.... ack!
Snow total is at just over three feet. There is no yardstick there was no car on the side of the driveway. The wall of snow at the end of the driveway is almost as tall as me (it had help from the snowplows going by all night). The cat tried to go out and got to the bottom step and... just kind of stood there looking confused for a long moment. Also it hurts my eyes to look out the window. It's like LOOK I AM WHITE AND I BURN YOUR RETINAS.
So, because I have nothing better to do on a day when I am snowed in, I - yes - played more Jak II. Possibly too much.
At least the door looks back to normal. Maybe it was a random fluke, or maybe I was just entirely too tired.
Anyway, escorting? This is a bad idea, Torn. Seriously, you have no idea how much of a bad idea this is. But I suppose I can't talk my way out of it, huh?
... merg. Okay, person, get in the hover-thing.
Get in the Zoomer.
DUDE WHY ARE YOU NOT GETTING IN THE ZOOMER?
ARG.
Okay, there we go. Run to the drop spot! Aaah!
AND NOW HE WON'T GET OUT?!
Zoomer go boom, but at least he's out. Blarg. New Zoomer! On to target two!
Who also will not get in the Zoomer. There's obviously some sort of trick to this, but I've no idea what that might be. ...I'm sure I'll figure it out by the end. *person dies*
ARG. STOP RUNNING INTO THE PEOPLE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ESCORTING, JAK.
Also why does it take them half a minute to get in? And then they have the nerve to tell me to move like I have a purpose! WHO JUST TOOK THIRTY SECONDS TO GET INTO THE SEAT, BUDDY?
Still, that went... amazingly better than I'd imagined it would have. Only four failures.
Ooh, gun upgrade. MORE WAYS TO SHOOT GUARDS, ALL RIGHT!
(ooh, now I see what happened with the door! It was already open when I approached it after fighting the Baron! Man, I catch on fast, don't I?)
Back to the mud-place? I don't want to go back to the mud-place! There's killer mud there!
I assume it's mud, anyway. That place where you go to play Capture the Flag, you know? The brownish ground that kills you when you touch it. I'm calling it mud.
At least the mud works both ways. I can knock the Metal heads into it and a few seconds later a glowing yellow spheroid thing comes flying up at me! Spiffy.
.....ah........?
Samos'...
Time travel.
WHAT?!
WHAT NO.
I REFUSE.
AIUFGKJBHM WORLD?!
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? WHERE DID EVERYWHERE GO?!
... wait, now Samos doesn't recognize us, either? But he can see us! ........augh!
D:
I'm so confused! D:
And now I recognize this forest and aaaugh I am so traumatized now.
There is no way this is my world in the future! Obviously we crossed REALITIES, as well as the time line! Because NO.
.... augh.
Uh, yeah, back in town now. I can either go see Mr. Doesn't Know Me or I can go try to blow up mines in port.
Well, port is closer.
Unfortunately, I still can't steer. I will come back to this later.
Ooh, map-symbol in the bazaar. METAL HEAD AMBUSH. ... that was fun!
... escort. Kid and ... croco-dog? Whatever. Uh. ACK! STOP RUNNING INTO PACKS OF GUARDS!
... Tomb. Tomb of what? Please, please tell me it's not what I'm slightly afraid it's related to.
... Didn't there used to be snow and ice here? Or is the layout just coincidentally familiar? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE. MY WORLDVIEW HAS BEEN TURNED ON ITS HEAD.
And now there's LAVA and I just
Augh
CANNOT THINK
Congratulations, game, you have destroyed my mind.
.... *flail*
Yes, anyway. I'm going to try not to think on that too much for now. I'm sure it will all make sense eventually.
Port cargo is trashed, and I get a gun upgrade if I... help Lurkers. That's not fair! They tried to kill me (and, er, largely succeeded) all last game!
...Well, they're not after me this time, so I guess I don't have to be too terrifically upset... Still, it's... annoying?
NO, JECCA, LURKERS ARE NOT VAGUELY CUTE WHILE CHASING AFTER YOU LIKE LOST PUPPIES OR WHILE RIDING ON THE BACK OF YOUR ZOOMER. THEY TRIED TO KILL YOU THEY ARE NOT CUTE STOP IT. I am blaming my insanity on the logic-failure I've been experiencing ever since surprise! Time travel!
Brutter is a LURKER and he is TALKING TO ME. Oh, right, we're not thinking about these things. Yes, yes, continue on. Back to Krew. Yes. Oh, my poor brain.
Oh, goody. Back to the sewers.
Something that continues to surprise me:
I can smash up those Propaganda Speakers all over the city as much as I please and I never get in trouble for it. You'd think, the way the guards are always to eager to blast my ears off, that this would be seen as an excellent excuse to fry me.
...huh. There's nothing down here in the sewersyet. (Well, except the orange-things-with-tails in the water, but those don't entirely count.) (And, uh, where did they get off to when I drained all the water, anyway?)
Oooh, lots of playing around on the hoverboard! Yay! I can't pilot that thing, either, mind, but I guess I just enjoy rocketing towards certain death. Fun times!
He misses ...pants. Well, if you knew how to sew, you could make your own pants! They are not hard to make. Really.
Oh, god, sewers make me so nervous. It must be the Silent Hill player in me or something. I get so twitchy and nervous down there!
Query:
Why is there always a Zoomer outside the forest when I go in and never one when I come out? These things'd do me more good if they showed up when I had a use for them.
... they're invisible.
THREE HOURS LATER @__@
I tried shooting and ran out of ammo, I tried melee and... died a lot, I tried sneaking around and failed, I tried using the map to locate them and failed, and I think it eventually came down to dumb luck and sleep deprivation. Good job, self. Good job.
I probably should have seen that coming, too! I just... it doesn't... HOW FAR? When? I - arg - no. Arg. No.
They need to start explaining things now because otherwise I fear I am going to explode messily. Tifa gave Cloud some advice once. She told him to stop thinking. I think I am going to try and take that advice, too, right now.
Anyway, the death tally. Not cumulative.

Those camouflaged Metal Heads should not ever have been allowed to exist. Ugh.
Probably play more today, since we're still not going anywhere.
