They may but the stasis their bodies were in might have changed the rules some in the end. Kairi's body was free of it and her Heart was in Sora's so it's rough to say if the stasis the others were held in canceled out such a process or not. Since we never saw Nobodies of them, I guess that's how we have to take it for now. Kairi's Nobody was formed by the fact her Heart was in Sora's and he used the Dark Keyblade on himself to unlock -his- heart which yes, freed the PoH's hearts to return to their bodies but also unlocked his Heart and turned him into a Shadow while releasing Kairi's heart back to her body. Because she supposedly has -no- Darkness in her Heart, she could not become a Heartless herself. Also, Namine, since Kairi lacked Darkness, was considered less of a Nobody than others were and unique. Note that technically had she had any Darkness, she would have lost her Heart to it in the first place at the Secret Cave but instead it found refuge in Sora, though her body was gone. So it took the Dark Keyblade to give her a Nobody at all. Otherwise it would not have happened, so we can theorize here that since the PoH's hearts were made up of the Dark Keyblade, excluding Kairi's which hid in Sora, that this too made it so they would not have Nobodies themselves and their Hearts would just return to them. As for some of the other questions you asked ... (digging these up) This is all speculation, but apparently Nomura makes a statement saying that in BBS time, the Keyblades worked not just with the Heart but also with the Soul or mind of a person. I think the Unbirths have more of a relation also with the Soul in the game as Nobodies and Heartless aren't around and the Unbirths are kind of the precursor to the Heartless. Why there are so many Keyblades in BBS? Good question. I have pondered that the Keyblades on the field may have a link to the Unbirths in some way as in maybe those are the souls that remained behind in a state, but eh, really I have no idea at this time. I do think though that Roxas and Ven are connected to one another and that the Kingdom Key passed to Sora. Sora kind of seems to be the absolute central character. The Keyblade came to him and well, Roxas being tied to him may certainly give him a reason to have a 'duplicate' Keyblade that isn't a fake so much as it is an extension of his connection to Sora. Why he gets Oblivion and Oathkeeper, Nomura stated that it was due to Roxas's connection to Sora but also that Oblivion symbolized connection to Riku and Oathkeeper to Kairi, which again originates from Sora's ties to them. I am also thinking that Ven was attacked in some way by Master Xehanort that attacked his Heart, which Terra does ask him directly 'What did you do to his Heart?' while holding Ven up. I think maybe Ven's soul ended up in Sora to keep it safe and Roxas is basically what remained of that and he received a 'body' because of Sora using the Dark Keyblade on himself. Because Ven was a former Keyblader and also Sora is one, it makes sense why he ended up with a Keyblade himself. As for the 14th member, I still lean towards her having connection to Aqua but also maybe Kairi in some way. Namine was clearly Kairi's soul given body by the use of the Dark Keyblade. As for the 14th member, maybe she had her spirit in Kairi's Heart as Sora seemed to me at present time to hold Ven's, which would become Roxas. Either that or Xemnas figured out some way to get Aqua back, having had her armor and such in TWTNW. If though, the 14th member connects to Aqua, it makes sense why she has a Keyblade. Also, if her spirit resided in Kairi and was within her Heart and her Heart was within Sora... well, again, we have a connection to Sora and that the 14th member would have been a Keyblade wielder in the past, so the Kingdom Key being duplicated yet again may be feasible as a theory on why the 14th member possesses it. Again, this is totally speculation as I hardly have enough to draw a solid conclusion, but that's kind of what I 'think' may have happened. We know very little about Aqua or the 14th member right now. So, this probably won't help much.
I assumed you weren't supposed to vote for yourself and well, I never vote for myself any way in these sorts of things. Since in one area though under Best Staff it says to not to, I assumed it was for all areas though.
Yeah, Sora isn't that uncommon of a name for boys or girls in Japan. There is a Sora in Digimon and also in .Hack. Riku also isn't that uncommon.
Yep, still round 13. Round 14 will be moving to a new thread once this round is complete. It's been a great final round as a final game in this thread with the detectives and kira working so well. Keep on it!
This is going to be closed because there are enough of these threads on this and right now there's nothing saying other than rumors that have been going on since KH2:FM+ was released in Japan that we'd see this game. If someone finds out any actual information, feel free to post it in the RE:CoM area but for now, all we have are more rumors and we may as well get it in our heads that the chances of it happening are pretty close to 0%. Any questions, feel free to PM.
Well, the way it was put on one site was that there's no coitus pleasure really at all. At a convention I went to (yes I'm such a geek), it was told to me basically (because yes I asked) that a ***** would be like a thumb as far as feelings of sexual stuff goes and the woman also would get nothing out of it. They can get 'hard' or push the blood to those extremities but in the end it does nothing for them and the only feeling of 'release' they get would be from the blood. Basically sex would be like rubbing your arm or something as far as I could take from the whole novels and book signing thing. The blood for the vampires is the life. They could give pleasure to someone else but not to themselves with sex, though they do love to touch each other and caress and all. xD Really, I think people that debate it a lot haven't read all of her books, especially the Armand and Marius and Pandora books. They pretty well are clear with how the vampires' sensations on it go. Yeah, the Organization is rough to go with but unfortunately it's all we have. All Nobodies obviously aren't as fortunate as they are to end up with bodies that resemble their former human forms. Also, Nomura wasn't going to go into whether they could have sex or not, or reproduce etc for the simple reason it's a game geared so that anyone including kids can play it. My best guess here would be that they -can- have sexual activities but cannot reproduce because of the state their body is in. If they have urges it would probably be carried over from their lives before and not from their current bodies. But we can take this how we want to and do our best guesses here because yeah, we certainly do not have much to go on, unlike Anne Rice's novels. I wouldn't go so far as with the Anne Rice novels to say that they would have 'no' sexual feelings but in the end I'm not sure and the analogy does work to some degree to compare them here. Considering that I do not feel the Organization members actually age and are also stuck in the forms they have, similar to the Vampires, it also works to compare them in that way. Of course, this age thing can be debated too but I'm pretty convinced Zexion was not 7 years old at the time before he was altered to be a Nobody and Xemnas looks exactly the same pretty much as the picture in Ansem's study from 10 years ago too. I could be wrong there but I'm 'pretty sure' the Nobodies are stuck at the same age but I think there may be a contingency too that if there is a Hearted person walking around, it may be possible that they grow as the hearted person does. I.e. maybe Roxas and Namine might have continued aging. Sadly, again this is a speculation and I'm not basing it on anything other than Namine seemed to be about the same size as Kairi in KH2 when in KH1/CoM, they were the same size too though Namine is thinner. I don't know what your feelings are on their ages changing, which I'd be curious to hear. I really never viewed the Org members as having a sexual orientation other than maybe what they felt prior to becoming Nobodies, even though Marluxia often is shown as the bishy gay guy in sooOOoo many fan fics and depictions of him. I did find it funny that in the beginning he was intended to be a female but Nomura changed it feeling that Xemnas was more of a chauvinist and wouldn't put a female in charge. Flowers can be pretty powerful and well, if you think of the curative and negative effects they can have, it does mesh in with death etc. Lotuses and roses actually often symbolize death or life or love etc. Poisons and toxins can be had from flowers. Also, the vines, yeah, probably are part of the flowers so plant may be too much, I agree. Flowers is official and on studying it more and thinking on it, reducing my spectrum from 'plants' over all, I can see why it was named such but someone has to really look closer beyond that to see why it's not bigger and all. I do though get now more why you called it 'nature' instead. Yeah, the convo has been easier and fun, and well has been insightful. See you later on and I await more epic posts of win from you in the RP. I also am excited to see how your RP will come about and definitely want in. We'll have to also think of how we might be able to do the Vampire RP as well sometime, if we can make it PG-13 heh heh. See you later because I'm off to school again too. rawr.
Basically, you want to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night if you can and also get in the habit of doing ritual bed times. i.e. if you get up for school at 6ish or 7ish, go to bed 8 or 9 hours before that time so you get what sleep is required for you. You can try using a heating pad. Nice baths where you can soak can help and you could try Epsom Salts which you can get in department stores like Walmart or Target for cheap, or get the smellier scented salts at other places that cater to bathing stuff and aromatherapy like Bed, Bath and Beyond. Drink water. It sounds repetitive but yes, drink around 6 to 8 glasses a day and get some kind of powder mix if water gets too boring for you, to spruce it up. The more active you are, the more water you need. Check your shoes out. They may be too 'bouncy' or something and be causing some unwanted pressure. Also try stretching and moving your legs about. At night perhaps, put a pillow under your knees to elevate your legs to ensure they are getting some circulation and try to keep blankets or sheets loose about you. Some shoes that are in fashion aren't the best things for people's feet. So this could be one of the things getting to you. Potassium or calcium deficiency can be a cause so keep eating a banana a day and drink a glass of milk a day. Take a multi-vitamin once per day. You don't need to eat 3 bananas etc , but just one per day and a glass of milk per day will let your body get used to the ritual again and it will help you out in the long run. Some other potassium rich foods are tomatoes, tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli, cantaloupe, oranges and grapefruits, so you don't have to just be stuck with bananas all the time. I know that would get really boring. Make sure with the multi-vitamin, even if it's something simple like Flintstones, that you get a vitamin including iron in it as you may have iron poor blood and that can also wear a person out and give cramps. Also make sure it has magnesium in it. Flintstones complete, Centrum or any of the major vitamins should have these sorts of nutrients. It may take a while to work into your system so your body fixes itself so expect a couple days at least to see some effects. Make sure when you do stretching exercises you aren't doing them too much and don't 'bounce' when doing them. i.e. if you are touching your toes, gradually work to do so, don't hurry and do motions back and forth to get to your toes. Stretch for 10 seconds and release from that position. The best cures while having leg cramps are to rub the muscle area, massage it and put your thumb or fingers on the area of pain and press not 'too' hard but with good pressure and count to 10. Then release. If the problem is really persistent after trying a multi-vitamin, upping your potassium, trying to elevate your feet when you sleep etc, I'd actually suggest when you go to your next doctor visit that you bring up the leg cramps to him/her. It could be an electrolyte imbalance that the multi-vitamin and improved potassium, calcium and magnesium intake aren't enough and so a doctor may have to evaluate that, or anemia, which the iron would help balance. Other than what I've mentioned, I'm not sure what else can assist you, but this takes some time so try a few of these things at least for a couple days and let me know if anything changes at all for you. I sure hope so. Leg cramps suck.
I'm going to move this to Current Events since it is a passing news thing. I find this funny though. There are movies with guns in them and posters with guns all over. Really, this is ignorant and yet another way fundamentalist conservatives again take the rights away from others because 'children' are an excuse. Most children aren't this dumb and sad to say but kids play with toy guns all the time and it doesn't make them grow up to be serial or spree killers or 'terrorists'. Pathetic control for what offends a few and once again we are supposed to think of 'the children' when children aren't going to even be so affected. They'd be more affected if we slapped posters with superheroes with guns in their hands like Batman or Spiderman. Oh their poor little brains and mixed messages. We've forgotten how to tell kids that movies are just fantasy.
Death TrueKeybladeMaster at 9:20 am Pacific. Short on cash and really wanting a new video game, TKM spots a fountain where people casually toss their petty change into it. He climbs in and begins gathering up the precious coins and counting so he knows just what he needs for 358/2 Days that comes out possibly sometime in September or October. He only needs a few more coins but sadly he slips on a patch of algae and hits his head on the side of the fountain, dying immediately. He was so darn close to getting to his goal too. Darn.
Darth Vader. So epic. May the fail be with you heh.
I wasn't so happy that the first time I could vote for president it was for that election. :( So yeah, for me this is better. We can always hope for better candidates though. After last election I thought really NOTHING could be worse. It was seriously like voting for the same person since both were in the Skull and Bones and well...had some histories that sucked and both were pretty lame.
Sorry to call it an early night but I have school so I have to cut out to try to feign sleep at least. See you guys later today!
ah hahahhaha. awesome. ooh and I saw a phire girl run by. More nakedness. Whoo hoo! Any way, I have to go early so I can actually be alive for school. See you guys later today!
I can't really think of anywhere in the western countries that isn't going through some period of recession at the moment, sadly. We are at a crossroads and need some change in the way we evaluate things. Promoting more job stimulus at the home countries would assist in this effort. Poking invention, motivation etc in small business and communities that often get overlooked due to big corps might be a help. It's a rough situation and everyone seems to be feeling the clinch of it now. I think we all need to evaluate really how much dependency we have on oil and more jobs would come from actually trying to divert ourselves from our dependency of it. Also, housing is a problem but if more stimulus applied to local jobs, promoting small businesses and giving a slight tax to those corps that choose to employ in other countries rather than helping their original ones, well it would make competition a more promising thing. Jobs aren't what they used to be for many people and that's where I think the focus really needs to be because if people cannot work simply because there's too much competition to finding work, well, they drain the governments without really wanting to. There's just so much wrong now that needs rethought as we change our global views and integration with others because now we are all seriously hurting ourselves even if we can buy things at a cheaper cost.
Nothing wrong with the girls being naked. I think we should have more of that. I approve of this message.
yeah, he wasn't feeling in a yellow or orange mood. You are safe this time!
I still say both are an improvement from the Bush/Kerry choice we had before. Now that sucked royally.
Twilight Town: Hayner shrugged. "Yeah sure. You are cool though. You can hang with us. Are you going to be sticking around?" "Might want to avoid causing much noise out there. Seifer and his group are always trying to make like they control things around here" Pence said to inform the newcomer of any bad experiences that could arise. _____________ Destiny Islands: DiZ frowned. "Demyx, we must go now and those who go through to the mansion doorway do so. We have little time to debate as Jack is now going on ahead and we should pursue him. Let us be going if you choose to walk the path to where it may lead." With that he turned and entered the Dark Portal, heading through to Twilight Town. He noticed Jack straying and swirls of Darkness then. "Jack, to Twilight Town. Do not confront anything here." His hand gestured in the direction and he then moved through opening another portal exit which led to outside the train station. He knew they would have to retrieve Roxas before pursuing any further, or at least find out the boy's intentions. "That guy sure is in a hurry. Well, let's go." Repliku waved and walked into the portal, feeling the Darkness move about him. He moved after the red cloaked guy who was still a mystery to him and then exitted out of the portal, unsure of what was going on. Riku simply let out a soft sigh. "It seems we have little choice now. Come on, Demyx, it'll be okay." He gave a glance to Sora, Namine and Kairi and then to Sombre. "You'll get to see Roxas again so that's something positive. Hopefully we can get this mission done before anything too bad happens." He smoothed his hair a moment and then stepped through the Darkness Portal. It had been some time since he had been in Twilight Town. He knew Roxas probably would not be so ecstatic to see him. Perhaps he could talk to Roxas, but for now he figured it would be best if Sora and Namine probably did the talking while he just did his usual act of looming and looking off as if he wasn't so concerned. The bigger worry here was the actual conditions in which the Organization was in and could they help them or would the Organization choose to fight them instead. He had stated that by now they all had to know they were virtual prisoners in their home so they would hesitate to do anything, but was it true? He hoped so and even if they did not do anything there immediately, what was to say that afterward things would not crumble around them and there would be a fight due to the past? Knowing things could turn sour at any moment to include the Organization may try to make whoever crossed over to help them take their deaths for them, or that after there could be serious problems, Riku steeled himself. He would watch for duplicity though he would hope there would not be any. It was his job to make sure that he saw anything that might turn out bad in such a regard.
Green, purple, red, blue, ...he's very artistic.
Accusation: Cocohints is accused by TKM. Cocohints is tied on top of a horse and taken out to the savanna of Africa where she is rolled in the carcasses of some buffalo and then dragged by the water where some crocodiles eye her tastily. Tied to the back of a water buffalo as it goes through the water and the crocs go after it doesn't break her. She is helped out of the water with some scrapes and bruises and lacerations and uh...she gets some stitches, like 500 of them, but hey, she's fine, right? They go to her house and toss stuff around aimlessly as they search for the Death Note. They also give her dolls and plushies away to starving kids in Zimbabwe as part of a charity service but they find nothing. She is released due to a lack of evidence.
