Posted by: Aeris_Flame
Hello all its me Aeris again. I was hoping that I could start a story thread. I'll start writing a paragraph and others contribute to see what we get. Now I know with all you cool people here we are bound to get a funny, intresting story, so make it funky. Ok here goes.
Vincent woke up in a cold swaet, his head pounding. He fumbled for the clock on his bedside table, it was only 4:17 am. 'I must've had another nightmare', he thought. He slowly lumbered out of bed and headed for the bathroom. He was halfway to the door when he realized he was not in his own home. "What the..?! Where the hell am I? How did I get here?" He looked around for something familiar and went to the endtable, grabbed the lamp and switched it on. Nothing could prepare him for what he saw...

Oh come on, that's not funny...I was hoping you guys would be serious about this. Now Nova did you say that to be funny or because you can't think of anything better?? Hmmm, maybe you should try again.

None of the above.
Edit: I personally don't have a problem with this type of thread. I have participated in many of them on other forums over time. However, I think you're missing your target audience here. It would likely be better to just write a full story, and post it here for the enjoyment of anyone who would read it. You'd probably get a few other people making their own submissions as well.
Posted by: Aeris_Flame
Ok what just happened here? I'm lost. Is this one of those "illeagal" threads? One of the ones you're not allowed to post? I just want to know why I can't get a serious response to my post.

Nova's post was just Nova being Nova.
Don't lose much sleep over it. ( Nova)
See my above post.

"THE END is near!" cried a voice from outside, as Vincent discovered that he was in a barn, with the shouts and screams of an oncoming mob reverberating from a distance. Or was it an echo of something that happened? Of something that might yet come? Vincent had no time to find the answers. All he wants to know was where he was, and how he got here. Still clutching the lamp, he took a deep breath, pushed against the old, creaky doors of the dilapidated barn, and went outside...

 TY Laggy for that quick save! And GS TY for your insight I'll keep that in mind over time as I try to find my niche here in OTS. Also that is a good suggestion I think I will write a story for you folks here for your honest opinions and critiques. (And yes I know I'm asking for it but...oh well) I think having outside opinions of my work will help me get a better grasp of what I love most, The written word.

large heavily built man dressed in military attire heading straight for him. He lifted the lamp above his head in a defensive pose, ready for anything. The man walked up to him and began to speak, but before a word could be uttered a large group of men carring guns and bats and dressed completely in black surrounded the two men. One of the men stepped forward and declared in a rumbling voice "All your base are belong to us!" The other men jumped on Vincent and the military man and beat them with their guns and bats. Sometime later Vincent awoke, groggy and with a pounding headache. He looked around and saw...

"I am in your head..." To which Vincent gasped in fright, as he did not know where that voice came from. He knew he muttered it, but it was not what he was thinking of saying at the wretched spawn of Satan that just left the building. But even as he fell into reverie at the apparent lapse in vocal control that has transpired, another voice was inside his head, begging to be heard. It was an ominous voice that said, "This is me blowing you ... away..."

Vincent couldn't believe his luck, so terrible indeed this was. Out of all the things he hated his Sister had always topped off the list. Thankfully she was pre-occupied at the moment though, playing with a small toy walrus.
Vincent quickly stepped out of the room and shut the door. "Man that was close, now I'm trapped."

the head dwarf came up to vincent and handed him a piece of the red veined ore, then led all the dwarves back to the mine. Vincent pocketed the ore, then continued up the stairs to the exit. he opened the door to see a small clearing in the woods. as he stepped into the sunlight, he turned his head and.....

But then the Dark Archon screams in anger; he is out of Psi energy at the moment (34/250), terrribly not enough for a mind control on Vincent. The Dark Archon turns around and moves away, but not before Vincent lobs a nearby dwarf's pick ax at the archon as it disappears from sight. However, the Dark Archon went away unscathed...this time.

.... a fox with a long pick axe through the middle of his spine.
"Have you seen Barret?" asks Vincent.
The fox falls in front of him.
Vincent waits for a very long time but the fox does not reply. Finally the mud coming out of the creatures back finds it's way to Vincent's shoe. He hates blood, actually he's terrified of it. At that moment he notices that the fox is dead! The realization makes him take a mighty leap back, right into the wall of the pit. Vincent hits his head hard on a rock and is knocked unconcious.
Posted by: WD40
Vincent groggily wakes up, hearing a voice shout at him. Looking at his surroundings, he finds he is still in the pit. He sees the fox's dead body and realizes it was his pick ax from when he missed the Dark Archon.
"Are you alright" the voice asks. Vincent looks up and sees that it is the ShapeShifter.
The Shapeshifter says "I told you the forest was dangerous! I knew you would fall into a pit. Those forest imps are devious. Here!"
The Shapeshifter throws down a vine for Vincent to climb up with.

ogre, you know like one of those giant ones form final fantasy 1 thats like 2 times a mans size and 2 times as fat. Well anyways, Vincent somehow remembers that he had his peacemaker in his pocket, how could he forget it about the size of a rifle but that is another story. Vincent only has enuff time to attack the ogre on its big toe, the ogre swings its giant club, that would take like 3 trees to make, and pounds, rather attempts to pound Vincent, but Vincent somehow dodges it. Amazing. Any ways the crush from the giant club makes the ground shake and any thing in a 1-mile radius if not more could feel it. And apparently Barret felt it so he comes to the rescue only to get whapped by the club. Vincent takes aim and shoots the ogre in the eye. In the ogres blind rage....
Posted by: Xtren
... it grabbed hold of Vincent's leg and swept him to the ground. The ogre started dragging him. With a giant sweeping motion it threw him, and he landed about twenty feet away, on top of a tiny chipmunk. He started crying.
The ogre, who had thought for a split second that the impact had killed Vincent, started making his way blindly toward him, following the sound of his cries. Before Vincent could notice the ogre coming towards him it grabbed him by the leg again and started dragging him once more. This time the ogre was not going to let go so fast.
It continued to drag the helpless Vincent along the ground until they came to a gigantic cave. He was lifted by the ogre and thrown inside. Soon a boulder was moved to cover the entrance. Vincent could not see anything in the pitch dark. He would have to find another way out.
Posted by: Aeris_Flame
(TY all who have contributed up to this point, this is a damn fine and funny story if I may say so myself. Now on to the story...)
Vincent backs up until he is to the wall of the cave, and turns around running his hands along the slimy rock. Its mostly smotth but in some parts it almost feels scaly. He hears a breeze blowing and decieds to follow the sound. As he runs his hands along the surface he feel a tremor. Uh oh, thinks Vincent, this ain't no rock. It's a...DRAGON! Oh shnikes, what am I going to do? Vincent tries to move slowly away from the sleeping dragon and trips over his tail. Something in the dark stirs and Vincent...

Something in the dark stirs and Vincent...
Reaches deep into his pocket and wraps his fingers around the thing that may save his life , throwing the two D10 's he rolls for disbeliefe but suddenly ...........
Posted by: Xtren
..... The dragon rolls over as if it wants Vincent to pet it on the belly.
Vincent stares at the thing, terrified, but sure that this is more good luck than bad. He closes his eyes and starts petting the dragon. After about five minutes he figures his therapy should have been rather satisfying and he stops. The dragon looks at him lovingly and blows a smoke ring.
"Man what a bad day, I have got to get out of here!" Vincent runs quickly pat the dragon, deeper and deeper into the cave, hoping the thing is not following him. After a long run, by Vincent's standards, the dragon is far behind, and he breaths a sigh of relief. Vincent continues on until he trips again and bangs his knee on the rock. He rubs his leg and squirms around in pain.....

what happend to the dice?
Posted by: Aeris_Flame
As Vincent is tried to get up from the ground he felt a sharp pain in his ankle. He hobbled to his feet and remebered the dice in his pocket. He took the out and blew on them for luck. Tossing them in the air, he waited with baited breath. When they landed, Vincent peered at them. A perfect 20!! Yes! Suddenely a magic portal opened in front of him, Vincent held his breath and walked through the portal. On the other side he found....
Posted by: Aeris_Flame
A time Warp!! He went through the portal hoping for an escape and found himself directly back in the cave he just came from. He heard the ogre moving the stone in front of the dragon's cave. 'Dammit,' Vincent thought, 'Just what I need. So much for good luck!' Vincent began to stuble through the cave when he ran SMACK, right into the dragon. The dragon rolled over, awaiting his pats on the stomach. vincent decided this time maybe having a dragon wouldn't be so bad. The dragon then spoke directly to Vincent's mind, saying "Thank you for patting and scratching my tummy. You have no idea how long I've suffered with that itch. Usually people just run away from me." "No problem, but I really thought you were going to eat me." Vincent states. "Ugh, eat a human? Yuck! You humans aren't that tasty...I prefer a nice sheep myself. By the way I'm Galtog." Vincent replies "Well, it's good to meet you Galtog. Would you happen to know another way out of here? That ogre trapped me in here." Galtog jumps into the air and hovers for a few seconds before saying, "Climb up, I've got a secret exit but it's up this shaft. We'll have to fly out." Vincent climbs aboard the dragon's back and explains he wants to find the man called Barret. Just then, the red veined ore falls from Vincent's pocket and the dragon gasps. "Where did you get this?!" he roared. Vincet was amazed at Galtog's sudden change in demeanor and terrified he replies...
Posted by: Xtren
.... "Umm... Ummm I-I-I got it....."
Without waiting for a reply the dragon dove towards the ore and grabbed it, with Vincent plummetting to the bottom of the cave, and hurting himself badly on the rocks at the bottom. Vincent tried to get up and run but to no avail, the dragon had a tight grip on his leg. Galtog's eyes shone with greed, Vincent could have sworn there was a change in colour.
Vincent knew that now he had to act fast, or his death wst approaching. Suddenly Galtog spoke again. "Shoul I kill you, no, you scratched me on the belly afterall, I don't think I will. Instead I will leave you here, you no good human. You will never get out!!!"
Vincent could not let Galtog simply fly out of the cave. Without even thinking Vincent threw the dice up into the exit of the cave. The dice hit a rock on its way up, and just as Galtog was about to fly through the opening, a portal was formed in it's place, covering the entire shaft. Galtog flew right through the portal. "I don't think I'll be seeing him again," said Vincent as hepicked up his dice....
Posted by: WD40
Vincent decided to explore the cave, a good idea now that he was stuck in it. It didnt seem to go very deep. Vincent didnt have much light, but he saw a suspicious part of the cave wall. Pushing on it he found that the wall was weak and fell apart easily to reveal a new path. Walking down the new corridor he was surprised to see...

Vincent looked beyond Powers to see that the cave was a photography room. Models were waiting for Powers to take...interesting...pictures of them. Powers turned back to his work, shouting "Yeah baby Yeah"
Vincent decided to use the door in the side of the wall marked "EXIT"
Leaving Austin "Danger" Powers behind, on the other side of the door Vincent found...
Posted by: Xtren
... exactly what he had been looking for, the outside wall of the cave. He was finally free!.... except for the fact that he now seemed to be surrounded by a very tall fence. Vincent decided he should examine it before he climbed up. There was a sign on the fence that said "Danger: High Voltage".
'Hmm' thought Vincent, 'maybe I should go back inside..... it appears that this isn't the right way out'.
With that Vincent headed back towards the door he had come out of. However, it appeared the door was locked.....
Posted by: WD40
Vincent turned to the fence. He threw a rock at the top. The rock made a loud "KZZZzzzTT!" and fell back to the ground, thoroughly charred. The fence was electrified, that much was for certain. Vincent would have to find some way to get past. Looking through a gap in the fence where the fence met the wall he found a strange box on the other side of the fence. It had a switch on it. Vincent realized that this box was the power switch for the fence. If only there was some way he could turn the switch from his side of the fence...
Posted by: Xtren
..... Vincent, who was never good in Science, failed to notice that there were lots of fairly long sticks lying on the ground, which could have easily flipped the switch. He spent a vary long time thinking over his situation but the only conclusion he could come to was to pick up a rock and wip it at the switch. He thought this would be the safest approach to take.
However, Vincent's aim rivaled that of a four-year-old, and he could not hit the switch for anything. His rocks would always hit the fence. Finally he decided that the fact that he was standing about thirty feet away might have something to do with it. He moved as close to the fence as he could without touching it. He wipped the rock at the switch but it hit the fence again, bouncing off right into his chest. This knocked the wind out of Vincent for a little while, and he decided not to stand so close anymore.
Finally Vincent picked out the perfect range.....
Posted by: The_Turks(ff7)
Finally Vincent picked out the perfect range.....
but the switch was too rusted to move. Agravated, Vincent uses his blind rage of not turning the switch, and charges the fence and at the last second try to jump. Vincent somehow knew he wouldnt make it even his blind rage doesnt block that, but to his surprise he clears a 4 foot fence in a single bound.
Vincent is puzzled at how this happened but quickly changes his mind when an alarm goes off. He runs to the wilderness hearing the sounds of barking dogs and gunfire. Vincent gets nicked by a bullet in the side of his knee. Vincent knowing that he wasnt gonna make it since he was hit in such a vital area, uses the dice to create another portal hopefully to sanctuary....
Posted by: Xtren
.... Vincent quickly runs through the portal only to find himself in a giant cage, with a sleeping lion. By the sound of the music around him he is in a circus.
Vincent however doesn't notice the lion for quite a while. He's much more aggriviated that he is stuck in a cage than anything else. Then he hears a low growling, and he quickly turns. There, three feet in front of him is none other than the lion, who is still twisting and turning in his sleep.
Vincent cannot think of anything to do. He starts desperately panicking, and starts ripping his hair out one at a time. By the time someone from the staff comes by he is almost bald.
'Oh, you must be doing the lion act. I see you are getting along quite well with the animals. Would you like to come out and have coffe with the rest of us before the show?'
'Yes!' Vincent replies eagerly. He doesn't know what he is going to do about the show at this point but at least he can get out of this cage.
The man opens the cage door and Vincent leaps out and starts running. This scares the sleeping lion so bad that it grabs the man who opened the cage and devours him into pieces. Vincent runs out of the exit without thinking, and finds himself.....

Vincent runs out of the exit without thinking, and finds himself.....Wishing he had rolled his intelligance stat better when he was born. As he's running past the other caged animals he hears men shouting at him, "Come back, we have a show to do." Vincent in his panic wants to get out of here as fast a possible. But that lion...after having devoured the man that opened his cage, the lion makes a wild break from his cage and starts chasing Vincent. However, Vincent finally lands a break. He decides to open the other cages in the hope of diverting the lion's attention. Soon there were monkeys, tigers, elephants, camels and horses running wildly in every direction. Aaaaahhhh, that should take care of that lion, thought Vincent. Just then he spotted the exit from the big top, and strolled as swiftly as he could from the circus tent. The circus seemed to have a carnival with it as well, judging from all the people eating cotton candy and ice cream. Hmmmmm, all this food was making Vincent hungry. He walks up to the nearest vendor only to find that he has no money in his pocket. Vincent, looking quite sullen by this time, watches the children and parents eating all the lovely treats. Just then Vincent collides with another person, nearly bowling them over. "Oh, excuse me, says Vincent, "I didn't even see you there." When Vincent looks down at the person he realizes that person is a she. A very lovely she. Vincent opens his mouth to speak and nervously says....

"... starry starry night..
paint my palette blue and gray
look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the darkness in your soul
shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and daffodils
catch the breeze and winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land
now you understand
what I tried to say to you
and how I suffered for my sanity
and how I tried to set them free
they would not listen, they did not know how
perhaps they'll listen now ..."
It was then that the "she" suddenly exclaimed...

"i am the queen of the night, and you are my newest minion". she then takes vincent by the arm and leads him off into the dark forest that surrounds the circus of the damned. The wolves howl, the crickets chirp. Vincent, being a child of the city, is unnerved by all this. He begins to cry. As he cries, he spouts more poetry....

.... as he stealthily makes his way into an obscure orifice in the circus of the damned ... he notices the vile stench of sewage (and other things) as he crawled through the murky, constricted tunnel ... and when he reached the end, he threw away his dirty clothes and his rock hammer (w00t!), and swam across the dirty pond to safety, while singing:
"... bye, bye miss american pie
drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
and good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die ..."
But, as Vincent stood up and prepared to make a break for it....

The Queen shot blue lightning bolts from her hand, stunning Vincent and causing him to gurgle and spit water as he tried to keep his head above the water. He slowly began sinking under the dark water. It rolled over his head and he thought for sure this time he was going to die. Just as he had given up hope he'd ever get home again, something began to push his feet up to towards the surface of the water. Vincent gasped for air as his head punctured the water surface and he turned to look at what had just saved him. To his amazment it was....

Don Mclean in scuba gear!
After Mister Mclean came ashore, his guitar still on his back, he told Vincent, "Hey there, Vincent, my name is Scuba Sam, I'm Scuba Steve's father! Now I'm having a problem with my son coz he doesn't want to take a bath alone, and his grades are low! So if you wanna be part of the Scuba Squad, you have to take a bath (coz you stink) and you have to study .. but you can't tell anyone that you're part of the Scuba Squad, coz then everyone will wanna join!"
As Vincent stared open-mouthed at the stranger with the guitar, Don Mclean walked away, but not before saying "hey, thanks for singing my song, by the way ... and that starry starry night crap you sang, I found those pretty good ... maybe I'll make that into a song and name it after ya..."
At that, Don Mclean slowly faded into the forest, and Vincent was left with nothing else to say but...

"Where am I?"
Queeny appeared before him. "tsk, tsk child. you should know better than that. youll catch a cold, or more likely diptheria, given that you just went for a paddle in sewage. we cant have that." with that, she lifts him into the sky, and flys swiftly towards an ominous castle perched on a mountain that is silloutted against the moon. as it draws near, he notices other creatures flying about the edifice. finally, they begin to descend, and eventually land in a courtyard. An astonishingly attractive man approaches them, and leads Vincent off. as nothing has been spoken, vincent inquires as to thier destination. "you need a shower, several in fact" replies the stud, who informs vincent that he may call him stan. "Lucretia prefers her human servants clean, as she has an excellent sense of smell" he adds.
Posted by: Aeris_Flame
"Lucretia?" replies Vincent. "Is that her name? What does she want with me?" Stan says,"That is her name and I don't know what in the world she could possibly want with YOU." Without another word Stan leads Vincent to the bathing pool. There are six beautiful women in light flowy gowns waiting for him. "Come in and lets us wash you." they chorus together. Vincent gladly joins the young ladies in the pool, only to realize to late that....

...this was all a part of a surreal dream that was set in the backdrop of a Megadeth song...
...hypnosis guides my hand
I slipslide through the walkways
sit in granny's rockin' chair
memories are whirling by yeah
reminisce in the attic
Lucretia waits impatiently
cobwebs make me squint
the cobra so eloquently glints
moonbeams surge through the sky
the crystal ball's energized
surely that like the cat waiting
Lucretia rocks away...
It was then that the women turned into vile monstrosities that cannot be described even by the most ardent Lovecraftian poet ... However, Vincent, remembering the words of Scuba Sam (Scuba Steve's father), calmy said...
Posted by: redwench
"I always thought we'd be together
And that our love could not be better
Well with no warning you were gone
I still don't know what went wrong
You don't know what I've been through
Just want to put my love in you
No more nights
of blood & fire
All those special memories
Now I bleed for you - burn for me
Perhaps I was just dreaming
When I think these things had real meaning
You don't know what I've been through
Just want to put my love in you
Love eternal
Lust infernal
Bleeding, burning
Needing, yearning
I see your face in every flame
With no answers I have only myself to blame
Of all the women I have know - they're not you
I'd rather be alone"
Vincent then picked up the soap and began to scrub the filth off his body.
Posted by: Aeris_Flame
The women, perplexed at Vincent's calm reply and casual disintrest in their hideous exteriors, began to help him scrub himself clean. When Vincent had finished his bath, the women changed back to thier lovely selves and said "You've passed our test, for this we give you our blessing and this." One of the women steeped forward, outstreching her hand. In her palm was more of that red veined green ore. Before Vincent could ask then ladies what the ore was, they vanished. Stan reenters the room and says...

..... 'Now I will take you back to Lucretia. She want's to talk to you..... However I would advise you to keep quiet, when people disagree with her she tends to get angry and take her wrath out on me. Believe me, it is very easy to disagree with her, she's just that type of person, but if I get hurt this time because of you, you'll pay, just ask the last guy that went in to talk to her.... if you can dig him up.'
Vincent looked at Stan, terrified, and really longing for his mother now. He continued to follow Stan but said nothing more until they came to Lucretia.
'Welcome, I've been waiting for you,' she said, 'Stan, I want to be alone with Vincent, so please leave.'
'A-a-a-alone?!!!' said Vincent. Stan gave him a startling look.
'Yes... is there a problem?' asked Lucretia.
A terrified Vincent replied then calmly, 'The honor is just so breathtaking. I-I-I am astounded that you would even consider my presence, how can I repay you for this kindness?'
Lucretia looked at him thoughfully. 'You're right, you're a filthy animal, why did I even consider having you in my presence. Be gone with him Stan, at once!'
With that Stan picked Vincent up by the ear and tugged him away....

*Off topic*
I just wanted to say you guys are really making this difficult for poor Vincent, but what a laugh! Everytime I try to write him out of a hole, someone digs him another one! LOL You guys are really making this an excellent story. I appreciate everyone that has found and intrest in this story and all those who chose to be a part of it. Thank you. *End of Off Topic Note*
Stan yanked Vincent out the door and drug him down the narrow hallway. As he was being yanked along by his ear, Vincent barely had time to notice the cells he was passing. He did, however, catch a glimpse into one cell, it was Barret! He forcefully whirrled around and nearly ripped his ear off in the process. Startled, Stan let go of Vincent and then a magic circle, marking an arena, formed on the stone floor. Vincent and Stan entered the circle and the fight started. Stan whapped Vincent across the face, while he returned with a heavy uppercut to Stan's chin. Soon there was blood running down both their faces. Stan was preparing for a huge jab; but Vincent, who had seen him charging up, Kicked Stan full in the face and the fight was won. Stan hit the floor with a resounding thud. Vincent snatched the keys he discovered on Stan and ran down the hall to unlock Barret's cell. Just then Vincent heard a loud 'SCREECH' and looked up to discover...

a very angry lucretia. "i will not have my human servants fighting! if you cant behave civilly, ill turn you over to one of my lesser vampires to use. " she then snatches the keys and turns vincent back over to stan. "now, youre going to be trained to work in our club in the old quarter. do you think you can manage to behave for a while?" she said sarcasticly.
Posted by: The_Turks(ff7)
Luckily Vincent was sent to Barrets cell. Barret told Vincent that she was acyually a normal person but was treated very badly in her child hood and was confronted by an evil which that told her that she could turn lucretia into a all powerful evil being But there was one way to release her from the spell, at least as the rumors states.
"So basically all we have to do is break the curse and then we will be sent free?" asked Vincent and Barret nodded. They decide to think of away to break the curse, when a blonde austarlian guard comes back and tells them that Lucretia summons both of them for reasons unknown. They follow the guard to Lucretias private room.
The guard says, "No funny business and the slightest scream from Lucretia i will go in there and kick yuor arse so hard you will kiss the moons!" and she pushes them in the room like slaves.
Posted by: WD40
Lucretia watches from a throne as they are thrust into the room. Vincent politely says "good morning" in an attempt to get on her good side. Lucretai merely nods and begins to talk. "I must explain something to you. . ."
"Well, explain away!" Vincent declares.
"Fine then, as you know, I live in this lonely castle alone except for the people i have made my slaves. I havent had any real visitors in years, and I want a person to come occasionally, even a solicitor. However no one has come here in two years. This is bad for a queen like myself who is desperate for a king..." Lucretia smiles at them as she says this last sentence.
Vincent stares at her, puzzled. She continues, "So i guess I must do with what is given to me. But I like you both...heheheeeee"
Vincent can hear Barret gulp in fear.
"Therefore I will have you two fight each other in a special arena. Whoever wins shall have me!"
Vincent and Barret exchange incredulous glances.
"Oh, and I'll have you know, this duel will be to the death!" Lucretia cackles evilly as the two men cower before her...
Posted by: Xtren
"Ummm... In a traditional fight to the death the combatants need weapons.... it says so in page 13 of the beginnners' handbook." said Vincent immediately.
"Yes, yes," said Lucretia, "Vincent gets the longsword.... and Barret you can have..... this mace. Now I think you are armed sufficiently.... any more interruptions before the fight commences?"
"Yes!," and suddenly a man appeared in front of Lucretia, "I am Scuba Sam, Scuba Steve's father, and I am here to take away Vincent for his first Scuba Camp. The rest of the Scuba Squad will attend the camp, and it is absolutely 100% necessary that Vincent does not miss out."
"Aww," said Lucretia, "I was looking forward to the fight. I guess I will have to marry Barret. Well... see you later Vincent."
Before Vincent could open his mouth and argue Scuba Sam dragged him along and enlocked him in the most idiotic of conversations....

Before Vincent could open his mouth and argue Scuba Sam dragged him along and enlocked him in the most idiotic of conversations....
Which Vincent Promptly ignores, he nods every now and then but says nothing. All Vincent knew was that he could have married Lucretia but this stupid idiotic old man in a scuba outfit screwed it all up for him. Vinvent could either ditch Scuba Sam and return and hope to defeat Barret in a death match and then marry Lucretia or he could go along with Scuba Sam and participate in something he doesnt even care about. Hmmm...descisions, decisions. Vincent decides to go back to the castle. He sees vines on trees that could be used to tie Scuba Sam up. He goes over to one of those trees and takes the vine. He then ties Scuba Sam. Scuba Sam oblivious to what Vincent is doing continues the idiotic ranting. Vincent then goes back to the Lucretia's castle.
"Oh goody, your back. Now kill your friend!" was the greeting Lucretia gave him. A quick transition and then the throne room miraculously turns into a battle arena.
Vincent knows that even if he kills Barret, he could simply use a Phoenix Down (or Fenix Down if you prefer old school) and revive Barret. When Barret and Vincent get close enough together Vincent tells this to Barret and they both agree to revive which ever die. Thus the battle to the death commences....
Posted by: Xtren
.... Vincent trips Barret immediately, the huge mass hits the ground with a loud thump. Vincent then jumped on his stomach and started punching him in the face repeatedly. Vincent's punches however were relatively weak, and rather than stab him with his sword he continued to issue the gentle beating on Barret's giant body.
Barret started to laugh. He picked Vincent up by the hair and threw him accross the arena.Vincent hit the ground hard, he just didn't have the stuff to take Barret. Was all hope over? He could really use some help....
Posted by: redwench
but wasnt going to get it. he considered his options: die or kill barret. even if he could be sure of being resurrected, dying wasnt high on his list of pleasurable things to do. so kill barret it was. Vincent takes the longsword and slips it under barrets guard, killing him. Lucretia smiled with pleasure and said......
Posted by: The_Turks(ff7)
rather starting to say something but realized that somehow barret wasnt really dying in was a clone of barret the real barret was standing a few paces away but just then Scuba Sam comes and starts beating up Barret for beating the crap out of his student Vincent. Scuba Sam kills Barret and then the battle is over.
"Wait a damn minute! Only one can marry me. You two must fight now! Dont bring any one else in it." Lucretia says.
So then the transition deal and then the morph and the battle between Scuba Sam and Vincent begins. Vincent having despised Scuba Sam immediately charges, sword raised at Scuba Sam. Scuba Sam runs away from the battle and Vincent has won and now has to marry Lucretia. But then a tall sinister man with green eyes grayish white long hair wearing a black cape. The 'Man with the black cape' walks toward Lucretia. He says...
Posted by: Xtren
.... "Your battling system is messed up M'am. Barret was killed twice, first by Vincent, then by Scuba Sam. I am here to fix your problem." The Man in the Black Cape took out a VCR Controller and clicked the rewind button. When everything got back to normal Vincent was alone with Lucretia and Barret was on the floor dead. No one else was to be seen.
"A peculiar way to finish a battle... but anyway, now we are married and we will live unhappily ever after, and die and go to hell together too...." said Lucretia, "Now let me take out my rulebook and we will go threw all the house rules one at a time. These are things you can and cannot do while married to me......"
Posted by: redwench
a butler came in and announced "mistress, an ambassador from the toronto clan has arrived. which suite should he be given?" Lucretia ponders this question, and finally answers "i think the green suite would be best."
the man bows and walks out again. stan comes in and leads Vincent off to the baths again. Lucretia indicates that she expects him at the dinner later that day. until then he is to get clean and sleep. as he is positively exhausted from his exploits, Vincent certainly wont argue with that. he stumbles along after stan, having trouble focusing his vision, such is his tiredness.
after the bath, he falls into a deep sleep on a bed he barely notices. after sleeping for many hours, he awakens in the twilight to.......
Posted by: Xtren
..... See a very angry Lucretia glaring at him. "You were late!" she screams, "Your insolence is above any I have ever seen, I thought you could be a good husband, but no! You had to blow everything again. As a penalty tomorrow you will sleep on the floor while I have the bed to myself."
Vincent gave a huge sigh of relief and then apologized, though he was actually rather happy that he had missed the meal, because he had no clue what kind of food Lucretia eats, and he didn't really want to find out either.
As Lucretia finally left the room he realized something, he had forgot to revive Barret! Now he didn't know where Barret was, and he certainly couldn't just let him stay dead and get thrown away into some pit full of carnevaurous monsters. Thus the search for Barret resumed.....
Posted by: Storm_Shot
Thus the search for Barret resumed.....
Or so he thought, for at that moment, the ore he still had in his pocket leapt out onto the ground! It started pulsing more and more, faster and faster. Finally the veins came partially unnattached, and grew and hardened into six thin spider-like legs! The rock-spider hissed at him and ran off, and Vincent knew that he hadn't seen the last of these ore-creatures. Just then as he was wandering off, he tripped over Barrets corpse, which had been left in front of his room for some unexplained reason. The pheonix down, not caring how it was spelled, and quite fed up with being kept in a pocket for so long, promptly fell out and splashed all over Barret. As Barret started to rise onto his hands and knees, he said....
Posted by: redwench
"blah. why does it seem as if im in a story written by several different violent 14 year olds? im outta here before something else hurts me. " with this, barret ran out of the castle, never to be seen again. Vincent shrugged and checked his watch. hmmm, almost dinner time. he heads downstairs to see what the dining hall has in store.
Posted by: Xtren
...... Vincent found that the hall was heavily guarded. There were two guards at the entrance of the hall, both picking at their toenails, plus there were five more guards sitting in chairs and picking at their toenails as well. Vincent soon let the thought of escape slip out of his mind.
As Vincent walked in through the entrance one of the "guards" stopped him and said, "Hey you are Lucretia's husband, I feel your pain buddy. I'm one of her close friends.... well she likes me.... but I hate her."
"So here friends are guards? That has to suck."
"Guards hell no! We just wear this armor and look like guards because it makes her feel important somehow. We all develop this toe fungus from these boots too, I wish I had never come here in the first place, what rotten luck must have befell me!"
With that Vincent walked by, now that he knew a little more about the state of Lucretia's friends he made up his mind that he was going to leave, and never return....

With that Vincent walked by, now that he knew a little more about the state of Lucretia's friends he made up his mind that he was going to leave, and never return....
but then he remembered that Lucretia is under some really lame curse and that if he broke it he would be able to save himself, Lucretia, and the so-called "guards." So then Vincent goes to the bed room and abruptly stops because the door is broken into and he sees the rock monster and it charges him. Vincent easily dispatches the rock monster with a kick and his toes hurt now and he took 2 points damage. Then something weird happened and then he noticed the room changed from beutiful to quite ugly looking, he wondered what the hell happened.
"WTF?"....
Posted by: Rayneeday
Vincent noticed the previously lovely room was now quite ugly, being carpeted in a nauseatingly orange shag and papered in a truly horrible brown and green patterned wallpaper. And the furniture had turned into awfull black and chrome leather with red accent pillows.
"Oh, this is just hiddeous. Who ever did the decorating in here?" he cried, not realizing that Lucretia was behind him.
"You big oaf, I did the decorating and i will thank you not to criticize what took me months to do. Now, have you taken out the trash like i told you to? I knew i shouldnt have married you just like my mother said. But Nooooo, i had to have you, so you are going to shape up and be a good husband or else!"
Vincent, realizing that he had made a serious faux pas by criticizing his new wifes' taste in decorating and that he would probably never win an argument with her replied........

Vincent, realizing that he had made a serious faux pas by criticizing his new wifes' taste in decorating and that he would probably never win an argument with her replied........
"WTF just happened? This whole building was like a castle and now its like a fricking shack."
Lucretia however was also changing. Now she looked more attracrive somehow. Vincent figured that he must have broken the curse. Sure enough he did.
"Aww dang you broke the curse. Now I am more pretty and not evil. God that kinda sux. O well what can i do?"
So now Vincent lost a friend, but gained a beutiful wife but still didnt know where the hell he was...

... or WHO he was, which prompted him to question his identity, and delve into the deeper recesses of his inner child in a quaint and prodigious manner that can rival even Freud's most insidious, phallic and prophylactic meditations. It was then that Vincent decided he needed a new image, and a new name... from now on, he would answer only to the name of John Coffey (like the drink, but spelled differently)...
So John Coffey turned to his wife and said...

So John Coffey turned to his wife and said......
"I'm so sorry i insulted you, my lovely little flower of a wife. The house is as beautiful as you are. Now I am going out to find a job so I can support you in the style which you had become accustomed to."
Now that he had found his true name he realized what a waste his previous life had been and that he was meant for better things than chasing monsters and evil creatures. His new goal in life was to figure out what the little ore creatures really were and why the dragon had turned on him because of them. But there was this little matter of his marriage to the beautiful but now burdensome wife. It seemed most of her intelligence had left her with the breaking of her spell of evil. She really wasnt all that bright, but a sweet and loving creature; she really deserved someone who would cherish her more than he would.
So the newly reborn Jonh Coffey decided he would free himself of his wife by . . . . .

Going to the "guards" and having one of them help him fake his death. If he could convince his wife that he was dead, she'd mourn and move on and he could have his life back. As he was walking down the hallway, he heard a strange hissing sound. John whipped around to find that ore spider behind him. Just as he was about to run, the ore spider charged him, wrapping its long spindly legs around John's neck and crushing his throat. As John lost conciousness, he heard a roar of unimaginable force. Slowly John regained conciuosness , only to find the dragon had him gripped between his jaws, and they were flying 500 feet above the ground. When he discovered this, John began to struggle. The dragon (being able to speak directly into his mind) said "Stop struggling, unless you want me to drop you. I'm not going to eat you, remember? Humans taste gross. I just saved your life you know." John was confused, was this the same dragon that had turned on him? He certainly looked the same, and spoke the same, but he wasn't angry. Just then a huge gust of wind battered at the dragon's wings turning them over and over in the air. There was something up ahead that was generating all the wind. John squinted to see but it was too bright. Suddenly another dragon rushed upon John. The bright shiny thing up ahead shot something at them. 'Now I'm in trouble!' thought John. Who was this other dragon? And what was that shiny thing? John was so frightened he passed out, only to open his eyes a few minutes later to discover...

John was so frightened he passed out, only to open his eyes a few minutes later to discover...
That the new dragon was apparently the other one's mate. "Whatcha got there honey?" John heard in his mind, but he quickly realized it wasn't directed at him.
"I believe this human is the reason for it all..." the one carrying John replied, very non-specifically, for what John knew. John attempted to ask the dragons questions, but they were in a debate over something that John just didn't understand.
Soon they reached a rocky ledge, which seemed to be the dragons' destination...
Posted by: Xtren
..... The dragon dropped him and John fell with a hard thud. "What was that for?" he asked, but the dragon just hissed in return. He heard a voice in his mind: "Hey, my back hurts, you humans ain't no light buggers, full of bone, I can't always carry your lazy arse around, I've already saved your life you know."
John of course took this comment quite well after thinking it over, the dragon did make some good points. However now that they had reached their destination, or at least the dragon's destination, John had other things on his mind. It was obvious that the dragon wasn't going to harm him, but he still didn't know why he was being brought here or what was going to happen next. As far as he was concerned anything could come of this, afterall his last few days had taken some nasty turns.
Suddenly a thought came to John's mind. The Dice! He could use them agin if he wanted to. Maybe while the dragon wasn't looking he could sneek away. He didn't like the tension in the air, he would deffinitely feel safer if he was somewhere else... away from the dragon's reach......

He didn't like the tension in the air, he would deffinitely feel safer if he was somewhere else... away from the dragon's reach......
he rolled the dice and got a 20, his luck had been good for a few times now, and it created a portal. He goes thru the portal and sees to his dismay he was back in the building with CATS.
"Damn," Vincent/John muttered.
"Welcome back" said CATS. "It nice is to see you again. And escape dont this time!"
John had good luck with the dice so he hurriedly grabs them from his pocket to roll them but one of CATS's guards grabs them from him. John was finnaly out of luck....
Posted by: WD40
At least CATS gave John a reasonable amount of freedom. John was free to move around the whole building, but he had a buff guard with a nearly unpronouncable name following him like his own shadow, preventing him from jumping the guards at the building's entrance. John explored the building yet again, but avoided the ventilation shaft that he remembered would bring him to the dwarves. He eventually found a door that said "KEEP OUT" in big, bold letters. Natural curiousity made him want to see what was inside. He touched the handle, expecting his guard to stop him. However the guard was just silently watching him. John opened the door...

However the guard was just silently watching him. John opened the door...
and saw a whole room filled with that pulsating ore, some small wuthout legs, some large with legs.
"What the hell are those things?" John asks the buff dude, but the buff dude gives no answer. One large Pulsating ore lunges forward toward John, but he dodges it and the ore collides with the buff man, hopefully knocking the wind from him.
"OMFG IT HURTS!!" cried Buffman. Apparently he only looked buff but in reality he was actually some weakling.
John took the chance while Buffman was fighting the ore, to run back to the ventilation shaft to the dwarves. The dwarves were still mining for the ore. John casually asked what they were mining for. The dwarves, as in a trance, would not answer. John decides to go to the room where he met Redwench and collides into CATS.
CATS asks "Is guard where your?" John having know idea what the hell this freaky, speach impaired cyborg meant says. CATS asks the question again this time to John astonishment, the words were in the right order!
John quickly comes up with a lie and says he was looking for help since Buffman was attacked. CATS follows john to Buffman and...

CATS the says, "Are these his pets? The filthy scoundrel, I was going to fire him after he brought in that purple vampire squirrel last weak, I should have known." With that CATS suck his arm into the ores and pulled Buffman up, he then began dragging him towards the exit. "Follow me," he said to John, and they exited the building.....
Posted by: WD40
Once they were safely outside, CATS decided that they should help Buffman out by prying off the rock creatures from his legs.
"Get me mine crowbar, it in the building is. My office."
John took a minute figuring this out, but then he went into the building and quickly found the crowbar. As he came back down he heard a strange screech, it wasnt pleasant to his ears.
"ARRGH! Get off are me!"
John left the building and saw that CATS had attempted to go ahead and try to pry the rocks off without a crowbar, however the little monsters had decided, when taken from Buffman, to cling to CATS. The rocks weighed CATS's arms down, and he couldnt lift them at all.
CATS yelled at John "Help my out!"
John realized this was his chance to escape, but he had a nice set of morals on him so he helped CATS and pried the rock monsters off of him. The monsters stayed on the crowbar. But as CATS was about to thank John, John hit him hard over the head. CATS was safe, and now John could escape. But when John turned to escape he found himself staring into the eyes of Buffman...

A very unhappy Buffman, from the looks of it... He grabbed John by his collar, grunted, and then he morphed. He was that grotesque dark creature, the one from the dwarves' mines. "So, John, I have you at last," the Dark Archon says. "I am Scorpius...I have been watching you, and you have something I want." At this, John is totally astonished, as he no longer has anything in his pockets. His dice were taken away, the other various objects he did have had long since fallen from his pockets, having been thrown, beaten and hurled so many times. Scorpious obviously guessed what John was thinking and said, "No, you dolt, nothing like that. What I want is in your head, John. I see you have met my pets," the Dark Archon explains. And with that the ore spiders morphed as well. Their long legs grew longer, the ore bodies engorging with the blood from Buffman/Scorpius. They mutated and elongated to form those mindless dwarves John saw through the shaft. "Ahhh, so now you see," Scorpius replies to John's astonished look. "The more blood they consume, the more mindless they become. They continually spawn and soon I will take over the whole of Midgar with my mindless soldiers. Now, for what I want from you, John...." Scorpius throws John against a tree and as usual, John falls unconcious. Scorpius strides over to John, leans over him and pulls a pencil shaped object from a hidden pocket. He points it at John's head and a low hum emits from the pencil-thing. Just as Scorpius is about to touch it to John's scalp, Galtog the dragon and his mate swoop down and grab Scorpius. Galtog carries Scorpius in the air under the pretense of disposing him (I suppose), when at that moment...

CATS woke up, very angry, and with a huge headache. He quickly surveyed the scene, obviously not liking what he saw, and yelled, "For great justice! Take off every Zig!" For a moment everything was silent, then a rumbling shook the eart under them all, and great winds forced the dragons to try to land. Galtog's mate got down fine, but while Galtog was tossing Scorpius into a nearby tree, he was hit by a sudden gust of wind. He flipped over and smashed into a tree, dazed but not really hurt. Just then flying over the horizon came waves and waves of...

...... Purple seagulls which have no purpose whatsoever in this story. The seagulls simply flew by distracting everyone and gave enough time for John to quickly run back into the building and up the ventilation shaft where the dwarves were mining for ore. He started crawling maddly through theshaft until he finally came to an exit. He was safe from CATS and the buffman now but what he saw ahead was not very pretty.....

He was safe from CATS and the buffman now but what he saw ahead was not very pretty.....
There were those dwarves mining for the ore, but then the the whole mountain, where the dwarves were mining, shook. A huge green ore monster crwaled out of the mountain. Now John had something much bigger then Scorpius or CATS to worry about. John quickly dashed between the ore monsters legs, err if you could call them that. They were more like tree trunks and the ore monster thing tried to step on John, but he was too slow. John was now running in terror for his life and looked back to see if the ore monster was gaining on him. As he wasn't watching where he was going, John fell of a cliff in the mountain side, and actually prayed fro his death on the way down. "Anything has to be better then this," he thought. John was snatched up as from a hand of God, but no, it was only a tree, caught on his jacket. Dangling like a fishing lure, John waited. "I know this can't be it, something bad is bound to happen." this being said, John looked around for a way to safely get down from the tree...
Posted by: The_Turks(ff7)
and he saw the shape shifter.
"Heh, I told you that you would get into trouble."
the shape shifter helps John down from the tree.
"Thank you again for saving me shape shifting guy" said John.
"I feel I should travel with you to avoid danger which you have gotten into so many times before."
So then John and the shapeshifter have joined forces and will try to figure out what those ore things are.
But the road ahead will not be easy for them because alrady CATS and the ore monsters and Scorpios are joining forces too...
Posted by: WD40
Now on the mountain side, the two allies planned their next move.
"So what's our next move?" John predictably asked.
But the ShapeShifter wasnt listening to him. He had changed into the form of a wolf and his ears were moving. He was listening to something. John decided to hush up, this might be important. Joh waited for what seemed like hours until finally the wolfman said "Sorry, what did you say I was zoning out. The calls of the wildlife are so intriging." John sighed.
"I said, what do we do now?"
The wolfman replied, "No I believe you said 'what's our next move'".
John, exasperated, yelled "I though you werent listening?"
At that the wolfman smirked, "I was only testing you. Anyway we should find a place to camp for the night. You look around while I search for something to eat."
With that the wolfman disappeared into the greenery and John was left alone...
Posted by: Xtren
..... John began looking for a place to spend the night. He tried not to wander too far away though, he was scared of the dark and that fear had always been with him. He didn't feel very safe alone, and after a long search he finally found a place under a huge oak tree that looked satisfactory. John curled up into a ball and quickly fell asleep.
He woke up the next morning, alone once again. To his astonishment he found a note pinned to the tree. It was from CATS and it said that he was holding the shapeshifter ransom and demanded John's dice in order for him to be released. What could he do now?.....
Posted by: Atlas4
He could only sit, and listen to a rumbling coming from far away. He saw a mushroom cloud in the distance, and he knew what had happened. Nuclear war had broke out, and before he could stop it, he was vaporized. Along with everything else in the world. In fact, the universe imploded. There was nothing for the rest of eternity.
THE END

But then John woke up. What a messed up dream!
How could CATS want the dice for the shapshifter, did't CATS already have the dice? And nuclear war...well John didn't even want to delve into that.
John shook his head and looked around. He saw he was still under the tree. There was a small campfire burning nearby and John wondered who had lit it. There was a whole basketfull of berries near him.
"Eat up, you must be famished" John heard. Looking up he saw an owl in the tree. It was the shape shifter. At that John ate like he had never eaten before. He really gorged himself on the sweet fruit.
While he ate the shapeshifter had come down and was now once again in human form. The shapeshifter then told him...

Killing me wont stop the thread and i think i wish you were banned yesterday instead of warned. Any ways...
John saw the giant and knew it was going to kill him and the shapeshifter. However the giant was actually sent by the dragons to protect John from being killed by CATS and random nuke attempts even thogh nukes dont exist in this story...

The polar ice caps never melted it was a mirage. how the hell can a perfectly good planets core explode, and the plague was stopped by John who had taken plague resistant berries. The population of earth was not effected by the plague in any way in fact the "plague" was the common flu. And then CATS walked up to John and said if he were to come willingly he would let him have all the ore he wanted. John declined. CATS was evil and John knew it so he couldnt trust him. CATS walks back over to his allies and...

CATS said to his lead general, buffman, that this would be a hard victory. However CATS did have the Archon.
The Archon mind controlled a passing bird because it was bored. The dumb thing, now it was out of energy and not much of a threat. CATS sent the bird after the giant it was small and could possibly peck out its eyes.
But back at home base with John...

.... John woke from an awful sleep, "What a bad dream," he thought. He now found himself back under that huge tree that he had curled under the other night. Standing above him was the Shapeshifter.
"Come," sad the Shapeshifter, "we have a war to fight against CATS and his companions. You didn't forget did you?"
"No.... I-I-I had the wierdest dream. Anyway, let's go. Where to first?".....

Hey some of us are actually getting a kick out of making John suffer and making him go on the most absurd adventures possible. If this type of thread is not against the rules then continuing the story can't hurt.

"You are still dreaming, I think," said the Shapeshifter, who seems to be slowly dissolving into nothingness as he spoke those words...
John opened his mouth to say something ... perhaps a question, perhaps a cry for help... perhaps even a plea for sanity in what is fast shaping up to be a nightmare upon nightmares, like dreaming he was a raven who dreamed it was a man who dreamed he was a raven who dreamed...
As he slowly opened his eyes from his long slumber for what seemed to be the hundredth time, he looked around and found he was in a field ... a strawberry field ... it feels like he died, but something in his head is saying he is still alive, or somewhere close to it. It felt like the end... it was probably the end... but the end of what? And where did this whole thing begin? Why can there be an end if there is no beginning? The end ... the end is very attractive... the end is like a ripe fruit dangling in front of him but slowly moving away when he came closer .... the end ... he kept hearing the words ... it seems the end is what everybody wants. But why? Why is the end a sought after state of mind? The end of what?
The end the end the end... John kept repeating the words like it was a song ... a song of death? A song of life? A song of undeath and unlife? Why do I keep hearing the words "the end", thought John, as he slowly stood up from the middle of the strawberry field, shaking his head and rubbing his eyes, making sure this was still not a dream...
There has to be something about those words ... the word "the end" ... I have to seach for its meaning ... what is the significance of the end?
It was then that John suddenly realized who he really was ... he was never Vincent ... he was never even John Coffey (y'now, like the drink, only spelled differently) ... he realized that, right here and now, his name was ... Semenelin ...
With newly found strength and determination, Semenelin clenched his fists and vowed to find the real significance of the words "the end"... he knows he will encounter those words every step of the way, but he is prepared for what lies ahead...
Semenelin walked a short distance before he realized that....

he was now a ghost. the universe was no longer. there was no point in going on. it was in fact, the end.

And there it was, that voice saying that word again ... the end ... Semenelin smiled as he realized that the words might be his path to salvation ... but not like he thinks ... he knows he has to perservere, to overcome, to resist ... resist the words ... resist the end... his salvation is the end, the words, the feeling, the state of mind... but the end can also be conniving, and mischievous, and tricky ... Semenelin knows that the end is a test - a test of patience and wit ... he has to find the real one ... a real end ... THE end...
Chuckling to himself, Semenelin ignored the voice and walked tirelessly until he reached...
Posted by: Xtren
..... A strange labarotory. He entered through the front door and after walking through a few hallways he found an open door. He entered the room to find tons of those stupid coals with legs. They were playing with mice, like dogs with their tails, and they made no notion that they knew Semenelin was in the room.
The coals continued to chase the mice around the room. Athought finally came to Semenelin's head. The end would come when everybody was happy. The coals and the rats seemed happy, all he had to do was become happy himself. Semenelin left the laboratory at once, and set off on his quest for happiness.....
Posted by: WD40
It was at this point that Semenelin remembered he had a wife, or used to have a wife. He took time to wonder what had happened to her. Maybe she had remarried when she found out he "died". Or maybe she was grieving. Semenelin felt very guilty for making her mourn his death, but then again she was quite fickle, and probably didnt mourn for long at all. She might have even remarried. Semenelin decided not to worry about her and to worry about himself. If a wife wouldn't bring him happiness, what would....?
Posted by: Xtren
...... Then Semenelin remembered his pet cat, he wondered what had happened to her. Had his wife.... oh no, there he started again with his wife. So Semenelin dropped that subject as well. It was going to be very hard to be happy he decided, because his wife was connected with a lot of things that he used to know, and he really didn't want to think about her, he even began to dispise her. For what reason, we will never know.......
Posted by: WD40
Semenelin decided he needed to find happiness. He had heard of a city to go that sounded entertaining and interesting, and he did have a bit of money on hand, where he got it he didnt know. As he thought of the city it seemed to be calling his name...
That city was . . .
Posted by: Xtren
.... on the other side of the world, and it would take him a very long time to get there. So he prepared himself for the long journey ahead, he had to make sure CATS did not see him, so he took a lot of time to carefully plan out his route.
He would have to endure many hardships, and all this walking made him really feel discouraged about this whole thing. Therefore a very unhappy Semenelin finally set off.

Therefore a very unhappy Semenelin finally set off.
He headed towards the nearest town that just happened to be in the same direction he was going in. But upon reaching it he found it was a coastal city. So the city he needed to reach was across the sea. Going to the docks he found that the tides were low at this time of year, no ships would be leaving the harbor.
How would Semenelin find his way across...
Posted by: Storm_Shot
Just then, sicne he was deep in thought and not looking where he was going, he bumped into someone.
"Hey, watchit!" the person yelled. Semenelin answered, "Oh, sorry, I was deep in thought, my name's Semenelin" "Selmineleen? Sounds like a disease! Ha ha har!" The man shouted, "My names Cid, and since I'm lazy, I'm gonna call you kid. So kid, what can I do for you?"
Semenelin thought for a moment about whether or not he should trust this guy he had just met, but then he realized that thinking too much had already caused him a lot of problems, so he said, "sure, why not? Do you know a way to get across the sea?"
Cid just looked at him for a minute, then burst out laughing, "The sea? The SEA? Hahahahaha! This aint no sea kid! It's a lake! Hahahahaha!"
Semenelin, looked at the water level, 16 feet below the docks, and asked, "then what's with the tide?"
Cid got a dark look on his face and replied, "Aint no tide kid, the water level goes down alright, but it dont come back up. To answer yer question, yeah I can get you across. Was goin' that way anyway. C'mon over here and lookit this." said Cid, leading him toward a large shed, "THIS is how we're gettin' across the sea! And I guarantee it ain't got nothin' to do with any flyin' machine or giant bird! Ha ha har!"
Semenelin walked over to the shed carefully, still not quite trusting Cid. As the doors opened he fell on his arse and scrambled back a few feet, because what he saw was...
Posted by: Xtren
...... his wife. "Aww **** he said, you are the last person I wanted to see!"
His wife, who was indeed very startled looked at him, and then screamed and fainted, she had thought he was dead for quite a while. Semenelin knew this was his only chance to escape her so he started running, leaving his wife, and Cid behind.....
Posted by: The_Turks(ff7)
Semenelin knew this was his only chance to escape her so he started running, leaving his wife, and Cid behind.....
and ran straight into the water, only, it wasnt water. The water was all an illusion and was really a flat walkway. Semenelin, not even realising this, runs for what seems an eternity to get away from his wife. Finally when he runs out of breath he comes to a stop and looks around.
"Why the hell am i walking on the water? Shouldnt i be in the water?" Semenelin said to himself.
He walks for about another few hundred feet and dusk is falling when he realises that he was basically stranded in the middle of no where in what seems like an ocean/lake/body of water, Semenelin thinks to himself if it would be okay to rest. The illusionary water seems very real and who knows if it doesnt just turn real while he was asleep.
Semenelin ponders this while....
Posted by: Xtren
...... he grows more and more weary by the second, until he grows so weary that he .... just.... can't..... take it....... any ..... long and falls fast asleep.
Semenelin slept for what seemed like an incredibly long time to him, a good couple of days in his mind, though he hadn't seen a watch in what seemed like a year now. When Semenelin finally woke up he found himself standing inside a huge lava pit, only the lava wasn't hot, and he was standing right on it without sinking. He decided the sooner he got off the lava the better, so he began to run......

He decided the sooner he got off the lava the better, so he began to run......
while semenilan was running he thought. "WTF is up with this place? If i slept another day what would this graound be?" Semenelin decided not to p[onder this question and focus on running. Semenelin's feet felt like they were 10 as heavy as they were and tripped into the "lava"....
Posted by: Xtren
..... Semenelin couldn't get up, he was too tired. He decided to sit down and catch his breath before he continued on the road to nowhere. As Semenelin was catching his breath a thought came over him..... maybe he wasn't Semenelin afterall. Maybe he wasn't Vincent or John either. He was Ming, yes Ming, that was his name, and it really felt like a keeper.
Suddenly the thought of being called Ming lightened his heart, and gave him new energy. He got to his feet again and started running once more. He also noticed that the lava had changed to clouds, and he was walking on them without falling through. Somehow, the thought that the floor beneath him was made of cloud made him feel safer than before....

Somehow, the thought that the floor beneath him was made of cloud made him feel safer than before....
Looking at the clouds he was on, he realized that there was ground beneath them. He stepped down into the clouds and onto the firm earth. Walking, he tripped again, and fell into some sort of grate spewing out strange gas. Ming suddenly realized that he hadn't walked on clouds/lava/water at all, and that he was was high on the fumes coming out of the grate. He left the fumed area, shaking his head, trying to clear his mind...
Posted by: Xtren
..... When suddenly a giant purple banana wlked by. This startled Ming so much that he fell backwards and almost fainted. However the banana just walked on by and acted as if it didn't notice him. He never saw the banana again.
After this rather peculiar disruption all Ming wanted to do was find a place to sleep......

all Ming wanted to do was find a place to sleep......
He tried to follow the banana, but want of sleep made his mind queasy. He tripped and fell on a pillow, or at least he -thought- it was a pillow. Ming didn't even care, all he wanted was sleep. He laid his head to rest, and that was the last thought on his mind...
Posted by: Xtren
..... Until he woke up to find himself lying in the "Ancestral Pit of the Damned" the next morning. He was incredibly horrified by thesite and started running away, until he realized that there was no way out. The giant pit was surrounded by huge stone walls, and there was no gate either. He had evidently been dropped in here during the night, while he was asleep, but how he didn't know. All there was was a pit, that slowly inclined towards the center. There was no evidence of any life in it, or whether or not anyone had ever inhibited the pit.
The walls around seemed to be made by humans, though you would have thought they would have taken a fair bit of work to complete. Ming was now trapped, without food or drink. He had never been a good rock climber either, and the walls had very few cracks o | |
