Watson VS THE WORLD?
So I guess an IMB computer won Jeopardy. I'd meant to watch, but then I forgot completely, so I got the story from my brother, who apparently did watch? My father was excited about it, because there's a reasonably decent chance some of his work is in that thing. (He doesn't know where everything he designs / builds goes, but he's very good at what he does and I guess not a lot of people do what he does, so...?) Anyway, that's exciting, and maybe a little alarming. XD
(And also, this weirdly reminds me, but apparently one of my coworkers - and I mean, not just in the store, but in my department - she works two departments - won the national bagging competition, which... apparently exists! Good for her! And then the newspaper people were in the store yesterday interviewing people about her, but I managed to escape their notice 'cause we had someone working the cake window. Ha!)
So I tricked my roommate into buying me Final Fantasy XIII figures instead of paying me back directly (I say tricked, but it cut something like 10 dollars off what she'd have owed me otherwise, so really we both won). And they arrived... at some point in the last few days! So now I have Fang and Vanille and I went and bought Lightning, 'cause I found her for a little cheaper than the usual price, but she's still wandering the postal service or something. But! Okay, I have heard some bad things about some of the FFXIII play arts figures, but these two look so awesome. *_* Their faces are not super weird or anything. My only real complaint is that, unlike previous play arts lines, they didn't really bother with heights, so they are the same (actually, and it might just be how and where I have them standing, but it looks like Vanille is actually a hair taller than Fang). BUT WHATEVER I CAN DEAL WITH IT. (The shininess of Fang's hair actually bothers me more, I think. It is REALLY, REALLY SHINY.)
TODAY WAS MY DAY OFF AND I spent half of it asleep, that was kind of depressing. BUT I did finish my taxes! And run a few errands around town! And even got a little more Kingdom Hearts in. Not as much as I wanted, but, eh. Win some, lose some.
So, yeah. Roxas and Xion!
And Neoshadows! STAB THEM.
And then Beast shows up to destroy things. Whee! (HA! Xemnas, we're on to your doing nothing.)
Man, every time these two are on-screen together and looking at the camera, it's just like – GLOWING BLUE EYES. EVERYWHERE. Maybe they've had exposure to Mako or something. XD;
Roxas has doubts about Kingdom Hearts. Explanations get nowhere! Hearts! What's the big deal? NOT KNOWING IS THE PROBLEM! Sadly, your curiosity is never going to be satisfied. You will all just DIE. :(
(It is a bit conflicting, isn't it? They're all like, YAY WE WILL GET HEARTS and Xemnas is all HEARTS WILL NEVER CONTROL US, which is kind of… contradictory, sort of. But we all know – OKAY THE PLAYER KNOWS – that he's got his own agenda. So…)
And now we sit around discussing what, exactly, it is that Demyx does. SOMEDAY WE'LL KNOW.
Bah! You don't need a heart to be unique! (Axel, remember you're hanging out with Team Amnesia, here. Far as they know, they don't have pasts. … Or, wait, are we supposed to be surprised that you do remember? Crud. I'm not sure which it is! OR ARE YOU REFERENCING SORA. … I kind of doubt that one, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.)
HEY AXEL. Remember when one part of the fandom was absolutely convinced you were Reno's Nobody who'd had "Ale" rearranged instead of his real name, 'cause he was a total alcoholic? (And how these people were also usually in the group that gets offended at the Turks being used for comedic purposes?) (In their defense, there are a lot of intentional similarities between the two characters, right down to the voice actors. But that does not make them the same!)
Roxas, didn't you spend your first week as a Nobody unconscious? I mean, most people wouldn't remember that. (Or was that just your first week in the Organization?)
And, hey, yeah, what Axel said. Your memory is kind of crap, anyway. (… Possibly relating to Sora still being around? I have been wondering about that. Roxas can't remember anything, ever.) (And! Roxas and Xion DO have an awful lot in common. WHY. WHY IS THAT. UGH MYSTERIES.) (I wonder which'd be better/worse? To remember or to not…)
SHIT SHIT DiZ AND NAMINÉ NO GO AWAY DON'T COME HERE :<
"Xion's Keyblade"? Well, that's… something.
… SEPARATE MISSIONS? NOOOOOO
Axel to the rescue? D: Maybe?
OH YOU AND YOUR HEART-COLLECTING. Buut we made it through this one. Tomorrow will be different. Saïx is being mean about it. Not mean enough to tell us to shut up and get going RIGHT NOW, though. Thank you for humoring us, Saïx!
Yeah, hey, take mine! You've used it before! And Roxas can summon two Keyblades later on, HE HAS TO PICK IT UP SOMEWHERE, right…? (Or maybe he just steals hers when Whatever Happens To Her happens to her…)
But what will I use? Should I have stocked a few offensive magic spells? MY FISTS.
WAIT, NO, THIS STICK. HELLS YES, STICK.
Xion doubts my stick-wielding abilities. Oh, Xion. Never doubt my ability to clobber things with blunt, wooden objects. (SORA DID IT ALL THE TIME, TOO, IT'S NOT LIKE WE DON'T HAVE SOME SORT OF BASIS FOR IT…)
(Though, I am a little disappointed. I just equipped some new panels / a new setup, I guess they aren't really new. I was looking forward to trying them out, and now I cannot! Because I am armed with only a stick, and apparently sticks don't do combos real well.)
Yaaay, she can call her Keyblade again!
Oh, Roxas. THEY DON'T LAST FOREVER, Square is just trying to break our hearts. Because they're monsters.
TOO BAD WE WON'T EVEN REMEMBER EACH OTHER, what with Roxas getting stuck back in Sora (well, okay, so he doesn't forget but it's not like anything can be done about it, either. There's no conscious memory, or something?) and you dying and Xion doing WHO KNOWS WHAT BUT I BET IT'S NOT GOOD.
BREAK ALL THE JARS. … That is the best mission-description ever. OH LOOK! SAMURAI NOBODIES! Nice of them to send my own Nobodies after me, geez. XD
"Squarsies", Demyx? XD AND OH HEY WE'RE GOING ON A MISSION TOGETHER. I can spy and tell Axel and Xion what you do. :3
(Man, though, wouldn't you think smacking stuff with his sitar would at least knock the poor thing out of tune? MAGIC SITAR.)
XION, AXEL IS MADE TO FEEL AWKWARD BY YOUR PERPETUAL GRATITUDE.
Okay, I'm out of optional missions now. Time to go fight the mystery Heartless in Agrabah.
AAAA ANTLION
AAAAAA
NOW IT'S AFTER ME AND I CAN'T OUTRUN IT AAAA but, to borrow a page from Shadow of the Colossus, I can trick it into running into walls. Bwaha!
… NOW IT'S FLYING AND HAS A SHIELD WHAT THE HELL HOW DO I KILL THIS THING?
Oh. Rocks.
Obviously.
BUT SCREAMING AND PANICING IS MORE FUN AAAAA
(Roxas, the monster is dead, you can stop running around like an idiot now.)
BOOM DAY 117
Axel isn't spying on Xion, but he is being sent back to Castle Oblivion to look for the "Chamber" – which I'm presuming to mean wherever Sora's holed up in his little crystal-cocoon-thing while Naminé puts his head back together. APPARENTLY XION IS ALSO FROM THERE. OR. SOMETHING. I thought Naminé was Kairi's Nobody only weird because Kairi has no darkness in her heart and that weirdness (do we know the details and I've forgotten? CoM and KHII were a while ago…) was how she was able to rewrite Sora's memories? So I do not quite see how that matches with her origins pointing to Castle Oblivion, unless that's where THE WEIRD ONES appear, and I'd see no problem filing Xion under "weird Nobody". (She does have that seashell-collecting habit… But where/who the hell could she have come from?)
Well, I'm glad at least the two of you are aware Xemnas is up to something, even if you have no idea what.
WHAT, YOU DON'T LIKE "TIGER" EITHER, ROXAS? You don't like stupid nicknames, is that it? That's it, isn't it. Or maybe you just don't Xigbar.
YAY A NEW WORLD doesn't that make up for the stupid nicknames, Roxas?
DEMYX WANTS A NICKNAME. ALAS, DEMYX. Xigbar knows that it would not annoy you and so refuses. We could come up with one, anyway, if you'd like?
Also, hey, Luxord! You are almost never around! Nice of you to turn up on occasion.
YAY NOW I AM A ROOKIE!
I KNOW THAT WORLD THAT'S THE COLISEUM! EEE SO EXCITED :D
... Roxas, what the hell. We're investigating the same as we always do, and – I'm not positive, but – I am pretty sure the Organization looks for NOBODIES to recruit. How are we even having this conversation at this stage of things.
Though I guess it's good for you to finally get the DARKNESS + PERSON'S HEART HEARTLESS + MAYBE NOBODY speech.
YOU'RE EXCEPTIONAL BECAUSE YOU HAVE KEYBLADES OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN XDDD I know they've gone over that part before. And that you've been there for it.
Haha, Xigbar has abandoned us to the wrath of Phil. (I hope he's ready to sweat, too, Phil! In those massive black coats, I am not sure how any of them could not be, sometimes.)
"The best wannabe hero they've ever had"… uh. Thhhhanks…?
FIRST PLACE: SORA. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. AND WE EARNED IT, GDI. Shut up that it's only the Pegasus cup! It would totally also be the Hades cup if they showed us that lineup! (And, man, that one was fun.)
Good thing no real warriors are as… Roxas, you've fought Heartless taller than (or as tall, at least) these statues.
"Soracles" is pretty close to "Heracles", actually…
Heh, I wonder who Hercules actually scouted…
Xion gets nostalgia (or… something) watching sunsets and being near the ocean. WHO WERE YOU. IT'S MADDENING.
"OPERATIONS CLOSED FOR VACATION"? (caps not mine FOR ONCE)
… WHOO DAY OFF—or, uh. Roxas doesn't know what vacation is. :(
I wonder why, though. (DEMYX MUST BE THRILLED)
Ooh, dear, Roxas. XD What's your job during vacation… I feel sort of bad for finding this as funny as I do. At least you have Axel to explain this "vacation" madness for you.
(AXEL IS GOING TO SLEEP AND SLEEP AND ALSO SLEEP)
So, we haven't heard Xion actually talk much (like, with the voice actor, I mean), so I am not sure if the "voice" I read her dialogue in is actually the right one. It's really, really familiar, though, so I wonder where I am lifting it from.
Roxas, do you actually want ice cream, or do you want to hang out with Axel and Xion? Or do you just not have any other ideas.
… I like how he's still managing to avoid introducing himself to these three. XD
Man, I suck at these "KEEP THE BALL IN THE AIR" mini-games.
Hee! Roxas cannot fathom a month off. XD
Bungle? As if! AXEL, XION WILL PUSH YOU RIGHT OFF THIS CLOCK TOWER don't think she won't.
How about "slugger" is that better or worse than "tiger" and "kiddo"?
YAAAY COLISEUM MISSION AGAIN!
… boooo, Zip Slasher waiting for me at the end. At least Zigbar is more useful against them than Marluxia was. HOORAY, RANGED WEAPONS!
CASTLE EXPLORATION WITH XALDIN. "We're here to analyze, not sympathize" is, for some reason, amusing. Maybe it's the rhyme.
Awww, Xaldin disapproves of my random throwing open of doors. HE WON'T HAVE IT. Fine be that way. :<
Christ, Xaldin, d'you think you're sticking enough skewers through those things??
"Nice sofa." NO BREAKS, ROXAS. >:|
(Roxas must think this guy's a genius, the way they've figured out about the curse and all.)
ZALDIN, YOU CORRIDOR OF DARKNESS-USING CHEATER, GET BACK OVER HERE.
…. WHAT ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR DOORS OR SOMETHING. Honestly.
Silly Roxas, thinking he could get away with going to the Coliseum and not get roped into MORE TRAINING. BARRELS INTO HEARTLESS. WHEE!
fff page 7. OKAY That's a good cut off point, anyway, since I guess we just did YET ANOTHER time skip.
And in other gaming news, I have maybe been scouring Bulbapedia looking for Pokémon to name after various pre-existing characters and OH MAN I AM BUMMED because Glaceon would be great for Ayarei and they don't exist in SoulSilver! I can only get one by trade! ARGH! I was all set to stick my Eevee and Ditto in the training center and be all GET TO IT, THEN, but, no. I mean, I have to do it, anyway, since I want ALL THE EEVEELUTIONS, but, uh. I don't know. I haven't started it yet. I also need to get a male Skitty so I can name it Oreo. YES AFTER MY CAT.
... AND YES I AM NAMING POKÉMON AFTER MY FFXI CHARACTERS WHAT OF IT. I only have a Kihara so far SHE IS A RATTATA IT IS SURPRISINGLY PERFECT. And a Khocha - CAN'T NOT HAVE A KHOCHA - who is a Dratini! Soon to be Dragonair, but never to be Dragonite.
I got the Dratini through trading with Aniko, who has HeartGold, so she even gets an EXP bonus, which is fun. I had a lot of fun capturing Pokémon I didn't want and then naming them stupid things to trade to her. I am most proud of the Bellsprout I named Bella Swan. ... And then I caught a Zubat and named it Edward (she's actually read and been amused by the Twilight books). AND THEN ANOTHER ONE and I named it Zoomba and then its summary says it "likes to run around" which is just about the most perfect thing ever, admit it. (There was also a Hoothoot named Daniel, which, hilariously, I named before finding out it evolves into Noctowl.)
(Also, after a conversation with
ineptmagicuser, I am sorely tempted to capture a Mareep and name it Sephiroth. This probably won't happen, but it amuses me to consider it.)
I am considering just renaming my Chikorita "Hisime" but have not actually done it yet.
(And I have no idea what I'll do for Rana. She's being an unhelpful brat.)
Basically I am going to ridiculous lengths in my capturing and naming and CAPTURING SPECIFICALLY TO NAME Pokémon adventures. BUYING THIS WAS THE WORST IDEA EVER WHAT HAVE I BECOME
... Also, I have a capital "P" in my Pokémon tag. How did I manage that one? I thought they all defaulted to lower case? Did they change that, or did I just break everything.
At the beginning of next month, Mom and I are driving over to New York to visit my brother (again!). Though this time, hey! It's in March! Instead of in February. We've pretty much done everything to do in Rochester at this point, though, so maybe we'll all go exploring. (Canada was suggested, but Mom's getting her passport renewed right now, so that's a no-go.) But I am still excited to be doing something. I get some kind of wanderlust or something, I just get so antsy if I don't go anywhere for too long - and okay part of it's just WINTER AUGH, since it does get worse this time of year, but still. And visiting California relatives apparently doesn't do anything for it (though, uh, since that wasn't even 48 hours on the ground, I guess I can't say I'm surprised). BUT YEAH. ROCHESTER. OR MAYBE THE AREA AROUND IT. WHOO. Only two more weekssssss.
(And also, this weirdly reminds me, but apparently one of my coworkers - and I mean, not just in the store, but in my department - she works two departments - won the national bagging competition, which... apparently exists!
