Cloud's Log: Day 10

 

Heya all again! It's Cloud, and this is my 10th log in the play thru!!! (party) Can't believe I wrote 10 of these, and people actually read them. Well, um... I got nothing whitty to say here, let's start....

 

Escape From the Castle Secret Base

So last time, I was saved by the unlikely renegades posed as desians, but they also want to capture me again. I am so confused. Why do they want me? D: (Even Lloyd comments on this). On the run, we dive further into the base, where we have to solve various puzzles, which revolve around moving blocks, powering things on, turning switches, and a lot of backtracking. My party does reach an agreement that the best plan of action would be to escape from Sylvarant and go into Tethe'alla, the hidden 2nd world. So... we go do that, but how?

Well, if we can cause a distortion or something, we can cross into the other world. To do that, we steal their flying jet machines of course! Apparently, everyone merges with Lloyd, and we hop on one I guess... Oh wait, nevermind, the next scene shows them all riding one. I guess Noishe was riding one off camera too. How does a weird furry rabbit dog pilot a jet machine anyways...?

So out party is shown escaping the base on flying machines, when shortly after, they run out of juice. Turns out they run on mana, and this world is almost out of it, soo... they fall to their death they crash down, but don't worry, everyone is okay!...Somehow... Oh yeah, when they fell, they fell into Tethe'alla, somehow. And Genis let out the most life threatening scream ever, when they fell.

Genis: Aaaaaaaaaauuuuuhhhhh..............????

 

Awakened In the New World

So, um, we're in the new world. Somehow.... It doesn't explain. We're just there! And we ditch the jet machines. Okay...? One of the most alerting new things in this new land are the new enemies! Yeah, they are so new, and... are recolor bad guys... I guess bears are white and rabbits are brown in this T world... And also, new music! It's actually really good. Aside from the beginning of the new battle song sounding like the opening to power rangers, it's pretty good.

Also, there are new continents. And, somehow noiche is with us, as he appears in a cutscene. How the hell did he get there...? Anyways, I explore this new world, finding the monument rock, a few cutscenes, and a house of guidance (not house of salvation). However, it doesn't have anything worthwhile there, and the inn  costs 600 gald. What the hell??? Even the next town's inn doesn't cost that much (but we'll get to that later). Church's here are cheapscates...

 

Megatokyo Meltokio, the Land of Riches AND Slums, Lator Gator Sheena, and Here Comes 2 New Challengers!

After some time exploring this new world, I finally find a town, Megatokyo Meltokio, a very rich looking area. This is where Sheena leaves the drop, but not without giving us a letter to give to the kind. So you dang well know we will make sure the king gets it... But first, I explored every nook and cranny of the town, talking to all the people and their dogs, and looking for all the good loot and wonder chef! Oddly enough, on the left side of town is the rich side, and on the right is the poor slum sides. Crazy how this place has both extremes in one city. I figured a rich town wouldn't even have a poor side...

Anyways, after I clean out the town, I meet Zelos, a pretty boy whose brain is located between his legs! O: He pretty much hits on anything that has T and V and treats the guys like trash. Anyways, zombie Colette bumps into him, which all of Zelos's floozies rag on Colette, while Zelos tries to hit on her (Ew, Colette is like...15 compared to this old man) Being a zombie of hurculan strength, she tosses Zelda Zelos, into the sky, in a slow, awkwardly mannor... Zelos can't be mad at anything with the Vagaygay, and even tries a move on Raine, which she copies Lloyd's "Give me your name, and I'll give you mine" line. (Good one Raine!) Then Zelos just leaves I guess...

So, the party tries to meet with the king, but the king is sick, and won't allow anyone to see him. The guards tell them to see the head priest, who might know what to do, and then the guard have a shift change... Okay..? With nothing else to do, we go to the church and talk to the priest, who said someone will take sacred wood to the king, which the party thinks "Hey, let's deliver that wood!" Then a cute girl with pink hair comes with said wood. She is tasked to deliver it, and Genis is infaturated with her, getting all shy and gittery, haha.

So we follow her and ask her to let us do her job. Now, let me say how stupid this plan is. "Hey, girl! You don't know us, but let us take that piece of wood to see the king! We have to save our friend! Please!?" Strangers who could be bad guys, or assassins? But sure, let's trust them. So Lloyd and Genis try to pick up the wood, but both are unable to lift it, which Presea, this new girl, can move it with ease. Lloyd then delivers one of the best lines in the game, something along the lines of their manhood being brought into question.

Presae lets us accompany her willingly somehow, we get in, and now we take her with us. Presea is really chill about going around with total strangers. Also, she has the same zombie look as Colette, so I guess she can't think rationally. Also, isn't it strange that a group of kids are just running around a castle? Kinda weird, doncha think. I would raise an eyebrow if I were a guard, but no one sure cares...

After some search, I break into the king's room, knocking out a guard (Nice first impressions Lloyd). We crash into a meet with the king, Zelos, and some other nobody people. We tell them we are from Sylvarant and we have a letter from Sheena, which the king takes, and makes us wait in a room.

After an hour, a guy and some soldiers come in, telling us they're going to kill us, since Colette's presence threatens their own world's being... (Sylvarent and Tethe'Alla fight for the mana distribution). Somehow Raine makes a deal to have them spare us and help us save Colette. And Zelos will join us to keep tabs on us. So with Zelos on our team, we make a truce and try to be friendly with each other, and Presea joins us, cuz... what else is she going to do...?

And then we leave Meltokio to carry our first task of crossing a bridge. But, we will do that next time...

 

It's the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend! See ya next time when we continue, and thanks for reading : D
