This entry is entirely Kingdom Hearts
No, really. The entire thing.
AND THEN POKÉMON ATE MY BRAIN FOR A BIT but now we're back, still on Day 72.
Demyx does not know where Xion is.
Collecting hearts again, whee.
MAKING IT QUICK YIELDS SORA FLASHES.
… oh, wow, it's Pete. Hunting for the magic lamp. XD And we're going to follow him! Don't worry, Roxas! We can follow Pete and kill Heartless! MULTITASKING! :D
Or flexible thinking. *MEMORIZES IT*
Wha – Okay, I wasn't expecting to be teleported directly behind him. XD
Oh, man, this is the most hilariously terrible stealth mini-game ever. XDDD I do wish they didn't force me into a target lock, though. Or that Roxas could walk backwards, maybe. Something.
QUESTIONS! "Roxas, we wouldn't be investigating if we knew all the answers."
MORE QUESTIONS! … Roxas. We wouldn't be investigating if we knew all the answers! Axel, you're obviously nicer about it than I would've been.
Me keep tailing him? Wait, are you going somewhere, or just being blatant about the fact that I'm the one doing all the work? … The latter.
The other Organization members must be wondering what we've got up to, since we have apparently been at this all day now.
OOPS WE LOST HIM.
Haha, investigation is only important when it isn't a huge pain, is that it, Axel? (Oh, right, no, I forgot. FLEXIBLE THINKING. Of course, I get it. XD AND HEY! Roxas gets it, too!)
… Axel, I love you dearly and all, but please don't warp to my location while I'm mid-jump. It makes me crash into you and then I nearly didn't make it across (KEYBLADE PROPULSION TO THE RESCUE).
So, I really want to make some comment of some sort regarding Sora coming up over ice cream, but I am not sure what I want to say, or what tone I'd want to say it in. Just. Stuff! Like, some part of me is kind of annoyed that Axel doesn't tell Roxas what's up, but I also totally understand why he didn't, and now I wonder if he had any idea Roxas would have to, uh, merge or whatever with Sora and BLAH WORDS AND FEELINGS. Seriously it's taken me 20 minutes to write this paragraph.
And still no Xion. (It is getting a bit suspicious, isn't it, Roxas?)
Hee, Xaldin does not ask for a Blazing Shard. He just demands one. XD
YAY NEW WORLD! Which one, which one?? Beauty and the Beast / Beast's Castle! Excitingggg. (Heey, and I won't ever need to fight Xaldin.)
Hee! No, Roxas, that's not a Heartless roaring in the background. XD
UGH I AM SO SICK OF TRYING TO DOUBLE JUMP. JUST STOP IT, SELF!
…
Anyway.
Haha, that was a long way just to get right behind the main door. XD
OH NO the roaring thing is still here! Roxas! Time for FLEXIBLE THINKING! Ooor you could decide it's time to RTC. RTC NOW! Silly Mission 100% ruining all my fun.
Aww, Axel's wandered off again and Xion still hasn’t shown up anywhere. ANGST ICE CREAM RETURNS. Poor Roxas. :(
OH NO XION HAS RUN AWAY or something. Maybe she forgot to complete the mission. She got distracted looking for seashells. Our job today is to help her locate the seashell and RTC. Okay maybe I am making the part about seashells up, BUT ONLY MAYBE. (Should I steal another of Axel's lines and tell you to go back to bed now?)
You know, considering I never even use the bottom screen for anything, I am not sure why SE made this for the DS.
Hahaaa, oh, Demyx, you are the laziest ever. Or maybe you're really just trying to be very helpful, but I suspect, and by your own admittance, which I doubt is just an elaborate cover-up BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, it is just that you are lazy.
And Axel gives me stuff, too! Even though we are going TOGETHER.
Oh, Christ, not more Zip Slashers. THAT LAST ONE TOOK FOR EVER. :<
DAMN YOU CYMBAL MONKEY! Mimics have only ever bothered me in FFXI (where they EAT YOUR DAMN FACE OFF HOLY CRAP, they're nasty, though now I know a trick for identifying them, at least), but CYMBAL MONKEEEEEY. You rapscallion.
… I LIKE HOW EVERYTHING, EVER, IN MY LIFE CAN BE RELATED BACK TO FFXI SOMEHOW. There you go, folks, the number 1 reason to not ever play it: YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE. Even if you stop playing. (Not that I have stopped playing. I am just saying. It irreversibly alters your worldview.)
(HERE IS ANOTHER ONE: monsters in FFXI spawn "dead" – you can't immediately target them, their name is greyed out, and you have to wait a moment before you can attack/claim them. The things in this game are similar, in that you can't immediately lock onto them. You have to wait a few seconds.) (They didn't always do that. It was added later to help combat camping and claiming via bot-usage.)
Eavesdropping on Olette and Hayner sent us into the tunnels, where we encountered PENCE AGGRO. AAAA NO DON'T TALK TO US. NO ONE IS EVER ALLOWED TO TALK TO UUUUSSSS (… or so it's been thus far). Also, Pence being friendly is making me get all sad thinking about the end of the LONGEST PROLOGUE EVER that was the beginning of Kingdom Hearts II even though that hasn't actually happened yet because GOD FORBID Squeenix release things in the order they happen. XD (Not that it actually bothers me, I just find it vaguely amusing. OKAY HERE IS THE FIRST GAME. Now here are some prequels, sequels, prequels to the sequel, more sequels, more prequels, some prequels to the prequels…)
Hey, wait, did we just have introductions without actually supplying our own names? AWESOME.
Axel, could you at least put the damn chakrams away while we're standing around normal people? Come on, man. Black outfit, lunatic hairstyle, and WEAPONS. Honestly, could you look any sketchier? … AND NO THAT WASN'T A CHALLENGE.
NEVER FEAR, GUYS! I KNOW WHERE THE "USUAL SPOT" IS!
Yaaay, surprise cognitive challenge! LET US SEE HOW HARD IT IS.
(Not very.)
TIME TO GO POUND SOME TREES!
The wall says, "IT'S THERE… IT'S HUNGRY… DON'T TURN AROUND!" WTF?!
Eeew, it's one of those cameleon-types.
YAY XION HI … SORRY FOR DISTRACTING YOU AND GETTING YOU CLOBBERED BY THAT THING. Uh.
Oh, man, that is really weird – and neat – that her appearance really does change depending on who's point of view we're looking from.
She looks so saaaaad. :<
Can't use the Keyblade anymore? Or WON'T? Is this somehow related to Sora? (Or maybe Riku harassed you and STUFF?) I don't even know where, exactly, that thought came from, but I'm writing it down because it's weird. (Well, I mean. Mickey and Sora and so Roxas, too are the only two Keyblade wielders, really, at this point, that we know of. So. I DON'T KNOW OKAY SHUT UP.)
Don't be sad, Xion! :<
… Roxas, why the hell would Axel be able to do anything about that?
WAIT, CAN THEY DO THAT? Turn people into Dusks? THAT'S SCARY I DON'T LIKE THAT.
Axel's brilliant solution: ROXAS NEVER SLEEPS. EVER. COLLECT ALL THE HEARTS EVERYWHERE.
Yaaay, everyone is friends! (AND THEY ALL GET TO DIE / GO AWAY / WHATEVER. DAMN THIS GAME. I am at least having an easier time not thinking about it, since I am… reasonably confident that SE is not actually capable of making the ending as TERRIBLE AND ARGH-MAKING as the end of Crisis Core, but it is still going to be pretty bad, and there is still the whole EVERYONE DIES thing hovering over meeee and it is depressing and I am suddenly feeling all EVERYTHING IS GOING TO GO TO HELL NOW, ISN'T IT which may just be paranoia setting in because basically them eating ice cream and being happy reminded me that THIS SIMPLY CANNOT END WELL.)
(Also, I have no idea what happens to Xion other than that she never shows up or is even mentioned in the other games! Which, on one hand, is kind of anxiety-producing, but on the other at least I am not playing the whole game going AND THEN AT THE END I AM GOING TO BE GUNNED DOWN BY SHINRA TROOPS AND CLOUD'S LIFE WILL KIND OF BE RUINED A LITTLE HOORAY.)
FINALLYYYYY. Something will happen now when I hit B again while in the air! Not double-jump, BUT STILL AWESOME. YAY. YAAAY.
Put two half-pints together and you get a whole! YOU CANNOT ARGUE WITH THAT LOGIC, SAÏX. And so he does not. Hooray!
Well. Thank goodness clocks have poor eyesight and worse hearing, I suppose. (Whaaat the hell are these "stealth" missions even… XD)
… Okay. I know they were going LOOK IT IS ABU, but the conversation didn't work so well. Oh, look! Heartless! WHATEVER SHOULD WE DO ABOUT IT? Also, I like how it's up to Xion whether or not we pick the thing up. Roxas just won't have anything to do with something if it doesn't come in a tidy little item box.
DESERT = SORA RUNNING. Though, didn't Sora not actually do that much running around the desert in the first game? I don't recall. Maybe he took the carpet and maybe he just walked.
Hee. Oh, Xion, I like you. "When it doubt, give it a good smack!" She has clearly played her fair share of video games.
Also, I am digging this Air Slide thing. It's not as awesome as a double jump or proper glide would be, but it makes things easier. And also my teammates use it, so Xion's keeping up with me instead of falling down and warping in front of me the way Axel was. (That said, I'm not unconvinced he wasn't doing it on purpose.)
Pete, you're kind of pathetic to fight against.
CARPET ATTACK! SORA FLASHES! It knows meee. Or. Something.
… Genie, the graphics in this game are not kind to you.
Aww, it does know me. Strange, that. I wonder how it identifies people, anyway. Sure raises some questions.
I HAVE AN IDEA. HOW ABOUT I DECLARE THE THREE OF YOU BEST FRIENDS AND THEN YOU CAN ALL STOP WONDERING ABOUT IT. YAAAY.
ROXAS AND XION ARE ADORABLE WHY DO PEOPLE HATE XION SHE IS ADORABLE REPETITION
I cannot even begin to tell you how tempted I am to answer "He ate the castle's master." I'M NOT GOING TO. But I am sorely tempted to.
AND NOW IT'S DAY 94 MAN TIME FLIES AROUND HERE come on, guys, it's short enough as things are, why do you have to keep jumping ahead? *says the girl who will quite merrily spend weeks at a time running around doing pointless missions if the game they're in entertains her*
XEMNAS HAS SUMMONED US. Ominiousssss.
Hey, this is where Sora and Riku and Donald and Goofy will take off from to kick your butt, Xemnas! I'll have been here!
POOF – KINGDOM HEARTS APPEARS.
… Xemnas, I honestly don't quite know why we've organized. You have your own bizarre agenda and I'm not even going to pretend I know every last detail of it.
Oh, hey, I can see Kingdom Hearts from The Gray Area windows. That's kinda neat.
… Wow, I just got run over by the I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE Dx anxiety train. COME ON, SELF, WE'RE NOT EVEN HALFWAY THERE YET. I've clearly just been thinking about it too much. CHANGE THE SUBJECT, BRAIN. Go catch more critters or something.
Tomorrow (well, today, really, since it is after midnight and all) I have the day off. I AM GOING TO FINISH MY TAXES (all I have left to do is copy, assemble, and mail it all. The "filling it all out" bit is done) and probably game moar. (This entry would be longer, but I'd already marked the above as the cut-off point and meh.)
AND THEN POKÉMON ATE MY BRAIN FOR A BIT but now we're back, still on Day 72.
