poo dashed out of the cave with waffy, Luna, and Mog left to deal with the three new Sprouts. After exiting the Milky Well caves, Poo hopped into the Skyrunner II and headed for Fourside once again. He had an idea.
True words. I tried to warn them. 'Course, they don't have to deal with you either, as we just recently established.
You know, I like EBPoo's style. He easily wins the Creativity Award and no one else is even in second place. This thread would be fun if everyone wrote off-the-wall (but story-relevant) stuff like this.
