I need to find a million icons, 'cause I got a paid account for my birthday (whoo). You all care about this. Yes, you do. Don't deny it.
So my birthday was Monday, but nothing worth noting happened aside from the fact that I worked a 9 hour day (hey guess what I'm only supposed to be scheduled up to 8.5 hours so I don't know what the heck happened there), and then I'd worked a full day Sunday and I worked another full day Tuesday (which was also MEDIA SWARM DAY, when the mayor and all the news stations and all descended on our poor store and MADNESS ENSUED, see previous note somewhere re: my coworker and bagging). And then I had some friends over Tuesday night to watch a movie (we saw Red, it was fun!). So I was very, very tired Wednesday, but my mother called at 10 am (I was still asleeeeep) to confirm our dinner plans for the night (DELICIOUS SUSHI oh my gosh it was amazing) and then I was awake. So I spent the day doing laundry. BUT THEN TODAY! Today - well, okay, today Mom called at 10 am again, but I was exhausted enough that, after she turned up at 11 to drop off some stuff, I was able to crawl back into bed, where I then slept four more hours.
But after I was finally kicked out of bed by the cat dancing on my head and demanding food, I decided, I will be productive! So first I thought, maybe I will clean off my desk, it is getting out of control and also I've lost a paycheck. But then I found the paycheck while looking for my stamps, so my motivation disappeared. And then I thought, I will log into FFXI and get a DRG testimony and BEAT MAAT! And then I logged in and got depressed because no one I know in real life plays anymore and I'm all aloooone so instead of dual-boxing mine and my brother's account (I can't solo the monsters that drop the testimony, and he's left his account active, at least, so I borrow it sometimes. MY HOPE IS NOT DEAD YET), I went out and tested the experience points update, and it's actually really awesome. YAY! But then I was bored, so I sat around and played DS all day. PRODUCTIVITY!
... I'm really not joking. All day. I played for maybe an hour yesterday and all of the rest of this is from today.
So it has been a few days! Unfortunately, this hiatus has given me time to think and dwell and generally be worried and stuff and – with that whole scene with Naminé and the thing that whole about how "she" (XION) won't survive having Sora's memories somehow, what, is Roxas leaking? Or is Xion (to my own alarm and frustration, I was thinking of her in terms of "what" rather than "who" for a bit, there) just… copying me, or something, somehow?
I mean, Roxas used his keyblade, dropped it, Xion picked it up, oh now she's a keyblade wielder surprise! And with her having memories, now, that you'd think Roxas would have but he doesn't 'cause Sora's still wandering around and stuff… Even her fighting stance is the same!
I don't know. I don't like it, whatever it is.
Anyway, Day 225.
More shadow glob destruction! Unfortunately for me, it's in Wonderland, and the globs don't trigger the battle music (I don't mind the Wonderland battle music. It's just the regular background music that sends me scrambling up the walls, ripping out chunks of my own hair)…
Hm. There's a lamp on the table now. Doesn't seem to do anything (yet), though.
… EMERALD SERENADE IS OFFICIALLY MY MOST LEAST-FAVOURITE HEARTLESS EVER. Well, not really. Mostly I just get bored sitting here waiting for it, and chasing it is a big time-waster.
Oh, my gosh, these little brats just never go away, do they?
AND THEN THERE WERE A MILLION HOVER GHOSTS I knew I should have taken the shortcut...
… Strange but serious question time: does the Carrier Ghost ever actually attack? Or does it honestly only just hover around all over the place.
ON NO TENTACLAW. It did not hurt me any more than the Carrier Ghost did, but I managed to catch myself on fire by accidentally setting off one of those pumpkin bombs while fighting it. (Own worst enemy…)
XION, TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON. D:
Yeah, Axel, she's been acting kind of weird lately. YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW SOMETHING, GIVE ME A HINT, AT LEAST.
WHERE IS WHAT this is getting really frustrating
What did she find?! I cannot take much more of this!
Oh, my GOD, stop skipping DAYS, I will PUNCH YOU.
MORE CASTLE OBLIVION TIME? Geez, Axel. … So, what, now Saïx sees no problem with her? They're talking about things I'm not aware of again, aren't they?
ASDFYGRIOHPHKGLJFIKHSUGAFYDGEUFO is about as coherent as words would be, so I don't see the point in bothering.
… Hey, this is Castle Oblivion. THE LOWER SCREEN JUST FLASHED was it just with white…?
SURPRISE AXEL, who tries to tell Xion to go home! And she doesn't listen, because she's remembering Sora's trip through Castle Oblivion, so I guess she's not absorbing things from Roxas. She's just, what, snatching bits of Sora brainwaves out of the air? How? (Damnit, there's that "what are you?" wondering again…!)
Luxord's the only one hanging out. Guess I know who I'm teaming up with today! (… as well as being pretty sure I am ONCE AGAIN going to Wonderland.)
"Yet another mission here" TELL ME ABOUT IT, MAN.
I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE only now it's, you know, in the right place. Instead of randomly thrown in out of context. I HAVE THE NUMBER MEMORIZED YAAAAA
UGH. AXEL. You liaaaarrrr. (I mean, uh. Whatever's up with Xion's obviously not good, and maybe it'll be worse if Roxas knows, so any pointers at all are out of the question, or maybe Axel just wants Roxas to stay the hell out of Castle Oblivion on account of Sora and all, but, man, it's still frustrating.)
Xion wasn't Xion. I… think we'd sort of figured that out? BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. AUGH.
Xemnas doesn't want us to find her, which can only mean MORE BAD THINGS.
Meanwhile, Roxas is finally catching on that Axel has also been acting weird lately.
WONDERLAND WITH XIGBAR THIS TIME. Actually, the globs mission was with Xion. But all the ones with conversation are with Luxord.
… Today, we work to restore the Heartless population! Man, this is so backwards, haha. GO KILL THEM ALL. OKAY NOW GO BRING THEM ALL BACK. Poor Roxas, no wonder he's always so confused.
OKAY this Leechgrave is actually kind of evil.
Though, my usual problem of trying to play defensively when really all I needed to do was run in and whale on it was apparently the real source of trouble. Still, it did hit like a beast. Dang.
Yes, Roxas, I'm afraid it, at least in part, is based on you! … Jack, he's speechless.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN DAY 276
… Surprise Destiny Islands fieldtrip? Or – no, we're asleep, aren't we. Somehow.
ZEXION, YOU'RE DEAD. And, uh, yeah and Riku doesn't look like that anymore, so… uh. Wait.
…. I'M REALLY CONFUSED NOW.
DOES SHE JUST… ABSORB OFF PEOPLE SHE RUNS INTO OR …? WHAT THE HELL.
I keep starting sentences and none of them are coming out coherently, so I'm just going to go listen to Naminé now. (HEY, RIKU! You've been hanging out with the Darkness too long, you're starting to look a bit tan. Don't take complexion cues from Ansem/Xemnas/Xehanort!)
YES. GIVE ME SOME DAMN ANSWERS ALREADY.
So Sora has missing memories – I bet Xion's got those, right? Somehow? That doesn't explain very well why she was dreaming things that happened to Riku, though (well, sort of, anyway. There was a scene similar to that in Chain of Memories, at least).
ROXAS, YOU ARE LEAKING. Oh, dear. And Xion is absorbing them. SOMEHOW.
Oh, you know what? Screw DiZ, seriously. I would like to punch him, but he's going to get himself blown away trying to code Kingdom Hearts before that has a chance to happen.
THIS STILL DOESN'T TELL ME WHY OR HOW THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
(Didn't even have a face, what, what, what how does that even work. ALSO XION I AM SO SORRY my brain is counting that as a point for the "what are you" column BUT EVEN IF YOU ARE A WHAT YOU ARE ALSO STILL A WHO.)
Oh. Wait, did Roxas just run through a corridor? So. Wait, what? He was at Destiny Islands and Xion just happened to have some sort of brain meltdown at the same time, and he … did or didn't actually see her? OKAY: Roxas goes to Destiny Islands. Xion's over there freaking out. Roxas can't figure out how to get up there for some reason so he just leaves. OR SOMETHING? Today is weird.
Like us HOW? Did that conversation even actually happen? I didn't think so, I think it was another dream, but maybe I'm wrong. DID ANY OF THIS HAPPEN? (Hey, here's a thought: how about you finish this string of scenes before making any more calls, eh?)
Oh, I guess Roxas actually was on a beach, at least. AND NOW we're going to totally ignore Xemnas and look for her! This – this is going to end badly, isn't it? D: AND NOT JUST BECAUSE XEMNAS WILL FIND OUT AND… possibly be really angry, or possibly we're doing exactly what he wants, uuugh.
Luxord doesn't like my poker face. HE SAYS IT SUCKS. Somehow, the only one surprised by this is Roxas.
Xion does not appear to be in Halloween Town.
TWO MINUTE DUSK SWARM AAAAA with bonus SURPRISE SAMURAI apparently? I know he wasn't there earlier, and then he sneak attacked me with 10 seconds left on the clock and I died and it was sad.
… LUXORD! WE'RE GOING TO HALLOWEEN TOWN TODAY!
………….. that's two dual blades.
WHAT THE HELL, SQUARE.
At least they can't one-shot me, anymore. COME ON, LUXORD, LET'S KICK THEIR PATHETIC HEARTLESS ASSES.
… at face value, that sentence doesn't really make much sense. Oh, Kingdom Hearts, you and your turning words to mean other things entirely.
Xion does not appear to be in Agrabah.
… Roxas, do you read/listen to your mission summaries? Of course there's a large Heartless here. Your job today is to find and emilinate it. OR ARE YOU JUST TESTING THE CHESHIRE CAT? (Also, mystery Heartless means a promotion! EXCITING. More new things at the Moogle shop!)
Oh, this thing aga---- WHAT TWO ARGH
Actually, when I was running around turning on all the lights, I figured this guy was going to be back eventually. (Okay, it's not the exact same guy, but they're obviously related.) … Didn't see the splitting in half thing coming, though. Oof. Just keep them away from the stove!
… Oh, okay, I guess they don't need to be near the stove to light their little flame-thingies.
Whaaat? Come on, they can revive each other? Ugh. FINE. I'lL KILL YOU AT THE SAME TIME. Don't think I can't.
Xion does not appear to be in the Beast's castle.
OH, NO, IT'S FINE, KEEP SKIPPING DAYS. While you're merrily flipping the pages, I will be finding you and stabbing you.
Hm. I was definitely expecting Phil to make more of a scene than this. No complaints, though!
I DON'T MEAN TO BE A STRANGER. :(
… WAIT. AAAAAH NOOO that means I never get to come back here?? D: But I love the Coliseum!
… Are we going to actually go to Castle Oblivion?
Riku, stop stalking us. It's not cool.
Where did he even get the coat, anyway? Did he raid a closet in Castle Oblivion, or something? Materialise one out of the Darkness? Where do that damn things come from at all? I am suddenly overthinking this and I couldn't even begin to tell you why.
I have a bad feeling about today. :<
OH GEEZ THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG AT ALL AXEL GET US OUT OF HERE.
Twilight Town, whee!
Xion? AND A ~MYSTERIOUS IMPOSTER~ OOO DON'T LET IT GET AWAY
The game told me to defeat THE IMPOSTERRR(!!!) but I can't actually land a hit.
I like that the ~MYSTERIOUS IMPOSTER~ can teleport but still is considerate enough to stop and open these grates for me so I can continue chasing.
… And willing to wait around while I kill everything. Really, that's very kind of youRiku ~MYSTERIOUS IMPOSTER~.
SAÏX, YOU'RE BEING A JERK AGAIN, AREN'T YOU. … h-hey! Axel…!
DON'T CALL HER A CREATURE I WILL BREAK YOUR FACE. … IN THE FUTURE. WHEN I'M NOT ACTUALLY ROXAS AND FOR REASONS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU BEING A JERK TO / ABOUT XION. …AND I'LL FEEL BAD ABOUT IT. BUT SHUT UP.
Careful, Roxas, you're being emotional again.
IT IS SO NOT MY FAULT THAT RIKU MAGICALLY DEFLECTED EVERYTHING I THREW AT HIM YESTERDAY.
… I MEANT THE IMPOSTER. OBVIOUSLY I WOULDN'T KNOW HIS NAME, HAHA...?
Waaaaaugh, army of mega-shadows! @_@
Oh, hey, you're not Riku. YOU MUST BE THE OTHER ONE. Xion, why you run. :(?
Yaaay, caught up! … XION SAYS NO TOUCHING. Roxas does not listen. Now she says FIGHT. Axel sneak attacks. Tgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre
8l;o
*ol;;;;;;
….. OREO SAYS HELLO. WITH HIS LITTLE KITTY FEET! X3 get off my keyboooooard
Er, anyway, yeah, that went… awesomely. Ugh.
Xemnas is exasperated? LET HIM BE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. IN GREAT AND SPECIFIC DETAIL.
OH, YEAH, SAÏX, USING HIS NAME FROM BACK WHEN HE HAD A HEART, YOU'RE SO HARDCORE OR EDGY OR SOMETHING.
So basically Xion or Roxas has to GO AWAY and we already knew it was going to be Xion because she's never seen nor heard either from or of in any of the other games. I AM STILL GOING TO BE ALL DISRESSED AND SAD ABOUT IT.
Haha, Luxord. "That is generally what 'wasn't aware she had returned' means, yes." You're so nice about calling me a moron.
Don't ask Xemnas, he'll just as soon smite you. … Well, okay, no, he won't, he needs your Keyblade. But he's still probably the wrong person to ask. SUCH A NON-ANSWER. Xenmasssss, you never change.
Oh, okay, that was actually almost some sort of real answer. Not that it'll make sense to Roxas, and I sort of already knew that 'cause of Naminé's conversation with Riku, buuuut…
GO AWAY AXEL, HE'S ANGRY. WITH YOOOOUUU.
… Roxas, you don't have enough time left to be angry with your friends. ;__;
So they knew / suspected she would … absorb bits of Roxas/Sora?
RIKU THE GADFLY. I approve of this.
Speaking of, looks like he'sskulking buzzing around atop that big building outside. What, do you just stand out there for ever, waiting and waiting, on the off chance that someone wanders by?
Does Xion know she's not real? It sort of feels like she must, but… well, it probably would've been in the files she hacked into…
… oh, wow, the Grey Area is empty. That never happens. I guess Saïx ate them all.
Attaboy, Roxas! Make your own decisions sometimes!
GOD DAMN IT SORA NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. TINKER BELL, YOU'RE DOING IT ON PURPOSE. Or maybe pixie dust doesn't like dark corridors.
Well, thank goodness for these conveniently stacked boxes, anyway.
Hee, Roxas is so excited to dig up a Heartless! And then there is nothing inside. (You're right, Roxas! Captain Hook is connected to the Heartless! Also, he was one of the bigger players in the first game, but I doubt that's related here.)
Have I mentioned yet how delightfully hilarious I find the absurd *squeaky!* noise these dragon-looking Heartless make when I hit them? Cracks me up, every time.
Ohhh, look, we're all sitting together again…!
DAMN IT NAMINÉ DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND RUIN THE MOMENT.
ALSO, PISS OFF, DiZ. AND ALSO SHUT UP, WHILE WE'RE AT IT.
… Stopped? *echo*
AAAAAAAAUGH
Man, I am so sick of this Rearrange The Panels! game that I have to play every time I get new abilities. You know what? I never use any spells other than the Cure-family, anyway. I don't think I care enough to find a new spot to put this triple cast – firaga – blizzaga bunch.
Also I finally upgraded my keyblade, and while this new one is stronger, I liked the look (and name BIAS BIAS BIAS) of my old one (Leviathan!) better.
A MILLION MEGA-SHADOWS. "Oh, yeah, this is fair." Roxas says it so I don't have to! Poor things will never know what – uh. Well, they still didn't know what hit them. BUT IT WASN'T ME. It was our resident troll. ... THAT'S RIGHT, XIGBAR, I AM CALLING YOU A TROLL.
I highly doubt that we were sent here to help with a Snowy Crystal, Roxas.
Aw, Xigbar, you do care! That or you know Xemnas'd be unhappy if you let me get murdered by yet another edition of the Dual Blade.
I keep reading its name as "Chili Ripper". Makes it hard to take seriously.
WELL, NOW, where's the fun in just telling you this stuff??
Ruler of the Sky?! BAHAMUT!
AAAA I can't see with the glowing blue orbs chasing meeeee
NO FAIR YOU CHEATER you can't just fly outside of the map! GET BACK OVER HERE. RARARARAR Seriously, that shouldn't be legal. I am so annoyed right now. YOU CAN'T FLY OVER THERE AND STILL KEEP ATTACKING ME!
Pete, you're really just kind of annoying and useless. Have I said that yet? Because it's true. And it will always be true.
Roxas, your clock tower attendance is commendable. Too bad about your friends. :(
STOP.
SKIPPING.
DAYS.
It stresses me out.
(Really, Jecca, really, you'd rather play through every single one of them running pointless missions to places like WONDERLAND?
AND APPARENTLY MY ANSWER IS YES?)
Hollow Bastion! The Rising Falls! Dreams!
Man, I must look bad if Xion is asking if I'm okay. EVEN XIGBAR IS WORRIED awww. But Xigbar, I already blew past the 150 points goal! Alas..
Level halved? Aw, man! Back to 24.
JAFAR BATTLE ARENA! Remember this, Roxas? Or you, Xion? Xion remembers the keyhole, anyway!
OH, MID-BATTLE CUTSCENE YOU DID NOT JUST INTERRUPT MY LIMIT BREAK.
… okay, you did, but it was so Xion could, you know, murder the thing. Wow. Way to go! Sort of. I mean, good job killing it like that, but it's not a good thing you were able to. Yes.
Ohh, Roxas, that isn't good, either. :(
… Xion, you know or at least suspect what's wrong with him, don't you. D: (STOP ABSORBING MEEEE or whatever the heck it is you're doing I KNOW IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT or at least I choose to believe it isn't for now since I don't actually know very much at this point…)
Yeah, it is some weird role reversal, huh, Roxas? But don't tick her off, we need her to tell us what's going on!
WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING she does not understand. (You know she 'ships it…)
asdhfjg Replica SHE IS ONE OF VEXEN'S EXPERIMENTS I WANTED IT TO NOT BE TRUE oh honey ;_;
… But of Roxas, or of Sora? Roxas seems a little more likely, I guess, since he's the one they have around. (And, uh. Why the gender flip?)
OH THEY'RE JUST GOING TO TELL ME. FOR ONCE. It's Roxas.
Awww, this conversation started kind of rough, but yay, Axel still (at least says he) considers her a friend. :3 …He hadn't better be lying or I'll be sad at him.
… Wait, you actually saw Sora? Like, in person? Or are we talking flashbacks again? The wording's kind of odd, but. I don't know. (WHAT A SURPRISE.)
AUGH XIGBAR STOP LISTENING WE'RE NOT TALKING TO YOU.
Man, Xemnas' eyes are really orange. Every time he's on screen (and we can see them), that's all I notice. ORAAAANGE.
Devices?
Oh god that's what happens, isn't it. Roxas destroys her somehow, for some reason (I REFUSE TO BELIEVE HE ACTIVELY SETS OUT TO DO IT). DAMN IT, XEMNAS. FALL OFF YOUR SILLY CHAIR AND DIE.
I FEEL VAGUELY ILL NOW. THANKS, GAME. THANKS A LOT.
Haha, I am suddenly experiencing pre-Nibelhiem Crisis Core syndrome… (IE: ALL PROCASTINATION, ALL THE TIME. I FEAR THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE PLOT. BUT I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. AAAAAUGH!)
(Roxas, those are called "tears". They happen when you cry. I know you do not know these things, so I tell you. Not that you can hear me. But I try!)
So, Luxord says, "Passion is a virtue, but no game was won by overeagerness" and I originally read the first word as patience and was really confused as to why he was speaking so redundantly.
Oh, hell, I didn't think I'd be facing all three of these things at once. WINDSTORMS, WHYYYY.
Xaldin, are you harassing Beast? I see no other reason why you'd have gone missing in the castle.
Haha, the underlings doubt Xaldin's lunacy. Who'd antagonize the master?!
Xaldin! You're just as bad as Xigbar! XD Waiting at the portal… geez. XD
Preparations for what? HIS UNDOING. Duh. … :\
AAAAAA DAY 352 AAAAAAAA
AAAAUGH
SIX
Xion, Riku is not this all-knowing guy you seem to have made him out to be. He sorta likes to act like it, though, so I guess I can see why you might think that.
RIKU HAS HAD ENOUGH OF BEING ANGRY. …FOR NOW.
He won't tell you, but he will strongly imply. (The implications are something along the line of WAKE UP SORA WAKE UP SORA WAKE UP SORA SORA SORA SORA SORA HE NEEDS YOU MORE.)
I keep suffering the delusion that the Destiny Islands they're at is a fake one. I don't even know what the hell that's about. Is it because it was destroyed in the first game and then you visit fake copies of it? HINT, SELF: IT WAS RESTORED. It's just too weird.
NO, XION, DON'T WALK AWAY FROM MEEE COME BACK :<
Oh, good grief, even Saïx is asking how we're doing.
(Does my perpetual switching around of pronouns kind of bewilder anyone else? There is no established pattern! I just jump all over from using both single and plural first, second, and third person to refer to whatever's going on.)
SPECIAL MISSION FOR MEEEE I am suspicious. >:| Seirously, Saïx, I trust you about as far as – well, no, I just don't trust you at all. I'D SAY I'M SORRY BUT I'M KIND OF NOT.
Why wouldn't you? 'Cause something is wrong, come on, Roxas. Axel is worried! And Saïx is trying to chase him off. ROXAS LEARN A LITTLE SELF-PRESERVATION. In regards to Saïx, I mean, you're pretty good at not being killed by Heartless and all.
Axel, just punch him in the face. NO, SAÏX, WE CAN'T JUST LET THINGS RUN THEIR COURSE. 'Cause we're really bad at this "not having a heart" thing!
ROXAS, YOUR DIARY ENTRY FOR TODAY MAKES ME REALLY SAD and I can't really articulate why. Just it does. It's so short and it is breaking my heart. ;_;
(TODAY IS CALLED SUNSET, BY THE WAY. THAT'S NOT OMINOUS AT ALL)
… Ugh. Xigbar, you've finally defeated me. I've done every single one of all these silly missions I've been sent on, but this? 50 enemies with a Final Limit Break? Yeah, that's just… I'm not feeling it. Sorry. I'll probably regret it later, but… ugh. Really? Really? 50? I mean, maybe if you counted all the ones I've done so far, sure, but just go do it? NO.
… wow, they don't usually put everything right next to the portal like that. Uh. That's really kinda odd.
Well, Roxas, considering the last couple have been out by the site of Oogie's manor… (Why are they making scenes every time I zone?)
WHAAAT ugh, an Invisible? I hate these. Oh. They're calling this one an Orcus. Same model, though. Also, it has less HP.
I HATE FORCED LOSSES THE DAMN THING HASN'T EVEN HIT ME ONCE though okay fine I guess his stamina could be suffering SHUT UP I STILL HATE IT
OH WHAT THE FUCKING CRAP WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL I JUST DROPPED THE FUCKING DS ON THE FLOOR
Okay, okay, oh my god I was not expecting I DON'T EVEN
AXEL YOU'RE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE D: WHY IS THAT THE BIGGEST WORRY IN MY MIND
Roxas had completely forgotten about his WINNER stick, hadn't he?
THINGS AREN'T GOING TO STAY LIKE THIS, THOUGH okay, honestly, my hands are kind of skaking and I am kind of shaken I am really disturbed right now. Today has really disturbed me.
SO WHAT. RUN AWAY ANYWAY.
NAMINÉ GO AWAY I CAN'T LOOK AT YOU RIGHT NOW. OR YOU, DiZ. OR YOU, RIKU.
AAAAAUGH
I'm too busy being FREAKED OUT and continuing with my FREAKING OUT to go any farther. WHICH IS FINE. LET'S STAY HERE FOREVER.
Next entry will probably be the last, and I'll probably be distressed, if today's gameathon was any indication. I'll also be working every day between now and next Thursday (and then I'm going to New York with my mother) so the Final Fantasy VII playthrough's not gonna start for at least another week and a half. (There is still time to decide to replay it alongside me!)
... WHAT IS THIS SONG ON THE RADIO WHAT THE HECK I just actually listened to it. What. WHAT. (Not safe for work or if you're in the general vicinity of other people.) I am torn between laughing and just... I don't even know. XD; WHY IS THIS ON THE RADIO? (Also, why is my radio station playing it.)
So my birthday was Monday, but nothing worth noting happened aside from the fact that I worked a 9 hour day (hey guess what I'm only supposed to be scheduled up to 8.5 hours so I don't know what the heck happened there), and then I'd worked a full day Sunday and I worked another full day Tuesday (which was also MEDIA SWARM DAY, when the mayor and all the news stations and all descended on our poor store and MADNESS ENSUED, see previous note somewhere re: my coworker and bagging). And then I had some friends over Tuesday night to watch a movie (we saw Red, it was fun!). So I was very, very tired Wednesday, but my mother called at 10 am (I was still asleeeeep) to confirm our dinner plans for the night (DELICIOUS SUSHI oh my gosh it was amazing) and then I was awake. So I spent the day doing laundry. BUT THEN TODAY! Today - well, okay, today Mom called at 10 am again, but I was exhausted enough that, after she turned up at 11 to drop off some stuff, I was able to crawl back into bed, where I then slept four more hours.
But after I was finally kicked out of bed by the cat dancing on my head and demanding food, I decided, I will be productive! So first I thought, maybe I will clean off my desk, it is getting out of control and also I've lost a paycheck. But then I found the paycheck while looking for my stamps, so my motivation disappeared. And then I thought, I will log into FFXI and get a DRG testimony and BEAT MAAT! And then I logged in and got depressed because no one I know in real life plays anymore and I'm all aloooone so instead of dual-boxing mine and my brother's account (I can't solo the monsters that drop the testimony, and he's left his account active, at least, so I borrow it sometimes. MY HOPE IS NOT DEAD YET), I went out and tested the experience points update, and it's actually really awesome. YAY! But then I was bored, so I sat around and played DS all day. PRODUCTIVITY!
... I'm really not joking. All day. I played for maybe an hour yesterday and all of the rest of this is from today.
So it has been a few days! Unfortunately, this hiatus has given me time to think and dwell and generally be worried and stuff and – with that whole scene with Naminé and the thing that whole about how "she" (XION) won't survive having Sora's memories somehow, what, is Roxas leaking? Or is Xion (to my own alarm and frustration, I was thinking of her in terms of "what" rather than "who" for a bit, there) just… copying me, or something, somehow?
I mean, Roxas used his keyblade, dropped it, Xion picked it up, oh now she's a keyblade wielder surprise! And with her having memories, now, that you'd think Roxas would have but he doesn't 'cause Sora's still wandering around and stuff… Even her fighting stance is the same!
I don't know. I don't like it, whatever it is.
Anyway, Day 225.
More shadow glob destruction! Unfortunately for me, it's in Wonderland, and the globs don't trigger the battle music (I don't mind the Wonderland battle music. It's just the regular background music that sends me scrambling up the walls, ripping out chunks of my own hair)…
Hm. There's a lamp on the table now. Doesn't seem to do anything (yet), though.
… EMERALD SERENADE IS OFFICIALLY MY MOST LEAST-FAVOURITE HEARTLESS EVER. Well, not really. Mostly I just get bored sitting here waiting for it, and chasing it is a big time-waster.
Oh, my gosh, these little brats just never go away, do they?
AND THEN THERE WERE A MILLION HOVER GHOSTS I knew I should have taken the shortcut...
… Strange but serious question time: does the Carrier Ghost ever actually attack? Or does it honestly only just hover around all over the place.
ON NO TENTACLAW. It did not hurt me any more than the Carrier Ghost did, but I managed to catch myself on fire by accidentally setting off one of those pumpkin bombs while fighting it. (Own worst enemy…)
XION, TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON. D:
Yeah, Axel, she's been acting kind of weird lately. YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW SOMETHING, GIVE ME A HINT, AT LEAST.
WHERE IS WHAT this is getting really frustrating
What did she find?! I cannot take much more of this!
Oh, my GOD, stop skipping DAYS, I will PUNCH YOU.
MORE CASTLE OBLIVION TIME? Geez, Axel. … So, what, now Saïx sees no problem with her? They're talking about things I'm not aware of again, aren't they?
ASDFYGRIOHPHKGLJFIKHSUGAFYDGEUFO is about as coherent as words would be, so I don't see the point in bothering.
… Hey, this is Castle Oblivion. THE LOWER SCREEN JUST FLASHED was it just with white…?
SURPRISE AXEL, who tries to tell Xion to go home! And she doesn't listen, because she's remembering Sora's trip through Castle Oblivion, so I guess she's not absorbing things from Roxas. She's just, what, snatching bits of Sora brainwaves out of the air? How? (Damnit, there's that "what are you?" wondering again…!)
Luxord's the only one hanging out. Guess I know who I'm teaming up with today! (… as well as being pretty sure I am ONCE AGAIN going to Wonderland.)
"Yet another mission here" TELL ME ABOUT IT, MAN.
I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE only now it's, you know, in the right place. Instead of randomly thrown in out of context. I HAVE THE NUMBER MEMORIZED YAAAAA
UGH. AXEL. You liaaaarrrr. (I mean, uh. Whatever's up with Xion's obviously not good, and maybe it'll be worse if Roxas knows, so any pointers at all are out of the question, or maybe Axel just wants Roxas to stay the hell out of Castle Oblivion on account of Sora and all, but, man, it's still frustrating.)
Xion wasn't Xion. I… think we'd sort of figured that out? BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. AUGH.
Xemnas doesn't want us to find her, which can only mean MORE BAD THINGS.
Meanwhile, Roxas is finally catching on that Axel has also been acting weird lately.
WONDERLAND WITH XIGBAR THIS TIME. Actually, the globs mission was with Xion. But all the ones with conversation are with Luxord.
… Today, we work to restore the Heartless population! Man, this is so backwards, haha. GO KILL THEM ALL. OKAY NOW GO BRING THEM ALL BACK. Poor Roxas, no wonder he's always so confused.
OKAY this Leechgrave is actually kind of evil.
Though, my usual problem of trying to play defensively when really all I needed to do was run in and whale on it was apparently the real source of trouble. Still, it did hit like a beast. Dang.
Yes, Roxas, I'm afraid it, at least in part, is based on you! … Jack, he's speechless.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN DAY 276
… Surprise Destiny Islands fieldtrip? Or – no, we're asleep, aren't we. Somehow.
ZEXION, YOU'RE DEAD. And, uh, yeah and Riku doesn't look like that anymore, so… uh. Wait.
…. I'M REALLY CONFUSED NOW.
DOES SHE JUST… ABSORB OFF PEOPLE SHE RUNS INTO OR …? WHAT THE HELL.
I keep starting sentences and none of them are coming out coherently, so I'm just going to go listen to Naminé now. (HEY, RIKU! You've been hanging out with the Darkness too long, you're starting to look a bit tan. Don't take complexion cues from Ansem/Xemnas/Xehanort!)
YES. GIVE ME SOME DAMN ANSWERS ALREADY.
So Sora has missing memories – I bet Xion's got those, right? Somehow? That doesn't explain very well why she was dreaming things that happened to Riku, though (well, sort of, anyway. There was a scene similar to that in Chain of Memories, at least).
ROXAS, YOU ARE LEAKING. Oh, dear. And Xion is absorbing them. SOMEHOW.
Oh, you know what? Screw DiZ, seriously. I would like to punch him, but he's going to get himself blown away trying to code Kingdom Hearts before that has a chance to happen.
THIS STILL DOESN'T TELL ME WHY OR HOW THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
(Didn't even have a face, what, what, what how does that even work. ALSO XION I AM SO SORRY my brain is counting that as a point for the "what are you" column BUT EVEN IF YOU ARE A WHAT YOU ARE ALSO STILL A WHO.)
Oh. Wait, did Roxas just run through a corridor? So. Wait, what? He was at Destiny Islands and Xion just happened to have some sort of brain meltdown at the same time, and he … did or didn't actually see her? OKAY: Roxas goes to Destiny Islands. Xion's over there freaking out. Roxas can't figure out how to get up there for some reason so he just leaves. OR SOMETHING? Today is weird.
Like us HOW? Did that conversation even actually happen? I didn't think so, I think it was another dream, but maybe I'm wrong. DID ANY OF THIS HAPPEN? (Hey, here's a thought: how about you finish this string of scenes before making any more calls, eh?)
Oh, I guess Roxas actually was on a beach, at least. AND NOW we're going to totally ignore Xemnas and look for her! This – this is going to end badly, isn't it? D: AND NOT JUST BECAUSE XEMNAS WILL FIND OUT AND… possibly be really angry, or possibly we're doing exactly what he wants, uuugh.
Luxord doesn't like my poker face. HE SAYS IT SUCKS. Somehow, the only one surprised by this is Roxas.
Xion does not appear to be in Halloween Town.
TWO MINUTE DUSK SWARM AAAAA with bonus SURPRISE SAMURAI apparently? I know he wasn't there earlier, and then he sneak attacked me with 10 seconds left on the clock and I died and it was sad.
… LUXORD! WE'RE GOING TO HALLOWEEN TOWN TODAY!
………….. that's two dual blades.
WHAT THE HELL, SQUARE.
At least they can't one-shot me, anymore. COME ON, LUXORD, LET'S KICK THEIR PATHETIC HEARTLESS ASSES.
… at face value, that sentence doesn't really make much sense. Oh, Kingdom Hearts, you and your turning words to mean other things entirely.
Xion does not appear to be in Agrabah.
… Roxas, do you read/listen to your mission summaries? Of course there's a large Heartless here. Your job today is to find and emilinate it. OR ARE YOU JUST TESTING THE CHESHIRE CAT? (Also, mystery Heartless means a promotion! EXCITING. More new things at the Moogle shop!)
Oh, this thing aga---- WHAT TWO ARGH
Actually, when I was running around turning on all the lights, I figured this guy was going to be back eventually. (Okay, it's not the exact same guy, but they're obviously related.) … Didn't see the splitting in half thing coming, though. Oof. Just keep them away from the stove!
… Oh, okay, I guess they don't need to be near the stove to light their little flame-thingies.
Whaaat? Come on, they can revive each other? Ugh. FINE. I'lL KILL YOU AT THE SAME TIME. Don't think I can't.
Xion does not appear to be in the Beast's castle.
OH, NO, IT'S FINE, KEEP SKIPPING DAYS. While you're merrily flipping the pages, I will be finding you and stabbing you.
Hm. I was definitely expecting Phil to make more of a scene than this. No complaints, though!
I DON'T MEAN TO BE A STRANGER. :(
… WAIT. AAAAAH NOOO that means I never get to come back here?? D: But I love the Coliseum!
… Are we going to actually go to Castle Oblivion?
Riku, stop stalking us. It's not cool.
Where did he even get the coat, anyway? Did he raid a closet in Castle Oblivion, or something? Materialise one out of the Darkness? Where do that damn things come from at all? I am suddenly overthinking this and I couldn't even begin to tell you why.
I have a bad feeling about today. :<
OH GEEZ THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG AT ALL AXEL GET US OUT OF HERE.
Twilight Town, whee!
Xion? AND A ~MYSTERIOUS IMPOSTER~ OOO DON'T LET IT GET AWAY
The game told me to defeat THE IMPOSTERRR(!!!) but I can't actually land a hit.
I like that the ~MYSTERIOUS IMPOSTER~ can teleport but still is considerate enough to stop and open these grates for me so I can continue chasing.
… And willing to wait around while I kill everything. Really, that's very kind of you
SAÏX, YOU'RE BEING A JERK AGAIN, AREN'T YOU. … h-hey! Axel…!
DON'T CALL HER A CREATURE I WILL BREAK YOUR FACE. … IN THE FUTURE. WHEN I'M NOT ACTUALLY ROXAS AND FOR REASONS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU BEING A JERK TO / ABOUT XION. …AND I'LL FEEL BAD ABOUT IT. BUT SHUT UP.
Careful, Roxas, you're being emotional again.
IT IS SO NOT MY FAULT THAT RIKU MAGICALLY DEFLECTED EVERYTHING I THREW AT HIM YESTERDAY.
… I MEANT THE IMPOSTER. OBVIOUSLY I WOULDN'T KNOW HIS NAME, HAHA...?
Waaaaaugh, army of mega-shadows! @_@
Oh, hey, you're not Riku. YOU MUST BE THE OTHER ONE. Xion, why you run. :(?
Yaaay, caught up! … XION SAYS NO TOUCHING. Roxas does not listen. Now she says FIGHT. Axel sneak attacks. Tgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre
8l;o
*ol;;;;;;
….. OREO SAYS HELLO. WITH HIS LITTLE KITTY FEET! X3 get off my keyboooooard
Er, anyway, yeah, that went… awesomely. Ugh.
Xemnas is exasperated? LET HIM BE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. IN GREAT AND SPECIFIC DETAIL.
OH, YEAH, SAÏX, USING HIS NAME FROM BACK WHEN HE HAD A HEART, YOU'RE SO HARDCORE OR EDGY OR SOMETHING.
So basically Xion or Roxas has to GO AWAY and we already knew it was going to be Xion because she's never seen nor heard either from or of in any of the other games. I AM STILL GOING TO BE ALL DISRESSED AND SAD ABOUT IT.
Haha, Luxord. "That is generally what 'wasn't aware she had returned' means, yes." You're so nice about calling me a moron.
Don't ask Xemnas, he'll just as soon smite you. … Well, okay, no, he won't, he needs your Keyblade. But he's still probably the wrong person to ask. SUCH A NON-ANSWER. Xenmasssss, you never change.
Oh, okay, that was actually almost some sort of real answer. Not that it'll make sense to Roxas, and I sort of already knew that 'cause of Naminé's conversation with Riku, buuuut…
GO AWAY AXEL, HE'S ANGRY. WITH YOOOOUUU.
… Roxas, you don't have enough time left to be angry with your friends. ;__;
So they knew / suspected she would … absorb bits of Roxas/Sora?
RIKU THE GADFLY. I approve of this.
Speaking of, looks like he's
Does Xion know she's not real? It sort of feels like she must, but… well, it probably would've been in the files she hacked into…
… oh, wow, the Grey Area is empty. That never happens. I guess Saïx ate them all.
Attaboy, Roxas! Make your own decisions sometimes!
GOD DAMN IT SORA NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. TINKER BELL, YOU'RE DOING IT ON PURPOSE. Or maybe pixie dust doesn't like dark corridors.
Well, thank goodness for these conveniently stacked boxes, anyway.
Hee, Roxas is so excited to dig up a Heartless! And then there is nothing inside. (You're right, Roxas! Captain Hook is connected to the Heartless! Also, he was one of the bigger players in the first game, but I doubt that's related here.)
Have I mentioned yet how delightfully hilarious I find the absurd *squeaky!* noise these dragon-looking Heartless make when I hit them? Cracks me up, every time.
Ohhh, look, we're all sitting together again…!
DAMN IT NAMINÉ DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND RUIN THE MOMENT.
ALSO, PISS OFF, DiZ. AND ALSO SHUT UP, WHILE WE'RE AT IT.
… Stopped? *echo*
AAAAAAAAUGH
Man, I am so sick of this Rearrange The Panels! game that I have to play every time I get new abilities. You know what? I never use any spells other than the Cure-family, anyway. I don't think I care enough to find a new spot to put this triple cast – firaga – blizzaga bunch.
Also I finally upgraded my keyblade, and while this new one is stronger, I liked the look (and name BIAS BIAS BIAS) of my old one (Leviathan!) better.
A MILLION MEGA-SHADOWS. "Oh, yeah, this is fair." Roxas says it so I don't have to! Poor things will never know what – uh. Well, they still didn't know what hit them. BUT IT WASN'T ME. It was our resident troll. ... THAT'S RIGHT, XIGBAR, I AM CALLING YOU A TROLL.
I highly doubt that we were sent here to help with a Snowy Crystal, Roxas.
Aw, Xigbar, you do care! That or you know Xemnas'd be unhappy if you let me get murdered by yet another edition of the Dual Blade.
I keep reading its name as "Chili Ripper". Makes it hard to take seriously.
WELL, NOW, where's the fun in just telling you this stuff??
Ruler of the Sky?! BAHAMUT!
AAAA I can't see with the glowing blue orbs chasing meeeee
NO FAIR YOU CHEATER you can't just fly outside of the map! GET BACK OVER HERE. RARARARAR Seriously, that shouldn't be legal. I am so annoyed right now. YOU CAN'T FLY OVER THERE AND STILL KEEP ATTACKING ME!
Pete, you're really just kind of annoying and useless. Have I said that yet? Because it's true. And it will always be true.
Roxas, your clock tower attendance is commendable. Too bad about your friends. :(
STOP.
SKIPPING.
DAYS.
It stresses me out.
(Really, Jecca, really, you'd rather play through every single one of them running pointless missions to places like WONDERLAND?
AND APPARENTLY MY ANSWER IS YES?)
Hollow Bastion! The Rising Falls! Dreams!
Man, I must look bad if Xion is asking if I'm okay. EVEN XIGBAR IS WORRIED awww. But Xigbar, I already blew past the 150 points goal! Alas..
Level halved? Aw, man! Back to 24.
JAFAR BATTLE ARENA! Remember this, Roxas? Or you, Xion? Xion remembers the keyhole, anyway!
OH, MID-BATTLE CUTSCENE YOU DID NOT JUST INTERRUPT MY LIMIT BREAK.
… okay, you did, but it was so Xion could, you know, murder the thing. Wow. Way to go! Sort of. I mean, good job killing it like that, but it's not a good thing you were able to. Yes.
Ohh, Roxas, that isn't good, either. :(
… Xion, you know or at least suspect what's wrong with him, don't you. D: (STOP ABSORBING MEEEE or whatever the heck it is you're doing I KNOW IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT or at least I choose to believe it isn't for now since I don't actually know very much at this point…)
Yeah, it is some weird role reversal, huh, Roxas? But don't tick her off, we need her to tell us what's going on!
WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING she does not understand. (You know she 'ships it…)
asdhfjg Replica SHE IS ONE OF VEXEN'S EXPERIMENTS I WANTED IT TO NOT BE TRUE oh honey ;_;
… But of Roxas, or of Sora? Roxas seems a little more likely, I guess, since he's the one they have around. (And, uh. Why the gender flip?)
OH THEY'RE JUST GOING TO TELL ME. FOR ONCE. It's Roxas.
Awww, this conversation started kind of rough, but yay, Axel still (at least says he) considers her a friend. :3 …He hadn't better be lying or I'll be sad at him.
… Wait, you actually saw Sora? Like, in person? Or are we talking flashbacks again? The wording's kind of odd, but. I don't know. (WHAT A SURPRISE.)
AUGH XIGBAR STOP LISTENING WE'RE NOT TALKING TO YOU.
Man, Xemnas' eyes are really orange. Every time he's on screen (and we can see them), that's all I notice. ORAAAANGE.
Devices?
Oh god that's what happens, isn't it. Roxas destroys her somehow, for some reason (I REFUSE TO BELIEVE HE ACTIVELY SETS OUT TO DO IT). DAMN IT, XEMNAS. FALL OFF YOUR SILLY CHAIR AND DIE.
I FEEL VAGUELY ILL NOW. THANKS, GAME. THANKS A LOT.
Haha, I am suddenly experiencing pre-Nibelhiem Crisis Core syndrome… (IE: ALL PROCASTINATION, ALL THE TIME. I FEAR THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE PLOT. BUT I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. AAAAAUGH!)
(Roxas, those are called "tears". They happen when you cry. I know you do not know these things, so I tell you. Not that you can hear me. But I try!)
So, Luxord says, "Passion is a virtue, but no game was won by overeagerness" and I originally read the first word as patience and was really confused as to why he was speaking so redundantly.
Oh, hell, I didn't think I'd be facing all three of these things at once. WINDSTORMS, WHYYYY.
Xaldin, are you harassing Beast? I see no other reason why you'd have gone missing in the castle.
Haha, the underlings doubt Xaldin's lunacy. Who'd antagonize the master?!
Xaldin! You're just as bad as Xigbar! XD Waiting at the portal… geez. XD
Preparations for what? HIS UNDOING. Duh. … :\
AAAAAA DAY 352 AAAAAAAA
AAAAUGH
SIX
Xion, Riku is not this all-knowing guy you seem to have made him out to be. He sorta likes to act like it, though, so I guess I can see why you might think that.
RIKU HAS HAD ENOUGH OF BEING ANGRY. …FOR NOW.
He won't tell you, but he will strongly imply. (The implications are something along the line of WAKE UP SORA WAKE UP SORA WAKE UP SORA SORA SORA SORA SORA HE NEEDS YOU MORE.)
I keep suffering the delusion that the Destiny Islands they're at is a fake one. I don't even know what the hell that's about. Is it because it was destroyed in the first game and then you visit fake copies of it? HINT, SELF: IT WAS RESTORED. It's just too weird.
NO, XION, DON'T WALK AWAY FROM MEEE COME BACK :<
Oh, good grief, even Saïx is asking how we're doing.
(Does my perpetual switching around of pronouns kind of bewilder anyone else? There is no established pattern! I just jump all over from using both single and plural first, second, and third person to refer to whatever's going on.)
SPECIAL MISSION FOR MEEEE I am suspicious. >:| Seirously, Saïx, I trust you about as far as – well, no, I just don't trust you at all. I'D SAY I'M SORRY BUT I'M KIND OF NOT.
Why wouldn't you? 'Cause something is wrong, come on, Roxas. Axel is worried! And Saïx is trying to chase him off. ROXAS LEARN A LITTLE SELF-PRESERVATION. In regards to Saïx, I mean, you're pretty good at not being killed by Heartless and all.
Axel, just punch him in the face. NO, SAÏX, WE CAN'T JUST LET THINGS RUN THEIR COURSE. 'Cause we're really bad at this "not having a heart" thing!
ROXAS, YOUR DIARY ENTRY FOR TODAY MAKES ME REALLY SAD and I can't really articulate why. Just it does. It's so short and it is breaking my heart. ;_;
(TODAY IS CALLED SUNSET, BY THE WAY. THAT'S NOT OMINOUS AT ALL)
… Ugh. Xigbar, you've finally defeated me. I've done every single one of all these silly missions I've been sent on, but this? 50 enemies with a Final Limit Break? Yeah, that's just… I'm not feeling it. Sorry. I'll probably regret it later, but… ugh. Really? Really? 50? I mean, maybe if you counted all the ones I've done so far, sure, but just go do it? NO.
… wow, they don't usually put everything right next to the portal like that. Uh. That's really kinda odd.
Well, Roxas, considering the last couple have been out by the site of Oogie's manor… (Why are they making scenes every time I zone?)
WHAAAT ugh, an Invisible? I hate these. Oh. They're calling this one an Orcus. Same model, though. Also, it has less HP.
I HATE FORCED LOSSES THE DAMN THING HASN'T EVEN HIT ME ONCE though okay fine I guess his stamina could be suffering SHUT UP I STILL HATE IT
OH WHAT THE FUCKING CRAP WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL I JUST DROPPED THE FUCKING DS ON THE FLOOR
Okay, okay, oh my god I was not expecting I DON'T EVEN
AXEL YOU'RE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE D: WHY IS THAT THE BIGGEST WORRY IN MY MIND
Roxas had completely forgotten about his WINNER stick, hadn't he?
THINGS AREN'T GOING TO STAY LIKE THIS, THOUGH okay, honestly, my hands are kind of skaking and I am kind of shaken I am really disturbed right now. Today has really disturbed me.
SO WHAT. RUN AWAY ANYWAY.
NAMINÉ GO AWAY I CAN'T LOOK AT YOU RIGHT NOW. OR YOU, DiZ. OR YOU, RIKU.
AAAAAUGH
I'm too busy being FREAKED OUT and continuing with my FREAKING OUT to go any farther. WHICH IS FINE. LET'S STAY HERE FOREVER.
Next entry will probably be the last, and I'll probably be distressed, if today's gameathon was any indication. I'll also be working every day between now and next Thursday (and then I'm going to New York with my mother) so the Final Fantasy VII playthrough's not gonna start for at least another week and a half. (There is still time to decide to replay it alongside me!)
... WHAT IS THIS SONG ON THE RADIO WHAT THE HECK I just actually listened to it. What. WHAT. (Not safe for work or if you're in the general vicinity of other people.) I am torn between laughing and just... I don't even know. XD; WHY IS THIS ON THE RADIO? (Also, why is my radio station playing it.)
