Harley Quinn or Deadpool?
Probably Deadpool. His character's sense of humor and tendency to be highly inappropriate is right up my alley. Hunger Games or Divergent? Neither. I don't get the hype. |

What's your favorite of the classic Nicktoons?
Tough call. I always kinda liked Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold was good too. |

I've been playing Pokemon Sun in small bursts here and there. Just putzing around, avoiding exploring Poni Island. I don't know why, I just don't want to.
I think my interest in Pokemon may be petering out. The current and last generations haven't introduced many new monsters, mostly variants and pseudo(mega) evolutions. Doesn't help that they pulled another Gen IV by adding a metric fuckload of the new 'mons as legendaries. 80 all-new Pokemon in Sun/Moon. Fifteen of them are legends/ultras and Cosmog. |

"It's a normal staff, a spell focus like the ones you and Cai use." Zarik replies to the question about the item in question. With a hearty laugh, he says, "You haven't seen anything yet. The place is... Huge." as he speaks, his enthusiasm peters off and his chuckle becomes a slight whimper.
Taking Moxley's excitement as his answer, he says, "Maybe we should go before Mox pisses himself like an excited puppy." Drawing his sword and shield, he points in the direction of the western gate and calls out, "We go!" Almost as if to add stage dramatics, his sword and shield both shade shift to red and light up with a fiery aura as they are drawn and readied. With a flourish, Zarik takes a resting stance, his weapons still glowing. Wasting no more time, Zarik heads toward the bridge to the western hinterlands. "Let's go." Upon crossing the bridge to leave Idyllshire, the party makes for the hinterlands proper. Vibrant green grass and vividly colored foliage sprawls out as far as the eye can see. Various forms of fauna frolic through the fields. Immediately to the east, there is a sheer cliff overlooking the selfsame misty forests from before. A waterfall down to the forests can be seen in the distance, as well as all sorts of buildings that appear to be made from the same stone in the city, but in various stages of disrepair and ruin. A nearby bridge to the eastern half of the region is visibly ruined, destroyed by the turmoils of time. The blue cobblestone road lies before the group of heroes and seems to go right along their desired path as far as the eye can see. Overhead, other adventurers can be seen flying hither and thither on a veritable rainbow of chocobos and other flying creatures. Zarik takes a deep breath and sighs, "Man, I can't say I've missed this place. Even with the nice, clean air and all." Strolling down the road, he calls out, "We've got one hell of a hike ahead of us, so I hope you guys can stay with me and alert." By this time, he will have sheathed his sword and strapped his shield to his back, returning them to their blue resting state. (EDIT: Forgot the ambience, fitting that the video loosely follows our path AND swoops by Gordias-stage Alexander.) |

Pulling out a whistle of his own and giving it a hearty blow, Zarik says, "Some time after this, I'd wager," he answers as a rather large amber red chocobo with white-tipped plumage and a dual saddle rushes to greet him and chirps happily, "We'd need to take a rather lengthy detour from here to go to where I need to go for the wood."
Mounting the bird, he motions to Zissou to climb to the pillion. After getting the lalafell settled in, he says, "This isn't going to be as cut and dry as I had originally hoped, as far as ventures go." Petting the chocobo's neck to calm it, he continues, "Considering how I wasn't exactly expecting to get strong armed into doing this errand, that kinda put a damper on getting things done quickly." "Come now," Zissou interjects, "You know as well as I and the rest of us, you had every intention of exploring at least a little bit." cracking a smile, the old man adds, "You are merely upset that you had to change your itinerary." "I guess you're not wrong." Zarik replies with a sigh and a shrug. |

Upon having finished the main story and poking through the the postgame in Sun, I'm pretty satisfied at how everything wrapped up.
Not gonna lie though, I may soon drop it from my "currently playing" list and move on. I don't particularly have much interest in things in the postgame since all that there is left is multiplayer stuff. The only way I'll really start caring about that is if there's a demand for me to be yet another competitive Pokemon streamer/let's player. That said, my copy of Moon is reserved for when I go to Nuzlocke gen VII. |

"Oh okay." Cai says with a bit of a yawn, "I guess that makes sense." She then sets her elbow on the bar and rests her head lazily on her knuckles. |

"Hang on, gimme a sec." Zarik says, dismounting his bird. "While I don't doubt the draft bird could hold all three of us by weight. I've seen two heavily armored roes riding one of these bastards. The saddle would be uncomfortable for everyone involved."
"Instead, I think I could convince one of my other chocobos to carry you." He says, pulling out a second whistle, which he gives it an equally hearty whistle. Moments later, a smaller chocobo, more appropriately sized for its master, in a black mage-esque barding rushes up to Zarik and chirps excitedly. Pulling a leafy head of vegetables out of his bag, he presents it to the bird, whom munches it down in three quick gulps, he says, "Alrighty bud, I'm gonna need your help today. Gonna need you to ferry around a friend for me." and motions gently toward Bel to show who needs to be carried, continuing, "Do me a favor and don't buck him off, okay? He isn't quite as used to riding as I am." The bird seems to nod in understanding. "Meet Bettergreg," Zarik says as the chocobo walks over to inspect Bel, ruffling up its feathers and lets out a shrill kweh, "It might take him a bit to get used to you, but he's a good bird. Just stay loose and keep a hold of the reigns and he'll take care of you." As he Zarik goes to get back on the larger bird, Bettergreg squats down to make mounting the saddle easier for the elf. "A word of advice, Bel," Zarik says, "Keep your feet in the stirrups. You're taller than I am, so your legs will drag otherwise. Believe me, it will not end well for either of you if you don't." |

"You should be fine just sitting there. He ought to just follow me as if we were running around, beating on the local fauna." Zarik says as he motions to the nearby overgrown slug-like caterpillars, to which he mentions, "You may wanna steer clear of the cralwers. They're kinda nasty to deal with." |

Starting off down the trail, Zarik laughs and says, "Funny you should mention that. In fact, there are." Pointing to the middle distance, there are several large, vine-like dragonflies, "See those guys over there? Those are damselfflies. I'm not so well versed on the ecology here, but I think they're one of the crawlers' predators."
"Other than that," Zarik mentions, "We really only have to worry about the occasional bear, or..." His face turns noticeably pale and his voice cracks out, "Malboros..." Zissou then quips sarcastically, "Then suppose it fortuitous that we are passing right by the arboretum." "Yeah, thanks for reminding me, smart ass." Zarik gulps, trying to regain composure. |

When you get a ditto, breed me off a litten. I can give a rowlet in exchange.
Shame that incineroar's signature Darkest Lariat is a dark move. |

Speaking of Futurama... How about the fact that a good number of things they joked about fifteen years ago basically becoming reality? |

Why does it bother me that your text backdrop table isn't centered vertically? |

Are you okay with goofy/innapropriate names? I have a tendency to give really dumb nicknames to my 'mons. |

"Do we ever have malboros!" Zarik exclaims, his tone nearly spooking the behemoth bird he's mounted on. "Here in Eorzea, we have 'em in all shapes and sizes! From the saplings to full grown ones in the Black Shroud near Gridania to..." He pauses for dramatic effect as they round the corner of a ruined building to a decent sized spillway lake teeming with large plant-like tentacle monsters, easily thrice the size of Zarik's chocobo. He points dramatically at one nearby and rasps, "These are the small ones here in Dravania." The stench coming from them is rather overwhelming, even from the hundred meters or so away that they are.
"It would be wise to give them a wide berth, gentlemen." Zissou states, "Even for a man like myself with a fondness for a vintage malboro wine, this is far too much." |

"What died?" Zarik echoes incredulously, "How about all of the carrion these things eat?" He says, almost sarcastically. "Though to answer your question, there is no going around. We basically have to trudge through the quickspill delta here, it stretches all the way over to the cliff and, well, spills into the Thaliak river." He waves his arm toward the cliff at the horizon to the east."
"Our best bet to get through unscathed," Zissou interjects, "is to hope that none of these infernal roses spot us as we invade their garden." Upon reassessment by gazing out over the edge of the water, "I stand corrected, guys, the pond doesn't go that far out, but it looks like it's been raining, so it's probably swampy toward the cliff." |

"Uhhh..." Zarik stammers, "I'd rather not engage, if possible. Not sure if you notice, but Mox and I kinda need to get into these things' face, and I'm already queasy at this distance."
Pressing on a pressure point on his chocbo's neck, the bird stomps and tries to relieve the pain of the pressure. In the excitement, the oversized bird splashes about in the water, hopefully proving a point non-verbally. Zarik then rubs the bird's neck to help it calm down. "Let's hope that display didn't..." He is cut off by the revelation that he doesn't need to finish his statement, one of the closest malboros turns and sloshes toward the party. "Aw fuck!" Zarik exclaims, dismounting and grabbing Zissou by the collar and swatting the mount away, "Guess you're gonna find out after all, Bel!" Drawing his sword, he gives a flourish as the sword sets ablaze and he is momentarily surrounded by reflective hexagons. Zissou prepares for combat by also flourishing his book open then tapping the page and thrusting a finger forward. Moments later a small faerie dressed in yellow and green bursts forth. "Eos? Really!?" Zarik exclaims. "I was not given much time to think, thank you!" Zissou counters, "She will have to do for this battle!" |

The malboro is blasted with the fireball for visibly little damage, and is equally undeterred by the wall of fire as it whips its vines at the surface of the water to douse the flames as it continues its shambling toward the party.
Moving as quickly as possible through the water, Zarik runs a semi-circle around the monster. Throwing his shield with a show of embers, he taunts "Hey ugly! Uh... eyes? On me!" The shield smacks the beast right between the tentacles that look like they could be its eyes with a metallic thud, but the embers appear to have been nothing more than show. Catching the thrown weapon on the rebound, he holds his arms out in front of himself and focuses. With a faint golden glow, his shield burns slightly brighter. The malboro seems to take notice and turns its attention toward Zarik. Zissou folds his hands below his opened book and focuses as well, snapping it shut, he chants, "Pray, Thaliak, give your followers succor!" The party is enveloped in a soft, warm white light. A slight haze lingers around each party member after the light fades. Better Greg ignores Bel's dismissal and plows through the water with surprising speed, then leaps into the air and delivers a weighty kick to the monster's haunches. The bird chirps aggressively and seems to celebrate, but the kick appears to have done little. |
