/[RL]/[RP] rubs face Hey all, sorry for disappearing like that right at the end of Hugs. It's NOT the way I wanted to wrap up such a good gaming experience.
Lets just say stuff went down at the apartment complex and I'm just now getting everything back together.
On the plus side I HAVE finally gotten a new job so is something to be happy about (and nervous about at the same time).
HEY BUDDY I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK 
lskdjfdf Nao your timing! Sorry for that ping when you are RIGHT HERE
LOL
While you are here, Nao, did you want Regis with memories in that thread? I am assuming so, but I wanted to double check.
I am going to be slow, but I am going to start making time to get back to fun things now that apartment troubles are done. The bad thing about living in an apartment complex is dealing with neighbor's issues. X.x
whatever you're up for! i figured you were Busy but i tossed that in if you wanted some wrapup u3u <3
yes, I DO! hugs I am glad you tossed it up. I was so excited to see it come into my inbox.
I think I mentioned that unless someone wanted to drag him back with them, he was going home with memories so it works perfect. It's just going to be a little bit of fun for him to come back to a world that is different from what he was expecting because someone's been busy! 
hehehehehe
also a little bit of fun on a different topic, fontech to try and distract me from the stuff going on in RL one of my friends finally got me into Critical Role and I just got to meet Kiri yesterday! You did such a good job with the little one. Ugg I love her all the more now!
slaps the shit out of that track button 
and aww yay! kiri is so wonderful i love her...
bird...
LOL yes birb!
i love my baby birb
They just pulled her out of the swamp, but already I can see how beautifully terrible this will be. Suddenly teaching her to say "bloody hell" won't seem so bad. LOL
wild to think back and remember thats kinda how it all started for me. us. w/e
"go fuck yourself!"
right? I know exactly what you mean. So much good stuff came from a blind guy finding a little bird person that can't talk except to mime. 
Once I have some time to review, I may have to break Iggy back out because I really loved playing him and the muse is still back there wanting to come out and play.
i would LOVE to play around with ignis again
\o/ It will be the first time I've played him with all his information from the start! LOL I still remember Ardyn and Iggy canon updating in Life Aftr to adjust for what we learned from Epi Ignis. 
us furiously course correcting like MODS I'M REALLY SORRY BUT-
Ahhhh good to see you again!
RIGHT? Because those previews totally set us up for one thing and it was COMPLETELY ANOTHER
icelightning: Thank you! I am glad to finally have things slowing down again!
oops,
raises hand, i would also play with u again any time friendo
and if you have any hugs stuff u wanna wrap up i'd be down
/hug!
And the same to you! I feel like Noct and Dad need to have a talk before they leave, yes? If nothing else, he would love to know that Noct is taking friends home with him.
If I was still playing Ardbert....
no worries! Muses are like that sometimes. hugs If you ever feel like throwing someone new at one of mine, you can always do that too.
noct would have absolutely sought out dad for one last convo 
in my heart i think he'd ask dad to write a letter he could read at his wedding... since dad cannot be there...
if he was willing to 
congrats on the job!!!
noct trying desperately not to cry at his own wedding bc he misses his dad 
weh...
baby... hugs him If he didn't have his own little Noct to go back and help he would have come along no questions asked.
yeah, and noct would never ask him to for the same reasons
he wants his dad to live, but what an impossible choice that would be to throw at someone
he takes comfort in he and ardyn both mutually going "fuck fate, actually" so he thinks in at least one universe, regis might be ok :C
right? and it's somewhat fitting that they can never know for sure how the others are doing (aside from the thread that Nao started in my musebox. LOL)
Sad, but fits with FFXV for being sad
hehehe
>_> I might have to take you up on the new muse throwing. Although he's just old muse being reused lol
But ahhhhhhh Nocttttt
the comm isn't like, CLOSED, I still have a noct final toplevel if you like an easy set up? or I could repost something to the callout post.
final top levels are free for all we are all poking away there
icelightning: If you ever want to, feel free! Just let me know if you are looking for a specific muse to reply. 
fontech: I can use Noct's top level if you want! I just don't want to hit anyone who is like, you know, done with it all.
It's good to know threads are still going though. \o/
nah im happy to go back! its here
great! Thank you for the link!
hey this is heckin cute 
lollichop: hehehe, Yes, yes it is. Sorry for the babysitters though. rolls eyes at Clarus and Cor He should be able to shoo them away soon enough. LOL
I was going to tag more once I finished work and then I fell into the pit that is reading old threads. OOPS I guess I can file it under partly under reviewing for Iggy? maybe? Since most of the old threads were his? throws hands into air
mehehe
fontech: you laugh, but looking up my old threads from Life Aftr w/Kiri was the start! I spent WAAAAAY too long yesterday hoping through all Ignis old stuff in that game yesterday. LOL
sometimes you gotta
you should have linked it, that stuff was a riot
LOL! I'm still looking for their first meeting link which cause it was a TDM, is saved separate from the rest of the threads. That one and the snowbrib +snowball fight+plantcat attack were THE BEST
lollichop: Look that slowest of slow burn relationship that Ardyn and Iggy developed will always be one of my top CR experiences in any game. Uggg, some of the threads still made me cry even years later. They were such idiots and I loved it all.
it was SSSSOOOOO good
went from wanting to throw each other into the campfire (literally) to snuggling around it. My heart. falls over
Also lets not forget you CALLING Ardyn's backstory before Epi Ardyn existed.
i think that was my first time playing kiri so it'd probably be the very start of her tracking, let me look
oooh, thank you! \o/
I completely forgot we actually had a small M9 cast at the time. For some reason I was only remembering Kiri. Prolly cause she was the only one Ignis ever ended up tagging with.
haha we were kinda scattered. the cast is why i originally apped, iirc the beau hit me up on some EMP plurk
I skimmed over some of the threads and that Beau had Beau's speaking pattern down to a T. I could hear her voice in some of the tags. I should probably go peek at some of the threads from Yasha and Molly to see if they were as good. You know, now that I know WHO they all are. LOL
the whole cast was so good
now i'm rereading, goshdangit
its a re-reading party
yeeees! Join me! LOL!
For me of course. Iggy HATED what came after for a while. LOL
godddddd
chef's kiss
And then Flowers happened and waves hands There was so much good event timing in that game, but it was a good thing we had Airlocked Noct at that time to grab that particular behemoth by the horns and cool his jets. LOL
fr
I keep thinking of doing a best off plurk, but it's all so good! LOL!
I keep thinking about doing Iggy from right about the same spot canon point wise, but doing it now that I know what came in Epi Ignis and see how much different they play out feels cause I am like that. horrible? pretty much
simpler times
Nao, question because I don't remember for sure and haven't gotten to end game logs yet, but the Storyteller was able to make Ardyn mortal again when they went to the new world, weren't they?
probably yeah, i don't remember if we actually got that played out proper but that was the plan
oh good! That makes me happy even if a lot of the end game stuff didn't get played out. \o/
yeeeees, I need to get back to my tags soon. Iggy's voice never really died out like Dia's did so when I got back into reading things he was like It is about time you paid attention again. LOL I always said he was the most polite but demanding muse I had.
lmao
lollichop: Thank you VERY MUCH because now I have a mental image of the guard shooting Ardyn down because he tried to get to Regis and them holding him back from his body because he's "infected." Huffs Regis is not happy with that mental image.
jhgfdsghjdgfh
it's fine,
NOPE not FINE
manifests like five minutes later going
i don't know what i expected
Regis just walks into his office and is like why didn't you just do this the FIRST TIME
lol
ardyn did you know that lucis has a postal service
skdfjsdlfkj Regis gets a large package from Tenebrae and opens it just to be greeted by a wave from Ardyn.
kjhgfdghjfgkh
he's not a smart man
it's not his fault. that one brain cell for the whole family line is working overtime elsewhere
it's true
i meant sending a letter like "hi if you remember me im fishing in galdin" but that is infinitely funnier
LOL I mean, its the logical conclusion, but logic is apparently non-existent in my brain right now.
ngl i just imagined era literally dropping into his world by accident and it gave me such a lol
takes a wrong turn and ends up on the wrong world like noct lmfao
that allegan sphere would probably still exist lmao. if y'jhimei can randomly port through, why not
LOL look I can't help but imagine Ardyn and Regis just waiting for the day when 30 something Noct wakes up in his room with Pyra instead of waking up alone from having been in the Crystal.
pfft
lmao god
They just all look at each other and realize they went through all those goodbyes and all that pain only to end up in the same world after all. OOPS Sounds so Lucis Caelum it hurts
noct like "what the shit i did all that worrying for nothing??"
Regis is just like "Yeah, now you know how I felt when I woke up and things were...okay for once
'are we all stupid'
'yep'
'mmhm'
'yep'
'mmhm'
if he never goes into the crystal in this AU would he still be 30 
you know, probably not now that I think of it. you get those 10 years back Noct congrats!
im just imagining noct reaching his 20th birthday and regis and ardyn lurking around him like "is it?? soon?? will he remember?? whens it gonna happen"
snickers Noct all like, you know I wanted Dad around more but this is a little...much.
ardyn just like at him
at him
"why is uncle ardyn being weird.....er than usual"
"He's just keeping an eye out for an old friend to arrive. Don't worry. "
wehhh
also since im lurking on that thread im thinking now about regis introducing ardyn to little noct in his wheelchair and him being all shy and scared at first but coming around/opening up the way he did with luna over time
djflsd Oh no that is so CUTE
don't forget to include little Iggy, Gladdy, and Prom swarming Ardyn as well.
ye...
Ardyn: brought to the Citadel to help save the world and speak for hunters all over. In reality, a babysitter and he doesn't care one bit. He probably helps everyone get into and out of mischief.
cute...
noct: dear luna, I have an uncle now, he's immortal and his brother was the founder king, he's living with us now
luna: what
gentiana: what
bahamut, somewhere: /FRANTICALLY CHECKING NOTES
luna: what
gentiana: what
bahamut, somewhere: /FRANTICALLY CHECKING NOTES
best au
I love this AU and everything in it. LOL
