The result of overpopulation in the NES was not a good one. Thre unsanity was stretched thin, and lost on most. Only Alt, Chill, Pierce and Mary, Pickle and Shack, and DB still carried it with them, keeping it close to their minds. They left progressively as they tired of the boredom. . . .
P: We're finally out. . . .
Alt: Yeah. . .being the god of the NES was too much. I'll let that place kick it's own ass as it's dying.
M; Heh, yeah.
*slaps P*
P: What was that for?
M: . . . .
P: . . . .
Chill: Another ellipsis battle.
M: . . . .
P: . . . .
Alt: They never end.
M: . . . .
P: . . . .
They left quietly from the NES, determined to never return to it. He let the people with randomness in their heads to change the paradigm- he would only check up rarely.
Alt: We're out now. . .should we start something new?
Chill: Maybe. . . .
Alt: For those deemed unsane, they can continue here. When the Chronicle of the NES hits 100 pages, we shall let it die.
They left, to return only rarely as long as the NES lived.

This is a restructure of the Neverending Story. Posts should be NES-style dialogue intermixed with relevant bits of prose. Unsanity and humor is appreciated, and is in fact the entire core and purpose of the thread. All are welcome, unless they spend all of their time trying and epically failing to be funny and unsane through obstreperous randomness.

"A newcomer? Is that good or bad? Alt! Come judge!"
F: Welcome. Strange that this is the place you chose to make your first post, but whatever. I'm Frank, and that guy^ is Poison.
"Nice to meet you?"

Pickle: Fear not lilliputian hedge pig, I haft figurest this conundrum out.
Shack: Haft?!
Pickle: Yes haft.
*Shack throws his hand behind Pickles head to slap it, Pickle deftly maneuvers out of the way, pulling their conjoined body to the ground*
Shack: This is my life...
Pickle: Hast thou no interest in hearing my solution to the great question?!
*Shack shrugs his shoulder*
Pickle: We are here. Which is not where we were, nor where we were before that!
Shack: Brilliant...so Jess, after you answer my first question, as my intensely stupid companion here has failed to do so, where did you find Carter?

*Manta is still on his journey to find himself, but Avicus remains on the mainland to converse with everyone and watch the events unfold*

A: New meat? Or... old meat? Or... refrigerated meat? Sounds right. Meat who hasn't shown up since the days of the NES, anyway... So many people. D:
*Wishes for pencil and paper, makes list of all the members of the Aftermath*
Avicus, Manta, Chill, Alt, Jess, Skye, Carter, Charlie, Kitty, KingRyan, not Frank, Poison, Nicho, Demus, PierMary (neither of whom have shown up since Pierce told m- never mind), Pickle, Shack, Uh... Midsummer and Knight? This thing is too long.
Ma (loudly, from jungle): That's what she said!
A: *Throws rock in Manta's general direction* Go back on your journey!
Ma (loudly, from jungle): That's what she said!
A: You twelve-year-old! No offense, Alt.
Alt: None taken.
A: Ah, welcome back, Pickle and Shack.
Jess: That rhyme was way better!

Aw, snap! Double posting!

*Whilst on his journey to find himself, Manta comes across an old friend...*

Ma: God, these vines are everywhere!
*A bubbling sound can be heard in the distance*
Who's that?
*More bubbling*
Who is there? Show yourself, coward!
*Tao tackles Manta*
Tao: *Bubbles*
Ma: Tao! Little buddy! Where have you been?
Tao: Lost in the NES, amongst the spam and lack of structure.
Ma: Oh, that make- Wait, you don't talk. You're a baby manta ray.
Tao: *Confused bubbling noises*
Ma: Ah... nevermind.

Alt: I had a breathtaking dialogue with Chill primed to release to you guys, but I lost what I wrote. A shame. Don't worry though, I'm always here, waiting to stab you or give you cyanide milkshakes or something.

Ma & Tao: *Tackle Avicus*
Ma: Look who I found!

*An odd man walks up, seeming to talk to himself*

Bob: Wonder if they haves food?
Bob: Me doubts it, just look at their uglyness.
Bob: Me don't have to be mean, they might be good people.
Bob: Me thinks everyone is good, and look where it has got us.

*The odd 'men' stop in front of everyone*
