Posts #1106-1111: 21 May 2000

Six posts today instead of the usual five, because this is the end of the thread! Next blog, we will commence the fourth page of the Gathering. The horror.

Post #1106, by Traceh

After all the proper introduction they all started to calm down a bit. Following a certain ammout of silence (except for the rustling of leaves and tree stumps they were no doubt plowing over), Poo called out from the back of the Ford.
See, Traceh read diospadre's post. She knows it's a Ford.
"Hey..where the heck are we? Do we have any idea whatsoever where it is we are going? And it's bumpy and stuffy back here, can ya turn on the fan please?" Poo and Tracy had been the last ones in, hopping into the open trunk-type thing that joined with the back seat. Juliana and guru in the back, and Chris was up front with diospadre carrying on a conversation.
Nicely played, except that Poo isn't really the sort to say please. You'll notice that naturally Traceh has placed herself as far away from Chris as possible.
"I cant take it anymore!" Tracy said in a somewhat exasperated voice. "I need something to groove to!" She climbed up over the seat trying her best not to step on anyone and made it to the front.
Remember, she's doing this while the vehicle is being driven 40 or 50 miles an hour. Through a forest. Never let it be said that Traceh wasn't totally hardcore.
She searched in the dim light until she found the tape deck and found a tape that she assumed belonged to the owner of the Explorer. She stuck it in, smacking the 'play' button.

All at once the entire car-full groaned.

"Barry Manalow!?" guru exclaimed. "Noone can groove to this! Not even you, Tracy."
I LOL'd. So much I'll pass over my usual Noone joke.
Chris hit the 'eject' button, grabbed the tape, pressed a button to the right of his arm, and chucked it out the window into the surounding forest.

For the first time in a few hours they all laughed, despite the fact that it was only about five in the morning and they were all still tired. They emerged onto a somewhat paved road and it started to drizzle a light rain.
If you don't know what a 'somewhat paved road' would look like, you obviously have never been to Pennsylvania.
Poo looked up just in time to exclaim, "Whats that!?" and everyoneone looked up.

There was a thud and dios slammed on the breaks so hard they all went flying forward.

guruzeth opened the back door and urged Juliana through then followed. "Quick, get out! We gotta check what that was!" The others remained in the car and watched through the windows.
I'm curious how that would work. If Juliana exited the vehicle first, that would imply she was sitting closest to the door in question, which seems logical since guruzeth needed to get her out of the way before he could exit. But then why would guruzeth be reaching across Juliana's body to throw the door open? Did he think she couldn't figure it out on her own? Was the door on guruzeth's side broken and stuck locked shut? Or was this one of those discounted models that only have three doors? Or did guruzeth, sly dog that he is, invite Juliana to crawl over his lap to get out?
Tracy saw the figure laying on the ground a few feet away. Saw guruzeth and Juliana pick it up and drag it towards their transportation. They pulled the soaked figure in and slid the door shut, at which point diospadre once again had the peddal to the metal speeding towards their destination, whatever that might be. They had no time to waste.
So on behalf of the SixSeven Friends, Traceh has accepted Falcon24's membership request. And there was much rejoicing.

No pink goat named Sarah this time. How disappointing.

"I don't know who he is, but he needs help fast." guruzeth said after quickly looking over the strange person they had picked up. They had been driving for several minutes after stopping now, and were quickly sloshing through the back roads of Eagleland.
How exactly the hell did guruzeth get appointed Team Doctor?
"This seems like Twoson. There should be a hospital nearby." EBPoo remarked, and diospadre and the others started looking out the windows for it.

"There it is!" Juliana exclaimed, and they quickly wheeled into the parking lot, guruzeth and Tracy carrying the person into the hospital.
It doesn't make sense to me that the person with incredible strength is the one who dropped out of the Falcon24-carrying duties.
"Someone, we need help!" Tracy shouted as they came in, and a doctor quickly rushed over to them.
This might be the shortest Chris post in the entire Gathering.



Post #1108, by loid

Suddenly Lavos remembered what Randite said, that he could controll Kiyo's body during the night. Lavos emited a strange glow and the Earth turned away from the sun.
"NO! No it cant beEEEEAUGH....FOOL! Lavos you still think I would obey you, don't you? Here you are, dying. Waiting to be detroyed by all these people. Lavos, you may be bigger then I am, but you have a weakness..."
Randite began singing the Melodies from the sound stone.
"stop singing!" said Lavos

Randite continued singing the Melodies from the sound stone.
"STOP singing!!!"

Randite continued singing the Melodies from the sound stone.
STOP! Stop the SONG!"

Randite continued singing the Melodies from the sound stone.
"You puny little worm, STOP singing!"

Randite kept singing, and fired serveral blasts of sound stone energy. Lavos was weak agianst the holy and good powers of the sound stone.
"Guys, if you have any flashy special moves you wanna try, do so NOW!"
This post makes marginally more sense if you've played Mother. If you haven't, well, there's really no point trying to explain it all. Just trust me.



Post #1109, by Tengu Maul

"It's time..." Jack motioned to Ness, who had his Gaia Smash ready. Jack jumped into the air, his lightsaber outstretched. Ness charged it with Gaia energy, and Jack came down on the head with it.

Lavos flashed brightly several time, and Ness felt the sense of Lavos breaking down...
Wait, 'the sense of Lavos breaking down'? Meaning that attack is causing Lavos to go insane?
"Paula, Jeff, Poo... get ready..." he motioned to them. He then turned to the ACs, including Jack and Mani, "We thank you for your help. If we survive, we will come to your victory party... we promise..."
You'll notice how Tengu Man has declared himself Supreme Leader of Everything, and everyone else, including ACs, takes his orders without question. And so smoothly, too. You can read three or four posts into a Tenguthread before suddenly jumping up and shouting, "hey! Since when is he the boss of everyone, anyhow?" But by then it's too late.
Lavos them glowed and turned into his core form, and then glew a bright green. Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo then glowed the same colors, and the 5 disappeared...

"It's about to happen, the final battle with Lavos... good luck you four..." Jack said... ready to face anythng Lavos may have left behind for him and anyone else remaining...
It would make sense for someone to point out (preferably as sarcastically as possible) that Tengu Man is way overstepping what he's allowed to do in an IF thread here. But what does any of this Lavos nonsense really matter? So who cares? He's really not affecting anything anyone else in the thread is doing, if you think about it. He's safely off in his own fantasyland for now.

Sir pulled out a keychain and pressed a small button, causing the Z8 he had driven up to pull down the top. The car was parked inside the cave.

"Hurry, jump in!" Yelled Sir as him and Anthadd dived into the BMW. Sir burned out and steered for the exit.

"Stalagtite!" Anthadd yelled, causing Sir to swerve in the nick of time. Instead of being impaled, the car only took some scratches.

"The rental shop's gonna kill me for this.."
Have I mentioned lately that I love SirMontyG posts?
The car hit a bump and ramped out of the cave and back into the lost underworld. Sir pulled a 180 and headed for the village. Anthadd looked back to see the Fire Springs reduced to rubble..
This post should be cited in the textbook Ending Plot Threads That Long Ago Grew Boring.



Post #1111, by t0nberry22

(I repeat the question again, what do the 9th and 10th medodies sound like?!)
You can repeat the question as many times as you'd like, dearie, and you will get the same chirping crickets in response every time. No one cares.
Ton say Kiyo doing a super cool attack against Lavos, and realized this was his chance.
I think he meant to type 'saw' there, not 'say.' Not sure how obvious that is to you.
"Guys! If you don't have a Super-Special attack left, or don't want to fight the Lavos Core, jump in the portal!" Ton created a Dark Portal and fired a Disruptor at it. The portal became a TimeGate.
"Listen! I have a Super Powerful attack, called Soul Flare! It's very powerful, and could possibly destroy Lavos! The only problem is, it might also destroy anyone left in the area! So, choose wisely if you want to stay or leave!"
(Everyone, please tell me if you stay or go.)
((By the way, a Soul Flare is a lot like a Spirit Bomb. But you probably knew that.))
Does he... seriously think anyone is going to choose to leave the scene? Like, "I was totally going to kick Lavos's ass, but t0nberry22 is so much cooler than I am, I can't help but agree I should step aside and let him do it"? This is without considering the Tengu Man post right above this one, which t0nberry22 has not read (it was only 9 minutes ahead of this one; the posts are flying fast right now).

Post #1101, by Chris

"Me? The name's diospadre. A pleasure to finally meet all of you. I didn't catch everyone's names."

"Traceh, from the forums."

"PSI322 at your service."
I think this is the second or third time Chris has had PSI322's avatar introduce herself as 'PSI322' when in fact PSI322 has been clear that her AC's name is Juliana.
"Chris of the Boards."

"EBPoo or Poo, take your pick."

"And I'm guruzeth"

After the quick introductions, diospadre explained quickly what had happened. The spawns had attacked the hotel and quickly leveled it. diospadre had managed to grab a delivery van and was making his way in search of other SM.netters who were in trouble when he saw the group of five. He quickly had pulled us aboard, and the now group of six had driven off in search of shelter.
Chris really isn't paying attention. diospadre explicitly stated that he picked the Five Friends up in his own Ford Explorer, not some random delivery van. Also I don't know why Chris weirdly lapsed into first person at the end there.
"Guys, I have an idea," said EBPoo. "Most of southern Eagleland and the other continents have been affected, but the northern towns like Onett and Twoson haven't been attacked at all. If we go there, we might be able to find shelter."
Obviously the Kiddie Klub and/or Tengulings will just bring the violence right on the Five Friends' heels wherever they go, but, well, they have to go somewhere if they're going to continue to pursue guruzeth's cunning 'run the hell away' strategy. I think cruising Onett and Twoson is as good a plan as any other.
"But, what will we do once we find shelter?" asked guruzeth.



Post #1102, by Godeg

Mike awoke with a start in the Eagleland Island Hotel. He checked his watch, surprised that he had been unconscious for quite awhile.
He woke up in the hotel that has already been demolished? OK, it's cool, we can assume this is a Ten hours ago... post.
"Holy cow, no more devilled eggs for me... especially ones that are laying on a table with nobody around" Mike thought. "My head is kinda hurting as well... stupid exploding walkers. They tick me off. ...Hmm, i guess i'll go out and try to find other people, since it appears as if my companion has left."
I honestly don't remember who his companion was and I don't really care. OK, OK, asshole, I'll look it up for you. There's no need to be nasty about it.
Godeg's companion was Nathan (Dr. Andonuts), according to an offhand reference in Godeg's last post, several hundred posts ago, which Dr. Andonuts almost certainly never read, which is why Dr. Andonuts never referenced Godeg in any of his subsequent posts.
At almost the exact instant that Mike had thought that, he imagined he felt a rumbling, almost like that of an earthquake. Except, that this earthquake was real. Mike, now kinda scared, ran out of the hotel and onto the beach, to find a giant mass out in the distance. Being one to not stick around when there is imminent danger, especially by himself, Mike took off like a madman, heading in Onett's general direction.
Hi guys! This is Godeg! I'm still here! Apparently Godeg is, for reasons that were only known to him 12 years ago and aren't known to anyone anymore, has decided to throw his lot in with team guruzeth. So the once Five Friends are now the Seven Friends and seem about to become the Eight Friends. By the way, that almost certainly means team guruzeth will split up in the near future; anything more than about five ACs is too many to keep together, especially in a fast moving thread like this one.



Post #1103, by  Little Yoshi

(Sorry if elemental slash was too strong)
Yeah, you sound it.
The grenade worked, but Lavos reactivated quickly. The head used a doom blaze, catching the group off guard. Tim quickly used Lifeup Omega, and then was roasted by a flame attack(and as you should know, Ice is weak to fire) Tim was blown to his feet.
You have to like how he throws condescending OOC comments into his riveting battle scenes. This would probably be more of a problem if anyone ever than Liyoshi himself and me ever read any of his posts.
"You will pay for what you've done to the jellyfish!" Lavos shouted. He used another Doom Blaze, K.O.ing Tim, and damaging the others badly.
"I'm not finished with you yet!!" Lavos yelled, using his Flame on Tim again, who was blown from the battle, and hit something metal.

When he came to, he saw the machine was generating something. Tim, with further examination, notcied it was Lavos Spawns. He observed a coil linking to the robot.
"So this is where all those Lavos Spawns come from," im said, slashing at the chord with the Masamune. Then, he flicked the off switch, and returned to the battle, praying that the others were okay.
I would love Liyoshi so much if I knew he was actually massively trolling the entire thread by actively seeking out things to do that are certain to rips--- piss off pretty much everyone in the thread. You'd think, especially based on this post, that's what he's doing. But no. He was just that selfish and oblivious.



Post #1104, by loid

Kiyo and the Lavos spawn stood in the Lavos crater, formerly Saturn Valley.
You know, that sentence pretty much sums up everything I ever hated about IF, at least as it existed on the starmen.net forums. How the hell can you turn Saturn Valley into a Lavos crater? How???
"Ok lets go in!"
Kiyo went into the Lavos shell and had several weapons were pointed at the Lavos Spawn and him.
"IT'S OK! This Lavos here thinks I'm Lavos. It's Ok! Put the gaia beam down!"
"So, you return! I trust Randite has already destroyed your mind."
"Shut your mouth."
Kiyo grabed his sound stone is his hand. It started glowing with a very bright yellow light unil it became a pulsating yellow sphere. He rolled it after Lavos where it poped with a sickening blast and a new sphere appeared in his hand.
"GWARRGGHHH!"
I can't really follow this post from one sentence to the next. Is loid even aware there are about ten ACs in the middle of a fight with Lavos right now? How is this post supposed to work with all of theirs at all?



Post #1105, by Godeg

After awhile, Mike arrived in Onett.
He waited an hour and a half, dammit, and he cannot wait anymore. (You'll notice how, despite a half dozen posts since they left the hotel, team guruzeth still has not arrived in Onett. Godeg is skipping ahead in time.)
"Holy cow, too much running. Now im tired. And hungry. Maybe there's a vending machine somewhere..."

Mike decided to go find a vending machine, and when he found one, proceeded to buy some chips. But, to his dismay, he had no money. After a quick check of the change slot, he found some cash.

"Alright, im lucky. Time to get them potato chips." Mike buys the potato chips, and starts eating.
Godeg slips into the present tense for no reason.
"Hmm... I wonder what that huge mass was, out on the horizon. Stupid huge thing, made me forget my cash, my weapon, and my communicator. Hmm. Maybe if i wander around, maybe I'll find somebody who can explain, and maybe let me follow them around for awhile..."

Mike starts wandering around, wondering what is going on, since he has been 'unconscious' for a while, hoping to find somebody.
Godeg elects for the tried and true tactic of announcing his presence near the group he wishes to join, and hoping they're nice enough to say "Hi Godeg! We like you! Please join us!" To be fair to him, though, after team guruzeth arrives in Onett (if they do at all; there's still time for them to abruptly change course) he will still have the option of actively latching on to them. 
I think people are actually reading team guruzeth's posts enough to realize that this group contains two girls, which has made it the hot group where everyone who's anyone goes. Even the Kiddie Klub, via SaturnAl, awkwardly tried to merge with them.
