This is for poeple who likes to add in something or chat about the Narritive...

1) My name is Eric, Erich is someone else, Eric ( who is actually quite smart for a 14 yr old) is Chrono_war01. Erich, it's not you in the story, and his mentor might be called: ( I kno this spells differently if you read the books from where I get the name)
Darius Shan
Larten Cresply
Steve Lepoardo
Steve O'shea
Alberto
Alexander Romanov
Yuri
Or just Eric's mentor ( who I will insist on calling him Steve O'Shea or Larten)

It seems that the story is running with these characters so far:
Dan/Daniel : captain, a depressed man worried about finances and scared by something in his past.
Eric: 1st mate...somewhat clumsy, but of good intent.
Albatross: the 147 foot ship with a shallow draft, prone to being skittish on the open sea.

So, Dan's Eric mentor?

Dunno yet...he is the captain, but that may not necessarily be the same...hmmm...the plot thickens.

... I'm confused, so far I've determined that Dan and Eric (not erich) are albatrosses sailing aboard the chrono_war01, and have just recently run into a thinckening plot. I guess that makes sense when you think about it standing on your head! Anyway, if the stories any good it has to contain waffles, so...

Dan and Eric were sitting in the cabin of their ship calmy eating waffles, when suddenly a giant octopus came swimming out of the thickening plot!

NOW THE STORIE'S EXCITING!

I know, I know, let's add in a deck of cards, pancakes, waffles and watermelons into the ever thickening plot!

Dan and Eric are not Albatrosses, silly, the boat is called Albatross

I voted for Steve O'Shea. I hope he doesn't mind, now who would like to be in the story as we go fiuther into this plot..

What's Eric's mum's name?

Oh darn, I've been online so long I burnt the spuds :mad:

Guess it's back to beans and sausages tonight.

What all this got to do with mums?
Fact: My mom's name is Jackie ( Not Jacky)

By the way while I was looking at the web for games, I cam across a interesting artcile about how someone has putted motion-dectecing cameras in the sea with a jellyfish lure that has pretty lights on it, and the lure flashes intervals of flashes that experts say might be to attract bigger predators to eat one that's attacking a jellyfish. It also serves as a tool to see how life goes on after after we move away from the site with our annoyingly bright lights and noise from the sub. They took pics of a large ( but not giant) squid, a 6 or 7 gill shark ( don't remember and some other stuff.
Anyone seen the site?

IMPORTANT:

This thread's name is supposed to be Talk Rambling Ceph, however, you can't change it.....
Also poeple, go and continue to write poeple! Since you can't continue with only a person that keeps on droning on and on and on....like me.
Add in a new plot, a new sub plot, a paragraph, a sentence, whatever!!! Just write poeple!!!

I strongly reccomend using the word waffles.

So there they were, consuming waffle after waffle, when Jackie burst into the room, chased by the toaster. "Eric", she yelled. "OFF THE COMPUTER!! Do your homework!!" At that moment Slithery, Eric's pet tree-octopus, dropped his waffles and in a fit of excitement lept from the bedpost, clambered up Jackie's leg and perched himself atop her head. Arms, legs, suckers, slime and ink flew in every direction. Jackie dropped her Milo and ran screaming from the room. The confused toaster scurried after her.

:shock:

Dr Steve O'Shea, talk about being indecent! :mad: Why in the world are you sneaking arounding my house and looking at my PRIVATE diary! Wait, I'll turn off the computer and do some howwork now, ( after I get Slithery off the toaster which is perched on top of my mom's head... :lol:

please continue with the story!
I'm waiting.....since i can't just write the whole story out myself...please one paragraph, 1 sentence, whatever! Just write

Now I'm going to pour maple syrup over my waffles.
( We need a waffle and eating waffle icon)

At that moment Slithery, Eric's pet tree-octopus, dropped his waffles and in a fit of excitement lept from the bedpost, clambered up Jackie's leg and perched himself atop her head. Arms, legs, suckers, slime and ink flew in every direction.

I love tree octopuses, thay are the coolest. I wish I had one.

By the way, what ever happened to the guys sitting in the boat that was running head on into a thickening plot?

...what ever happened to the guys sitting in the boat that was running head on into a thickening plot?

He's still going strong on another thread

um...yeh... :hmm:

Oh please poeple, I'm begging you to write something on a rambling ceph! Please....... :oops: Please...anyone please.

Nice going Steve, you just ended the story before the end of chapter 1.
But we could continue with that as his main chartacter, but why the anti-Eric? What's wrong with my name, I think it's very nice. LOL, just being a bit sad here. :sad: ( See I told you I'm sad!)

A dream???????? Maybe he should go back to sleep so we can see how his friend is rescued........

No, let's not. Let's delete the Jack part...


A tear fell on the meal .... they commenced their descent. It would be six hours before they reached the bottom. Six long hours. And the waters were dangerous ... riddled with taniwha, giant squid, and the colossal two-jawed fangiwhale.

Whats a taniwha two-jawed fangiwhale?

Everyone who wants to delete the Jack part say Aye!

opps, fprgot about this. I'm currewntly making a modified version pf the story before the part that starts to get messed up. :wink:

Here it is:
Download now, no virusus no nuthin, download now, download now, download now.

Unpopular post on my part ay? Hmmmmm. You seriously want me to reconsider?

It's not over yet ... note the 'premonition' comment. It was part true, and partly a glimpse into the future ... maybe. Perhaps all of this will happen all over again ... or perhaps Jack will have this recurring dream again ... and we can find out whether the cables supporting the sub get fouled in reef, on a whale, or have broken altogether.

Anti-Eric? No. Jack is, no doubt, about to meet an Eric, and his dream will start to make sense.

Oh, jolly good, I like the name Eric, Eric is such a good name. :lol:
And if anyone in interested, I have made a version that makes sense.Download now!
What's that creature about 2-jawed whales and taniwhai?

Well, this is getting werider by the moment, would someone please see the modified version.
If anyone knows which direction I want the stroy to go to, see the under water shooting game thread also started by me.

Ok poeple, listen up we have an update here:
Dan - Ship's captain ( NOT Eric's mentor)
Eric - Sidekick
Eric's mentor - Well, Eric's mentor...
Alberto - Sucessful chef and pro-fisher

To be added:
Greg - Rescued reseracher + Eric's good pal
Jack - Guy in Dream + Soon to meet Eric

Creatures:
Kraken - Badass Octo living in a sunken Spainish Galleon
Sharks and pals - Currently in Pacific killing salvage crew of USS Vanguard and Yamato
O'l Archie - Giant Squid that has lights
Nessie - Soon to be seen in Chapter 10 if noboby messes with my plot.
Medusa - Large lethal jellyfsh that like to collide with humans
Giant Anglerfish - Giant Deep Sea Anglerfish that is large enough to eat sumersibles and will gladly do so.

Mre will be coming soon if no one here's messes with me or one of the creature lists will say Kraken - Currently devouring ignorant fourm members. You have been warned.

Well, I'm glad that you've gone to the point of outlining the story, but this one is unscripted...that is half the fun ! Other members have posted stories before, maybe you should write a full length one and put it up for us to read ? I enjoy your writing!

Hmmm...time to twist the plot.

I'm catching up slowly, and I had to post that the Greg/Eric dream confusion is reminescent of a Stanislaw Lem book. I'm thinking of the novel that starts with the hilarious scene in which the narrator is not dreaming but taking short steps backward through time, just enough to get punched by his slightly younger self. :lol:

Melissa

:confused: I'm still scratching my head. .... right about where I cut it after slipping on cat biscuit on the toilet floor, and hitting the couch that I'd absent-mindedly left in there.

I'm reading this....laughing....scratching my head.....but keep coming back for more.....MORE......why????WHY?????...... ...

Who the heck is Stephen??!!?!!
I have no idea where this is going, but has anyone read my modified version?

I don't know - I'm so thoroughly confused. Cthulu is to blame!

Yes, I agree! Let's start a riot!

Down with the story, down with the story! Down with the story!

Oh please note thiws poeple, I making a short story for school, does anyone want to add into another Narritive style thing, ( but I have to base the story I line on one from me, ( Something that goes with the under water shooting game thread.)

Down with the story????? The storyline has finally succeeded in corrupting me and you want to Down the story line?????? I am still ROFL......Please continue with this insanity......

Did you know that seagulls had ears ... and that wind whistled through them when they flew (it must whistle between this gulls ears, coz it apears to be quite stupid).

What is going on in this forum? Does someone need aid writing a narrative? Or is it just the ceph-lovers way of getting rid stress.

Confused, bewildered, and utterly insane,
Squidman

I just want poeple to add in some parts and other things for my story

P.S: It's for school

I posted some lame, annoying intrusions into the thread (which I later found and removed - thanks, Greg), but now I understand and love. I've never actually seen one of these rambling stories before, as, prior to tonmo.com, had always eschewed discussion groups. This is awesome! Alberto is, so far, my favorite character, as he's both a chef AND proficient with high-powered weaponry, two things I love (now) purely recreationally. Too bad he blew-up the sea monster in question, though. He might not be too bright, ultimately, but I'm certain this gentleman of the galley has a good heart. Unless the next posting proves otherwise, of course.

Erich :cthulhu:

To answer some of the questions posted above, yep, some of us are actually writers...this is a free-association tale, nothing cohesive except the diversity....I do love a good irony, don't you?
CW is doing a great job of writing a continuous plot line story, if the ups and downs of the rambling thread are too confusing for anyone...

I wonder when Arioch is going to make an appearance? Or maybe Alberto is more than just a cook????

We have decided that Eric's mentor is Larten on my short story but I havn't decided on the one for here.

New question:

New question:

Plotless story? Sir, this story has a rigid set of guidelines and regulations! Those rules are :
