Subj: [ffml] [MW] The Fate of the Yellow Tulip Magician Date: 99-02-07 14:44:06 EST From: patszostak@juno.com (Patrick Szostak) Reply-to: ffml@onelist.com To: ffml@onelist.com From: Patrick Szostak Somewhere in the Arctic Tundra.... {Yellow Tulip Magician}: Curse that Barchemist! How d-d-dare he ins-s-sult me so?! I'm not trying to take over the world! And I've got plenty of style! He must not have seen this stylin' cloak! S-s-send ME to the arctic, w-w-will he? As of this moment, Lorinan is on my list of enemies to destroy in an elaborate, painful manner! With the heavens as my witness, I won't rest until I slay Lorinan! Suddenly, a loud BOOM is heard, and lightning flashes across the arctic sky. {YTM}: Hey, that was pretty cool. Now, I suppose I ought to try this teleport spell again. Only THIS time, I'm gonna find that Lorinan and teach him a lesson he won't soon forget! The Yellow Tulip Magician pulls out his Crystal o' Teleportation and chants some wacky incantations. Within moments, he is surrounded by nifty blue light, and he reappears behind some bushes in a clearing where Lorinan is sitting around, mixing stuff. The YTM is totally out of Lorinan's sight, and thanks to a spell of Silence, he doesn't make any noise as he sneaks around. {YTM}: Now I'll show that Lorinan who's the boss! Heh heh, he doesn't suspect a thing. Excellent... {Lorinan}: La la la la.... {YTM}: I'll give him a taste of my patented "Super Death Annihilation of Death" spell! He'll never cross me again! {Random Soldier}: Um, Mr. Yellow Tulip Magician? {YTM}: Gyaaaaah! The Yellow Tulip Magician leaps ten feet in the air in shock. Lorinan hears the frightened yell, and sees someone shoot up into the air, and decides he should probably leave. {YTM}: Arrgh! You stupid random soldier! You've ruined my chances for revenge! {Random Soldier}: Sorry, but General Goofypants wanted me to remind you that you're supposed to be confronting Spacecat, and not trying to get revenge on unimportant people. {YTM}: Fine, fine...but you gave me quite a scare, anonymous soldier. I cannot allow such a...scare...to go unpunished. {Random Soldier}: Gulp? Um, you wouldn't hurt a man with glasses, would-- {YTM}: "Thunder and Lightning Storm That's Really Loud and Scary That Will Shake the Very Core of Your Being and Cause You to Wet Your Pants"! As the Yellow Tulip Magician chants, dark storm clouds gather over the clearing, and suddenly a large bolt of lightning strikes the spot where the Random Soldier was wetting his pants just moments ago, leaving nothing but charred Random Soldier Jerky. {YTM}: Hmph, yet another fool who believed himself equal to my wrath. And this "Spacecat" will be next.... **********Brave Fencer Pat********** Date: 99-02-08 00:18:53 EST From: LeeJoeMc@aol.com Lorinan looked behind him. "I'd better mix a vanish so he doesn't see me..." Lorinan began mixing some items togeather while chanting a silence song. He then used the mix on himself. L: "The nerve of that guy thinking he could beat me. I'm glad my random defence mix actually worked. But now, I'd better go warn Space that he has another bad cliche-type meanie after him." Lorinan mixed another flight potion mixed with the essence of speed song and shot off towards Space's camp. Lorinan The wacky Barchemist... From: RaumKatze2@aol.com I'm in outer space, remember? From: LeeJoeMc@aol.com Oooops... Then he teleports there.... Uh yeah. That's it.... I think...

As Spacecat was receiving his education of the ways of the Materia Warriors, he noticed a strange man outside of his space cocoon. "Chaos, there's a man out there?" Spacecat said telepathically, "It looks like he's suffocating out there. I think we should give him a sphere too." "What?!" said Chaos, "He doesn't belong here. He has no place going to Olympia with us!" "Chaos, he will die out there if we don't save him! The magic of his herbs won't keep him alive much longer!!" Date: 99-02-08 07:38:45 EST From: LeeJoeMc@aol.com Lorinan realized that he was in outer space, and understanding that a normal human being could only hold their breath for 60 seconds, utilized his alread speeded body and mixed an air dome around him. Now it was just a little waiting gime until he could figure out how to help space and keep away from the funny looking tulip man. Lorinan The wacky barchemist Subj: [ffml] Saving Lorinan Date: 99-02-09 22:55:39 EST From: CHAOS28@aol.com "Well..." Chaos thought over. "I suppose we could use some help on Fenris. There will be a big battle." "WAIT!" Lorak yelled. "It's Lorinan! I remember him from Crystal Peak!" He produced a sphere around Lorinan. Lorinan gasps loudly. "Thanks." he says aloud. "Don't bother trying to talk," Seph says to him. "We can't hear you... we just read what you said telepathecally." "We're almost at Fenris, Lorinan. Long time no see." Chaos pointed to the grey planet below, covered in technology. "That's Fenris... the second largest Terran planet in the universe. It's what's known as a 'Hive.' The hives are large cities with 5 or 6 streets stacked on top of eachother. The average building is 8 floors, and the biggest sky scraper is 70 some. Huge. But guess what. The planet Armaggedon dwarfs it." "Holy shit!" Spacecat yelled out. "Shit's, right," Seph joked. "Well, we won't be going to Armaggedon. Besides, unless your imune system has developed to adapt to it, like the Necromunda gang's has, we'd all die there." The spheres shot towards the grey planet. "They don't like me here... I whiped out half of the population while I was serving Abbadon the Despoiler. Let's see what's in store for me." And they landed... - C.
