CRAP SQUARE ENIX CONFERENCE IS ON A MONDAY. I always work mondays, nooooooooo ;-; I'll just have to avoid the internet and watch the livestream when I get off work, I guess :/
I have a little experience in ASMR but it's not really something I get into so much as am intrigued by it. I was first introduced by a video on youtube that was a sort of....adult ASMR? Adult as in forbidden things were said and implied,but it was somehow still on youtube. It's gone now, but it got me intrigued because, I mean, why did my neck hair stand up? Why did I feel a tingling? Questions I found out by doing research and enjoying some nice ASMR videos. Unfortunately, it was ruined for me when I found one with a black lady in it. She was eating church's chicken and just....it annoyed me? She kept stirring her stupid tea over and over and it just ruined my whole experience and I've been turned off of it ever since. It makes me mad, too, since I enjoyed going into it now and again. It made me feel so much better, but she just absolutely ruined it for me. Went back on youtube and was reminded of something. I actually think my first ASMR was an audio file on tumblr, way back in 2010! It was a very pleasant one, too. Just a haircutting, but I could totally feel my hair was getting cut, even if it was just through sound. Such an odd feeling when I came back to reality and realized I still had all my hair, lol.
That dang pokeball is freaking $50 supposedly. I'm all excited for the game, but that accessory.... Oh, pokemon go is a really fun game. I dunno why you'd call it an abomination, though....it's gotten really better since they made some changes to it.
SO a new update! Munny is back (wait did we have it before?) and it comes with a lot of cool stuff to buy! Of course, new features don't come without a few things I need some feedback on as well as some suggestions that may make things nicer for everyone. In the Shop, put an indicator on pins you've already purchased. Let us at least earn just 1 munny in the spamzone, haha. Sort the pins by cost? Or perhaps give us the option to sort them? An easier way to get to our pins. I may be missing it, but the only way I know how to get to them now is to go from my profile. And just two bugs I've noticed so far. The spot for the munny under our avatars is not within the infobox. It appears next to Money: x Munny The newer pins are of varying sizes, so they do not appear lined up on our profile pages. Welp, that's all I got now, but others are welcome to suggest something and I'll compile them in this post for the staff. More research has shown that you gain munny by the amount of content in posts, so that suggestion about spam zone may be ignored.
The heart of the forums? <3
A feeling of relief washed over Daeni once Ria was finally finished off. Daeni stood up in time to see the three hearts floating a bits away before she felt one leave her. "Don't go Marley." she begged, reaching for the little heart as it joined the others. She gripped her hand and pulled it back, feeling great sadness. Tears came to her eyes, but she wiped them away and smiled. She knew they were gone to where they belonged and she was happy that it was this way. Her keyblade armor finally faded away, if for a moment, and Daeni was able to relax as the memories washed back over her body. Her heart ached, knowing she lost many of her friends, but she knew her bonds with the ones that were left had only grown stronger from the journey. She opened her eyes to see Cerdic off by the others. She was happy they were able to get things back to some kind of normal. She was thankful they all worked and fought so hard to protect each other. After all, they were all that were left. She pumped her fists into the air and looked over to see Moira's comatose body. She walked over and stood over the girl, not sure what to do now.
Qamar followed along until she had heard Master Thallasa call for them. The group made their way and found themselves next to their Master as the pig was flown away. Taran had a small spat with Gurgi before he left, throwing the apple at the creature. Qamar looked between the two and saw Illiana wander off. Qamar wanted to give Gurgi some kind words, but the thing did try to take his apple. She put her hand on Gurgi's head and smiled. "Sorry." she said, hurrying after Illiana. Having been asked a question, Qamar tilted her head. It was an odd question, but it was certainly a way to try and steer things away from the previous subject. "I'm sure we'll be able to save Hen Wen and get back to Dallben safe and sound." she assured the boy, watching a rock fall down the cliff, plummeting down below.
"That's reassuring..." Datgir commented upon Charlie's response. Koa managed to at least introduce himself before he ended up going off to his own partner. Dastgir pulled his journal back out and scratched down some more notes before he was approached by Rydia. Though the voice was not her own, but rather of another. "A dragon, huh? Is that who's in you?" he asked of Rydia. "That's rather adorable." He said this as he placed his hand on her head. He patted her head a couple of times before returning to his journal. He left remnants of ice in her hair, frozen bits that soon started to melt. Charlie assigned Strength to him and his partner. "Wonderful. I personally already have a plan on what to do." he said as he closed his journal and tucked it away. He turned towards Rydia once more and smiled. "So tell me, what element can you use? I have dominion over Ice currently. I plan to freeze the statue. Ice can naturally brittle metal down so long as I can get it cold enough....otherwise, we'll be using our weapons to cause damage." "Oh but I suppose introductions would be needed. I am Dastgir. What is your name?" he asked, looking down at Rydia.
Once the creature released Chrono and Cerdic, Daeni ran to retrieve them. First she dragged Chrono back, but he really just walked since he wasn't as injured...or so she thought. She left him next to Alder and the machine as she ran back and put her arms under Cerdic's armpits and dragged him away. "Sorry if this hurts." she said. "I saw the blow you got back there....looked painful." she said, letting go of Cerdic and helping him sit up. She knelt down to her knees and pulled out a Potion, offerring it to him. "Thank you, but please don't put your life on the line like you've got something to prove. You're doing a great job, otherwise. Just don't go dying on me, okay?" she asked him. Alder pressed the start button on the extractor and Daeni looked towards the creature, curious as to how this was about to go down.
Qamar wiped a bit of blood off her cheek from the final attack unleashed upon her. She glanced about and saw Illiana sip on tea after their battle. It seemed that the girl had got upset at the heartless and needed to calm down. Shrugging, Qamar sat against a tree a moment before Aria wandered along the treeline. Following behind, Qamar could see that the last battle had actually taken a toll on the girl. Qamar wasn't used to this since, as long as she'd seen her, Aria seemed pretty much okay at all times. Thinking it'd be a good idea, Qamar caught up with her and pulled out a small energy bar. "Um...you're looking a little tired, so...I was thinking this would help." she said, offering the bar. "I mean, you did a lot of healing back there, so you went crazy with your abilities. I kinda of just...well, I did what I do best and that was beating things up." She said this and punched at the air. "Though you did very good for what it's worth." Qamar looked behind her at Illiana and Glyde. "Anybody want an energy bar?" she called, holding up two more for the others. Without waiting for a reply, she turned and walked to each of them, placing the bar into their hands before turning back around. Qamar ran forward, taking the lead now. "I believe we're nearly there."

"Chrono! Cerdic!" Daeni yelled, glancing between them and the extractor. She started to run towards them, but stopped when she heard an audible spark from the extractor. "Alder,please help them. I can protect the extractor, you just help them. Please!" she begged, turning back to the extractor and striking relentlessly at the creature. "You won't take me, my friends, or anybody else. This is the end for you!" she yelled out, stabbing at the creature repeatedly with her keyblade.
First things first, Qamar was smacked up by the Gargoyles yet again. Thankfully, Aria was able to heal her up a bit. Though, she did notice that Illiana was a bit more damaged than the rest of them. Not even hesitating, Qamar raised her keyblade towards Illiana. "Cura!" she called, casting her own healing magic. It wouldn't do much, but at least Illiana would probably not get conked out. Her keyblade had reformed into it's normal state by now, so Qamar gripped it in her right hand and looked around at the remaining Gargoyles. Qamar thrusted her keyblade and destroyed 2 Gargoyles with Sonic Blade. She ended up tripping over her own feet while trying to use the last of her ability. Standing back up, she wiped her face off and dusted herself. Gargoyle's approached her while her blade then dealt with 3 of them. A final Gargoyle decided to just peace out of this fight to live another day. The injured Gargoyle looked frightened, but Qamar decided to reserve herself and stayed back. HP: 41/65(+15 from Aria's Cura) AP: 10/58 MP: 10/30 DP: 3/3 Cast Cura on Illiana! Combo Plus scared a Gargoyle! Sonic Blade killed 2. Enemies Defeated: 6 Gargoyles Enemies Remaining: 13 Gargoyles (16AP)
Getting hurt was Qamar's forte at this point. She didn't care, she was used to the pain. She bit her lip and rushed foward, slashing more Air Pirates and hopping off of them to target more. The last one she attacked, fell to the ground and was stabbed deeply by her keyblade halves. It was then that Qamar noticed a Rainbow Aura of sorts around her body. "Odd...." Qamar muttered, trying to wipe it off. She then looked over to Aria and put two and two together. "I get it now. Thanks Aria!" she called, waving at the girl. HP: 30/65 AP: 10/58 MP: 20/30 DP: 3/3 Combo Plus caused an Air Pirate to implode! Enemies Defeated: 5 Air Pirates Enemies Remaining: 28 Gargoyles (16AP) 5 Invisibles (18AP) 6 Air Pirates (12AP)
Dastgir's hand stayed raised a moment longer before Koa mispronounced his name. This caused a sigh to erupt from Dastgir as he went to writing into his journal. He closed it and tucked it away, blinking a little slowly to take a deeper breath. "It's Dastgir. What is your name?" he asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice. He looked at the screen again and was confused as to why Koa was staring at it so intently. He then noticed their numbers were down by one. "Seems somebody else left." he spoke, glancing about. "I suppose he ran after that loud gentleman and young lady." Dastgir pulled his hood down and scratched his dark emerald hair. "Jeez...." he muttered. "I have an odd question. We are in the Realm of Darkness, correct?" he asked, then continued. "Does this mean there is a Realm of Light? If so, have you been to it recently? I must return as soon as possible to continue my duties. There is a special someone whom I must protect." He spoke, a smile on his face towards the end.
Ouch. That certainly hurt, but Qamar had felt worse. She looked down at the scratches she received and shrugged them off, her hands tight around her keyblade's grip. She pulled it apart to form two halves of the whole blade. She swung her blades around herself in a flourish, glancing at her comrades. Illiana had just finished and was fanning herself with her keyblade. Qamar was impressed, honestly. "Cool transformation! It fits you!" she called to Illiana, watching Taran run away from the group. Master Thallasa ordered them to finish up, to which Qamar nodded. She rushed towards a tree and kicked off of it, launching herself at an Air Pirate. She slashed across it and jumped off of it's disappearing body to attack another one and another one. She jumped off each Air Pirate until she found herself satisfied. She landed and spun around, twirling her keyblade halves and holding them ready. A green light enveloped her as Cura magic rushed over her body, revitalizing her. HP: 50/65 AP: 10/58 MP: 20/30 DP: 3/3 Used Cura on herself. Combo Plus defeated an extra Air Pirate! Enemies Defeated: 5 Air Pirates Enemies Remaining: 29 Gargoyles (16AP) 10 Invisibles (18AP) 12 Air Pirates (12AP)
Well that was smoother than she thought. Qamar was ready to grab the small, hairy creature if it didn't give the apple, but luckily it worked with them and relinquished the fruit. Qamar stood back up and nodded at Taran. "Yes, sir." she said, smiling. However,a pig squealed in the distance and that caused everyone to rush forward and see the source of the noise. They were greeted by the sight of heartless and a pig. "That's Hen Wen?" she asked, looking over at the pig. "Taran, you grab Hen Wen and protect her. We'll deal with the dark things!" she said, holding her keyblade out. Qamar rushed for a large group of Soldiers who were lurking next to the pig. She started to cut them down, one my one. As her blade struck every third, it seemed to take out a fourth with it. She ended up taking out the large crowd, giving Taran ample time to rush forward and grab the pig. "Now's your chance!" she called, ready to dodge any attacks that come her way. HP: 65/65 AP: 4/58 MP: 30/30 DP: 3/3 Enemies Defeated: 12 (9+3 from skill)Soldiers Enemies Remaining: 29 Gargoyles (16AP) 11 Soldiers (6AP) 20 Invisibles (18AP) 18 Air Pirates (12AP)
"That explains the pig." Qamar responded once Taran explained himself. She looked to see Gurgi going crazy about getting hit and she watched Aria offer food in exchange for the apple. "Oh yes, I also have munchies and crunchies. Way better than a dumb apple anyway." she added on. "We'll give you both of ours for that apple. Promise." Qamar leaned down and put a hand on Gurgi's shoulder gently. "But I really like apples, can I have it please?" she asked. "He won't hit you because he'll hit me or Aria first." Qamar looked up to Taran and nodded at him. "Now just throw that stick down, okay?"
Ananta shook her head at Beuce. "No, we shouldn't fight here. I didn't mean we'd kill him now..." she watched Kaida wearily stand and wander after Beuce towards the boats. Ananta stood to see everyone making their ways to boats and Ananta thought for a moment on what she ought to do. At the time, she knew that Kaida needed a person there who could lend an ear or maybe just be there as company. She wasn't too sure if Kaida wanted either of those, but she knew for a fact that Aux was the last thing on their minds right now. Her parties' efforts to keep No Heart at bay were working a little. Instead of ignoring it, Ananta raised her keyblades high and let out the powerful Reluctancy spell. She let go of the keyblades and turned back towards the boats, running and climbing into the boat with Kaida as Aux climbed aboard. She saw Stratos step in and she nodded to him. "I hope somebody knows how to row a boat." she commented, sitting down next to Kaida. She of course gave the girl plenty of room to breathe after everything that happened. [Ananta to Ohana]
