Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

I leave to play Dark Souls for a couple hours and I come back to... I don't know what any of this is. Start speaking American again goddammit!

What is that? It looks like a whole bunch of squiggly lines.

I was saying sorry for misusing the word 'irony'

@harinezumikouken

'Irony' is just one of those words that is best to avoid. I've met people who study English for a living and even they admit that they are not completely sure what the correct way to use the word is. Usually, if you're about to use the word in a sentence, it's best to instead use the word 'coincidence' or 'strangely.' 99.999% of the time one of those two are the correct word to use.

Yet ironically my wife is as pale as the moonlit night.

@harinezumikouken

Reminds me of the time I went to the public pool and scared two kids just by taking my shirt off. They literally began screaming for their mother to save them from the "vampire."

Robert Fallson - Deli N'Doul

Robert mostly just watched everything going on at the table. The large amount of people all surrounding a single table, no matter how large the table was, was a tad disorienting. It was amazing that in the large crowd he was able to make out a face, especially one that he barely knew. "Isn't that-" he thought aloud. The team leader of RVGD pulled out his Scroll and checked to be sure. "It sure is." The face he had seen was that of his new teammate who he had noticed been added automatically to his contact list as she was part of his team. "Vixi! Over here!"

If Vixi decided to join the rest of her team, Robert would be first to introduce himself. "Hey there. I recognized you from the team roster on my Scroll. My name's Robert and I'm your team leader." He would stick his hand forward to give the girl a friendly handshake as well.

There's quite a few people who haven't posted in a while so I'm making this post to see who's still here. @Pathfinder, @The Grey Dust, @Zendrelax, and @Skyrte. You still in this?

@Lucius Cypher - What's your interpretation of the black cat?

@harinezumikouken

My guess is it represents maybe an actual pet, the girl's family, or her friends that she's now neglected. I don't have any evidence to back up this theory though.

Let me have a crack at it.

This is a continuity video related to Me!Me!Me! So take that into account for this theory. The girl depicted is the eponymous "Meme" from the previous video, albeit we now see her from her "real" perspective. In this instance she comes across as a merely bored and unfulfilled highschool girl, who escapes into fantasy and imagination to get away from her frankly boring and repetitive life (escapism is a central theme here, as it is a prevalent theory of the boy from Me!Me!Me! As well).

That was that the first half is for. The second half begins with the apparent destruction of the girls "dream world" by introducing the man with the horse. Her knight in shining armor, the one who can make her dreams come true. Make that as you will. This turns Meme into the scantily clad magical idol of this video and the previous video, though in actuality she's merely a sex icon, one that both lures other girls into joining her (turning them into her flowers) and break the spirit of men (that trippy scene where the dude tears himself apart). But for the most part, Meme doesn't gain any enjoyment as her expression decipts. This isn't the fantasy she wants, merely the one she caters towards. She apathetic towards the feelings of other even those who rely and look up to her. She is still unfulfilled and bored.

The third part is short but conveys the final part of the video. The return of Hana and Shu (pink haired girl and big from the last video, respectively) they both fall scheme to Meme's thing; Hana joins Meme in the hopes of having and exciting life like her, and Shuffling becomes enraptured by her fantasies. However Meme knows the two personally and sees first hand just what she did to them, retrospectively at least. Shu gets addicted to the same fantasies and escapism, becoming the Otaku we all know. Hana joins Meme organization, whatever it is, becoming quite successful... but it tears the two apart, and Meme watches with regret that she tore away two happy people because she was just trying to find something meaningful in her life.

@Lucius Cypher

Now I'm even more interested in exactly what is being said in the lyrics. I know in ME!ME!ME! it was Hana's perspective on what Shu has become so I wonder exactly what this Meme girl is saying.

Hmm. Pretty good, though I think I like their ME!ME!ME! video more. (Totally not because of boobs.)
