Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Bonus Round
Ah well... They opened me up, took out some unnecessary stuff that was causing me trouble and then sewed me back up again. They used STAPLES for the incision. I feel like a fucking office supply. BWAH!

(and also, on a side note, synonymous with all this FFOS5 talk about barrels and hamsters that’s somehow connected to Luna and Mintaka even though I don’t know the specifics)


Umm... that's two-fold. Barrels came form Luna carrying tradition after Spadstein sponsored Ashton Anchors (the barrel-field of Star Ocean: The Second Story) in S5. Hamsters started as an innocent VP joke form S5, round 1... and rather carried everywhere after. (Hamsters are the EVILEST things to fight in VP's bonus dungeon. They ARE Satan incarnate. Ugh. Cute, inocent murderers! *ahem*) Lemme think, Round 2 we had a flood of hamsters (with Ronfar/Izlude in a tank), and round 3 saw Loki-Hamster in the sleeping battle-maiden's (Lenneth's) lap. XD Yes, the hamsters are all my fault! Moo.

Ahem. I may go back and revise my votes now that my memory is clearing. This happens when you work on tourney hosting stuff. >_> Your brain instantly forgets things.

Re: Over 1-minute acceptance speech = tranquilizer dart *Fww
Well, i'd be willing to vote, but it has all been said, and the only topics I am certain of won't even be a contest.

Good job all.

I'm going to write now.

"Damn. I hate blinking lights."

Ward shielded his eyes, rotating to survey the room for an exit sign. Halfway through his rotation, his eyes fell upon a energetic sweaty Laguna clumsily dancing his way. Laguna spotted him, than began to dance his direction, stopping twice to glance at women.

"Hey bud. What's wrong?"

"I'm not much of a dancer...

"Your not much a dancer are you?" Laguna smiled, Ward shook his head. "Com'on, i'll show you."

"I'll kill you first...."

"Oh your no fun..."

Ward walked off the floor, pushing through the heavy crowd with his wide sweeping gentle arms, turned in response to a large crash behind him only to spot Laguna sprawled on his back in the middle of a collapsed table. He rose, unsteadily, only to tumble down once again, this time taking a dancing woman with him. Ward smacked his face.

"Least, where ever the hell this is, i won't have to drive him home..."

Ward found his exit, slipping outside to lean against the cool brick wall. He could still feel the music vibration in the wall, and he caught quick glimpses of light and sound as the door opened to let excited party-goers and sweaty party-leavers through.

Then, out of the alleyway shadow's stepped the slim Draconian form, now so often called "Dragonboy" he'd lost most of his mysterious glamour. No matter, he still had all the power over them all. That was respect.

"What's wrong? Party pooper?"

Ward shrugged, he didn't like the blinking lights. The host leaned against the wall next to him.

"You ready to go home?" Ward responded.

"Somewhat."

Ward brandished an astonished look, the host only smiled. The big man felt at his throat, mouth hung open, then pointed at the host with questioning amazement. The host only nodded.

Ward calmed down, satisfied, leaning against the cool brick again.

"So, lets here it. What do you want to talk about? Do you have anything you want to say?" The host asked, impatient.

"Nah. I don't feel like talking."

Ok, Kiss Ward Goodbye.

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Bonus Round
Laguna Loire: B-1

Laguna got up from the floor with a sheepish expression on his face. He offered a hand to the woman he had brought down with him, pulling her upright with one smooth motion. She seemed ready to slap his face but Laguna pre-empted that movement by grabbing her around the waist and whirling her onto the dance floor. She tried to yell at him but could only laugh with disbelief and then enjoyment as he began teaching her the rudiments of swing dancing.

He swung her into the air so that her skirts flew up and then set her down gently. He bowed to the helplessly giggling woman and returned to the bar. Ward and his other companions had scattered around the room, so Laguna tapped the bar to get the bartender’s attention. “One Marlboro Special, please,” he requested.

The man raised one eyebrow but didn’t actually protest the order. In a few moments a green bubbling concoction was sitting in front of Laguna. The ex-freedom fighter raised the glass (making sure to use the special asbestos glove provided for that purpose) and looked into its depths before drinking.

To Raine… To Ellone… To Scarlett… The women of my life!

“Ganpai!” Laguna slammed down the viscous liquid and set the glass down gently as he tried to regain control of his body. The tremors started at his feet and worked their way up. He was twitching like a chibi-hamster on crack in a barrel. Finally they subsided and Laguna sat down on a nearby barstool with a sigh. He saw a flash of red out of the corner of his eye. And shook his head.

Nope, promised Ward I wouldn’t.

With a slight sigh Laguna signaled the bartender for another Marlboro Special, waiting to go home.

Guess who's back. Back again...
"Now THIS is more like it!" Conker started dancing to the techno. Lasers flickered throughout the dance floor. Even Bowser was clumsily dancing to the beat. One of Bowser's spikes poked Conker in the back.

"OW! Watch it! You got as much coordination and grace as a drunk driving a Cadilac!"

"Sorry." Bowser stabbed another man with his spikes.

"Why you idiot I... Not you again..." Yamazaki turned to see his old teammate. Conker's mouth gaped open on his sight.

"YAMAZAKI!" Bowser hit the samurai in the shoulder with his massive claw. "Where have you been?"

"This must be my additional form of punishment. Sent to a place with obnoxious music, blinding lights, and the smell of alcohol. I have no idea where they'll send me later for a punishment, or how long it'll last. It was worth it though... Yes..."

"Hey Yanni, enjoy yourself! Dance, relax, get drunk, and get yourself some tail before you go!" Conker materialized 3 mugs of beer, handing two to his team mates. "A toast! To one hell of a tournament, the chance to blow shit up with no consequences, seeing hot chicks in bikini's during round 2, and Bowser getting some in round five!"

"HEY!" exclaimed Bowser.

"I don't even want to know." Yamazaki raised his mug and toasted the two. For once Yamazaki felt calm. His anger has been released after thousands of dead. Was being here his punishment or his reward?

Conker turned around and lit a cigar on the back of a dancing Cinder's head. He offered the other two a cigar, but they both turned it down.

"Well I tell you one thing. If I see someone using those STUPID glowstick things, I will kill them where they stand..." An hour has passed, and Yamazaki was getting a good buzz going. The samurai noticed a certain Shadow and Ryo Hazuki twirling glowsticks around menacingly. Yamazaki's face grew cold and pushed Conker out of the way. Bowser and Conker saw both Shadow and Ryo run around the club, chased by an angry Aoi Satan. "DEATH AND MISERY TO YOUR GLOWSTICKS!" the samurai shouted.

"Hmph. I wonder what's twisting his tit?"

A small flying creature zipped around Conker.

"What the hell are you?" Asked the squirrel.

"Ima Djinn! My name's Flint!" he spun around, bumping around into other dancers.

"Gin? No, I'm drinking Heiniken!" Conker yelled through the music.

"Uuughh... I think I'm gonna be sick." The Djinn started to bob around the air.

"Hey you going to be alright littl-- HEY! F@#%!" Conker swore as the tiny creature vomited on the squirrel. For a critter it's size, it sure had a lot in it's stomach. Flint then spun around and back to a man in blonde hair and a green cloak. He could have sworn he heard Payback's a bitch! in his mind. A quick visit to the bathroom yielded a fresh and clean squirrel. He stepped back out onto the dance floor and noticed a white creature dancing in a feverish manner.

"Show-off. I won't be beaten by an albino Care Bear!" Conker walked off towards the moogle, who had a crowd around him. Conker then stepped through, stealing some the spotlight. With a wide range of arm sweeps and leg movements he ousted the moogle. Mog, not wanting to be beat challenged the squirrel with a fury of hops, slides, and spins.

"Kupo!" the moogle yelled while spinning on his head.

"Oh yeah! I'll be RIGHT back!" Conker ran to the DJ booth. After a short talk, and a fat wad of cash, the music slowly changed.

*Beastie Boys - Intergalactic*

The squirrel came up to the moogle, busting out his best dance moves. After freestyling for a bit, he went into a full break dance routine. The squirrel spun on the ground, then lifted himself with two fingers, using his spinning tail to keep him up for 5 seconds. He then ended it with a flip, and a smirk towards Mog.

SHOW-OFF POINT on Mog! (I challenge you to a dancing duel!)

Alright, time for some viz-noting.

- Best Dramatic Performance: Tough one. Damn near everyone in this tournament was Dramatic :) I would have to say Kaze get's it. With his serious character and Novel-like posts, he managed to intrest me.

- Best Comedic Performance: Bowser! Even though he was unactive for most of the tournament, he managed to spice up the first and second round, and give our team the glory of being known as "Comic Relief". Well, okay Yamazaki was serious, but he was more like the Moe to our Stooges.

- Best Story: Scarlett. A story of a woman seeking to f#$# with the... minds of her enemies.

- Best Display of Teamwork: I really felt that The Reluctant Ones really looked out for each other this tournament.

- Best Rivalry: Yamazaki and Ramirez. You KNOW it's a rivalry when someone breaks the law of a demi-god to kill the man!

- Best Duel (Single Post): I can't choose, there were a LOT of excellent duels this game.

- Best Duel (Multi-Post): Too many to list!

- Best Romance: Scarlett and Co-- Err I mean Laguna.

"YOU KNOW YOU WAAAAANT IT!" Yells Conker, trying to look seductive.

- Breakthrough Performance: Laguna. Hilarious and interesting. Didn't do too much fighting as some other sword-happy chumps though :D

- Most Original Interpretation of an Existing Character: Scarlett!

((And that's it. I'm outta here. Of course, given the dancing contest, I'll throw out a show-off point of my own for dancing, and another one for after-dance refreshments--he can hold his liquor when he feels like it. Just don't have him cross-dress or anything. Have fun guys, it was awesome, and I'll see ya next tourney! G'bye!

*Garai finds Ramirez at last. Edging through the crowd, he finds an opening beside and behind the silver-haired swordsman, and steps in. He clears his throat loudly, to get Ramirez's attention...Ramirez's head jerks a few degrees, and Garai catches his eye.*

Garai: You are Ramirez, correct? I am Garai, battle-leader of the Acacia Dragoons. I have heard of, and witnessed, your skills on the battlefield. They have some...

*Garai fumbles for the unfamiliar word...*

Garai: ...Virtual Reality?...equipment upstairs, which allows people to participate in duels without killing each other. So, I would like to challenge you...to a friendly duel between two swordsmen. Do you accept?

Link stepped off DDR and noticed a flash of pink through the crowd. He walked through the crowd, pushing people out of his way until he reached his goal.

He tapped the pink-clad girl on the shoulder, she turned around, smiling and giggling as she saw him. Link reached out his hand, giving her smile.

"May I have this dance?"

- Best Dramatic Performance: Tenshi Kain's Ramirez, without a doubt

- Best Comedic Performance: Conker :p

- Best Story: Sylf's Vivi's ongoing quest for a meaning to existance. God I love that little guy :D

- Best Display of Teamwork:Well, since I can't exactly nominate my own team, I'm going with Diciples of Wind. They displayed great teamwork throughout the entire tourament, Even with Kaze not exactly with him, he'd often be watching from the shadows. Plus they have Vivi :p

- Best Rivalry: Ward's ever lasting struggle to keep his pants.

- Best Duel (Single Post): Ramirez vs. Gilgamesh

- Best Duel (Multi-Post): Hmm.....Scarlett vs. Vivi (Did I mention that I love that guy? :D )

- Best Romance: Okay....since me and Kell didn't get to explore Link/Aeris much due to my finals *kicks finals* I'm going with Laguna and Scarlett

- Breakthrough Performance: Definantly Mith's scarlett. She took a character who I had nothing but feelings of hatred and annoyance toward and gave her a soul. I doubt I'll ever play FFVII the same way again.

- Most Original Interpretation of an Existing Character: Again with Mith's representation of Scarlett. Amazing Mith. Amazing

Award Votes, part 2.
Gotta get up the rest of these sometime soon! ^^

Best Comedic Performance: Conker. I'd go out and rent the game, but I think my family would kill me if they saw me playing something as raunchy and vulgar as that. I'll wait until college. XD

Best Display of Teamwork: I'm gonna give this award to Snow Falling blah-blah-I-ain't-gonna-remember-it!, because their team combination was by far the most effective... it was just unfortunate that a lot of people noticed that and wiped them out before they could slaughter us all. ^^

Best Duel (MultiPost): The duel between Isaac and Ivan to test their friendship was one of the best battles I'd seen written in a long time - and BOTH ended up as winners at the end... doesn't that make you all warm and fuzzy inside? Well, it worked on me. Well done, you two.

Best Romance: Laguna and Scarlett. It may even have had a special significance, being in the Only Human round... but I'll let you determine if that's true or not.

That's enough from me. Vivi'll be playing DDR... when he casts Haste on himself, he can do pretty well! Just keep him away from the punch though, or we may have problems! XDDD

Votechu, I choose you!
Best Dramatic Performance: TenshiKain's Ramirez. Yo, angstboy, lighten up! :p

Best Comedic Performance: AsylumXKP's Conker. Off course!

Best Story: I'd feel so tacky if I nominated myself for this category, since I was too busy just morphing back and forth between personas to actually get a story out. Next tourney I'll work out where I want to go beforehand, and shift the morphing into the background. I do have an overstory planned for this character arc. But anyway, my vote goes for... *throws a dart* Soujiro Seta's Kaze. You, my man, are responsible for me now wanting to sit through my deadly 64K speeds to leech FFU off someone.

Best Display of Teamwork: That avalanche team or whatever. Snow Falling Quickly Down a Hill.

Best Rivalry: Conker and Yoshi. Cute, friendly critters... Beating each other up.

Best Duel (Single Post): As I missed the duel the first time, I have now gone through and re-read, and I must say that Ramirez vs. Gilgamesh is the finest piece of combat I have ever seen.

Best Duel (Multi-post): As I honor the sword before, now do I honor the gun. Kaze vs. Gilder, Final Round.

Best Romance: Bowser and the dragon. :D Only joking, the honor must, of course, go to Shizuyoko and Mithrigil's Laguna and Scarlett.

Breakthrough Performance: Scarlett Welles, of course. I hope you will honor us with your presence in future, Lady Mithrigil Galtirglin.

Best Original Interpretation of an Existing Character: While so many excelled in this category, there is one who stood head and shoulders above the rest, stiletto heels ringing proudly on the stones. Scarlett Welles has been given new life. However, an honorable mention must be made for Baka's rendition of Ivan, which is the cause for my now wanting to play Golden Sun.

And now... It's OMAKE TIME!
Just after the last tournament ended, I discussed my concept for using Blue and Rouge with Krizak, and he gave the okay to use them both in one body, and to combine them if I saw fit. At that time, I had no knowledge of whether or not I would combine them into Amethyst (Who had no name at the time, going only by "Purple"), or allow one of the personas to take control permanently. Thus, I created four different banners for this tourney.

Here is the main one, which you have most likely all seen:


Here is the second one, of Amethyst.


And here are the third and fourth, Blue and Rouge.



At the time I made them, the two personas were split between good and evil by a much greater amount. As you have no doubt seen, I toned them both down quite a bit.

Did anyone else have additional material that they didn't use? Bits of text you had saved that never got used or didn't fit with the rest of the scenario? Banners that were never used, etc.?

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Bonus Round
The man- Garai- was big, silver, and carried two immense swords.

Ramirez actually liked him from the start.

Huh. So that's what my father must've looked like. With the Muramasa and the Ginken both sheathed at his side, Ramirez looked ever the intimidating spectre, even in "victory". As the contest had been a draw, that demigod's treatment was well worth it. Seeing everyone enjoy themselves while he reclined in a corner didn't exactly touch Ramirez's ice-cold heart- he liked it fine that way, thank you- but it did relieve him. They were like triumphant warriors enjoying the splendor and spoils of battle after it was hard-won. Ramirez could see them as only that, and as such, he relented from intruding on their fun.

He watched Scarlett laugh for the last time with the reporter, Laguna. While Garai followed his gaze, he smiled. I will miss you, crimson engineer...sometime, somewhere, perhaps I will be able to challenge you without tenderness in my eyes.

A glance to the highrolling buccaneer at the other end of the dance floor didn't prompt the same pang. He knew he would be seeing Gilder again, sometime, and that truly didn't bother him. Ramirez had never been one to let a grudge affect him, just as friendship had no meaning on the battlefield. There would come a day, probably, when he would see Gilder again- and he doubted it would be as an ally. All the same, he would respect the other's courage and loyalty, and simply leave it up to fate to see who walked away. He owed Gilder that much, for covering him to the end. The red-coated gunslinger would never quite be lost from Ramirez's mind.

As the beat of the odd dances continued, Ramirez straightened up from the wall, and looked to Garai. He smiled thinly, ferally- the time for mortal combat was over. This would be a simple duel between swordsmen- one last shot to test each other's strength.

"Champion of the Acacia Dragoons, was it?" Ramirez asked. "Those two swords you wield- what are they called?"

Garai's smirk was proud as he hefted up the two glittering broadswords, clutching each in an iron grip. "Einlanzers," he rumbled, the aura of the blades like that of the Ginken. "The only blades strong enough to rival the tarnished blade of evil, Masamune."

Masamune. Was that not one of Gilgamesh's weapons? So, to battle this man would be to lock swords with another swordsman close to that level...

Now that was purely tempting. Ramirez clutched both the katana hilts of his Ginken and Muramasa with an accepting bow of his head, agreeing to the test. "I will accept your duel, Garai. Meet me in this...'virginity regulator' place you speak of. I am sure I will find it, given the name is so unappealing," he said with a half-grin that was anything but joking. "Let's see if you can match the Einlanzers with Nitou Ginken Ryu. Let us test ourselves one last time- strictly as swordsmen."

He bowed again, grinning tightly, and walked across the dance floor. He weaved by a particularly beautiful girl in a pink dress, offering her a polite nod of his head as she moved over to some green-clad adventurer. Ramirez passed a few familiar faces, but he shut them out of his mind for a moment, and found the staircase that would take him upstairs to this "virginity regulator" machine that he would meet his newfound opponent in. He smiled tightly as he ascended it.

If he liked it, maybe this final duel with Garai wouldn't be the last he left the tournament competitors.

Familiar territory for Ryo
*DUNK*

*DUNKDUNKDUNK*

*DUNK*

"Show me what ya got!!", the electronic boxing machine continued to bark at Ryo is a badly sampled manner.

*DUNK*

*DUNK*

The pads came up, Ryo knocked them down. They came up again, he knocked them down again. The young martial artist had been playing he game on one credit for almost an hour. It was just too slow and easy compared to the intense battles of the last week. The teenager yawned and gave up, wandering off with the game still in play.

Vivi was wandering around the arcade trying to figure out what all the strange machines were for, when he came across one that seemed to be talking to him.

"You can do better than that", it grated as three red pads flipped up.

"Um, sorry?" the red mage didn't know what to make of it.

The pads flipped up again. "Last chance, loser!!" it taunted.

"Uh ... hey!!" Vivi was getting annoyed at the insulting machine and hit one of the red pads as hard as he could. Though it did not more an inch the machine suddenly lit up in a rainbow of colours.

"Game over. You're number one!!" the machine shouted, as it tallied up Vivi's score (with Ryo's 'contribution').

"Yeah, I know" the mage said in a matter-of-fact fashion as he walked off.

***

Ryo had gone out onto the dancefloor. He was shocked to see that even those who were graceful in battle could look utterly ridiculous when trying to bust a move. Rather than join them he took to the bar. A familiar figure cloaked in black stood on the other side of the counter.

"Kaze?" Ryo was shocked.

"Uh, no sir" the bartender said, "it's cosplay night. Orders from the boss."

"Okay ... I'll have an orange soda then"

"Nonsense" cosplay-Kaze barked, slamming his gold painted pod on the bar. "I've selected the appropriate ingredients ... for the likes ... of you!"

"White fire that cuts through the blizzard. Imperial Vodka!" A chamber popped open on the pod, and the bartender poured the vodka in.

"First ray of sunlight on the glades. Florida Orange!" The crazed cosplayer somehow managed to stuff twelve entire oranges into the back of the pod.

"And lastly, the mark of sophistication. Cocktail Umbrella!" He pushed the small paper and matchstick construct into the chamber, and then closed it. The pod began to whir and vibrate. The bartander held it firmly with his other hand and soon his entire body was shaking violently.

At last it ended, and a small nozzle extended from the front of the pod. The bartender placed a tall glass on the table and a thick orange liquid poured out into it. Ryo could see shreds of paper and splinters of wood in it as well.

"Arise! Summoned cocktail ... Screwdriver!!" cosplay-Kaze screamed.

"Er, no thanks" Ryo declined and quietly slipped away.

And Mith! Thanks for the vote! You'll be getting all the other votes in that category, of course... ;)

What kind of intimidating word is 'soil' anyway?
LMAO Daigohji! That's right up there with the great 'Gekigambler'.

And Dareon; if all of FFU was as cool as I personally thought Kaze was, they wouldn't have cancelled the second season. :p Nonetheless, if you decide to give it a try, you gotta watch through at least episode four.

Or just download something with more credibility like .hack//SIGN (of the same as the upcoming offline RPG about being in an MMORPG).

Soil! My strength!
