Post #791, by Mog116

Neither Mog nor Pika ever saw anyone. They reached Magnet hill and succesfully got that one. Then they realized they forgot one and went back to Milky well. Mog's sound stone easily absorbed that one, so the pair headed for Pink Cloud.
Why is he making us read this? I feel like he should just go all the way with it and tell us, sentence by sentence, that they got each Sanctuary melody in turn.
Mog's sound stone absorbed the power of Pink Cloud! Pika started to Glow! Mog started to Glow! Mog and Pikachu combined to become PIKUPO! The half-moogle-half-pikachu-all-friendly-pshycic-white-mage!!!!! Pika went back to his home world, only to appear in another IF! Mog stayed as Pikupo!! Pikupo went to get the last two Melodies so that everyone could combine their nine-melody sound stones so that Lavos can easily be destroyed and the play/world will be saved!
So, I guess that's his clever response to PSI322's ruling. I'm not sure what odds to offer on whether he stays "Pikupo" for the remainder of the Gathering, except that "God, I hope not" is off the board.

"Geez, I'm in way over my head here," Poo said.
I was really hoping that line would be followed by him surfacing from wherever he was swimming.
"ROAR!" roared the gigantic Electro Specter. Poo quickly maneuvered around and heard some noises. "Who's there?" asked Poo. Thinking nothing of it, Poo ran around some more. Then he was sure he heard noises. "Huh? HEY! Who's down there?" yelled Poo.

"It's me, Anth," Anthadd said.
I'm pretty sure Anthadd would never, ever refer to himself as Anth.
"Oh, hi Anth, no time to talk. Gotta battle huge Electro Specter." Poo ran forward and attempted to tackle the robot. No such luck. Poo reflected off the robot's stomach and into Lumine Hall. "Wow! Cool! I made it!" yelled Poo with excitement.
LOL. As far as saying "no" to some other writer's contrived attempt to obstruct you, that was pretty awesome.




Post #793, by TsuramiSea

"FALCON.... PUNCH!" A computer playing with heavy damage percentage went cutting through the air, and the familiar burst of light and exploding sound was heard.

"Guuuuuuhhh," muttered TsuramiSea. He and pogopunk were already well into their third 99-stock life multiplayer battle. TsuramiSea thought he was overdoing it. He asked pogopunk if he thought they should stop, but only got "BABY-EATER!"
I guess Tsurami's just going to run with that amusing theme for as long as pogopunk remains absent. I, for one, approve.
The hiss of the snowy screen was plainly heard on the silent island. "No more of that." TsuramiSea felt something in the back of his mind. He felt uneasy. Someone... was in danger? Who? What was that name? It was calling him. Tim? Who was it? TsuramiSea didn't know Tim, but felt he had to do something, but didn't know what he should do. Somehow, he felt that he should pray. "pogopunk... pray for someone named Tim!"

"BABY-EATER!" came out. But somewhere in pogopunk's subconscious, the sane part of his mind heard, and fell into prayer.

*****m*Se* began to pray for Tim.
*o*o*un* began to pray for Tim.
I have to admit, I'm stunned by how many people are paying attention to Tim here. It's mostly appalling because it means they're reading his posts, which are straining my willingness to read everything in every post of the Gathering farther than it's been strained before.
TsuramiSea sighed. "Don't know if that'll do anything...." Tsurami didn't understand how he had received the message. He wasn't psychic.
Sure he was.
Maybe, however, it didn't matter if someone else was psychic and could send messages. Tsurami suddenly wondered at the trouble his fellow SM.Netters were in. He only had met three of them, and didn't know them personally very well yet. But he felt like he was responsible for their safety.
What are you, their mom?
He had always dreamed of little adventures, but now that he was in real life, would he stand up and be brave? Of course!
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
He wouldn't let his fear of violent creatures and people get in the way! He wouldn't worry about his great physical weakness! He wouldn't cry over the fact that he had no magic, that'd he'd like to have in a situation like this, OR PSI.... Tsurami stopped thinking in this direction, it certainly didn't help his courage.

TsuramiSea stood up quickly. "pogopunk! Our SM.Net friends.... they're in trouble! We have to help them!" He assumed that because pogopunk had done everything he had asked up to this point, that he'd do this too.

pogopunk nodded and said, "BABY-EATER!"
You have to tease out what pogopunk means by his inflection and emphasis when he screams "BABY-EATER!"
TsuramiSea smiled. "Thanks, pogopunk! Go for a minute to get any equipment you need, then come back here!" pogopunk rushed off, and Tsurami filled his backpack with food, extra clothes, and equipment. TsuramiSea held his mallet, and gave practice swings. He and pogopunk met back at the N64. "Okay pogopunk! Let's go!" Tsurami could hear that music from Chrono Trigger playing in the back of his mind (you know, the music when they've decided to try to save the future and are racing back to Doan, or when they've just had their conversation with Melchior after beating Giga Gaia).
Yes, that track is awesome. It is Chrono Trigger's theme music, and it is in fact imaginatively titled "Chrono Trigger". I recently ranked it #12 on my list of my favorite video game music.
"BABY-EATER!" shouted pogopunk, and they ran off into the center of the island, not sure where they were going (well, Tsurami anyway, and he's leading).

(Sorry if this isn't what you wanted, pogopunk. But I thought that I could find a way to cure you, now that I've had my fun. So I'll probably stumble upon something to do that. Although I can do some more fun stuff along the way, hehe. Besides, I have a friend out here that I have to meet....)
I don't know why the Tengulings were so fond of explaining their plot plans in advance in parentheses at the end of their posts. But they were.




Post #794, by Mani Mani

Darth returned to the group that was fighting Lavos.
"Where have you been?" asked Mani.
"Oh, just...finding out things..." Mani shrugged, and was about to do another attack when she felt peculiar again.
Is this another psychic vision or something? Ugh... Then she felt that someone was in trouble...but it wasn't anyone she knew. Remembering the praying during the Giygas battle in Earthbound, she decided it might apply here as well, and dropped to the back of the group. She then prayed with all her might, for the person she didn't know that was Tim...
I have no idea either. I guess people just thought it would be cool, and that kind of thing always snowballs.




Post #795, by Pikachu3164

The shadow ran up to Pikachu and yelled "I'm shy!"
[Great. I was hoping it was Meowth. Oh well. Hey, if your shy, why are you talking to me?]
"Cuz I'm not really shy and I just wanted to say hi. Want some tea?"
Haha, that was almost like a `Frieza post.
After the tea break, the Tenda handed Pikachu a box of fresh Peanut Cheese Bars, imported directly from Saturn Valley. Pikachu ran into Lumine Hall, bashed a few Fobbies, bolted right past a way to huge Electro Spector, into Lumine Hall, and right past Poo.
Pikachu decided to start a conversation with Poo. [Hey Poo. Are you still on the opposite side as me?]

Pikachu gained the power of Lumine Hall!

[4 down, 5 to go!]
Well, Poo can't complain about that little stunt, since it's just the same thing Poo just did. Pointless, maybe, but it's well played pointlessness!
