@TheSilverFox Then you need the right song to accompany you as you wait. Take it with you, beautiful person!



Fitting, I know.

ONE MORE DAY THEN I AM FREE FROM COLLEGE

GO, GO, ROB! FINAL STRETCH!

i envy you in your oldness

TEACH ME HOW LIFE WORKS ROB DAD

Y'know what? I finished the Psyche Battle. Like... I'm mind-blown right now. I wrote the first scene the first day... AND THEN I WROTE EVERYTHING ELSE TODAY IN LIKE AN HOUR AND A HALF, HOLY COW, I WAS INTO IT.

I mean, to be fair the whole battle had been planned a long time ago, so all I had to do - aside improvising a few bits as usual - was adding a few things here and there and just roll with my scheme, but still, I'm surprised by how much I was into it, lol.

Anywho! I'll spend some days locked in school, but in the meantime I'll re-read/correct it, select musical pieces and eventually publish it. Then, at loooong last, I can start catching up the stuff I missed. Gosh, I'm on a roll today, and I hope it won't stop any time soon.

Good on ya, Tort! Can't wait to read it! ^^

I'm also done correcting everything. I literally just need to add the music.
I... Wow.

You'll like it! ...Hopefully! And Alek won't have to die! Hopefully!

I am double-posting for the sake of attracting attention on the fact that I POSTED.
Time for y'all to read, comment and vote, I guess, and uh, here's to hope that Alek will be converted, because BOY did I do everything in my power for that to happen.

EDIT: *re-reads* It's official, with music and timing and all, my posts have turned into full Animes/Cartoons, so, y'all better enjoy that XD

Voting here because I am on mobile and can't access the chat. Uhh, I don't 100% remember what all the options are, but I'm going to say that when Alek wakes up (assuming he wakes up) he'll make up with Sully and either go his own way or follow her until the brainwashing truly loses its substance, which I guess would mean going with the Resistance for a while?

Yeah, so my vote is that Alek at least temporarily joins the Resistance. Also I graduate on June 2nd! So hopefully I'll actually write a post in the two weeks between then and the start of my job.

Okay, after having read the post, I'll lean in favor of Alek joining the Resistance. At the least, he's had a huge amount of holes poked into his psyche and logic, and he's learned that flying into a frothing rage and fighting somebody to a standstill is not a reasonable way to express his emotions or the systematic defamation of his entire rationale, particularly when he realizes the inanity of his naive, single-minded sentiments (as appears to be the case). He's also learned a bit more about the systematic brainwashing of the New Order, the pointlessness of a mindset that leaves to him to abandon his friends, and why it would be better to listen to one of the few who care about him instead of those who tried to vicariously murder him (and would be happy to try again). As such, I think he'll lean in favor of the Resistance, mostly for the sake of Sully, now that he's got all his anger out of him and is left with the solid fact that he might not be on the right side.

So, let him live!

@Ventomology He totally woke up at the end of the post (because Electric Terrain's side effect is to wake up everyone on the battlefield, so I just made him wake up faster than a normally KOed 'mon), Twinkiel's literally waiting for his reaction. Just pointing that out.
Sooo glad you're graduating, congratulations with that stressful thing being over! TIME TO ACE YOUR JOB, BUGGIE!

And thanks for the votes so far, you and Silver!

Another greatly entertaining post worthy of this magnificent storybook! The lyrics of some of the songs made it difficult to focus on the dialogue at that time, but you get used to it after a while. Fitting battle themes and an excellent battle description. Now, for the Psyche Battle's result!

I vote for letting Alek live. Though he finally ought to be convinced that the New Order is lead by a group of pretentious tyrants, I doubt he'll join the Resistance if Sully doesn't join first. But having been forced to acknowledge her sacrifices, I'm sure he'll trust her judgment now and go wherever she goes - if that's the Resistance, then we'll have two new members; if not, at least the New Order has two fewer brainwashed members.

@AstralHunter ...You raise a good point. I've searched for and found a karaoke version of the "They Call Me Trinity" theme. Would you mind telling me if it flows better/is less distracting now? I'm hgappy as long as the nostalgic whistle is there, so, you tell me. (or anybody else that read the post, I wouldn't mind opinions on that, as I think it matters.)

I'll keep "Go!! Fighting Action Power" as it is though, first because Anime Moment is necessary considering this is Twinkiel, and second because the lyrics are supposed to fit him. And, as you said, we DO get used to it. (The instrumental really doesn't work as well, in my opinion)

Gotcha! Three votes in so far, and the post's enjoyable, music choice included. More yays!
I do expect it to be like "she joins, at least to observe/get a new point of view", and he'd follow because it's her, and not join on his own, but eh, we'll see. SO far so good for Alek's life status, though.
