Sora poked Roxas, watching the body just stay there unmoving except for his breathing. "Well...he's going to have a bad hangover if he stays like that, right?" "I vote we let the bailiff do it or we toss him in a cold shower or pool." Riku smirked. He had a mischievous side to him when he wanted it.
I am not sure whether Xehanort is Terra or if he's the apprentice of Master Xehanort. I believe he could be either one. Xehanort, before becoming a Heartless, did open the door to Radiant Gardens' Heart. He also is responsible for sending Kairi out believing she will find the intended Keyblade wielder, who he wanted to find to use or to get rid of. In the Ansem Reports (the ones in KH) he seems to find out these things from overhearing Ansem the Wise and King Mickey. However, the door there, he opens when he follows a Heartless (which he had brought there) to the door. Riku also opens the door on Destiny Islands, which shows the Keyblade wielders may have that ability even without a Keyblade. (Originally keeping in mind Riku was the intended Keyblader). So, it is very likely that Xehanort was a Keyblade wielder, which prompts people to think it could be Terra. The apprentice in the funky Rikuesque armor also had a Keyblade. So, it could be him. Going with though, if it's Terra...when Xehanort gives himself to Darkness, he would lose all bonds with the Keyblade. Since he apparently did not know himself if he was one or not, and his memories were very unclear, he probably gained memories after his two components separated. So there's Ansem (the Heartless Xehanort) who studies Darkness and could not come to the physical realm fully until he could take over Riku's form...and we have Xemnas, who being created off of memories and Darkness, may have actually acquired some memories back. Xigbar, who apparently does have some past with Keyblade wielders etc, may have also filled in Xemnas. Xemnas though, unlike Roxas who is obviously at least a portion of Ven, is a Nobody that has a tremendous amount of power, but otherwise was unremarkable. So, unlike Roxas, who had ties to Sora and could get a Keyblade, Xemnas doesn't. After all, his whole self gave in to Darkness and not for wholesome reasons, as Sora did. As for Terra in KH2:FM..if he is a part of the actual game intended and not just a fill in thing, I would almost wager that it was his Soul perhaps, but I'm not sure. I think until we see BBS, we aren't going to get why the Enigmatic Soldier was there, but if Nomura just put it in there for a challenge, it may make it non-Canon or explained sometime in KH3. I have a few ideas on what happened with Terra in the past as well as the apprentice but it's all guess work. Your analysis though is very good.
Jeez...I think he's a kid I'd opt for a good ol fashioned spanking and then some therapy. I wouldn't take that crap. Mind you, I don't recommend spankings often. It seems he's just doing it all for attention and to be as disruptive as possible.
MUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIN... come back when you can. rawr. We miss you.
Seems like she's not disciplining them enough but then again I'm not there to say so. She must get sick of him throwing tantrums and screaming. He can be stuck in his room like anyone else. At this point though if he's that bad and nothing works, maybe your mom really should get him to a counselor and find out what's going on. Something doesn't seem right if he's actually crying every day at seven years old and still throwing tantrums. You have a lot of patience and I feel for ya.
*makes notes...the plot is working* Um, I dunno. Where are you?
I can understand that. I would let him around the kitten but only if someone is there with him but perhaps it should wait till the kitten is a bit older if he is particularly violent. Also, talk to your mom if he does hurt the cat because really he should be disciplined. Hurting an animal and getting no punishment can sometimes encourage kids to hurt people later on. Then, I bet she'd care more. He is seven and you are right. He's old enough to know better.
Cupcake, I hate to say this...but your mom is kind of right. The kitten should be staying more at home and needs your attention there so that it gets used to its territory and isn't afraid. Taking it around to other places is only going to make it afraid at this stage and also lost. As the cat grows, it also isn't going to take to going to other places with ease. Cats are not very portable and get intimidated easily to new places. As for your brother, I'd kind of let your brother see the kitten but make sure he's being nice to it. If he's not, say when he's nice he can play with it but otherwise he cannot. Your mom may be going about things the wrong way, such as hiding the cat on you, but in the end I think she's trying to get you to see that taking it around and showing it off isn't very good for it and instead it needs a stable home and you there to watch over it as it grows.
Where was Sora stopping them prematurely...? They went after him, ICSP. They attacked Beast, attacked him coming out of the mansion etc. They poked and prodded at him and finally he got sick of it because despite what you think about Saix etc, he was a manipulating being that was at LEAST a mental sadist. They were all doing their things to him first so in the end, why were they -bothering- him? Why were they going after Beast and why did they curse Jack etc? Sora was not out to kill them from the beginning as you accuse.
I only saw one person mention Luxord...but I will say to me he was the most annoying fight...because it was kind of lame. I didn't lose to him or anything, but it was annoying! In CoM, fighting Marluxia twice annoyed me because he was so easy and also annoying and I wanted to get to Reverse Rebirth.
You both are right in a way. Yes, King Mickey didn't say they were evil but he did say they had to be stopped, as did Yen Sid, as did Riku etc. They were messing up a lot of things and also not trying to get back to their bodies, but instead make the Nobodies whole as they were. The goals costed a lot of lives and also ironically made more Heartless and Nobodies. Their idea wasn't so wholesome but their method of employing it; even worse. ICSP: Where did Namine and Mickey make like they were 'good guys?'. They didn't strongly imply they were not evil. Sora never implied they were evil either under your same argument. Your argument can be countered against you ICSP as Namine and King Mickey were clearly fighting against them and trying to help Sora who was being centered and forced to play the Org's game. Even Yen Sid never said they were -evil- but it doesn't mean that they did not have to be stopped. Their methods again, put them in the predicament they chose. Sora did not. I'd suggest so people do not just get mad that another thread is devoted to 'Was Sora Justified' this move over to that thread. Please? I know others are extremely getting tired of seeing this argument everywhere else but there. Some even want that thread closed, but I think it should stay open because of reasons like this. It means people can go through there and ask this stuff as well as see what was already debated on.
I put normal Riku because in KH2 it showed to me he had grown and finally had received a sort of redemption. I do like the cloaked/blindfolded Riku too because it was symbolic that he was trying to mend himself and make up for his past while helping his friends out and doing a lot of sacrifices to do so.
I still feel some issues about Kairi. I don't hate her but most of her powers are subliminal and passive. I.e. she can change Sora back to himself because of the link of their hearts, and she can bring back Sora and Riku by...the link she has with Sora. The bond between Kairi and Sora is set in stone so that her abilities really (and Namine's too) only seem to matter when it's Sora or Roxas involved. Riku hardly got any support out of it and in some cases, he was worse off than Sora. Kairi's heart also rested in Sora through the whole game of KH and he didn't realize it. She really was made to be a Mary Sue. The only redeeming thing I saw in Kairi was that in KH2 she finally told them she was going to go with them from now on and no leaving her behind. Sora seemed to do the 'can't let the girl get hurt' so she was left behind in Traverse Town after she did want to go with him to get Riku back. It's the only time she actually showed she gave a crap about Riku at all. For a pure hearted girl, she certainly was willing to go off with Sora alone on the raft Riku mostly made. I also found Namine to have the same streak of 'oOoh Sora' with how she treated Riku Replica and also ignored Riku's problems until the end when he might die because he thought Zexion was Sora. I really didn't think either girl was that great because of that. A friend is a friend and neither girl defended the other friend that was more than willing to help. After all, Riku -did- save Kairi and take her to Twilight Town. Yeah, he was messed up mentally in KH but he did get her body back and guarded her. He also isn't the one who told Kairi she can't go anywhere and instead gives her a Keyblade and lets her do her thing. He was a friend but Kairi...her thoughts are so two-dimensional as were Namine's. If it wasn't Sora or Roxas, who cared. I also found Namine's sudden 'interest' in Roxas to be kind of disturbing. Saying that, I still think Kairi has potential and that she may turn things around as she finally began to in KH2 at the end. Yes, she got a girly flowery Keyblade, but she also did go out and fight and take some brave moves and finally said she was going to not be left behind anymore. She's not going to hopefully be just Sora's girl, and she will instead make a name for herself, I hope. I don't hate her but for a main character she was just pushed along the story from the very beginning. Of course, Riku doesn't get much spot light either but at least we feel we know the character's dimensions, even if some people call him emo. I'd just like to see more reaction and emotional depth at least of Kairi to determine if she's a good character or not. It's hard to say at this point because all she's ever done is get kidnapped, pushed along, giggle, and have the hots for Sora. I won't say she played Riku and Sora when they were growing up. She didn't 'mind' their competitions which were friendly, but I wouldn't say like some others have that she promoted it. I think in KH, Riku already knew her choice which is why he was trying to get Sora to pay attention and teased him about the Paopu Fruit. Riku was done with the competition because he's perceptive and he knew Sora had some jealousy and Kairi had made her choice already, so being a friend, he teased Sora a bit but was trying to get him to see. Later, when he becomes corrupted by Darkness, he's angry but I would pass that off as Darkness threatening to consume him and all, and not really what he absolutely felt in a sane calm mind.
Hmm, I don't tend to eat guinea pigs. They are too cute and the fur gets in between teeth. *drops some pellets around the room* I think I'm supposed to experiment here or something. It is a mad lab. I should be inventing something awesome that all will enjoy immensely or run in terror from. There can be no middle ground.
Sora scratched the back of his neck. Well, as long as he'd only go out cold for 5 hours, that wasn't so bad...was it? "Is that a bad thing, Riku?" "He's probably been out cold from drinking for much longer than that", Riku responded assuredly. Repliku watched Jack with some slight intrigue. The guy was funny. "I wonder what it's like to be drunk." "We can always ask Roxas when he wakes up! And...skunks are cool." "IF he wakes up." Sora looked at Roxas and poked him. "He's going to be okay...right?" "After a good bath and sobering up, or one of those shots, I'm sure he'd be dandy."
I have a fan club. *turns and raises arms in the air* Now, the world shall know my true power! What's funny is I didn't even know about these...so now I have others to join too. I even get guinea pigs. This rules.
Yeah, it does look too fake. Never seen an apparition image that was so 'clear' so I am presuming it is fake as well. Though it never hurts to have an hour long show of Ghost Hunters on it. I like that show.
Harvey Birdman sighed. "I don't have anything of gold..." Except maybe his crest...no, he would not give that up to the pirate. There had to be something else. He looked about the court room frantically then stopped. "Hey...wait a minute! Captain Jack Sparrow, don't you want justice for your ship being stolen and all? We just need you to testify as to what happened and do it clearly. PUH_LEASE!" It was getting to the point of desperation here. Otherwise, the only one who could testify against him was Sora again and he really didn't want to have to make the boy do so against each Organization member. "Don't you want to make the story known? I'm sure it adds to your legend and intrigue. You do have a reputation, after all." Yes, why not attempt mind bogglery at this point? He had no gold.
The Shadows...they are so darn cute. I want a plushie of one.
OOC: LOL, Jack and Zack are great. haha Harvey winced as the needle went into Jack and was glad suddenly he was very sober, even if at times he was hyped up on caffeine. That Jack guy was rather insane! Then again, so was Zack. "Owww..." Sora couldn't help having some empathy for poor Jack as his posterior had been prodded by that evil looking needle. "I hope that stuff has no side effects." Riku lofted a brow, after wincing in sympathy to the jab of the needle. He hated needles but one thing after that Zack said made Riku wonder. "Uh, what do you mean that it's up to Jack Sparrow?" He had a nasty suspicion that the serum had something in it that would probably harm Jack if he drank again any time soon. The guy was a pirate lush so yeah, that was bound to happen the moment he stepped off the stand if he had any on him. This place was kind of cool though. Someplace that could make you sober in a moment's notice...this could work well on Friday party nights at college.
