Though, one a day was pretty typical, huh? (I think I'm referring to posting blog posts frequently)
ahwell
I just saw the Avengers, and about half-way through I
remembered "oh, I have reviews to reply to..."
so...
REPLYING TIMEE!!!
Archsage, you do have a point. Admittedly, I never specified
that the darkness couldn't affect Riku. I think. Maybe I'm arguing a dumb
point, and this is going to sound really cover-up-y. I don't mean it that way.
The darkness does not and really cannot tempt Riku. He can't
fall into darkness. Part of that is because he's already got a crap ton of
power, and he might have a lot of hurt in him, but I can't reasonably see that
hurt dragging him down. That, and it just wouldn't work. Even if data can be
affected by darkness, it still isn't supposed to be; the two don't get a long,
and it usually causes a lot of pain to the data. Why? Something's trying to
change it that shouldn't be able to change it.
Okay, maybe I am covering my butt.
But there's this part later on that would be a ton more epic
if Riku could just explode darkness at someone.
Oh! And it helps a freaking ton with book 5!!
I knew there was more than the "I wanted epic
darkness" reason...
Anyway.
I'll go with that the darkness normally/naturally/usually
can't affect data. But Shad intervened. And Shad's gotten the darkness to do
things that it wouldn't normally do more than once already.
Theoretically, anyone else with control over darkness could
intervene, too.
A think an original draft of FtP had Ansem trying, and it
still caused Riku a lot of pain.
Maybe the darkness doesn't affect data in the typical ways,
and since Riku didn't know of the non-typical ways, he said he just couldn't be
affected. Because, no, darkness might not be able to drag data into darkness.
It might not be able to latch on and cause problems later. But it certainly
can try and it's the trying that hurts. Darkness corrupts data
very quickly, or if not corrupt, it'll certainly leave data severly damaged.
And am I over explaining again?
That or I'm trying too hard...
I'll just move on now.
Flightfoot, yes, they are dodging the subject of Shad.
There's a reason behind this.
hmm... KKBeckett, I'll come back to your questions in a sec.
I should finish answering those concerning this chapter
Yes, Peach, that is my logistical (I think that's the right
word) reason. That would totally kill the story arc, and that's the only thing
I care about! Just kidding, that was sarcasm! While, yes, that is a reason, my
main one happens to be that Sora refuses. He doesn't want to see her until he's
sure he won't hurt her again.
That, and other people have ideas to keep them apart, too.
I'd scrap one to make this thing shorter, but I really kinda
like how it turns out, and I love this thing Shad does, and- ugh. Cutting it
would make my life so much easier, because it means I could be like, end-game
in about a month of writing. Maybe it'll still be a month if I keep this, but
considering how spacey and not concretely planned it is, I think most of my
time will go into brainstorming instead of writing...
As for the second thing you said, Peach, I don't see it
happening. Terra's not... around at the moment. (Unless KH3D gives me a
different/canon reason, he's exactly where magik's Terra was. And by the time
he's back, it'll be book 5 and a bit late for it to do Riku any good). And
there ain't no way he's asking Real Thing for help. I mean, maybe maybe if
it was a life or death situation, he'd ask, but even then....
I mean, say, they were fighting together (I can't even see
that happening... but...) and he's like, about to fall off a ledge or
something, I think he'd be okay if Real Thing helped him get back up.
But, if he had to ask Real Thing for help fighting someone
(see, this is why I can't see them fighting together) I think he'd rather die.
I mean, I could see them fighting together, I suppose, if
Real Thing asked for help. But I can't see Real Thing asking for help. So...
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic/joking with the last
thing about Toby and the cookies. But he has been locked in a closet for the
past three months, just in case you weren't joking.
And yes, Xianit, Kairi needs to meet Sora, not only to get
her faith back, but also for Sora's sake.
now... KKBeckett's questions
Yes, this is one REALLY LONG day. I guess I'm just spacing
crud out a lot, or just spending more time writing it than I usually do.
Though, that ridiculously long raid, timing wise, can't have
lasted more than a halfhour. It was probably less.
Yes, Shad is being a meanie. But he doesn't feel good, and
nothing makes him feel better more than bothering people, or, even better,
making Sora bother people for him.
OH, and you can argue that Magik's Namiku bothered him
first. He just bothered them back.
Shad, sleep, are you kidding? He doesn't need to eat,
either.
How did Leon overreact? I don't know. I'd imagine there was
definitely some shouting... and maybe some threatening. Idk, Leon seems like a
person who might threaten someone if he had enough incentive to do so. He might
have tried to attack Sora. I don't, honestly, know. I don't know Leon enough to
spit out his reaction without thinking about it first. So, lemme think about
it. And by the time I'm done, I'll probably have a scene written, because
what's the point of all that thinking if you aren't going to write your result?
That is, of course, if I have time to write it...
Because I should be writing other things, really...
I don't think Kairi was always bitter. I think she was
always easily-offended, though. I'm actually beginning to think that she
had/has a habbit of taking things a bit too personally.
Not sure if that relates to being bitter at all... but, for
certain, the bitterness is probably a result of Sora falling into darkness
I'm glad you appreciate the juxtaposition of Namine and
Kairi's conversation compared to Joseph and Toby's horseplay. I didn't mean for
it to be that way, honestly. I wrote the conversation because I had to, and I
wrote the horseplay to get Joseph and Toby out of the way. But, if it makes
nice juxtapostion, that's great!
I'm going to go type up a journal now.
And pray that youtube works, because I want to listen to
techno, and grooveshark doesn't have easily accessible techno that I would like
to listen to (especially since I don't want some techno remix of the crud they
play on the radio these days. If I want techno, I want some good techno, and
that's on youtube.)
