To my fellow Americans: Happy 4th! Remember to drive carefully if you're out late, people tend to start drinking later in the evening.

Favorite quotes from games I've played (No order, rhyme, or reason. I just think they're neat.)

"Don't worry ma'am. I know what the aliens like." -Sgt. Maj. Johnson, Halo 3 ODST

"I might be big, and not as strong as the other guys... but the one thing I'm not... IS WEAK!" -Murray, Sly 2

"The important thing is not how long you live... it's what you accomplish with your life." -Grovyle, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

"You're a slave to history. Even after Calamity, you fight against the only order that can guarantee the safety of your people. You, solely, are responsible for this." -Crimson 1, Project Wingman

"Raven. Let's meet this new age... together." -Ayre, Armored Core 6

"It took me a while, but I finally figured out that this isn't about me, about what I want. Not anymore. It's about keeping this city safe. And once you're dead, no one will ever threaten it again." -Cole Macgrath, Infamous.

"You think she's free? Now she has to live with her decisions." -Starkiller, Star Wars: Force Unleashed

Levi hadn't gone to bed yet, he was just finishing with packing his bag and stepped out of the shower into the empty house, due to his parents being out celebrating an anniversary, when the deafening BOOM echoed through the air. "What's going on now? Demons with glowing eyes falling from the sky?" He asked to the empty air sarcastically. He stood up from where he was seated and looked outside to see absolute pandemonium, people panicking as dark figures with glowing eyes did indeed start coming from the sky. "I don't know whether to blame myself for that one, or pat myself on the back for calling it..." He stated dryly, before remembering that his friends weren't the type to look a monster in the eyes and run the other way. He took a moment to change into something that wasn't a tank top and shorts, put on his shoes, fastened on his cassette player, and grabbed the first weapon he could find. If he knew his friends, they weren't just going to stand idly by. Which meant he had some butts to pull out of the fire.

As he left the house, he ran down the street, towards the beach. Between the shed where they met in case of emergencies, the raft, and the ship, it was probably the best chance that at least someone ended up running down there. While running by the docks in the town proper, he saw rowboats being capsized by dozens of these... things... jumping onto the sides and flipping the boats, taking whatever poor fool was trying to escape that way with them. A part of him desperately wanted to help, but it was silenced by his pragmatism. There were dozens of them, with their numbers growing by the second. He'd just be another person in need of saving if he tried that. Besides, he had his priorities. He had to make sure the others got out of this. He could worry about the bystanders once the people he was responsible for were accounted for.




Plink!

The sound behind Hoshi was distinct, like a baseball getting struck with a metal bat. Behind her, Levi was holding an aluminum baseball bat, having just hit this... whatever it was... flying back a good several yards. The creature just shuddered and turned to face them though, unbothered by the impact. They weren't bothered by his bat much, or by getting thrown into things for that matter, but at least they weren't too heavy, so they were easy enough to launch. A second dove at him, which he caught by holding his forearm straight out, and was rewarded by having it rake it's claws across his face before he tossed it away, leaving several bleeding red lines down his cheek and the side of his face that he didn't acknowledge.

Across his face wasn't rage, fear or pain, but absolute focus. He looked back at Hoshi, and spoke with that commanding tone he had only ever used outside of threatening people a handful of times. "You shouldn't have run off alone. We need to stick together, that's how we'll make it out." He stated with a serious and completely unbothered tone. He quickly stepped beside her, ready to assist, or fall in as needed. "We need to get up the beach. That's probably where the others are headed. Are you good to run, or do you need a lift?" He said, before an upwards swing caught the one he had initially struck, sending it away yet again with another loud Plink!
Full permission for someome to have Hoshi's back on this one.


On it.

Wondering if I should actually have Zac stay near the ship or maybe bring it around to the front of the island? On one hand, he wouldn't have any issues keeping the Heartless at bay until people can get there, but on the other hand, bringing the ship to everyone seems like the smarter play


Up to you. Both make sense in the context.
@Little Bird Beautiful post.

Does anyone want to post before I do my GM post of the Heartless taking over the world?


I'm good to go.
Just for the record, I plan on doing Levi's Dive into Heart after all the shenanigans on Destiny Island. So yes, he's going to be without a keyblade for his first run in with heartless.
Awesome. We want to just go one post at a time? Or do something on a collab?


Assuming this is for the sunset conversation? I'm alright with it, but I've never done a collab post before. I'm assuming that it'd be done in a Google Doc or something similar, though.
In before any more posts, but how are we feeling about a time skip? Gets the DI crew to the Paupu tree scene. Zac and Taivas can do their thing(s), and then we can get onto the good stuff.


I wouldn't be opposed, personally.
Levi smiled at the encouraging words from Lucian. He always had a gift for knowing just what to say, for knowing exactly how to quiet those small voices of doubt. When Lucian started to talk about his dream, it had defiantly peaked Levi's interest to say the least. He'd read a book or two on how dreams worked, and from how vividly he could describe it, and how it apparently wasn't a nightmare, Levi figured that was no normal dream.

"Well... I don't know what the young prince thing is about. But... if I'm remembering correctly from a book I read a bit back, dreams are where your conscious mind and subconscious mind can effectively communicate. So, if you were able to fight a manifestation of your doubts and fears, and win? That says a lot about you. They say courage isn't the absence of fear, but acting in spite of it. So, in a way, you could see that as... maybe some metaphorical representation of courage?" He said, only partially sure. He was going off of half-remembered information, and trying his best to help his friend with it.

"Then, of course, there's another notable part to that. You remember it, seemingly vividly. And, from what you told me, I'd call that more of a lucid dream than a nightmare. By what I know, you shouldn't be remembering it this vividly if it was just a normal dream. Which tells me... it wasn't." He seemed partially concerned. They knew magic was real now, so that could be anything. A vision? A message? There wasn't any way for either of them to know, as they didn't know nearly enough to tell.

"And hey. I'm heading out to watch the others backs anyways, so what's one more person? You at least, I don't have to hold back whenever someone implies that Hitsu's dead." He chuckled a little, then turned to look at the horizon as they continued to run.

"Other worlds, huh? Well... I'm sure I can come up with something to feed everyone's parents. I don't think they'll believe me, or let you all leave, if I just said that we're leaving to new worlds. I was offered a job on another island the other day, so maybe I could say I'm bringing you with me? Change of scenery being good for recovery and all that." He said, referencing the fact that most, himself included, figured that they were just refusing go let go after Hitsu's death. The change of scenery bit wasn't lying, at least. This way, if he's wrong than good. It means their friend is still alive. If he's right, if gives those two a chance to accept it. It'd be good for them either way. Plus, Morgan gets a chance to find out where she's from, and Taivas gets to go home. All of this assuming that Zac lets them board his vessel, of course. Seeing how relaxed he was with the whole 'falling from the sky' thing told him he'd be alright with taking a few passengers, though.

I'm down to roll with the five-man band of Alias, Hoshi, Levi, Morgan, and Lucien for the sunset convo. Everyone that constitutes the "DI crew."

Also, small nitpick, I know, but can we all post our color coding claims? Gotta find a color for Hoshi's dialogue that isn't taken. Lol


No problem with that.

Normally, sea-foam green. Top row, 7th column. For the tone he uses when he gets serious about something, dark red. Bottom row, first column.

82ca9d and 9e0b0f respectively.

That could work, yeah! :D What do you guys think?


I have no issues with it.
Levi clicked off his cassette player and took off his headphones as he noticed Lucian running up alongside him. He ran silently for a while more, letting Lucian finish his thought. “... Yeah… intense is definitely a word for it.” He chuckled slightly under his breath. “But hey, could be worse. We’re not all dead… yet. Depends on whether or not the concussed man back there accidentally fries his ship’s reactor as to if we stay that way, though.” He paused again, turning slightly as the beach did.

His feet kept kicking up the sand behind him, as he minded his pace a little more now that someone was running with him. He just stayed silent for the most part, not really knowing how to phrase his thoughts in a way that would make sense, without coming across as potentially demeaning. So, he opted to focus on running while the gears in his head whirred. He noted the cool breeze off the ocean, and the beautiful color contrast between the trees, the ocean, and the beach.

“... Magic being real is interesting. Not good or bad necessarily just... interesting. Not sure how I feel about other worlds, though.” He finally said, his legs starting to feel the burn as he kept going. That wasn’t much of a concern for him, they ran for maybe five miles before he had spoken again, and a full lap around this island was maybe twelve to fourteen. The only reason he was feeling it now was because he’d already ran a full lap earlier that morning. “I guess… I’m just a little worried about the others. You know them, they don’t always think things through. And around here, sure, that’s fine. Worst care they end up in swimming in the ocean, or in a sparring match they weren’t ready for. But out there, who knows what’s waiting?” He exhaled hard. Or, at least, harder than he already had been. That definitely wasn’t everything going through his mind, but it seemed he wasn’t comfortable sharing any other thoughts right now. It wasn’t because he didn’t feel he could share his thoughts with Lucian, moreso because he couldn’t find the right words to do so.

“So, how about you? What’s your take on this whole mess?” He offered Lucian a small smile.
