After he reached Twoson, Tsurami went to Burglin Park and bought some bananas and rolls. Then he had a look around the department store. TsuramiSea managed to get money by battling Cranky Ladies, who apologized after they became normal and gave him some money. TsuramiSea bought a bracelet and rested at the hotel. When he woke up the next day, he wondered what to do next.
"I know! I'll go see Orange Kid!" TsuramiSea ran to the Orange Kid's house. On the way, he ran into a couple of girls.
"Are you going to see the Orange Kid?!" one of them asked.
"Yes..." mumbled Tsurami.
"Well, remember to be polite to him! Because he's so smart," replied the other girl. "He's the coolest person in this town, isn't he?" she gushed to her friend.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see his next invention!"
Tsurami walked away, heading again towards the house. He knocked, and a rather stuffy voice said, "Enter." He did so.
Inside was a kid with glasses, orange hair, and a strange stem-like object sticking up from the middle of the hair. He just observed Tsurami for a moment. "I don't believe I've had the pleasure of making your acquaintance. Who might you be?" he said, with a charming smile.
"My name is TsuramiSea," said that person, "and I thought that while I was in Twoson, I might visit the renowned Orange Kid."
"Ah, many thanks for doing so," said Orange Kid. "I bet you want to see one of my GREAT inventions, don't you?!"
"I suppose so."
"All right! So you shall." Orange Kid dug around in a box, and pulled out a strange looking machine. "This is my.... SUPER ORANGE MACHINE! Suporma for short! Take it willya."
TsuramiSea took the Suporma, looked at it for a minute, and burst out laughing, knowing what a stupid machine it was.
"What's so funny?" remarked Orange Kid. "It doesn't look like much, but it took a while to build."
It did? thought TsuramiSea. Then why does it break so easily in the game? Tsurami decided to employ a little more tact, and stopped laughing. "Er, I'm sorry. I just thought you were going to bring out something bigger than this...."
"Well, all my other inventions are currently elsewhere." Tsurami took this to mean that he didn't have any other inventions. "That Suporma plays a delightful song, try it!"
Tsurami almost burst into laughter again at hearing "Ode to Orange Kid" being called a delightful song. But he held himself in check and said, "I'll play it sometime when I'm feeling depressed, it should cheer me up." It sure will, he thought to himself, perhaps that's ALL it will be good for.
"I know you will positively dance to the sweet melody!" said Orange Kid excitedly. "That's all for now. It was wonderful to meet you."
"Same here," said Tsurami. "Goodbye, Orange Kid."
TsuramiSea left the Orange Kid's house, and wondered where to go next. He didn't want to fight too much because he was so weak. (How about that, a weakling, just like Loid! Only he doesn't have huge weapons to back him up, which makes him truly pathetic. Guuuu) "Well, maybe I'll just go to Threed and see what I can do there.... can't think of much else. Maybe I'll meet another SM.Netter! There have to be more of them around here SOMEHWERE....."
TsuramiSea walked off towards the Two-Three tunnel.
You know, I like this post. Tsurami's doing what I've been wishing people would do throughout these annotations: he's humming along and doing whatever seems interesting to him. Playing the "this is so cool, who should I meet next?!" angle of the inserted-into-EarthBound concept. The other posters will regard him as behind the times since they blew through that in about 20 (total) posts. But you tell me: what have they been doing the last 600 posts that's remotely interesting?

Thank you very much, Tengu, for that completely unexpected plot twist. I'm too confused. So what are we suppopsed to fight instead of Lavos? What was it? Randite Statue or something? I'm not gonna post right yet; I'm too confused.)
He wants to tell Tengu to f--- off, but is too timid to. So instead, we get these vague claims about being confused; Gauntlet is hoping someone more important than himself will back him up.

Ton and Dark Ton arravid in the center of the Sea of Eden. There, a strange statue of Ton was standing. The statue spoke.
In case you forgot, Ton and Dark Ton were hiking together to the Sea like old buddies."Welcome to Eden. You have come to the center and will duel, correct?"
"Um, yes." said Ton.
"Good. I don't like tourists hanging around. Now, choose your weapons." Some weapons appeared.
"Why can't we just use our knives?" said Dark Ton.
"Hmmm. I din't think of that. Alright, ready to start?"
"Sure!"
"Let's go."
"Alright, when I count to three, start fighting.1... 2... 3!!!!"
Ton jumped at DT and slashed. DT rolled out of the way. DT swung his lantern. It connected! Ton gets knocked back.
In the very unlikely event you don't know what the knives and lanterns are about, they're supposed to be Tonberries, the iconic weirdo monster from the Final Fantasy series. Look it up yourself, you lazy asshole."Giving up already, Ton?"
"I'm just getting started!"
DT tries to stab Ton. Ton dodges and kicks DT in the tail. DT spins around and slashes. Ton is hit! Ton falls back, then charges forward at DT. DT gets the wind knocked out of him.
"Why... you... little..."
DT catches his breath and lunged forward.
It's really not that easy to "catch your breath" when you get the wind knocked out of you. It leaves you unable to breathe for a good 30 to 60 seconds, and takes a while to fully recover from. If it happens to you in the middle of mortal combat, you are dead.Ton dodges and kicks DT in the tail again. DT spins around and conks Ton badly with the lantern. Ton drops his lantern and falls down. DT walks up to Ton. Ton suddenly kicks DT in the stomach. He drops his lantern.
"Well... this... is pretty even." gasps Ton.
"Yeah... it... is." wheezes DT.
"Guys, I hate to interrupt you, but your lanterns are about to fall into the sea! Get them before they fall in!"
Ton and DT are too late. The lanterns fall into the Sea of Eden. Suddenly a huge rumbling starts.
"W-what's going on?!"
"The Sea of Eden is cracking in two. One half will become part of Light Magicant, and the other will become part of Dark Magicant."
"But that means..."
"Yes. Ton's Dark Side and Ton's Light Side will become separate beings."
"Yes!" cried DT. "Finally, I will be able to wreck havoc on the world!"
"NOOOOOOOO!" Suddenly, there was one last crack, and Ton lost contact with the outside world.
This would seem like actually an interesting and dire plot twist if I had the faintest clue what the hell was really going on here, and if there was any connection between it and anyone besides a lone insignificant poster. As is, it will be ignored by everyone else.

"It's simple, really," the tenda chief explained. "Just start running in a straight line, and thinking about where you want to go, and you'll be there. You've already realized some psychic powers, so it will be possible for the two of you to teleport."
Well, the monkey in EarthBound didn't really make the explanation any more complicated than that. Though for full effect I guess one of the Tenda should have demonstrated for them."Thanks, chief. See you later!" Juliana replied.
Chris and Juliana had arrived a few hours after setting off for Tenda Village. They asked the chief how they might leave the Lost Underworld, and he suggested that they teleport. He had just finished explaining it, and now, Chris and Juliana were ready to try.
The two of them stood side by side, looking at a clearing of land in front of them. Chris counted to three, and they started running as fast as they could, constantly thinking about Summers.
Having (a) been one of the faster runners in my high school and (b) lost a footrace to PSI322, I can attest: she is fast. I doubt Chris would have been able to keep up, either. Which is good, since, y'know, at some point she may actually have to sprint away from him to the nearest police station.After a few hundred feet, Chris saw the world was starting to blur around him. Suddenly, a white flash appeared, and he found himself running down the main oceanfront street in Summers. He looked to his left, and saw Juliana standing there, looking around in amazement.
"Well, we made it. What should we do now that we're here?" Chris asked, after catching his breath from the run.
"I say we go swimming!" Juliana replied. Chris nodded his head, and the two of them went up to the hotel to book two rooms for the night, and to change into bathing suits.
Once again, please don't be too impressed. Predicting bathing suits would instantly come into play was no more difficult than predicting Tengu Man would try to hijack the Big Bad.After a few minutes, they met together and walked down to the beach, ready to enjoy their vacation.
Chris's favorite word is entirely out of place in that sentence. Pretty obvious he just tossed it in there because he likes it.

The rope ladder leading to Titanic Ant's usual position was now covered in goo. "Eww.. looks like a giant booger climbed this... uh-oh..." Chris suddenly remembered something about a giant booger in a game he once played. Climbing up, despite the ooze, he found, sure enough, the Saline Slimer from Lunar.
I don't think PSI322 instituted any rules about pointless crossovers back at the beginning, so it's her fault this is happening, really."Blaarg! This is the first 'Your Sanctuary' location. But it's Titanic Ant's now. GWARG! I got the line wrong. Anyway, I'm Titanic Ant's substitute. I'm new at this, let me try again. *ahem* 'This is the first 'Your Sanctuary' location. But it's mine now. Take it from me, if you dare...' Hey! I got it right! Now let's fight!"
"Okay. PSI Moogle Gamma!" The following psychic blast was enough to destroy the Saline Slimer, despite it having around 7980 HP from Chris's current level. Chris went forth and collected the Giant Step melody on his Sound Stone replica. But after getting the melody, he heard a voice which said, "So you're the one with the white dragon. You'll never be able to defeat me, even with the Sanctuary locations on your side."
Chris immediately recognized the voice. "GHALEON! What do you want?!"
The voice, which obviously belonged to Ghaleon, chuckled. "Why, simply to rule this place with Althena, which I should be doing on the world of LUNAR right now, if it weren't for that... boy... from Burg."
I have not the faintest idea what any of this is about. And being certain no one else will ever pay attention to it, I'm going to skip the rest of this post. Bye!"I'll beat you," Chris said. "Just like Dragonmaster Alex did. You'll never take this place!"
"That's what you think!"
"Ghaleon! GHALEON!" He got no response... "So Ghaleon's trying to take this place over. I've got to stop him. With or without my equipment! Go, Growlithe!" The fire pokémon appeared from its Poké Ball. "I know you don't have Dig yet, but Dig a path to Twoson for us!"
"Growwwlithe!" it responded, and dug a tunnel leading directly to Twoson, despite not having the Dig ability. Chris then followed Growlithe to Twoson...
