Author Subject System Id TPCG Forumer posts: 18 (9/25/00 5:35:43 pm) TPCG Role-Playing Game (FICCIE!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just got the coolest idea for a fic from this comic I found!!! SO I'm making a ficcie now!!! *** "No!!!Youdon'tgetit!!!"System Id set up it's full volume for that last comment. A sound loud enough to shake the TPCG HQ, and to scare Riochet enough. "Cows don't really say moo... they just want you to think that so that they can take over world." The floating globe that was System Id almost seemed to pace in its movement through the air. "They do too say moo!!!" Riochet yelled back. "Shut up you two!" Shorty was getting tired of the conversation. He better things to do. Like bug Ami constantly. "Aren't you tired of that game yet?" "NO!" Ami didn't even move from where she was looking at the screen. "I'll never get tired of this game." Her eyes remained glued to the screen. About the second time she had gone through Crono Cross today. Shorty sighed as he leaned back. "Let someone else play for once." "It's only a one player game Shorty dear." Ami remained glued to the screen. Shorty went into a trace of sorts. He smiled. "Hold that thought..." At that point Ami paused the game and gave a trival glance at Shorty as he rushed out of the room. Riochet, Id, and Ami gave each other confused glances until they began to hear yelling coming from outside. "NO!!! Shorty! Bring the sucker back!" "What's going on!?" "Oh crap!" Shorty came rushing in with the video game sucker. He was followed by six others, each yelling commands to him. SonKnuck, Edge, H.Mac, TLoB, Seth, and Lil. Shorty said one sentence before smiling evily and pressing the button. "Oh come on, at least it'll give us something to do." The ten members all disappeared in a flash. *** By some strange stroke of coincedence at that exact time Tonic, Jolt, Zac, Hougan, and Lexef had stumbled onto TPCG's new base and were peeking in the window just as Shorty pressed the button. All five of them disappeared in a white light. TO BE CONTINUED...

The only thing Shorty was able to say as he opened his eyes. He was barely able to push himself to his knees. "Nice job Shorty." Ami's voice was heavy with sarcasm. Shorty looked up to her. "What? Are we in the game now?" "Yes." She retorted sharply. "And now the only way to get out is to beat it. Why'd you choose such a long game to get us stuck in?" " I'm getting a strange type of reading from the game we're stuck in." System Id interupted the two. " It appears that the game is changing... it's not remaining in the parimeters of the original Chrono Cross." Shorty arched an eyebrows. "An that means?" " We're not going to be able to go by Chrono Cross's original storyline. We're on our own..." "Damn..." Shorty mumbled quitely. "Where is everybody else?" "It's a RPG, they won't appear until we get to the game point where they can join our party." Ami replied, her voice now began cooling down. "All right... so shall we begin?" Shorty asked. [Ami has joined your party] [System Id has joined your party] "AH!!! What was that!?" Shorty jumped slightly. "It's the party notification box... it happens whenever someone has joined your party." Ami replied coolly. "Right..." Shorty said apprehensively as he started walking down the road. " It's kind of quite..." System Id said slowly as they went down the unpaved road. As soon as Id stop talking the surroundings around them began to waver and pixelate. "What the!?" Shorty exclaimed. " It's a random battle." "All right! Time for some fun!" Ami smiled evilly. [BATTLE MODE] Shorty Hp 140/140 Mp 0/0 Ami Hp 160/160 Mp 10/10 System Id Hp 100/100 Mp 20/20 Shorty jumped back as a dragon appears out of nowhere in front of the party. "A dragon!" Ami exclaims cheerfully. "Let's kill it!" Shorty arched an eyebrow at the dragon. "It looks kind of stupid..." The dragon's eyes were both going in different directions. The creature was hunched forward. Nobody does anything for awhile. Eventually both Ami and Id stare at Shorty. Shorty raised his eyebrows. "What!?" "It's your turn dear." Ami replied slowly. "Huh?" "To attack... see that menu below you?" "Huh?" Shorty looks down. A menu is just below him: [Spin] [Punch] [Eat a Burrito] [Take a Nap] [Stare Blankly] "What the?" He raised an eyebrow. "Choose you attack. Nobody else can fight until you do." "That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard of." Shorty said blankly. "Just choose something..." Ami was growing impatient. "Fine..." Shorty began to think. "Stare Blankly." [[[Stare Blankly]]] Ami smacked herself on the forehead. She sighed. "My turn:" [Pico Pico Blast] [Jump Blast] [Look cute] [Cannon smack] "Cannon Smack!" [[[Cannon Smack]]] Ami jumps forward and swings her cannon forward. She didn't even touch the dragon. The dragon, who had been filing it's claws until now, reeled back in pain and a little twenty flew up from his head. "Now what?" Shorty questioned. "We keep doing that until it's dead." Shorty stared blankly for awhile. "Uh... okay..." " My turn!!!" Id exclaimed cheerfully. [Angst Blast] [Volume Booster] [Spin around in circles] "Spin around in circles!!!" [[[Spin around in circles]]] Id flies around the dragon. Eventually the dragon becomes dizzy and falls flat on it's face. A little thirty flies above it's head. The dragon slowly dematerializes. Ending battle music plays. Both Ami and Id do some sort of pose. Shorty stares blankly at them. [You gain 25 experience points] [Ami levels up to level 2] [Ami learns 'Lay down the smackety' attack] [Shorty learns 'Do nothing' attack] [You found a lost puppy] [You are such a great player] [I can't believe how good you are] [This game is un--] "How long is this going to go on!?" Shorty interupts quickly. [Exploration mode] "That was... weird..." Shorty says slowly. "SHORTY! AMI! OVER HERE!!!" The three turn around to the direction of the sound. Lil Hedgie is tied up to a tree not twenty feet away. "Lil!" Ami yells as they rush over to her. With a simple yank on the rope, Ami drops Lil to the ground. "What happened?" "Well..." Lil gathered her thoughts. "After Shorty pressed the button on the sucker I woke up tied to this tree. I must have been held captive by that dragon." She paused for awhile. "I found this..." She pulled out a medallion and shows it to Ami. Ami looks at it. "There's something inscribed on it... It says: Princess Lillian Hedgian The kingdom of Jular "The game must think you're a princess." Ami gave the medallion back to Lil. " We should probably go to this kingdom and see where the game takes us from there." Id said. Ami nodded. "Yeah..." [Lil Hedgie has joined your party] "This is getting confusing..." Shorty said as the four began back down the road. "Knowing RPG's it only going to get worse from here..." Ami said. "I wonder where the others could be..." Lil followed behind the others.

Zac's eyes just began to reajust. "One minute we finally found them, then the next, we're here..." "For the last time," Tonic grunted, "I don't know. Now leave me alone while I MiST this fic." Zac sighed. He leaned back and looked around the cell. Why did they appear in a jailcell? What was happening? "So spray paint smells funny?" Tonic began to crack up after he finished that line. "I can't believe how funny I am..." Zac banged his head against the wall. He mumbled quietly. "Someone help me get out of here..." *** Shorty was breathing heavily as he rounded the top of the hill. Just as he reached the peak he fell to his face. "So tired..." Lil and Ami followed equally slowly. The only one who seemed normal was System Id. Lil breathed heavily until her eyes drifted to the horizon. "Oh, wow." A loud grinding sound filled the air, scared the four. "What the phleem?" Shorty rose his head up. "It must be a FMV..." Ami replied in between breathes... At that point the entire country city suddenly looked clearer and generally better looking. It came to what passed as an impressive veiw of the kingdom at the bottom of the hill. After a few pointless showings of the city it came back to our hero(ine)s. That had mericuosly appeared at the front gates. "AH!" Shorty exclaimed. "How'd that happen!?" " It's a scene cut in the game. Don't worry about it. Now we should find a hotel, get some rest then go to the castle." "Hotel?" Lil questioned. "Shouldn't we go straight there instead of waiting for tommorow!?" "Don't worry." Ami answered. "In the RPG times it won't really matter. There no true time here, just waypoints." [Hotel] The group entered the hotel. Shorty stared at the dialogue box with Hotel written on it until it faded away. "Hello!" The clerk was unhealthily cheerful. "Would you like to stay for the night. It costs 40 pounds of phleem." "Yes," Ami said with a nod. The groups vision faded to black. After a few seconds it came back. They felt very relieved. Shorty and Lil's eyes were wide. "That's it?" "Come on..." Ami motioned outside. --- As the group trudged down the main road they could hear the sound of yelling from ahead. "HEY!!! Give that back! I have no idea what it is but it looks important!!!" As they looked up the owner was apparent. H.Mac was running at full speed after a burgler. The burgler slammed right into Shorty. He stood up quickly and got into a defensive pose. H.Mac's eyes went wide. "Shorty! Ami! Lil! ... Id..." At that point their vision pixelated. [Battle Mode] Shorty \ lv 1 Hp 140/140 Mp 0/0 Ami \ lv. 2 Hp 180/180 Mp 12/12 System Id \ lv. 1 Hp 100/100 Mp 20/20 Lil Hedgie \ lv.2 Hp 100/100 Mp 27/27 "What the?" Lil said slowly. "Why do WE have to fight!?" Shorty whined. "It's H.Mac's burgler! Let him take care of this guy..." "What's this?" Lil asked, being ignored yet again. Ami sighed. "Lay down the smackety!" [[[Lay down the smackety]]] Ami then jumped forward and... well, laid down the smackety. A fifty flew off of the burgler's head, who then disappear. -battle music- [You gain some experience] [You get 20 pounds of phleem] [Shorty levels up.] [Id levels up] [You found a rock] [Exploration mode] "Hey, it stopped without me telling it to..." Shorty glanced downwards. "What was that!?" Lil almost looked violated. Her eyes were wide with disbelief and she was shaking. "It's so good to see you guys!" H.Mac exclaimed happily. "Hey, did you find a rock when you killed him?" "Yeah..." Shorty handed H.Mac the rock. "Oh, okay. I found it in my pocket. I was looking at it then that burgler stole it." " Based on the huge list of over-used RPG plot points your need to take that somewhere. And now you should join our party to go find the place where you have to take it." Id explained. " It's in nearly all RPGs..." [H.Mac has joined your party!] [Tutorial mode] "HUH!?" H.Mac, Shorty, and Lil all exclaimed at once. "It's a tutorial mode. This is where the game explains something." Ami said calmly. " I bet it's switching part members." Id said. [Switching party members] " See?" [To switch party members you must go to a save point--] Shorty arched an eyebrow. "Save point?" "Later." Ami said simply. [There you go to switch menu and switch your members from there.] [end tutorial] "That's all?" H.Mac was surprised. "I could have figured that out on my own!" "Speaking of save points... we should save soon. We can only save a certain points on the map." Ami said. "Shouldn't we go to the castle now?" Lil asked. " We're running of room on this disc." Id said. "Couldn't they easily fit more info than this on one disc?" Shorty asked. "If they got rid of those FMVs." H.Mac answered. [Please insert disc 4]
