MY AWESOME TIMING
So, in case any of you were unaware (since some of you probably are, since you do not all live on this half of the planet), something like half of North America has been getting lots and lots of snow recently! And here is no exception! And sometimes they even get the sidewalks cleared before more is dumped down upon us!
But not always.
But that is not the point! The point is that the snowbanks on the sides of the roads are getting out of control - a surprising number of them are as tall as me, and all of them are over half my height - so we're talking at least 3 feet of snow. EVERYWHERE. Or at least everywhere near a road. (Or so it was on Thursday. I did not go outside today due to LAZY AND IN PAIN FROM ANKLE so maybe it's settled a bit more!) So, Tuesday night is the night before recycling is picked up, and it was my week for it, but I got home and said, SCREW THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH SNOW AND NOWHERE TO PUT THIS STUFF. So I informed my roommate the recycling was just going to wait, there were only like 5 things in the bin, anyway, okay.
Well! Wednesday morning, the recycling wasn't picked up. Maybe they're late? Wednesday afternoon, same story. Wednesday evening, IT IS STILL THERE.
Thursday morning there was a, "screw this there is too much snow we can't get to your stuff BRING IT BACK INSIDE" message! Of course, everyone who put their stuff out has neglected this message, so things are getting blown out of the bins and all over the place AWESOME, GUYS. REAL AWESOME. But, ha, the one week I decide it's not worth the effort is the week they decide the same thing.
And then today I can't really claim credit for but shhhh. So I didn't have work! But my manager didn't have next week's hours up yesterday like she was supposed to! So I called to find out my Sunday hours aaand the coworker who answered the phone told me a story! The other coworker on that night had BROKEN A WATER PIPE. So my whole department is basically underwater. BUT I WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT 'cause I didn't work today and I don't work tomorrow! YAAAY! Seriously. Though I am kind of curious as to how she managed to pull it off, and how flooded things are. But not curious enough to go investigate.
Speaking of abrupt subject changes...
Sooo. Day 23.
WHOO NO ADULT SUPERVISION. Xion! Let's party hard!
Oh, wow, she doesn't attack stuff? This might be interesting.
Okay, no, looks like she'll launch fireballs sometimes.
ICE CREAM ALL ALONE.
Haha, sorry, Roxas, I've called you "kiddo" too. XD; IF IT BOTHERS YOU, I guess I can stop.
That was an odd conversation, heh. NAMING FLASHBACK NOW.
And more ice cream. ALL ALOOONE.
First thing she's ever spoken? I dunno, but it was certainly the first thing we've ever heard her say, if that counts for anything.
WINNER-stick mystery solved! It means a free ice cream.
Saïx, why do you only get on my case? They were standing around doing nothing way before I showed up. :(
YAAAY SHE HAS A FACE.
Hey, she stole my Keyblade. Is that allowed to happen?
Haha, NEW ICE CREAM BUDDY.
Ohh, Roxas doesn’t even know if Xion can be a friend. Still not clear on the definitions, there, are you? SO SAD.
So, like, I don't mind, but why is it suddenly ALL XION, ALL THE TIME, and no running around with any of the other idiots still hanging around?
Today is TERMINATED. That's ominous. It's only been, what, three days? That's not really enough time for anything in Castle Oblivion to have gone down, but if anything it'd be… oh, who was first? The crossing story lines make it a little confusing. I think it was Creepyface Science Man? HEY. Saïx, it is totally my concern! I LIKED HAVING MY INTELLIGENCE INSULTED ALL DAY. And, right, I guess Roxas is probably worried about Axel. I AM NOT. But I have Outsider Information.
Saïx, you're mean. :< AND SO ARE YOU, XIGBAR.
Man, yeah, Demyx, it's totally a bad scene.
YAY XALDIN APPROVES OF MY WEAPON PANEL and gives me things :3
… this Moogle is new, right? It hasn't been here the whole time… RIGHT?! (Anyway, the hood is awesome, but a little confusing. IS IT A NOBODY? Or just in costume to blend in?)
… It must be new. It only says "……..". XD
OKAY IT IS NEW. Saïx solves the mystery for us! And now the Moogle talks. So. Whatever. ITS NAME IS OF NO IMPORTANCE. Clearly it just can't tell me because it can't place an X into its name on the spot! It is an imposter! /conspiracy
Did Agrabah always sit on a massive lamp, or did it look different before?
Aww, he's still worriedddd. XIGBAR SAYS: WORK FASTER, GO HOME SOONER! Oooor we can do a good, thorough investigation. IN MEMORY OF VEXEN? Or something.
Ha, Xigbar. First you're all, WELL, THE SOONER WE GO BACK… and now you're poking fun at him for wanting to return. (ZEXION WOULD BE JUDGING YOU, ROXAS.) Really, though, he needn't worry. THE MISSION GAUGE IS NOT FULL YET.
MAN, THIS IS A DEPRESSING CONVERSATION. No, man, we're not supposed to exist in the first place! Of course we don't leave any trace at all behind if we're killed!
… ? RANDOMLY UNCONSCIOUS?!
Oh, hello, Naminé. The hell just happened? Was that her screwing around with Sora's memories and Roxas being affected? Or was that her putting Sora into that sleep-stasis-thing and Roxas being affected?
… That scene on the beach with Xemnas was familiar and also did not make much sense.
Okay, yeah, looks like it was Naminé doing stuff that made me be all PASSING OUT NOW. Anyway, scheme-y plotstuff and Xemnas and Saïx talking about Xion's keyblade use and STUFF. (For some reason, I always figured Castle Oblivion took a liiiittle more time than that, like that they'd been there more than, what, a day when Sora stormed in? And that it took more than another day to rampage through it all. Maybe time passes differently there?!)
OH GEEZ DAY 49 man Roxas you sleep an awful lot. Aww, Xion, tell me about the world! Which one was it? =(
Shell collection! Hee.
Dreams of Sora? AND THEN KAIRI IS TALKING? (… woah. She sounds a lot like Xion. COINCIDENCE??)
Yaaay, awake again! But no one is around.
More seashells! … Does she always go to places with shells available, then, I guess? Or is she just that awesome, that she finds one regardless.
… it's interesting that there are entries for days 27 and 28, but that they are blank.
Haa, Demyx is recruiting me to go open chests (though, I already got all the ones from Mission 14…).
I AM NOT OWED EXPLANATIONS! They probably already know it was Sora and Donald and Goofy and Riku tearing the place apart, I'd think. THEY JUST ARE NOT TELLING ME.
Also, Xigbar? Demyx? You've been saying the same thing for, like, three days in a row, now. It's a bit concerning.
Aladdin scolding Abu triggers a Sora … can I call it a flashback? I don't know. STATIC SORA. … Silent Hill? D:!
ZOOM DAY 71!
Oh, Xigbar, you sure think you are a riot. XD "Half as loud"… ugh. XD
… YES DEMYX THIS IS OLD NEWS NOW. Or is this actual confirmation and we were just all *mostly* sure earlier? Either way: MORE SAD ROXAS.
… underachieve twice as hard. XD Go, Demyx, go!
OH ROXAS YOU ARE SAD. :( You and your ice cream. ICE CREAM OF SORROW.
OKAY SO. THIS "Destroy the shadow globs" mission? I just completed it 100% WITHOUT ANY MAGIC. It was kind of a challenge, getting some of those ones that were really high on the wall with no way to get to them. (My method: I let myself get beat up, and then used the boost from the limit break to carry me across the extra distance. Why? Because I am a lunatic. I wanted full completion and didn't have any Fire spells equipped and Blizzard doesn't seem to have any effect.)
BUT WHATEVER LOOK AXEL FINALLY STAGGERED BACK. Yaay, angst-free ice cream time!
(Though, you know, where is Xion, anyway? I know we skipped a million days and she could have been there for every single one of them, but far as I know, it's been like twenty days since her last appearace.)
Checking all of Castle Oblivion = counting all the dust in a room full of sneezing people = EXCELLENT ANALOGY. Good job, Axel.
Roxas is a "slap on the wrist"? LOOK AT HIS FACE: SHOCKED AND APPALLED. But whyyyyy?
And then I was going to play today but instead I sat around reading and occasionally poking at things in Pokémon (I CAUGHT A VULPIX I am pleased :3 But - bwuh? DS have global communication? What the heck?) (ALSO CHIKORITA NEEDS TO STOP TRYING TO EVOLVE I SWEAR TO GOD *B B B B B B* BAYLEEF IS NOT CUTE AND I DO NOT WANT IT) SO INSTEAD YOU JUST GET THIS HERE.
It's been cold again, by the way, but I have finally adapted to it and no longer find the sub-freezing temperatures to be THE MOST EVILEST OF EVILS. I still don't like them and know better than to walk to work when it's too cold, but, eh.
...Also, I am ridiculously thirsty today. DRINKING SO MUCH. I am turning into some sort of strange, tea-drinking arctic camel, maybe!
But not always.
But that is not the point! The point is that the snowbanks on the sides of the roads are getting out of control - a surprising number of them are as tall as me, and all of them are over half my height - so we're talking at least 3 feet of snow.
