Posts #1061-1065: 18 May 2000

Post #1061, by t0nberry22

(Good, now you guys are helpin' me. Now I'm satisfied.
Seriously, this is a gigantic development for our friend t0nberry: people are acknowledging him! they're offering to help him and everything! Group hug, guys!
And, since it's been a while, I'll say I'm actually fighting DT. I'll write more later, K?)
So this post's only purpose is to get his name back near the top of the posters' list, in the hope it'll help him not be left behind by his new friends before he gets around to posting something. It's hard work typing up paragraph after paragraph of achingly dull and already overdone battle sequences. That s--- takes time.



Post #1062, by Little Yoshi


(I'll help narrate the Lavos Robo form battle)
Of course you will. You're everyone's favorite battle narrator, after all. 
(oh, and Ton, when you're done fighting your dark side, come help us please!)
Thus Liyoshi shoots down the last lingering thread of hope that maybe this battle wouldn't take long.
Tim was at the back of the gang, the place where a healer should be, but not he. He was obsessed with good armor, and had gotten an enormous defense boost in Magicant, though he sacrificed most of his offense. He ran to the front.
"Lavos! Are you the cause of the Jellyfish?!"
"So, you figured it out, eh? Yep! The Emperor jellyfish was merely a mindless servant of mine! and you, Tim! will be dearly for messing up his plans!RIGHT ARM! LEFT ARM!" Lavos's two arms extended from it's body. "Lavos attack plan 3A! Go!"
Lavos's Head cast chaos, his arms used their slicing attacks, and the jellyfish defended the body.
You know what? F--- this. I'm not annotating this. I have already annotated this post about 30 times and there is nothing new to say. I could just repeat exactly the same things I've already said 30 times and only change a few select words here and there... but then I'd be just like Liyoshi. I'll see you next post.
"Wait!" Tim said, and quickly put on Magus's theme."There, now we can fight!" The Left Arm threw it's two chopping thingies at Tim! 384 HP of damge to Tim! "And I thought I was well defended..." Tim moaned getting up.
Pikachu used a swift attack! Jellyfish couldn't block the blow! 12 HP of damage to the Head.
"Pikachu, you're supposed to attack thwe arms first..." Tim said.
[Oh, sorry,]
I'll jump in here long enough to laugh with you at how Liyoshi makes no effort to hide his dislike of 3164.
Porheydron used Blizzard! The jellyfish's shield's blunted the blow! The Right Arm threw two chopping thingies at Nathan! 401 HP of damage Tim used Lifeup Gamma! Nathan's HP are maxed out! The jellyfish attacked with Acid! Tim's defense fell! The head cast Chaos! Tim, Nathan, and Pikachu were confused! Porheydron used Freshen Up! Tim, Pikachu, and Nathan are no longer confused!
In a stunning twist, the item 'Freshen Up' is from Super Mario RPG, not Chrono Trigger. Presumably he went with that only because Chrono Trigger doesn't have any full party status recovery items.

Post #1063, by t0nberry22
You probably think this means t0nberry in fact did start writing a real post right after he posted #1061 above, and posted it ten minutes later. But you're wrong. This was actually posted almost nine hours later. I don't think I even have to look it up to know that 16 and 17 May were Saturday and Sunday, and 18 May is Monday, based on the abrupt lack of posts for nine hours the morning and early afternoon of 18 May. 
OK, I did look it up, and to my shock, 18 May 2000 was a Thursday. So forget everything I said, I have no clue what's up.

Ton and Dark Ton were still fighting. They had started with their knives, but then they tried to whack each other with their lanterns. Now, it had come down to a bout of wrestling.
"Arrgh take that!" Ton dived at DT. DT dodged and kicked Ton. Ton went up... and then landed on DT. They started rolling around, grappling.
"Grrrr!"
"Yaaah!"
Meanwhile, Pika, Tim and the rest were till fighting Lavos.
"Man, this guy just doesn't quit!" said Tim, dodging a beam attack.
Suddenly, Ton and Dark Ton rolled in, still wrestling. Lavos fired a beam at them.
"Whaaaa?!!"

Ton suddenly realized that he and DT were in a different place. They were standing in a river. On one side, there was a beautiful valley. On the other, there was a wasteland.
"Where are we..." said Ton.
Suddenly, Eden Ton appeared!
"This is Limbo, the place between life and death. Your struggle has been so great, it could only be finished here. On one side of the river is life, on the other side is death. Whichever one of you knocks the other into death, wins. Now, are you ready for the final clash?"
"I'm ready."
"You bet!"
Well, they seem fairly upbeat, considering how close they stand to death.
"Alright, let's get ready to rummmmble!"
A small bell appears out of nowhere and sounds out.
[Ding!]
Ton ran at DT. DT dodged and tripped Ton. Ton got up and punched DT in the stomach. DT keeled over. Ton kicked DT away. DT landed and then got up.
DT dived at Ton. Ton leaped up and landed on DT. DT flipped him off his back and got up. Ton landed near the edge. DT jumped on top of him and tried to force him onto the death side.
I know I say it all the time, but how could anyone possibly want to read more than six words of this? 
"Heheh... Now I shall rule! Prepare to die, TON THE WEAKLING!"
Ton thought fast.[What do I do? He's got me pinned! ...Wait, I remember now!]
Italics would really have been better than those thrice-damned greater-than-less-than symbols to express that you're thinking rather than talking. Damn 3164 to hell for introducing those wretched symbols.
Ton raised his hand. "Hey, Dark Ton, look over there! It's a human that's scared of you!"
DT looked back. "Huh? Where?"
Ton grinned. "Oops, my mistake. Just a gullible dark side of myself." Dark Ton whirled around just in time to see Ton flip him over his head. Dark Ton hit the ground. Dark Ton was surrounded by a strange white light.
"Noooooooo!!!!"
Dark Ton was vaporized.
"Yes!" Ton jumped into the air. "I beat 'em!"
Eden Ton talked again. "Good Job, Tonberry! You have defeated your evil self. Now your Magicant is whole again! Unfortunately, you will never get to see it again."
"Huh? Why not?"
"You see, your evil self got the 9th melody while you were getting the 4th, and that means..."
Ton groaned. "I have all Nine Melodies, and I defeated my Evil side!"
"But don't despair! You will have a good hand in fighting Lavos, and you now have 10 melodies! Now, back to the physical plane with you!"
Ton suddenly realized he was much more powerful than he looked, and the heritage of the Tonberry Race was flowing through him, giving him strength for upcoming battle. Ton then realized the powers of his ancestors!
Powerful on an absolute scale, maybe. But not powerful at all on the relative scale. You are God, sure, but so is everyone else.
Ton got 100,000 exp.
Ton went to level 50!
Ton's HP went up by 100!
Ton's str. went up 50!
Ton's def. went up by 50!
Ton realized the power of Disruptor!
Ton realized the power of Healing!
Ton realized the power of Lifeup!
Ton realized the power of ????????!


Ton woke up. Ahead of him, a group of people were fighting Giygas. They had not taken notice of his battle with DT.
I'm not certain if Giygas' sudden appearance here is a screwup on t0nberry's part or an attempt to introduce some kind of Lavos-Giygas-fusion stupidity. Probably a screwup; I'd expect him to be more elaborate with the latter, if he was doing it on purpose.
"Whoa! I better go help them!" Picking up his lantern and knife(Which were both glowing strangely, but Ton didn't notice), Ton headed into the battle.

Post #1064, by Chris

Slowly, the work began. At first, everyone was simply working on digging up a big enough pile of sand to build from. After a few hours of digging and taking breaks to rest, they had a large mound of sand. Now, it was time to start the castle.
"How should we go about doing this?" Poo asked.
It's extra funny because EBPoo already disregarded Chris's attempts to control him and went to play in the surf. Chris is disregarding EBPoo's disregard. It's the Interactive Fiction metagame.
"I say we use this big pit as a moat." guruzeth replied.

"Yeah, that oughta work. Let's get started." Juliana said.

They started scuplting a base out of their pile of sand, and after another half hour of work, had build a solid foundation. Now, it was time to start building the towers. As they were being sculpted, Chris went in search of a source of flowing water to fill the moat with. He managed to find a hose, and soon, the moat was starting to fill with water. Tracy dug a drain path from the castle to the ocean, and the moat was soon flowing with water.

As dusk began to set on the land, the castle's finishing touches were being added, and tourists had begun coming to marvel at it. 
As far as I know this is the very first mention of any tourists in this entire thread. Naturally they exist solely to worship Chris.
Once the five friends had finished it, they decided to go see about finding dinner. They went back to the hotel, where they hoped to find food at the restaurant. They went in, and found themselves with a much more comprehensive menu that didn't require Chris and Juilana to translate everything. They sat down at dinner, and began to talk about all sorts of things.
Seriously, this is as boring as a Liyoshi post, and for many of the same reasons. It's the second time he's done a sandcastle-building post; he might as well have copied the first one verbatim and dropped a few extra names in. And now he's given us a teaser for his next post: they're going to eat at a restaurant! Again!  
I think this is happening because (a) Chris has established throughout this thread that he wants nothing to do with the Save the World Club, and the only thing he wants is to fantasize about hanging out with PSI322, but (b) the presence of three extra posters, and particularly of guruzeth (who he can't simply ditch for a mess of reasons) has rendered him unable to proceed with what he'd normally do, namely isolate PSI322 and resume the dating cycle. So he's just spinning his wheels until PSI322 or guruzeth decides what new thing. the group's going to do next.


Post #1065, by Mog116

(Uh.. GUYS! I'M FIGHTING LAVOS TOO!)
No, you're bitching. Maybe if you did less bitching and more fighting Lavos, people would remember to include a token 'Mog took 85000 HP damage!' once in a while. You know why they don't? Because they figure--correctly--that all you'd do in response is bitch about that.
Mog put on his roller blades and blasted into Lavos. He shot through, hit Nathan, then started bouncing all over the place, causing about 300 Hp damage to Lavos (totalled), and stopped, on his head, on Lavos' Left arm. Mog flipped over, then drove his Spear into Lavos Left arm. Mog casted Posoin (Sp?) an his spear, and the posoin ran through Lavos Veins. This did about 600 damage, butMog had to rip out his spear, and join the others fighting.
So, are you glued to the edge of your chair for the Epic Lavos Showdown yet? Is your heart racing?
