Alright, so... "Do whatever you want." Okay, sure. I'll do both or something.
Gimme like 20 minutes and the next one will be done. Or better yet, give me more, because I haven't uploaded or resized any pictures yet.
Still. Soon. And you'll get another tomorrow too, because I'm pretty sure I promised more frequent updates and haven't delivered until now.
EDIT: Chapter 17!
Upon checking one of the doors, we find a save point. It's high time our characters got some rest.
In this, y'know, hellish factory type place.
"...Huh? Stars?"
"Daaaaayum. Who's she?"
"Wait! No!"
"NO! ZOOM IN! GO BACK!"
"....Goddammit... Who the hell was she?"
"A train?"
"We're going closer to the train's stop... what's so important about it?"
"Okay... guards... what's so special about the train?"
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK! OH NO!"
"Poor guards... didn't stand a chance!"
"Whoa, okay, backflip. That was disorienting. Why do I have spiky hair?"
"...Is this one of those spiritual journeys or something? Whatever. Better follow him."
"Hey, wait up!"
"Why can't I run?"
"STOP! I CAN'T KEEP UP!"
*whooosh*
Cocke: "I need to see someone about these dreams. Or stop sleeping maybe."
Everyone else had an uneventful sleep. What could Cocke's dream possibly mean??
The other door led up a whole bunch of stairs... to a series of tubes. Have we reached the internet?
...And this man must be the KING of the internet!
"It's not a big truck! It's not something you just dump something on!"
We get it, Senator Ted. Go enjoy your corruption charges.
And then another series of tubes, but these tubes have been filled. And when they're filled, the internet will run slower.
Better clean out the tubes then.
Hey, they're espers! And we arrived right on time to get more magic!
A wizard arrives precisely when he means to. Especially when it means we get to use the corpses of magical creatures to cast spells.
It's like war profiteering, but somehow moral in the context of the game world.
Whoa! Tinky-Winky! Get your own TubbyToast!
"Again! Again!"
...How are you coming to this conclusion?
Is there a note attached or something?
Or are you just bullshitting it?
Regardless, it's time we got what we came here for. UNLIMITED POWER!
...Wait, wasn't Tinky-Winky purple? The yellow one was... uh, La-La. Right?
Store is not put off by the ludicrous uniform.
"Your employees?"
...
DRAMABOMB!!!
"I got your memo! Excellent conclusions! You earned your place as Most Efficient Employee of the Month!"
...
DELAYED-ACTION DRAMABOMB!
Kefka: "Everything she says is a lie! Remember when she told you her birthplace wasn't Zozo? SHE LIED!!"
Pfft! Two robots? We'll have no problem fighting them.
...Assuming they let us fight them. Geez, talk about your fine print.
For once? What about all those times you healed his ass to full health after one monster attack he couldn't stand?
Store changes the colour palette.
"BLUE-GREEN! MY ONLY WEAKNESS!"
And everyone except the party is launched into the air for no reason. Kefka is hilariously taken by surprise.
...Umm, where's Store?
I know! We can't use Runic anymore! What the hell!
...
An explosion... reversed the polarity? Isn't that usually a good thing? It makes bad machines turn good. Maybe if we stand in those tubes, we'll get stronger! Cocke goes in first.
But no, La-La makes us follow him down the emergency elevator.
Steroids work much better.
You'll change out of that stupid costume?
...I don't know how to respond to that stupid, stupid idea.
Congrats! You helped her to do the only thing that makes her useful in the group!
What mistak- oh, no. You're a pedophile, aren't you?! I KNEW IT! The costume's a trap! IT'S A FUCKING TRAP!
Oh, don't you DARE try to distract me! You're going down, fuckin' pervert!
...Okay, pushing us into a mine cart is a pretty effective distraction.
Geez... pretty long hallway...
Completely uneventful, too...
We survive the crash at the end with only a few broken bones. Man up, guys! We're not taking any breaks!
Yo.
"And my girls? That's what you came here for in the first place."
...Shit. Right. Well, we screwed that up. I'm not going back in there.
MISSION FAILED
"Little bits of stripper everywhere. I'M not cleaning it up."
You gotta be kidding me. He's gonna try to stop us with two big grabber-claws?
The airship is on the other side of the continent. He can't reach that far.
...Can't he?
Those, dear AHNULD, are some LONG ASS GRABBER CLAWS.
And we have to fight them. Luckily, Hef is going to help out even though he's still a little bitter about what happened.
His unique ability is "Slot." It does exactly what it sounds like.
Ahem. A slot machine.
Different pictures do different effects. For example:
Hefner: "I learned this trick from a little game called Legend of Zelda!!"
It's still not all that effective, but Hefner also throws cards for his attack, so I want to keep him in the party if at all possible.
...When all else fails...
And we're free!
Who?
Oh. Right. The plot.
The game skips over that part. I would too. If you're just joining us now, then get off your lazy ass and read the rest of the friggin' series. Nobody's going to make any allowances for you.
Heh. Thou and You must've been pretty bored just sitting there.
Well, she's alright. Now what do you want to do?
...A piece of magicite appears and starts glowing for no reason!
D-D-D-D-DRAMABOMB!!!!!
