  1. I'd increase the healing from Ingrain to make it more worth using.
  2. "I've seen many things you know. And I feel I should tell you. Hurt my little Keres and you'll be sorry. I know what's in your mind, and your heart, and I don't appreciate it very much." Pyrrha could only wonder what kinds of things Hannah saw in Lindow's mind and heart. And how she saw them in the first place. Pyrrha could think of a lot of uses for that kind of magic - if it was magic - and most of them were bad. There were definitely some ways to use that to make the world a better place though! As much as she would have loved to think about ways to improve the world with forms of magic she'd never seen before though, she was a bit busy being taken aback. "if the council believes that I'm a threat to the others, wouldn't it be better suiting your position to deal with me now, rather than blow idle threats in the wind before scampering off back to your tower?" Pyrrha curled her lips inward, not sure of what would happen, but certain that something would. The next thing she knew, Hannah had come back to the group and slammed Lindow on the ground! She was packing a lot of strength for someone her size! Way too much, in fact! "So. That was something. I'm guessing some of you wanna go stop her don't ya?" "No thanks," Pyrrha answered, making her way over to also offer Lindow a hand up. "What was that all about? The whole 'what's in your mind and heart' bit? You seem like a pretty good guy to me."
  3. Location: Trailsau (Team Alola, day 27) Inventory: Good Rod, Antidote, Kasib Berry "You know what I'm doing here do you? No, I don't think you really do. You think we can just keep going with this cycle over and over? No, eventually it'll all come tumbling down anyway. So we're going to tear it down on our own terms. We're going to remake the world. We're going to SAVE the world! And a weakling like you is not going to stop us." Nani bent back, held up only by her elbows and knees, and slid forward to duck under the rocks that had been tossed at her. She didn't like this sandstorm, let alone having to fight Allie in it. It stung at what little exposed skin Nani had, and some of it even got in her mouth. Luckily, she didn't have to worry about it for long, before it subsided and was replaced with rain. That was a bit more her speed, and must have been Marie's doing. Meaning the fight with Heatran was over. Perfect. Nani spat the bit of sand out of her mouth. Springing back up to her feet, Nani retorted "There has to be a better way, like fixing the world instead of wrecking it and building a new one. Furthermore..." Nani raised her hands up to the sky, and continued "I'm just here to buy time, and it looks like I've bought just about enough of it. I win." Nani elected not to mention that she didn't quite understand the bigger-picture motivations Allie had in mind by fighting and presumably killing Heatran; she only knew the Tyranitar's immediate goal. That said, she didn't want to get close to Allie without the rest of the team being here just yet. Nani kept her distance, staying light on her feet and ready to evade further. "You sure you don't want to just call it a draw?"

    Bonus points for going into why they're your favorite band. 8/10, never heard a song by BRADIO I didn't particularly like. I'm just gonna start skipping PMD. This is exactly who I should have expected you'd post but I didn't for some reason. I always imagined you have some secret favorite band you just don't talk about I guess. The best part of this video is how Richaad just stands there in the back. It gets hard to rate this song properly after the first half or so, so let's just go with that bit and leave it on 7/10. Bonus points to you as well for explaining why your band is your favorite. 8/10. OP's suggestion, from his own favorite band. Ghost is one of those bands that changes style between albums, but to a very small extent, with Prequelle (which the above is from) being the most different of their albums. There's a lot of reasons I like Ghost, but strictly in terms of music, I like that they're a modern-day band with that "older metal bands" feel you get if you look back to the 70s or 80s (at least in Prequelle). 9/10.
  6. "Oh. So that's what happened to that one kid at the entrance exam." Hibiki nodded enthusiastically, glad Yuuka was so quick to play along with the bluff. "Eep! You're...You're bluffin!" Uh-oh. "I wouldn't chance it, sis. They got me...and I don't really wanna be a pile of ash right about now..." Fortunately, Ren was a bit more cautious with the bluff, not wanting to take any chances. Her wings flapped eagerly as the male twin surrendered, leaving only the girl twin, who also followed suit. Her heart was still racing, ready for one of them to say something like "As if!" then suddenly turn on the bat girl herself. Fortunately, that wasn't the case, complete with Ms. Hitotsume knocking Gypsy out cold. Much to her relief, the Kinetitwins had been defeated. She could hear sirens in the distance as the two were put in handcuffs, and Hibiki left Renegade with a "Sorry for holding you hostage like that," before reuniting with her teacher and the rest of the class. At first, it sounded like they'd all done a pretty good job, but then... "Psyche! That was pathetic! It took you forever to dispatch a couple of low-level thugs! When I first started this whole hero thing, I was beating baddies like these like I was wiping my own ass! Makes me a little nostalgic watching your faces getting stomped, though." "Ehhhhhhhh?" The students here didn't really have "dispatch of thug" type Quirks though, aside from Herc who couldn't fight Renegade because of how his own Quirk worked. Compared to shooting laser beams, that was hardly fair. But Ms. Hitotsume did take everyone out for ice cream, aside from Herc and Taro who had to be sent to the hospital. She'd make sure to check in on them after school today if they weren't back before classes were over! Hibiki had gotten orange-flavored ice cream, and quite a helping of it for someone of her size. She wasn't about to let the offer of one free ice cream go to waste! "So...what do you think of hero-ing?! Totally wanna give up, don't ya?" "Not happening!" Hibiki answered after taking a moment to stop shoving ice cream into her mouth. The rush of her first successful hero work was coursing through her veins, and it showed. "It wasn't easy getting the okay to come up here, so I'm not wasting it by giving up. I'm going to start training my Quirk like crazy to catch up to everyone else, too!"
  7. "Sun Lizards. It's a house that definitely seems like it'll help me in the long run. Especially if I want to develop my own mech from scratch one day. After all, they happen to be a house of information, so gathering as much as I can and even finding out what certain mechs are capable of can help my studies and research out even more. What about you?" "Information is how you win, I guess. I'm looking at House Bomb myself. Not out of the interest of making friends or having fun, but because the house head makes me wonder a bunch of things, like how he operates, what he's doing here to begin with, or what sort of mech a robot would pilot." Although, Sammi already knew what kind of mech a robot would pilot. One with propellers, apparently. At least in her case. "Otherwise, I'd also be joining up with the Sun Lizards, even if Merlin rubs me the wrong way." Because information. "Um, no. It doesn't. It just kind of helps me walk. Most of the time at least." "Ah, I see." Stella's answer was straightforward and clear. Kellz, however, didn't seem to appreciate the question much. "You don't go around asking people things like that. What the hell's wrong with you? Think we're some sort of exhibit or something? Well, do you?" "Of course not," Vivian answered, regaining her balance from being so suddenly shoved, and taking care not to drop any of Stella's things she'd helped pick up. "I've just never met anyone with prosthetic parts before, and the strength in your arm was so impressive I couldn't help but wonder if all prosthetics were like that." The more she thought about it, it would be kind of weird if Stella's leg really was super-powerful. Her walk would be all lopsided and stuff. "I didn't mean to pry, and I definitely didn't mean to make anyone upset." Tilting her head over to look past Kellz and over to Stella, Vivian smiled awkwardly and said "Sorry if I asked something inappropriate."
  8. Day 8, ?:00, Mall Points: 61 W/L Record: 3/3 "It's complicated. But I guess-" Suddenly, Ross was interrupted by the rising of a giant skeleton from the floor, causing the crowd to disperse in a panic! Aurora was fully prepared to fight in that moment, thinking it was some sort of monster attack or something... only to find Morgan sitting atop the thing. This was her doing then. From as much as she understood about Morgan and what sort of magic she could do - it was still weird to think of it as magic and not an inherent power she had - a full-out fight between her and Aurora here would put everyone in danger, themselves included. And Morgan didn't exactly come across as the type to put the skeleton away just because someone asked nicely. Aurora simply accepted these were her circumstances now, as Ross went on to explain that she was some sort of... human-demon hybrid? How did that even work? "...with the crowd cleared up, I guess we should go get food?" Aurora squirmed about, trying to slip out of the bony hand that had picked her up. "And I appreciate the lift, but can you put me down?"

    7/10 Beats me. I'm not keeping mental inventory of all the pokemon spinoff tracks you've posted. There was a GaMetal cover of this one pretty recently. 5/10 7/10 6/10 OP's suggestion. I've been thinking about one particular 2hu a lot lately, so let's post her theme. It amuses me that Shinmyoumaru is the shortest of all Touhou characters yet has one of the longest names and themes in Touhou history. 7/10. Let's do something fun for this next round of posting. Post a song by your favorite band/artist, and if you're feeling up to it, explain why they're your favorite if it's something you can put into words.

    Ohh, so they're one of those bands. Sweet. Getting some vague Marilyn Manson vibes from this specific track. 7/10. SEASON 4 HYPE! 7/10 6/10 OP's suggestion. I bought Cadence of Hyrule yesterday (then beat it within 8 hours of purchase, including a break about two-thirds the way in because my thumb was sore). It's as perfect a combination of Zelda and Necrodancer as I ever could have asked for, so in that spirit, let's rate the perfect fusion of their soundtracks. 9/10, easily
  12. Top 10 2: Electric Boogaloo
  13. Location: Trailsau (Team Alola, day 27) Inventory: Good Rod, Antidote, Kasib Berry "Well go ahead, if you think you can outrun me, I'd like to see you try." Allie wasn't chasing her. This seemed fishy. All the same, if she was giving Nani a chance to put some distance between the two, she'd take it. For good measure, Nani fired another pulse of electricity behind her. As she turned away from Allie though - nearly at the base of the volcano - she was suddenly met with the girl herself, standing right in front of her! Nani didn't even have time to react as she saw Allie's arm swing forward with dark energy, slamming into her face and causing Nani to do a rather impressive flip on her way down onto the dirt beneath her. "Nice trick," she gasped. Nani didn't waste much time springing back up to her feet though, bringing her pink-illuminated foot up and around, into Allie's elbow on the way up. "Guess we're really doing this, huh?" "Looks like it; should've just given in from the start." Darkness surrounded Allie's fist as she was struck and she went to slam it down on Nani. Once again, Nani was knocked onto the ground. This girl could pack a nasty punch! Nani sprung up again, this time taking care to put some distance between herself and her opponent. This wasn't someone Nani could just deal with head-on. "I don't really want to fight, to be honest. But I know what you're doing here, and just sitting by and letting that happen is worse." Nani fired another pulse of electricity at Allie. The most important part of stopping this girl in a fight would be to slow her down and just buy time in general.
  14. "There's not enough space in the cab, so you all are going to have to ride in the back." Not what I was expecting for a ride, but it will have to do. "So be it, then." Natsumi climbed into the back of the truck, and then they were off once the others had also gotten in. She had to admit, it felt nice. The sun on her skin, the wind in her hair, the sights and sounds for her eyes and ears to behold. It certainly beat being cooped up underground all those years. Natsumi could get used to this. Like all good things though, this ride had to come to an end, and the group pulled up and parked at a supermarket in Domino City. "Look around for things you all want to actually eat, and I'll buy them for you... along with other things on my list. Let's meet up by the registers in 30 minutes." "We ought to get looking then." Natsumi pulled out a shopping cart as well, starting into the store and making sure Octavia and Leiko were following. "How do the two of you feel about sweets?" she asked, looking up at the signs of the aisles as if looking for something specific.
  15. Location: Skrelp Harbor Poké: 0 The battle against the Skrelp was going well enough. The combined efforts of Bubbles, Snipe, and Chinchou, were paying off. Bubbles, however, was taking a bit of a beating. Three of the Skrelp had swarmed him, and while he seemed to be quite a bit stronger than them, there were still three of them. Maybe letting someone else wrap up would be for the best. Kanon recalled Bubbles to his Poke Ball. Being a squid, surely Ursula could breathe underwater. And so, Kanon retrieved her Poke Ball holding the Inkay, and opened it up. Only to immediately realize, she had no idea what Ursula was actually capable of. Uh-oh. As the Inkay floated about waiting for its command, Kanon pointed at the remaining Inkay, and gestured vaguely, as if to tell her to just do whatever she thought would work. Trusting your judgment on yourself here. Please don't let me down. As Ursula looked over the others and swam into the fray, her body lit up with a reflective sheen.

    Sounds like something that comes straight off a pop radio station of your choice, right down to the lyrics to some extent. Though they're not quite cheesy enough for radio. 5/10 Don't you hate it when a band decides to change its style all of a sudden? I'm curious what their other stuff is like, but for now I'll address what's in front of me. 7/10 This one doesn't sound familiar, so probably not this one at least. 6/10, which is a rating I don't seem to give all that often. 8/10 OP's suggestion. Is a childhood without this song truly a childhood? 7/10

    I'll have to post Touhou remixes more often then. 8/10. Yes. I definitely get the "acquired taste" feel from them though, which at least means I can tell why one might enjoy them. Just hasn't grown on me quite yet. The instrumentals are really nice but the vocals are a bit odd and need adjusting to. My favorite Touhou remix circle - Akatsuki Records - is the same way though, so I can hardly complain. 7/10 I've wondered about this meme for quite some time and never took the initiative to look into it. Quite pleased I don't have to go out of my way for it now. 3/10, the potential's there for something but it's crippled by what it is. Does do what it's supposed to very well though. OP's suggestion. A new DLC hit 100% Orange Juice earlier this week, complete with a character song since it's an idol-themed DLC. That makes the below song only the second song in the game to be written specifically for the game (the first being the final stage theme for the main story mode), with the rest of the soundtrack being royalty-free tracks. I could go on about how I'm surprised this happened on multiple levels, but in the interest of saving time, let's get right to the part where I rate this song 8/10.

  19. "Hey! No touching!" "Then stop moving!" Hibiki retorted as she and Yuuka were flung off of the lady's legs and into the air. Hibiki collided back-first into the wall of a nearby building, and very nearly got hit with the flung body of Yuuka afterward. That sure did hurt. Most of all for her wings, ringing with the unfamiliar sensation of pain. She couldn't grip the lady, least of all when she was doing that crazy cartwheel attack thing. She had to do something else instead of fighting, as it turned out. Maybe a bluff? Would she even buy that? It was worth a shot. "I'm going to say some stupid things, but play along with them, okay?" she said to Yuuka. Making her way over to the downed twin - her pace slowed from the impact with the building - Hibiki took a seat on the sidelines next to him. And then, she shouted to the other twin, "Stop or I'll turn him into a vampire!" as she pointed at the downed explody-force guy. And then up to the sun. "And then he'll get fried like some cheap fast food by the sun up there, because that's what happens!" Surely she'd buy that. There was no way for them to prove Hibiki couldn't turn people into vampires, after all.
  20. "That's average height for a fully grown Draken. Bet they don't look half so big or tough without their dumb armor." "Armor does have that effect on some people, doesn't it?" Pyrrha thought aloud. Still, these guys seemed pretty huge. She looked over Reinaan, picturing him in a similar suit of armor. It certainly did give him a more imposing presence if he was wearing that stuff! Even as she thought about how the rest of the group might look in those suits of armor, it had the same general effect to different extents. Keres less so than the others, Reinaan a bit more than the rest. More interesting than the draken templars though, was the girl who seemed to spot Keres out of the group, and merrily made her way over. "Hey, so is this your friend or something? Why don't you introduce her?" "She's...Hannah. Council-member Hannah." Ohhhh, so Council members do leave that tower sometimes! Which effectively meant they could meet one just about anywhere, right? Pyrrha had some mixed feelings about that one, since some other Chosen clearly had trouble trusting them. "What brings a member of the Council all the way out here, though?" she asked. Pointing her fingers out to Hannah and Keres, she added "And for that matter, how do you two know each other?"
  21. "Man...I hadn't finished that..." Take better care with your drink then. "Hmm? Oh yeah, I was defending it with a few others. Was in the mech known as Aegis Weiss. Chase Weller, at your service. So if you knew about that, then that means you must've been up there on the outside of the ship too. Soooooo which mech were you piloting?" "Sammi." Sammi took and shook Chase's hand, but only for an incredibly short time before returning it to her side. "My mech is the SK-04, designed for aerial combat. The one with the propellers." Asking what Chase was doing in a place like this was kind of a no-brainer, of course. Learn about mechs. It was a regular part of conversation to exchange questions and answers though. Luckily, there was plenty to ask. Why was his grip so bad? Just how much did he contribute to the defense of the Finback earlier? "Have you been thinking about those houses?" she settled on. "Yeah, our home isn't much special. It's fine but well - " "It's like she said. It's a place like most others. Had some issues but so does everywhere. I guess best you can say about it was that it was consistent. You could pick out any random planet in the universe and probably hit one that's like ours." Is that so? It sounded a bit drab if that was the case. Or maybe she was the weird one here. Stella then put her bag up to Kellz for... some reason. "C'mon Stella you're making me look like a lunatic. Alright, suppose it's better than getting into it with one of those guys." She then cocked a fist back and swung. Vivian watched in amazement as Kellz punched the bag with enough force to rip the bag open! Impressive! And a bit messy. "Ah...shit. Dammit. That was stupid." "I can help pick up anything that spilled," Vivian offered, already checking around and picking up anything that might have fallen out of the bag Kellz punched. "I've never seen someone punch something quite that hard before. You must be really strong!" It probably had something to do with that prosthetic, right? Vivian had never met someone with them before, but she read once that a long time ago, they were weaker than organic body parts. And yet, here she was in this day and age, watching somebody punch that hard apparently on accident by using the prosthetic arm. Technology sure was amazing! "Can your leg do things like that too?" she asked to Stella.

    This is neither from Pokemon spinoffs nor performed by The Bubbas. Who are you and what have you done with Spaz? It's not a factor in the score, but anytime a song's lyrics include "blame it on my" I immediately think of Sail by AWOLNATION, which I actively despise as a song. "Spent all my money as soon as I got paid" sure is a relatable line though. 7/10 You were the one who posted the sea shanty too, right? And when presumably-you did, I was like "with some modern touching up, this could be really nice!" This is precisely the kind of touching up I was talking about back then. Also, do Runescape's graphics really look like that? Quite a bit better than I remember! My gut says 10/10. The genre is a piece of shit. Not quite sure how I feel about the band, but it sure is interesting. 5/10. OP's suggestion. It's another vocal Touhou remix, but quite possibly my favorite one that isn't done by Akatsuki Records. 10/10
