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.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated7.png)

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.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated18.png)

Something hovers overhead...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated19.png)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/M3Translated20.png)


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.

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Time certainly flies, doesn't it? Alright. Time to start Lucas's adventure finally. Let's-a gooo!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_01.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_02.png)

... Oh. Right...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_03.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_04.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_05.png)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/misc/emotion/MAG_fonz.gif)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_06.png)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/misc/emotion/emot-smith.gif)

Anyway, back outside to see what the heck the noise was about...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_07.png)

Great. Lightning struck the sheep pen. Again. They're alright though. The ones that are charred black are even smiling. Anyway, before I can get going anywhere, Boney insists that he take Lucas for a walk.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_08.png)

Up the path, a save frog tells Lucas that from now on he'll be rewarded for his hard work, and, basically he gets money now as he gains experience. Which he can "withdraw" from frogs. Very nice. Also, a pigmask says we must really love being unhappy, not having a happy box and all and letting things like the lightning happen. How jerky can you be? Anyway, time for dialogue of interest since the story's sorta aimless at the moment.

Man
The DCMC band has a bassist named Lucky. He seems a little bum-like, but apparently he's a really good performer.

Brenda
Oh, hey there, Lucas. I hear your dad's STILL hiking up in the mountains, looking for Claus. You should really tell him yourself that it's about time he gave up already.

Pigmask
Lightning struck Reggie's tent. But that's what he gets for not having a Happy Box...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_09.png)
Ah.

Man
That woman over there... She keeps looking this way... I wonder if she likes me. Oh, I'm so nervous. *thump thump*

Woman
That man over there... He keeps looking this way... I wonder if he likes me. Oh, I'm so nervous. *thump thump*

Alec
Oh, Lucas. How've you been? Lightning hit my mountain cabin a million times, making it impossible to live in anymore. I know it's hard to imagine the lightning was trying to hit my house specifically... but come on! One million times?!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_11.png)

To be honest, I don't get what the big deal is.

Mike
Oh, Lucas. Did you come all the way here to see me?
>Yes
Oh, okay. I was feeling lonely, since my grandkids never come to see me. But since you were nice enough to come to see me, I'll give you a little spending money. It's not much, but here you go. Keep it a secret from my grandkids, though.

(recieved 50DP!)

Mike
I can't keep burdening Lisa forever, but I do have a Happy Box and nice-bodied girls like Nan and Linda here to keep me company, so I'm pretty happy in my own way. Nyahahahaha!

Linda
I'm sorry, Mike, but that's called sexual harassment these days.

Mike
This is a hard world we live in now. How disappointing.

(On the message board)
I have sand in my shoes, and I don't know what to do. Somebody do something! (Nana)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/cmw-Nana.png)

Nana
It would probably be best if you didn't talk to me. Got that?
> No.
Are you really sure? Everyone hates me, you know. They all say I talk too much and never shut up. Are you sure you don't wanna turn back now?
>Don't turn back.
Do you know what a trumpet is? I was actually thinking about learning how to play the trumpet... but I didn't. It's not that I was bad at it or anything. That's just how it was destined to be. Do you know what destiny is? Destiny. If you do, then that's cool. My destiny just didn't cross the destiny of trumpets. That's all. But thanks to my not taking up the trumpet, I can use the time I would've spent practicing it on other things. That's one way of looking at it. It's not like I'm doing something wrong here. Yeah. I'll start something else, and who knows, maybe that'll turn out well. Like maybe I could start practicing the yanopi... Do you know what a yanopi is? It's the proper term for a piano. What if I start practicing the yanopi now and wind up being the greatest yanopist ever, charming the hearts of men the world over? If that happens, it'd mean I was right about everything, wouldn't it? My fate still hasn't kissed the yanopis' fate at a crosswalk just yet, but nobody knows what the future holds. Not even mole crickets, water striders, or horned owls. Hey, you. Smile. Yes. You have a really cute smile, you know that? So, anyway, basically....

(Fade out)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_12.png)

Nana
You know, I think I could start to like you...

Jeez I don't remember it being that long. Anyway, I think that's enough silly quirky things, news of what's happened these past three years, and recent events. I'm going to take a brief typing break thanks to Nana though...

... and we're back.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_13.png)

Flint
It's been a while. You should go talk with your mom.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_15.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_16.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_17.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/20060608_41144.jpg)

Wife of Flint
Mother of the twins Claus and Lucas
Daughter of Alec
May the beautiful Hinawa rest in peace here for all time.

Anyway, back to exploring.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_21.png)

Jackie
But just think about it. No one's seen hide nor hair of Duster since he disappeared three years ago. It's gotta be him.

(the train pulls away)

Bronson
C'mon, now. That's nonsense! Oh. Hey there, Lucas. Hmm? Oh, it's nothing. There's this concert hall named Club Titiboo past the factory, and the bass player there looks kinda like Duster. Jackie here is convinced he's Duster.

Jackie
But he looks JUST like him...! I really think we should tell old man Wess.

Bronson
Maybe if we knew for sure, but we'd only wind up disappointing Wess if it turns out we're wrong. The guy we saw just happens to look a lot like Duster. We don't know any more than that. Period. Anyways, time to head home and have some chow while I watch the Happy Box.

Jackie
You took the words right out of my mouth! I'm staving, too!

Bronson
Well, see ya, Lucas. Tell Flint I say hi.

Well, well. Guess we've got an idea where to go now. Unfortunately, the train won't be coming for a while... leaving only one option...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_22.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_25.png)

Mr. T
I dunno what your story is, but you're still young! Don't just throw away your life! Okay?! Alright, then. Now that you understand, go on! And just forget about me. See ya.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_26.png)

Oh my God I just met Mr. T and he saved my life. Well, maybe I'll just talk to Wess instead of taking this into my own hands...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_29.png)

Wess
Quit ruining this town any more than you already have! (Everyone turns to look at Wess) There's something not right about all this lightning, especially today's! I think you guys are behind it somehow! Leave this instant! Keep your grubby hands out of this town's affairs!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_30.png)

Fassad
You know, if you keep making the veins on your forehead pop out like that, happiness will only escape you. By which I mean your hair, in this case.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_31.png)

Fassad
Well, it's been fun. Please be careful not to trip, get hurt, or go bald on your way home.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_32.png)

Wess
I'm no bug! I'm an old man!

(The pigmask drags Wess off)

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_35.png)

Fassad
Don't get in my way! (stops whispering) Lucas... I really wish you would put a Happy Box in your home already, so you can be happy just like everyone else here. (He returns to the small group of people) I'm always hoping for that day.

What a jerk. Better check up on Wess...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_36.png)

Wess
but curse that Fassad, treating me like a bug! ... Like a stag beetle! ... What? A guy who looks just like Duster? Could that moron still be...? (He turns around, then back quickly) Lucas!! I'll now lower my voice and talk to you in a whisper! I hate to ask, but could you go and see if this look-alike really is my moron or not? Fassad's cronies are on the lookout for me, so I can't go anywhere or do anything. Please. Go find that moron for me. (He takes the messenger pigeon on the floor and gives it to Lucas) If you do find Duster, send this pigeon to let me know.

Dove
Coo-coo, coooooo! (At long last, my time to be useful has come!)

(Received the Carrier Pigeon!)

Wess
Thanks, Lucas. I'd go myself, but everyone's on the lookout for me.

I feel conflicted. It seems the only thing here that can be done is to directly go against the advice of the great Mr. T. I hope he understands...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_37.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_38.png)

Mr. T
I dunno what reasons you got, but it looks like you wanna go through this tunnel, right? I know you won't listen to me if I try and stop you, so here, I'll give you this instead.

(Got a Railway Map!)

Mr. T
Do you know what the most frightening things inside the tunnel are? Nope, they're not Slitherhens or Muttshrooms or anything like that. The answer is... trains. Trains are the most dangerous things of all in there. So be very careful not to get hit by any.

(The gallant Mr. T makes his leave)

Well, I think that's a lot for one post. I think. I'll just finish up this tunnel... Here's some weird enemies.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_39.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_40.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_41.png)

Up ahead...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_42.png)

Hm... This may bear some investigation...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_44.png)

Ionia
Oh, aren't you that boy I met at Aeolia's house three years ago? ♥ Remember? You said you were going to the Drago Plateau to avenge your mother... Huh? That wasn't you?! Really? How odd... I'm Ionia, one of the Magypsies. ♥

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_45.png)

Ionia
I often come here to be revitalized after I've worn myself out by overusing my PSI. ♥ Are you here because you overused your PSI, too? ♥ ... Oh? You've never heard of PSI? ... That's odd. I sense loads of magical power coming from you. ♥

(Ionia turns Lucas around)

Ionia
... Wait. Just endure it for a little bit. (Lucas closes his eyes and is held underwater) Don't struggle! Just endure it for a bit! Yeesh! Just a little more! OK!!

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_46.png)

Something awoke inside Lucas! Lucas learned Lifeup α! Lucas learned Healing α! Lucas learned Offense Up α! Lastly, power welled up from deep within his heart! Lucas realized the power of PK Love α! Lucas learned how to use PSI!

Ionia
Oh! My goodness! ♥ I can't believe it! You can use PK Love! Not even we Magypsies are able to use it! You sly devil, you! ♥ I don't know where you come from or where you're going, but we might meet again. ♥ So at least tell me your name. ..... Lucas. Thanks. I'll remember that. ♥ Now go. I want to boil up, too. ♥

Well that was awesome. Lucas can blow stuff up now. More enemies.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_48.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_47.png)

Almost out, when...

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_49.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_50.png) (IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_51.png)

and finally, the ordeal with the tunnel is over.

(IMG:http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g281/worthlessnewbie/EarthBound/RS/AdventureLucas/M3Translated_52.png)

That wraps up this post. T be with you.
