Section 2

You think to yourself Man, I must've got hammered. . . What the Hell was I doing anyways? As you slide back into full conciousness, you begin to take in your current surroundings. It's dark, the air has an almost salty taste to it and most of the garbage around you is composed of fish, lost causes, and spam. By use of logical deduction, you're in an alley, near an FKL-ite dockside restaurant, and it's past 9P.M. Not bad counting the fact you started drinking at 7P.M. at the pub in Off Topic. . . It's a wonder how you got past the boarder patrol, Shligger with his Yamatos and all, you'd surely have encountered some trouble.

But, come to think of it, what's wrong with luck, amirite? You think to yourself. You stand up and begin thinking about what you were doing [besides drinking at the pub] beforehand but are interupted by the shot of a flintlock pistol.

You makeout the shadowed figure. He's about 6 feet tall, he's wearing tattered cloths, he has a bandana, and also holds a buccaneer. Mutha fuckin' pirates. Through a thick accent, you decipher what the pirate is saying.

"Arhg! Where be me cave meats? Have yee my caves meats?" You reply: "What the Hell are cave me---" Another shot cuts you off. You gotta stop this pirate.

* * * *

You decide to. . .

A: Freak out and grab the nearest item like the crazy dude you are. Who needs a backup plan?
B: Pull out the masculine broadsword off your back, what alliance could you defend without it and your suit of armor?
C: Seduce your assailant with your vuluptuous body. . . And your newman ears, everyone loves those pointy ears.

INVENTORY:
N/A

Section 3

"So where be me cave meats? I'za shoot yee if you don't tell me where me cave meats are!"

You begin to walk forward, avoiding eye contact, and twirling your hair around you ear. You reach the pirate and pierce him with a alluring gaze. Everyone knows a HUnewearl's outfit wasn't designed for combat alone. . . "Aw, I wish I had some cave meats for you. . . But, I might have something else. Think of it as a. . . Little gift, from me to you."

The pirate drops his weapons asyou grasp his head and gently pull it towards your own. You can feel his hands now on your back and note how they are going a bit lower then you'd like. You continue to gaze into his eyes, which can't look away.

Just as your lips are about to touch, your eyes twinkle. Your assailant's pupils shrink and blood begins to pour from his mouth. You step back, allowing his body to fall to the ground, still twitching from the electric shock.

You kneel down and kiss him on the cheek. "Consider it a gift, matey." A quick search on the ground and in his pockets gives you an empty flintlock pistol, a Buccaneer, and a torn slip of paper. You check the slip and it reads:


Clue 1/3 to get cave meats

Cave meats are surrouned by _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am I?


Clue 2/3 to get cave meats

*Slip ends*

"What the Hell? Not sure why a pirate would try to get cave meats from someone like me. . . I don't think anyone knows where you get them. And this slip isn't even complete. . . But it is a hint so I might as well try."

* * * *

You gotta find those cave meats so you decide to. . .

A: Go to the nearest pub, you always get inspiration there.
B: Search the dockside. . . The clues gotta be nearby

INVENTORY:
Mewi/loli/hawt-ness, zonde, empty flintlock pistol, buccaneer, torn clue 1/3

[VanHalen]

equip buccaneer and learn zonde and go to B

[Sgt_Shligger]

So that's a vote for B >.>;

I spoil you guys with all these choices.

Yes, prepare for double posting madness if you don't post after this >:D

[Sgt_Shligger]

Section 4

"That second clue must be somewhere on this dock. . . This tear is new from the looks of it." Knowing you are one third closer to getting a hold of some cave meats then you were at any other time in your life, you search with enthusiasm. This effect wears off after about 30 minutes of dockside searching. "I should get a drink, that's always good for inspiration.

"Nothing like a cold bottle of GOD to get the senses working. . . " Right before the glass can touch your lips a loud crashing noise comes from behind you. You turn around just in time to have a figure clothed in black robes and a mask smashes into you, causing you to drop your bottle of GOD. "What the Hell? You'll regret that. . . "

The ninja jumps forward and chases a pirate out the door, who is most likely the culprit--- But that's not the important part. You're getting that ninja for spilling your drink. Nobody gets away with that.

The people on the dockside must've had a strange site to see. An old pirate running from a ninja who is being [unknowingly] chased by what appears to be a newman prostitute.

"Give me back that slip of paper or you will perish by the hands of the Mi-shi-shima Onak-iki-oka Alliance!"

"Arhg! You'll never get this here slip for as long as I breathe!"

"Do you realize who's drink you spilled?"

I gotta get that ninja but I'll have to stop that pirate first. You shoot a bolt of zonde at a nearby garbage can, causing it to tip and spill in the pirate's running path. He promptly slips and falls and the ninja stops to get the slip. This is your chance to get that sunuvabich back for spilling your drink.

* * * *

Sunuvabichninja is going down, you decide to. . .

A: Lure him in with your mewi/loli/hawt "ninja skills."
B: Go ape-shit on his ass.
C: Follow him and see wear he is heading.
D: Let him go (inorite)?

i could make you a sig but it would be of low-quality

[Sgt_Shligger]

For the Hell of it, I'd figure out that first Clue. . . It'll help later on in the story.

[Sgt_Shligger]

Section 5

Now that I've caught up with him I should be able to go fuckin' crazy on his ass. Just before you enter your dash, you catch a glimpse of the slip of paper. the top of it is torn and reads "Cave meast sit in a---" but that's all you catch. Maybe I should hold off. . . I can follow him wherever he may be going. He might have the third clue back where he's heading. Just before you leave, you check the pirates pockets and retrieve a few rounds for your pistol.

What's another hour to wait for such sweet revenge, aye? The ninja isn't jumping anymore and his walk shows his guard is down. It's hard, but you restrain yourself from pouncing on him. You keep twisting and turning and worming through the entire dockside until the ninja stops at a rather ominous door. . . It's a rather wooden door with a small slit in the top. The ninja walks up and knocks, causing the slit to open revealing a pair of dim eyes. What could this be? You think to yourself as you hold your hand up to your ear in the shadows.

"What's the code?"

"Chunky Monkey."

"Welcome back fellow Mi-shi-shima Onak-iki-oka member."

You hear them mumble something else but you can't make it out. The door opens and the sunuvabich ninja slips into the blackness behind the door. You wait for the door to close, walk up, and knock.

"What's the code?"

"Chunky Monkey."

The door opens and you quickly step in.

"Welcome back fellow Mi-shi-shima Onak-iki-oka mem--- Who the Hell are---?"

He doesn't get to finish his sentence before you cover his mouth. The guard only squirms for a second until he tips over with blood dripping from his mouth. You look at the side of the door and spot a bucket of water which you use to clean your hands. . . Oddly convenient by your standards. You check the guard for anything useful and find a shuriken and a Mushashi and a smoke bomb. (Forgot to include, could've sworn I put this in).

For a secret hideout, you'd think it would be much classier. For some reason, the place seems awfully comfortable. . . The walls are composed of stone and are adorned with torches held to the wall by functional wooden pegs. The floor is all carpeted with a strange red design, similar to something you'd find on Neudaiz.

After a minute or so of walking, you reach a rather commodious, circular room. A gigantic candle lit chandelier sits in the center and small stones are evenly spaced around the outer edges of the room. A ninja sits on every stone, legs folded with clasped hands, and a man dressed in a long red robe along with golden samurai shoulder pads, a breast plate, and an elaborate helmet. He is holding up the slip of paper with clue two on it and is congratulating the sunuvabich ninja who found it. . . From what you can tell at least.

* * * *

Time for revenge--- or is it? You decide to. . .

A: Drop the chandelier with your flintlock pistol and take the remaining ninjas on.
B: Dash in screaming, Buccaneer out, at the sunuvabich ninja who spilled your drink.
C: Call out and use your mewi/loli/hawt-ness to "persuade" the ninjas.
D: Lay the smoke bomb, grab the slip, kill the sunuvabich ninja, and RUN.

Section 6

D

You intake your surroundings for a few seconds, counting the enemies, assessing their power, anything and everything that could help or hinder you in killing that sonuvabitch ninja and getting that slip.
After what seems like an eternity of 5 seconds you dig your hand into your pocket, feeling on the small, smooth, cold smoke bomb. You take a few deep breaths, steel your nerves, close your eyes, saying a quick meditation, and then you take one giant step forward and charge into the middle of the room.
You take a giant leap, gaining massive air. At the peak of your jump you take out your smoke bomb, tossing it into the middle of the room.
As you and the smoke bomb descend, time seems to slow down for you. You look around at the faces of your bewildered enemies, the horror in each individual's eyes as the smoke bomb impacts with the ground and detonates, sending out a deep dark cloud of blinding gas that spreads out like a tree's roots spreads into the soft soil.
As you near the ground you take out your Musashi, readying it to sink its blade into the back of the blinded sonuvabitch.
You grip tighter around the hilt of the blade, but you a soft fizz as your feet hit the ground - not the sound of a photon blade sinking into skin, but the sound of a photon blade hitting metal.
The dense smoke makes it hard to see whats going on so you simply react on instinct and send a heeled boot out to your enemy.
A satisfying "oomph" is heard and then tension from your blade is lifted.
Your mind starts to race, this plan didn't go exactly as you hoped it would, time to make an exit and go back to the drawing board.
You turn around and dash back to where you came. Looking behind you, you see the ninja pack right on your heels, and they seem to be catching up. You blindly fire a few bullets behind you, not even checking to see if any of them found a mark. You slice open the exit with your musashi, hoping to find freedom, but fate works in mysterious ways and you are greeted to a mob of angry pirates.
You stop in your tracks and look behind you, a mob of equally angry ninjas.
Pirates versus Ninjas, and a Newearl in skimpy clothing stuck in the middle. Somewhere a nerd is writing a fanfic about this, but you...you're thinking,

OH SHI-

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

A) Make a mad dash through the mob of pirates, hoping to escape
B) Use this situation to your advantage and make the two mobs fight each other
C) Try to seduce them...again.
D) Go Kamikaze and kill all those bastards.

[Sgt_Shligger]

Section 7

This idea SUCKED! How am I going to get out of this. . . You watch as every ninja strikes a stance and prepares to charge you. The door is blocked by ninjas- Could this be the end? Just before the ninjas attack, an idea strikes you.

"Hey, isn't that the pirate who originally had your clue in the first place?"

One of the ninjas reply, "Is this true?"

Another says, "Yes, he's the one."

The gas valve has just been released. No one moves, everything just freezes. Time could've stopped for all you know. The only give away is both groups stares of hatred. The tension spreads through the air like a thick gas. . . You can almost taste it. Time to light this baby up.

You clench your fist and look at one of the pirates who has his gun held up. Your finger twitches as you launch an incredibly small electric spark. It collides with the pirate's hand and his pistol goes off. Without thinking, you pull yourself to the ground as a torrent of pistol shots, knives, and shurikens fly through the air. Clanging sounds proceed as blades connect along with yells and grunts. Time to ditch.

A quick roll sends you out of the brawl and back into the hideout. You still need the clue. But you do have some time.
You get back to the circular room and freeze, as you see the robed, armored leader is still standing their with the slip. Slowly, you reach into your pocket for your pistol. What the? Where is it? I must've dropped it out front. The only items you have on you are a Mushashi, a ninja star, and a Buccaneer. The leader makes a quick turn in your direction and you almost scream as you go behind the wall. If he attacks first, you're done.

He must be one of the elite if he can command a whole clan. You can't even seduce him, the armor will ground him. But you must get that clue.

You decide to. . .

A: Take out your blades and attack him, you can take him.
B: Go for the chandelier with your ninja star, he won't see it coming.
C: Declare your presence and reason with him. There's no way you could fight him.

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

There isn't even a D this time and we saw B before and my throat hurts and I can't talk well. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Sgt_Shligger]

Well, it was either that or seduce. . . And seduce has had it's turns.

[Ma_Navu]

Ya know, I always thought it was "Musashi," and not "Mushashi." >__>

Anyhow, I vote A. Epic battles are cool-- and there's a chance someone will just be completely beaten the shit out of in less than 8 seconds, which you never see for some reason.

I told Shlig to add the "Seduce him" option but he said, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

CYOA .5 sections/day today + tomorrow (only)!

[Sgt_Shligger]

Section 8

Just before you charge out to throw the ninja star, the scenario plays in your mind. The shuriken hits the chandelier but the ninja already has a blade to your neck as soon as you blink. Screw that. . . I don't stand a chance against him. Here goes nothing- You take a deep breath and pocket your weapons.

With a slight metallic echo, you pick up the ninjas voice.
"Come in, what is it that you need?"
Your heart almost stops. He knew you were there the whole time? You should be dead! But you aren't, so it's time to continue. With another breath, you walk out of the shadows and confront the ninja. "Yeah, that note you have. . . I need it. I'm on the journey for Cave Meats."

"Oh? Where do you start to look?"

"Well, I need the other two clues, I only have one but I noticed you also had a clue."

"I'll give you a deal, we share our info and, once we find the Cave Meats, we'll split them fifty-fifty. Just one ounce could by you 1000 GOD bottles."

"I accept your deal."

You both pump hands and begin to walk down the hallway. Upon closer look, the ninja leader is actually wearing an extremely long, open trenchcoat, not a robe. His pants are black, his undershirt is made of golden chainmail. You can't see any details past his face mask, which is also golden.

After a short walk, you both reach the door to find the slaughtered bodies of ninjas and pirates, none seem to be alive. A glance reveals it's dawn and you're almost back to square one. "Erm, ninja, where do we start looking?"

"I do have a na--- Wait, where do we start?"

You have no trail, time for some guessing, you decide to. . .

I'll get to writing this one tomarrow.

[Sgt_Shligger]

Section 9

"Well, we won't find anyone just standing around, [name]." In shock, you reply: "How'd you-"
"That's not important. Now let's start."

"But where?" The ninja holds up a finger, as if to come up with an idea, then it quickly comes back down to his chin. "Uh. . . Let's start with this guy." The two of you spot an eye-patch-wearing-sky-blue-anime-superhero-ish guy passing the alley with a katana in one hand and a crutch in the other.

Within an instant, the man is pinned to a wall with a Yamato to his neck. This guy knows his weapons. . . Yamatos are so rare nowadays."

Oddly defiant, the Humar says: "What the Hell do you guys want?" You note that he's drawing his katana. That's not gonna fly. Before he can even wiggle his blade, you grasp it and attempt to send an electric current through it but, to your surprise, the blade simple glows, as if it absorbed the energy.

The ninja isn't pleased in the least. "What the Hell do I want? Well, you know where we can find the third clue to obtaining Cave Meats?" The Humar almost laughs until the ninja presses the Yamato on his neck, releasing an icicle of blood. "I-I-I don't k-k-know what y-y-you are talking a-about!"

[i]He knows. . . I should be able to- convince him. "Hey, ninja, I got this." The Humar looks at you with irritation which suddenly turns into anxiety when he sees the look in your eyes. You whisper something into his ear. A bead of sweat goes down his forehead, his pupils dilate. "I have the clue on me! Just don't do it!"

"Oh? You lied to us before?"

"Yes, I did, here, take the clue! take whatever you want!"

The Humar drops his katana, the clue, and a double saber. The ninja begins to pick the items up and the HUmar begins to run but you stick out your hand, close-lining him. The two of you walk out of the alley, but you make sure to step on the Humar, causing blood to spill out of his mouth. "Nice doing business with you."

As you and the ninja step out of the alley, you hear the familiar metallic voice question you. "Hey, what did you say to him back there anyways?" With a smirk, you reply: "That's not important." If an unmoving mask could have chuckled without making a sound, this one just did.

"Now let's check out this clue. . . Ane Piece them together."

You begin to read the clues in sequence.

Clue one: I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. I'm also a supporting character and an overused name. What am I?

Clue two: Many things can create one, it can be of any shape or size, it is created for various reasons, and it can shrink or grow with time. It can bring riches and death. What is it?

Clue three: Earth, wind, fire, _ _ _ _ _ , heart. It is here you will find the Cave Meats, deep under but hidden well under the great darkness that lies at the entrance to all that is wrong, forgotten, irrelevant, and processed.

"Huh. . . What the Hell does this mean?"

"Beats me."

You're so CLOSE! You must decipher these clues so you decide to. . .

A: Figure it out.

*EDIT* You guys figure the clues out before the story goes on.

[VanHalen]

It's on a beach?

[Sgt_Shligger]

Figure out clues one, two, and three. Three is the longest.

[VanHalen]

I think either one or two has something to do with waves one of those two.

[Sgt_Shligger]

Why don't you get some peopel to help solve it >_>

[astuarlen]

Well, the third one is obviously water.
So the others must be 4 letters or fewer.

[Sgt_Shligger]

Third one is water and the location it's talking about is _______________!

[UnderscoreX]

A line ?

[Sgt_Shligger]

You guys are bad at this. . .

I don't think 1 can be "shadow" if 3 has to be the longest. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

(An) Underwater cave(w/meats) like in some sort of Zelda.

And while we're talking about who's bad at stuff, hehe "close-line".

I was thinking legos, myself. You can make a mansion for your lego people or you can build a trap. And they all come in different sizes.

So, yeah? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_clown.gif

That's plausible. Better than what I was thinking: a rock. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Sgt_Shligger]

Numer one: Shadow is the right answer.

Number two: http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Number three: It gives a location. . . Now, somone said water if I recall right.

Should I just post the next section http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

[PhotonDrop]

For number two all I can think of is love or friendship. But that doesn't sound right with "shadow"...

[astuarlen]

#2 is clearly a pile of trash.

See, these clues are much too vague. It could be anything from a pizza to an island (both of these fit the description for numero dos, srsly)

[Sgt_Shligger]

You know, I'll just give the clues away in the next chapter, and clue two was a hole. . . not the best riddle ever <_<

[DizzyDi]

wut?

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

Game over yeah. /no ytmnd

[DizzyDi]

so shlig wanted me to post the answers to the riddles, but I forgot them.
Eh.

[UnderscoreX]

Clue 1 was a shadow, Clue 2 was a hole, and Clue 3 was retarded and no one got it, but it had something to do with water. Now write mister! I hate cliffhangers http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

Shligger: "I wrote a story and some clues but it didn't pan out how I wanted, so it ended abruptly without closure." http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/coke.gif

Section 10

"What the HELL?"

"Yeah, these clues, they don't make sense at all. . . The third one is a complete joke!"

After hours of guessing, asking, and pondering, you and the ninja have no answer to the third clue. It's stupid! You look over to the ninja who's mask somehow conveys a feeling of defeat. "Well. . . Let's go visit the PSU General Pub. I hear they got some of the best spam around. It looks legit at first glance, but once you eat it, it's good ol' spam."

"Sure, let's go."

The two of you hop on a Fklocamotive and in a few minutes, arrive at the PSU General / FKL Border. An entire ocean separates these land masses but, in the distance, you can see a small speck of PSU General. "Huh, I don't see Shligger anywhere. . . Must be the reason we have so many polls sitting in the streets." The ninja coughs and wipes his brow as he says "Uh, yeah, that's strange."

"Usually he's really attentive to things like this. It's not like him to drop an assignment. Anyways, let's get moving."

"Yeah, really."

You go up to a small ship and hand the captain some @, as does the ninja. The captain cuts the rope and the vessel goes northward into the sea.

* * * *

After a good 15 minutes, the ship arrives at the true PSU General / FKL Border. A thin, blue-green mist seems to go on in both directions forever. It's like being next the the horizon. Dark, purple clouds seem to form a circle at the "center" of the seemingly endless, misty horizon. It's as if the place is in a perpetual night. Dead center sits a volcano that spews no smoke of any sort. It just sits, ominously as if waiting for someone.

But then an idea strikes you. "Wait, this is it!" Startled, the ninja replies "What's it?"
"The clues! Shadow, a hole, water! Deep under, dark. . . And if anything is processed, it's the border of FKL and PSU General!"
"Hmm, it all makes sense now. . . It was so obvious!"
"I know, right? Hey, cap'n, could you steer the boat and drop us off at the volcano?" With a confused look, the captain replies "Uh, I don't know. . . " Seeing his doubt, you take a step forward and gaze into his eyes. Your fingers run under his chins and to his lips. "Are you sure you couldn't just do this itty-bity favor? For me?" Slightly flushed, he wriggles out "Uh-uh s-sure, anything for you." With a quick turn, the ships course is switched over to the volcanoes edge. Like a spring, you rap your arms around him and gleefully cheer "Oh, thanks so much! Now you just wait here for us, k?"

"S-sure!"
"Thanky!"

You skip out of the boat onto the basin and the ninja follows but not at all giddy. A chuckle is followed by the ninja saying, "Hmm, you're pretty good at that-" You turn around and cut him off with a glare that dares him to make a joke. He doesn't and the two of you reach the volcanoes top. "Now, how are we going to get down?" You look at the ninja and spot him climbing down, a Yamato in each hand which he uses as climbing picks. You pull out your Musashi and Buccaneer and do the same.

* * * *

It's a much shorter climb then you thought--- Roughly 5 minutes but it was enough to tire you out. Nothing a good ol' Monomate can't fix. It always works. "Now that we're here, where do we start?" Puzzled, the ninja replies "No idea. It's your call."

You begin to take in your surroundings. A thick, humid air fills the caves and, your Newman nose picks up only the faintest smell of meats. The walls are a navy stone and the floor is a brown sand. Dirty crystals give off a dull sheen. There is no apparent light source but there is not the faintest hint of shadows. It isn't particularly bright but at least you won't need a torch. The sounds of running water complimented by drips and echoes give the place an almost serene feel.

"Let's get moving" The comment startles you, but you don't show it. Quickly, you catch up with the ninja and begin walking through the caverns which are slowly spreading out as you progress. After a short while, you hear something rather peculiar. Before you can say anythin, the ninja says "Do you hear that?"
"Yeah, I do. . . It almost sounds like music--- But that's not possible, is it?"

It must be. There is a red, gold-laced curtain in your path and the sound of glass clinking along with music, produced by what sounds like make-shift instruments [which sound oddly sonorous] comes from the other end. You push the curtain aside and find yourself in a pub. The walls are covered with the same dull, sheening crystals that give off no light [and there is no light source here either] but the walls are perpendicular to flat, brown sand. Wooden tables sit in various places along with a huge wine rack placed behind a wooden bar. A pair of dart boards sit by the edge of the bar along with two other red, gold-laced curtains. Various coral plants, small statues, and paintings are sprinkled all over the pub giving a normal essence to the place, as if it weren't under the ocean.

There are a few men and women sitting at various tables. Two people are at the counter. One is on his face with not relevant features and the other is leaning over his drinking chatting with the bartender. The knight is fully clad in his armor, a shield with a faint glow sits on his back and a battle mace sits at his side. The bartender has a long, thin mustache that extends horizontally from his face. He wears a top hat along with a business mans outfit.

He notices you and the ninja walk in and welcomes you with the phrase, "Hey, we don't many newcomers around here. Would you care for a drink?"
"Hmm, why not."

* * * *

The two of you sit down at the counter and order two bottles of GOD. Nice place for being underwater. How are you going to find them Cave Meats?

A: Order the bartender to tell you where the Cave Meats are, or else.
B: Ask the knight.
C: Continue through the other curtains, you can do it yourself.

[PhotonDrop]

Lets go with B

[Hrigg]

A

[Sgt_Shligger]

Aw, now that I finally post it >_>
