…oh my god Sora’s sassing Joshua. *____*
The teams aren’t back in Shibuya because they’re… still playing the Reaper’s Game, apparently. Okay. Okay, cool. This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but I’ll accept it. Apparently there’s a big Dream Eater that can produce a hundred more of itself the Players need to take down, so we’re gonna go help Shiki and Neku /o/. Neku and Sora have an argument over whether Sora can help, and Shiki has trouble getting out of the fountain. Can… can someone lend her a hand, please, I’m worried about her breathing.
Sora: But you should have seen him! He looked everywhere for you
And Neku is just going NO NO SORA STOP YOU’RE RUINING MY REPUTATION haha oh Neku so cute. Shiki thinks it’s sweet. Hee, Shiki! ♥
Joshua turns up to tell us the Dream Eater’s gone to the other imagining of this world, and we need to trap it in the Third District. Everyone takes off, and then Neku stops to ask if they’re really going to make it back. “But I thought you couldn’t afford to lose. Give up on yourself, and you give up on the world,” says Joshua. Kiiiids. I still… don’t like Joshua that much, but he appears to be less of a complete arsehole here. Please don’t prove me wrong. “So I’ll see you there?” Neku says, and Joshua looks surprised by this. Oh KIDS.
…Neku stop obscuring your smile, you’re cute when you smile.
Shh, Joshua, it’s a two-way connection, Neku and Sora are influencing each other.
Hmmmm let’s try and buy some stuff to make Spirits… is the one that looks like a weird screaming Glaceon the owl one? …oooohh I got a helicoptering bunny! I’m gonna call it Mimi. Oooh star rank salamander~ …oh god the Jesterbocky’s disposition changed to Flake. *FACE IN HANDS*
Ohh, Joshua’s doing his stand on things thing and… hmm this looks like the portal! Neaaaat. And Neku and Shiki are gonna take care of the small fry and- JESUS CHRIST WHY ARE PREVIOUS BOSSES COMING BACK FUCK THIS BOSS.
…! Another keyhole! And then the boss goes through it SCREW YOU SPELLICAN.
“Did we fail the mission?” asks Shiki. Sora offers to go after it- “I’m not an actual player, so I can bend the rules, right?” and I think Neku’s surprised, he doesn’t react as much as the other two.
“You’ve changed,” Shiki says. “Huh? You think?” says Neku. “Yeah, you’re less dorky,” says Shiki. I beg to differ, but okay!
ahhhhh and then Shiki says see you in our town and they all put their hands together though Joshua is slower to do so and omg kiiiiiiids I. I can’t. *_____*
Riku questions coming back to Traverse, and notices Joshua straight off. Joshua tells Riku about the Dream Eater. “I was under the impression they were parallel worlds, but it looks like I was wrong.” Time flowing weird between the two Traverse Towns, huh. And this means they’re not parallel, and completely separate. …uh.
“It’s like the same world, imagined by two different people. It’s like we’re in…” “A dream.” “Yes. Bravo again, Riku.” Joshua looks cranky here. “In which case none of this may matter one bit to me or my friends.” Oh is this why he was so weird with Sora and Neku and Shiki.
…oh shut up, Joshua, that’s where you said Beat and Rhyme went to fight. (…but that is a parallel. Okay then.)
and again, the light puck! Heee. Oh my god, Beat, just accept help.
…Rhyme is this really the time
GUYS THERE’S STILL A DREAM EATER THERE
“garnish my reputation” oh Beat. Riku laughs!
…were we deliberately ignoring it. I. What.
Fighting a rhino herd oh god or triceratops? Okay. They’re not THAT hard really.
Oh and then Joshua appears and tells Riku we’re gonna pin the Dream Eater in Third, and I don’t know why Riku has to go around the long way, but he does. More exp for me.
Then the Dream Eater drops off to Sora’s side. Joshua uses Beat’s full name (after dropping off a roof, it ain’t no thing), and he bwahs, oh, Beat.
“If this is a dream, it’ll like to you, to make you think it’s real.” Huh… okay, I think Aerith said something like that in the Traverse Town of Castle Oblivion. :|a
Anyway, Riku’s off, and it looks like we’re detouring to Donald and Goofy and Mickey and Pete. Donald calls Pete a thug, he takes it as a compliment. “We all got a role to play, right?” I side-eye everyone.
…why in the worlds are Maleficent and Pete IN DISNEY CASTLE, WHAT. I did kind of figure, since they’ve got Minnie, but WHAT.
No one gets to insult my minions but me, says Maleficent.
…oh for… just GIVE UP already, we’re just going to beat you down. Can we take Maleficent out for good, too? Please?
…oh Pete’s holding Minnie. … wow this plan sure is super.
Minniiiiie OH DON’T GIVE HER WHAT SHE WANTS Mickey I will be so disappointed
… … blah blah DON’T CARE SHUT UP AND SUFFER
…she says something about the ‘data’ of all worlds. Uh yeah I’m sure this will go well. Apparently this is to do with Re:Coded. Uh.
And then Maleficent fires green fire at them (HOW IS THAT HELPING I DON’T… WHATEVER) and HOLY SHIT CHAKRAMS :O! And Minnie is a badass, SHE JUST NEEDED THE OPPORTUNITY. Go Minnie!
(kyah kyah Minnie and Mickey ♥)
…but Maleficent swears to come back and appears to almost leave Pete behind or something?
And now he actually shows up. Mickey is… less surprised than I’d have expected! Okay then. Mickey calls him Axel, and he says he’s Lea now, cool. …and he definitely doesn’t have the eyedrop tatts. So what was with them in the first place…?
*reads the Chronicle* …how do you destroy a Keyblade!? Even a data Keyblade? Oh, so this leads in to the letter? All… righty then. (so we are getting back Aqua and Ven and Terra for definite? *_*)
Let’s roll on! On to Musketeering, eeeeeeee.
