Mission Complete: Vacation.

Axel: As long as we remember each other, we'll never be apart. Got it memorised?
Roxas: Ha ha, wow, Axel. That sounded ridiculous.
Axel: What? I thought it was pretty deep.

Roxas: (reading) 'You can't train if you don't chain! Wanna rack up points? Then chain, chain, chain! No chain, no gain!' Okay... I think they want me to chain.

Roxas: I've never had a vacation before.
Axel: Is that right?
Roxas: What's my job during vacation?
Axel: What's your - Roxas, you're really missing the point.

Roxas: Let's see what's behind door number two...
Xaldin: Roxas! We have to keep a low profile, you fool! No more throwing doors open. I won't have it.

Roxas: Nice sofa.
Xaldin: No breaks, Roxas.
Roxas: No, I wasn't - I didn't mean - I was just saying...

Who translated this game? I am really enjoying all the dialogue.

On a less approving note: I have now gone on at least one mission with every regular Organization member (not counting Saïx and Xemnas, who I assume are too busy respectively being leaderish and shouting 'BLARGH HEARTS' at the sky to sneak past animated clocks with me) save Luxord. THIS ISN'T OKAY, DAYS. I DEMAND MORE LUXORD INTERACTION. At the moment he's just sitting in the Grey Area and describing everything in poker metaphors, which is hilarious but not enough.

(OH MY GOODNESS I ONLY JUST REALISED THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CALLING THE ROOM IN WHICH THE ORGANIZATION MEMBERS HANG OUT THE 'GREY AREA'

SHUT UP I'M SLOW.)


At the moment, I am reading The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. It's all very suspenseful and intriguing, but my mind is somewhat ruining the effect by picturing (spoiler, highlight to read) the girl as Xion (so far her primary characteristics are being silent, LIKE XION IN HER FIRST DAYS IN THE ORGANIZATION, and seeming emotionless, ALMOST AS IF SHE IS MISSING HER HEART) and Manchee as the dog from Up. And then there's the cassor, which is clearly Kevin. THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO: IT'S BASICALLY UP WITH NOBODIES.

ROXAS YOU DORK, HE'S IN LOVE WITH YOU!

Ahem.

I always find Roxas's name slightly confusing, because I've been to Roxas City, and keep wanting to use the Filipino pronunciation.

(Yes, there is a Roxas City - named after a different guy named Roxas.)

okay, your posts about this have done more to persuade me to finally finish KH1 than anything ever. I'M STUCK IN HALLOWEEN TOWN, ARRRGH! I have been advised to skip it, read up on the story and then just move to KH2. Is this advisable?

I just finished reading the Knife of Never Letting Go! I enjoyed it a lot and OH LORD YES MANCHEE IS DUG. This is exactly what I had in my head too. I haven't gotten around to buying the next in the series yet due to too much irreverent spending recently, but I really want it.

WHERE IS THE ASSLESS FREAK? I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, RIONA.

Ahaha, you might finally understand why my dialogue for Luxord in that KH/DGM crossover had him continuously making bad game related puns. IT'S THE ONLY TRAIT FOR HIS DIALOGUE THAT I PICKED UP.

it's basically Up with some nobodies

;A; i want this. So badly. Also, yes, the interaction between Axel and Roxas is adorable and it makes my heart squeek (I have this game also, I've just not been able to play it so much because I'm stuck on a side-mission and I cannot complete a game until I COMPLETE EVERYTHING. And I mean EVERYTHING. I am very pedantic in that sense :/)

This is my very favorite. I've never played the game, but just reading your posts about it sort of explains t me why so many people ADORE it and the characters.
