  1. (Awesome, thanks!) ****FLASHBACK**** Rebekah felt her face getting warm from embarrassment at not having remembered that Callum had told them this. Had she been there at the time? She must have been, but maybe she had been too focused on Felix, or maybe something stupid, like herself. “And do you have a dream now? Maybe a different one?” she asked quietly. ****PRESENT**** Rebekah climbed into the ambulance behind Callum and the medics, and when she got to Callum’s side, she noticed a strange expression on his face as he looked at Felix. She tried to decipher it, wondering if she should be worried about this. He seemed...conflicted. But before she was able to study his face further, one of the medics came up beside him, blocking her view.
  2. (Oh crap. Number XV, I actually re-edited Mariah's part to better go along with what was happening in yours and Not-with-a-whimper's previous posts. I made it so that now Mariah is seeing the blood coming from Joy's mouth and she's charging back at Corey and all that. But did you want me to put my post back to the way it was before?)
  3. Well, Star Wars 1313 and Lightning Returns catch my attention, though I probably wont' be playing them. Especially Lightning Returns. It looks awful.
  4. (Ah, Mariah's part was intended to come after Not-with-a-whimper's post, #2161. Haha I hadn't seen that there were a few posts made today. Anyway, I edited it to work with what's happening now.)*****FLASHBACK*****Rebekah stepped into the car with Callum and smiled. “So, Callum, since we haven’t really had any one-on-one time, tell me a bit about yourself. Your family life, school, friends back home, whatever.”****PRESENT*****At Felix’s words, Aqua blushed a little and looked down bashfully. Now it seemed obvious to everyone that she had a thing for Callum. And there was also the fact that this whole Inhabiter matter had to make things really awkward for Felix and Rebekah. But they were so understanding, which she was very grateful for. She allowed Rebekah to take her body back so that she could do what Felix had asked.Rebekah brought out her cell phone and dialed for an ambulance, making up a lame excuse about how some hooded gang members had jumped them, which would account not only for Callum’s stab wound, but also all of the cuts and bruises and burns that she and Callum and Felix had received from the confrontation with Alexis and Scott that morning. At least the emergency responders seemed to buy it.------------------------------------------------------------Keilani nodded and swallowed. She wasn’t sure why, but something about Troy’s words seemed ominous, seemed to hold more gravity than they were meant to. She pushed the strange feeling aside and maintained the happy, contented look on her face. “Aye, captain. Lead the way.”------------------------------------------------------------Mariah finally reached Corey and dove in to punch him, only to have pain shoot through her arm as there was almost no give beneath her fist; she may as well have punched a solid, rubber block. She cried out in pain and frustration through a clenched jaw as she stumbled back, holding the hurt hand in the other and glaring for a moment at the cocoon that contained their enemy. “What the--” His wings didn’t look that tough.“Run,” Tifa urged in quiet fear. Then her voice became louder and clearer. “He’s building up power for a fatal attack. RUN!!”Mariah hesitated only to give a warning look to Joy. “Stop, Joy, don’t attack!” she screamed, hoping he would trust her and listen. “Get out of here!!!” With that, she took off, running at top speed, as far from the remains of the house as she could get before the devastating blow.As she ran, she could hear something crunching against a tree far behind her, and she could guess that it wasn't Corey. It took all her willpower not to run back and help Joy, but if he was badly injured, she would be of far more use to him alive than dead. So she kept running. Hold on, Joy, she thought. Please.She felt intense heat against her back, and it felt even more potent due to the burn her skin had already suffered. But none of the flames reached her this time. Once the attack seemed to be over, she skidded to a stop and turned around to see Joy charging at Corey. She could also see a patch of red near his mouth, and hoped that blood was coming from only his mouth, and not from an internal organ. She ran back again towards Corey, and jumped up to kick him.------------------------------------------------------------Alexis clenched her fist and growled. “Screw the FBI. I’m done with this. All these stupid Inhabiter brats ruining my life. From here on out, I’m just going after very specific targets so that Larxene will shut the hell up, and once those idiots are finished, I’m going back to my old life. I had just as much money and power as I needed, even without this bitch’s help.”“EXCUSE ME!” Larxene fumed. “I will not take that kind of degradation, you pathetic--”“Anyway!” Alexis screamed so that she’d be able to drown out the awful shrieking. “You’re right, we won’t be going back to the house together,” she said, glaring at Scott. Though she wasn’t angry directly at him, she needed someone to blame the whole disaster on, and he was the most convenient candidate. “You’ll be going back to your gigantic, plush mansion, and I’ll be working solely with Larxene, far away from you.” She turned away from Scott, trying to storm off, but some of the initial, more intense rage had subsided, and she stopped. Did she really mean to never see him again? She wasn’t sure what was happening, but that thought set a spark somewhere deep within her, causing her to burn slowly and painfully from the inside. Dammit, what is this? she thought.She turned back to face Scott once more, and, keeping her eyes devoid of any emotion aside from slight anger, she walked to him quickly, grabbed him by the back of his neck, pulled his face down roughly to meet hers, and kissed him intensely. Then she pulled her face back and looked into his eyes, careful not to reveal any longing or softness or any of that other crap in her own. “Got anything to say before I go?” she asked.(That's right, Alexis is back!! Not-with-a-whimper and I agreed to sort of alter what happened in Damion's post, #1997, LOL because we both had no idea where Damion had intended to go with the confrontation between Alexis and Victor, or how or why Victor was going to leave and all of that. And I also wanted to do something with Aleixs. So I'm starting up again right after the point where Damion posted about Scott, and Not-with-a-whimper will decide what to do with Victor later.)
  5. Just once. I actually wasn't very impressed with it like most people who've played it seem to be, so I have no intentions to play through it again anytime soon. But I'll probably end up playing it again someday in the distant future.
  6. I think I may quite literally be the only KH fan in existence who actually enjoyed the recon missions in Days... X'D Anyway, I'm not sure which part of the remix I'm looking forward to the most--KH1 or the Days cutscenes. On one hand, after nearly a decade, we're finally getting a FIRETRUCKING ENGLISH VERSION OF KH1FM!!! On the other hand, the HD Days cutscenes will look breathtakingly phenomenal after what was in the DS game. I actually wish Square would've gone ahead and completely remade Days for the PS3, but, ah well. As for Chain of Memories, we're getting pretty much the exact same thing we got with Re:Chain of Memories, only with slightly crisper graphics and trophy support. So...nothing too special there in comparison. And so, like I said, I can't decide between Days and KH1.
  7. Nooooo I want Hayden Panettiere so much!!!!! T_T For both Kairi and Xion! I swear, I'd give up watching Nashville, just let them cancel the whole show, to see that happen!!
  8. Now please just give me the return of Christopher Lee as DiZ, and my life will be perfect. Having Hayden Pannettiere voicing Xion wouldn't hurt, either.
  9. *****FLASHBACK***** “I’ll go with you,” Rebekah replied with a smile, then she shrugged. “I’ve got nothing else to do.” More than just having nothing to do, though, she could sense that Aqua really wanted to accompany Callum. She still wasn’t saying anything, which was a little strange. Aqua? You alright? Rebekah thought to her Inhabitor. “I don’t know...” Aqua said. “I just...have some things to figure out...” Rebekah sighed, put her shirt back on, and drew her attention to Callum again. “Okay, whenever you’re ready.” *****PRESENT***** Aqua made a half-choking, half-sobbing sound at Callum’s words and pulled him close so that he couldn’t see her face, being careful not to hurt him. She managed to hold back her tears as she smiled and let go of her Keyblade, saying, “I told you you’d be fine.” Then she laughed a little and drew back to look at him again. “I guess this means we’re even, huh? You saved my life, and now I’ve saved yours.” Now that she was over her fear of losing him, Aqua stared at Callum nervously. She had never felt this way before, and had no idea what to say. This entire situation was doubly complicated by the fact that this boy was Inhabited by one of her worst enemies...though that enemy had saved her life not too long ago. She trusted Callum, but how much could she trust Vanitas? What was his agenda, anyway? She knew there was the χ-blade, but Callum and Ventus and Troy could take care of that, keep him from acquiring it...but was there anything else? Whatever the case, Aqua was almost past the point of caring. She knew that she loved Callum too much to try to shut him out any longer.
  10. Well, I just found out, and I'm on the verge of tears. Like, really. I think it's safe to say that I'm beyond extremely happy.

  13. Mariah reacted quickly when she saw the flame coming up at her, knowing that it would be impossible to avoid altogether. She turned herself over in the air so that her back was to the fire, and curled herself into a ball, trying to become as small as possible, then she squeezed her eyes shut and clenched her jaw, waiting... She cried out in pain and nearly lost her focus when the burning assaulted her, but barely managed to hang on to her focus and did several flips in the air as she went back down, landing on her feet. She then dropped to the ground immediately and rolled over to smother the flames, then jumped back up once she was sure the flames were gone. The smell of burnt cloth, hair, and even flesh came to her nose, but Mariah ignored that, as well as the incredible pain on her back, and ran back towards the house to attack Corey. ------------------------------------------------------------ Keilani felt her heart swell a little at the endearing name Troy used to refer to her, and smiled again. “Of course that’s alright with me,” she replied. “Any ideas on where we would stop?” ------------------------------------------------------------ *****FLASHBACK***** Rebekah’s eyebrows raised in surprise for a split second, then her face relaxed again. She tried to pretend she didn’t understand, to ignore the reason behind the question, but deep down, she knew... And now she had to figure out the right words that would let Callum off easy, while also telling him that she simply wasn’t interested in him...wait, was that true? Wasn’t there some part of her that wanted to be with him? No...that was Aqua. It was the influence of her Inhabitor, exactly what had caused so much controversy and confusion as to whom Mariah loved. Only, unlike her cousin, who was purely in love with Joy regardless of Inhabitor influence, Rebekah didn’t actually have those feelings for Callum. She shared her heart with Aqua, yes, and could now feel her Inhabitor’s pain and yearning and love for this boy before them...but it wasn’t the same. Rebekah loved Felix, and it was really only Aqua who...was in love with Callum? Or was it just a crush? She wasn’t sure. She swallowed and gave Callum a small smile. “Well, our relationship is...going really well. We love each other very much...” She cast her eyes down and continued almost in a whisper, “I’d give my life for him.” She could feel Aqua getting restless, like she had something to say, but her Inhabitor remained silent. Rebekah decided to give Aqua some space until she decided what it was she wanted to do or say. *****PRESENT***** Rebekah gasped when she looked over and saw Callum covered in blood, and she was thrown into a panic. “No, Callum!!” she screamed, running over to him. Aqua instantly took over while Rebekah was in mid-run, then knelt beside Callum, ignoring the blood and the vomit, and grasping his shoulders, looking into his eyes. “Callum, don’t do this. Stay with me.” Her voice was calm and authoritative for the most part, but she was unable to fully hide her desperation. Aqua kept a hand on one of his shoulders while she used the other to thrust her Keyblade into the air over Callum’s head. “Heal!” she cried, with a note of pleading in her voice. “You’re gonna be fine, you hear me?” she said as leaves and vines and flowers issued from her weapon and surrounded him.
  14. Erm...I don't know how I feel about it. On one hand, I totally dig not having to wait two or three years just to get my hands on the next installment...on the other hand, the fact that we are guaranteed a new KH game once each year kind of cheapens the experience, you know? There's something so rewarding about finally getting something you've been waiting so long for, which happened when we got KH2 and Re:CoM in the States. Now it's just kind of like, "Oh, another KH game, cool..." instead of "FINALLY IT'S HERE, I'VE AWAITED THIS FOR TWO+ YEARS!!!!" Haha IDK if I'm making any sense here. But yeah. There you go.
  15. Oh, I love it! I don't go very often, though, since it costs an arm and a leg nowadays, especially if you want to get the whole experience with popcorn and soda and candy. If you don't have those snacks at the theater, the movie-going activity just doesn't feel right.
  16. *****FLASHBACK***** Rebekah laughed. “Sorry, just ensuring that you get my point. I won’t do that again. And of course Felix is going to come back--there’s no way he would just abandon us, or Alex, for that matter. It would haunt his conscience horribly if he didn’t keep to his word after telling Alex that he’d go get him.” Her face and her voice softened as she continued to clean Callum’s burns gently. “And I am sorry, I’ve just always been suspicious of other people. It’s kind of an automatic thing for me. But you’ve definitely proven yourself trustworthy, not only to me, but to Aqua as well. And we’re both grateful even to Vanitas for saving us. He could’ve just let us die and have that be the end of it, but he didn’t.” She shook her head in amazement, then brought out some ointment and gauze from the First-Aid kit in the kitchen drawer and started to apply them to his wounds once she was done cleaning them.
  17. So has anyone noticed...that no one's posted in this thread for eight months and I'm posting here now because I'm really bored with my procrastinating?
  18. I would have some serious issues if they did, seeing as I'm an adult and all. And when I was still a minor, no, they didn't control the games I purchased, mostly because they trusted me to only buy games that were age-appropriate for me, and I didn't have any trouble sticking to that, since I really only play KH and FF, along with some other games with not tons of adult content.
  19. Pretty sure it was this, or something very similar to it:
  20. Just before Corey’s foot hit her, Mariah shot one arm up in front of her face, blocking some of the impact. It really only ensured that nothing would get fractured and the bruise on her face wouldn’t be quite as horrible. When he kicked her, she was knocked back and started to fall, but then she reached both of her hands up, took hold of Corey’s foot, and used her arms to launch herself into the air again, attempting to fly up over him so that she could attack from above.------------------------------------------------------------Keilani sighed with relief at Troy’s reassuring embrace. After a few moments of silence, she looked back up at him and smiled, wanting to make more casual conversation after all of this heavy, stressful stuff. Just for a little bit, she wanted to get her mind off of everything that would be burdening her for the next few days, or--depending on the outcome of the battle their friends were currently in--maybe even for the rest of her life. “So, a mountain within a tropical island, huh? I guess I can live with that,” she said playfully. “Is that going to be a long trip, though? Will we need to make any stops? Or can you fly this thing super fast?” she challenged with a giggle.
  21. Well, I don't play violent video games...unless you consider things like Kingdom Hearts, Ace Attorney, Final Fantasy, and Harvest Moon to be violent??
