Densha

Alright, so in Kakori Village, I took on the Gurdurr quest, but canceled it after failing the fight too many times. However, if I walk near the cave where the event would trigger the fight, it still triggers, just without the sprites. (Conkeldurr does show up after certain dialogue.)

So, so! I was in a double wild battle in the sewers and at the beginning of the battle, I experimentally tossed a ball (Ultra Ball if I'm gonna be specific.) It did the default "You can't catch one when there's two!" message, but the ball was gone from my inventory, as if I had used it.

...levelled the entire continent. Larry...

Oh deeear. This is all I really do when I listen to music in the car: think of character themes! For a normal theme, it would probably be... ...something like this? Whimsical, but with sort of a weight to it. And battle themes, battle themes! Oh maaaan. Me and my weeaboo taste in music.

If I may! A plot spoiler for the veeeeery end of E15: I also agreed with Titania on this point, and refused to battle him, even though it was kind of a damn tough choice. But I will vouch for the other side and say Taka's in... a pretty tough spot. There's two likely outcomes of him running from his position as a Meteor Admin: 1. Solaris hunts him down. Literally. He's shown no qualms about murdering multiple people on multiple occasions, but since Taka is his son, he might not try to kill him. At the very least, though, there would be (probably really intense) repercussions for not doing his job AND embarrassing Solaris as a high-ranking member. This, however, is proooobably not the most likely of the two consequences, as having Solaris out of commission to hunt down his son is probably not an option at that point. 2. Taka is replaced by someone far less sympathetic like, say, Sirius. Without Taka, it wouldn't have been possible to progress and save Titania at the same time, and Amaria would either have been killed, or have succumbed to her wounds, if not held as another bargaining chip. Not to mention Taka letting you out of the cage if you refuse to fuel Fern's ego. So by removing Taka, that removes a huge asset for the protagonist. But, uh, this puts Taka at more emotional and physical risk, since it seems like the Meteor members are at least aware of his shenanigans. Wonderful outcomes for a stressful situation! But yeah, it's a shame you don't have time to have a looooong discussion with Taka. Dude needs a hug!

Ooh, to be honest? My pick has to be ManlyBadassHero. He was the first Let's Player I watched that stayed quiet for a lot of the time, and who actively speculated about game theories. Plus his voice is soothing as heck! I'm super glad that he got to do a collab with Cryaotic (another great Let's Player with a voice of gold...!) because he's not terribly big. Also chuggaaconroy is a physical ray of sunshine and I'm still in love with his Animal Crossing series! Not to say that every one he puts out isn't great either! It's just that the ACNL one makes me feel so relaxed.

That building, surprisingly, isn't where you need to go! Try exploring around and talking to everyone you see. Thankfully, the map is rather small, so it shouldn't be too long before you find the event that'll take you forward.

7:39pm, Central US time. I'm eating a dinner roll, dreading school and whining internally about my aching muscles.

Welcoooome to Reborn! Most folks think FMA is overrated but to be honest, it's popular for a pretty good reason! Aah, if you're willing to slip out of your comfort zone, The Tatami Galaxy is strange, but really good! It follows the unnamed main character through his college campus life as he tries out various clubs in various timelines and, in general, has a pretty bad time. Every episode is a new timeline with him joining a new club, and it's surprising how different the show can get from episode to episode. The concept builds up to a pretty satisfying finale in the last two episodes that definitely make the show into something special. I'm rambling! Here, the ED is super good. Hope you have a good stay!

*Slamming my fists on the table* Um-bre-on! Um-bre-on! UM-BRE-ON! UM-BRE-ON!! Mostly because I'm a sucker for lunar themes. Special mention goes to Jolteon, which I used on accident during my first XY run. Turns out Jolteon is a pretty good special sweeper for the main game! And it looks like fun to use in meta! Unlike Toxic Umbreon. Yuuuuck, that's vile.

Okay, to be honest... Zinnia's Theme. The instruments are so, so, so wonderful! It's so free-spirited that it makes me feel like I'm getting ready to fight in a vast field while the wind whistles by, whipping through my hair... chills, man, chills! Yikes, my brain chopped out the "battle" bit for a moment, apologies! What about the RSE Rival Theme, just for nostalgia's sake? That Slateport battle always got me BAD as a kid...

Hello, hello, helllooooo! Right! With that out of the way, I'm Densha, and I love to write and doodle! For the past few weeks, I've been throwing myself at Reborn, and I've managed to get near the end of the build with PULSE Swalot just baaaarely keeping me pinned down. I'll get it eventually, no worries. But yes! I've been wanting to write and art for Reborn because it's so great great great, and that'll come eventually, I think! Either way, it's nice to meet you all! I hope I'll be a pleasant member of the community!
