Maniac Ranma
FFO Survivor : Dias Flac

There is nothing worse to a warrior than to be helpless, defensless...there is no greater humilitation. Dias had spent the last day forcing his bones to heal and cursing the wierd man who had been protecting him from more dangers than he had encountered in all of his life....but now...
----------------

The campfire crackled and popped and Dias looked up at Tseng who was poking at the flames with a stick.

Tseng glanced at his unlikely charge and mantained eye contact. "It's been a day, Flac. Now it's your turn."

Dias glared at the man and gritted his teeth. Slowly he pushed himself up on his elbows and with a growl jumped to his feet...and stood strong. He was completly healed from his fall into the forest, courtesy a pissed off light. His arm still ached some, but since it had been shattered 12 hours before, that was to be expected.

Tseng raised an eyebrow. "Impressive. That strange magic of your's seems to have healed you. You'll have to teach me that."

Dias could sense the resentment from him and wondered if now that he was better if the they should stay together. It might be best for him to go his own way...Maybe...Maybe later. Dias could still hear the unstopping screams throughout the jungle, and he knew so little of what was happening that it'd be foolish to go his own way now. "It's not a magic. It's a sword technique."

Tseng frowned. "Well, forget it then. I'm not much of one for swords. Too big and clumsy."

Dias pulled his sword out of it's battered sheath and waved it expertly. "Not if you know how to use it." The small area of the forest they were in suddenly glew in the swords light and Dias remembered that this wasn't his runic sword, it was the sword of light...and the Light Being who had brought him here...what he'd said about it being more of a handicap than a weapon....was that what he said? In the subsequent fall to the forest that had earned Dias his other handicap had clouded his mind slightly.

"Normally I'd just leave right now, but...I recently learned that the allies you want the least are usually the most valuable as you can count on them not to do anything stupid....so I say we work together, and try to get out of this mess...alive, preferably."

Tseng almost laughed again. "Alive he says....well, I guess that's a worthwhile goal. Let's get some sleep and get started again tomorrow on finding a way thru this tournament."

Tseng cast a shell spell around the make-shift campsite that would alert them if anyone was cowardly enough to attack them in their sleep. It was more reliable than having someone on guard duty. Plus he was really tired.

They fell asleep quickly and easily despite the screams in the distance....

Izlude - FFO Survivor

Izlude continued his romp through the forest.. scareing and scaring people and monsters for life...

Izlude (singing) : "do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man, do you know the *trips on log* OUCH!"

Izlude stood up only to realize that he had been seperated from ronfar.. and the wine.

he'll be fine... in our current situation.. nothing .. man nor beast can stand before us!

However, there was a problem.. without the wine.. Izlude was getting sober fast, and there were no berries in sight


Best get back to my clothes..

Izlude began leaping...

Minsc: "what is tha..... AHHH, a naked jumping frog man!!"

Izlude was become self aware.. it wasn't long before he reached the camp only to discover..

oh god....

Izlude(shouting): "MY PANTS!!!!!!!!!!"

birds scattered at the sound of his voice, his shout was heard all the way across the Island

Izlude: "!$@^#$%@#$%@# #$%@#$% @#%@##@"

somewhere on the other side of the island, delita heard his voice

Delita: "good lord thats a lot of profanity"

just then Ghaleon came walking up

Nash: "missing something Izlude?"

Izlude: "YES I'M @#$%!$% MISSING SOMETHING... EVERY @#$%@ TIME I GET WASTED MY #$@#$^ PANTS DISSAPEAR!!"

Izlude: "its enough to make a man sober for life"

Nash: "I see.. but eh.. dont count on it"

Ronfar errupted from the bushes, two ladies were throwing stones at him

Ronfar: "i's a long night..but the women didn't complain!"

Izlude: "yes they did... they're throwing rocks at you.."

Ronfar: "oh.. yeah.. hey! .. where are my pants"

Izlude: "beats me.. but you better get used to it.. I have a feeling this is going to happen often when your around me.."

Ronfar: "huh..?"

Nash: "Its almost judgement time boy's.. better get suited up"

Izlude: "ah... right"

Izlude and Ronfar put on their clothes.. with the exception of their missing pants

Izlude, Ronfar, and Ghaleon stood awaiting their judgement... what fate would be awaiting them? ...

Ronfar: "brrrr...."

and dont forget.. they were standing there in their boxers

OOC: just get the picture in your mind of three men standing in a clearing, two in their boxers.. eagerly looking up... and you've got one interesting mental picture

OOC2: Glad you all find this comical... this thing was getting a little too serious.. hope we all make it through this..

Ahhh ... that IS an interesting mental pic.

Er... beware the hinting to but not telling of VP spoilers. (Meaning, if you haven't reached X part, yu'll have NO idea what I'm directly referring to!)

Beware, tis probably a longer post of mine...

Que: Behave Irrationally - VP OST

------
It is only the true nature of a Valkyrie to serve...

She groaned, the pain a dull ache that certainly didn't bode well if she didn't rest. With the help of Jun and Laguna she rose to her feet, her shoulder wound bandaged. Laguna's expression was a bit serious, and she waved off the questions and murmered that she was fine, really.

Her mind was still clouded with her unconscious dreams and thoughts, and they progressed carefull, heading back in the dimness to the temple. Finally, Lenneth leaned against a tree and sighed. She shook her head, her hair swaying like a pennant in the wind.

"You two should go ahead, I'm holding you back," she said. Laguna and Jun both began to protest and the looked at them sharply. "I want you to go ahead and know what's going on. You can tell me in case I miss something."

"Then only one of us should go, your injured still," Jun pointed out.

"I'll be fine, really," she said, "I still have the Shiny Rupture and Levantine. Besides, I need... some time to think alone."

Reluctantly the pair headed off ahead, and she followed behind, close enough in case of trouble, but far enough that she didn't feel impeded by them. She drew out Levantine and looked across its reflective black balde etched with the ancient runes of the past. Nearly no one could decypher the runes of the greatest swords to exist among her realm, not even Odin. No one knew what secrets the blades held within. Some say that the Norns, perhaps, were able to, but no one had been able to get Levantine from the belly of Bloodbane before. Not until-

She sighed, and pushed the memory away. Memories. She hated them all, really, for they often had become the source of her pains. When she remembered at the valley, and she hated to remember the end... Memories were so useless at times, yet if someone could only remember the ancient runes... perhaps it all might have been avoided.

Was that really true? Could such pains always be averted?

No.

She sighed, and sheathed Levantine again. The dark blade was only half the tale - the other remained lost forever to the gods, sealed away for its danger. The Demon Sword and the God Slayer, Dainslef, two swords wich everyone sought, and so few beheld. Perhaps one day the mysteries bound to the swords would finally come clear, but until that day...

------
And THAT is Mintaka's random story arc of the moment. And what scares me is I can USE it. And no, there really weren't any VP spoilers. Hints, maybe, but I didn't SAY anything. Anyway... it eats up a good 15 min. with 15 to go.

Edit 1 & 2: What scares me more is I can't type. I keep spotting typos. o_O;;;

Edit 3: Forgot to say... The MUFFIN MAN song, Izlude?? heh... *giggles*

Crystal Sword
FFO Survivor: Ghaleon

OOC: I thought I would have Ghaleon give back the pants tonight, but why? I imagine, beyond all his fundamentalist seriousness, he has a mischievious spark behind him. I'll give 'em back later.

For my last post, I'm writing in third person for dramatic effect, and just because I feel like it. Good luck to everyone, and may the people who deserve it continue on!

Oh, and whenever someone gets the archives of these posts (and the later ones in the contest), I want them. Please tell me when you get them, okay? Maybe Krizak could publish them online.

-------------

Ghaleon stepped away from the pantless wonders, suppressing a wry grin. The river was strong tonight, he reflected. The stars, though they weren't real, were stunning. Try as he might, Ghaleon could not accustom himself to the lack of the Blue Star dangling in the night sky. Yet its lack lent a strangely peaceful and reflective mood to the scene.

Stepping over to the river, Ghaleon gazed into his reflection, backed by stars. Stars that, while false, seemed so real. And for the first time since that terrible day 15 years ago, Ghaleon stared into his own soul and asked himself who he really was.

Yo, Crystal Sword, I'm probably gonna start snagging pages tomorrow like mad when I get my duff out of bed (early, I hope) and when this is all over, zip it into a zip file for people.

My only trouble is getting a place to put it, depnding on its file size. I may break it up into several zip files just so I can make them managable for slower connections, for 1, and for 2, I can use excess webaspace on several different sites...

Unless Krizak or someone already has this backed up.

*whew* ^^; *passes out* And with the round closed, I shall now go seek sleep so I can get up early and back this up!

Dancing With Myself

Okay, instead of waiting until the next round, I guess I'll start the next chapter of my story now. I know Magus and comedy don't really belong together, but I couldn't resist. Not really blatently funny, but I get a kick out of the some of the reactions these two get from each other. It's just like arguing with yourself, only more literal ;P. I like to think that if Magus were real, he'd be the most sarcastic person alive...actually...he's turning out a bit like Basil Fawlty...

EDIT: Well, round one ended while I was typing. Good job to all those surviving, that's a shame to all those not surviving, and I like peril. This section of story turned out better than I thought it would...
----------------

Magus stared in wonderment at the virtual copy of himself standing before him. "Excuse me, what was that last bit?"

"I'm your soul, it's great to finally meet you. I've been stuck in that death pit of a mindset you've got for a long time."

Magus reached out to feel, to make sure he wasn't dreaming this. His hand passed right through.

"Alright Vante, very funny. Call off your illusion, it's not working. If you want to speak to me, come in person." He turned to walk away.

"Why do you not believe? Are you that cold that you cannot see the truth in my eyes? You've certainly seen enough strange things in this life, why should now be any different?"

"You're not real." Magus wasn't so much telling the figure, but reassuring himself. "If I keep walking, you'll go away and leave me be."

"I'm afraid it doesn't work like that."

Magus stopped in his tracks. Slowly turning, he let out a great sigh. "So, this is real? My god, if it's not one thing, it's another..."

"Hrm, and here I thought you'd be glad to see me. Kind of lets you know that all you went through wasn't for nothing. This proves that you have a soul."

"Yes...well...if you're my soul, shouldn't you be inside me or something? I mean, if you're going to be following me around for the rest of my existence, I'm kind of sorry I bothered."

"Ah, I have no idea why the "evil" half gets to keep the Physical Embodiment...it's such a fool."

"And what exactly do you mean by that?"

"Well, it's quite simple actually. You've always had some good and some evil in you, everyone does really. With all the turmoil you've gone through in life, however, the "evil" part just sort of took over. You were bitter and resentful of how your life turned out, so you took it out on the "good" part, namely, me."

"Stop blathering already and get to the point. I'm very busy you know, a lot of killing to be done and such..."

"Alright, alright. This is what I've had to put up with since you were young. It's all about the "evil" one...Death this, kill that. It gets pretty tiresome, you know? Anyway, when you had that little chat with The Creator, great gal by the way, you sort of let me have a bit more freedom than I previously had. Then, being the control freak that "evil" is, you pushed me back when I got a little too friendly with the Physical Embodiment. In fact, you almost shut me out completely, until that little run in with the beast. Fear breeds a lot of things, desperation mainly. The "evil" knew that by allowing me out would save itself, selfish thing, but here I am."

"So, basically, I shouldn't like you?"

"That's about the gist of it."

"Well, so far so good."

---


So we'll go no more aroving, so late into the night,
Although the heart be still as loving, and the moon be still as bright.
