Well, given that the... shit... is probably about to hit the fan here, and that we have a lot of new people around, I'd just like to reiterate that the fortress in the middle of the Gardens is open to just about anyone in the event that we get another attack by B-movie versions of Valentine's Day crap

[Zenobia has her arms and legs back, and is thus the happiest person ever today, despite this stuff with the queen.]

Maybe if people start hooking up and proclaiming love to each other, the queen would calm down and nothing bad will happen.

...Oh, and what's a "Bulbasaur?" Oh, is it that creature you had with you when we met at the Ferris Wheel?

Re: [Video]

[notvitiligo]

Yeah, that's her.

[And the top of a little green head comes into frame.] Bulbasaur!

[Jessica pats it indulgently] Yeah, that's... not really likely. This place has a habit of punishing everyone for individual problems.

Though I guess you have a point that maybe we could... lessen the problems by going along with it... [She looks down, focused inward]

Oh! I've seen a Bulbasaur head before during a different time, too! ... ... ... [Um, thinking about it, maybe she should change the topic really quick.] Um, yeah! I'm not saying that people should hook up whether they want to or not, I'm just saying that people who already like each other could get together, and then maybe have a dance or a parade or something to show the queen that we are trying.

Re: [Video]

[notvitiligo]

...head?

[Her lip quirks] Would you say maybe a parade to show how proud they are about being together with another girl?

[Of course, Zenobia probably does not get that, but still!]

Bulbasaur, saur! [Vines spring up and wrap around Jessica's neck and shoulders]

[mnementomori]

I think we'll be okay...Roxas and I can fight. We'll protect Sora if anything happens. But I'll remember that.

[notvitiligo]

Good to hear. But, y'know, just in case things get a little too hairy...

[mnementomori]

[she nods.]

I'll know where to go.

[notvitiligo]

Got plenty of room and, um, healing items and all, in case you guys run out or whatever. [Jessica: Not sure how this stuff works.]

[no_hometown]

[Sephiroth is even more linefaced than usual after her brief juvenile period.]

I agree that we should be be especially watchful following the Queen's tirade. If I am needed, call for me on the Vine, and I will arrive shortly.

I am unsure of what the departure of the stars from the sky might mean. According to your timeline, there were once too many stars and people wished on them to make them fall. I wonder how this might be related and what the significance of the stars is.

[notvitiligo]

[Jessica is not going to pursue the subject. For now.]

Thanks. I have no idea what to expect, but if she's mad, there's definitely gonna be trouble.

I couldn't really say... we'll probably get some more information once whatever's going down, um... goes down. I know, I'm really helpful here.

[no_hometown]

Yes, judging by past events, that's a fair hypothesis. I'll inform you immediately if I see anything unusual.

[She nods.] It is something to consider, but I don't believe we have enough information to formulate a theory.

[notvitiligo]

I knew the relative sanity of the last month was too good to be true.

If anything, it might at least give us some more clues about how this place works.

[nohorsingaround]

How strong would you suggest this fortress to be while under attack? Such a stronghold is unnecessary for my comrades and myself, given our exceptional strength and natural skill in battle, but I am curious nevertheless.

[notvitiligo]

It'd depend on the attack, really, but I designed it to hold up to most of the stuff I expect this place to throw at us. I guess if we get, say, Evil Mirror Universe Sephiroth or something, we're sitting ducks, but I'm pretty sure that it'll stand up against most monsters.

If you have any suggestions or something, I'd be happy to hear them. I like making sure my fragile human bits don't get turned into bloody chunks.

[nohorsingaround]

Naturally I would expect a fortress of such magnitude to possess outstanding weapons capable of slaying enemies on the outside.

[notvitiligo]

Weapons are kind of hard to do here, and not exactly my thing. I'm more relying on some of you soldier types to help out. Though I do have Epsilon and a Bulbasaur. Not quite "outstanding weapons," but the idea here is more "keep the wusses safe while the badasses go around slaying the enemies."

I figure, if there's something the people here can't deal with, we're all screwed anyway.

[soapscent]

I can take care of myself, but I'll keep it in mind.

[notvitiligo]

We also have stuff in case anyone gets injured, so yeah. You don't have to bleed all over or anything.

[soapscent]

Also probably not a concern. I can sew myself up pretty easily. It's kind-of my superpower.

[notvitiligo]

Wow, OK. That's useful.
