Alright, guys, confession time. I am five months short of twenty, and my parents have given me an ultimatum: Find out what I'm going to do with my life for at least the next year, or they're going to find out for me. It was a tough decision, but in the end I have determined that I will be joining the United States army, and have already begun speaking with a recruiter. In the short term, that means that I am taking the months before I sign the papers and then get called off to boot camp (which might or might not have a significant delay) to wrap up my life, including my LPs. Long-term, I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen, but I intend to finish this game, and come back for more when I can, even if I have to wait four years to do it.
We now return to your regularly scheduled pre-update banter.
Alright, I'm sick of all the mopey crap, time to do something fun.

HA HA! My draconic powers grow!
I can feel the strength rise within me!
Soon none shall be able to stand in my way!
I am the master of dragons!
Fear my blows of death!
Behold, nothing can stand against me!
Will you shut the hell up?

Ultimate draconic power will be mine!
ALL OF CREATION WILL TREMBLE BEFORE ME!

I WILL DESTROY YOU!
Bring it on, you worthless son of a-
Hey, guys!
Look what I found!
Oh… oh, man, this is great!
This is going to end poorly.
Is Michael still doing that moping thing?
Oh, hell yes. C’mon, I’ve got an idea.
You sure about this?
Oh, yeah, I’m sure.
AAAAAAHHHHH!
It… it worked!
Oof!
I’ll say it did! Now quick, go find the others’ pokeballs, and let’s get going!
Michael?
Yeah, Lidda?
What’s wrong?
Just… thinking about Blackstar… about all of you guys, really.
About everything Dad said… *sigh* Why?
Why am I risking your lives on some stupid gym challenge? What’s this destiny everyone keeps talking about, and when is it supposed to be fulfilled? Why the hell…
Alright, I’ve got them!
Okay, everyone in! Let’s go!
Whoo! Freedom! Let’s see what’s out there!
Hold! What sorcery is this that you tread upon my waves?
I’m Azgard, the ultimate badass, and this is Lidda, the ultimate swimming Linoone, and we’re swimming across the mewdamn sea because we can.
You do not seem to house ill intent for the sea, but neither do you appear to be the most trustworthy. I shall accompany you and make sure that you bring no harm to the seas.
Fine by me, pal.
My name is Telus, warrior of the seas.
Hey, remember when Briney was taking us out to Slateport?
Yeah.
Remember that wreck we passed out there?
You want to check it out?
Hell, yes.
Alright, let’s head in.
Okay, everybody out! Let’s check this place out and see what’s here.
Split up and search for loot!
Ooh, I found a dive ball!
Got an escape rope!
I FOUND A TRAINER!
I have found a revive. I doubt it will be of use.
Hey, what’re you doing here?
Well, good luck with that.
So let me get this straight: we searched every inch of this scrap heap, and all we found was a ball, a rope, and a piece of crap we can’t even use?
Looks like it.
Well, dammit that was a waste of time. Everybody back in the balls!
So, what’s next?
I wanna try something out.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
C’mon, it’ll be fun!
Would I be standing here if I didn’t?
C’mon, try it, Lidda.
It’s disgusting!
You won’t know until you try it.
Ekkh, that’th thour!
C’mon, have another!
Lookit that, you already look tougher!
