~Triskelion (aka The J.I.A. Headquarters)~ As Dr. Johann Fennhoff was heading to his office while carrying a cup of coffee, he noticed Castiel heading to his office as well for his regularly scheduled therapy session. "Good morning, Castiel!" Fennhoff greeted the J.I.A. agent with his thick Russian accent, "Right on time. How you are you today?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hino Family Shrine~ "Hey everyone, I made pound cake for each one of you!" Grandpa Hino told the girls as he gestured to a plate that Chad was holding containing eight slices of pound cake, "Don't be shy, try a piece!" "Piplup," Chad concurred, nodding in agreement with Grandpa. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School: Security Office~ Entering the security office, Saïx found Mike and Jeremy confused about something, but didn't really care. "Listen you two, I've got somewhere to go for the day," the head of security told the two, "So if you need anything, just text me. Understood?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Nintendo High School Dorms: Akiza and Sunset Shimmer's Dorm~ After having taken a shower, Sunset Shimmer exited from the bathroom, noticing Akiza having left. "Must be in a rush," Sunset said to herself as she went to grab her gloves from her table, which she had been wearing ever since joining the Crystal Order to cover the group's logo on her right hand. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Beat's and Rhyme's House~ "Yeah yeah, I'm comin'!" Beat said as he rushed to the door after hearing the doorbell ring. Opening it, Beat found Joshua standing at the entrance carrying a warm cup of espresso from Starbucks... "Hey Beat, ready to go?" Joshua asked. "Jus' gotta finish breakfast," Beat replied, "I'm almost done. Come in if ya want." "Thank you," Joshua said as he entered and took a seat in a couch in the living room. "So, how's it been, man?" Beat asked Joshua as he finished his toast and made sure he didn't forget anything in his backpack. "Oh, same old, same old," Joshua replied, "Although, Megumi's been acting rather strange ever since Tuesday. No idea why. Not even Sho knows what's up with him." "Huh, weird," Beat commented as he was ready to leave. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tsukino Household~ "Hmph, guess she won't be eating with us," Rini commented as Serena left in a hurry. "I do wish she'd let me know about her plans beforehand," Ikuko added. "Eh, go easy on her, dear," Kenji replied, "We were both teenagers once." Sighing, Ikuko said, "I suppose." Once Sammy and Rini finished their breakfast, the two headed for the door. "Bye Mom! Bye Dad!" Sammy said. "See you later!" Rini added. "Kids, wait... don't you need a ride?" Kenji asked. "It's fine, Dad," Sammy replied, "I can take Rini to Ms. Jessebelle." "Sammy's right, everything'll be alright, Uncle Kenji," Rini added. "Okay, if you say so. Have fun at school," Kenji replied as Sammy and Rini left. "Well, there she goes," Ikuko commented. "Yup," Kenji replied, "And I'm sure we'll do a great job with her as we did with Serena and Sammy." "Still, it breaks my heart to know that she lost her parents at such a young age," Ikuko said. "I know the feeling, dear," Kenji replied, "But the important thing is that we're there for her." "Yes, I suppose you're right," Ikuko said. "Anyway, changing topics, look at this," Kenji replied as he showed Ikuko an article in the newspaper relating to the Muppet telethon scheduled for tonight. "Muppet... telethon... tonight!" Ikuko said with a high sense of nostalgia as she read the article. "Yup, apparently they're trying to raise enough money to save their theater here in Tokyo," Kenji replied. "Well, then I'll set the DVR," Ikuko said. "And I'll get some popcorn on my way back from work," Kenji replied, "Tonight is going to be a nostalgia-filled night for the two of us." "Oh, it'll bring back great childhood memories of watching Kermit and the others perform," Ikuko commented. "Indeed," Kenji replied as he got up to leave, "See you later, honey." "Bye dear," Ikuko said as Kenji left for work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Crystal Order HQ: Rassilon's Office~ Spoiler: BGM Just as Discord teleported away, Javert entered Rassilon's office after hearing the commotion from inside... "I take it Discord wasn't happy with the mission?" Javert asked. "Indeed," Rassilon replied, "To be honest, I'll be pleasantly surprised if he actually did as he was ordered. But if he doesn't, as I predict, then you know what needs to be done, Javert." "Yes, my master," Javert said, knowing what his mission for the day was. "Make it count," Rassilon replied as Javert left for his mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo's Hell's Kitchen District - Matt Murdock's Apartment~ "Morning, Harold," Matt greeted the wizard as Foggy carried two plates of scrambled eggs for Matt and Harold while still wearing his white chef hat. "Oshawott," Foggy said as he placed the two plates in the table in front of Matt and Harold before running back to the kitchen and grabbing his own plate of scrambled eggs for him to eat. "Thanks, Fog," Matt thanked his Pokemon as he started eating his breakfast, "Well... today's the day. Now or never." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Alleyway in Tokyo's Chinatown~ Shay and Starlight Glimmer were waiting with Quan Chi for another member of the Crystal Order to arrive and help with the search for Shinnok's amulet. After waiting for a while, Shay noticed fellow Crystal Order member, Jadeite, teleport to the the alleyway he and the others were in... "Jadeite, good to see you this morning," Cormac greeted Jadeite. "Greetings, Shay," Jadeite replied, "Apologies for being late, but I had some important matters to deal with. So, this is the Quan Chi I've heard much about?" "Yes, the one whose master needs our help to locate a certain amulet," Starlight Glimmer answered. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Sidewalk in Porta Vista, Japan~ Ever since arguing with Pacha and finding out Yzma wanted to kill him, Kuzco didn't feel like going back to his old life, feeling immense guilt for his actions. Thus, he instead came back to his hometown of Porta Vista, living in the streets, and has been doing so since Tuesday night. "God bless," Kuzco said whenever people passing by dropped some money into an empty cup next to him. Counting the money he had in the cup, Kuzco sighed, commenting, "Great, maybe I can get a meal this time." Looking to his left, Kuzco noticed a homeless man and his daughter desperately in need of money, just like Kuzco. Figuring out they needed the money more than him, Kuzco walked over to the man and his daughter, handing them his cup with money, saying, "Hey, take this. You probably need it more than I do." "Oh, thank you so much," the man replied as his daughter started counting the money inside. "Don't mention it, bud," Kuzco said as he started walking away, "Now to find another empty cup." 'Man, the homelessness here is so bad... can't believe I never even thought of doing something about it while I was in parliament,' Kuzco thought to himself. Suddenly, the llama started hearing a familiar voice coming from one of the benches near the beach. Walking towards the voice, Kuzco heard the voice say, "... so there we were, having finally got out of the quicksand, and then you started to charge towards us." Once Kuzco arrived at the source of the voice, he noticed it was Pacha, talking with the Tauros he captured days ago... "And before I knew it, he pushed me out of harm's way. Do you believe that?" Pacha continued, "You know, call me crazy for tracking this guy all the way out here... but as much as he tries to deny it, I know there's some good in him. Besides, I couldn't just leave him out here all alone. He's a lousy llama. I mean, a really lousy llama." Once Pacha finished with his story, he and Kuzco noticed each other, and the two smiled at one another. Walking towards Pacha, Kuzco was so happy to see Pacha once again that he was confused at what to say to him. "Hey, listen, Pacha, you know..." Kuzco started to speak, trying to apologize for the things he said the last time he saw Pacha, "What I said to you back at... that-that... I-I didn't really..." Before Kuzco could continue, Pacha held up his hand, indicating Kuzco didn't need to apologize, and simply asked, "So, you tired of being a llama?" "YEEESSSS!!!" Kuzco cried as his eyes teared up. --------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Teacher's Lounge~ Spoiler: BGM As Rose Tyler was drinking her coffee, John Smith walked towards her, with Rose saying, "Why hello there, Mr. Smith." "Good morning, Miss Tyler," Smith replied, "So, how have things been for you at Nintendo High?" "Lovely, though it's a shame a former teacher had to die the day I joined," Rose answered, "Did you know him?" "Galuf? Oh yeah," John replied, "He was my Modern History instructor when I was a student here. Still can't believe he's gone." "I know the feeling," Rose said, "My father died when I was just a baby. The only memories I have of him are what my mum told me of him... how he was a great man who loved his wife and daughter. I may have not known Galuf, but like my father, I can tell that he was loved, and it is heartbreaking for Nintendo High School to lose a member of its family." Smiling, John nodded, commenting, "It certainly is." Getting up, John was about to walk to another group when he noticed Phil Coulson looking at him, motioning his head as a signal for John to do what he intended to do. Getting the message from Phil, Smith turned around, asking Rose, "Rose, umm... are you doing anything tonight?" Surprised by Smith's question, Rose replied, "No, why?" "Well, if you're free... I would like to take you to this great seafood restaurant by the harbor," John replied, "Only if it's alright with you." Smiling, Rose said, "Sure, why not?" "Okay then..." John replied, surprised that he finally asked Rose out for dinner. "It's a date," Rose said as she went back to drinking coffee while Smith was nodding, walking to a chair and sitting down. "Wow, you did it," Axel told John as he, Eraqus, and Moody joined the English instructor. "Heh, I think this calls for a celebration," Moody added as he was patting John Smith's back. "Not today, guys," Smith replied, "I'm going to be busy." "I agree. Let's give the man his space," Eraqus commented. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Flower Shop~ "Thank you, my dear," an old man said after purchasing sunflowers from Aerith. As he left, Officer Carter and Inspector Lee entered the flower shop, with Carter carrying a bouquet he himself made from roses he bought from Aerith for the past couple of days... "Mornin' Aerith," Carter said as he entered, "Look what I made ya." Placing the bouquet in front of her, Carter continued, "Guess now ya know why I bought all dem roses for da past few days."
So if there are gonna be two winners, then congrats to both FF and whoever posts before this thread is locked. Gotta get some sleep after a 9 hour drive from New Orleans.
I thought it was agreed the winner would be whoever posted the 5000th post. Either way, I'd love to have a barbecue.
Well I was referring to whoever posted after me... which is you. Congratulations Number 5000. You win!
Would the LP2P XI winner please rise...
You guys are close! FINISH IT!
Wow, it's almost gonna happen... about time. Hopefully it'll be dead for good by the time I get home.
Game has now launched in Japanese arcades, and another confirmed character has been added: Blaziken (Mega Evolution included): Blaziken will be added in an update next month. Source
IIRC, her involvement with KH2 wasn't confirmed until a few months before the game's release. So unless KH3 is releasing by the end of this year (which it's not), I really can't see any sort of confirmation being made. Besides, she has only just recently came out of her long hiatus. I can't see them making a deal with her that quick.
Re: Mario's High School Days Current Day is now: Friday, September 6, 2013 (3 Days Since Previous Day) --------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Route 6 (Outside Porta Vista) - 3:00 a.m.~ It was three in the morning, with the entire wilderness quiet. Kronk and Yzma were sleeping for the night, still continuing their search for Kuzco, something the two have been doing since Tuesday with no luck. While Yzma comfortably slept in a tent, Kronk was stuck sleeping outside, snoring while he held on to his teddy bear. As he slept, Kronk was dreaming of the familiar man he met at Mudka's Meat Hut, trying to remember if he ever saw him before. Once he remembered something about him, Kronk immediately got up. "The man, at the restaurant..." Kronk told his teddy bear, "... he didn't pay his check." Realizing it was just a trivial thing, Kronk went back to sleep, until he remembered something that happened a week ago when he was trying to figure out what to do with Kuzco. "He's the man who I saw leaving Denny's when I was wondering what to do with Kuzco that night!" Kronk said to himself as he got up once again. Gasping as he realized where Kuzco might be, Kronk continued, "I must've put Kuzco on top of his car, with the man taking him back to his home without noticing. So if we find out where he lives, we find him. And if we find him, we find Kuzco. Well, doesn't look like I'll be attending Cousin Keith's Medal of Honor ceremony today, but at least we finally got a lead." And then the following happened: Spoiler: Actual HSD Footage -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo University Dorms: Hiro Hamada's Dorm~ Waking up to the sound of his alarm clock, Hiro Hamada got up from his bed, and noticed his robotic personal healthcare companion, Baymax, standing right next to him. "Good morning, Hiro," Baymax greeted Hiro, "Are you currently feeling any pain?" Yawning, Hiro suddenly remembered about the event later today involving the J.I.A. "Wait, Baymax... what's today?" Hiro asked. "Friday, September 6th, 2013," Baymax replied, "Weather forecast indicates a bright sunny day, a great day fo-" "Yeah yeah, that's great Baymax," Hiro interrupted Baymax as he quickly got out of his bed, and opened his closet. Inside was a trashcan containing thousands of tiny microbots Hiro and Baymax have been designing for the past two days. "Today's the day, Baymax," Hiro told Baymax, "I've gotta make a good impression if I want that internship with the J.I.A." "Have you memorized the speech you've prepared?" Baymax asked. "Yup, word for word," Hiro answered, "But, first thing's first... gotta get ready for Callaghan's class." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School Dorms: Xehanort and Hiccup's Dorm~ While Toothless ate his breakfast in the balcony, Hiccup prepared waffles for himself and Xehanort, placing them on the dining table, where Xehanort was fixated on the Secrets of the Heart book he borrowed from the library back on Tuesday, silently reading it. "Guess you really like that book," Hiccup commented as he sat down to start eating breakfast. "What can I say? It's very... informative," Xehanort replied. "Although, the author... Souichi Tomoe... from what I heard, is a big loon," Hiccup commented, "'Nutjob of Tokyo University' is what they call him." "Yes, I know the stories," Xehanort replied as he took a bit of his waffle while continuing reading, "But reading this book, I believe there's more to him than meets the eye. Which is why I plan to go see him after-school over at Tokyo University. I have a few questions about what he wrote." "Well, uh, good luck with that," Hiccup said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Connor's Home~ "Morning, Achilles," Connor said as he stepped out of his room, yawning as he noticed Achilles preparing breakfast, "What's for breakfast?" "Grits," Achilles replied. "Again? That's the third time this week," Connor said as he sat in the dining table. "Take it or leave it, boy," Achilles replied as he placed a plate full of grits in front of Connor. Sighing, Connor started eating his breakfast while Achilles said, "Just to remind you, I might be late today." "I know. Jury duty," Connor replied. Achilles had received a notice for him to serve jury duty about two months ago, and today was the day. "Yes, I just hope whatever trial I have to sit through doesn't bore me to death," Achilles said as he said down and ate his breakfast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Thor's and Loki's Home~ Waking up to the sound of his alarm clock, a shirtless Thor slowly got up from his bed, and stretched a bit before doing a few push-ups on the floor. "Morning, brother," Loki said as he entered Thor's room... "Morning, Loki," Thor replied as he continued doing push-ups. Noticing Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, on his desk, Loki asked, "Still haven't told Mother and Father about your new powers yet?" "It can wait," Thor answered as he stopped with his push-ups, and put on a shirt. "You know you're going to have to tell them eventually," Loki said, "Sooner or later, they'll catch you flying or summoning your hammer." Sighing as he packed his backpack, Thor replied, "It's not that simple to just surprise them one day and tell them I'm a Conduit. I understand that I have to tell them, I just haven't been able to figure out how." "I can help," Loki suggested, "Tonight at dinner, you and me. You don't need to do this alone." Smiling, Thor replied, "Thank you, Loki." "No need to thank me," Loki said, "Now hurry up so we can finish breakfast and get Luna." Nodding, Thor finished packing, and went with Loki to the kitchen for some breakfast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hotel Lounge~ "So, what'll happen after the trial?" Olaf asked Hans, who was eating breakfast. "Well, regardless of what happens, I hope to focus once again on my proposal to Anna," Hans replied. "Oh right! We haven't been talking about that since... you-know-what," Olaf said. "Yeah," Hans replied, "Anyway, I'm sure the justice system will decide the fate of Mr. Flamel fairly." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tex Richman's Tokyo Penthouse~ Watching the Tokyo skyline from his window, a lot was on Tex Richman's mind. Tonight was the scheduled Muppet telethon to save the Muppets' Tokyo theater from being bought by Richman. And if Richman fails in preventing the theater from going back to Muppet hands, it would be a loss for his brotherhood. What was worse for the oil magnate was that his own ex-girlfriend was helping the Muppets. Richman's main focus now was trying to find out who was it that convinced the Muppets to get back together and try to save the theater. Hearing his fax machine printing something, Tex walked over to it, wondering what was being sent to him. Grabbing what was printed, Richman noticed that his sources have identified the individuals who united the Muppets, with the identities of Clemont, Bonnie, Sweetie Belle, and Pipsqueak listed on the piece of paper he was holding. 'Well, well, well... this is interesting,' Tex thought to himself as he read the details on each of the four. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Tokyo's Hell's Kitchen District - Matt Murdock's Apartment~ It was the morning of trial day for Harold Flamel, which Matt had been preparing for the past two days. Sitting on the couch and listening to the news from CNN on TV, Murdock drank some coffee while Foggy was in the kitchen, humming as he was making scrambled eggs for Matt, Harold, and himself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Hospital - Room 616~ As Nurse Temple was checking on Jumpman, Ruiji, and Fujiko, Doctor Hu entered the room to see how the three were doing... "Morning!" Hu said as he entered the room, "And how are they doing, Claire?" "Everything looks good," Claire replied, "Still a few fractures, but nothing serious. Gotta go get some more IV." "Fantastic," Doctor Hu commented, "Guess I can have you three out of here by noon." As Claire left the room to get some more IV, Doctor Hu asked, "I'm sure the boys'll be happy that you're coming back home, eh?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Tsukino Household~ "Kids, breakfast time!" Ikuko called out to Sammy, Rini, and Serena from the kitchen as she prepared three bowls of cereal for them while her husband, Kenji, sat at the table, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. Sammy and Rini (with Luna-P flying by her side) then quickly rushed to the dining table while carrying their backpacks... "Morning everyone!" Rini said as he sat down to eat her breakfast. "Good morning, Rini," Ikuko replied, "Ready for school?" Rini nodded in reply, feeling both excited and nervous about starting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Nintendo High School: Teacher's Lounge~ It had been a somber three days for Nintendo High School. News of former teacher Galuf's death hit the members of the faculty who knew him pretty hard. Even those who never met him joined the rest of the staff in wearing black ribbons on their shirts in Galuf's honor. The teacher's lounge has since been very quiet, with very little talking between members of the faculty. John Smith was silently sitting in a chair, watching Rose Tyler pour some coffee in a paper cup. "John," Phil Coulson greeted him as he took a seat next to Smith. "Phil," John greeted him back. "How have you been dealing with it?" Coulson asked. "Same as everyone else," Smith replied, "Everyone deals with it in their own way. My mother cried for hours when she heard. But... we have to move on. That's what Galuf would've wanted." Noticing John looking at Rose, Phil asked, "Are you and Miss Tyler... umm...?" "Oh no," Smith quickly replied, "Actually, she was asked out by Dante when she first came, to which she said she'll think about it. But then, when the news about Galuf came... it was all forgotten." Thinking about it for a moment, Coulson said, "You want my advice, John? Go for it, before you regret not having tried." "I'm starting to think you had a similar problem before," Smith commented. "Audrey Nathan, was her name," Coulson replied, smiling, "American. Portland, Oregon to be exact. A cellist in the Portland Symphony Orchestra. She was once performing here in Tokyo. And she was amazing with what she did. I got to talk to her after the show, invited her to dinner. She gave me her phone number to call her if she ever passes by Tokyo again. But... part of me felt that I would be a burden, preventing her from doing what she loved. And that was the last time I ever saw her. Now I feel stupid for not at least trying. Maybe it would've worked out, maybe it wouldn't. Who knows. But the mistake was not trying." Smith silently pondered what Coulson said to him, feeling bad for him, and at the same time, worrying he might make the same mistake as him. "Think about it," Coulson said as he got up and walked towards other members of the faculty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Crystal Order HQ: Rassilon's Office~ Spoiler: BGM Having called Discord into his office, Rassilon sat in his chair, waiting patiently for a few minutes, until Discord finally arrived... "Ah, Discord, there you are..." the Crystal Order's No. 3 greeted Discord, "I want to ask you a question. Are you enjoying your missions in being Allice Elliot's friend?" "As a matter of fact, yes," Discord replied, "Now I don't know why you even made me hang out with her since Tuesday, or how they even are considered furthering the Crystal Order's goals, but these missions have been the best ever. Alice is a good girl, lots of fun. I took her to this great seafood place by the harbor on Wednesday. Then yesterday, we went to the mall. So for today, I was thinking of mixing it up a bit, taking her to Twinkle Park an-" "Actually, today you'll be doing something different," Rassilon interrupted Discord. "Oh, I see," Discord replied, "I figured it would come to this. Well, it was fun while it lasted. But anyway, sending me back to the field?" Without saying a word, Rassilon handed Discord a unique-looking box. "What's this?" Discord asked, observing the box he was holding. "We need you to cut out Alice Elliot's heart, and place it in that box," Rassilon said. "WHAT?!" Discord loudly replied, shocked by what Rassilon asked him to do, "But... why?!" "That is none of your concern, Discord," Rassilon said, "You are to do as we instruct. No questions asked." Shaking his head, Discord replied, "No. I'm not gonna do this." "Do you not remember the oath you took when you joined us, Discord?" Rassilon questioned Discord, "Do you not remember how your life was before we found you? And how we took care of you after? And this is the way you repay us?" Angrily clenching his fist in his right paw, Discord silently bowed down before teleporting away for his mission.
It's still too early for them to confirm Utada's involvement. I wouldn't expect such an announcement until sometime next year.
Luke Cage is going to be a separate show, but the character's first appearance will be in Jessica Jones (he's her husband).
I'm guessing we'll get to know the next new world Nomura teased about revealing "soon"
The gaming industry has lost a great man today. Iwata was a gamer at heart, always seeming to be having fun whether it's on the Nintendo Directs or speaking to an audience at E3. It's rare to see other CEOs with the same cheerful attitude. RIP Iwata
So you're the reason this thread hasn't been put out of its misery yet. Tsk tsk...
I'm gonna take the GMAT in 2 weeks, and from the sample questions I'm going through, they're no different than the GRE. Oh joy...
The only thing from Tumblr that bothers me about the show is how everyone there treats it like the second coming of Jesus. Other than that, not a big fan of the show's art style, which may seem like a trivial thing, but is the reason I don't see myself being able to sit through an episode (a similar issue I have with other animated shows I avoid despite a sheer amount of people saying how good they are).
