    Couldn't find one and can't be bothered to make one, but what's everyone's favorite desert?

    I did pretty well on a project on Antarctica in middle school, so I guess that's my favorite. And the Sahara, too, though a bunch of people say that, I bet. But what other deserts do you all like?

    Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
    -Isaiah 43:18 (NIV)

    “That puts you on a higher level, in that case,” Gabriela said.

    Melissa wasn’t entirely sure what to make of that, but it felt and sounded nice and Gabriela was smiling so she didn’t push it more than an “Mm.” The other part, the “I’m cheering for Hiraku” part, that was something she could at least try to engage with. “I don’t know, I like rooting for underdogs,” she said. “I don’t really have a reason or anything, I guess I just like hoping.”

    “Um-” Melissa was about to start another thought, but whatever it was, it was interrupted by Ashley Rendleman taking the floor, her voice booming from every corner of the hall. That was a scary thought, Melissa pondered, Ashley being everywhere at once, but thankfully, she was just there to emcee.

    She already knew a lot of the introduction bits. Hadn’t she just talked to Gabriela all about this? But the stakes, especially the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, she hasn’t known about any of that. Should she have known? And their respective decks -- Gabriela was on the duel team with both of them, right? That was probably pertinent information that she could have looked up earlier and relayed onward, but only once Ashley had mentioned it had she even -

    She swallowed, and Melissa tried her best to swallow her fears down, too. It was such a nice night; it certainly wasn’t one she wanted to ruin by leaving Gabriela behind. Still, when everyone cheered “It’s time to duel!”, Melissa’s cheer was significantly quieter than all the others. But that was normal (right?). It was fine. She was fine.

    Melissa squeezed Gabriela’s hand a bit tighter, though she had to let it go to applaud the start of the evening’s festivities. She went back for it as soon as she could.

    The duel started and it was already hot as an oven. Or maybe “hot as a crucible” was more in-theme, not that either phrase deserved much comment. One question did pop up, though. “What do you think so far?” Melissa said. “I don’t- You probably think you could take both of them, don’t you?”

    Boy you better build yourself a castle and a moat

    Cause I'll be charging you like a goat

    Your post is toast

    Nothing for you to even boast

    You are in for a serious roast

    Ready to receive it fresh from the East Coast

    Leaving you in a perpetual state of comatose

    You may as well be a ghost~!

    Let's hear it for the real host!

    The one that everybody cherishes the most!

    Ohhhhh! ~

    *fantasy cues in: applause from everyone*

    Are you trying to roast the host post without a hint of "glasnost"
    and then in victory, coast to the Ivory Coast, trying to boast about how you made the host post a ghost
    without realizing that, what you've done, at most
    is taken the readers, until then engrossed,
    and ruined their fun? Well, first and foremost,
    your post-host-no-glasnost-ghost-roast-boast-coast
    is invalid, because that's my riposte.

    If you said you had me, I'd say "almost"
    My respect you deserve, maybe even utmost
    But the truth is, in terms of making rhymes overdosed,
    There's only one me, and my one true host post

    I think Christmas gets as many slapping mashups as Halloween. I can think of at least two, at least (though they both involve Mariah Carey so maybe not)

    EDIT: There is Christmas Eurobeat, but that's getting saved for Christmas, obviously

    First game I 100%ed yo

    Anyway. With that in mind (and if you're paying attention you know what's next...but slightly different)

    What's your 3 favorite support conversations (the whole line C-A) in Sacred Stones?

    Alright, from bottom to top, I guess:

    Honorable Mentions:

    Spoiler

    Half of Joshua's (specifically Natasha, L'Arachel, and Innes) and all of L'Arachel's sans her one with Dozla (Eirika, Ephraim, Innes, Rennac, and, of course, Joshua) are very good and it's difficult to pick just one to take any given slot so they all just get lumped together here. I guess that makes L'Arachel x Joshua combined spot number four but shoutouts to all of them.

    #3

    Spoiler

    Eirika x Seth. It's weird, I don't normally go for this one -- the game gives its main characters weapons named after incestuous twins, I can't not go Eirika x Ephraim -- but it completes its own little narrative that technically starts even in the opening cutscene to the game and the characters contrast super well. The A conversation is a little cheesy (something shared by all the other romantic supports, I think), but it works.

    #2

    Spoiler

    Ewan x Ross. This probably wasn't intentional, but I like how late Ewan is introduced compared to Ross. They're both brats, but because you, the player, have known Ross for longer, he feels significantly more sympathetic as he has to deal with Ewan's teasing until they finally gain some respect for each other. Plus, Ewan's puzzle showed up in a Professor Layton game which made me feel clever for knowing the answer right away.

    #1

    Spoiler

    Colm x Neimi. Sacred Stones' "OG" support link, as it were. Like I said before, never in my entire time playing Sacred Stones did I not get to the A rank with this one. Other conversations may fade by the wayside (Never found out if Artur found Neimi's mirror. It's a mystery to us all...), but these two spent all my playthroughs together. It's just- It's just cute. No hints of "will they, won't they", just a childhood friendship becoming a little bit more.

    If you asked me again on some other day, you'd probably get three wildly different answers, but that's what I got.

    I forgot if I already asked this somewhere but what Fire Emblem have you played? iirc you mentioned something about the games before

    I've only played Sacred Stones (FE8), though I put so many hours into it that one day I booted it up and it straight wiped all my saves and wouldn't keep another one so I actually haven't played any in a while. However, I'd be lying if I said I'd seen all the content in that game. I never paired Neimi with anyone other than Colm, for example, so I've only seen a lot of the support conversations online, and none of the postgame content really appealed to me, so I always just made a new save and started again.

    1) They wouldn't call me radio414 if I didn't have at least some musical variety (and by "they" I mean me)

    2) That sounds like an excuse to get a even more weird.

    I guess it's in spirit of the season, in a nihilistic sort of way. Headphone warning around halfway in.
