I would look into it more before deciding. If it is a hormone to induce pleasure and more 'social' skills to help a person overcome barriers by seeing and feeling more by expressions what others do feel...I have to say I am for it. Autism literally traps a person from being able to read others and see them as 'real' in a way and if this can help them overcome it and gain more empathy, I don't see why people are so against it. It's called a 'sex hormone' but the hormone is actually a product of sex and other things and runs doing other functions as well. I think it needs more news on what it is the particular hormone is responsible for and obviously if it works, it shows there is a lack of it naturally in autistic people. It's not like autistic people 'want' to be anti-social, but instead they just can't come out of a shell around them.
I'd say Xemnas easily since he is the leader and can even duplicate the other Org's weapons and all. I'm sure he had contingency plans and knew how to go against anyone. Second I'd say Xigbar because Space and Gravity are his elements which if he's not screwing around, he can also take out people from a distance or do mass damage to people in a group. Third, I'd say Luxord because if he had the power to 'stop' them all or do other nasty things with time, he'd be a very nasty foe.
OOC: Since DiZ is taken and all and no one has Yen Sid yet, I want to claim the crotchety old wizard. So gimmeh. Sora shrugged. He carried in what food he also had. "I don't really know. Also, probably will Roxas and Namine be gone after this too, back to joining with us? It's kind of all confusing. I guess we just have to wait and see. It seems like the Org is getting some chances to do things different now and well, if any can get away and not be gone...well I would hope we'd remember the outcome because what if some come after us later? I don't want there to be bad things that happen because some are not very nice at all." This was a worry now. There were some that were just plain rotten and had abused things as it was way worse than what others had done. He really hoped the Judge knew what he was doing and that the nightmare would be over and give those who deserved some chances to have them but others...they would hopefully not get out...and well, if they didn't remember this case, that was all the worse for preparing for it.
Harvey blinked as the Keyblade came within an inch of his face and then let out an audible "Phew" as the boy went down. That was close. Riku wandered over to get Roxas and picked him up, putting him into a chair carefully. "He really does smell bad. I'm tempted to take him outside and hose him down." The wreak was incredible. "This stuff could power jet engines." >.<
Harvey looked over at Roxas and blanched. He was going to make a wonderful character witness trsashed. Oh yeeeeeeeeeah. Attacking the Defense literally! He decided there was only one thing to do at this point. It was ironic only that he hit the Prosecution attorney instead and went on to go after another. And now Pika wandered out. This was JUST GREAT!!! He hoped a little light power would put Roxas back to some sense of sobriety. Aiming with his armband, he fired a beam that would possibly impact with Roxas. "You there! Calm down!"
OOC: Well I hate to spoil something heh. So go for it. Harvey shrugged. He wasn't sure what to make of this. He just did not want any bad repercussions out of it. "I leave it in your hands, Your Honor" he said to the Judge. "I still am not sure I see a reason to have everyone remain here after the trial, but if there is some cause, I would hope it would be told to us. As far as hearing this other information, I am willing to."
OOC: this is hilarious! Sora munched down his food rapidly. Then he looked at Kairi who just looked so unintentionally seductive. "You're so pretty" he mumbled and then blinked as she spoke. "Oh, yeah, right. I bet that would make them all happy! We should definitely buy them all some food." Repliku snerked. "Oh yeah, I got it memorized." He could just not help the grin of high amusement as Axel continued to make it worse and Roxas dragging on his cloak was not helping any. The smell of Roxas's liquor was spreading through the air and Repliku rubbed his nose. "You had to get him really drunk to get him all over you too."
Riku just lofted a brow at Axel and Roxas. "This is definitely not helping your image." This was all he could even think to say as he was listening to the trench coat dude as well.
OOC: Doh, forgot harvey's thing...too fast with the button. sorry i have to edit. Repliku looked over at Axel and Roxas ...and boy did that look suggestive to him, what Axel was doing and Roxas was all drugged out or something. "...and you were mentioning fanfics...maybe they exist for a purpose after all." He wished suddenly he had a camera to take a picture or something. It sucked being a clone with no possessions but a sword and dark mode and the clothes he wore. Why didn't Vexen give him a darn camera phone! He glanced over at Xelax curiously after and then back at Roxas and Axel...who were still in a compromising position. Harvey shrugged. "Well, just who are you then? And why order people to remain here only if that is your intent? If we are making mistakes, I would think we'd like to know -before- we proceed further and if there is some worry of outside influence, well, I'd like to know too. Are you suggesting we all not leave the building or this room?"
Riku lofted a brow. What right did this person have to say to sequester anyone? That was pretty bold to say considering they still had a lot of people to try and go through. This man had no right to do such a thing at all. "If you mean that people involved in this case will be removed from the court house, I think that's pretty darn bold of you to say. We have other trials to do other than Marluxia's and you have no right to make such demands at all. I hope you will better explain yourself because calling out the witnesses is ridiculous and makes the trials that much more difficult to be just." Riku really hoped that wasn't what this kook was saying and that he had misheard because that would definitely ensure the remaining Org members were tried wrong. They may get harsher or much more lenient punishments than merited. Who the heck was this nutjob anyway that just thought he could come in and make demands? It was just darn wrong. Riku then shivered a moment. A realization hit him. What if this guy was going to do something awful to Marluxia after? Yeah, Marluxia was a dork and all, but this guy was just giving Riku the creeps, reminding him of some of the nefarious people he had hung around that tossed life candidly to the wind and even killed others for their benefit. What if this guy was going to kill Marluxia and take his soul or something? And that's why they had to leave or else they'd be hurt...What if he was going to be Marluxia's executioner? Okay, maybe Riku was beginning to delusion now with how his mind wandered but he had been through too much to not have some hypothesis of dread. "What are you going to do to him?", he whispered, unsure he actually wanted to say his suspicion out loud. Even if he didn't like Marluxia much after what he heard...the worst he hoped for was the guy would be imprisoned and safe away from others and they away from him. Harvey blinked and looked over at the man. "That is quite some claim to want and the Judge should not agree to such a thing at all." Birdman just didn't get what all this extra stuff was and why they just could not try these people and get done with it. "Also, you are coming in from the outside, interrupting proceedings, and not talking to either the Prosecution or the Defense. Your testimony does not mean much in that case so to demand sequestering of anyone is ludicrous at best. If you have something to say, you should follow things as surely the rest of us must. The Prosecution will resist this separation or segregation request on behalf of the point the witnesses are needed and so are the remaining Organization members to plead their cases."
Yeah, that's what I think is the reason they needed the Keyblade wielder. Basically if people kill Heartless around him, the Hearts go to Kingdom Hearts. If they don't do it around the Keyblade wielder, then the Heartless probably just reform since their hearts won't be released to go anywhere.
Yes, Marluxia had Namine and set up Sora and Axel to fight. He left and so Axel and Sora fought, Axel then fakes his death, dark portaling away. After, Sora gets to Marluxia and he makes the comment about Axel being gone. Riku Replica comes back and they fight Marluxia. Meanwhile, Axel later shows up when Riku Replica is wandering and Marluxia is gone. He sets up Repliku to kill Zexion after Riku defeated him. This results in Repliku's demise because Riku fights him after. Axel leaves there being the only surviving member of the Organization. In KH2, he goes back to the remaining members of the Org, is ordered to get Roxas back or terminate him. He fails to get him to come back and his memories are gone and rewritten. So after a hefty threat of being made into a dusk, he returns and has to kill Roxas...however, he makes it 'look good' and fails, then disappears faking death again. Later he returns and actually does die when he does the kamikaze maneuver with Sora in the betwixt and between area. When Sora defeats Roxas, there's the cutscene with Axel and it hints that Axel went on back to his Somebody as there is a tear he drops. In the novel, Namine states this is what happens. Hope that clears it up.
I always threw it to the point that people could get temporarily rid of the Heartless possibly but because they weren't killed by a Keyblade, they could manifest again. However, if Sora or another Keyblader was around then anyone who made Heartless kills with him in the area, they would be good enough to send the Heart to where it was supposed to go because the people would be linked to Sora. In the case of the Organization, it would be because they were linked with Roxas. The Keybladers had to be important in some symbolic way and I think that is it, though of course if the people also were using mundane weapons or no magic, then it would still be rather improbable. I think the Keyblades themselves go off the feelings of the Keyblader who depends on his friends to get things done too. I hope this made any sense, but I think this is why it works out that even those without Keyblades can get rid of Heartless -if- a Keyblade master is in the area fighting too. I think that if a Keyblade master is not present, then the Heartless may be possibly driven back by magic or something but they aren't destroyed so that the Hearts release, and that would explain why the Organization required Sora and Roxas because it's obvious if they didn't need them, they could have gone out to destroy Heartless themselves and freed the Hearts for their plan.
There is that interview and also in the KH2 novel, Namine explains that Axel went back to his somebody when asked about his death. So I would guess that is pretty much what happened.
Sora's jaw gaped as he listened to Kairi list off a ton of food that could feed 8 people pretty easily maybe. "Huh?"...it took a bit to process what she had said. Still, even with giving the others grande meals...that was a lot of food. Kairi must be working out a lot or pregnant, he thought. "Oh, my turn... >.> ...<.< .."I'll have three bacon chalupas and an empanada and a soda." He waited for his food and fished in his pockets for some munny to give the freckled teenager behind the counter. Then he handed the guy the munny and took the food as it came to him and let Kairi get some of course because there was a lot there. Sora then made his way over to a table and sat down, unwrapping one of the chalupas and digging in. "Mhmm..this is delicious after nothing but M&Ms to eat all day."
And Jesus's life mirrors Horus's life. Events can be seen that were taken from the ziggurats etc. The Bible has been around a long time but it doesn't make it valid anymore than anything else. Why is it a religion while Celtic, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Norse, Roman and Greek religions are now called 'Mythologies' and they predate it? Why is Hinduism, which is still going strong, not the dominant religion and 'the way'? Buddhism is also predating Christianity. Science and evolution aren't about again, canceling religious beliefs. Science gives a way to look and research things with hands on efforts and to evaluate things, cross-examine that around us. It's a different way to look at things rather than to be told 'this is how it is' end of story. Should we never explore for ourselves our designs and the world about us? If so, we'd be still in a stone age. Without science and evolution, studies of genetics etc, we'd be very well not where we are now or even understand how viruses work. We'd have no defense against diseases that are genetic that we've discovered have been around possibly since the dawn of mankind, and also exist in the animal world. If anything, examinations in science has always been around and could very well predate Christianity, Judaism and any religion out there. Darwin came up with the theory of evolution but it's not like these things weren't at all analyzed before. He put it together and it continues to this day to be scrutinized, tested and examined. and it doesn't have to be that way. Why can't the Bible be scrutinized and examined for what it has whether someone believes in God or not? There are many Christians who see flaws in it including warped historical data, if we want to rise above analyzing the many 'miracles' within its pages. I cannot consider someone a lesser Christian because they don't buy into a book that men wrote and put together 200 years after Jesus's death. Are there moral things to glean from the book? Sure. But it is still tremendously faulty with historical data, let alone the fact it just says 'how it is' and is supposed to be the end all be all for our creation. All evidence points to the fact there could never have been just two people who spawned off the human race. Even the Bible itself doesn't account for how some people just cropped up that Cain interacts with and Adam does. Also, looking at the story of just Adam and Eve... Eve was punished much more than Adam to do what? She was forced to give birth and have monthlies. This is a trait all mammals pretty well have, isn't it? As for wearing clothes...big punishment, guilt thing going on too here...this can be explained because it was cold outside and people decided to wear attire since they lacked in fur coating animals had to protect themselves from the elements. Why do we need the -shame- of saying that a woman gave a man a forbidden fruit out of ignorance and so we all suffer for it when our existences make a lot more sense when looking at all other life around us too? Why was a woman considered stupid and soulless because of what the Bible said and she would need a man to watch over her? Why if God is omniscient and omnipotent, did he not see what Satan was doing in giving her the forbidden fruit in the first place? Why if he's so omniscient and 'compassionate' did he decide to punish Adam and Eve for something that any young child might do? Do we punish a kid who gets into something he/she should not and all of his offspring in the future for the same crime two initially did out of ignorance instead of just taking the thing away and disciplining and warning the kid not to do it again? Really, how is Adam and Eve a relevant thing to believe in? Animals poke around stuff all the time getting into things. Young kids do too. It's part of nature. So how does this make sense that God created these two as the first living beings, punishes them for Satan's treachery, has to know of it, but seems to not until he sees them with leaves over their groins? This is -real- to people? This very story is one of the reasons women have been mistreated for thousands of years and made virtual slaves, rape victims, and also if a man committed adultery, the woman was stoned to death. I'm sorry, but the logic that this even happened is just nigh impossible and where is there any -proof- other than the writing of it? So, what proof is there to support Creationism other than a book? Hinduism describes the creation to some detail as well and if I was to place trust in a religion because of 'age' for validity and that it still survives today, I'd probably have to swing more to Hinduism. What makes one way right over another if not age of how long something has been presented?
Well, it seems he wasn't grounded. I know that would have been my parents' instincts. lol. He also wasn't sent to a psyche ward for evaluation. So I guess his mom understood after the initial panic and 'oh there you are' deal. It would have been interesting to see Sora and Riku's parents' reactions but I guess we are left to always wonder.
Welcome to the site ..even though you were here for a while!
Sora's cheeks turned a nice crimson color as he blushed and then kind of tried to act 'cool' by scratching the back of his neck, hoping that the blush would go away. "Umm..sure!" he responded and looked around for the Taco Bell. Conveniently it wasn't too far away. "I'll go with you". His stomach had been nurtured for hours on M&Ms as well and yeah, it just was not the right food he was craving. Sweets were great but just not what the body truly craved for sustenance.
You are absolutely right. Blaming people and pointing fingers won't help Ochi. I'm sure your dad feels guilt over it too because it's just a horrible thing to happen and he wishes he had been there. When he has time to calm down, he will see that as horrible as it is, it was just out of the power of people to do anymore than what Joey did. It is good that Ochi is responding even though they had to put him out again, so that's a positive. I was worried he'd be in a coma or something after that. You are going through so much but seem to be handling things with a sober mind so keep hanging in there. *hugs* Keep watching Paul and keep hoping.
