Calvinball XXX: no, it's not about what you think it is

[StabbityMage]

OOC:You got it wrong, but it still might work...
IC: SM watched as the dwarves began to march. And as they marched towards Arhra, they began to sing.

"YO-EEE-HO! YO-HO! YO-EEE-HO! YO-HO!"
OOC:If you haven't guessed, that's the song that the monkey-guy-thingys sing in The Wizard of Oz.

IC: And they continued, marching and droning on with their repetitive song! Finally, they reached Arhra, stopped, and began eating from his pants.

[Soldier3001]

Soldier, sick from the magical hampster ball, ran to the bathroom and puked the tempermental Mexican food he had before he joined this game. Then he remembered the words that changed his life...

And lo, there under the sink was the Calvinball. Soldier wabbled to the sink and picked up the calvinball. He put it in a grociery bag and carried it grociery bag style out of the bathroom. He waved to the rest of the crew performing their various acts of insanity and said, "Hey guys I got everything I came for, I'm just going to take these unsuspicious grociery items back to my appartment." And with that he began walking toward the goal.

[Arhra]

OOC: Shouldn't we be getting started on the endings?

Arhra climbs to his feet. What was going on was confusing but at least it was chaotic. On an unrelated note, it is virtually impossible to put a pie down Arhra's pants as he is fully enclosed in a sealed suit of amour. And what's inside couldn't be called human. So, let's just say the pie's on the ground at his feet eh? In a mild fit of temper, Arhra hurls the ring-imitating snake to the ground, where it slightly freaks out the dwarves who are happily devouring the rat pie. He fends off Grrbear's bunser burner fueled attack fairly easily - the flame would take a while to injure him and casts his gaze around angrily.

Then he sees it - some hunched little creature holding his Ring. Arhra's clearly furious he walks towards it, the ground is shuddering with each step and fissures opening around the place with molten lava visible in their depths. A particularly large fissure opens just behind the creature, revealing a fiery pit. Arhra looms over it, intending to reclaim the Ring...

OOC: Narrative.. casuality... too strong...

OOC: If you don't know, snakes eat rats. And I sprinkled rat flavoring on the pie.
IC: But lo and behold, Arhra could not get past the snake, for it was eating the pie and did not want Arhra to get past him, for the snake frared that Arhra would take his precious pie. SM saw his chance to escape and began to run after Soldier3001.

Suddenly, before SM was an E-Tank. An E-Tank is a robotic suit that walks faster than normal, has fists and can kick anybody's ass. SM got in and continued to pursue Soldier3001.

OOC: I got the E-Tank thing/idea from Megaman X.

((OOC: Indeed we should.

For the new people, endings are just that, and end. Your version thereof, to be exact. How it works is that everyone writes their own ending. It can be serious, funny, random, or just plain stupid. You can have you win, someone else win, or even have no one win.

As always, you can go check old games to get the general idea.

Just remember: It can't be by me, because I've been banned from writing ends because I am just that good .
Just kidding! I mean...I am banned from writing endings, but I'm not that cocky. Shut up, GrrBear.
Now...go! Write! Endings! Now!))

[Bailey]

OOC: actually, you are just banned from winning the ending contest. you're still allowed to write and post them.
IC: Alasp swooped down upon Soldier, taking the bag, but before he could reach the goal, he was knocked out of the sky by some unseen force. He landed between Arhra and the small creature with the ring, and the ball bounced out of the bag.
"NO!"
Newb screamed, trying to reclaim the ball, but it bounced towards the creature, knocking it into the abyss. As it fell, it screamed.
"MY PRECIOUS!"
The ring tumbled alongside it as it fell, and it managed to grab it, just as it landed within the lava. The calvinball landed soon after, and a glow could be seen emanating from where the ball had landed.
"Um, now might be a good time to RUN!"
Alasp beat his wings, attempting to flee before the maze exploded. The others fled as well.
Panting hard just outside, the calvinballers watched the structure become lined with glowing lines and fissures in the foundation, and then it collapsed in on itself, sinking into the ground. Where the maze had been, there was nothing but a sort of physical embodyment of chaos. This reformed into order slowly, and soon, where a great structure had been, there was a lowly pizza joint, with a mere shadow of the former maze in a small portion within.
"Is it just me, or do you guys get the sense that the calvinball went through some sort of dimensional portal just before the building collapsed?"
Alasp tried to go in to find more clues, but the door grew a face which looked remarkably like a cartoonish rat and spoke to him.
"You have to be crazy to want to go in there!"
Alasp shook his head.
"Well, maybe giving Jada that power was a mistake. Oh well, I'd better start looking for the calvinball."
With that, Alasp took out his key of dimensional door, and went back home.

[StabbityMage]

OK, here's my ending idea.

SM finally caught up to Soldier, stuck out his foot and tripped him. The calvinball flew wide of the goal at the same time as the dwarves passed it. An extremely unlucky dwarf got hit in the head by the calvinball, who picked it up and hurled it back. The calvinball missed Soldier and SM and hit the snake on it's back. Arhra was the closest one to the snake at the time. Apparently, the snake thought that Arhra was the one that threw the ball at him and tried to bite who he thought was his attacker. But since Arhra was wearing armor, the snake's teeth became dust as it tried to bite Arhra, who had picked up the ball and was rammed into a wall by Dragonsbane. Both were knocked unconsious as the ball rolled off the playing field and into another dimension.

[GrrBear]

My ending.
knocked aside by Arhra Grrbear and BS saw soldier with the bag. An uncanny sense told him to search it colliding with soldier he mannaged to grab the ball for a breif moment. In that moment he relized his purpose and curse. Created by the great mage Suzi to try to steal or contain the calvinball and it's madness, Grrbear was tainted by her hatred and given the normal emotions of a person. Now with all of the mistreatment that he has gone through he prepares for his vengance. Raw energy gathers around him as his nature tries to ground out the massive power of the calvinball and he declares his attack on the world in general, "CARE BEAR STARE". With that a huge bolt of energy, fuled by pent up anger and the caos of the calvinball, shoots forth from his belly ahnialating (I know) everything in its path. The other players flee the area as the stadium crashes down arround them. After that Grrbear, weakended by the attack drops the ball which falls into the chasm with the ring. shortly thereafer the entire place turns into a pastel bubble. The players just wonder if the calvinball got out before the seal went up.

[bombsquad2020]

OOC: my ending......

IC: as soldier is walking from the bathroom carrying the calvin ball in a grocery bag, a landmine explodes under his feet ripping a hole in space and time. as the earth shakes, images become vaguly visible. then somehow the calvinballers find themselves stuck in Mario Party 5 and they all go insane

[Toastburner B]

((OOC:

Yeah, I know. I'm OOCing a lot, but I'm so far behind, there's no point in trying to catch up in this game.

Now, on an important note, I would suggest everyone go take a gander (yes, a gander) at the Calvinball discussion thread. We are talking about things that will shape the course of the game, and we would like everyone's input, or at least for everyone to know about it so they are not surprised at the start of the next game.

Thank you for your time.
