Mother 3, By request Options

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Welcome to the world of
(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated.png)

The concept was brought up, and I decided I could do it easily enough since I got the guide. I'm still playing RFF and Klonoa's coming out soon, but again, the guide. Hopefully it won't be too tough to stick to. Also, the reason this isn't in the other "Let's all play Mother" topic is because I'm still in the middle of the first game on there. Anyway... let's meet the family.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/mother_03.jpg)

Hinawa

The gentle and protective mother who's currently tending to the twins while Flint takes care of the livestock back home.

Flint
Father and loving husband, Flint is quiet and reliable.

Lucas

A bit of a weakling to be sure, but a kind and gentle boy.

Claus

Unlike Lucas, Claus is energetic and out going, though he's still a good kid.

Boney

Though far from a vicious protector, Boney is still a dedicated and lovable family pet.

Now that that's out of the way, welcome to the Nowhere Islands, Tazmily Village, beyond the Sunshine Forest to the home of Alec. Hinawa's father.

*knock knock*

*knock knock*

Claus
"Lucas!! How long are you gonna sleep?! Get up so we can play! Get up already! The Dragos brought their babies over! They're really cute!! Hurry up!"

Blrrg. I'm up, I'm up...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated2.png)

Anyway, downstairs...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated3.png)

Hinawa
Good morning, Mr. Sleepyhead Lucas. Claus has been up for a while, playing with the Dragos.

He's always doin' stuff in'he? Anyway, on the way out the door...

Hinawa
Are you planning to play in your pajamas? Scoot upstairs and change your clothes.

Yes, Mom...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated4.png)

Now it's time to plaaay! *barrels down the stairs*

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated5.png)

Oops. Sorry. (Got some Nut Bread!)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated6.png)

Introducing Alec, Hinawa's father!

Alec
Oh, you're up, sleepyhead. Well, today's the day you head back home. I'm gonna miss you guys.

Now to randomly talk to some animals.

Cow
Moo. (All cows, no matter what they're thinking, go, "Moo." It'd be handy to remember that.)

Pig
Oink oink. (What the pig next to me says worries me...)

Pig
Don't worry about it.

Chicken
Cluck cluck? (You're awake, cluck?)

Chicken
Cluck! (You late riser!)

Frog
A story is a series of memories. Memories are remembered with other memories, and in turn become memories themselves. If you don't take care to preserve your memories, you'll forget them. So, please tell us frogs your memories of everything so far... That is what people refer to as "saving". Now then... *hop* Save your game?

Why yes!

Frog
Please be careful out there. Give my regards to the next frog you meet.

Anyway, moving on... Claus is taking on dinosaurs like it's child's play. Of course, it is...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated8.png)

Claus
*huff* *gasp* Whew, I'm beat. I've been play-fighting with the Dragos all morning. You should play too, Lucas.

'kay!

Claus
Here, try ramming into a Drago.

Alec
[gameplay mechanics are talked about here] You'll never succeed with that sullen look on your face. That holds true for anything. Just relax!

Okay... here we go!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated9.png)

Yeah! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

Claus
The harder you hit them, the more the Dragos like it.

Mole Cricket
Move it! Outta the way! Make way for the great Mole Cricket!

Mole Cricket
I can't just sit idly by when I hear someone's play-fighting! I'm gonna wipe the floor with all of you! Get in my way and you're in for a world of pain!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated10.png)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated11.png)

After a bit of clowning around...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated12.png)

We won!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated13.png)

Mole Cricket
I see you have more of a spine than I thought. If you'd like, I could train you personally sometime. Next time we meet it'll be at the big Mole Cricket Hole Stadium! I look forward to seein' you there! ... Bro.

He scurries off... *squish*

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated14.png)

Hinawa
I stepped on a mole cricket. I hope it's all right... Lunch is ready, everyone. I made you your favorite, boys. Omelets!

Claus
Ooh! Lunch, lunch! Omelets!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif) *Lucas and Claus run off*

Hinawa
You too, Dad.

*Hinawa follows the boys*

Alec
[Alec explains how to save, in case we missed the frog earlier] Now then, It's time for me to return to the story. Hey! Wait for me! You saved me some Omelets too, I hope?!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated15.png)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated16.png)

Claus
What's your favorite food, Mom? Oh? Omelets? Then your favorite is the same as ours? We make a good match!

Hinawa
After we're done eating, we need to get ready to go home. We have to go through the forest to get back, so we'll need to leave early.

Alec
Don't be silly. I bet the kids could make it there on their own, it's that safe. I bet even you could handle it, Lucas! Hahahaha!

*Hinawa steps out*

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated17.png)

Dear Flint,

Just like you said they would, the children have been running around the mountains and fields tirelessly since the moment we arrived.

Claus is as daring and full of energy as ever, while Lucas is still a bit coddled. But neither one seems tired of playing at all.

My father seems sad to say goodbye to his grandchildren after seeing them for the first time in so long, but we should be home by this evening.

I had forgotten how nice and refreshing the mountain air is. You're always covered in smell of sheep back in Tazmily village, so I really wish you could be here to take in this air.

The next time we visit, let's ask one of the neighbors to tend to the sheep so we can all come up here as a family.

Claus, Lucas, and I were always thinking about you. When we get home this evening, I'll start cooking some of your favorite Omelets right away.

With love, your dearest Hinawa.

Something hovers overhead...

If for some reason you hate to read, don't worry. I just figured since all I was doing for the first post was the prologue, I might as well do it in full. However, if you prefer it this way, I can just keep on like that. At least sorta. Whatever.

Fan art disclaimer: Since this is just a tiny forum thing and nothing super big, I don't think anyone will mind it being used. They all have the original file names as far as I know, and I won't pretend to have claim over any of it. I can't draw for squat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif)

Since I've gotten the okay about potential double, triple, or whatever postings for when I'm doing this I'll take it as read that I can double post in here whenever I feel like it in order to provide more character introductions. Of course, with limited saves to work from I can't quite get everything, but I can get some ideas from the guide book.

You've already met him, but this is, of course, Alec. He knows alot about the Nowhere Islands, has a good sense of humor, and cares deeply for his family. As you saw, he tries to lighten up even the worst of situations.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/introducing/0000-1.png)
This is Wess. Gruff, yet kind hearted, he's a retired thief currently training his son in his old ways. Don't be put off by his age though, as he's perfectly capable of getting into the action.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/0000-17.png)
This is Dona, a good friend of Hinawa. She's a sucker for art, and lives on the beach with...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/introducing/0000.png)
Bob. A bit of a drinker, he likes mysteries and telling stories.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/0000-18.png)
This is Alle. I don't really know much about her, really, but she's apparently spunky. Most of the time I see her she's with her grandfather Scamp, who got the name as a kid and I don't have a picture of apparently. Scamp can't even get out of bed he's so old...


(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/introducing/0000-4.png)
This is Nan, wife of Ed and mother of Alle who spends her time caring for Scamp. Has a knack for working with the elderly.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/introducing/0000-5.png)
This is Nana, no releation to Nan... I don't think. She likes the ocean and she's sorta quiet. Most of the time.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/introducing/0000-3.png)
This is Reggie. Has a calm and relaxed way of going through life, and advises that humans always have the power to forget.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/introducing/0000-6.png)
This is Bateau. He works with the pigeons and handles the mail. His thoughts dwell on the negative sometimes...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/introducing/0000-8.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/introducing/0000-9.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/introducing/0000-7.png)
This is Brenda, Lisa, and Jill. They're the local gossips. I'd go into them more, but I have more rain and it's making it difficult to upload so I'll just be finishing this post off now. Maybe later.

It may be worth noting that I have Image Zoom, a Fire Fox plug in. Anyone who's having trouble seeing anything may want to look into that.
