Shame the Wii Us don't sell as much. I've played my friend's and I have to say, it's a pretty nifty system. But Sony stepped up their game, so kudos to their sales.
Kitty Yzma growled as Cat inched closer with unlabeled vial contents. As diabolically delectable as this all was, Kuzco put down his plotting hooves in favor of showing a little kindness. The same kindness the three birds had shown him earlier, he would ignore his own wants and needs in favor of the right thing. Stepping forward, he wished to speak, but hesitated. Taking in a deep breath, he tried again. "Look, Yzma... this has been pretty rough on both of us. But if you tell me where the human vial is, I'll use it to turn you back to normal too. Deal?" He held out his hoof to a confused Yzma. "You would do that? After I tried to get rid of you?" Kuzco humbly nodded. Thinking for a moment, Yzma gave her answer. "Tell you what Kuzco. After deliberation I've decided that I'm still going to kill you. and here's how." With an evil smirk, she began to pace with her paws and go on. In unison, her vivid imagination showed her step by step plan as she explained. "I have locked away 2 human vials, which will fully return any human to their original state. The first vial, intended as a back up, I will pretend to give to you only to swipe away, blow a raspberry at you, and SMASH IT WITH A HAMMAH! The second, I will drink. And once I return to my beautiful self, hehehe, I'll SMASH YOU WITH A HAMMAH!" Her imagination ended as she cackled. "It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! BWAHAHAAHAHA!!" In mid-laughter, Yzma was squashed by a large Kronk who had somehow ended up from falling through the floor, to falling from the ceiling. "Wow... Who would've thought that tunnel slide would lead me all the way back up there?" Kronk looked around the room. "Uhh, what happened to Yzma?" Kuzco blinked and tilted his head to Kronk's posterior, where Yzma remained mute and motionless. For once, Kuzco was the one with the prolonged expression. "Uhhhh....." How could he bring that up delicately? "Well, uh, before she get's back, I thought it was only fair, that you know she keeps the human antidotes in that cupboard." He pointed to an easily accessible cupboard with the words "Human Vials" in black marker. "Wow, how did we not see that coming in?" Kuzco asked. As he walked up to the cabinet, Yzma arose from behind Kronk and charged ahead in a furious rage. Less than halfway to clawing at the llama, Panchito, Jose and Donald dogpiled on top of her from above. "Wow, who would've thought that tunnel slide would lead us all the way back up there?" Panchito asked in a daze. "Hah! I know, right?!" Kronk ecstatically yelled back. Kuzco continued on with high intentions, still intending to return them both back to normal. "Relax Yzma, I know you're mad, and I still intend on getting us both back to normal. There's good somewhere in you." "I'LL KILL YOU!" She muffled from beneath Donald. "Well, we can always rehabilitate you or... something, I guess. I plan on being a better emperor, just you wait. Soon as I get both of these-" Kuzco stopped talking as he opened the cupboard. There was only one potion inside. Gasping for air beneath the duck, Yzma clawed her way out and smirked. You see Kuzco, no matter what you choose, I win. There's only enough potion in each vial for one transformation. Turn me back to normal, and... well if it hasn't been made clear already; I'LL KILL YOU! Turn yourself back to normal, and you will live with the torment of allowing another person to suffer as- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Kuzco had already drank the potion as Yzma was trying to guilt trip him. A flash of light flickered on his llama features, evaporating them all, and revealing him on all fours in human form once again. Looking at his human hands, the emperor quickly brushed himself off and stood upright. "Hmm? Oh, yeah, I figure since you're really good with this science stuff, you could just make an antidote or whatever if you want to be human again." "That'll take me months!!" ""Well, that'll give you plenty of time to think about what a nasty you've been. Kronk buddy, you can look after her, right?" Kronk revealed the most adorable smile as he picked up little Yzma and rubbed his face against her fur. "Let go of me, you big monkey!" "Aww, I'll take extra go care of her! Junior Chipmunk's honor!" Kronk tightly held Yzma and saluted. "At ease buddy, just keep her out of trouble." He patted Kronk on the back and sent him off. "Mark me words Kuzco, I will have my- HACK!" Kronk hugged her tightly once more before exiting the secret lab. "Re... venge..." Yzma uttered out. She could barely make words anymore from being repeatedly crushed. The three banditos got up and looked at the emperor. "Hey hey, senor llama is now senor emperor! Congratulations amigo." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Base obtained Lady Luck!Beuce obtained Lady Luck!Krowley obtained Lady Luck!Luna obtained Lady Luck! Beuce has sealed the world's keyhole, but that still left the exit out of this world a mystery. None of them used corridors of darkness, and the way Alice escaped was by waking up. The four of them weren't asleep, so what were there options? Unless of course they really were asleep? Krowley thought back to when he first entered the world, he recalled a flashing plain of grass before spiraling down the rabbit hole. If they were asleep, would they wake up in Alice's true world, or the Land of departure? He turned to the others to see what they would think. "I... I think we need to wake up..."
I could actually see him at some sort of story development meeting when Kingdom Hearts was being created. Just give the guy some visuals.

"Come on sir! Just be honest with her! You can do it." Flora encouraged. "Whoa, watch it soldier," Shang insisted. Some of the others had begun to grow relentless not truly caring anything that happened outside their main objective. Mulan noticed such after her small flirtatious moment. She grew serious once more and looked to the emperor if he knew anything. "Your majesty, I was wondering if you knew the whereabouts of something called a 'Keyhole.' My friends have been looking for it." The emperor raised an eyebrow. "Keyhole, you say? Wouldn't your family guardian know about that?" Mulan was stunned. How did he know about Mushu, and furthermore, how come Mushu didn't tell her anything. "Don't be so surprised. It is part of the imperial duty to trace many of China's ancestral heritage. That includes spirits and guardians alike, isn't that right Mushu?" Sliding out from behind Mulan, Mushu gave a weak smile and began to come up with an excuse. "Oh, well... yeah. But after all the logistical stuff and uh... spiritual timing and uh... you know, just guardian stuff it really couldn't be helped. "You know all this time?!" Mulan burst out. "Well of course I knew, girl! What kind of dragon doesn't know about the world he's roamed for years and years! I only kept it from YOU because we needed they help. And knowing you, you woulda just gone and blabbed your little girly mouth and missed out on one hell of a friendship making, honor restoring, hun slaying adventure." Mulan did not look amused. "Mushu... tell them where it is now," she sternly ordered. "Alright, alright. Try and do one thing right and the world hates your for it." The small dragon cleared his throat. "The keyhole is located in the heart of China, also known as the heart of the people. And where are the most people in China?" Mushu presented his hands onto the crowd. "The imperial square?" Shang asked. "Uh-huh. One giant keyhole underneath all them Chinese folks." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~MISSION COMPLETE~ Ananta leveled up!

Kuzco watched as she went back and forth, his eyes closely following as if it were a tennis match. "WAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" She yelled, being spun around until the machine's innards could take no more and forcively ejected her, followed by a single potion she hadn't launched. Everyone watch as she came crashing back down, along with the delicate vile that broke on top of her as she landed. A giant, pruple puff of smoke formed as a deep evil laugh began to surface. "Hehehehehe. HAHAHAHAHA!" A fierce shadow could be seen inside the smoke, with hollow eyes and sharp fangs growing ever larger and larger, not knowing what monstrous creature Yzma had turned into. They would only wait for seconds as the smoke cleared to reveal Yzma had transformed herself into a small grey cat, that stood no higher than a foot. Maybe a foot and a half... "Meow..." the cat uttered. Kuzco covered his llama lips to prevent himself from bursting out load. "Hah! Now you've got to tell us where the potions are because your just an itty bitty cat now. Who's an itty bitty kitty? You are! You are!" Kuzco continued to mock her, now that she knew how it felt. Yzma merely growled and began to fling her sharp claws at him. "I'll never tell you where the antidote is! Even if I-" She paused mid-rant. "Is that my voice?" She hacked from her now high pitched squirrel sounding voice, hoping it did not come with the form. "Is that MY VOICE?" The held her throat in disbelief, but realized there were more important matters at hand. "Oh well..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Base leveled up! (16) Beuce leveled up! (15)AP +1Learned Combo Plus!Learned Air Combo Plus! Luna leveled up! (17) Beuce had struck down the enemy with a gigantic icy blow, smashing down the once monstrous beast into a dazed mess of a creature. The jabberowcky shook it's head and looked at the party with it's blurred vision. Multiple illusionary doubles were cast, causing it to see twelve people instead of the four. It staggered it's claws and roared at the party before turning around and limply flying off. The cheshire Cat grinned in all the excitement as he watched from above. He took a bottle from under his tail and poured a few drops on Beuce's head, shrinking him down to size. "Don't feel too bad about finishing him off. "Tis not your role. Nor the Queen's." Krowley rolled back his shoulders after a hardy battle. He looked onto the cat with a new sense. Sure he was mad, but there was some logic in that insane brain of his. "So what is our role?" he asked curiously. The cat kept his grin. "And why would I know a thing like that?" Though it was unseen, he smiled right back. "I suppose that is silly to ask... I thought it was to stop the darkness from conquering the worlds. Saving anyone we can against an unknown fate. Now that I say that outloud, it sounds kind of a big job..." When he first left for the past, he went to find a friend, and found out he might have to end up fighting him to preserve what he hoped to protect; the world order. In only a short time, he took in the magnitude of a responsibility like that. "And only just a few of you to do it. Tsk, tsk, tsk. That is a mad though indeed." He let out a sall chuckle beneath his paw. "Then I hope you find the right path to take." He looked at the many roads leading across Wonderland. "There are many paths for one person to take. Seems such a shame some only take one..." Krowley listened to each word intensely. "You really do know more than you let on, don't you?" "You might say I do and you might say I don't. What do you say?" Taking a short pause, Krowley answered; "I say it's time we moved on." "Already? You found the way in, but can you find the way out?" Straight through the doorknob again, right? Of course there was still the matter of the keyhole... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "She saved China!" Flora's words caught the emperor's attention as he looked at the young woman with his wise elderly eyes. He looked upon the other three as well, but had taken a certain interest in the young Chinese girl. And Shang had explained everything to his majesty about Mulan's ode to preserve her family honor. As the emperor planned to approach Mulan, Shang attempted to stop him, but was held back by a wave of the hand. The emperor insisted Shang allowed him to continue and as a soldier of the Chinese army, he stood down. "I've heard a great deal about you, Faa Mulan." Prepared for the worst, Mulan took a step forward and quickly bowed. "You stole your father's armor, ran away from home, and impersonated an imperial soldier." Sad as it was to hear it was all true. "You deceived your commanding officer, shamed the entire Chinese army and dishonored your family name," he continued. "You're a young woman, and in the end..." Mulan held her breath under her bow, with her heart fastly pounding. "You have saved us all," the emperor finished as he returned the gracious bow. Confused at his words, Mulan looked up and was shocked to find their country's leader bowing to HER! She didn't know what to say. What could she say? She was even more amazed to find a roar of cheers coming from behind them in the imperial square. Turning around, she found soldiers and civilians alike, having gathered and saw everything they had accomplished. Mulan even let out a smile as she watched her people cheer for her, a young woman of China. She smiled to the the party who had helped her as well before returning to face the emperor and Shang. She started off by first returning Shang's sword to him. "Y-you dropped this," she timidly said. Shang accepted the sword with gratitude and bowed to her as well. "This sword was my father's... He would have been proud knowing a true warrior defeating Shang-yu with it," he replied. "Well, I had a lot of help," Mulan looked back towards Kel, Flora, Karina and Glen, who had sealed victory. "Nevertheless, I think you should have it." Shang presented the sword with both hands. "Thank you. But I wield my father's sword, and he-" She reached for her sword sheath and gasped at the empty lack of a handle. "My father's sword! It's gone!" Mulan fell to her knees and was torn that she had so carelessly lost it. "My family's honor..." she lamented. The emperor patted Mulan on the shoulder. "Captain Li," he beckoned. "Bring my Shan-Yu's sword." With quick haste, Shang went back and picked up the now cooled down, blade and presented it to his majesty. He then presented it to Mulan. "Take this. So the world will know what it is you have done for China." Mulan picked up the blade and held it with both hands. It was light, and would at least show her risk was not for nothing. "Thank you." Shang stepped forward and held his fist to his palm in respect. "I think it's I who should be thanking you. All of you." "Thank you?" the emperor scoffed. "Is that all there is to say, Captain? If you wish to win the heart of Faa Mulan, China's bravest woman, you'll have to be a bit more eloquent than that! Shang looked away in embarrassment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The young man will be fine. Hopefully he will come back even a little wiser, at best. As for your questions... I'm afraid I only know so much of our dire situation. The wizard stepped into his study and offered Kross a seat as he sat down opposite him. "You see until only recently, I assumed there were not that many wielders left in the worlds... The keyblade war sought to that. Pitting warriors against each other for an ultimate power over all worlds has torn apart the very foundation of the way of the keyblade. Such a shame really." Yen Sid had dove deep into his memories and recalled a lot that may have been connected to the matter at hand. "With worlds out of their original alignment, the world order has taken it's toll. What's more these three new threat pose quite the mystery. Last I heard, the smaller boy, Vanitas was aligned with Xehanort; a former colleague of mine in our days of tutelage. He had walked the road of darkness, and my initial impression was that he was the ringleader in all this. But alas, my suspicions were proven false when I recieved word from him. Yen Sid held out a letter and placed it in front of him. It was just a blank envelope with an engraved X in the center. It's contents revealed that he was just as concerned as I was. As dark a man as he is, this does not seem to be his doing. Xehanort works in the shadows, not in the light for all to see. But that still does not explain the betrayal of Vanitas against him. So many questions unanswered..." Yen sid felt bad that he didn't give Kross the answers he was searching for. "As for Terra, Ventus and Aqua, I'm afraid I haven't been able to locate them. And do know that I have searched anywhere the light has guided me. The mirrors you saw on the base floor are my portals to different worlds. Along my travels, I placed magical mirrors as my connection to any world that needed assistance. As a retired master, I feel it's far better traveling then all the gliding the younger generation does. But even with all these mirrors, I have yet to find any word of them. This new master moves around to often. I can never fully track him and what's more, I feel Eraqus' prolonged absence might have had him captured as well." He stroked his beard as he usually did when deep in thought. "For a master to lose his pupils... it can't be put into words the amount of suffering one goes through in worry alone." He stared at his bookcase suspiciously as he went on. "To know that what you taught them can never truly prepare them for the worst. I myself had two pupils once. Both ending in ways I wish had been for the better. After them, I chose to retire as master and never take on another pupil. Until recently, I had never even looked over wielders aside from Eraqus' students.
Some of these happen to me, but at times, I feel I am able to predict/control the outcome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream It's not that the dreams themselves are weird... it's the spontaneous actions that occur out of no where. These two probably aren't as weird or creative as yours, but they are recurring. 1) The Kick drum: I will be in an average place. Be it walking home from work, eating out for lunch, or just waiting for a bus. People interact with each other, and nothing out of the ordinary happens until I hear a kick drum being hit in quarter notes. and whoever is around just turns and looks at me (Like in inception, when you become aware you are dreaming) and then other instrumentals join in as they begin charging right at me. From there, it's full out anime/action movie styled fights. It's violent, it's weird, but I love the musical accompaniment. 2) WTF: In some dreams, I may die, or appear to be falling to my death. From there, I wake up in my bed and feel very assured that I did not in fact die in my sleep. Now awake, I do my morning routine, walk outside and then pause because I think I forgot something. Then I wake up for real from my alarm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~MISSION COMPLETE~ Kel leveled up! (18)AP +1Kel learned Cheer! With the combined efforts of Kel and Karina, Shan-Yu had fallen on one knee, with his pet falcon knocked out far behind him. Not going down for the count, he srpung forward and charged at Mulan, who held Shang's sword as her means of defense. The hun's jagged sword, knocked it out of her hand and as he continued to assault her, she ran and ducked his every blow. In a quick panic, Mushu jumped away from her and looked around until he spotted the roof. "Don't worry girl, I got an idea!" The dragon slithered up one of the palace's columns to the roof of the emperor's abode while Mulan dodged for dear life. Backing away, she quickly searched her person for anything she could use to counter his attacks. She paused as she reached her fan. An item given to her when she was meant to be a wife and bring honor to her family. Instead she chose this path in order to fight in her father's place. "Look's like your all out of ideas..." Shan-Yu smirked. Shan-Yu lunged with his sword, cuaisng Mulan to dodge to her right, whip out her fan, and let the sword go right through the it. She closed the fan back up on the sword and twisted the fan with both hands so that Shan-Yu lost his grip. The sword flies toward Mulan and she catches it by the handle slipping off the fan with her sword movement. "Not quite," Mulan replied. She looked up confused as a tiny Mushu was giving a big thumbs up fromt he roof. "Mushu?" Mushu planted a large rocket firework at the edge of the palace roof and had it aimed at the hun leader. "I am ready, baby." He blew fire onto a stick and lit the fuse. Shan-Yu approaches Mulan, but using the sword as a lever, lunges at Shan-Yu kicking him in the face, then sweep kicking him to the ground. Mulan picked the sword back up and stabbed it into Shan-Yu's cape, anchoring him to the ground. The rocket on Mushu ignited and hurled toward Shan-Yu. Mulan ran back and gently pushed the party back so they would not get int the crossfire. Shan-Yu saw the approaching rocket and tried to run, but the sword has him pinned to the spot. The rocket hit Shan-Yu square in the belly propelling him toward the sky. The rocket rides Shan-Yu into the fireworks tower on the opposite side of the palace, causing masses of explosions and fireworks to fly everywhere. Shan-Yu's sword, burned and smoking, landed in the center of the palace square a yard away from the group. Mushu slithered back down the pillar and jumped around joyously. "Now that's what I call burning some hunny-bun! Aw, yeah! Mulan's the best! Mulan's the best! No, wait a minute---I'm the best! Mushu's the best! Mushu's the best!" The palace doors began to slowly open, giving Mushu enough time to zip his cheering and make himself scarce back behind Mulan's neck. The emperor had ordered a few guards to open the gate as Shang's plees could be hear. Please your majesty, let me make sure it's safe first..." Shang was silenced at the smoke and fireworks displayed overhead. "What... what happened?!" ------------------------------------------------------------- (OOC - Not fair to Kross, so I'll just skip the mission a bit forward) Kross leveled up! (14)Learned Aero! Kross was fighting valiantly, but Clavis' mind seem preoccupied. Almost like he wasn't there. Luckily, Kross didn't have to fight for much longer as all the heartless had dispersed, having retreated along with the magical barriers to both doors.That threat was gone, but Clay remained in an unphased trans-like state. The door in front of them was opened from the opposing side, revealing a cautious Yen Sid. "I thought it seemed a little louder than usual." The wizard walked outside, opening the door fully from what looked to be, his study. "You'll have to forgive my alarm system. I enchanted this room, along with my entire tower with traps that could be set off at a moment's notice. As you can see, most rooms are enchanted with barriers to ward off the heartless. You two were thankfully unharmed by the illusionary heartless created to guard the door. For that I am thankful enough." He stopped to look at a drawn away Clay. "Your new ally seems to have been victim to another trap in this room. While the heartless are the main course of defense, a second effect is triggered, that may cause the weak to reflect on their own past. He must be quite the novice wielder." Yen Sid stroked his beard as he contemplated what to do with him and Kross. "Well, it seems he will be a like this for a few moments longer. I imagine you have questions on what's been happening since your last visit. Feel free to enter and question away." He guided Kross into his study to answer anything he might wish to ask.
Oh, well thank you then. Yeah, a lot of stuff popped up and I didn't get to do anything worthwhile during Halloween anyhow. I have some of the stories pre-written in my head, but like most writers I just seem to have trouble putting them into words. I can hopefully get one or two in this week. EDIT - Wow, was 2 weeks late in replying to this...
That short looks like a worthy homage to Mickey's prime days of shorts. I was hoping to watch Frozen in theaters anyways despite a few skeptic thoughts, but this will be fun to watch as well. Happy 85th birthday, your majesty.

Hey, as you can tell from my last survey, running all this can be quite time consuming, and even decline the overall experience when I can't get things accomplished. As such, I've decided to promote a few players to SOS Moderators. These players won't get any special treatment as they will only be there to assist with community and roleplay related things. Their responsibilities will be as follows; Updating Wiki pages when things are learned Hosting Movie Nights Helping with community events Helping with Arena battles Keeping groups focused on missions Alerting me to any feuds among players Alerting me when I screw up And more... probably... With that said, I'm hoping to promote 3 players to help me out in making the experience great. In this thread, you will see a poll with eligible applicants. Vote for the 3 you think can help run things smoothly. (You are allowed multiple votes, but I ask you only vote 3) Be sure to post the 3 you voted for and why they are good choices!
Something I found upsetting about Teen Titans Go!, is that it used an already created universe to draw in viewers. The show runners hadn't seen much of it's predecessor, but already had the humor and demographic in mind. While I appreciate the returning voice actors and maybe some of the humor, this doesn't work as a show for me. Shorts maybe, but I hardly feel like it deserves a time slot so long to convey so little. They could have made up their own characters to a new setting and the show probably wouldn't have the same amount of hold it has now. Cartoon Network actually renewed the show for a second season because of it's ratings. Such a shame, because I really liked Young Justice and even Green Lantern the Animated series had my interest. But I don't like the new DC shows. (Can't forgive what Beware the Batman did to Alfred)
Haha, nice. I plan to do that with Villains in December.
