(when you wish upon a star)
Diving for Sora, wheeee
oh screw this octoboss. screw your damage capacity. oh whee Gold Diver! o/
heeeee Sora gets an eye cover too and it covers the top bit of his hair that's pretty cute! …omg his necklace is lit up kyah kyah oh huh and on his disc!
"This outfit… hey, I know where I am!" heeeeeee. And chasing after a Recogniser we go! I'm sure this will end well.
oh god he's so excited and still faced with these masked black and orange guys. *face in hands* …oh my god they're about… twice his height? God. "Isolating for quarantine." "Whoa there! That is so unfriendly!" Oh, SORA. And dashing for it!
Oh hey, Sam, Quorra, and Flynn are watching us. Ahhhh Rinzler! D: Double disssssscs. (Quorra) "Look at that boy's weapon. It's something different." "But it's something you programmed, right, Dad?" eheheheh. Sora: "Program? Not me!"
Flynn: "You know Tron?" Hmm. Was it implied that the Tron in Space Paranoids was a copy, or…? *should really replay the earlier games* "I, uh… yeah. I've met him… and stuff." So elucidatory, Sora. …they didn't really fight… Rinzler just kind of stood there and then ran off for… reasons…
oh plot things
"Most of this is over my head, but… both Tron and this world do seem pretty different." Well, the Grid isn't as much of a pain to navigate as Space Paranoids, definitely.
…I don't think Sora understands what a 'source code' is, Flynn, but hey. We'll do what we can o/ though of course Sora doesn't know where he's going, ahaha. Whee, Quorra is coming with! Please be good to me. *_*
…is Quorra also twice Sora's height. Good grief.
"I have a feeling Sora is someone we can trust" haha thanks Flynn! (Oh, huh, reassurance from one side to the other mirrored.)
Solar Sailing again~ /o/ And… CLU has a data shot of Sora. Uhhh oh.
and out of time. Okay, let's go see how Prankster's Paradise is with Riku…
The dive's not too bad. Hit a lot of things, but… ^^;; Made Silver!
ahaha, blast from the past much? …wow this place is going to be a pain to navigate. Hmm, Gepetto doesn't recognise Riku… did he see Riku in KH1, actually? Hee, Jiminy! And… huh, he doesn't know Riku, and he definitely would have. "Wandered off with a stranger"? Ohhhhh no. And in a coat. Ohhhhhh nooooooo.
OHHHH HEEE Jiminy's coming with! kyah kyah oh Riku how will you handle this.
god screw trying to fight in the mouth I can hardly get up on things
…and that guy nudges Pinocchio towards us? Okay, th- WHAT
WHAT
WHAT
"That was my dark side. I gave in to the darkness once. And ever since, it's chased me around in one form or another." "Gee, Riku, don't you have a Jiminy like I do?" Jiminy: "You can't shoulder all your problems alone. You must have sombody- a friend you can talk to?" Riku: "Yeah… actually, I do." haha oh kids.
But if it is the Replica, he should damn well know better than to pull this shit or team up with Xehaclone or whatever. I am very disappointed.
And see, I don't quite get all this, because Chain of Memories… haaaaah.
Anyway. Back to Sora, and I am mildly lost. A little while later, and apparently Tron's source code isn't up here, assuming it's around at all. Rinzler turns up, and Quorra wants to fight, but Sora says he'll try to jog Rinzler's memory with a heart-to-heart. Quorra says programs don't have hearts and well maybe not the physical beating organ but… Oh my god Sora. Whee Matrix!Tron. And then Sora gets locked in, away from helping. Again, Xehaclone turns up, and WHAT IS HIS DEAL, SERIOUSLY. AND THEN XEMNAS WHAT. Seriously, why can't we beat these guys down for good.
And hey, this is the original copy! Wheeee. And Xemnas questions Sora's being, whether what he is is him. "My memories and feelings belong to me," Sora says, and I can't remember who else said this. Roxas? Ohhhh man.
Seriously can't we just erase these guys from all existence. I'd like that.
"Data does not dream, cannot dream" this jerk just opened the door! ohhhhh pretty view but LET'S NOT FALL OFF THAT WOULD BE NICE.
"Combatant 13 versus Rinzler" ohhhhh no. Oh god handing the Keyblade over doesn't work like that. So of course we're gonna try force. SIGH. But Quorra's okay, yay! And she thinks we might have gotten through to Tron before.
So uh we're fighting Rinzler! Who is a total ballet ninja or something, I want him and Hawk to have sparring matches now (I will never get this unless I get over being shy or… something I guess). And he keeps reversing the gravity, wow that's awkward. But I kept losing track of him anyway so not a huge difference…
Oh and then after we win there's a… flash or an overlay of KH2!Sora and I don't know how this works if he's the original but okay, Sora does a thing and apparently it works! Awesome. Except then CLU turns up to be a dick again, throws his disc at Sora, Tron intercepts but CLU's disc rebounds (what?) and takes out the floor underneath Tron so he falls down and Sora almost catches his outreached hand but like it was really going to work out that way, you bunch of dicks. :| I know things turned out more or less that way in the movie, but Tron is adorable and I want him to live, you did not have to do that. :| :| :| (…maybe I will pick up a Tron :|a.)
Anyway, Sora… makes a speech I've completely forgotten, finds his keyhole in the Arena, and that's a wrap for the Grid. Good job everyone! I… have no idea how this fits in with Riku's thing, but I'm okay with that.
Now we bounce back to Radiant Garden and the team, and Lea has found bugger all indicating where Isa and Braig might be. I am cool with not finding Braig, since he's bound to be a dick, but uh maybe Isa will be okay again. Or better than Saïx, Ienzo and Aeleus are being a lot nicer now that they've got their hearts again. Maybe Ienzo will not totally freak me out! (…though maybe he will still let's just… wait and see.)
…oh god, Lea, sweetie, I really don't think going outside is a great idea. At least find something other than the Organisation coat to wear, geez! Also YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING FOR THIS JOB, shut up. And I wanted to hear Ienzo's theory! Spoilsport.
Apparently reconstituted folks will return to where they lost their heart, which… does not explain why Braig and Isa aren't around, and is why Lea wants to go exploring. Also I think he's getting antsy. (…and the killing of the others can't be helping.)
Anyway! On we go, and diving into Prankster's Paradise with Sora. He's popping balloons, which… is kind of more of a challenge than you'd think, whoops.
And Sora gets to be on land! Awesome. I don't think I could really handle having to deal with Monstro's insides for both kids.
Jiminy is here, serving as our Door to Backstory! Sora is thrilled, but Jiminy doesn't recognise him. Apparently this is because he's basically part of the world's dream, because it imagined up the bits that haven't come back because the world isn't awake yet. So that explains why Gepetto and Jiminy don't recognise Riku, either. Jiminy recognises Sora's name, though, and then says "Oh, Pinocchio must have mentioned you!" And… he said something about a guy in a coat telling him to play a trick on Sora, which is the one truth out of everything he tells Jiminy. The Blue Fairy turns up with oboe music, kyah~
Jiminy decides to accompany Sora while looking for Pinocchio, and I wonder how Sora feels about having Jiminy along again.
…!!! A fake Pinocchio! The colours were wrong… and then Jiminy points out another Pinocchio who also obviously has the wrong colours. Sigh! Oh, well, we're not gonna advance the plot unless we go there. And we can grind the roller coaster ride, whee!
And then I found some rare boss frog and… I guess it has a time limit? I didn't beat it down, at any rate, it blew me a kiss and then vanished. :(
Then back to Riku. Lobster boss this time, whee. It scuttles around a lot, that's a pain. And it heads up to the roof, and then back, and you can flip, because god knows Monstro's insides weren't annoying enough already.
Sora, and- oh man, Pinocchio's got the ears. D: (I don't think he has them on the ship though, huh.) We fight too many Kooma Pandas for my liking (…on a trampoline, to boot- I didn't notice that much difference, though :|a), and Xehaclone turns up again. I don't like his face any more, not that I ever did really. And XEMNAS AGAIN, WHY. "My my, a hollow puppet that's managed to grow a heart." Oh god no. "But do not forget that you, yourself, are not so very different from us." Oh god nooooo. And uh Sora there was Roxas… man, probably Axel was talking about Roxas when he said that thing about Sora being partly one of them way back in CoM but… that's unfortunate, remembering it now…
eeee the Blue Fairy! "You must be Sora." Though uh I suspect this is bad. She's telling them about Gepetto. Wow, her wings are very transparent. Huh, she doesn't make much response to Sora saying he's going after them.
Augh, I keep getting frozen…
Walking on the ocean floor! Wow, you can kind of float here, that's neat. Also I am not gonna question how Sora's breathing, DISNEY MAGIC.
…god I don't wanna track down all the treasure chests…
And this thing froze Monstro! And we have to catch up when we've got Monstro in a bubble, wow he's unwieldy. Still, this is kind of neat! Though gotta make sure Monstro's bubble doesn't pop before we get him.
Monstro goes off, Sora manages not to get caught, and washes up on a beach. This feels like something that should have happened to Sora before, but I don't think it has. :|a
Hee, Donald's worried~ but Goofy's sure Riku'll look after him. Hee~ Mickey's concerned, too. And then Maleficent's raven turns up with Minnie's crown, WHAT. Minnie! D: And a letter. How did she kidnap Minnie? Anyway, those three are off. Yen Sid suspects trouble… Maleficent picking up on a change in the darkness between worlds.
And back to Traverse Town, yeeeeeees. /o/
…holy shit if the dreaming worlds are bringing back pieces of themselves…! Like I've said before, I do think the world in KH are sentient to an extent so. Evidence! Heeeeeee.
oh screw this octoboss. screw your damage capacity. oh whee Gold Diver! o/
heeeee Sora gets an eye cover too and it covers the top bit of his hair that's pretty cute! …omg his necklace is lit up kyah kyah oh huh and on his disc!

Oh hey, Sam, Quorra, and Flynn are watching us. Ahhhh Rinzler! D: Double disssssscs. (Quorra) "Look at that boy's weapon. It's something different." "But it's something you programmed, right, Dad?" eheheheh. Sora: "Program? Not me!"
