This topic is not for the screamers, I actually am curious if there is an actual explanation as to why some people dislike pineapple on pizza, as someone who actively likes pineapple on pizza. Why do I like it? Well, I think the pineapple makes a nice compliment to everything else on the pizza. I find the sour taste of pineapple to break the homogeny of the rest of the flavors. Cheese and bread have a similar kind of taste to me, and normally the tomato sauce which offers a sweet flavor will help to break that, but sometimes I need a strong flavorful taste on pizza and pineapple does just that for me. Now, I've had pineapple on pizza in multiple ways and it doesn't always work. For example, the one time it didn't was when it was on a pizza that had barbecue sauce on the top and it was not very good to me, there was just too much going on. But when the pineapple is paired with ham I think it works lovely. I assume the reason most people do not like pineapple on pizza is because of pineapple itself. In this case, have any of you a substitute for me that achieves the same effect as a pineapple on pizza? For I have yet to find one. Please explain your stance on pizza in the more gratuitous and language wasting manner available. And remember that I did actually put this in debate corner. So I am actually expecting something.
This is probably a better solution for what we've been needing. A lot of staff have a particular discomfort with moderating in a chatroom setting (well, I know I do) and I'm sure there are people much better qualified for that who are already active in the discord. I am curious though because this wasn't said: do you intend for discord moderators to only have staff related powers in the discord, or are you attempting to offer this as another position easily spotted on the site?
Kaida used cure on Ignis and prayed they had something up their sleeves in order to end this fight this round.
Powerline helped boost Kaida's confidence a bit over how much damage she did. She took a moment to breathe before her keyblade resonated ever so slightly. She looked on over at Hikaru and said, "Hey. Hikaru." she readied herself up and said, "You go low." before she began charging at the boss, not fully sure what was going to happen necessarily. Kaida started a fusion limit with Hikaru
Aelis had this look of pondering for a moment after he mentioned leaving to someplace nice and get a drink. She was feeling parched and did not think some older man would be trying to ask someone her age out on a date. Placed her hand up to her chin while pondering before saying, "I mean, I'd normally be up for a drink, but I don't wanna get expelled the first day for not going to the opening ceremony. And you did just ask instructions on how to get there from..." Aelis took a moment to process the comment he had made about the other person being... boring. Aelis walked passed the man asking about the drink to walk up to the blue haired guy and said, "Babyface over there said you're the boring type. Would you consider yourself boring? I mean, I just met you, I don't even know your name. But I guess being a bore is something that can be picked up relatively quickly and I have always been curious what the personality of someone boring is like. Or is listlessness mixed up with the boring personality?" Aelis looked between the two saying, "Or, am I missing the concept entirely? I mean, if I'm fascinated by someone who is boring, is it ruining the overall point?"
Kaida decided she was tired of not doing that much damage and used powerline, hoping it didn't do anything to help the boss at all. Kaida used Powerline
Take went after a soldier but he wasn't ready and also Take just totally could not hold onto the keyblade and it went flying in another direction and ended up killing two shadows. Considering the fact he had been trained with swords for years he wasn't sure what the point of this training was if he couldn't even hold the blade properly but whatever things died and he didn't go into maximum overdrive HP: 20/20 AP: 0/8 Heartless defeated: 1 Soldier, 2 shadows Heartless remaining: 62 (49 shadows 12 soldiers)
Kaida used air combo again, knowing the damage is bad but CG is great
Kaida used Air Combo because Maximus is still here.
Ria listened to Cerdic's question and chuckled at his question, "That's a question... what am I? What are you? Does anyone really know the answer to that? Mmm... I guess I know." Ria walked a bit closer to the group and replied, "I am a result. A dark result to a tantalizing hypothesis." The cloaked figure crossed their arms and said, "I'm pretty sure Aevum doesn't even remember what he took from you if we are being completely fair. But I know, and Aevum can't give that back to you. Because Aevum is lost, and soon all fragments of what remains will be gone. That's why. I need his journal, and I know you all have it." Ria laughed a little and said, "A Giga heartless told me you guys found it." --- Mora was silent for a moment when he asked that question before saying, "I uh... I got separated early on. I didn't actually trust what was going on was a big deal..." As Alder opened the house, there were three people inside, but all of them were asleep and had this aura of darkness around them. They were moving as if constantly in a nightmare. If they looked through all the houses, everyone was like this. Some people were in chairs sitting up with this happening. One person was actively standing up with this same problem. Mora looked at all of them, scared and asked, "W-why are they... what is going on?!"
Kaida used a combo on the assault dragon while I accrue a "will edit later" queue larger than joce's
The groups continued on their way to... well... essentially the same place. But because of the distance between the two groups, one was going to be there before the other no matter what happened. As a result, it may seem rather arbitrary that when the gold team (graveyard group) ended up getting to the town, a line of heartless (mostly shadows) appeared, blocking the way halfway down the path inside the town. The darkness was still looming over the town like nothing was necessarily fixed here like the graveyard seemed to have been. After a moment of pause as the heartless swayed, a portal appeared from the middle of the group before it disappeared, showing a robed Ria appear, who gave a small salute as they said, "There's the rest of ya. I was wondering when you'd show up." Ria walked only a bit forward before putting their hands on their hips as they said, "Honestly I felt like the rest of your group seemed to be a little lacking but you guys sure made some progress... unfortunately the other.... three, are falling behind." Ria was silent for a moment before saying, "Aw man, did I spoil the surprise. You guys are probably wondering "three? five people went this way"... well." Ria held their hands out for a moment before two keyblades appeared. One was Xen's, and one was Chloe's. He held them out for a moment, waiting for a reaction from the group. Then she realized they probably didn't recognize it so they sighed and explained further lifting their right hand, "Xen." then they lifted their right hand, "Chloe." and then they let the keyblades disappear before making a motion with their hands and made a noise, similar to that of slicing off a head. Trying to say they were dead without saying it exactly. Ria sighed and said, "I could spare you guys and you could all be off on your merry way. I'll give all of you back your memories, and you can leave this world... but you guys have something of mine. I want it. If you give me that, I'll let you go..." there was a pause as Ria waited for the answer, but soon Ria was shaking a little and suddenly blurted out, in a very familiar voice, it was Chloe's, screaming, "Don't listen to him!" before Ria blocked their mouth in panic. ---- The silver team (town group) followed Mora. Mora looked very worried as they approached, and as they reached the path, there was a trap door at the side of one of the mountains. It wasn't exactly hidden, it was purposefully made so people could spot it. When Mora lifted it, there was a ladder that went down into the dark. First, Mora had motioned in a sort of "after you" motion, but after there was no response. Mora took a breath and went down first. It was relatively hard to see at first, but the deeper down the shaft they went, soon light began to appear. And once they touched the ground, Mora motioned for them to look. The sanctuary was like an underground village on its own. Houses were made of stone, there were gardens that grew in the dark corners of the sanctuary, but... it was very quiet. Mora took a step forward towards the village and nervously said, "Hello? Anyone?!" her voice echoed throughout and she immediately looked worried she was too loud.
Take had never seen anything like this before. It was actually rather terrifying, seeing the fissures appear in the earth while he followed Choma... well... more out of panic than duty. He was trying to wrap his head around the environmental changes. And when Choma told him and Mika to keep their keyblades at the ready, Take summoned it out pretty much immediately. Keeping himself in a position where he could attack an opponent at any point. He followed Choma's patterns mainly because he assumed a fissure would not suddenly appear there right after Choma stepped. He was wrong a few times though, and tripped up to get to a safe space of land before he was able to hold his ground and take a deep breath before whispering, "This is a nightmare..." It reminded him of when the dragons could not be held back, and his home would fall apart. This only happened once or twice in his lifetime but every time it happened it was just as scarring. After all the time rebuilding, becoming comfortable... you never really could. And Takehiko had taken this whole experience as comfort so far. He wasn't worried his home would burn to the ground and the ground would shake as if the very world was screaming for help. Take would never make that mistake of becoming too comfortable again. As he continued following Choma, he kept occasionally looking back to make sure nothing happened to Mika and her cat. If anything happened he was ready to leap back, even if he was ill prepared to face what was attacking. That's just how he was, and probably how he'd always be. He just hoped everyone else was okay... if he believed in prayer, this would be a time he'd use it.
Kaida used Cure on Hikaru while I play unfitting music (will edit later, in class)
Kaida quickly looked over at how the other group was fairing and noticed the increasing in microbots and she shouted, "It's not too much, is it Kel?!" She was worried the poor guy was getting overworked. But before he could give his answer, Kaida decided to motion on towards Ignis with her keyblade as she stated, "Ignis!" before showering her with the cure spell and saluting, "Hopefully that's uh... makes up for the unexpected launch." Kaida used Cure on Ignis
Kaida decided that once it was known that blizzard was the weakness since she didn't have any blizzard abilities it was probably better than she threw in some support. She figured it would probably end up moot anyway, as was her luck with these things, but she went on and pointed her keyblade at Glen and simply stated, "Glen!" before casting a heal spell on him to help. No one seemed more damaged than him, so she hoped that was her best decision. Kaida used Cure on Glen
The girl looked at Alder when he addressed her and she took a moment to think before responding, "Well, my name is Mora... and... well, there's a chance you're talking about the old sanctuary? I was pretty sure it was unsafe for stay after... something happened. But that's the only thing that would be down that road..." Mora pondered for a bit and said, "Aevum... Aevum... it doesn't... sound familiar to me. I'm sorry. But maybe the answers you guys are looking for might be in the sanctuary? Maybe even my parents are there." Mora suddenly realized that would help out her dilemma. She looked at the group of three and said, "I can lead the way, if you'd like. I just don't know how much more dangerous the heartless may get."
Understanding her need to attack in this situation, Kaida couldn't exactly think of a decent strategy to go with. So she ran herself on over to Ignis and said, "Brace yourself." before she launched Ignis at the assault dragon. She knew Ignis would probably be fine.... everyone else she had launched at enemies before ended up just dandy. Kaida used Launch (with Ignis)
Aelis was super excited to finally be on the grounds of Beacon. After all the work it took her to get in here, she was finally reaping the fruits of her hard labor. Everything was so clean and... open. Compared to the forestry by her hometown which had a large wall around it anyway to keep anything from getting inside everything didn't feel as claustrophobic and it felt freer than anything. Aelis had originally been wandering around the campus aimlessly, interested in seeing what was around more than getting to her destination. She was curious. Very curious. And as long as she had that, she wasn't particularly worried about an agenda. But she still ended up leaving her papers in an inaccessible area of her bags for her liking right then. This was rather fortunate, as she just happened to walk on by two people, where one was asking about the location of the room. Aelis scooted on over towards the two, mainly because she didn't know if they actually would head that way. When she heard the wolfman say something about having graduated a few years ago, she slipped on closer and giggled saying, "You know, you look like a little baby if you're actually as old as you say you are. Such poofy non-defined cheeks. Now if you were our age you would be pretty good looking but now.... eh... have you tried contour?"
Reva was outside skinning one of her hunts when she noticed the group enter the town. This was not exactly a normal occurrence to have travelers unless they worked as merchants or suppliers, and the others in the village noticed. Staying away and side-eying them to make sure they were not up to trouble. But the village, the energy was just abysmal. Everyone looked just depressed or just distant from everyone. And not interested in figuring out who these new arrivals were. Reva was one of those not interested in exploring who these people could possibly be. She just continued to sit in front of her house working on the skinning. She only had until sundown to finish with this and she was not going to let a bunch of random travelers with minimal knowledge of the state of this village interrupt that. As she finished up with a large batch of meat, she began moving it over towards the lady across the way, avoiding giving the larger group of outsiders any form of eye contact.
